A large number of officers and soldiers surrounded the Xuanwang Mansion, several layers inside and out, and the pikemen, sword and shield soldiers and archers smashed open the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion, which was not very imposing, and poured into the palace.

When the crown prince Li Shi died, Li Yu was less than ten years old, but at that time he already remembered, everyone knew that Li Shi was hit by an arrow on the battlefield in the same year, and died of serious injuries after escaping back to Xingyang, but some people think that Zhao Ziliang deliberately sent the prince Li Shi to the battlefield, which caused Li Shi to be seriously injured and died, and these people instilled this idea into Li Xu, so Li Yu has always hated Zhao Ziliang, but as he gets older, he feels more and more that it is almost impossible for him to move Zhao Ziliang, But he still thought of setting up a secret organization to develop his power, and he also seized the historical opportunity of this special period when the imperial power was seriously weakened, which caused serious dissatisfaction among the royal clans, princes and princes, so that he could develop his organization to an unimaginable point in a short period of time.

An old eunuch knocked on the door and walked into the room, and saw Li Yu sitting in front of the mirror, a maid was dressing him, the old eunuch put the dust on his arm, stepped forward and bowed, and reported in a humble tone: "Lord Wang, they have arrived!" ”

Li Yu's face was calm, he looked at himself in the mirror, and asked, "Who is the leader?" ”

The old eunuch replied: "Umeda in the Imperial History of the Imperial Observatory!" ”

Li Yu said with a gloomy expression: "It's because I'm too anxious and impulsive, I'm still too young after all!" If I endure it for a few more years, when our forces develop strong enough in the dark, it will be easy to overthrow Zhao Ziliang, and it will be too late to say anything now! ”

The old eunuch said: "Lord, it's not too late, although we failed this time, but we still have a chance, the prince is still young, there is still a long way to go, how can we be discouraged?" ”

Li Yu turned his head to look at the old eunuch: "Peng Banban, don't comfort me, a large number of officers and soldiers have already arrived outside, I have already planted my wings and is unable to fly, one wrong move, I will lose all the plates!" ”

"Lord Wang, the old slave asked you to see someone, and you will know it after you have seen it!" After the old eunuch finished speaking, he put the dust under his arm and patted his hands.

I saw a young man wearing a royal robe walking in from the outside, wearing a golden crown, his body shape and appearance were very similar to Li Xu, this person approached the room and bowed to Li Yu and said: "This king Li Xu, meet the prince!" ”

Li Yu, who was sitting in front of the dresser, saw this person's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen a ghost, he was stunned and pointed at this person and asked the old eunuch: "Is this ······ Peng Banban, what is this? ”

The old eunuch said: "Lord Wang, this is an orphan adopted by the old slave ten years ago, called Liu Yiren, he is loyal to the old slave, from now on, he is Xuanwang Li Yu!" From now on, the prince needs to stay incognito and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback! Lord, the old slave has already arranged everything in the palace, and the servants and maids in the palace are all people who have received the favor of the prince, and they will die generously, and only the three of us know that the prince is still alive in the world! Lord, it's not early, please come with the old slave, we need to hide for a while, and then wait for the opportunity to get out of the city! ”

Fake Li Yu stayed in the room, Li Yu and the personal maid Xiao Yao followed the old eunuch to a room next to him, the old eunuch didn't know what mechanism he pressed, the wall suddenly moved away, and a door appeared in front of him, under the leadership of the old eunuch, the three of them approached the door in turn, and then the wall slowly moved back to its original position, and he couldn't see that there was a mechanism on this wall.

Not long after the three of them hid in the secret room, Umeda Huang broke into the room where the fake Li Yu was with the fast arresters and soldiers, and Li Yan, who was sitting in front of the dresser, turned around and faced Umeda and the others at the door, with no expression on his face, "Master Mei, you are finally here, this king has been waiting for a long time!" ”

The muscles on Umeda's face trembled a few times, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Someone ······ come."

"Wait, Mei-sama!" Xuan Eighteen came from behind and held down Umeda Mi, walked to his side, and found that although Li Yu was calm on the surface, there was still fear in his eyes, only people who were bent on death would face death calmly, and at this point, there was fear and fear in Li Chen's eyes, which seemed to be a little abnormal, after all, Li Yu should understand that his end was doomed.

At this time, Li Yu stood up, took out a small porcelain bottle from the sleeve of the other hand with one hand and poured it into his mouth, Xuan 18 and Umeda were shocked, and immediately shouted: "Quick, stop him!" ”

The soldiers poured into the room to control Li Xu, but it was too late, Li Yu had already swallowed the pill in the small porcelain bottle into his stomach, and Umeda shouted: "Quickly pull it out, pull out the medicine!" ”

Although Xuan 18 was a little panicked, he was much calmer than Umeda Mi, and he immediately ordered: "Come on, go to the toilet to get some stool and urine, and then go get some soapy water, and send someone to ask the imperial doctor to come over!" ”

Li Yu was just a young man after all, although he was ready to die and swallowed the pill, but when he really faced death, he was still scared and frightened, and his instinct to survive made him cooperate with the officials to treat him.

A basin of feces and urine was brought over by a catcher, and under the command of Xuan Eighteen, the catcher quickly stuffed a spoonful of stool into Li Yu's mouth, where can Li Yu eat, and began to vomit heavily, and the pill he ate was quickly vomited out, but the pill had been partially melted by the body fluids.

Xuan Eighteen also instructed the catchers to pour soapy water into Li Xu, a large basin of soapy water kept pouring into Li Xu's stomach, Li Yu kept vomiting, and after nearly half an hour, Li Yu vomited so much that his face was pale and his body was paralyzed like mud.

