Wu Chunlai continued in a low voice: "Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Some things should be broken off, otherwise there will be endless consequences. Your Highness's original intention is not to be unfilial. After Your Highness wins the throne in the future, it will not be too late to fulfill your filial piety. Besides this matter
It was not directed at His Majesty. The dosage of the pills he changed will be controlled so that His Majesty will not be in danger. Afterwards, His Highness went to detoxify the poison, and the Emperor will recover as before. His Highness does not need to blame himself for this, but
Just use this matter to achieve your goal. Your Highness, think about it carefully, if you don't make up your mind and take extraordinary measures, how can the situation be reversed? Do you want to watch King Jin inherit the throne and watch Lin Jue and others celebrate? And Your Highness, you
Where will the future go? If King Jin ascends the throne, will your Highness, King Huai, still have a way to survive? Lin Juedu knows what His Highness King Huai did to King Jin when he suppressed the rebellion. How can King Jin not know? How will he treat him?
You? Please, Your Highness, think about it carefully. Although benevolence and filial piety are important, a woman cannot be benevolent and just sit back and wait for death."
Wu Chunlai's words awakened Guo Xu like an enlightenment, especially the last few sentences, which hit the point and hit the soft spot in Guo Xu's heart. At this time, why are you still hesitating? But there is anything that can turn the situation around.
You should try every method. If Guo Mian wins the throne, and the fact that he used the power of the religious bandits to kill him will be found out, will Guo Mian still let himself live? Hesitation at this time
It's just too stupid.
"Grandfather, Mr. Wu, you are right. Those who do great things should not be constrained by trivial matters. Besides, I respect my father in my heart, and I do not mean to harm my father. I have a clear conscience, right?" Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, you have a clear conscience, you have a clear conscience." Wu Chunlai nodded and shouted.
I'm afraid this is the first time since the word "clear conscience" was coined that it has been misinterpreted in this way. In order to achieve the goal, he did not hesitate to poison his father. If this is called a clear conscience, is there such a thing as a "clear conscience" in the world?
"Guo Xu, have you made up your mind?" Lu Zhongtian asked.
Guo Xu nodded slowly and said: "I have made up my mind and will do what my grandfather planned. We can't sit still and wait for death."
Lu Zhongtian nodded slowly, stood up slowly, and suddenly knelt down on the ground towards the north palace, kowtowing to the ground. Wu Chunlai and Guo Xu didn't know what he meant, and looked at him in surprise. Before asking the reason, they listened to Lu Zhongtian slowly
spoke.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I had to do it as a last resort. I did it for the sake of the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can no longer let mediocre people take the throne. Guo Xu can be a hundred times stronger than the eldest prince. For the sake of the country and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the dawn of the country
Common people, this old minister can only be disloyal and unjust. This matter was completely planned by the old minister. If there is any punishment from God in the future, please send it to me without mercy from others. Your Majesty, you must understand the old minister’s quarrel.
Heart."
Guo Xu and Wu Chunlai looked at each other, and finally left their seats and knelt down to kowtow. Even if they had a thousand reasons to numb themselves, they all knew in their hearts that this plan was a frame-up and a treasonous act. There was always some guilt in their hearts that needed to be used.
Repentance comes as a solution. But guilt is guilt, and things still have to be done.
Lu Zhongtian stood up and sat back down, and the three of them began to discuss the details of the entire plan in detail. Such a plan must have no flaws. Once any link goes wrong, a devastating disaster will strike, and they will all die without burial.
Earth. Who would have thought that on such a cold winter night in the first lunar month, three important figures in the Zhou Dynasty gathered together and hatched an earth-shattering conspiracy, a plan that had no bottom line and was extremely vicious.
…
The serial murders in the capital were planned by Lin Jue. After Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng were buried, Lin Jue met with the two sworn brothers to discuss secretly and showed them a death list. On the list were Fifteen names, each with a black box, indicating that they all must die.
Ma Bin and Shen Tan were both surprised and speechless when they saw the list. The names on the first line of the list were Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai, Guo Xu, and Yang Jun. The leaders of the two core yamen and today's Huai His Royal Highness was among the people Lin Jue wanted to kill.
Ma Bin and Shen Tan were speechless. Lin felt that he wanted to kill all the people involved in the death of Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng in order to eliminate his hatred. Shen Tan asked tentatively. When asked if Lin Jue had any specific plans, Lin Jue shook his head speechlessly.
Shen Tan and Ma Bin had to remind Lin Jue that the top four people were not easy to obtain. There were many experts around Lu Zhongtian. Over the years, he had recruited many martial arts masters as guards in the mansion. There is no chance of success at all. Let alone Yang Jun. Yang Jun has a guard camp beside him, all of which he has selected from thousands of people. They are tall and powerful, and they come and go like the wind. Let alone assassinate, they just lead the soldiers and horses. They may not be able to succeed in encirclement and killing. Guo Xu, the king of Huai, is a prince, and there are thousands of guards in the palace, so there is no possibility of success. Wu Chunlai is the deputy prime minister anyway, and there are many guards around him, so it is not easy to succeed. Both of them believe that if they want to assassinate these four Man, I'm afraid it's an impossible idea.
