Strange Tale of Qingluan

Baoqin is still waiting in place, in case the eight masters get suspicious.

It has been a hundred times of wandering in the same place, and Baoqin is anxious while wandering. The person who seems to be anxious to get lost is worried about Su Zhongming's secret visit to Lu Shang.

"Bao Qin!" Su Zhongming returned to the street where the strategy started, and when he saw Bao Qin's figure, he called out.

When Baoqin heard the sound, she turned her head and immediately went up to meet her, but she continued to play to the end, and deliberately asked, "Where did the young master run off just now? He disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Su Zhongming replied cooperatively: "There were too many people just now, so I was pushed away. I wanted to go back, but I went the wrong way. Fortunately, I met this big brother, so I was able to come back."

Bao Qin reminded: "One hour has passed, I have to go back immediately."

Su Zhongming replied simply: "Well, let's go back."

A group of people leisurely returned to the palace, and after entering the city gate, the eight masters stopped following them and only walked to another long street in the palace to return to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

There were no observers in front of him or behind him, so Baoqin asked generously: "My lord, did you meet Mr. Lu smoothly today?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Yes, and it has been negotiated."

Bao Qin asked with concern: "Then, Mr. Lu's military power...?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Nineteen divisions, 37 people. This military power alone can protect Yujia." After a pause, he added, "But more troops are needed to support Yujia as king."

Baoqin agrees: "Young master is very right."

but……

Where can I gather so many troops?In the government and the opposition, not every minister is as easy-talking as Lu Shang.

It seems that it can only rely on the blood relationship between Yu Jia and Lou Linrou.

Su Zhongming sighed secretly while thinking.

When he returned to Yimengzhai, he wanted to be quiet and plan a new strategy in the silence, but things backfired when he failed. As soon as he stepped into Yimengzhai, he saw the beginning of trouble.

"I went out early in the morning, where did I go?" Lou Tianying sat at the table and asked calmly.

"I heard that there is a street parade and it's very lively, so I went out of the palace to see it." Su Zhongming replied, feeling extremely reluctant to open his lips.

"You left the palace?! Who gave you this privilege?!" Lou Tianying was shocked, stood up and blurted out.

"I went to the Empress Dowager's dormitory this morning to say hello, and I told you about it along the way, and I got permission." Su Zhongming said calmly.

"You didn't add half a word?" Lou Tianying squinted at him slightly, seeming a little suspicious.

"If you don't believe me, just go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and ask your adoptive mother!" Su Zhongming blurted out, he really didn't want to talk too much with the man in front of him, so he walked into the bedroom.

Baoqin looked at Lou Tianying and said with a smile: "I wonder if Your Majesty is thirsty? Let Baoqin make tea for Your Majesty?"

Lou Tianying came here just to see Su Zhongming, so he simply declined: "No, please wait for your current master." After saying that, he left Yimengzhai with his entourage and rushed to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Baoqin watched Lou Tianying leave with a chuckle, then turned around, picked up the teapot on the table, and walked towards the tea room.

In the evening, the old eunuch was ordered to summon at Yimengzhai, and Su Zhongming took Baoqin with him. After finishing the Six Prayer Dance, he had dinner with Lou Linrou and others.Su Zhongming turned his head and saw that the waiter standing not far behind Lou Linrou was none other than Yu Jia.Yu Jia also noticed his gaze and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Su Zhongming guessed that Yu Jia must be able to serve here because he was favored by Lou Linrou, so he felt relieved. When he turned around, he saw Lou Tianying filling a glass of wine for him privately and asking him to drink it. .

Knowing the astringency hidden in Lou Tianyi's stomach, Su Zhongming only looked at Lou Linrou's face, took a small sip, but didn't drink it all up, so he was dissatisfied by Lou Tianying and wanted to punish him with three cups.

Su Zhongming was originally incapable of drinking, so he claimed in court that he was unwell and could only drink one drink. He also said that although booze drinking was worth doing on this day, he had something wrong with drinking, and his condition worsened. Sickness will only disturb the interest and break the auspiciousness.With such a word, Lou Tianying's unruly attempt will be suppressed.

