Before the palace coup, Prime Minister Wei and Jiang Fulu started arguing again.

Xiao She remained calm and sat upstairs watching the fun.

After the Wei family fell, Jiang Fulu had no rival among all the officials except Xie Zhao.

But Xie Zhao is Jiang Fulu's son-in-law, and they are essentially a family.

Xiao She rubbed his chin. He felt like a tool being dominated.

"Jiang Fulu, you old man, are you trying to cause trouble at the palace banquet?"

Prime Minister Wei was very angry, but he didn't come here for a banquet anyway, so he didn't worry about spoiling the fun.

Censor Lu stood up and said with a stern face, "Minister Wei, this is where you're wrong. Just now, during the singing and dancing, you mocked Lord Jiang as the reincarnation of a starving ghost. Have you forgotten?"

"Your Majesty, I heard it too."

Yu Jijiu stood up and saluted, then added more fuel to the fire.

Prime Minister Wei: “…”

These three bastards are in the same group, the only difference is that they are wearing the same pants!

Xiao She had seen enough of the excitement and tried to smooth things over, "Minister Wei, today is a palace banquet. I will entertain all the officials. There will be plenty of food and drink."

The implication is that Prime Minister Wei is meddling in other people's affairs.

Now, Prime Minister Wei felt even more aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood."

Prime Minister Wei bowed and admitted his mistake reluctantly. After tonight, the world of Da Qi would change, and it was not certain who would sit in that position.

There's no loss in giving in a few steps in a verbal dispute.

Chief Minister Wei patted his chest and comforted himself secretly.

Unexpectedly, the anger that had just been suppressed was ignited again by Jiang Fulu, who said lightly: "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Prime Minister Wei is worthy of being the most important minister of Da Qi. His magnanimity is beyond our comparison!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Wei is brave enough to admit his mistakes. No wonder he is valued by the Emperor."

"Prime Minister Wei is a role model for all officials. We are ashamed to be inferior to him!"

Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu followed suit with sarcasm, and the small group was united once again as never before.

Prime Minister Wei: “…”

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

Otherwise, he might die of anger before the great changes in Da Qi.

By then, the Wei family will not be able to take advantage of this.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor and all the officials were a little tipsy.

Jiang Fulu knew that he couldn't drink much, so he didn't drink much water.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiao She thought it was almost time, so he stood up, rubbed his forehead and said, "I am tired, my dear ministers, please do as you please."

Before Xiao She could leave, there was a noise at the door of the palace.

Immediately afterwards, a large crowd of people poured into the hall. The royal guards were wearing armor and holding bows and arrows, with their arrows pointed towards the dragon throne.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao She looked at him coldly with a deep tone.

"Your Majesty, the meaning is very clear. We are only loyal to the Queen Mother."

The leader of the Royal Guards smiled sinisterly and ordered, "Shoot!"

In an instant, the hall fell silent, and then all the officials were frightened, but found nowhere to hide.

The guards around Xiao She stood in front of them, and the group retreated quickly.

Prime Minister Wei hid behind the desk, always paying attention to the emperor's reaction.

Seeing that the new emperor was unprepared, Prime Minister Wei felt relieved. When he looked around and signaled the Imperial Guards to arrest Jiang Fulu and his group, he found that Jiang Fulu was missing.

Several adults disappeared at the same time, all of whom were Jiang Fulu's followers.

"Quick, arrest Jiang Fulu and others!"

Chief Minister Wei did not hesitate to expose himself and named names.

Jiang Fulu and the other gentlemen, who were being missed by Prime Minister Wei, had already boarded the carriage.

In the capital, the imperial guards and the city defense forces were fighting in chaos.

Chaos broke out without warning, and the people in the inner city fled in all directions, telling each other what had happened.

Passing by Jiang Mansion, Jiang Fulu showed a look of reluctance, and then said to the driver Li De: "Hurry up and get out of the city!"

While the Xuan family members haven't reacted yet, stay away from trouble.

If my guess is correct, the Xuan family will quickly occupy the city gate.

After the city gates were closed, they were trapped in the capital, isolated and helpless, and at the mercy of others.

"Brother, you are really wise. I didn't expect that the Queen Mother had been secretly planning for a long time."

Censor Lu and Yu Jijiu were still in shock. When they received the news, Jiang Fulu had already arranged everything.

If the three brothers had not united before, the Lu and Yu families would have been loyal to the emperor and would have been liquidated by Queen Dowager Xuan, with confiscation of property being the least of their punishment.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is the Lantern Festival.

Some people in the city have not received the news yet and are enjoying the lanterns with their families.

Li De was familiar with the route, and he successfully left the city gate with the token and headed for the refuge that Jiang Fulu had already prepared.

The group escaped in time, but things became difficult for the officials in the palace. All the officials and their families were tied up. The hall was filled with the smell of urine, and no one knew who had peed his urine because of the rebellion.

The Queen Mother Xuan came to the main hall with her maids and quickly covered her mouth and nose with a scented sign. Then she set her sights on Chief Minister Wei and asked, "Where is Jiang Fulu?"

The first thing he did after taking office was to confiscate the property and kill the entire family.

Jiang Fulu was a shrewd fence-sitter and didn't need to die so quickly. However, the Queen Mother hated the Jiang family, so she didn't believe that if she really punished him, would it bring about divine punishment again?

Xie Zhao's little trick can only keep the secret for a while.

Wei Shoufu shook his head and said disappointedly: "I didn't see it either."

When the Imperial Guards rushed in and shot arrows, Jiang Fulu and his men escaped!

Wei Shoufu realized it later and said suspiciously, "No wonder I saw that old thief Jiang Fulu gained weight. It turns out he was wearing armor!"

It can be seen from the facts that Jiang Fulu was well prepared for the Xuan family's actions.

"Queen Dowager, does Xie Zhao have a backup plan?"

Chief Minister Wei was not afraid of Jiang Fulu, but of Xie Zhao.

Xiao She sent Xie Zhao to the north, but he never returned. Was he waiting for Xie Zhao to bring people to rescue him?
