As soon as Li Yuanba heard Li Yiming's request, he didn't expect that Li Yiming himself was already brilliant and talented, and he would continue to study and read a wide range of books and learn Confucianism and Taoism.

As the saying goes, "The nine sons of the dragon are different!" Li Yuanba's princes are the same, why among the many princes, Li Yuanba has long determined Li Yi as the crown prince, as the future successor of the great unification, because Li Yi is among the many princes, and he shows his difference among the many princes when he is young!

As a child of the imperial dynasty, there will be all kinds of stinky problems or arrogant personality on his body, but Li Yi does not, Li Yi likes to read poetry and books when he is a child, studies classics, is well-informed, broad-minded, benevolent, and has the most outstanding ability among many princes, but in the eyes of Li Yuanba, he is the most suitable person to take over as the unification!

After Li Yi sat on the throne of the crown prince, he did not disappoint Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba was either in retreat, or cultivated, and the decision-making of general national affairs and the review of the chapters were all handed over to Li Yi for completion, and during the period of supervision, every department of the Tang Dynasty operated in an orderly manner, and on the basis of Li Yuanba's original, it went to a higher level!

The reason why Li Yi is different from other princes is because Li Yi's mother died of illness when Li Yi was three years old.

Before Li Yi's mother died, Li Yi was called to the bed, and Li Yi's mother asked Li Yi, do you want to be a mediocre prince, or do you want to be a prince who gets ahead?

Li Yi didn't have to think about it, and blurted out, I want to be a "prince"!

Then Li Yi's mother gave him a token of his mother's family, and asked Li Yi to hold the token and find his uncle, so that his uncle could teach him how to be a qualified prince

Li Yi's mother concubine is an ordinary family in Chang'an City, the Guo family! But in this ordinary family, starting from Li Yi's mother's concubine's generation, there is a generalissimo, Guo Ziyi, and a noble concubine, Guo Shiyi!

Li Yi was also under the guidance of Guo Ziyi, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, to learn the knowledge of the art of war, and his feelings were sophisticated, because his uncle was always a generalissimo, and his knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism was always a shortcoming, so he specially invited Confucianism to guide Li Yi!

And Li Yi found Zhou Lao in Xiangyang City, it seems to be a coincidence, and it was also under Guo Ziyi's instruction that he went to find it! This Zhou Lao's old injury had not healed at that time, but this was Li Yuanba's enlightenment teacher, and his influence on Li Yuanba was deep in the bone marrow! If Li Yi could get Zhou Lao's approval, then even if the crown prince was a big tree with deep roots in Xuanyuan Luan's mother's family, it would not affect Li Yi's inheritance of the unification in the future!

After all, the Tang Dynasty is not a subordinate of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and whoever Li Yuanba chooses as his successor is someone else's family matter!

Li Yi, he worked hard enough, and there was an uncle of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses standing behind him, and now with the support of Zhou Lao, he was basically the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he didn't make a mistake, his position as the prince was as stable as Mount Tai!

In the current Prince's East Palace, the Prince's Bedroom, it was already night at this time, Li Yi was on the desk, still reviewing the folds, and suddenly, a "whoosh" sound broke the silence of the East Palace!

Li Yi didn't raise his head, still reviewing the folds, but he knew in his heart who was coming: "Cousin, come to visit late at night, what's the matter!"

I saw a man wearing a night robe all over his body, wrapped in a black night robe, revealing only a pair of embarrassed eyes, jumped down from the east palace room and opened the mask!

"Cousin, I just knew that you were obsessed with Confucianism, but I didn't expect you to fall behind in your cultivation!

Li Yi finally finished reading the last book on the table, put it away, put down the Danzhu pen in his hand, rubbed his temples, and saw that Li Yi also spent some time on the fold!

"Cousin, don't make fun of me, you are only three months older than me, but you are already a Jindan monk, and I am still building the ninth layer of the foundation, I can't compare with you!

The person who came was Guo Ziyi's eldest son, Guo Pojun! That is, Li Yi's cousin! Usually, he followed Guo Ziyi to deploy troops at the border fortress and train soldiers and horses, and generally had nothing to do, or changed military affairs, and a family like the Guo family, which held the generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty, could not return to the imperial capital at will!