At the feast, the ministers also toasted the members of the royal family.

Late at night, when the banquet came to an end, the officials bowed respectfully to the members of the royal family, and then dispersed.

Su Zhongming also wanted to go back to Yimengzhai with Baoqin, so he only said to Lou Linrou: "I'm going back first."

Lou Tianying hurriedly answered, "Gu will go back with you."

Su Zhongming persuaded: "As a monarch, you should spend more time with the Queen Mother at this moment, shouldn't you?" Pursing his lips and forcing a smile, he took Baoqin and resigned.

Before leaving the hall, just passing through the aisle, suddenly, a figure rushed out from one side and bumped into Su Zhongming. The other people in the hall were stunned for a moment, and Su Zhongming was also stunned.

A minister rushed forward and pulled away the man who bumped into Su Zhongming. Su Zhongming saw that it was the Taiwei Lu, but his expression seemed to be drunk, and he was still crooked even if he was supported by someone. Unsteady standing on a slant.

The minister who supported Lu Shang hurriedly pleaded: "My lord, forgive me! He just drank a little too much, so he offended!"

Su Zhongming folded his sleeves in front of him, and said generously: "It's not in the way, just send him back." After saying that, he strode away from the banquet.

On the long street extending to Yimengzhai, even though the moonlight was dim and the surroundings were pitch black, Su Zhongming hurriedly took out from his sleeve what Lu Shang had just forced into his palm—it was a very small folded letter .

When Baoqin looked at it, she suddenly realized: "It turns out that it was not accidental that the Lu Taiwei bumped into the young master just now!"

After Su Zhongming quickly read the letter over, he said, "Taiwei Lu wants to see Yu Jia."

Baoqin couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said: "However, the matter has not been settled yet, if I let Yujia go to see Taiwei Lu, I'm afraid it will be harmful to Yujia."

Su Zhongming said: "Taiwei Lu said in the letter that he would help us lobby several important officials in the court. I think this is an opportunity. Only when Yu Jia goes, the military power gathered on Yu Jia will increase!"

Bao Qin was still hesitating, worried again: "But..."

Su Zhongming blurted out: "Trust Taiwei Lu once, and give yourself a little confidence."

Baoqin had no choice but to nod.

It seems a little risky for Yu Jia to go to the place mentioned in the letter this time. Su Zhongming thought about it and decided to take the risk and go out with Yu Jia. There is no way to deceive the imperial edict, but to use the trick of blinding one's eyes.

It happened that Lou Tianying stayed up late to review the memorial, so Su Zhongming went to accompany him, but secretly ordered Baoqin to drink some medicine to calm the nerves and sleepiness in the hot tea, and then brought the cup of hot tea to Lou Tianying, gently persuading him to drink it.Lou Tianying couldn't refuse Su Zhongming's kindness, so he drank it generously, and soon fell asleep lying on the table.

Su Zhongming took this opportunity to instruct Baoqin, who had good calligraphy, to copy Lou Tianying's handwriting on the booklet with a piece of white paper, and wrote it as an imperial order to go out of the palace. After that, he returned to Yimengzhai early the next morning, and The stolen Emperor's Seal was imprinted, and in this way, a fake imperial order to leave the palace was completed.

Three days later, Su Zhongming pretended to be sick, declared that he was recuperating in the room without being disturbed, closed the door of the room tightly, ordered Baoqin to guard it carefully, and dressed himself as a waiter, and went out of the Taoxia Palace with Yu Jia, secretly. Visited Lu Mansion.

The door of the study room was closed, and it seemed that there was no one there. The housekeeper invited Su Zhongming and Yu Jia to the door, and then retreated.Su Zhongming knocked on the door himself, and within a short while, the door opened and Lu Shang's head poked out. When Lu Shang saw Su Zhongming and Yu Jia, he called them into the study and closed the door of the study tightly. stand up.