The Imperial Physician, led by a soldier, approached the room and immediately ordered, "Open all the windows quickly, and let out all the irrelevant people!" ”

After the window was opened, and there were only a few people left in the room, the wind blew in, and the smell in the room was blown away a lot, and the air was much better, the imperial doctor checked Li Chen's situation, first rolled his eyelids, and then called his pulse, and then took the pill that Li Yu spit out and looked at it and smelled it, and immediately said to Umeda and Xuan Eighteen: "The two adults use the method very timely, there should be only a small amount of medicine absorbed into the body, the old man prescribes a prescription to decoction medicine, and gives King Xuan a few pairs of detoxification, and it should be fine in two or three days!" ”

Xuan Eighteen arched his hand and said, "Then it's too troublesome!" ”

Umeda pulled Xuan 18 aside and asked, "Lord Xuan, do you think you should escort King Xuan to the Heavenly Prison or stay here for treatment?" ”

Xuan 18 said: "I think let's stay here for the time being, send people to guard it strictly, King Xuan is still unconscious after all, if something happens to him in the prison, you and I can't afford it!" Let's not talk about the severity of his crime, that's the matter above, we just need to promise not to let him have an accident before the decision is made, if the above hasn't decided how to deal with him and let him have an accident, you and I will be in big trouble! ”

Umeda nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Xuan is very worried, so let's do it, and then escort him to the prison after he is fine!" ”

Five days later, Umeda came to the Regent's Mansion to report to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, Li Yu has recovered!" But we haven't dug up all the members of his organization yet, and it's going to take some time! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Umeda replied, "The time is uncertain, after all, there are many people in various places, and we need to send fast horses to arrest and interrogate them, and catch the others along the lines!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Don't use these words that can't be determined to prevaricate Lonely, Lone doesn't look at the process, as long as the result!" ”

Next to him, Xuan Eighteen stood up and arched his hand: "King, although we have arrested many people along the clues, many people refuse to admit their guilt, especially a considerable number of clan princes and princes!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Umeda and asked, "Lord Mei, these people refuse to admit their guilt, can you make them confess?" ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Umeda's forehead, he remembered the book that Zhao Ziliang gave him when he first summoned him - "Luo Weaving Sutra", it seems that the master in front of him had already hinted at him, but at that time the case was still unclear, he didn't understand what Zhao Ziliang meant, and now he finally understood Zhao Ziliang's original intention.

If he does what Zhao Ziliang wants, then he will soon become a cool official who is famous all over the world, and he will be scolded by some defenders to the point of being indecent, but if he doesn't do what Zhao Ziliang wants, then ······ What will this Lord do to him? Umeda didn't dare to imagine it.

"Minister······ Do your best! ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, you go down!" ”

After Umeda left, Lu Zhen stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "King, it seems that this Lord Mei seems to be lacking in confidence!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The law is ruthless, and everyone should be treated equally, the Yushitai is a law enforcement yamen, and the officials in charge of the Yushitai should be iron-faced and selfless, if the officials are emotional and act according to human feelings, how can the law be majestic?" Since this Lord Mei is not this kind of iron-faced and selfless person, let's replace it with an iron-faced and selfless person! Spread the will of the orphan, move the imperial history of Cheng Umeda to the governor of Weizhou, and the affairs of the imperial history platform will be temporarily taken over by the imperial history of Cheng Tian Jinghei! Prime Minister Lu Qi came to see Lonely! ”

"Yes!"

The officials of the regent palace all know that Umeda is finished, after the official reform, the prefectures have canceled the official position of the thorn history, and the highest governor of the state is the governor, but the power is not as good as the thorn history, although the imperial history of Zhongcheng and the governor of Weizhou are all under the four levels, but from the court to the local level is obviously demeaningful, and then those who smell it will definitely attack Umeda like a shark, and what awaits him seems to be doomed.

Soon, Lu Qi received a notice and quickly rushed over, "The minister greets the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Lu Qi, the rebellion is almost clear now, and a large number of people have been arrested, but many of them refuse to admit their guilt, and many of them are princes and princes of the royal family, what do you think should be done?" ”

Lu Qi may not be qualified to be the prime minister, but this person is the best at figuring out the thoughts of the superiors, and at this point, this person is no worse than Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and Yuan Zai and others, he immediately guessed Zhao Ziliang's thoughts, otherwise Zhao Ziliang would not have sent someone to find him.

On the issue of dealing with all kinds of bad practices in the officialdom today, he has left a bad impression in front of Zhao Ziliang, which he quickly figured out after that court meeting, these days he has been anxious, has been trying to find a way to remedy, but he has not thought of a way, now he immediately realized that this is an opportunity to regain Zhao Ziliang's trust, he immediately arched his hand and said: "King, these people must be lucky, want to resist to the end, the minister thinks that it is necessary to use harsh punishment, and they can't make them submit and confess their guilt with their mouths!" In addition, these are the princes and princes of the clan, their status is higher, and the investigation and interrogation of the Yushitai seems to be too low-level, if the king allows, the ministers will ask themselves to take charge of the case, and they will definitely be convinced to admit their guilt, and this case of rebellion will be turned into an iron case, so that no one in the world can say it! ”

Zhao Ziliang seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Qi's attitude, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Lu Qing's words are very lonely, this case will be tried by the Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple, and Lu Qing will be the chief judge!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Qi knows very well that Zhao Ziliang needs a cool official to eradicate these rebellious clan princes and princes, even if he doesn't do it, there will definitely be other people to do this villain, and he will never have a chance to regain Zhao Ziliang's trust, once he loses the favor of the superior as an official in the court, he will soon lose power, and then the former political enemies will definitely put him to death, if he wants to maintain power, he can only hug Zhao Ziliang's thigh, even if he becomes a vicious dog that bites people indiscriminately.
