The second secretary returned to the capital and announced this great news to the people.

The two expected that the Doctor and the people would cheer and flock to congratulate them on the elimination of the tyrant and his accomplices; Then the two could execute Li Gong "at the strong demand of the people" - so that they could get rid of the charge of treason and murder.

Surprisingly, however, only two of their henchmen and clansmen came to the street with stiff smiles to greet them, while the capital was as silent as death; The people of the country are closed, and everyone is afraid that the peaceful life that has just been restored will be bloody again.

It's like putting on a big show, and all you can see is the childcare that has been arranged, but there is no real audience.

The two were reluctant and decided to pull important people into the plan to commit a joint crime, so that the people of the country would side with them.

Zhongxingyan believed that Shi Kuo was undoubtedly the most hated of Li Gong, so he first lobbied Shi Kuo in an attempt to persuade him and the two to share the honor of overthrowing the tyrant and enjoy the spoils of war. But Shi Kuo saw through their tricks and said that he was filial and inconvenient to show up.

The Bank of China came out in a huff and turned around to lobby his cousin Zhifu; But Zhigang disappeared without a trace, and even his family didn't know where he had gone.

In the end, only Han Ju was left, and Luan Shu decided to visit him in person. Han Ju directly rejected his request: "Back then, I was fostered in Zhao Meng's house, and Zhuang Ji framed the Zhao family, but I was able to disobey the king's order and did not mobilize clan A to attack the Zhao family. All of this is known to the Master. The ancients said: 'Kill the old cow Mo Zhi dare to corpse (dare not slaughter the old cow for others)', let alone the king of a country? You can't serve the king, and you can't persuade me to do it. ”

The last hope of wooing the minister was dashed, and the second secretary was almost squeezed out of breath by the difficult situation. The huge pressure made Zhongxingyan start to lose heart, and he shouted: "Since Han Ju doesn't dare to kill the old cow, I will go and kill the old cow Han Ju!" ”

Luan Shu stopped him and said, "If you don't want to die without a place to be buried, don't attack Han Ju; His popularity is not comparable to that of you and me. ”

The two finally regretted why they didn't kill Jin Ligong at that time, so that now they are in a dilemma. As time passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for the two men: domestic dissatisfaction with the atrocities of the second secretary had turned into sympathy for Jin Ligong. Because people hate Sanhe more than Li Gong (Li Gong is just disturbing the people), most of the Chinese people have an attitude of approval when Li Gong eradicates Sanhe. And now, the Jin people have regarded Erqing as a more shameless figure than Sanhe.

Luan Shu's last move turned out to be to plead with Xu Tong. He proposed that if Xu Tong could kill Li Gong, he could restore his status, or give him a large fortune, and he could go to any country he wanted.

Xu Tong contemptuously refused: "Master's plea for his enemies and prisoners in such a low voice is detrimental to Master's reputation and status as a king. I hate the Hao family because I want to regain the throne of my ancestors, and I kidnap the master and the uncle of Zhongxing to eradicate the root cause of the office, and these are all things I sincerely do.

"I am loyal to the prince, and I will never be charged with disloyalty for the sake of stealing my life. I believe that what the Master promised will be fulfilled. But as a sworn enemy of the Master, I would rather let you bear the infamy of killing the king; And I can be praised for loyalty. ”

On the last day of the twelfth month of the leap month, Luan Shu and the Bank of China killed Xu Tong.

A few days later, when nothing worked, Luan Shu had no choice but to send Cheng to execute Jin Ligong.

Li Gong felt that today's dishes were more sumptuous than ever, and there was even a pot of wine, so he knew that the time had come. He ate a good meal, but he didn't touch a drop of wine. He felt a little high in his blood lipids after a full meal, and then took a nap.

When Jin Ligong woke up, Cheng slipped in. He said, "I'm here to see you on your way, and if you have any last words, say it to me!" ”

Li Gong said: "Luan Shu is so bold, why doesn't he do it himself?" But send an inferior person to take the blame? You should know what the crime of killing a king is, right? ”

Cheng Hua said: "My monarch is Luan Bo, not you." It's my responsibility to act for Luan. ”

Li Gong said, "Then go back and tell them that I will go to God and accuse the two traitors of their crimes, and that they should be prepared to suffer the curse of heaven." ”

Cheng Hua said: "I'm afraid you don't have this chance, because Sanhe is also accusing you in the sky!" Don't move, I'll do it quickly. ”

Cheng Slip drew his sword; Li Gong also stood up, staring at the other party with his usual sharp gaze and took the initiative to meet him. Li Gong is physically strong and skilled in martial arts, and he will never give in easily. Cheng Slippery was expressionless and unmoved, swinging his sword and slashing, and the two became a ball in a blink of an eye. Luan Shu was waiting outside the door.

There were huge fighting sounds and roars in the room, Li Gong was still inferior to others, and he was finally killed, but when he finally collapsed due to excessive blood loss, Cheng Hua was out of breath and felt like he was about to collapse. Luan Shu heard that the room had returned to calm, so he pushed the door in, and when he saw the terrifying and tragic corpse of Li Gong, he complained, "Why did you cut him like this?" ”

Cheng Hua said: "I can't abolish your order, and I don't want to be killed by him, so I can only try my best to complete the task." ”

Cheng Hua put the body into a thin-skinned coffin and took advantage of the night to pull it outside the east gate. A tomb had been dug there, just the size of a coffin and a cart, and he buried them in the pit - the burial vehicle was the last vestiges of dignity the tyrant had ever received from the king-killer.

The order of the Jin Kingdom has returned to normal, except for the loss of a few big families, and the palace is no longer disturbing the people late at night, there seems to be little change. Zhigang reappeared, and the doctors reunited in the court. After brief consultations, it was agreed that Sun Zhou was the sole successor to the Jin monarchy. Sun Zhou originally had an elder brother, but that person's eyes were very close, and he only knew how to play with himself, and he couldn't even distinguish between cow and sheep and millet.

After the court meeting, Luan Shu sent Zhigang and Shi Yi to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to welcome Sun Zhou as the Marquis of Jin. Sun Zhou returned to China and ascended the throne to mourn the Duke of Jin.
