Liu Junzhi returned to the courtyard and found Zhang Mufeng, Yang Shan and Lin Chuan for a secret conversation, telling the three of them He Qizhou's current situation and the truth about Jiang Shan's usurpation of the country, and also revealed He Qizhou's true identity.
Although Zhang Mufeng was angry at He Qizhou for forcing the family leader to death, he was much more sensible than Xu Muxue and advocated finding a way to send the secret edict first.
Liu Junzhi informed the three people of the strategies agreed upon with He Qizhou. One of them was to immediately go to Tianxingyuan from Lin Chuan to find Zhang Qingrou, and ask Zhang Qingrou to return to Jiangling to inform the Yang family that the Yang family had the smallest target. If they went too late, the Yang family would probably suffer disaster. Others
He Qizhou's action plan was just an idea and had not been determined in detail. The three of them were required to be prepared at any time and asked Zhang Mufeng to find an opportunity to inform Zhang Zhiren of He Qizhou's idea.
After explaining this, Liu Junzhi quietly found Jiang Can. Because of his eldest brother Jiang Shuo, Jiang Can was also very close to Liu Junzhi and others. Liu Junzhi informed Jiang Can of the unformed plan and quietly brought out the secret edict that He Qizhou had brought out.
He handed it over to Jiang Can and then headed back home.
The carriage going back to the inner city was stopped as usual more than a mile away from home. Master Hong, who was driving the carriage, said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you know whose carriage it belongs to? I'll check it when I come out, and I'll check it when I go in. Is there anything there?"
Is it over?”
"Master Hong, let them see!" Liu Junzhi opened the curtain and let the two Jinyi guards take a look, then quickly lowered the curtain. Unexpectedly, the two Jinyi guards asked to take another look, saying that they didn't see clearly.
The death order was issued, and the two of them did not dare to make any mistakes.
Liu Junzhi didn't care if the other party looked at him more, but he was complaining in his heart. The investigation was so tight that he didn't even give the son of the new chief minister any face. It seemed that he could only rely on his father to escape from the encirclement.
After Liu Yan finished the talk in Tiandu, he went to Wai Shi's home again as scheduled. Accompanied by Liu Junzhi, he went to the attic to visit Liu Yingzhi, who was still a little "over-frightened." Then he saw He Qizhou, who was wanted throughout the city.
After a long conversation, Liu Yan found the truth to be reasonable and reasonable, but at the same time found it difficult to accept.
He Qizhou advised: "If Jiang Shan hadn't accumulated huge wealth from human trafficking, smuggling and other channels, how could he have the money to bribe so many officers in the army? Mr. Liu, have you ever thought about why the late emperor had such tight control?
Under the circumstances, Jiang Shan can still control the army so quickly? Also, who has such great ability to help Liu Jin'an solve a major case? I guess the murder case in the suburbs the year before last year was because the prince wanted to bring down the Chen family and ordered Wang Dingbian to do so.
It’s a cruel trick! How can such a man, who cares so little about human life and is worse than a beast, be worthy of being an emperor?”
"Stop talking, I will find a way to help you escape. If King Jin can really cause trouble, I will help you secretly, but now, you can't expose him yet, otherwise you will be killed!"
"Dad, we have almost come up with a solution. As long as you can help us..." Liu Junzhi told the two of them their thoughts. Liu Yan nodded frequently, feeling that this plan was feasible.
…
In the name of worrying about his sister, Zhang Mufeng stayed at his grandfather's house again that night. During dinner, he wrote the words "shan" and "lang" on the table with water, and asked Zhang Zhiren to choose one. Seeing that his grandson's eyes were particularly serious, Zhang Zhiren sighed.
The earth finger is on the character "lang".
Seeing this, Zhang Mufeng said: "Liu Junzhi will also ask his father to choose one of these two characters. If Liu Yan walks towards the Jinluan Hall tomorrow morning with his left hand holding the wat tablet, then he has chosen the character "Lang", and you will definitely do the same."
