Wang Jingchong bowed to him and entered the secret room. Liu Chengyou's reaction seemed a little strange. He only furrowed his brows slightly and then returned to his normal state.
Wang Jingchong's shocking words failed to shock Liu Chengyou, which made him a little surprised. Although he was surprised, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. His actions after careful consideration seemed to be a bit hit by a wall.
"Wang Jingchong, Wang Jingchong, I have to say, I underestimate you!" Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Jingchong kneeling in the hall with cold eyes and said, "Do you know who the Prince of Julu County is?"
The coldness in Liu Chengyou's tone was a bit colder than the cold winter moon. Wang Jingchong made no move, just buried his head and replied in a calm and determined tone: "I know!"
"Since you know it, why do you dare to say such evil words to damage my brotherhood?" Liu Chengyou's expression was sharp and stern, and he asked sternly: "How serious are you!"
Faced with the emperor's angry denunciation, Wang Jingchong did not panic, and was not surprised but happy. Liu Chengyou only scolded Liu Chengyun, but did not say anything to Yang Bin. Although it was vague, it was an obvious signal to Wang Jingchong. .
After silently brewing for a while, Wang Jingchong told with tears: "Your Majesty is patrolling the north, staying away from the capital, and protecting a few followers. His disobedience has caused evil intentions. Something bad is coming, the situation is dangerous, and I am determined to die to warn you. Your Majesty If we have made preparations in advance, we can avoid minor disasters and eliminate major dangers. Even if my body is shattered to pieces, I will have no regrets. What's more, I would like to advise you. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
After saying this, Wang Jingchong touched his head to the ground again, waiting for Liu Chengyou's reaction in a very humble gesture of submission.
After quietly watching Wang Jingchong's performance, Liu Chengyou remained silent for a long time. The expression on his stern face was as untroubled as his heart, but with a little more emotion.
A slight chill seeped from his forehead and rushed to his heart. Under Liu Chengyou's long and scrutinizing gaze, Wang Jingchong became a little nervous. He wanted to speak and say something more, but he could no longer brew the full emotions he had before.
After a long time, it seemed that Liu Chengyou had thought enough, and the gentle flick of his sleeves was particularly obvious in the silent hall. Liu Chengyou asked directly in an unusually calm tone: "Tell me, how Yang Bin plans to rebel, and how to do it." Rebel?"
From Liu Chengyou's tone, there was no emotion at all, as if it was a trivial matter for a high-ranking prime minister or a great minister of the Han Dynasty to collude with the clan kings and commit treason.
However, after hearing his words, Wang Jingchong slowly relaxed, and his heart dropped. He knew that he had made the right bet this time.
Under the emperor's gaze, Wang Jingchong cheered up and revealed Yang Bin's treason plan. The description was very detailed, how to prepare, how to contact, when, and how many people he would meet with the rebels...
It was a bit too detailed, and he understood it clearly, as if he was involved in the plan from beginning to end.
But now, can Wang Jingchong be called Yang Bin's confidant? How dare Yang Bin trust him with such a confidential matter? Liu Chengyou listened and looked at Wang Jingchong's eyes with a little amusement.
"...Your Majesty, please take precautions early and take measures quickly, otherwise once the rebels break out, there will be chaos!"
After Wang Jingchong finished his report, Liu Chengyou finally showed a look of indignation on his face. He slapped the table and said angrily: "I have tolerated him a lot since he was the founding father of the country, a trusted minister of the great ancestor, and the prime minister of the two dynasties. I never thought that he would dare to have such a rebellious heart, hum..."
The low and cold snort made Wang Jingchong feel happy.
"Get up and answer!" With a turn of his eyes, Liu Chengyou gave Wang Jingchong, who was still kneeling, a "grace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
With a calm face, Liu Chengyou thought for a while and then directly ordered: "Pass on Li Shaoyou, Gao Huaide, and Zhao Kuangyin!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun, who was waiting at the side and heard the secret, did not dare to hesitate at all and responded nervously to the summons.
