A drunken man dressed as a soldier, holding a shining sword in his hand, moved away from Han Wei's chest and pointed at the people at the gambling table: "You unscrupulous people think that I am deaf! How dare you speak out against taboos in public?

if!"

The waiter at the bank said with a smile: "Say, what can you do to us!"

The drunk man patted his chest and said: "Who do you think I am? I am a loyal and righteous man personally appointed by the late emperor. I specialize in killing traitors and traitors. If you are afraid, kowtow to grandpa and spare your life!"

A gambler said: "We are just ordinary people. Every time we cause trouble, you Qiu Ba will take the lead. If you want to kill someone, go to the military camp and kill them. Don't show off your authority here!"

"Then I will use you to scare the monkeys!"

The drunkard said that he was about to stab the gambler, but he stumbled and fell to the ground, causing everyone to laugh. The waiter immediately snatched his knife and shouted: "Everyone, throw this drunkard out, so as not to cause trouble."

Our interest."

Seven or eight gamblers picked up the drunkard with all their hands and feet, and when they got to the door, they shouted in unison: "One, two, three, throw it away!"

The drunk man exclaimed and fell to the ground. He rolled several times before he stopped. Han Wei said to the gamblers: "You are brave, and you are not afraid that he will bring his robe to deal with you."

The man sitting in the village smiled and said: "I'm afraid this gentleman doesn't know the origin of the soldier just now. This man's name is Wang Erbian. Because he assassinated the rebellious general in front of the battle, the late emperor made him a loyal and righteous man. What's the deal?"

Little money.

It's a pity that his tail has been raised to the sky, and he has almost offended all his colleagues around him in the past two years. Now that the late emperor has passed away, there is no one to support him, and Shangguan always puts on small shoes for him.

Now he is a useless drunkard, there is nothing to be afraid of! Mr. Lang, I am going to open again here, do you want to place another bet?"

"No more betting! Let's go!" Han Wei waved his hand and turned around to leave the gambling table. When he reached the door, he saw Wang Erbian standing up with strength. A leaving gambler was about to lean over to help him up. Wang Erbian

But he grabbed the man's arm and said, "Shi San, it's you! What a coincidence! Help me up quickly, and come with us to settle the score with those bastards in the house."

"You...you have the wrong person!" The gambler took off Wang Erbian's hand in a slight panic and left in a hurry.

Wang Erbian couldn't help but cursed: "What a Shi San, you ungrateful bitch! When you entered Captain Zhao's house, you didn't even recognize your old brother!"

Hearing the words "Captain Zhao", Han Wei immediately trembled. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the door leading to the backyard of the gambling stall, and saw the waiter picking down a yellow leather lantern.

Han Wei moved his feet and quickly followed up with the gambler. Seeing that he was about to leave Liuhe Bay, he turned around and plunged into the alley. Han Wei ran after him, but stopped immediately as soon as he entered the alley.

.

A bright knife tip was pressed against his neck. If he took a step further, his throat would be pierced. The dark figure behind the knife tip shouted: "What do you want to do with me?"

"Hero! Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong!" Han Wei hesitated and said, "Xiao Ke was just in a hurry and wanted to pee in this alley!"

"Humph! Who are you lying to?" Shi San said, then raised his kick and kicked Han Wei directly in the crook of the leg. Han Wei screamed and rolled on the ground holding his legs. When he stood up holding on to the wall, Shi San

There was no trace of him in the early morning.

Han Wei limped out of the alley, took out a piece of silver and hired a coolie at the dock to carry him back home. Who knew that Han Tong hadn't returned home yet? He prepared a carriage and horses and rushed to the guard Ma Busi.

Unexpectedly, it came to nothing again.

Hearing that Han Tong was summoned to the palace? There were also three ministers who went with him. Han Wei couldn't help but look frightened and said: "Is Zhao Kuangyin planning to launch a palace coup?"

Han Wei is thinking too much? At this moment, Han Tong is sitting by the warm brazier in the back pavilion, holding a teacup and drinking tea. However, the expression on his face is not relaxed. Fan Zhi, Wang Pu (and Wang Pu) who are sitting opposite him are

Park (not the same person), Wei Renpu, also had a sad look on his face.

Old Mutou said: "You guys don't just sit around drinking tea, you'd better make up your mind quickly."

Fu Liying, who was sitting next to the young emperor, reprimanded: "The four of you are the late emperor's servants. Old Mu is not allowed to be rude. This matter is really difficult to handle."

Fan Zhidao: "What the Queen Mother said is that this matter is really difficult to handle? It needs to be discussed in the long term!"

What worries everyone is the prophecy that "the emperor will be crowned by inspection." Today, this prophecy began to be circulated in every busy corner of Tokyo from the morning, and by evening it was almost universally known throughout the city.

If neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor knew about such a sensitive matter, Old Mutou could commit suicide and apologize. When it was about to be released from office, he immediately summoned several other Tuogu ministers except Zhao Kuangyin to discuss countermeasures.

But the matter is not easy to handle. The four of them have drank tea for several days and have not come up with a reliable idea. The reason why it is difficult to handle is because no matter how you deal with it, you have to bear great risks.

If Zhao Kuangyin is still asked to lead the army despite the rumors, he will bear the risk of Zhao Kuangyin rebelling and seizing power; it would be simple to kill Zhao Kuangyin, because now no one can be sure whether this prophecy was spread by someone sent by Zhao Kuangyin, and not only did he fall into the trap of others,

, which also gave the soldiers an excuse to cause rebellion, and the mastermind behind the scenes could use it for his own purposes and usurp the throne with just a shout.

Is it possible to replace Zhao Kuangyin, the general who commanded the army? If Zhao Kuangyin is loyal and loyal, he will at most suffer some grievances without causing any trouble; if he has evil intentions, then he knows that he has completely lost trust and will be punished sooner or later, so what?

If someone can be provoked and killed, he will inevitably start a mutiny.

In short, no matter what we do, there is no foolproof plan. Even though our husbands are usually full of clever ideas, they have no idea at this moment. They all look sad and don't know what to do.

Old Mutou said: "Xianggong Fan, the army is about to go out the day after tomorrow. There is no time for us to make long-term plans."

Han Tong and Lao Mu Tou were old acquaintances and were not polite to him, "If you have a perfect idea, come up with one!"

When Old Mutou heard that he was speechless, he patted his thigh and said, "If I have an idea, I'll do it as my husband." Then he turned and squatted on the ground and stopped talking.

Wei Renpu said: "Queen Mother, we are still not sure who is causing trouble at this moment. It would be bad if we act rashly."

Fu Liying nodded and said: "The Ai family understands, but we can't just let him lead the army on the expedition. I heard that such prophecies were made when the late emperor was on the northern expedition. For this reason, the late emperor relieved Zhang Yongde from the official post of inspection.

Let him out of Beijing.

The late Emperor was so cautious. I, an orphan and a widower, cannot just let Lieutenant Zhao lead the army. If something unexpected happens, how can I live up to the late Emperor? The four of you are the late Emperor's ministers. It is up to you to make a reliable decision at this critical moment.

"

The little emperor, who had been frowning and silent, suddenly said: "I have trusted Lieutenant Zhao, but this matter is related to the survival of the Zhou Dynasty, so I have to be careful. Since you dear friends have no idea, I

I have an idea!"

The princes, who usually didn't want to listen to the little emperor's questions in the court, immediately got excited and asked: "What's your Majesty's idea?"

"What I mean is to see if Lieutenant Zhao is so loyal!"

The eyes of several ministers immediately lit up, "Your Majesty's wonderful plan, how can you try it?"