If you hold the tablet with your left hand, he will know your intentions and will send people to impeach you and help you return to Ganzhou..."
"Mufeng, do you have any news about He Qizhou?" Xu Muxue said excitedly.
"Well, he is hiding in Liu Junzhi's house. We are going to take action the day after tomorrow to help Jiang Lang rebel! Sister, do you still hate him?"
"hatred!"
"I'm a little bit too. Grandpa obviously helped Yang Zheng, and they repaid him with kindness..." Zhang Mufeng also had hatred in his heart.
"Stop talking, justice comes first, and the secret edict must be delivered to the King of Jin as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhiren said in a serious tone.
In the morning of the second day, someone actually accused Zhang Zhiren of being greedy for power and not fulfilling his filial piety. Then the censors responded one after another. Zhang Zhiren had to resign in court again, but the new emperor Jiang Shan still refused and insisted on seizing the throne in the name of military intelligence.
The Qing Dynasty began to point their fingers at Jiang Shan, accusing him of obstructing officials from fulfilling their filial piety.
Zhang Zhiren was forced to kneel down and beg to resign for the third time. Jiang Shan reluctantly agreed, promising to bury the late emperor tomorrow and return to Ganzhou to pay his respects.
After retiring from the court, Jiang Shan left behind Liu Yan and Youdu Yushi Pang Yuan, and asked them why they impeached Zhang Zhiren so quickly. Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to truly bring the Zhang family back home, you must weaken Zhang Zhiren's lineage.
Authority, you are the emperor of benevolence and filial piety, so naturally this evil person should be shouldered by a humble minister."
"Exactly!" Pang Yuan said eagerly to take credit: "Zhang Zhiren has always been close to Yang Dang. If we reduce his authority as soon as possible, we will have more peace of mind. The minister thinks that what Mr. Liu Ge said is true!"
"Thank you for your trouble, please retreat." Jiang Shan and Yan sent them away, and immediately summoned Zou Jinlin and Zhang Wei.
His instructions to Zou Jinlin were: "After the national mourning, Zhang Zhiren cannot be allowed to return to Ganzhou so smoothly!"
The order to Zhang Wei was: "I will promote you to the acting commander-in-chief of Ganzhou. You will not attend the funeral tomorrow. Set off immediately to seize the military power of Han Chong and Zhang Cheng as soon as possible!"
…
Jiang Cong's funeral was held, and the whole country was in mourning. Prayer flags blocked the sun, and the cries shook the sky. The funeral procession stretched for more than ten miles. Along the way from the imperial city to the imperial mausoleum in Xishan, there were people, horses, and horses, both black and white, and it was impossible to see at a glance.
At the end, the huge coffin was carried by 108 people and was located at the front of the procession. Next to the coffin were more than ten of Jiang Cong's descendants. Jiang Shan, dressed in mourning clothes, stood at the front holding the head of the coffin. The second prince Jiang Feng was the only one.
A prince who is not eligible to attend the funeral.
Among the team holding soul-calling flags, one person hid his head and face under a white filial piety hat. In addition, the three people were blocked by prayer flags two feet high and wide. No matter from the front or the side, the face of the flag-holder could not be seen clearly.
And behind the prayer flags is He Qizhou walking slowly!
He Qizhou was able to sneak into the team thanks to Liu Yan! After being promoted to the first assistant, Liu Yan was granted the title of Duke, and the carriage was also larger. Liu Yan took a box of property rewarded by the emperor to his home in the inner city, and when he returned to the imperial city, there was more in the box.
After all, He Qizhou and the Jin Yiwei did not dare to check Liu Yan's car. The guards guarding the intersection did not even dare to stop Liu Yan's car and allowed Liu Yan's car to drive towards the imperial city. Anyway, even if the assassin entered the imperial city, he would not be able to escape!
