Chapter 504 Lu Cong's Death

Qiu Yan was kept in prison for several days, and his torture ended for half his life.

On the fifth day, it was late at night.

The prisoners in charge of guarding the prison were drowsy and the cells were particularly quiet.

Another team of jailers came to the prison and woke others up for a change of duty.

After the handover between the two sides was completed, the new arrival was obtained as a prison guard. One of them quickly came to Qiu Yan's cell and took out the key and opened the door.

When he heard the movement, Qiu Yan woke up because he had suffered a lot of torture and was covered in wounds.

The person who entered the cell was Qiu Yan's subordinate, another young eunuch. Qiu Yan was kept by Lu Cong, and he was a little powerful. He privately won over other eunuchs and established his own connections. The person in front of him was the one who had received many benefits from Qiu Yan and was the one who was the most loyal to him.

The young eunuch was named Hu Yu (hua). After coming in, he saw Qiu Yan's miserable situation and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "How dare these damn prison officials treat you like this?"

When Qiu Yan saw Hu Yan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and replied softly: "It has nothing to do with them, it is all instructed by Taichang Lu Huan!"

Hu Qing was immediately discouraged when he heard this name, because Lu Huan was Lu Gong's younger brother and the emperor's brother. How could he complain? So he whispered to Qiu Yan: "The young man has already taken care of him. These are our people outside. Later, our people will bring you a death row prisoner of similar size to you to replace you. When you get outside, you will use the water to burn him to death in prison and will definitely not recognize him!"

"You are too bold!" Qiu Yan suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, "Also, where do you have connections and money to bribe the prison guards?"

"I don't know either!"

"You don't know what it means?" Qiu Yan asked him in confusion.

"You are being held in prison these days. The little one is very anxious, but there is no way." Hu Qi replied, "Who would have thought that the night before yesterday, someone suddenly knocked on the small window and threw an envelope in. There was a list of a list and a treasure map. There were some names and seals on the list, saying that the villain could visit these people and get their help. As for the treasure map, a large number of gold and silver were dug out, and this thing was also available!"

As Hu Qi spoke, he took out a gourd from his arms and handed it to Qiu Yan.

Because of pain all over his body, Qiu Yan took the gourd tremblingly. When he opened the lid, he found that there were golden elixirs inside. He immediately understood: "Is there any rumor about this matter?"

"You are not stupid. How can you tell outsiders such a secret?" Hu Yu replied, "No one knows except the villain."

"Very good!" Qiu Yan felt relieved, "Where is the list? Who are the people available?"

Hu Yu groped on his body for a while, took out a list and handed it to Qiu Yan: "To be honest, I was shocked when I saw these names! I don't know who was behind him, but he was so powerful."

Qiu Yan took the list and checked it carefully with the torch light, showing a look of joy: "Great! If the list is correct, the situation can be reversed!"

"What do you mean..."

"If these people can really help, we can easily rescue Your Majesty!" Qiu Yan said excitedly, "With Your Majesty here, I would rather be fair for me."

"What are you waiting for? Please leave here with me, and the death row prisoner who will replace you will arrive soon." Hu Yu turned around and looked outside.

"After the death row prisoner is imprisoned, don't rush to do it." Qiu Yan ordered, "If you can rescue Your Majesty, I will be fine. If this matter cannot be successful, Lu Huan will not let you and me go. Then he will use a substitute to pretend to die and escape!"

"Little understand!"

With Hu Yu's help, Qiu Yan successfully left the cell and replaced him with a death row prisoner.

After coming out, Hu Yu hid him in his home, and then went out at night and quietly contacted the people on the list as Qiu Yan told him.

The list turned out to be true. Seeing Hu Yu submitting a secret letter printed with the shape of a dragon claw and only writing an address, these people quietly rushed to Hu Yu's house to meet Qiu Yan.

Those who came here were all officials of the Liang State, who had a place in the court.

Among them, the highest status is the prime minister and the chief official who assists the prime minister in handling various government affairs. It is really surprising that such figures are involved.

Other officials were both civil and military, and each had identities in the court, and were distributed in different positions.

Qiu Yan was actually quite surprised to see these people. He didn't expect that all the officials on the list really secretly formed an association.

After being surprised, he said to these officials: "You must be wondering. I should have stayed in prison, why did I come here, and summoned you to come late at night! Maybe you are a little despised by me because of my identity. But there are very important things to discuss with you at present, and please let go of your prejudice and work with me to rescue Your Majesty!"

These officials looked at each other, and the highest-ranking prime minister stood up: "Although I don't know why you are here, is this secret letter from you?"

While speaking, he took out the secret letter thrown by Hu Qi.

"That's right!" Qiu Yan lies on the bed and raises his head and responds weakly.

"Since that's the case, I have something to say!" the prime minister nodded and said, "Although I don't want to be with you, we have no choice."

It is obvious that these civil and military officials with unwilling faces must have had some handles to be arrested. Those who secretly cast the list must have secretly grasped them, making them unable to resist.

If you guessed correctly, those people belong to the same force as those who Qiu Yan knew.

No matter who those people are or their origins, as long as they are beneficial to them and can help them turn the tables, it doesn’t matter what else!