"Cousin, if there is nothing important, how can I go back to the imperial capital in person, and I still dress up like this, looking for you late at night, if I let Your Majesty know, this is a big taboo crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!"

As soon as Li Yi heard that there was something important, he hurriedly activated the protective prohibition of the East Palace, and the conversation between the two at this time was instantly cut off from the outside world!

"Cousin, although this is the East Palace, I still have to open the ban to avoid ears on the wall!

Guo Pojun replied: "Cousin, you told me that Princess Ning'er had been poisoned by a very strange poison, and my father has already found out that it is the "Stunning Demon Queen Mandala", which ranked fifth on the ancient poison list!

Li Yi was puzzled: "My cousin is poisoned, what other secrets can there be?"

"Cousin, don't you know, this "Stunning Demon Queen Mandala" is mainly based on the poison of "Mandala" as the main medicine, and then supplemented by more than 3,000 other poisons to refine together, not to mention that this formula belongs to the poison of the ancient period, just say that now you are given a ready-made formula, even if you are a prince, you can't search for so many spirit herbs and elixirs for a while! My father went to check according to this guess! I don't know if I don't check! I was shocked when I checked it! Guess what?"

Li Yi was stunned by Guo Pojun's words! What is so strange about this poison?

"Cousin, say it quickly, don't sell it! Doesn't this make me anxious!"

Guo Pojun saw that Li Yi was so anxious, and he didn't plan to sell Guanzi, so he said it truthfully!

"Cousin, my father has ordered someone to investigate the entry and exit records of the spirit herb elixir in Chang'an City in the past three months! I found a small medicine shop, and in the past three months, it has actually purchased a large number of 1,000 third-grade herbs, 1,000 fourth-grade spirit herbs, 1,000 fifth-grade spirit grasses, and 500 six-grade spirit herbs!

Li Yi didn't think it was strange at first, there was nothing strange about a prescription going in and out of medicinal materials, but when he heard the quantity, especially the five or six grades of spiritual grass, not to mention a small medicine shop, the treasure pavilion in Chang'an City may not be in stock, and the value is even more astronomical!

"Cousin, the third- and fourth-grade spirit grass can be bought with Yuan Jing, and the fifth-grade and sixth-grade spirit grass, that is not such a quantity that can be won by a small medicine shop, and the value, it is estimated that tens of millions of top-grade Yuan Crystals can not be used?

Guo Pojun looked incredulous when he saw Li Yi, just like when he first heard the news, it was normal!

"Who said it wasn't! When I first heard my father tell me, I and you had the same expression! When something goes wrong, there must be a demon! So I arrived in Chang'an City half a month ago, and followed the clues given to me by my father to check all the way.

Li Yi said anxiously: "Cousin, you actually arrived in Chang'an City half a month ago, and you have been secretly investigating?

Guo Pojun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, he replied firmly: "Based on the various clues and evidence I have collected, the master behind the collection of so many spiritual grasses is Li Hongyuan, the second prince of Xihua Palace!"

Li Yigang took a cup of tea in his hand and just wanted to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat, but when he heard that it was Li Hongyuan, the cup fell directly to the ground, and the tea and cup fragments were scattered all over the ground!

"Li Hongyuan, why is he collecting so many spirit herbs and elixirs? Don't tell me, he can't practice a peerless divine pill?"

Guo Pojun laughed: "Cousin, do I mean you are simple, or do I mean that your city is too shallow!"

Li Yi was even more confused: "What is my cousin laughing at me? How many spiritual herbs and elixirs are collected, not to practice a furnace of divine pills, he Li Hongyuan has a lot of money?"

Guo Pojun said bluntly: "I didn't practice a furnace of peerless divine pills! I practiced a furnace of the ancient "Stunning Demon Queen Mandala"! The fifth poison in the auction of the ancient poison list!"

Li Yi directly questioned: "Impossible! Li Peining is Li Hongyuan's own sister, how could he attack his own sister! Isn't he afraid that his father will know?"

