The next evening, Yuan Dun sent someone to ask Mu Tai and Lu He to come to the mansion to talk, saying that it was last night and there was already a glimpse of it.

Mu and Lu were overjoyed and hurried to go.

After entering the mansion, Yuan Dunxian made a statement, generally agreeing with their plans and willing to stand independent in Pingcheng for the future of the Xianbei people, but he was still a little uneasy and wanted to meet all those involved in the plan to strengthen his confidence.

Mu Tai immediately made arrangements and waited two days later, in the attic of Chenxiangfang, Pingcheng, in the name of celebrating Yuan Chao, the son of Nanyang King Yuansheng, invited Yuan Dun to attend.

There were eight people during the meal, including Yuan Dun, Mu Tai, Lu He, Yuan Chao, etc., as well as Lu Song and Lu Cheng, sons of Lu Hong, the Secretary of the Secretariat who were previously dismissed.

Before the three rounds of wine were drunk, a large number of guards suddenly surrounded the agarwood floor. The phoenix appeared and arrested everyone without any distinction between high and low, and returned to the Southern Prison for interrogation.

Under the three woods, no one could withstand it. Mu Tai and others quickly confessed, but Luanniao was dissatisfied and said, "Yuan Dun is the second prince and has no power. How can you convince the public if you make him the master? Moreover, Yuan Dun does not oppose moving the capital, nor does he oppose sinicization. There is no reason to follow you to rebelliously and rebelliously. The master you really want is the prince, right?"

Lu He refused to admit it, and spitted blood and phlegm, saying, "Luanniao, if you want to kill, kill me, don't plan to let me slander the prince. We are Xianbei people, who live in Pingcheng for generations and do not want to go to Yedu, and we are not willing to be on par with those Han people who are only worthy of two-legged sheep. Today, if we fail to plan, we will just die!"

Lu He was hard, but others couldn't do it. Mu Tai was threatened by Luanniao: "If you confess the prince, I can let you bear the blame alone, and you don't have to involve your wife, children and family. Otherwise, the disaster of the family will be in front of you."

What else can Mutai choose?

He has no choice!

Then there were others, plus the confession of Yuan Dun, a traitor, and the chain of evidence was established, and the prince could not get rid of the blame.

Luanniao went to see Lu He again and asked Mu Tai to persuade him. Lu He said angrily: "A real man will act, and he will be prosperous and wealthy. If he fails, he will die and his family will be destroyed. What's the point? I will not slander the prince, and you will not expect to succeed. In such a major case, Your Majesty will come to investigate personally. Do you think he has deceived him?"

"Mr. Lu is above his superiority, so it is also necessary not to understand the Southern Prison."

The phoenix found a barbarian whip from the many terrifying torture instruments hanging on the wall. Suddenly, the backhanded whip came over. The barbarian fell into pieces with blood and flesh. Lu He let out a shrill scream, which scared Mu Tai back three or five steps, and leaned against the wall, trembling.

The corners of the lips under the mask of the phoenix bird were smiling, and the whip in his hand was waving like a storm. Not long after, Lu He became a piece of ragged cloth and no longer moved.

"Duke Mu, do you understand? The person Hou Guan Cao wants to kill is so easy. Remember what you promised, I guarantee your family is safe, otherwise, your whole family will only die worse than Lu He!"

Mu Tai was sweating profusely, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only make a hoarse voice, saying, "You, aren't you afraid of Lu's revenge?"

"Revenge?" Luan Bird threw the whip, clapped his hands casually, and said with a smile: "Lu's family will be killed by the clan. If they have the ability, their ghosts can come to me... But I am not afraid of the living people, let alone the illusory ghosts?"

What's this?

This is a murderous aura that makes people and ghosts break free!

Mu Tai sat down dejectedly, and he finally understood the meaning of the three words Hou Guan Cao.

"What? Mu Tai, Lu He and others conspire to rebel?"

