In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

Wu Yi called Fei Yang over and explained some things to him in detail, and then the two of them began to work together.

Fei Yang couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "So that's how it is! Our mistress is so interesting, she is really a sinister person."

Wu Yi smiled and replied, "Yes, I like her like this."

Feiyang nodded in agreement: "Me too, I like it very much."

Then, Feiyang began to dress up as a person from the Western Regions. This was his second time playing this role, so he seemed very familiar with it.

Afterwards, Feiyang went to find the head of the Lu family and said to him: "Empress Lu is in some trouble now. The palace does not have enough money to hold a funeral. The Lu family is willing to provide silver, but the prerequisite is to form an alliance with the Zuo family and jointly recommend the second prince to become the new emperor."

"It's actually a transition. They want to make the baby in Concubine Zuo's belly the emperor."

Feiyang offered, "I can lend you as much money as you want."

The Lu family was getting anxious, waiting for news from the officials.

They only knew that the emperor was dead and the new emperor had not yet been decided. The Zuo family was more powerful than their Lu family, so how could the Lu family not be anxious?

Failure means the destruction of the entire family.

Lu Gongxiang asked nervously: "What conditions do you want?"

Fei Yang rolled his eyes, thinking of the business that the Qi family had, and then he said, "You have to give the profit. After the deal is done, you can become the royal merchant of cloth and spices."

"This……"

"It's not your Lu family that's paying, it's the royal family that's paying."

This sentence woke up the dreamer, and Lu Gongxiang immediately agreed, "Okay, you wait quietly."

"Okay." Feiyang agreed readily.

The Lu family immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the queen, "How much silver does your queen want? The Lu family will lend you money at high interest."

Empress Lu held the eldest prince in one arm and the third prince in the other. After hearing the words from the Lu family, she hugged the two princes and cried on the spot, crying even more sadly than when she heard that the emperor had died.

With the strong support of her family, Empress Lu felt more confident.

During the dispute in the palace, Empress Lu offered many benefits to the court officials in order to win their hearts.

"Increase your salary."

“Give us more holidays.”

"I am a woman and I don't care about state affairs. I have made the eldest prince the new emperor, and all affairs will be handled by the officials led by Prime Minister Pei."

With this said, all officials would certainly be willing to be an official who has a say.

Prime Minister Pei waited and saw what was happening and did not make any statement for the time being.

He was on guard against forcing the Zuo family into a corner, fearing that Commander Zuo would kill the legitimate prince directly.

In order to suppress the crowd, Commander Zuo called all the guards and surrounded the palace in three layers inside and outside.

His actions made civil and military officials very nervous and dissatisfied.

Minister Wu whispered to Prime Minister Pei: "Prime Minister, look, this world will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Zuo family."

Many officials think this way.

The officials don’t care which prince comes to the throne.

However, how could people feel comfortable if a general gained power and bullied the officials?

Over there, Wu Yi went to find General Cheng who was guarding the city and asked him, "Do you want to get promoted and make money?"

General Cheng recognized the man in front of him as the expert beside Miss Qi.

"I dream about it!" General Cheng said frankly.

"Your chance has come." Wu Yi said.

General Cheng asked, "What opportunity?"

"The merit of following the dragon!"

"Ah!" General Cheng was stunned.

Wu Yi whispered to him, "This is the best time. The harem is deciding on a new emperor. You lead your troops into the palace to protect the queen and the eldest prince."

"What if..." General Cheng was eager to take action, but also worried.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because you're a good person."

"Ah? I am still a good person?" General Cheng was surprised. He didn't understand what he had done to be valued by this great man.

General Cheng thought, "Since we are going to lead the army into the palace, we might as well go all out and get rid of the imperial guards besieging the Qi Mansion first."

Doing this would achieve three goals at once: it would save the Qi government from danger, repay the Qi government's kindness, and cut off the support of the Imperial Guards.

Otherwise, when he led his troops into the palace, Deputy Commander Niu brought his men to help Commander Zuo, and he would have failed.

General Cheng decisively issued an order to the city defense troops: "The palace has issued an order that Deputy Commander Niu is a traitor and a traitor. Get rid of him."

Many people in the city defense army knew what Deputy Commander Niu and his cousin had done in the palace.

Recognized them as "traitors"

The guards surrounding the Qi Mansion were unaware of the approaching danger. Their 20,000 men were divided into three groups.

Tens of thousands of city defense troops surrounded the imperial guards with weapons.

General Cheng shouted, "Put down your weapons, and we won't embarrass you."

Deputy Commander Niu came forward and pointed at General Cheng and asked, "Have you surrendered to the Qi government? Are you planning to rebel?"

General Cheng sneered, "You sell out your master for fame, do you think others are the same?"

"You are talking nonsense and misleading the people." Deputy Commander Niu roared.

General Cheng threatened to list the crimes of Deputy Commander Niu, "He killed the leader to seek credit and was awarded a high position. He killed a good person to seek credit and was rewarded handsomely..."

Everyone present understood these two things. The charges were serious and indeed true.

The first thing was that Emperor Ruifeng died inexplicably and was burned to death in his bedroom. At that time, Deputy Commander Niu was the captain on duty. He went to deliver a letter to the crown prince and set up a trap to have the second prince enter the palace and die on the charge of patricide. After the crown prince ascended the throne, he got a high position.

The second thing was that the late emperor ordered Deputy Commander Niu to look for the escaped guards of the second prince. However, Deputy Commander Niu ordered his men to kill the beggar, cut off the beggar's head, and took it to the emperor to claim credit and get reward silver.

"I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!" General Cheng drew his sword and stepped forward.

Deputy Commander Niu and his cousin teamed up to fight the enemy.

The two men were very strong and cooperated skillfully. After a fierce battle, General Cheng was at a disadvantage.

Just as he was about to lose control, suddenly a shadow swept by like a whirlwind.

The heads of the two brothers of the Niu family fell to the ground, and their headless bodies fell straight down.

When the guards saw that their leader was dead, they dropped their swords and surrendered.

Someone shouted, "General Cheng, our two teams are brothers, stop fighting."

General Cheng pointed at the imperial guards and cursed, "Do you still have any conscience? Who is responsible for the peace in this world? You are still surrounding the Qi Mansion, trying to raid their house and seize their wealth."

"If the Qi people are gone, after the New Year, foreign invaders will come and you will all die, but you will still be no match for their iron hooves."

"We were wrong!"

“We were just following orders.”

General Cheng glared and shouted, "If you know you are wrong, just leave here. Do you still want the Qi Mansion to invite you to the wedding banquet?"

The imperial guards thought that General Cheng was right, so they knelt down in shame, kowtowed to the Qi family and apologized, then stood up and left.

General Cheng called out from behind them, "Don't go to the palace and risk your lives for now!"

"Got it. Let's go chase the bandits." Thousands of guards ran out of the city, pretending to chase the bandits.

General Cheng laughed, "You even knew to hide outside the city."

Wu Yi appeared and praised, "General Cheng is more like the leader of the Imperial Guard than Zuo Xing. You have to work hard. I am optimistic about you!"

"Good!" General Cheng was filled with confidence after receiving encouragement and affirmation from the master.

He changed his voice and ordered, "Let's go into the palace to protect the emperor."

He also said bluntly: "If you can follow the dragon, you will enjoy prosperity for generations."

"Yes, General!"
