"Father, elder brother, younger brother, you all know that the Crown Prince, the Prince of Zhenbei, and Princess Xiangyun have left the capital with a large army, and the capital is short of troops. Now is the best time to take action."
Concubine Li said to her father, elder brother and younger brother that she had waited for this opportunity for a long time and now it had finally come.
"What? What are you going to do, daughter? Are you going to rebel?"
"Sister, does your brother not understand what you mean?"
"I know what sister means is rebellion. Sister, just because my nephew becomes the emperor, can I do whatever I want? I want to kill the King of Zhenbei and I want revenge."
Marquis Zhongyong said excitedly.
He would forever remember the embarrassment and humiliation inflicted upon him by Prince Zhenbei and Princess Xiangyun. He could never forget them. But their power was too great for him to touch. Now his chance had arrived. If he could help his nephew ascend the throne, he would be a royal relative, the emperor's uncle. Who would dare to bully him? His revenge would be easy.
He wanted to cut the Prince of Zhenbei and Princess Xiangyun into pieces, cutting off their flesh piece by piece, to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Concubine Li's surname was Zhang, and her name was Zhang Yanran. Her father was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and was given the title of Duke of Rong. Her eldest brother was the Left Front General of the military camp outside the capital. He inherited the throne and was given the title of Crown Prince Rong.
"Daughter, you must not do this. If you fail, our family will be finished."
"Yes, sister, we can start with the crown prince, frame him, make him lose the crown prince position, and then help my nephew become the crown prince. We must never do anything that involves treason."
"Brother, it's easy for you to say that, but it's not easy to talk about overthrowing the Crown Prince. I think my sister is right. Now is the best opportunity. As long as we control the Emperor and the Empress, the throne will be within our grasp. Don't be servile and cowardly. Those who accomplish great things must be ruthless.
As long as we succeed, will our entire clan be exterminated?
Then we will be filled with wealth and honor, and enjoy endless splendor and splendor."
"Sister, Second Prince, please tell me what you want me to do. I will do my best to help you."
Marquis Zhongyong did not want to give up this opportunity. As long as his nephew became the emperor, Prince Zhenbei and Princess Xiangyun would be at his mercy and he could take revenge on them.
"Thank you, brother. I feel relieved when you are around. When the emperor ascends the throne, you will be great contributors and become the emperor's uncle."
Seeing that her brother supported her, Concubine Li promised him that her son would be the backing of her family in the future.
She is very smart. Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, she will paint a rosy picture for her family.
Li Fei's father wanted to say something else but was stopped by his eldest son. At this point, even if his father opposed it, if his younger brother and nephew wanted to rebel and failed, they would all be killed along with their entire clan.
The only way is to help his nephew ascend the throne so that their family will not be exterminated.
Finally, they began to plot and came up with a good plan to leave the palace.
The emperor knew nothing about Concubine Li and the Second Prince. He was just thinking about which ministers should be sent to take over after the six cities were incorporated into Daliang's territory.
Twenty days after the Crown Prince and Princess Xiangyun left the capital, the situation in the capital was about to change.
The second prince bribed General Chi Wei of the military camp outside the capital and also bribed the imperial guards.
They planned to cooperate internally and externally to force the emperor to abdicate.
Concubine Li's father, the Right Minister, led his confidants to surround the residences of the ministers in the court, while the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery led his men to surround the Zhenbei Palace and the Xiangyun Princess Palace. However, they did not dare to act, after all, the people left by Gao Zhijun were not vegetarians.
Prince Rong brought soldiers from the camp outside the capital and met with the Imperial Guard in the middle of the night, surrounding the palace tightly.
Concubine Li brought the second prince to the Queen's Fengyi Palace, where the Emperor rested.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, this is bad. Concubine Li and His Royal Highness the Second Prince have surrounded Fengyi Palace with their men and are almost here."
Eunuch Zhang hurried over to report to the emperor and empress.
"What? Are they planning a rebellion?"
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
After hearing this, the emperor was furious and his face was full of anger.
The queen, however, was worried and looked anxious.
"Don't be afraid, Queen. I don't think they would dare to rebel. I have the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard."
The emperor comforted the queen.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have been bribed by the Second Prince and are now working for him."
"Eunuch Zhang, what are you talking about? The Imperial Guards have been bribed by the Second Prince. What should we do now?"
"Really good! They even dared to bribe the Imperial Guards. Has this been planned for a long time? Is he planning a rebellion?"
"What should the emperor do? The crown prince is not in the palace, and the Zhenbei prince and his men have left the capital with their troops. It may be too late to rescue the emperor."
The Queen was very worried that if Concubine Li and the others were to launch a coup, she would have no ability to resist.
"The Queen is quite self-aware and knows she can't defeat us."
At this time, Concubine Li just came in with the second prince and some guards.
"How dare you! This is the Queen's bedroom, how can you enter? Get out!"
When the emperor saw Concubine Li and the second prince bringing people into the queen's bedroom, he was furious and scolded them.
"Father, this will soon no longer be her bedroom. This will soon be the bedroom of my son, the future queen."
The second prince was not frightened by the emperor's anger. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now it was finally coming true.
"How dare you! As long as I live, this place will be the Queen's bedroom."
"Second brother, you broke into the Queen's bedroom in the dead of night. You deserve to die!"
The emperor's eyes were about to spit fire when he saw the second prince being so arrogant and not taking him seriously.
This shameless beast actually dared to break into Fengyi Palace at night. He is simply committing treason and deserves to be put to death.
