Inside the palace.

Gao Zhan still kept pointing at King Pengcheng.

But both Lou Rui and Hu Changhong were hesitant at the moment.

None of them took action.

Gao Zhan looked at Lou Rui in shock, and Lou Rui said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I think that even if King Pengcheng is at fault, he will not be arrested and charged. Yang Zhong is in Jinyang, and Shuozhou's army has come to rescue him.

, and all over the border fortress.”

Lou Rui started making crazy hints.

To be honest, that is King Pengcheng, not some kitten or puppy, so he just ordered to arrest him directly?

Didn't you see that the little fat guy next to him was ready to take action?

Are you planning to start a war directly in the palace?

So what if we capture him? Liu Taozi's army is still outside, and we don't know how many people were involved in this matter. That's not how things happened.

But Gao Zhan ignored Lou Rui's hint. Veins popped up on his forehead and he looked particularly crazy.

He Shikai's death dealt him an extremely painful blow.

And he himself actually didn't take medicine for eighteen whole days.

In a short period of time, after experiencing so many things and not taking medicine on time, Gao Zhan's already unstable mood became even more manic.

Even in his eyes, there was only a twisted Gao Yan with a red light all over his body, who was provoking him crazily and making the action of shooting He Shikai over and over again.

Gao Zhan looked at Lou Rui, "Do it! Why haven't you done it yet?!"

Lou Rui frowned and took a step back hastily, "Your Majesty, I don't dare."

"Don't dare?!"

Gao Zhan wanted to scold him, but his rationality stopped him in the end. He looked at Hu Changhong who was standing aside. Hu Changhong's expression became even more painful. What should he do?

His brother Hu Changren found him and asked him to enter the palace on his behalf. He himself contacted everyone and made preparations for rescue, in short, to avoid being directly captured by Gao Jun.

Hu Changren told him that he must deal with Gao Jun well, work hard to win over the officials, force Gao Jun to give up his inappropriate plans, and protect his own interests.

But the emperor's current behavior doesn't seem like he wants to deal with it.

Do you want to start the fight directly?

Hu Changhong looked at Gao Jun in the distance, and then at the other ministers.

Gao Jun slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why I killed the monks was for the sake of world affairs. As for the edict, the situation was urgent at that time. If I can't take charge of the affairs, how can I calm down the government affairs."

"At present, Jinyang is still under siege, and there is chaos everywhere. The puppet Zhou now knows the reality of Daqi."

"They won't take it into consideration anymore. They're just afraid that if Yang Zhong goes back to prepare, the next time he comes, he will lead 100,000, or even 200,000 people."

"The destruction of Da Qi is imminent. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Gao Zhan was furious, "You killed He Shikai, and now you want to kill me again?!"

"It's me who reused you!"

"And you!"

"Which one of you was not promoted by me?! Is this how you want to repay me now?!"

Gao Zhan looked at the important ministers and vented his anger to his heart's content.

The next moment, a figure came in from outside the hall.

"Is His Majesty's condition serious enough?"

Everyone looked at the door and saw two people walking in one after the other.

The leader was Zu Jue, and the person following him, wearing armor and covering his face with a mask, was none other than Liu Taozhi.

Everyone was shocked. Gao Zhan raised his hand and pointed at the two of them, then tremblingly pointed at Gao Jun and even Lou Rui on the side.

"I see!!"

"I see!"

He suddenly looked at Gao Jun, "You recommended Zu Jue to me. He has always been Liu Taozi's man. You have colluded with Liu Taozi very early. No wonder he will protect you. No wonder you can come here."

morning"

"Liu Taozi!"

Gao Zhan suddenly laughed and looked at everyone, "Are you still saying that Liu Taozi is a loyal minister?!"

"I am not wrong! I am not wrong! Liu Taozi, he is going to rebel! He is going to rebel!"

"He is a traitor! A sycophant!"

Listening to Gao Zhan's madness, Zu Jue shook his head again, with helplessness on his face, "Oh, Your Majesty, we are not trying to cause trouble. Each of us was promoted by you. It's just that your favor for He Shikai has changed."

It’s beyond the ordinary.”

"All we want to do is get rid of He Shikai."

"Your Majesty, the traitors have been eliminated now. Please cheer up and let's discuss the important matter of resisting the Puppet Zhou."

Gao Zhan had a splitting headache when he heard these words, "I can't wait to die with you!"

At this moment, the hall finally became silent.

