Invincible son

Chapter 670 669 [What seems to be in the world] (eighteen)

Yan Wangfu.

The time has come to midnight, and the night in early summer is extremely cool, but Liu Zan's heart is extremely hot.

After Duan Jiu's death, his confidantes, with the cooperation of the elite defenders, took control of more than seventy Luanyi guards, and this majestic palace was finally back under his control.

"My lord, Pei Ning is not in the Dingguo Mansion, and Shen Moyun came with a large number of crows, so the subordinates can only retreat first. That woman should hide in the Shen Mansion, and the subordinates can bring more soldiers to the Shen Mansion, and they will definitely not let her go. Your Highness is disappointed." Wei Zhuang stood under the hall, he didn't seem to be frustrated, his eyes were still sharp.

Liu Zan turned his gaze to the old man sitting next to him, then shook his head slightly and said, "For the time being, don't have a direct confrontation with Taishitai Pavilion."

Wei Zhuang was a little disappointed, and then bowed his hands and retreated.

After he left, the old man said calmly: "Your Highness, don't trust these people too much."

Liu Zan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, you were the one who introduced the Xian family to me."

The old man is Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, the head coach of the Kyoto Defense Division.

Liu Zan's words seemed to bring back Zhang Wuchen's long-sealed memories, and he couldn't help sighing: "I was only in my early 20s when the Chu State Mansion was in trouble, and I was at the age not afraid of life and death. , Maybe he will die by the sword of Emperor Zhongzong like Gu Liang's father. Brother Chunqiu fled to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and later tried every means to send someone to send a letter, telling me not to implicate the family on the spur of the moment. Buried in my heart."

He paused, then shook his head and said, "It's been more than 30 years now, and I'm afraid not many people still remember the story between Chengyanghou's Mansion and Chu State Mansion."

Liu Zan nodded and said, "In this world, there are not many people who are as loyal as Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Wu said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to compliment the old man. In fact, it has been so long, and the original anger and hatred have long been worn away by time. Now I have half of my body buried in the ground. What I am asking for is just for For future generations."

Liu Zan said solemnly: "Uncle Zhang, please be at ease, so that the young master can at least inherit the Marquis in the future."

Daliang's title system is hereditary by demotion to avoid the formation of a family of military honors that can't be lost. If he wants to be a prince directly when he inherits the title, it means that Zhang Wu will be promoted to the Duke of the state before his death.The Tian family has always been very cautious about the titles of dukes and marquises. Apart from the nine founding dukes, only Wang Pingzhang has been granted the title of duke in the past hundred years.

Even though Zhang Wu was determined and resolute, he couldn't help feeling excited at this moment.

For Wu Xun of Daliang, conferring the title of Duke during his lifetime was the pinnacle of being a minister, which was almost the same as the posthumous posthumous posthumous title of a civil servant, Wenzheng.

However, he was not overwhelmed by the excitement, and after thanking him, he asked again: "Your Highness, now that the garrison guards control the gates of the capital, there is nothing to worry about from the imperial army. As long as the news of His Majesty's assassination and dying spreads, I believe there will be some Many courtiers will stand on His Highness's side. However, Gu Liang and Shen Moyun should not be underestimated, we must find a way to restrain them."

Liu Zan nodded, and said calmly: "It's natural, but don't worry too much about it. Now Uncle Zhang is in charge of the garrison division, Li Bingzhong has temporarily replaced Guo Kaishan, and the Five Armies Governor's Mansion has already fallen into our pocket. It is enough to control the capital. All we need to do is to trap Gu Liang in the mansion, and ignore Mo Moyun for now, I believe he is a person who judges the situation."

Zhang Wu seemed to quite agree with his judgment, and then asked cautiously: "There shouldn't be any problems with Xingliang Mansion, right?"

Liu Zan smiled lightly, and raised his voice, "Please come out, Your Highness."

After a while, the second prince Liu Yun and the sixth prince Liu Zhi walked into the hall with gloomy expressions. Each of them was escorted by two masters. They no longer had the noble dignity of the Tian family in the past, but looked like poor prisoners.

They never imagined that they were forced by Pei Yue to come to the capital to report the news, but on the way, they suddenly ran into a group of two or three hundred soldiers in ambush. With their advanced martial arts skills, these people directly killed the hundreds of forbidden troops escorting the two princes. Then they escorted them around in a circle, entered the capital from the east gate of the capital, and were sent directly to Yan Wang's mansion.

Liu Zan said with a relaxed expression: "Second Brother, Sixth Brother, I have wronged you."

Seeing his attitude that he didn't want to hide at all, the second prince gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard who killed your father and brother!"

Liu Zan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, if my father can't make it through tomorrow, I promise to send you on the road immediately, so that my father will be served by someone below."

The second prince said angrily: "How dare you!"

The sixth prince suddenly said: "Second brother, why bother talking in vain, he is already crazy."

Liu Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Liu Zhi and said, "Sixth brother, if you are willing to help me, I can keep you alive. Although you won't be able to hold great power in the future, at least you can be rich and leisurely. Speaking of which, I don't care about you." What's your opinion, after all, you are not as annoying as the elder brother and the second brother."

The sixth prince sarcastically said: "Fourth brother thinks I can still trust your words?"

Liu Zanqi said: "Why can't you believe it? The elder brother and the second elder brother are sure to die, but you may not die. I know you are a smart person, so you should be aware of current affairs instead of doing unnecessary resistance."

The sixth prince was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "What does fourth brother want me to do?"

Liu Zan laughed happily, and Zhang Wu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help showing color.

……

Relying on the garrison division and the five-army governor's mansion, Liu Zan has already controlled most of the places in Kyoto. Only Guangping Hou's Mansion, Zhongshan Hou's Mansion and Taishitai Pavilion have not been taken yet. Of course, there are people watching and guarding against them.

Other than that, only the core of the palace remained.

The palace has become a mess, the news that the emperor's assassination is imminent has been widely disseminated, the three princes don't know if they are still alive, all the pressure is on Empress Chen's shoulders.She had no choice but to let go of her prejudices and work together with Concubine Wu Gui, only in this way could she barely shake the chaos in the palace.

As for the affairs outside the palace, when Gu Liang was trapped, Silent Cloud disappeared, and Mo Haoli was sick in bed, they were powerless and could only let Liu Zan hold the power firmly in his hands in the middle of the night.

There is no shortage of careerists at any time, and the allure of Conglong Zhigong to courtiers is unimaginable.

Just as Zhang Wu expected, some people also want to enjoy high officials and rich salary after the dust settles. This kind of sentiment spread in the capital at midnight, growing rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

What made the nobles in the palace at a loss the most was that the forbidden army chose to remain silent at this time.

Apart from protecting Miyagi, the Imperial Army did nothing even though they knew that Liu Zan's successive attacks had caused turmoil in Kyoto.
