Plan to cut off the nine states

(Please collect and recommend)

The wedding night turned out to be uneventful, especially for the groom, who was so "unhappy" that he stayed alone in the empty room.

The bride was taken away early, and no one in the Lou family had spoken to her except Mrs. Lan, who decided to keep it a secret and even refused to reveal the truth to the general.

Throughout the night, Lou Chu only slept for a short while. He got up early and watched the sky outside getting brighter. He couldn't help but secretly laugh at his panic. His father said that he was too young, and it was true.

The newlyweds were supposed to go to pay their respects to their parents, but the mansion sent someone over, claiming that the wife was unwell and that the newlyweds did not need to go to the back house and could just kneel and worship at home.

For the newly married princess, this kind of treatment seemed a bit cold, but it did not arouse anyone's suspicion. A general is a general, and all behaviors are reasonable in the eyes of the servants.

The general was leaving the city early in the morning, so Lou Chu had to see him off. The bridal chamber was attended by Mrs. Lan's trusted maids and people sent by the palace, pretending that everything was normal.

Hundreds of knights lined the streets, with dazzling armor and soul-catching long spears. These were not ordinary honor guards, but real soldiers, personal soldiers of the general, who rarely appeared in the city.

After all, the general is wary and must take his own soldiers with him to feel at ease.

Most of the children of the Lou family were still staying in the military camp, and there were not many people seeing him off. Lou Wen simply explained a few words and got on the bus to prepare for departure - he was too fat. If he rode a horse, he would not be able to go very far before he had to change.

Lou Wen called the Seventeenth Son over and looked at him for a long time, but had nothing to say and waved him away.

Suddenly there was the sound of rapid horse hooves at the street corner, and anxious shouts: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The personal guards who only obeyed the orders of the general actually gave way, because the person who came was none other than the general's legitimate son, General Lou Keng of the Central Army.

Lou Gang had a lot of servants, and they usually attacked each other, but Ling Tian came here alone. He weighed less than his father, and the horse could barely bear it. When he arrived, he was foaming at the mouth, and the man on his back had just jumped. Go down and it will run away.

No one paid attention to the horses, and Lou rushed towards his father's vehicle, "Big thing! Big thing!"

Lou Wen stood up in the car, stretched out his hand to press the knife, and shouted: "What's the matter?"

Lou Jian was panic-stricken, but his face looked a little happy. He grabbed the car rail and looked up at his father. He became more and more anxious and speechless.

Lou Wen stepped on his son's face. Lou Jiang let out a sigh and was finally able to speak normally: "Prince Guangling...Prince Guangling was exposed and his whole family was arrested!"

Everyone who listened was surprised. Lou Chu was shocked, and Lou Wen was so shocked that he sat down in the car. He woke up quickly and grabbed Sanzi's wrist, "What's going on? When did it happen? Tell me quickly."

"Father, use less force." Lou Jian calmed down a little, "What just happened, the Prince of Jibei personally led the guards to surround the Guangling Prince's Mansion, and imprisoned all the people in the Prince's Mansion. The messengers from the inner palace will arrive soon. Wouldn't it be a great joy to invite my father and all the important ministers to the palace for a meeting?"

The thing happened so suddenly that Lou Wen was puzzled and turned his gaze to the Seventeenth Son, but without asking his opinion, he looked at the Third Son and said, "Your Majesty, is he inviting everyone into the palace?"

"Yes." Lou Jian understood who his father meant by "everyone". "No one is left behind. The messenger has already left the palace. I will come back one step ahead so that my father can be prepared."

Lou Wen made a quick decision and said to the military commander next to him: "Bring the people to the mansion and wait for my order."

Hundreds of cavalry entered the palace through a side door. Only a few personal followers were left around the general. All the staff were outside the city. Lou Wen once again turned his attention to the Seventeenth Son and said, "Come into the palace with me."

The foundation of the building should be, but the fear in my heart has not diminished.

