The night still filled the sky and earth, and the ancient capital was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere. Those civilians had no way of knowing that a coup had taken place in the palace. No civilian in any country had the right to know about such a major event.
In a residence in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man in a black coat sat quietly, shaking a steaming teacup in his hand, staring at the air as if thinking about something.
A figure walked in from the open door, and some panicked footsteps made the middle-aged man look slightly angry.
"How can you behave like a man in a panic? Why are you panicking before the sky falls? What big things can be done by being chaotic when something happens!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's scolding, the body of the incoming figure trembled, and his hurried steps slowed down. "Father, do you know that there is a coup in the palace? What should we do?" The incoming figure walked up to the middle-aged man.
In front of me, I asked a little anxiously.
"I know. In fact, I knew something was going to happen three days ago. Yi Decheng once approached me and asked me to join him. After the incident is completed, I will still be my prime minister, and I will have other benefits as I choose." The middle-aged man said lightly.
Said like that.
"Then why didn't father inform His Majesty to avoid this coup?"
"Why should I tell him, do you think he is good to our father and son? I like to see compromise and turmoil. The more chaotic the better, the more chaotic we have the better chance." The middle-aged man showed a sinister smile and raised his hands in the air.
Clenched into a fist.
The man who came in later had a shocked look on his face, and said with a trembling voice: "Father, you don't want to do it yourself..."
"Why not? The Yi family has been the emperor for nearly hundreds of years. It's time for someone else to sit on the throne." The middle-aged man smiled when he saw how cautious he was.
"It seems that Father has been prepared for a long time. You have already decided on a strategy!" The man became a little happy and waited for him with longing eyes.
"Haha, my son, your father will not do anything he is not sure of. In a few days, you will know my plan. It will definitely be something that shocks the entire continent." The father and son looked at each other for a while.
Evil laughter.
As soon as the two of them laughed, a maid came over and announced: "Sir, the eldest princess and the little princess of the royal family want to see you!"
"Well, how could they run out? It seems that Yi Decheng's ability to do things is very problematic! The two weak women didn't notice! I will meet them when they come! Go and bring them in!"
"Father, should I avoid it?" Zhu Long asked respectfully.
"Why do you want to avoid it? Father is going to let you watch a good show today!" After Zhu Yu said this, he looked outside the door. Through the endless darkness outside the door, he seemed to see an image, an image of himself sitting on the dragon throne.
The evil smile at the corner of his mouth became even stronger.
When three figures appeared in sight, Zhu Yu put away his smile and stepped forward to greet them in a panic.
"I didn't know that the two princesses were visiting late at night. I hope the princess will forgive me for missing the welcome." Zhu Yu said a little hypocritically, lowering his head and glancing at Ai Siyu, endless murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Prime Minister and our sisters are here late at night to discuss something important with you." Yu Xi said as he walked into the house.
"A big thing? Why bother the two princesses to run out late at night?" Zhu Yu asked casually.
"It seems that the Prime Minister has not received the information yet! There is a coup in the royal family tonight. My uncle Yi Decheng joined forces with the general of the army and the minister of war to launch a coup. At this time, the strong man of our clan and my father have been placed under house arrest.
In the palace." As soon as the eldest princess said the calm words, her bright eyes turned to look at Zhu Yu's reaction.
"What! A coup in the palace! How is it possible? The emperor treats them so well like brothers and sisters. Why do they want to launch a coup?" Zhu Yu's body trembled and he almost collapsed on the seat, his face turning gray.
"Huh, old guy, you're still pretending to be serious! How could you not know this!" Ai Siyu looked at Zhu Yu's posture and kept cursing in his heart.
"Prime Minister, we are here today to discuss with you how to rescue my father and restore my Yi clan's power!"
"Princess, do you have any plans?" "Well, we have thought of a feasible plan, but we need the help of the Prime Minister's troops!" Yu Xi said these words, his beautiful little face raised, his eyes straight.
Staring at Zhu Yu gives people a strong pressure.
"That's it! I'm afraid I can't help you. I only have more than 3,000 troops in hand. The rest of the force is completely distributed across the country to guard the borders, and I can't call it back at this time."
"Three thousand? The Prime Minister doesn't want to borrow troops to help my father get out of trouble!" Yu Mo said what he was thinking without any politeness.
"Little princess, you have misunderstood. I want to kill the thieves but I can't save my life! You also know that I am a civil servant and I don't have the skills to fight with them." Zhu Yu's expression looked innocent at this time, but there was a strange light in his eyes.
But he exposed himself completely.
"Then Prime Minister, can you lend me these three thousand troops? We already have a very thorough plan, and Zuo Linghou Sugu has fully promised that we will fully help." Ai Siyu looked at the father and son in front of him and said softly.
.
"Oh, that old guy Sugu actually agreed, it's a bit abnormal!" Zhu Yu said to himself in a joking tone.
"As long as we have a certain amount of troops, I will definitely be able to put down this coup. Please trust me and wait, Prime Minister!" Ai Siyu said again, looking at the expressionless expressions of the two people and not paying attention to what he meant.
"Hey, who do you think you are! You will definitely put down this coup. Don't think too highly of yourself, see your own identity clearly..." Zhu Long did not give Ai Siyu any face,
Contemptuous words are spoken without mercy.
