Chapter 285 All Ambitious Guys

Chapter 285 All Ambitious Guys

There were still a few days before the grand ceremony, and many strange faces suddenly appeared in Li Cheng.

The streets are full of people coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and it is very lively.

In fact, the original residents here have almost been replaced by those forces, and now it is a veritable dragon pool and tiger den.

As soon as the royal family entered the range of Li city, they would be surrounded by heavy siege.

It's hard to fly!

Weiyuan Palace.

"Is there any movement in the palace these days?" An old and rough voice asked.

A few men in black stood impressively in the shadow in front of them. If they didn't look deliberately, they almost merged with the surrounding darkness.

One of the men in black replied in a voice without any emotional fluctuations: "Master, these days the palace is using the name of decorating the palace of Licheng to make layouts inside and around..."

After the man in black finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a secret letter fell into his hand, and he presented it with both hands.

An old man with gray beard and hair walked out beside the old man, took the secret letter and handed it to the old man next to him.

This old man is none other than the current king of Weiyuan, Minyue.

King Weiyuan is the most powerful among the twelve kings, and has always been a serious threat to the court.

Of course, Minyue is also ambitious. What he wants is not to split off and become the emperor of a small country, but to directly replace it and become the real emperor of the Great Liu Kingdom.

It's just that after so many years of planning, now the opportunity has finally come, the right time, place and people...

Minyue twisted one end of the silk with his hand, and unfolded it with a flick of his hand. On it was the topography of the entire city of Li and the layout of the houses and streets inside.

Now, this topographic map is marked with different marks.

Those marks were the layout plans they found by monitoring the movement of the palace.

Min Yue looked up, his eyes darkened, and he immediately let out a "quack" laugh.

"Haha, such a small skill..."

Min Yue said contemptuously, and then told the man in black: "Go, continue to monitor every move of the palace."

The men in black respectfully agreed, and when they were about to leave, Min Yue suddenly asked: "By the way, have those stakes placed in the palace been found?"

The man in black replied: "In the past few days, the investigation in the palace has indeed been relatively tight, and three or four have been discovered, but those piles that have been built for more than ten or twenty years have no flaws."

And those who were discovered were deliberately showing their feet... After all, someone always needs someone to take the blame.

Min Yue groaned, and waved his hand, and the man in black quietly disappeared into the darkness just like when he came.

After the person left, the butler next to him said, "My lord, I suspect there is fraud in this."

Min Yue picked up the teacup on the table, put it to his mouth and took a sip, and said slowly: "Oh, let's hear it."

The old housekeeper: "I suspect that they plan to lay out the city of Li with such great fanfare, but it's actually just a cover. Maybe...they didn't even think about going to the city of Li."

After all, the relationship is so delicate now, not to mention outside the palace, even in the palace, assassins often assassinate the emperor, and they all want to sit on the throne.

Let alone going out of the palace. Therefore, there is a great possibility that the emperor and queen are just putting on a show, and the more they pretend, everyone thinks they will all go, but in fact they just send a substitute.

Just like them, although they promised to participate in this grand ceremony in person, they didn't plan to go at all, and they had already started arranging for a substitute.

Thinking of oneself and others, the emperor and empress thought so too.

Min Yue hummed, lengthened the ending, and said, "Continue talking."

The old housekeeper: "At that time, the power in the palace will inevitably be weak. We can activate the layout of the palace at the same time, and take down the real emperor and queen in one fell swoop. Here, the captured puppet emperor and queen just become pawns..."

Min Yue hummed again, he didn't seem to be interested in the housekeeper's idea, and his expression remained calm.

Suddenly he said something inexplicable: "Oh, how many years have passed, people's minds have changed..."

The housekeeper's heart jumped, and he couldn't help bowing his body, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Min Yue chuckled, his wrinkled face looked very gloomy: "Ten or twenty years have passed, under such circumstances, how many are still trustworthy?"

The housekeeper inexplicably felt a chill run up his spine... So, the lord has already suspected the stakes that were placed in the palace before?!

Na Yuhu is very good at using people, and he is also very good at winning people's hearts. Although he once gave them "the grace of knowing you" with those stakes, he also made them swear a heavy oath.

But people's hearts are made of flesh, decades of getting along with each other... It is not ruled out that they will have a real respect for Yuhu.

So Minyue actually doesn't trust those people at all, including the information they sent back.

Min Yue took another sip of tea, and slowly took out another piece of silk from his sleeve pocket, with the map of Licheng still drawn on it.

However, it is obvious that the marks marked on it are more detailed and denser than those presented by the man in black before.

The old steward was shocked. You must know that he is the person closest to the core authority in the entire Weiyuan Palace, and he is even more trusted than those princes. However, he has no idea when the Lord will rearrange the power. Another wave of people was recruited, and even more detailed information was obtained!

The hand of the old housekeeper holding the map trembled slightly, and he looked at the map carefully again, and suddenly took a deep breath.

The entire Li city was armed to the teeth, and the road from the imperial city to Li city was heavily guarded.

Even if there is any trouble in one of the links, it will be violently attacked immediately.

The point is that these kings want a coup d'état and also want to have a good reputation.

After all, the most important thing in this law of space and time is the words "righteousness and integrity".

The most taboo thing is killing fathers and brothers, which is unacceptable for the common anger of man and god. Of course, they have done these things for their own selfish desire for power, but they still need a fig leaf on the face.

And this fig leaf is to let some people act as "death squads" and pretend to be assassins from the enemy country to assassinate the emperor and empress.

In this way, they have the excuse of King Qin to send their troops to the imperial city...

However, if the Death Squad arranged to burp before even a bubble popped out, it would not be able to create momentum at all.

... The two old men discussed there for a long time.

Someone outside announced: "Second Prince seeks to see—"

The second son of King Weiyuan is now the most trusted Minqing.

Min Yue said, "Let him in."

Min Qing wore a light blue robe with a blouse of the same color, making him look more calm and introverted.

It has to be said that as a bastard who was not favored in the first place, he can stand out from a dozen sons, he is definitely not as gentle and harmless as he looks.