Gao Rui's face was no longer as excited as when he saw Gao Zhan. He just sat there. He saw many of Gao Zhan's behaviors after he came in. He no longer believed in himself. Maybe even Lou and Hu

He doesn't trust anyone anymore.

Fang Cun was confused and confused.

Zu Jue looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I came here on the order of King Pingyang, the governor of Shuozhou. I originally wanted to inform you that the reinforcements were heading towards Sizhou. I never thought that your majesty's condition would be so serious."

"His health was very bad in the past and he had to take the medicine Xu Zhicai made to maintain his health."

"Please send someone to inform Xu Zhicai and ask him to come as soon as possible to prepare medicine for His Majesty."

Some of the guards hurried out, but Gao Yan looked at Gao Yanzong and said, "Take your majesty to rest first. When your majesty gets better, we will invite him to discuss important matters."

Gao Yanzong strode forward, not paying attention to Lou Rui and Hu Changhong standing next to Gao Zhan, and grabbed Gao Zhan and walked out.

Gao Zhan kept yelling and was taken away by him.

Lou Rui and Hu Changhong looked at each other, but did not make a move.

Zu Jue waited until the emperor left before speaking again: "In order to prevent traitors from plotting to murder Your Majesty, Liu Gong will be responsible for the security of the palace from now on."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and is temporarily unable to participate in important government affairs."

"The Puppet Zhou is rampant. Within a year, they will definitely invade again with dozens of times the force."

“Right now, we should discuss preparedness matters in various places first.”

Gao Jun once again took charge of the topic. He slowly talked about the adjustment work. Gao Rui and others had serious faces, and they no longer mentioned the emperor's affairs.

Everyone expressed their own thoughts and put aside the emperor's affairs for the time being.

Gao Jun was not trying to scare them. Yang Zhong only brought ten thousand people with him this time, and the Turks did not contribute. It was like a test.

As a result, the test results showed that the Qi people's defense was corrupt, the generals were at odds, and the local officials were just a bunch of pigs.

As long as Yu Wenhu has not been infected with the disease like his own king, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity and will definitely summon a large army to crusade. This time it will be 10,000 people, but next time he will not be able to guarantee it.

In this battle, the entire north was severely damaged, and the situation was very unfavorable for the Qi people.

When everyone is discussing.

Zu Jue took the opportunity to sit next to Lou Rui.

"Mr. Lou, the current situation requires the Queen Mother to personally intervene."

"Your Majesty is seriously ill and is really unable to manage the affairs of the world."

Zu Jue didn't hold back his voice too much, and the hall suddenly became a little quiet.

Zu Jue frowned, "I wonder if we should temporarily abdicate His Majesty. Your Majesty is wise, but he has been plagued by illness in these years. If he becomes the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince takes over, wouldn't the situation be much better?"

The corner of Lou Rui's mouth twitched, and everyone including Hu Changhong, who was opposite him, suddenly raised their heads at this moment.

Zu Jue continued: "When the time comes, let the Supreme Emperor take good care of his health, leave the internal affairs to many older wise kings, and leave the external affairs to many capable people to deal with them in the future. If everyone works together, maybe we can

Defeat the Zhou people"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped and said with a wry smile: "Of course, this is just my rough idea. It is up to the Queen Mother to make the final decision."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Gao Wei.

Logically speaking, doing great things, becoming prime minister, and ascending the throne as emperor are the standard three-piece suit of Daqi.

To do big things, to be a prime minister, to kill the emperor before he ascends the throne is a three-piece package.

Gao Jun has already reached the second step, is he still willing to stop?

Gao Jun also looked at Lou Rui at this moment, "The Empress Dowager, I would like to trouble Sikong Neng to say a few words. Your Majesty is so ill. It wouldn't be a bad thing if he could be admitted to the Supreme Emperor's office so that he could rest in peace and cultivate himself."

On the other side of Sandui City.

The water was gurgling, and the soldiers were panting, lying on their armors, and struggling to cross the river.

Yang Zhong took the lead and came to the shore. Someone led the war horse to his side. He was busy putting on his armor again. The soldiers crossed the river one by one and gathered around Yang Zhong.

Li Mu helped Yang Zhong put on his armor without saying a word and was very solemn.

Murong Yan, who came to greet them, took over the temporary defense. The soldiers held strong crossbows and stood guard on the shore, guarding against the soldiers who might come out at any time.

The water splashed everywhere, and more and more soldiers successfully landed.
