It was a few days later that the end of the New Year, and the news that the emperor had a stroke and was bedridden did not spread in the bustling Luoyang City. People took advantage of the New Year's Eve to take their wives and children, or bought some New Year's goods with their neighbors and friends.

It was almost noon, and the cold winter rain started. The rain was not heavy. Drops of water were intertwined under the eaves of the Qin Palace. In the wet courtyard, King Li Congrong of Qin brought his guards from the corridor connecting the backyard.

The Qin King, who had a bad reputation in Luoyang and had a perverse behavior, looked gloomy today, and he held his sword head and walked into the middle hall.

At this time, several people had sat down in the middle hall. When they saw the King of Qin who had made great strides in, they all stood up and bowed. These were all old friends with him, or were generals under his command, officials in the court, such as Zhu Hongzhao, Feng Yun, Heyang Jiedushi Kang Yicheng, and Yajiang Ma Chujun.

"Meet the King of Qin."

Among the few people, only Kang Yicheng and Ma Chujun were respectful, while the other two were just perfunctory.

"Sit down."

Li Congrong pressed his hand, untied the sable fur and handed it to the maid. After a few greetings with everyone, he sighed and talked about the serious matter.

"As we see the end of the year, there is no news in the palace. My father is seriously ill. As a son, he cannot be filial to the bedside and is useless to be a son. Now that I am waiting around, it is really a torment. How do you say how to act?"

When Jade asked how many people there, Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun drooped their eyelids and didn't say anything. The two of them were afraid of Li Congrong and had to come. They had never thought of any idea.

During the past few years when the King of Qin was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the World and the Shangshu Ling, he was arrogant and domineering. He was extremely cruel to the civil and military officials of the court and the people and gentry in the city. He led his cavalry to rush around the city all year round, and even had to deal with it when he hit and killed people. The court beat and scolded officials at all times, and almost no minister was willing to get close to him.

Now that Your Majesty has been ill for half a month, the Chinese civil and military officials and eunuchs in the court have no news to tell him, and he ordered Li Congrong to hit a wall in the court several times, but later he simply refused to go to the morning court. A few days later, he invited these people to the mansion.

‘Is it that I am not happy to be so happy with the ministers?’

Li Congrong poured warm tea and glanced at the four people. Seeing that they had no words, they took out a solution. They sneered on their faces, rubbed the armrests of the chair, and whispered: "If the father passed away, there was no prince, and the Chinese civil and military officials in the court did not get close to me, I would have no chance of being with the throne."

'You finally know.' Zhu Hongzhao muttered in his heart, but when Li Congrong said the following words: "It's better to give it a try instead of waiting for death!", he was shocked, and Feng Yun on the side was also frightened to his face. The two of them hurriedly got up and walked into the middle, bowing and bowing: "Your Highness, no!"

"What's wrong?"

When Li Congrong heard this, water dripped from his face. These two were Privy Councilors. If they wanted to rebel, they just needed to help from the side and they would definitely succeed.

At this time, seeing them object, I suddenly felt angry and my palms slapped on the table: "If you are alone in the court, you will die if you cannot sit in the throne! You are all my confidants, how can you not support me?"

Li Congrong knew in his heart that he was crazy and offended the palace. Even when he was the Grand Marshal of the World, he was opposed by his ministers.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, he feels a little regretful, but early the next morning, last night's regret disappeared, and he still does his own way and does whatever he wants.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is just seriously ill and bedridden. If you rebel, the ministers will inevitably resist." Zhu Hongzhao was almost kneeling down. He was in the prince's house. If he did not agree, he would be afraid that he would not be able to get out. If he agreed, if the rebellion failed, his life would be gone, and the whole family would be beheaded.

Both sides are dead. Only by dispelling the Qin King's thoughts can we think nothing has happened.

After his words came, Kang Yicheng also walked over and stood beside him.