Yuan Yu, who was still in Yedu, received a report and carefully read the case reported by the Hou Guan Cao. He was immediately furious and ordered Cui Boyu to take the prince and temporarily imprison the East Palace, so he was not allowed to meet anyone. Then, regardless of his physical discomfort, he personally rode back to Pingcheng and headed straight to the Southern Prison.

In prison, Yuan Yu saw Lu He's body, and the emperor took the blame on him, saying that he had taken the action a little more severely. Lu He couldn't stand the punishment and died.

Yuan Yu didn't care about Lu He's life and death, and interrogated Mu Tai and others in turn. They confessed that they were going to rebel and become independent in Pingcheng under the name of the second prince Yuan Dun. When the emperor couldn't help but lead the commander, the prince occupied Yedu, and attacked Pingcheng, killed the emperor and the second prince, the prince ascended the throne, restored the old system of the previous dynasty, demoted the Han high officials, and restored the glory of the Xianbei people and their unique respect.

This is actually the real plan of Mu Tai, Lu He and others. They just kept it from the second prince, and in order to avoid pulling the prince into the water in advance, they also hid it from the prince.

Yuan Yu immediately crushed Lu He and brought his bones to ashes. Because Lu Hong's two sons were also involved, it showed that the entire Lu family was very resentful and directly ordered the entire Lu family to be sentenced to death, leaving no one in the family.

Subsequently, because Luanniao advised that the clan's killing of the Lu family was enough to alert many of the Xianbei surnames. It was not easy to implicate Taiguang. Yuanyu only sentenced Mu Tai and others to death, including Yuan Chao, the son of King Yuansheng of Nanyang.

After verification by the Hou Guan Cao, Yuan Sheng was not aware of it in advance, but he was demoted to a commoner. Among the royal family at that time, Yuan Sheng was the highest-age and had the most qualifications. He was suddenly demoted to a commoner, and everyone in the court and the country sighed.

The end of Mu Tai and Lu He and others, and the people who insisted on staying in Pingcheng had no intention and moved to Yedu obediently, was a story later.

In this incident, Yuan Dun had a firm stance and was not tempted. He actively reported to the Hou Guan Cao. He took risks with him, led the snake out of the cave, and cooperated with the capture of the rebels. He was praised by Yuan Yu and rewarded countless money and silk for imperial wine.

Yuan Dun refused firmly and said that he would use all the gifts given to him in Yedu.

This statement almost made Yuan Yu burst into tears. The nobles and relatives didn't understand. None of the ministers were worried. He had a hard time.

At least one of my sons who are sensible and stingy, but can they be stingy? They are immediately named King Zhao, Governor of Sizhou, General Anbei, and officially become the first person under the crown prince.

After solving the troubles in Pingcheng, Yuanyu rushed back to Yedu without stopping. He called the prince from the East Palace to the Tai Chi Hall, first scolded him, and then took a stick to prepare to whip.

King Chengyang, King Zhangwu and other brothers came in and tried to persuade him. Yuanyu was slightly calmed down, so he ordered King Chengyang to take a stick on him for a hundred times.

The King of Chengyang knew that this was the emperor's grace, so he started very lightly.

The prince was not stupid. Every time he hit him, he would scream sadly, which made the emperor feel soft. After only fifty beats, he waved his hand and ordered people to support him and was imprisoned in a different hall outside the western suburbs of Yecheng. The prince's ceremonial guards were still the same, and he should have lost the deposed prince's heart.

Luanniao was not disappointed with not being able to defeat the prince in one fell swoop. After all, the relationship between father and son for many years is not something that can be lost just by saying that it is lost, and the deposed prince is too much.

In the current situation, Yuan Yu had just completed the feat of moving the capital, and stability was the overwhelming priority, so he gave the prince a chance to survive.

"What do you think of the chaos in this time?"

He Ru asked Wang Liangce to drink, and Wang Liangce called the fifth prince Yuan Ke again, and the three of them rode on the lake, blowing the evening breeze, which was so comfortable.

"Me? I'm very glad that this is a fight between my brothers and it has nothing to do with me." Yuan Ke was still a little clever.

"oh?"