Su Zhongming followed into the depths of the study, and saw five ministers sitting at the front of the table in the depths, guessing in his heart that the five ministers were the accomplices gathered by Lu Shang.

Seeing Su Zhongming's arrival, the five ministers respectfully bowed to him. When their gazes fell on Yu Jia, they couldn't help but look at him a few times. They all praised Yu Jia for having the air of a king, saying that he was more like a prince than Lou Tianying. The king, at this point, couldn't help but blame Lou Tianying, saying that it's no wonder that Nas doesn't have a bit of the honor of the king. It turns out that he is not of royal blood. The dragon robe sits on the throne and does not dare to be disrespectful.

Immediately, the eight people sat together in a group to discuss the major event of Taoxia Kingdom's abolition of the king and change of owner.

In the evening, Su Zhongming took Yu Jia back to Taoxia Palace, the two parted ways at the fork of the long street, and Su Zhongming returned to Yimengzhai alone.Baoqin is reading a book in the living room, there is still a pot of refreshment tea on the table, she dare not rest or doze off.

When Su Zhongming stepped into the living room, Baoqin hung down the book and greeted him happily: "My lord is back?"

Su Zhongming responded with an 'um', then pushed open the lattice door of his bedroom, entered the bedroom, changed his clothes as a waiter, and got into the quilt.

Baoqin knocked on the door and asked, "My lord..."

Su Zhongming replied: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

Baoqin pushed the door lightly, then pushed it open, walked into Su Zhongming's bedroom, and asked, "How is Yu Jia's matter going?"

Su Zhongming snapped his fingers and replied confidently: "Perfect!"

Baoqin said reassuringly: "That would be great!" Then he did not forget to tell, "My lord, not long after you left the palace, the new king really came. Thanks to this arrangement, the new king can be persuaded to leave."

Su Zhongming said with a smile: "Pretending to be sick is a panacea! I'm afraid that he will come in to find out what's going on. I even stuffed a pillow under the quilt! But you are clever, and you can persuade him away with just one mouth!"

Baoqin said with a smile: "Then, I'll cook a bowl of tonic for you. If the new king comes again, he can even mix the fake with the real one."

Su Zhongming quickly responded, "Okay."

Three days later, Su Zhongming took Baoqin to Qiufang Hall, and had a secret talk with Yujia and Nanny Lin.

While Su Zhongming was planning, he wrote down important steps on paper.First, Yu Jia will go out of the palace tomorrow morning to meet Lu Shang, the Taiwei of Gyeonggi. The next morning, Lu Shang, etc... the six ministers must incite other ministers to support Yu Jia as king.Second, the Empress Dowager Lou already knew that Yu Jia was an orphan, so tomorrow night, when the Empress Dowager Lou was about to go to bed, she handed the ecstasy tea to the Empress Dowager Lou to drink.

In the middle of the night, due to the effect of ecstasy, the Empress Dowager Lou would be half asleep and fell into a hallucination. At this time, before the bed collapsed, Nanny Lin asked in the ear of the Empress Dowager Lou, "Do you remember?"Do you still remember the birth of flesh and blood in the dormitory more than ten years ago?The child is still alive and misses his biological mother very much'.

Thirdly, before the early imperial court, Yu Jia accompanied Nanny Lin to the Empress Dowager's bedroom and reported Yu Jia's life experience to the Empress Dowager.

Fourth, if the mother and son are reconciled successfully, Yujia will put on a dragon robe and rush to the main hall with Baoqin, and Baoqin must bring the Emperor's Seal.

After discussing the detailed strategy, Yu Jia couldn't help but worry: "Can we really win this round?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I don't know, because the key is in your hands, and it's all up to you. The time is urgent. Of the four parts I wrote, none of them can be missed, and none of them can fail!"

The author has something to say:

The cough in spring is so difficult to cure...

And today is another day...

I didn't know what food is for a week...

It's bitter to eat simple food every day

So spring is not pleasant, it is not pleasant

(At least I detest it...)