Just as Lou Jian was about to explain the process to his father in detail, a messenger from the palace arrived and read out a brief edict. One said that King Guangling had rebelled, and the other asked the general to enter the palace immediately to discuss government affairs.

The general set off in a car, followed by his two sons on horseback. Lou forced himself to switch to a horse, and from time to time he would dance and say to his father and brother back and forth: "The Lou family is worry-free, what else do you have to worry about?"

Lou Chu was very worried. Based on his superficial understanding of the emperor, "catch them all" was the emperor's favorite scene.

But he didn't say a word. He knew that even if he spoke like a lotus flower at this moment, it would be impossible for his father and brother to look back.

The emperor met with the ministers at the Qinzheng Hall. As a general of the Chinese army, Lou Jian was not qualified to attend, and Lou Chu could only serve as a guard.

Lou Jian was so excited that he couldn't help but whisper to his younger brother: "Aren't you worried this time? I told you before that as long as the world is not peaceful, our Lou family will not fall. There is no other reason. The court must need it." Is there someone leading troops to fight? After Qinzhou, there is also the He Rong tribe in the north. There may be another rebellion somewhere after the He Rong tribe. Who can put it down except the general? General Lan has proven his incompetence in Qinzhou..."

Before he finished speaking, General Lan arrived. At least in name, he was the uncle of the Lou family brothers. Lou Gang immediately stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile, "Why didn't uncle attend the Lou family's wedding yesterday?"

Lou Jian stayed in the palace and did not show up at the wedding.

General Lan has a fat body and a silver-plated face. He does not look like a commander commanding thousands of troops. He is very cold to his nephew. "Ah, I just returned to Beijing. I am tired. I sent someone to send gifts...Which of your brothers is getting married?" ? With great fanfare."

"That's it. Seventeenth brother Lou Chu, isn't your uncle impressed?" Lou firmly pulled General Lan's arm, looking more and more affectionate.

General Lan looked at the foundation of the building and said, "To be favored by the King of Jibei, you are quite capable."

Lan Yong, who followed his father into the palace, reminded him in a low voice: "Father, your Majesty has a decree and it is not advisable to delay."

General Lan shook off his nephew's fat palm and strode towards the palace.

Lou Jiang smiled at Lan Yong and said, "Uncle has just returned to Beijing. Why don't you come to the wedding? Let's have a good dinner."

"Ah, busy." Lan Yong said perfunctorily, turned and walked away.

Lou Jian immediately changed his face and whispered to Lou Chu: "Just wait, the Queen Mother will be away sooner or later. Let's see how long the Lan family can keep dancing."

The Lan family was granted the title of Duke as a foreign relative and was not respected by important ministers. However, Lou Chu never understood why he had a grudge against the Lou family and had no way of finding out.

The general arrived first, followed by General Lan, and other important ministers arrived one after another, including the King of Jibei, the King of Xiangdong, and the King of Yidu, as well as seven or eight civil servants including Taifu Liang. Only the Shen family of Bingzhou arrived.

The King of Jibei nodded to the foundation of the building, and the King of Xiangdong and King Yidu went straight into the palace with serious faces.

There were quite a few people staying on the steps, most of whom were unfamiliar with the building foundations, but all the building's hard parts were recognized, and they came forward to be polite.

Here, everyone has to lower their voices when speaking, not daring to be disrespectful.

The prince of Jibei came to the front of the building and said in a low voice: "Thank you, brother-in-law. We have found the whereabouts of my sister and will deliver her to the house soon."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine as long as sister Shiqing is fine."

"It's rare for my brother-in-law to be reasonable. We have recognized this relationship." Zhang Shiyu motioned to Lou Xi to take a few steps, "Brother-in-law, you have heard that Prince Duan was also arrested."

Lou Chu nodded.

Zhang Shiyu showed confusion, "That is His Majesty's favorite person. He grew up by His Majesty's side when he was a child. After leaving the palace, he is still His Majesty's most trusted person. He often entertains the Holy Master at home. How could it be... Shall we ask His Majesty for mercy?"

