After hearing this, the ministers also scolded Du He for talking nonsense.
Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, I think that early yesterday morning, your Majesty's edict had arrived in Fanyang. When Lu received the edict, he must have been in panic all day long. In a few days, Lu Huaguang might come to Chang'an in person to plead guilty. By then
, the Lu family can completely surrender to the imperial court. As long as the Lu family is completely subdued, it will be a great contribution to the stability of the Tang Dynasty."
"What Mr. Wang said makes sense. Ten days ago, Du He swore in the imperial study that the Lu family would definitely rebel within ten days. Now that the ten days have passed, or even more than one day, Fan Yang is still safe. Du He is still safe.
This is purely a rumor to confuse the people. He wants to slander the Lu family as a rebel, and then use the imperial court to get rid of the Lu family. His intention is to be punished!"
"Yes, Du He is such a bastard. This is a major matter for the country, how can he be his daughter-in-law?"
"If we are fooled by Du He and really raise our troops to attack the Lu family, how many lives will be lost."
"Your Majesty, please punish Du He."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Suddenly, the topic of discussion changed from whether the Lu family would rebel to the crusade against Du He.
Li Er was in a happy mood when he saw the angry crowd, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly asked: "What are Du He doing these days?"
Hou Junji said: "According to my reports, after leaving the palace that day, Du He and His Highness the King of Shu returned to the Beggar Corps camp in Hu County and have never come out."
"Haha, Du He must be too shameless to show up again."
"Yes, if my trick is exposed, I will be embarrassed to see everyone."
"Ha ha……"
A burst of hearty laughter sounded in the main hall.
Du Ruhui stood in the crowd without saying a word.
He looked up at the ceiling and recalled Du He's words in his mind: I often feel that I am not stupid enough and therefore out of tune with the world.
In the past, Du Ruhui didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but now, he completely understood it.
At this moment, a figure ran in quickly. It was the palace instructor and the deputy commander of the secret guard, Wen Buren.
Wen Buren rushed to Li Er's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the flying pigeon in Youzhou is delivering a message."
It was the news from the secret guard.
Li Ershua stood up, took the letter from Wen Buren's hand, opened it, and took a closer look. He suddenly felt a bang, as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, he slowly raised his head and found that several ministers behind him were whispering proudly.
boom.
Li Er punched the table.
Only then did everyone realize that His Majesty Li Er had a shabby look on his face and was extremely angry.
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sweat dripping on the ground.
Li Er threw the paper from the flying pigeon to the ground and said with a gloomy face: "There is news from Youzhou that at noon yesterday, the Lu family in Fan Yang rebelled, and the imperial envoy who went to the rice paper was beheaded in public... The Lu family planned
It has been a long time. In just half a day, more than a dozen counties have been captured. Yesterday afternoon, the Lu family had mobilized troops to attack Youzhou City... My dear friends, now the entire Youzhou City, including the Youzhou area, has no defense.
"
What?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Lu family actually rebelled?
This news is like a virtuous and virtuous woman suddenly seducing a man.
It's really incredible.
After all, during this period of time, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others have analyzed the impossibility caused by the Lu family more than once. As time went by, everyone believed that the Lu family would not rebel.
…
Time goes back to yesterday.
Youzhou.
Fan Yang.
To the south of Fanyang County, the Lu family.
backyard.
A boy rushed in and shouted: "Master, the second master is back."
The second master is naturally the younger brother of Lu Huaguang, the current head of the Lu family, Lu Huayuan.
When Lu Huaguang heard this, he stood up excitedly.
Not long after, Lu Huayuan, who was tired of travel, came to him.
Lu Huayuan, a fat man, has lost two pounds of weight. He looks tired and his body is dirty.
Lu Huaguang said: "Second brother, you have suffered."
Lu Huayuan lowered his head and said: "Brother, I didn't handle the matter you told me well. However, I brought Mingyou's body back."
"Just bring it back. My descendants of the Lu family will eventually be laid to rest in their graves. We will slowly settle this debt with Du He," Lu Huaguang said.
Lu Huayuan suddenly said: "Brother, what should we do now? I seem to have killed the King of Shu. I also killed officials in Yunyang. The court will definitely not let it go."
boom.
Lu Huaguang slapped his palm on the table and said with a sneer: "I have learned the news a long time ago. From this incident, it seems that His Majesty wants to break his promise and give up his original promise to the world's great families, and is preparing to take action against the world's nobles.
, I, the Lu family, are the first to bear the brunt. If this is the case, then we don’t have to be polite. It’s better to die anyway than to lose the fish. This day has finally come. I want to let the world know that I, the Lu family, am not a fool who can be slaughtered by others. For this
One day, our Lu family has been preparing for a long time."
Lu Huayuan's eyes widened: "Brother, do you mean that we have already prepared to rebel?"
Lu Huaguang smiled and said: "Second brother, you don't have to be surprised. Prepare to rebel. This is what our ancestors of the Lu family have been doing for generations. Otherwise, how could the Lu family survive for hundreds of years? It depends on preparing for a rainy day. To be honest,
, when you went to Chang'an, I had already started to arrange it, and now, the time is ripe."
"Everything, listen to big brother."
Afterwards, all the elders of the Lu clan walked into the backyard.
No one rebelled.
At this time, a boy ran in and reported that an envoy from Chang'an City had arrived.
Lu Huaguang laughed and said: "Hahaha, God is really helping me. Today, I will cut off the head of this messenger and sacrifice it to the flag!"
In a short time, all the envoys who came to announce the decree were killed.
The Lu family issued an order to punish the thieves.
The content of the order against thieves is dazzling and the literary talent is soaring.
But the general meaning is that the current emperor was deceived by the traitor Du He and mistakenly killed Lu Mingyou. Lu Huaguang proclaimed himself King Ming and wanted to march all the way into Chang'an to get rid of Du He on behalf of the current emperor and restore peace to the world.
Any rebellion must have a reason, and it cannot be too direct.
This is a routine that has been used since ancient times.
King Ming's banner was raised, and in just half a day, more than a dozen counties responded, willing to follow King Ming to Beijing to get rid of the traitor Du He.
King Ming's army immediately surrounded Youzhou City and prepared to capture Youzhou City.
…
Return to Chang'an City.
Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
Everyone was hungry.
But no one dared to leave, and no one dared to say he was hungry.
For so many years, the wars in the Tang Dynasty were all external, and there were almost no internal wars.
Now, someone suddenly rebelled, and many people panicked.
Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "Dear lords, because the court has always believed that the Lu family would not rebel, there were no precautionary measures. The Youzhou area was in name only. Now, the Lu family is said to have 200,000 people.