Of course, Lin Jue knew the difficulty of this. He told Ma Bin and Shen Tan that this was his goal. No matter what method he used, he would kill them to avenge Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengshu. He was not attacked. When anger gets to his head, he will never make an impulsive move rashly. He will look for opportunities. The purpose of inviting them here is actually for those people below the list. Listed below are more than ten Ordinance Department officials including Liu Xiding and others. Not to mention Liu Xiding, the other officials were also traitors who turned against the enemy and framed the two masters Yan Fang. Lin Jue wanted to attack them first.
With Lin Jue's own strength, it was actually very easy to kill them, but Lin Jue didn't want to expose his flaws. So he invited Ma Bin and Shen Tan here because he wanted Ma Bin to find out for him the residence and daily behavior of these people. Please Shen Tanlai gave him two portraits of Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru and asked him to make a dozen masks similar to the two adults within three days.
Lin Jue was never a person who acted blindly. Although he was sometimes a little impatient and rash, in this matter, he was not carried away by anger and sadness. His purpose in doing this was to fake the scene where the ghost claimed his life. Confusing the public. Of course, Lin Jue is not stupid enough to think that everyone will believe in ghosts asking for their lives. He knows that as soon as these people die, he will be the first suspect and will be closely watched. But so At the very least, it would make them panic and doubtful, causing chaos and fear. It would frighten and worry all the court officials who had participated in slandering the two masters Yan Fang. Although most of them were not on Lin Jue's death list, Lin Jue would not make it easy for them. , to make them fearful all day long, afraid to walk in dark places, and unable to sleep peacefully at night.
To put it simply, Lin Jue wants to kill people not only to avenge Mr. Fang and Yan Zhengsheng, but also to create chaos. He wants to attract the attention of Lu Zhongtian and others to himself, so that they have no time to care about other things. While he can find a way to search Some evidence completely convinced Guo Chong to believe that during the Qingjiao rebellion, the actions of Yang Jun, Guo Xu and others were treacherous, shameless and bottomless. As long as Guo Chong believed this, once Guo Mian was made the prince, Lu Zhongtian Yang Jun, Guo Xu and others will completely fail.
Of course, Ma Bin and Shen Tan could not refuse Lin Jue's request. In fact, they took the initiative to help Lin Jue deal with these people. But Lin Jue did not agree to them. He did not want to drag Ma Bin and Shen Tan into the water yet. What he needed was
With the help of intelligence, he has to do other things by himself.
Ma Bin spent three days checking out the residences of more than ten Ordinance Department officials on the list. Liu Xiding's murder that night was actually not part of the plan. Lin Jue originally planned to act at the same time, killing Liu Xiding and Liu Xiding.
Others were slaughtered on the same night. But according to Liu Xiding's activities in the first two days of the New Year, he had been haunting the Prime Minister's Mansion and Wu Chunlai's Mansion and never returned home. If he continued to be like this in the next few days, Lin Jue could not wait any longer.
Go down.
Therefore, when Liu Xiding went to Xichun Tower that day and the news was delivered to Lin Jue, Lin Jue decisively decided to take action and kill the shameless whistleblower first. That night, Lin Jue and Bai Bing sneaked into the room from behind the building.
, although the back wall of the two-story building was smooth, it was not too difficult for Bai Bing. Bai Bing stood on the window sill and used a rope to pull Lin Jue up. The two entered the house through the window, and the two of them entered the house through the window.
The happy leader Liu Xiding. The girl in the room happens to be a witness, otherwise Lin Jue would have to find a way to leave evidence that it was the ghosts of Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru who came to claim their lives.
Of course, killing Liu Xiding first would alert others, and would also make Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others focus on him. In fact, Lin Jue did not personally participate in the action the next night, but Sun Dayong led
What happened in the nursing home. In order to confuse the public, Lin Jue had to take his wives and concubines to the street to watch the lanterns in a high profile, exposing himself to the eyes of the spies sent by Wu Chunlai and others to monitor. Of course Lin Jue would not think this was the case.
The alibi would make Wu Chunlai believe that he was not responsible for the death that night, and that he was just using it to cover up the smooth progress of the operation.
In fact, killing Liu Xiding first did hinder the operation. Three of the eleven people who were originally meant to be killed slipped through the net. The brothers who went to kill Liu Xiding missed the target. The three shrewd officials learned that Liu Xiding had been killed.
After that, they decisively chose to move out and hide, and escaped with their lives. The remaining eight people were beheaded in the same way of kneeling down to apologize.