"Not yet. His Majesty is probably angry. We will talk about it later when we find out the truth."

"Okay, I will listen to my brother-in-law." Zhang Shiyu was young and willing to obey his brother-in-law.

The proceedings in the palace were not over until noon. Eunuchs occasionally came in and out. The children of the family gathered around to inquire, but all they received was shaking their heads and smiling bitterly. When it comes to such things as conspiracy, no one dares to be talkative.

The Lou family and the Huangfu family were at odds, but Lou Jian and Huangfu Jie were seemingly best friends. They gathered together and whispered. After a while, Lou Jian waved to his younger brother.

"Don't leave later, come with me to Zushi Garden." Lou insisted.

Huangfujie said with a smile: "I have been separated for three days, and you should look at me with admiration. The Seventeenth Young Master is amazing."

He joined the Shiyuan Garden as a white man and was on standby. He was the only one to own the foundation of the building. He was indeed "unremarkable". Before he could say a few words of modesty, the third brother Lou insisted: "It's not my younger brother who is great, it's your Majesty who is great. It's only the talent that matters." , eclectic, throughout the ages, which emperor has such courage and courage? "

When praising the emperor, Huangfujie would never fall behind, "Of course, your majesty is wise and powerful. The most rare thing is that he is very accurate in judging people. He will rise when he should be promoted, be demoted when he should be demoted, and kill when he should be killed, without making any mistakes. "

The two of them tried their best to flatter the absent emperor, until their mouths were dry and their stomachs were speechless. They finally came to an end. Huangfujie walked away to talk to others.

Lou Jian whispered: "Let him be happy for a while. The next one is Huangfu's family. Just wait for Huangfu to enter the military camp..."

Lou Chu couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty can imprison Prince Guangling's family, why can't he arrest Huangfu's family directly?"

Lou Jian looked at his younger brother angrily, "What do you know? This is His Majesty's test for the Lou family, and it is also a deterrent to the people of Jizhou. The general is invincible in the world, and only he can suppress Huangfu...shh."

Someone came over, and Lou Jing greeted them with a smile.

After another hour, the proceedings in the palace finally came to an end. The ministers filed out, greeted their children and entourage, and left in a hurry without speaking to each other.

The general went in early and came out late. He looked majestic and seemed to have all the doubts in his mind. He took his two sons out of the palace, got into the carriage and said: "You stay in the palace and serve His Majesty well, no matter what happens." , Tolerance is the best, wait until I return from the Western Expedition."

"Yes. When will father leave?" Lou Jian asked.

"In five days, before that, that matter must be resolved."

"That thing" was naturally related to Zhi Huangfu's family.

"Of course, father..."

Lou Wen raised his hand to interrupt his son, "I have my own arrangements."

The general rode out of the city, entered the palace through another gate, and went directly to Zishi Garden without even eating.

It was getting dark, and no one knew whether the emperor would come today, but there were more attendants than usual, and almost all of those who were qualified to enter the garden came, talking quietly to each other.

"Who would have thought that King Guangling would rebel?"

"Hey, what's unexpected? There have been warnings about this. King Guangling back then... go and find out."

"Then he still dares to return to Beijing?"

"Prince Guangling originally wanted to go to Beijing to seize the throne, and the plan was made. However, his every move was already under His Majesty's surveillance, so Your Majesty used a trick to lure him back to Beijing."

"His Majesty still has the upper hand."

"Of course."

A group of people entered the garden. The emperor had been dealing with the rebellion case of King Guangling all day, but he still found time to come to the garden.

Everyone immediately shut up and lined up on both sides. Although they did not need to kneel down, they bowed deeper than usual.

The emperor stood in front of his attendants and sighed, "You will never understand my difficulties."

This was a bit strange. Several people looked up and saw Zhang Sheduan, the eldest son of Prince Guangling, standing next to the emperor. His hair was disheveled and he was in a state of despair, as if he were a walking corpse.

Lou Chu also saw it, and his heart suddenly tightened, remembering the scene where the emperor personally killed Censor Luo.
