Lu Yingshan had just come out of Guifu's residence when he saw a member of the Imperial Guards at home. He reported in a panic: "Lu Sijin, something serious has happened. Wan Heshun and Lu Fangxuan mobilized the soldiers guarding the gate and broke through the garden.
He's coming to our place soon."
After hearing this, Lu Yingshan complained: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on their whereabouts? How did it get to this point?"
Seeing that the soldier didn't dare to say anything, he just sighed and continued to curse: "A bunch of trash..." and then walked out of the corner door.
Lu Fangxuan and Wan Heshun walked in the front, followed by more than ten officers and soldiers, and walked to the inner courtyard of the palace. Fortunately, the guards on the wall were alert and closed the door without waiting to come forward to talk, holding the latch and locking it tightly.
Lock.
Seeing that they could not go in, Wan Lu and the others hurriedly returned to their horses and called to the guards: "What do you want to do? We are going to make a report in front of the Holy Lord. How dare we miss the official's important event? Open the door quickly!"
The guards leaned over and saluted: "This is what the superiors want, and we don't dare to make any mistakes."
"Above, which one?" Wan Heshun asked sternly, "Besides Your Majesty, can your imperial army belong to anyone else? I am the king of the county, and he is the Duke of the country. You don't know it, but you still want to stop it here. How brave are you?
!”
"But this is Lu Sijin's order after all!" The guards were not afraid of their threats at all.
"you……"
Wan Heshun was about to give them a scolding, but was suddenly pulled back by Lu Fangxuan. The latter took over the conversation and said respectfully: "Fellow soldiers, Fangxuan knows that it is not easy for you to watch the night, but we do want to see His Majesty.
, This won’t offend you. Lu Sijin doesn’t have the authority to issue such an order. Even if he did, he would probably get the wrong idea. Wan Wang opens the door and will be out in half an hour.”
The guards didn't buy it. Instead, they raised their swords and guns and pointed them at the wall: "You are not allowed to judge what the commander ordered! Don't say more, I will take a step closer and smash your legs!"
While the two groups were still confronting each other, Lu Yingshan came from the side, ordered a ladder to be set up, climbed up the courtyard wall, and bowed to Wan Heshun.
"Lu Sijin, what kind of illness did you get today?" Wan He expected that he would not give in, so he stood up and scolded, "We are not at your mercy! If our second house is really pushed into a hurry, this palace gate
Even if you hit it with your head!"
Lu Yingshan smiled and said: "If I am not sincerely opposing you, your Majesty is actually discussing matters with the ministers and does not allow outsiders to come in, so he locked the palace doors everywhere to think it was quiet. After the discussion was completed in an instant, your Majesty came out with the edict, and then you can kowtow.
Advise."
Wan Heshun rubbed the horse's bridle, glanced at Lu Fangxuan next to him, exchanged glances, pursed his lips, and softly called "drive", and the horse jumped two steps and walked to the foot of the wall.
"How about it?"
Prince Wanjun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What Si Jin said makes sense. However, all my soldiers followed me in vain. They had no place to rest, and they had to go back to guard the door. I am afraid they are not happy. How about that?"
In this way, if you let us in, we can rest for a while in the pavilion next to us and eat some tea and fruits, which will not disturb the peace. When your majesty comes, we can also ask for the music under the pavilion, so as not to offend Luan Yu."
Lu Yingshan thought that they didn't have the guts to show off their tricks, and because they were afraid of the prestige of the two princes, they didn't dare to go too far and said, "This is a more respectful statement. Let me think about it for a while."
He immediately came down from the ladder and said to several of his guards: "As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others. Although they probably won't cause trouble, you still have to be careful."
"I think this group of people is determined to be evil, so let him in, just in case something happens..."
"Don't worry about this," Lu Yingshan waved his hand, "As imperial officials, do they still want to clash with the imperial army and don't even understand the rules in the palace? Just send a few more people to stabilize the situation."
The imperial army took the order and went down, brought another group of people, stood in front of the door fully armed, and then they were willing to pull the latch and open the palace door.
Wan Lu and Wan Lu were overjoyed and urged their horses forward. Suddenly they were stopped by those fierce-looking soldiers: "Dismount!"
Both of them felt uncomfortable, so they had to get off their horses. The Imperial Guards took both horses away without saying a word: "You are not allowed to ride horses in the inner courtyard. I will return them to you when you come out."
Lu Fangxuan sneered indifferently, raised his feet and walked in. Several steel knives were immediately set up and held tightly to his chest.
"What?" He looked disdainful.
"Don't be so fucking arrogant! Search him and be honest!" A young officer looked him up and down and said angrily.
"Search." Lu Fangxuan raised his arm, and people on both sides patted his clothes down to his trouser legs, but found nothing hidden.
"Okay, go in!"
The officer pushed Lu Fangxuan away, then called Wan He to come over and searched again. Then he searched all the accompanying officers and soldiers, and they all entered the inner courtyard without a piece of white paper on them.
"How many people are there in total?"
"Counting me and Mr. Lu, there are fifteen people." Wan Heshun replied.
The Imperial Guards also suspected that he was hiding an informant, so they went to take a look in the grass outside the door before they were relieved.
Wan Lu Ergong gradually walked up to the pavilion, sat on the stone stool, sipping tea, and did not forget to observe the surrounding situation secretly - there were about ten forbidden troops in the distance, and Lu Yingshan was standing nearby, with more than ten people.
subordinates.
Wan Heshun began to mutter. He put down the tea bowl. Seeing that Lu Fangxuan was still calm and composed, he gently touched the bowl and made a low crisp sound.
With this touch, the tea splashed onto Lu Fangxuan's fingers. Only then did he come back to his senses and tilted his head while the imperial guards were not paying attention.
Wan Heshun hugged his neck and asked in his ear: "There are about thirty people here. If we want to leave by force, they are so numerous that it is really difficult to deal with them."
"Don't keep thinking about this," Lu Fangxuan replied calmly, "Think about our identity. As long as we seize the opportunity and resolutely make trouble with him, his soldiers will definitely not dare to attack us."
"That's not necessarily true..." Wan Heshun was not convinced by his words, but he still nodded and looked back at Lu Fangxuan.
Lu Fangxuan had made up his mind and knocked the tea bowl repeatedly, making a "thump thump thump" sound.
Lu Yingshan was suspicious of himself, raised his sword, and came up to question: "Master Lu, you just want to show your resentment, why bother people like this?"
Lu Fangxuan turned around and said, "I don't have any resentment at all. But you said that His Majesty ordered the palace gates to be strictly guarded. Why didn't you see His Majesty's hand on the order? You are here to execute it verbally?"
"What?" Lu Yingshan seemed to be looking for trouble, "Does this matter still require a manual edict? Can't an oral edict be enough?"
"No. This is the inner courtyard of the palace. It is related to His Majesty's safety. Don't we need to be more cautious? We were outside just now and couldn't see very clearly. But now that we have come in, we have discovered this problem. Out of sight is not believing. I think
When His Majesty discusses political matters, the reasons are prepared by the Secretary."
Lu Sijin's face was filled with anger, and his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
