Hearing this, Li Rui trembled all over, with a look of unwillingness and despair in his eyes.

All civil servants and generals went together.

This is no joke!

"For so many years, I have to go to the treasury to inspect the harvest every year, and I will go there this year too!" Yan Nandu made a decision.

"Your Majesty has been feeling unwell recently. You can postpone your visit for a few days until the harvest is over." Li Rui suggested calmly.

"No! Inspecting the treasury before the harvest has been a rule of our country for many years. How can I ignore the rules just because I am ill? Okay, I have made my decision! Eunuch Shi, please inform the Imperial Guard. Commander Zhou Taishan, let him lead the Imperial Guards tomorrow to protect them!" Yan Nandu issued an order.

"No!" Eunuch Shi responded with clasped fists.

"I'm tired! Push me back to the palace!" Yan Nandu said with a tired look.

Eunuch Shi pushed Yan Nandu away from the imperial garden.

Li Rui looked ugly and sat slumped on a stone chair on one side.

Once Yan Nandu inspects the treasury tomorrow, he will definitely find an empty treasury, so he will definitely be in disaster.

He reached out and rubbed his temples, trying to find a good solution to the problem.

But the emptiness of the national treasury has not been solved for so long. What good solution is there now?

The only way is to...

Thinking of this, Li Rui's eyes showed fierceness and determination.

"Your Majesty... you forced all this... Then don't blame me for being cruel!" Li Rui stood up resolutely, and with steady steps, he found Zhou Taishan, the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Prime Minister..."

Zhou Taishan was resting in the imperial guard camp. When he saw Li Rui arriving, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Just now...Did Eunuch Shi send someone here?" Li Rui asked with a gloomy look.

"Eunuch Shi? No! The prime minister looks very worried. Could it be that something big has happened?" Zhou Taishan's face tightened and he asked hurriedly.

"That's right! The day of disaster is coming for you and me!" Li Rui said coldly with a straight face.

"Ah...why?" Zhou Taishan was shocked.

"Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will lead the civil and military officials to inspect the treasury!" Li Rui said.

Zhou Taishan trembled all over and asked hurriedly: "Is there no way to stop it?"

"I have tried to persuade him, but to no avail! Moreover... inspection of the treasury is at this time of year, and it has become a must-do thing every year! So..." Li Rui stopped talking.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Taishan panicked.

The treasury is empty, there is nothing in it.

If we bring all the civil and military officials to inspect, wouldn't it be a mess?

Yan Nan could definitely tell it at a glance, and so could all the civil servants and generals. This was no joke.

This is equivalent to the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will face beheading.

What Li Rui wants is Zhou Taishan's panic, so that he can use it to his advantage.

"Now we have only one solution!" Li Rui said meaningfully.

"What solution?" Zhou Taishan asked.

"Kill Yan Nandu!!!" Li Rui said murderously.

"what……"

Zhou Taishan trembled all over and turned pale.

Regicide? ?

This is no joke!

Once he bears the name of regicide, his life will be over!

Zhou Taishan was shocked!

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Li Rui's words.

"Once His Majesty enters and finds the empty treasury, it is up to you to kill His Majesty!" Li Rui said coldly.

"This...this...in this case, what should we do with the other civil servants and generals??" Zhou Taishan was stunned.

"I will notify the civil servants and generals one by one. Only those who can be trusted will be notified. Others will not be notified! If Your Majesty asks, he will not come to participate on the grounds of claiming to be ill! Leave these to me! Your profession is... Kill Yan Nandu, maybe you will understand what I say?" Li Rui asked coldly.

"I...I...I...I can understand!" Cold sweat dripped down Zhou Taishan's forehead.

Li Rui said with a gloomy face: "I know you don't want to die! Let alone involve your family! But... what you want is done, do you think His Majesty will believe a word of your words? Don't forget, the person responsible for guarding the treasury is But you, the imperial guards of Zhou Taishan! If it weren't for your fault, how could we be in such an embarrassing situation? Now you only need to kill His Majesty, and we can all survive! And...I will take care of the news of His Majesty's death. Writing a memorial and telling the world about it on the grounds of excessiveness! It is equivalent to having nothing to do with you, Zhou Taishan!"

"Then...then...what happens after His Majesty passes away? A country cannot live without a king for a day!" Zhou Taishan said tremblingly.

Regicide is indeed not a good sign.

Even if others don't say it, it will bring a great shadow to his heart. After all, he is His Majesty's personal guard.

But at this point, does he still have a choice?

run away?

Once he escapes, he will face the fate of being wanted for the rest of his life, and his family will not have an easy time.

"Your Majesty has a decree! The Imperial Guards are commanded by Zhou Taishan. Tomorrow morning, he will lead [-] Imperial Guards to escort them around. I appreciate this!"

Suddenly the voice of a young eunuch came from outside.

Zhou Taishan heard this and hurriedly walked out of the room.

"The last general will receive the order!" Zhou Taishan knelt on his knees, clasping his fists with his hands, and said respectfully in fear.

The little father-in-law left.

Zhou Taishan returned to the room again.

"Now you only have two ways to go!"

"First, lead your family to flee overnight. During this period, you are wanted by various places. You have to eat and sleep in the open every day. It is unbearable!"

"Second, protect the people around you tomorrow morning, wait and see what happens, and be ready to take action!"

"I know your family has left Yanhuang City a long time ago, but... you can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple!"

"As long as Yan Nan is alive, our family will never live in peace and will live in fear forever!"

Li Rui reminded him patiently: "As for the new emperor... His Majesty intends to establish Prince Yao as the crown prince! Once His Majesty dies, we will support Prince Yao to take office!"

Zhou Taishan had no choice but to passively agree.

After Li Rui came out of the palace, he ordered people one by one to inform Tian Chong and Meng Zhang to come to discuss the matter of regicide.

When the two heard Li Rui's opinion, they turned pale and trembled with fear.

indeed!

Regicide is no joke!

If this was spread, people in the entire country would be whipped.

If this was a foolish king or a tyrant, perhaps the people would not say anything.

However, Yan Nan was neither a faint king nor a tyrant. During his reign, the country and the people were peaceful and prosperous.

If they hadn't killed their brothers, neither Zhao nor Chu would have dared to take the opportunity to attack.

After Tian Chong and Meng Zhang left, Li Rui personally visited the Minister of Justice, the Minister of War, the Minister of Industry and others.

These people usually rely on Li Rui, so they treat Li Rui respectfully.
