Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 114: The Conspiracy to Force the Concubine
"Pretending to force the palace is to create the illusion of forcing the palace, so that the emperor has no choice but to designate the second prince as the crown prince."

Shangguan Cheng said with a smile.

The second prince he refers to is Dugu Yi's son Murong Yao, who is ten years old and only one year younger than Murong Xian.

However, this boy is stronger than Murong Xian. He has dominated his brother since he was a child, and he has a bit of an emperor's appearance.

However, Murong Xian was gentle and distinguished in literary talent. If he could ascend the throne and become emperor, he would be regarded as a Confucian monarch.

The two princes were both excellent, and the forces behind them were both huge, which made it difficult for Murong Yuan to make a decision.

After the assassination of Qiu Lie, Murong Yuan knew that he must establish a crown prince to avoid accidents and being leaderless.

"Illusion? How to create this illusion? Tell me quickly."

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up and she seemed to be interested.

"This illusion is that the army is pressing down on the territory and forcing the emperor to submit. As for the detailed plan, I already have a general plan here."

Shangguan Cheng showed a mysterious smile.

This old guy is worthy of being the think tank of the Shangguan family, otherwise he would not be reused by Shangguan Fengyi.

Dugu Shenyong and Dugu Yi looked at each other and were shocked by Shangguan's words.

The seemingly unsolvable situation is nothing at all in front of these scheming guys.

"Speak quickly! Stop being so pretentious!"

The Queen Mother urged with a smile.

"Dugu Marquis has 30 troops in his hands, and the old minister also has [-] imperial guards. As long as the queen mother can get the tiger charm and mobilize these troops and horses, when the time comes, the emperor will throw the rat weapon, and the imperial capital will definitely not be plunged into chaos. She will definitely listen. According to the Queen Mother, the second prince will be crowned His Royal Highness."

"There are several key points here. First, the Queen Mother needs to obtain the military talisman so that Dugu can bravely mobilize the army."

"Second, I want to isolate the palace. No news from outside can enter, and no news from inside can be leaked."

"Third, at the right time, the Queen Mother showed her cards to the Emperor and told him that if he did not appoint a second prince, the army would march into the imperial city."

"The emperor will never watch 30 troops march into the imperial city and the imperial capital turn into a sea of ​​flames. He doesn't want the people to lose their lives. He will definitely agree to the Queen Mother's request and appoint the second prince as the crown prince."

Shangguan Cheng said eloquently.

The other three nodded repeatedly, with a bit of joy in their eyes.

"Although I have an army of 30, there are also [-] Guards and [-] city defense troops. Once a war begins, the chance of victory is not great!"

Dugu Shenyong frowned.

"That's why the old minister said that if the Imperial Guards are to isolate the palace from the outside world, so that the Imperial Guards and the city defense troops cannot get the news, then there will be no problem."

Shangguan Cheng explained.

"Actually, there is really no need to worry about this. The Ai family is sure that the emperor will not take risks and will definitely agree to the Ai family's request."

Shangguan Fengyi interrupted with a smile.

"Queen Mother, even if the emperor gives in and appoints Yao'er as the crown prince, the emperor will definitely settle accounts with us in the future."

Duguyi said worriedly.

Even if this thing comes to pass, the emperor will settle the score later, that's for sure.

If you don't think about the following things, this fake vagina will be completely unnecessary.

"Hahaha... Don't worry about this. Once Yao'er is appointed as the crown prince, the emperor will fall ill and the queen mother and Concubine Yi will handle the affairs behind the curtain. What do you think?"

Shangguan Chengle laughed.

The emperor falls ill?
This is just a euphemism.

Another theory is that the emperor was imprisoned, or that an old injury relapsed and he has been in rest.

The Empress Dowager had a ninth-level master like Eunuch Yan, and it was only a matter of words to seriously injure or kill Murong Yuan.

Dugu Shenyong and Dugu Yi looked at each other and were deeply shocked by Lord Shangguan's ruthlessness.

In fact, since Lord Shangguan's son was killed, he has become more sinister and vicious, and now even the emperor wants to ignore him.

In fact, the mastermind behind this incident was none other than his sister, Shangguan Fengyi.

Murong Yuan's disobedience made the Queen Mother want to replace him directly.

Since Murong Yuan's brother Murong Hong does not dare to come back, then young Murong Yao is undoubtedly the best choice.

Next, the four people discussed some details, and a conspiracy to force the palace was quietly staged. …

Early in the morning.

Lu Hao brought Lord Deng, the minister of Honglu Temple, into the palace and began to arrange the palace banquet for tomorrow night.

The royal banquet was held in Changqing Palace.

This is the celebration palace where the emperor would reward the soldiers for their merits and encourage them after each victory.

It was also the place where Lu Hao met Nalan Xiuting for the first time.

The state banquet hosted for the two princesses was of a very high standard, and many princes, ministers, concubines and dignitaries were invited.

Although Tobe Hongluji Temple is in charge, the imperial dining room in the palace is the focus.

"Master Lu, I have to trouble you to confirm the list of banquet guests in each palace."

Master Deng handed the list in his hand to Lu Hao.

"This is no problem. I will take care of it right away."

Lu Hao readily agreed.

He was worried about how to avoid such boring arrangement work. Now he could go for a stroll in various palaces and left with a happy heart.

Along the way, Lu Hao went to the concubines and nobles to confirm the list of people who would be present tomorrow night.

Of course, the main reason is to worry that if an assassin sneaks in, it will be difficult to explain to the emperor.

Lu Hao first went to Yiquan Palace and fooled around with Concubine Yi, and then went to Concubine Li.

Finally, he went to Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has two more Shangguan family sons on her list this time, and she obviously wants to go deep into the court.

After all, Chen Lin killed three promising juniors in one go last time.

This time, the Queen Mother began to make plans again.

"These two gentlemen are..."

Lu Hao looked at the list and wondered.

"These two are juniors of the Shangguan family. One is Shangguan Lin's eldest son, and the other is his cousin. Together, they are all grandchildren of the Ai family."

The Queen Mother introduced with a smile.

"Since they are members of the Empress Dowager's family, I naturally believe in their identity and will not conduct any investigation."

Lu Hao smiled flatteringly.

Everyone who originally attended the royal banquet must investigate the situation, otherwise, if an assassin pretends to sneak in, it will be troublesome.

If Lu Hao didn't do the investigation, he would be giving face to the Queen Mother.

"Then thank you so much, Mr. Liuzi."

The Queen Mother said with great joy.

"After the errand is done, the servant will resign!"

Lu Hao said goodbye.

"Xiu Ting, please send Master Lu off."

The Queen Mother was in a good mood and asked Nalan Xiuting to see Lu Hao off.

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

Nalan Xiuting responded.

After the two of them left the hall, Nalan Xiuting quietly approached Lu Hao and slipped a note to him while there was no one around.

Lu Hao understood this and walked out of Cining Palace holding the note.

When he walked to a remote place, Lu Hao saw no one around him. He took it out and saw a sentence written on the note.

"The Empress Dowager conspired with Shangguan Cheng, Dugu Shenyong, and Dugu Yi for two hours last night in Cining Palace. What exactly was the ominous plot?"