Thinking of this, he said to everyone: "The Queen and Taichang Lu Huan imprison Your Majesty, and the following are the ones who are wronged! They are unfairly accusing their loyal ministers and framed them wantonly. They must not sit idly by and watch them seize power and disrespect your Majesty! I hope you can help all your efforts and work together to save Your Majesty, to uphold the court's principles and uphold justice! Although the Queen, Taichang confuses all officials for a while, most of the ministers in the court will definitely obey the emperor's order. As long as Your Majesty escapes control, you will be able to reverse the situation! Whether this matter is difficult or not, you dare to try it with all your might? If things are accomplished, you will make a contribution to Your Majesty, and your future is promising!"

These civil and military ministers thought, how could we have any choice? So they all agreed.

Everyone formulates a plan together to calculate the role that their respective official positions can play.

Those who have connections can convince several imperial guards guarding the palace to help. Those who have the right to enter the palace can secretly bring other people into the palace. There are other conveniences in various departments. As long as it is useful for the plan, all of them can be arranged properly.

The most important point is that the palace did not know that these people would unite.

After the plan was formulated, Qiu Yan was injured and could not participate, so he was replaced by Hu Ju.

Everyone took their place and acted overnight.

Lu Huan did not expect that such a thing would happen under the feet of the emperor in Miliang City.

I thought the interior of the palace was very safe, and all the civil and military officials of the court supported them, and really wanted to save the emperor's brother and help him get rid of his addiction to medicine.

But I didn't expect this to happen.

While he was sleeping soundly at home, these officials took advantage of their convenience of positions and connections to successfully sneak into the palace and found a palace where Lu Cong was placed under house arrest.

A general pretended to pass Lu Huan's order, tricked the general who was guarding him out, knocked him out while he was unprepared, and quickly controlled the scene.

Everything went well, Hu Yu pushed open the door and entered the palace, and soon came to the bed in the bedroom.

Lu Gong slept very well after taking the medicine, and he couldn't wake up even if he called it like that.

So Hu Qing asked someone to wrap him up and carefully lifted him out.

Through the joint efforts of the officials, the sleeping Lu Gong was soon sent outside the palace and hid in Hu's home.

They also controlled several key places in the palace to ensure that the news would not leak, and at least it would not be known by outsiders before dawn.

As for after dawn, everything is easy to say as long as Lu Gong wakes up.

Even if the queen and Lu Huan were furious when he learned about this, these people would have the confidence to be with Emperor Lu Gong.

After all, Lu Cong is the real emperor of Liang State and has a high prestige. He must be quite angry when he is treated like this by the queen and Lu Huan.

Now that they have gained freedom and have the support of so many civil and military officials, they will confront the queen and Lu Huan at that time. How dare other civil and military ministers in the court openly oppose the emperor?

The final result must be that Lu Cong regained control of the situation, and that they who helped the emperor regain power would inevitably be valued.

Qiu Yan felt relieved when he saw Lu Gong being rescued.

The civil and military officials present did not dare to go home to rest. They summoned their subordinates and private soldiers to surround Hu Yu's home. Even if there was an emergency, they could ensure that the other party could not easily take Lu Gong away.

The key points inside the palace were also controlled, and others didn't know what happened. The general who was responsible for guarding Lu Cong was knocked unconscious, and his subordinates were controlled together, and they could not inform him.

It was not until the next morning that the queen went to visit the palace where Lu Gong was located early in the morning and found something was wrong.

Lu Huan was summoned immediately and told him that the emperor was missing. The general who was responsible for guarding him and his soldiers were imprisoned, and another army was guarding him here.

Lu Huan quickly appeared with his personal soldiers and confronted the other party. Then he learned that Lu Gong had left the palace at night, and as for where he went, the other party avoided him. The two sides were in a stalemate, and the palace was soon divided into two forces, and the confrontation became even more serious.

The queen, as she was, ordered the other party to put down their weapons and explain where Lu Gong was. The other party said that they only obeyed the emperor, so the confrontation went further.

On the other hand, Lu Gong woke up at Hu Yu's house and couldn't figure out the situation.

When he saw Qiu Yan, he realized that he had been rescued from the palace, and many civil and military officials helped him with all his strength. These were not the happiest thing for him. When Qiu Yan took out the gourd and handed over another batch of golden elixirs to Lu Gong, the emperor, who had been cut off for several days, was so excited that he could not imagine. While praising Qiu Yan's loyalty and righteousness and the loyalty of civil and military officials present, he quickly swallowed the golden elixirs to make up for the "losses" caused by the broken golden elixirs these days.

Qiu Yan and the civil and military officials at the scene thought he would only take one pill, and wait until the medicine was over, and then he took everyone into the palace to control the situation and reverse the situation.

No one expected that Lu Chong had not taken the Golden Pill for several consecutive days, and this period was very difficult. Now he finally got the Golden Pill. He thought that after so many days of failure, if he could not make up all of them, what if he could not successfully build the foundation in 7749 days?

As a result, I ate five or six pills in one breath according to the number of days, and it was too late for my subordinates to stop them.

Later, due to the effect of the medicine, he gradually fell into hallucinations. The situation was completely different from before and was almost crazy.

Everyone was frightened and hurriedly sent someone to summon the imperial physician. However, when the imperial physician arrived, Lu Gong had already bleeding from his seven orifices and died of untimely death.