There were only two people left in the hall. Liu Chengyou once again focused his attention on Wang Jingchong. His reserved standing posture and respectful expression allowed the emperor to look at him without any abnormalities...
He didn't speak anymore, but Liu Chengyou felt strange in his heart.
This person once again refreshed Liu Chengyou's understanding of him. His scheming was astonishing. However, it should be easier to use such a person, Liu Chengyou thought.
"The official, the Prince of Julu County has asked to see you. He has something urgent to report!" Zhang Dejun, who came back to the hall, looked at Liu Chengyou carefully and said.
"Oh? There are so many urgent things tonight!" Liu Chengyou was a little surprised.
Under this, Wang Jingchong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He felt Liu Chengyou's eyes glance over and quickly returned to his normal state.
"Wang Qing thinks that Prince Julu has something urgent to report here?" Liu Chengyou asked.
After hearing the question, Wang Jingchong's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression was suppressed, and his body stood still for a while as if suspended, and then he said: "I forgive my ignorance."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Liu Chengyou straightened his back slightly: "Xuan!"
Seeing this, Wang Jingchong asked for instructions in a hesitant tone in a low voice: "My lord, should I avoid it?"
"No need!" Liu Chengyou said calmly: "What you just said about Yang Bin's hookup with the Julu County Prince was not very clear. Now that he is here in person, I can inquire about it. What do you think?"
"Very good...very good..." After hearing this, Wang Jingchong subconsciously agreed, but there was a trace of unnoticeable concern in his downcast face.
"Brother Yun, what are you doing here?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Liu Chengyun who came in to pay an audience.
Compared with before, Liu Chengyou's tone was a little cold and lacked the enthusiasm. Liu Chengyun felt it and was slightly surprised, but he seemed to be in a hurry and had no time to think about it. He quickly took out the seal from his pocket Letter: "Officials, something big happened in Longgang. Please make preparations as soon as possible."
When the emperor took the secret letter and read it, Liu Chengyun's face softened and he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but look at Wang Jingchong who was standing in the hall. He looked up and down a few times. Although he was very curious, he didn't recognize him.
The letter Liu Chengyun submitted did not have many words, but it was shocking enough and the content was straightforward. The main idea was that Prime Minister Yang Bing asked Liu Chengyun to raise troops from Xingzhou and work together with him to depose Liu Chengyou...
It looks very casual and slightly absurd.
Picking up the secret letter and shaking it in his hand, Liu Chengyou curled his lips slightly and asked Liu Chengyun: "Where does this letter come from?"
Liu Chengyun immediately recounted the situation of receiving the letter.
"Brother Yun, Yang Xiang invites you, what night are you coming?" A calm smile appeared on his face, and Liu Chengyou asked a heart-wrenching question.
Shocked, Liu Chengyun immediately spoke excitedly and cursed: "The old thief has evil intentions, wants to commit rebellion, and also wants to bewitch me. It is simply a wishful thinking. Your Majesty, the situation is urgent. Please personally lead people to arrest Yang Bin. If it is too late, once If you raise an issue, you may cause trouble!"
In Liu Chengyun's urgent words, there was clearly an urgent intention to prove his innocence, and Liu Chengyou felt it.
"If the matter is not confidential, how can it be accomplished?" Liu Chengyou raised his hand as he asked and looked very calm.
Let Liu and Wang wait until Li Shaoyou, Gao, and Zhao were ordered to arrive. Liu Chengyou raised his index finger lightly, and without thinking, directly ordered the three people who were still confused: "Li Shaoyou, Zhao Kuangyin, you two lead the imperial guards." Ban Zhi, together with Wang Shilang, go to Yang Fan’s residence!"
After a pause, Liu Chengyou turned to ask Liu Chengyun: "How many people are there in the Longgang Town Army?"
He couldn't help but shake the hand under his sleeve, and Liu Chengyun responded: "There are more than 2,000 people in five battalions."
"Gao Huaide!" Liu Chengyou's tone turned solemn, and he gave the order in a manner that left no room for doubt: "Send the order to impose martial law in the city. You personally lead a thousand soldiers to take over the Xingzhou town army!"
