Chapter 723 Pang Qingping's Plan
Su Wanwan, her mother, Shen Zhao and Yue'er were drinking tea in the teahouse.
Yun Yi did not come out with them. He had been secretly protected by Huo Yuan and his uncle and others. They didn't even know where Yun Yi was.
Seeing Pang Qingping riding on his horse with high spirits, the Marquis Wu'an in front of him had a serious face and no smile.
Speaking of which, these two people have always lived in Huo Yuan's mouth here, and this is the first time she has seen them.
Marquis Wu'an is not very old. I heard that he is only in his early fifties. However, looking at his current appearance, he looks like a man in his sixties, forming a sharp contrast with Pang Qingping behind him.
There were several carriages following behind, which did not seem to be carriages for people, but rather for storing things.
I heard from Yun Zheng that Pang Qingping's wife Ming Sanniang should be dead, and Yun Zheng dragged her to be buried with him before she died, so they died together.
It is said that they were a loving couple, but now that his wife is dead, Pang Qingping is so high-spirited and doesn't show any sadness at all. It is really ironic.
Su Wanwan didn't watch for too long, she knew that those who practiced martial arts were very sharp.
She came out today just to watch the fun and see if she would meet Yun Xian.
I don’t know if Yunxian is still alive.
Thinking of that silly uncle, Su Wanwan still felt a little regretful.
I don’t know whether he wrote that letter on purpose for them to see or whether he truly repented.
No matter which one it is, he was involved in the mining incident and is doomed to be guilty.
When Marquis Wu'an returned to the capital, naturally many people wanted to visit him, but they were all rejected and told to wait until after the court meeting, as they were tired from the long journey and needed to rest.
Think about it, it’s the same when we greet each other at the court meeting.
This court meeting usually lasts three days.
From morning till night, two whole days.
After all, there are so many ministers, and a lot of time would be wasted if each of them reported on their work.
On the third day, a banquet was held to welcome the expatriate officials back to Beijing.
But this year the banquet was cancelled and it became two days.
Pang Qingping has been well behaved these days since returning to Beijing, and has not even visited any officials.
Everything seems peaceful.
As the court meeting was about to begin, Pang Rong finally met Yun Xian.
Yun Xian's face was covered in bruises, but he was cleaned up and his clothes changed. However, he stretched out his hands, and his thin arms betrayed him.
Pang Rong was heartbroken, and the father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Pang Qingping just watched them crying.
"Let's not talk about anything else. If I expose your relationship, it will be a capital crime. So, now the three of us are in the same boat."
After saying this, he stood up and walked to Pang Rong:
"Father, we will go to court tomorrow. You should know what to do. Everything should be ready. There are 10,000 troops at the north gate of the capital, and 10,000 troops at the south gate. The capital has less than 6,000 troops. It is obvious who will win."
"I know you and your son have no desire for power right now. As long as these two days pass, I will let you live in seclusion in the mountains. You have a deep father-son relationship, so you can live your life however you want in the future. I will never interfere."
Pang Qingping is still painting a rosy picture for them.
The father and son looked at each other.
"what do you want me to do?"
Pang Rong looked at Pang Qingping. He knew that he was asked to meet Yun Xian today because he must have some arrangements for tomorrow.
“I want you to appeal in the court tomorrow that the current emperor’s identity is fake. Old Master Huo helped him to ascend the throne for the sake of the country. No one can prove that he is a royal family member who has been exiled. However, the Huo family knows in their hearts that he is a fake. So after he ascended the throne, he has always wanted to get rid of the Huo family to prevent future troubles!
For this reason, he killed loyal people and was ungrateful. Even the mine incident was his conspiracy, and his purpose was to get rid of the Huo family. In fact, it was he who ordered Huo Xiangxi to mine the mine. "
After saying this, he took out a handwritten note from his bosom.
The handwritten note was extremely realistic, and it was actually a secret order written to Huo Xiangxi.
"Father, take this. There are many people in the court who are skeptical of his identity. If you do this, it will surely arouse the indignation of the old ministers. Then, when the north and south gates are opened, our troops can attack the city in the name of revenge for the loyal Huo family. With your prestige, you can make a call and the ministers will surely surrender.
Our plan this time is flawless, no one even dares to call us a rebel, the Heaven is dead, the royal family is annihilated, the bloodline is right, the Yellow Heaven Order is established, and we are legitimate. "
Pang Qingping was full of pride when he spoke of this, his eyes emitting a glow of ambition.
It was as if he was already the king of this world.
Pang Rong received the imperial edict and took a look at it. It was so realistic that even he, an old minister, could not tell the real thing from the fake.
"Remember what you said today. You also know that I have prestige. I can send you up, but even if you ascend to the throne, I can also pull you down."
He threatened and looked at his son again.
He would do anything for his son.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about me..."
Yunxian shook his head gently, looking at the white hair by his father's ears, he choked with sobs and was unable to speak.
Pang Rong stroked his hair with a loving look on his face.
"Don't worry about it. He's right. We've come this far and there's no turning back. Listen, take advantage of the chaos and leave here. Never return to Beijing and live your life in hiding from now on."
Pang Rong leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Pang Qingping looked over, and Pang Rong was not afraid, and even turned to look over.
The father and son looked at each other, neither of them seemed willing to show weakness:
Pang Rong said sternly:
"This is my last request. I don't care how you treat him now. Tomorrow when the army enters the city, you will release him and let him go wherever he wants. I promise that he will never appear again."
"I will ask Ali and Yuan in the mansion to follow him. We must send him away when the time comes. I will act according to your plan after receiving the news. Don't threaten me again. The worst that can happen is that both of us will die."
Pang Rong naturally did not trust Pang Qingping. Ali and A Yuan were his loyal servants and had been staying in the house in the capital to take care of the business.
He could only trust them now.
"Think about it carefully. Without me, you might be able to lead the army directly into the palace, but you would be a real traitor. Moreover, you would be in a passive position if you cannot enter the palace."
Given Pang Qingping's position, he will not be able to enter the main hall tomorrow.
He could only stand in the square outside the hall with those low-ranking officials and wait.
Pang Rong was sure that he dared not fight to the death, as he still needed his prestige and the support of others.
Since ancient times, although it is said that history will be written by the successful, which rebellious group would rebel without any reason?
Even if a traitor succeeds, he will be criticized by future generations.
Of course, Pang Qingping could also raise his own voice and use the emperor's status to make a point, but he could not take the initiative in the square. There were even many palace guards there, so he had no chance to speak.