During the emperor's funeral, in addition to the imperial guardsmen who were escorted by thousands of cavalry, there were also thousands of people holding flags and flags. They were mainly composed of three parties: the imperial guardsmen, the guards and palace servants sent by the six ministries. In addition to showing the grand scale, another duty was to guard
Those members of the royal family and high-ranking officials! At the bottom of the box where He Qizhou was hiding was a set of uniforms for household guards and a set of mourning uniforms for funerals. All servants must undergo a careful identity check when entering the imperial city, and then arrive before midnight.
Gather in the square in front of the Meridian Gate and listen to the orders of the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies. After Liu Yan's carriage passed the palace, there was a quietly added He Qizhou in the queue heading towards the Meridian Gate.
Jiang Cong's mausoleum had been repaired ten years ago, and its scale was far greater than that of the previous two emperors. Although the funeral procession included Beijing officials of sixth rank or above, only members of the royal family and those of third rank or above who could actually enter the imperial mausoleum
of senior officials.
After the leading team arrived at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, Taoist priests led by Yuanqing Yuanbao prayed to heaven and earth. The following teams gradually squeezed forward, and the crowd became denser. The two carriages collided with each other for some reason, and the carriages were full of people.
The concubines in the palace couldn't bear the fright and screamed. He Qizhou, who was frightened by the stone, took advantage of the chaos and walked quietly into the forest of peach and willow...
"Hey, where are you going?" Someone called from behind He Qizhou. The Jinyi Guards closely monitored every mourner, especially the handymen.
"Sir, I can't hold it in anymore." He Qizhou walked towards the forest by himself. He was about half a mile away from the front line of the operation. Most of the people in the team were relatives of the emperor, so they were on tighter guard!
"Asshole! Didn't I make you pee when I left the city? Brother Du, please help me keep an eye on that kid. I'll keep an eye on that kid!" Jin Yiwei told his companions and quickly followed him, who was about to leave.
He Qizhou steps forward.
When He Qizhou saw someone following him, he walked behind a big tree as if to relieve himself. When the Jin Yiwei approached him, he suddenly took action, knocked him over with a palm, and then ran to the east like flying away!
The Jin Yiwei known as Brother Du was also alert to He Qizhou who had rashly left the team. When he saw his companion falling to the ground from a distance, he knew something was wrong and shouted: "There is an assassin! Chase after him——"
At this time, Zou Jinlin and Shi Lan were mainly responsible for the security of the funeral procession. They were at the front of the procession, supervising the practice of Yuan Qing Yuan Bao. Upon hearing the call, Zou Jinlin asked Shi Lan to go and check it in person. They were responsible for arresting He Qizhou.
Xu Xuan was still guarding the perimeter of the official residence in the inner city with heavy troops, hoping to make He Qizhou think that the city was empty after the funeral and throw himself into a trap.
After receiving the order, Shi Lan got on his horse and chased towards the scene of the accident, along with dozens of Wuchasi masters.
The pursuers on horseback soon caught up with He Qizhou, who was running along the forest path. Shi Lan felt that the figure looked very familiar. After seeing the filial hat on the other person's head being hung up by a branch, he became more sure of his judgment and used his internal strength.
, shouted: "It's He Qizhou! Chase after him!"
The cry contained internal power and spread far and wide. Almost everyone in the first half of the funeral procession could hear it. Jiang Shan reacted the fastest and shouted directly at Zou Jinlin and Jiang Xian: "You guys should go after me too!"
"Old Taoist, go and deal with that traitor!" Lu Baogen, who was practicing the method, felt anxious. He yelled and flew out of the Taoist formation. He grabbed a horse and chased after Zou Jinlin and Jiang Xian. Not long ago, Lu Baogen
Baogen has given Liu Yan a handwritten letter urging Lingxu to abdicate, and the court has also reached a consensus not to pursue the Quanzhen Taoist priests, and the emperor's imperial edict to pardon Lingtan and appoint him as the new Quanzhen priest will be issued soon.