"That's enough, Long Er, how can you talk to Mr. Ai like this! As a man, you should be more generous and don't feel resentful just because Mr. Ai is slightly better than you!" A smile flashed in Zhu Yu's expression, but
Seeing the change in Yu Mo's expression, he had to say something to stop Zhu Long from continuing to humiliate him.
"It doesn't matter, Prime Minister. I was reckless and accidentally injured Brother Zhu Long that day. Today I am here to apologize. But I still hope that, for the sake of the emperor's kindness to you, you can help me. Please believe me. I
I will have the ability to rescue the emperor later!" Ai Siyu spoke with strong self-confidence. This self-confidence made De Zhu Yu feel very uncomfortable, and the murderous intention towards him became stronger in his heart.
"Haha, I will naturally believe that Mr. Ai has this strength. From your plans and methods that day, I can see that Mr. Ai is definitely not a thing in the pool. It's just that my army is weak and I don't have the ability to help you. You'd better go back.
It doesn't matter who the emperor is among your father and his brothers! There won't be any danger, so I'd better protect myself. If the new emperor makes trouble with you and the first thing he does when he ascends the throne is to kill me, I
It’s better to cherish my old life!”
As soon as Zhu Yu's words fell, the expressions of Yu Xi's sisters changed with shock. They looked at Zhu Yu with anger in their eyes. "Does the Prime Minister think that my father will be ignored? What will you do if my father ever changes his mind?
"Yu Mo stepped forward and asked.
"Hey, Yu Mo, why are you talking to your future father-in-law? He's about to become a wife, so why are you talking so rudely?" Ai Siyu saw that the situation in front of him was about to become a stalemate, and hurriedly persuaded Yu Mo to stop him.
ink.
"It seems that the Prime Minister has some concerns! Please tell me directly. What are the conditions before you can agree to lend us troops!" Ai Siyu didn't want to go around with him anymore. He knew in his heart that Zhu Yu would do this.
The old thief wants to get some benefits, otherwise he won't help.
"Young master Ai is indeed very smart and has figured out what I am thinking. As the prime minister of the empire, I will live a good life no matter who is in power, because I rely on the people's support and talents. As ministers, we will naturally become the master's sons.
But the true master of this empire is the entire Yi family. What I want is not much. When the emperor is out of trouble, he will hold a grand wedding for my son and Princess Yumo."
The three of them were excited when they heard Zhu Yu's request. The eldest princess turned her eyes to Yu Mo. After making eye contact, the two sisters sat and made a difficult decision. In the end, Yu Mo no longer hesitated.
"Okay, I promise you that as long as you rescue my father and I, that will be the day when Zhu Long and I will be happy." Yu Mo's answer made Zhu Long a little overjoyed.
"Don't agree too early. I haven't finished my request yet. I also want Yu Mo to take over the throne when your father abdicates."
Ai Siyu looked at the eldest princess. He knew that this request was directed at the eldest princess, and it would depend on her whether she would agree or not. "Okay, I can agree to this request, and my sister will take over the throne in the future. Do you have any other requests?
"
"I have asked for nothing, but how can I trust you!"
"There is no need to make any other agreements! I, Yi Yuxi, always keep my word and will not break my oath today." Yuxi's sharp words made Zhu Yu also frown. He had never thought that this 20-year-old
A woman can be so fierce.
"It's better to do something, so that I can rest assured. I have a 'God-Killing Pill' here. It will take effect after one month of taking it. When the attack occurs, the user will be in extreme pain, and the body will turn into liquid bit by bit until the whole body turns into liquid."
Nothingness. I ask you to eat it!" Zhu Yu held a white jade bottle in his hand and pointed at Ai Siyu in the distance.
Ai Siyu showed a contemptuous smile. He knew why the old man in front of him asked him to take this pill. He wanted to avenge that day.
Looking at the two sisters with blank expressions on both sides, Ai Siyu took two steps forward and took the jade bottle. He raised his head and rolled the round pill into his mouth.
"Siyu can't do it. Who knows what kind of medicine he gave him? Who knows what peace of mind he will have?" Yumo screamed and stepped forward to grab the medicine bottle, but it was empty. Ai Siyu had already swallowed it.
Give the elixir.
"Siyu, you shouldn't take this risk for us sisters. We have no confidence that we can rescue our father!" Yu Xi's tears fell one by one, and he shook his head and refused to look at Ai Siyu's handsome face again.
She knew that the Yi family owed this young man a huge favor.
"Hey, it's nothing. I firmly believe that we will succeed, and I am even more convinced that the Prime Minister will fulfill his promise, otherwise I will not let him go if I turn into a Yin spirit body." Ai Siyu said half-jokingly.
"I will naturally fulfill my promise. Don't worry, you can come and ask for troops anytime." Zhu Yu said openly, but with a smile in his eyes.
"That's fine, I will use my spiritual sense to inform you when we take action. I hope you will help me then." Ai Siyu said with clasped fists, and then left Zhu's house with Yu Mo and the others, and went to the Imperial Capital.
Rush to another place.
"Father, do you really plan to send troops to help?" Zhu Long asked with some confusion.
"Silly son... you will know when the time comes." Zhu Yuwei said nothing more and walked back to his room with a burst of laughter.
