The fragrance of August osmanthus flowers. .

Fire flows in July, gold flows in August. In the outskirts of Hanjing, the rice fields in the Nanyang Basin began to turn yellow, as brilliant as gold.

This is the joy of a bumper harvest.

On the road between a large area of ​​golden rice, a fast horse galloped past and headed towards the tall and majestic Hanjing City.

At the gate of Qiao Duke Chai Shao’s mansion.

An ordinary carriage parked at the back door. It was an extremely ordinary old carriage with a roof made of bamboo strips, and the carriage was filled with baskets of vegetables.

It was dusk and the door opened, and the servants from Chai Mansion began to unload the truck.

The car was unloaded halfway, and an old man came out of the carriage, with half-gray hair, cloth clothes, and cloth towels. However, he could not hide his unusual aura. Several servants of the Chai family looked at him unexpectedly, but the housekeeper came over.

"This is from the mansion to work from the mansion." After saying that, he nodded to the old man and signaled him to follow him in.

The two of them walked around the carriage and went straight into the mansion.

Several servants continued unloading trucks and moving vegetables, and couldn't help but say curiously, "What is this old man here to do? Are you guarding the door?"

"I haven't heard of anyone leaving the mansion, I need to replace him."

Mansion.

The housekeeper led the old man but did not go to the servitude worker in the backyard, but went directly to the front yard and headed to Chai Shao's study.

"Have Feng Deyi arrived?" the old man asked, "Where did he look like a country man while he was speaking.

The housekeeper lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Mr. Feng arrived two days earlier than Mr. Pei, and is now in my Alang study."

The old man nodded. He was no one else, but he was the prime minister of the Wude Dynasty. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was demoted from the capital.

No one would have expected that the first three dukes who should have stayed in their original home had secretly arrived in Hanjing and appeared in Chai Mansion.

study.

Pei Ji came in and the few people in the room stood up together.

Feng Deyi came over excitedly, "Mr. Pei, we are finally here, and we are waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation."

Pei Ji greeted the people in the house in turn.

Former Situ, right servant Feng Deyi, former Hanlin Academy scholar Wen Daya, former Yan King Luo Yi, former Hejian King Li Xiaogong, former Zong Zhengqing, and former Zong Zhengqing and Xiangyang eldest princess Dou Dan.

In addition, Princess Pingyang's former son-in-law Chai Shao, and his former Sikong, the left servant Pei Ji.

Each of the seven people in this room is not simple.

There were royal families, prince consorts, former prime ministers, and former kings of different surnames.

Pei Ji walked aside and sat down, looked at everyone, and laughed a few times.

"I am pretending to be sick at home. I am almost dying and I cannot go out of bed every day. The emperor stayed in my mansion to monitor me. He must have thought that I was really dying and could not even see anyone. But they could not expect that the old lady had arrived in Hanjing." Pei Ji said.

Feng Deyi said proudly, "I have found out who was the eyeliner sent by the emperor to me. I directly used the money to smash him to do things for me. I came out of my house, but the eyeliner still reported to the government and the court every day. I was still studying and reflecting in my hometown."

The seven people laughed together.

After laughing, the tension was much less.

Pei Ji asked, "Didn't you tell me to contact Xiao and Chen Shuda? Why didn't these two people come?"

"I have tested the attitude of the two, and they are also very disappointed with the present. After I showed them the secret edict of the Supreme Emperor, they expressed their willingness to obey the edict." Chai Shao explained, "But we must also act carefully and not be slackened at all. If there is a little negligence, the matter will be over. Therefore, every time we meet to discuss matters, we must carry out the matter in secret, and there must not be too many people."

"The Duke of Qiao is right. If you don't lose your country secretly, your ministers will not be secretly**. You should be careful in this matter. Since Xiao and Chen Shuda are willing to join us, then we will have a little more success."

Chai Shao smiled and said to Pei Ji, "I have another good news here to tell you. The news I just received is that the tyrant Li Shimin has led his army from Chang'an and marched towards the Western Regions. Our victory is getting closer and the time is coming."

This restoration plan has been planned for more than a month.

Li Yuan first looked for Chai Shao, then Li Xiaogong, Wen Daya and others, and then handed the sealed seals to these people, asking them to contact his old confidants everywhere.

A large net slowly takes shape.

More and more people are involved in this plan.

The prime ministers and ministers of the Wude Dynasty, as well as the prime ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, as well as the royal family, honorary relatives, imperial guards, and southern yamen. A large group of noble civil servants and generals who were unsatisfied in the new dynasty slowly focused on the orders of the secret edict.

The mansions of Chai Shao and others became the base camp for restoration.

Li Shimin is now replaced by the word tyrant in their mouths.

The tyrant Li Shimin left Chang'an and went to the Western Regions, which was naturally a great thing. In their plan, they were going to wait for Li Shimin to take his army to the Western Regions. At that time, it was time for the uprising.

"When the tyrant enters the Western Regions, we will launch a timely manner to control Hanjing in one fell swoop and welcome His Majesty to restore the throne. At that time, the imperial edict will be ordered to depose Li Shimin." Pei Ji said with his fist.

This is a special political change.

Three years ago, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan was caught off guard by his son Li Shimin, allowing Li Shimin to enter the palace directly, control the emperor, and then seize control of the center.

This time, they also decided to control the capital first.

Although Li Shimin still led the army outside and would fight back at any time, this is also a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that he cannot capture the thief and the king, and he can directly capture Li Shimin. If he can catch Li Shimin, everything will be fine.

However, there are also benefits. If Li Shimin is in Beijing, there are tens of thousands of Northern Imperial Guards who are loyal to him, it would be too difficult to change the mutiny and control the imperial palace and the emperor and then control the central court.

Now that the tyrant is gone, the capital is empty, this is an opportunity to take advantage of.

Pei Ji believed that when the Supreme Emperor was restored and the world was ordered, a situation of confrontation between Li Yuan and his son would be formed.

This situation is a very good success for them now.

In the end, it is unknown who wins and who loses, but he believes that their side may win more.

The truth of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, until now, the tyrant has not dared to announce the world. He has always been promoting the Prince Jiancheng and Yuanji Palace Incident, and he is the rescuer.

But if the Supreme Emperor is restored and the father and son are in opposition, the whole world will know what the fact was back then. And the son made his father's rebellion, and now the father and son are in opposition. I believe that the people in the world will definitely be more willing to stand on the Supreme Emperor's side by then.

"Once we seize the center, we can immediately control the capital. Then Your Majesty immediately ordered the world to announce the truth about the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and to order the world to abolish the demonic magic of the tyrant Li Shimin and minister Li Chao. At that time, the scholars and people in the world will inevitably respond and support His Majesty together."

Chai Shao nodded.

"The tyrant Shimin took away a large number of imperial guards in the capital and took away many soldiers from the Nanya government from nearby. It is the time for the defense to be empty, and we have contacted many generals and schoolmen from the Nanya government, and they all expressed their willingness to support His Majesty to restore the throne."

"How many people are there now?" Pei Ji asked.

"Now there can be about 3,000 soldiers from the north and south."

"Too little." Pei Ji shook his head.

"The servants of each family can also make up two or three thousand."