"Your Highness, I think the two Privy Councilors are too timid. The news in the palace is blocked. Who knows your Majesty's life and death? I'm afraid it's not those eunuchs in the palace, but the sluts who want to make a mistake!"

Finally someone supports it, it's not easy.

Li Congrong felt that he met his confidant, and his face turned red with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's true, I'm very worried about this. So, what can I do with the governor Kang?"

"You can only hurry up... and wait until the other princes don't notice it, and capture Ziwei Palace!"

"It's a bit difficult."

Where is Ziwei Palace? It is a place where heavy troops are guarding. You can only take down a little bit of troops in your hands, but even ten Li Congrong can't do it.

When he shook his head, his eyes fell on Ma Chujun and he immediately had an idea.

"Ma Qing, you are the general of the personal army. If you can cooperate with the inside and outside, this matter will be possible!"

"The last time the general will die—"

Looking at Ma Chujun who bowed down, Li Congrong's eyes immediately fell on Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun. The two of them looked dead and gritted their teeth and followed the words of the general.

"That's right." Li Congrong smiled with satisfaction.

Afterwards, several people discussed the matter again and agreed. After lunch at the royal palace, they left. After leaving the palace, Zhu Hongzhao got on Kang Yicheng's carriage. The two had a strong relationship and started to get angry at this moment.

"You want to be the minister of the dragon, don't pull me!"

"If the matter fails, the whole family will die!"

"I really regret knowing you-"

In the carriage, Zhu Hongzhao spitted out the stars, pointing at Kang Yicheng opposite, cursing. The latter just closed his eyes and smiled and did not listen to the words.

"Hehe" chuckled twice, and he said, "The Privy Councilor is afraid, but you have thought that this matter will be done. You and I can be as stable as Mount Tai! The children and grandchildren in the family are endlessly rich."

Zhu Hongzhao was so angry that he couldn't speak. He stopped halfway and returned to his own carriage. Feng Yun was inside, and his face was not good-looking.

"how?"

"There is a boat, so I will do it if I don't do it." Zhu Hongzhao gritted his teeth and slapped on the short table.

Feng Yun also clenched his teeth. After a moment, he raised his face: "We can't let them do this. You and I have to think of a perfect solution! It's better..."

His voice became less and he leaned towards Zhu Hongzhao and whispered a few times.

The latter narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly.

.........

The water above the imperial city is misty.

The carriage drove into the imperial city with water vapor. Soon, it stopped at the end of Taiwei Palace. Two figures got out of the car and walked into the Zuoyemen Gate and entered Taiwei Palace. They walked quickly to Ziwei Palace and whispered to the eunuch on duty. Then they waited outside the bedroom.

After a moment, the eunuch who entered came out.

"Two Privy envoys, Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun looked at each other, crossed the threshold and walked into the bedroom. The warm fire inside drove away the chills on the two of them. Between the lampposts, there were dragon beds with curtains hanging, and the figures lying inside could be vaguely seen.

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Hongzhao called softly.

The curtain stroking, the figure inside seemed to hear words, his arms moved, and only his palms could barely lift a little, and a weak voice came from it.

"What's the matter... See me... Go closer and say... words..."

Under the gaze of the guards and eunuchs, the two of them approached the dragon bed a few steps. Zhu Hongzhao lowered his face, hesitated for a moment, and slowly raised his hands: "Your Majesty, I have something to do to start the report."

"explain......"

Zhu Hongzhao took a breath and suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty has something to do in bed... What is the change in the outside of the palace... King Qin... King Qin wants to gather his army--"

"——Planning for the Palace!"

Bang!

When the cleaning palace maid heard this, she was shocked to break a vase, and the guards around her showed horror on the eunuchs' faces.

In the curtain, Li Siyuan widened his eyes and coughed excitedly. The palace maid and eunuch who were serving him rushed forward, stroked his chest, kneaded, and wiped the corners of his mouth. A cluster of blood-stained silk handkerchiefs were taken out, which made Zhu Hongzhao and the other two frightened.

"Rebellious son..."
