Emperor Wen was not surprised by Liang Chao's answer.
After all, the gentry clans were powerful and could not be disintegrated overnight.
Even if he didn't dare to fight it head-on.
Because of this, he pretended to be sick and let Liu Yikang temporarily take over the government.
He wanted to transfer this pressure to Liu Yikang.
"It seems that in the days to come, I will have to give Fourth Brother more help. If he is too defeated by the Shi clan, then these old things will change their target to me again…"
Emperor Wen of Song said again with a sinister smile on his face,
On the other side, it was Liu Yikang.
Naturally, he was unaware of what was happening in the palace.
At this moment, he had already returned to the Imperial Residence.
Under the arrangements of Liu Yixuan and the servants in the manor, the banquet was basically arranged.
Outside the Imperial Residence, Yu Huatian and the others were also prepared.
He was waiting to make his move.
In the afternoon, the people from the Heavenly Fragrance Dance Studio entered the residence.
Among them, the leader was Shen LiGe!
"Father, mother, watch from the sky. I'm going to take revenge on you!”
Shen Lige followed everyone into the Imperial Residence's main doors and the conversation with his Master surfaced in his mind once again.
Senior Sister, I'm a little scared!"
Entering the courtyard where the dancers were preparing to rest, a woman in the room said nervously,
" Don't be afraid. As long as everyone follows the plan, we will definitely be able to kill King Pengcheng and eliminate the evil for the people of the world…"
Shen Lige opened his mouth to encourage, preventing everyone's mood from being affected.
And just as Shen Lige and the others were preparing.
Lu Yuan wasn't idle either.
He began to order his subordinates to smear kerosene all over the study room of the Prince's mansion.
The reason why Lu Yuan did this was because…
It was because he had long gotten people to inquire about Shen Lige and the others who were invited by Liu Yikang to perform the dance.
They were actually a group of assassins.
Therefore, he had the idea of fishing in troubled waters and killing Liu Yikang.
As for the plan, it was simple.
He had someone lure Liu Yikang here and had someone block the door and set it on fire.
At that time, even if Liu Yikang died.
He could also blame it on the assassin.
However, Lu Yuan didn't know that all of his actions were being monitored by Liu Yikang.
At the same time,
On Peacock Stage's side, Liu Yikang was also ready.
There were about 200 people guarding this place.
However, they were all from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After all, when Shen LiGe and the others assassinated later, the blades and spears would have no eyes.
Liu Yikang didn't want his men to die for nothing.
Soon, night fell!
The sky gradually darkened.
Consort Sun arrived with Liu Yikang, Liu Yixuan, and the others.
He sat at the center of the table.
As for the people accompanying him, they were Liu Yikang, Liu Yixuan, Xie Yunzhi and the others.
At this moment, the Liu clan relatives came to congratulate him.
However, it was mainly the people from Empress Sun's maiden family. The leaders were Lu Yuan and his son.
Of course, Xie Yunzhi's elder brother also came to represent the Xie family.
He handed over a calligraphy treasure that the Xie family had treasured for many years.
It could be said to be extremely precious.
When Empress Sun saw this, she was also delighted and praised the Xie family.
At the side, Lu Yuan's father watched anxiously.
He hurriedly shouted,
"Yuan-er, where are our gifts?"
After all, they were the family of Empress Sun. Today was Empress Sun's birthday celebration.
It was a good opportunity to curry favor with Empress Sun.
The Lu family naturally could not lose face.
Compared to Father Lu's anxiety, Lu Yuan was much calmer.
However, she still listened to Father Lu's instructions.
He immediately stood up and said,
"Imperial Consort, the flood in River East has receded. Today, it can be said to be a double blessing. Nephew dares to join in the fun and share aunt's joy. I offer you something…"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, many people present were also quite curious.
What gift was Lu Yuan going to give?
Only Liu Yixuan looked disdainful because he had already guessed it.
What was the thing that Lu Yuan was talking about?
It was none other than the triumphant scene painting that Lu Yuan had coerced Mr. Wen to draw a few days ago.
The truth was just as Liu Yixuan had guessed.
As Lu Yuan spoke, two maidservants immediately walked forward with a scroll of painting.
The two maids opened the scroll.
Lu Yuan's voice sounded again,
"When Emperor Gaozu fought hard in Pengcheng, the imperial concubine danced in front of the military flag to raise the morale of the army. The imperial concubine's heart was as bright as the sun and the moon!”
" Finally, Emperor Gaozu returned triumphantly. He set the rules of the court and created our dynasty. This scroll is the scene of that day…"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Empress Sun was naturally overjoyed.
This flattery could be said to have completely hit her heart.
He immediately praised with a satisfied expression,
"Good, great!"
However, soon after, Empress Sun's face revealed an emotional expression as she said,
" Unfortunately, my legs have a cold disease. I can't jump on this military parade…"
Lu Yuan had a smile on his face. Seeing this, he hurriedly said,
"Consort Dowager need not be sad. I heard that in order to celebrate your birthday, His Highness King Pengcheng specially invited the capital's number one dancer. Today's dance is to send the army off!”