Guo Pojun seemed to have known that Li Yi would not believe it, and directly took out two lists: "Look at it yourself, these two lists, one is a list of those spiritual grasses purchased by Li Hongyuan, if you just look at this list, I also think you think he is practicing a furnace of divine pills, but the other list is the eight-grade poisonous grass "Mandala" that the "Treasure Pavilion" transferred from Li Hongyuan's Eastern Shenzhou headquarters!

Li Yi held the two lists with trembling hands, carefully identified, as Guo Pojun said, every purchase order on it was shipped to "Xihua Palace", although it was not written that the consignee was Li Hongyuan, but it was enough to show that Li Hongyuan had the financial resources and connections to mobilize so many spiritual grasses!

Li Yi asked again: "Where did my cousin get this receipt list? It is a matter of Li Hongyuan's secret, this list is not something that can be obtained casually!"

Guo Pojun said proudly: "There is a saying: Money can make ghosts grind! This list of spiritual herbs is that I bought off the owner of the pharmacy and told him, Li Hongyuan will definitely send someone over to kill him! As long as he gives me this list, I promise to escort their whole family to evacuate, you don't know Li Hongyuan's temperament? On the night I sent the whole family of the pharmacy owner out of Chang'an City, Li Hongyuan's people came over and burned down the shop of the small pharmacy! In order to hide people's eyes, I changed a few death row prisoners into the clothes of the boss, and the others acted as drugstore guys, and all of them were buried in the fire and turned to ashes!"

After Guo Pojun's explanation, Li Yi has completely believed that it was Li Hongyuan who refined poison and poisoned his own sister!

"Then cousin, how did you get the list of "Treasure Pavilion"? Don't tell me, it's the owner of the Treasure Pavilion who is also going to run away, and you saved the life of the owner of the Treasure Cabinet again!"

Guo Pojun may have said so many words in his throat, and he was also tired, poured a cup of tea, drank it to moisten his throat, and continued: "That's not true, now I am the chief steward of the treasure pavilion of "Chang'an City", and he is my father's protégé, I explained my intention to her, and he gave it to me!"

Li Yi said: "That's it, it's that simple?"

Guo Pojun looked at Li Yi playfully: "Cousin, that's it, it's that simple! Now that you know the fact that Li Hongyuan's gang was poisoned, I also have evidence in my hand, if these two lists can't be used as ironclad evidence, I can call the chief steward of the Treasure Pavilion as a witness! Anyway, the forces behind the Treasure Pavilion are big and the family is big, and he is not afraid of Li Hongyuan's threat!"

Li Yi has now fallen into deep thought, he is considering all kinds of powerful relationships! Now all the evidence has pointed out that Li Hongyuan is poisoning, but what Li Hongyuan is for what reason, Li Yi can't hold it for a while!

"Cousin, this matter is not as simple as we thought! Li Hongyuan bought the eight-grade poisonous herb, and bought so many spiritual herbs and elixirs, is it just to poison his own sister? I don't think this matter is so simple! We have to think about it in the long run, at least we need to know what Li Hongyuan's purpose is, so that we can move to him!

I have my uncle and Zhou Lao's foil, and my father and emperor now trust me very much, and my position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai for the time being, and I can't do things that I am not sure of! Besides, behind Li Hongyuan, it is the Xuanyuan Dynasty that is standing, if we can't beat Li Hongyuan to death with a stick!

The wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, I guess I don't need to say more to you!"

Guo Pojun knows his cousin's temperament very well, not so much looking ahead and looking backwards!

"Cousin, after I passed this news to my father, my father wondered if Li Hongyuan wanted to frame you and make you lose the position of prince?"

After Li Yi heard this, he suddenly realized! Yes! Li Hongyuan practiced a furnace of ancient poison, and he did not poison himself or his father, but poisoned his own sister! If Li Hongyuan had the opportunity to plant a false accusation for himself, wouldn't his position as crown prince change hands?

"Cousin, I think what my uncle said is very reasonable, according to the current clues and evidence, Li Hongyuan did not poison me, and his father, but his own sister, and the stakes are all aspiring to my crown prince!"

Guo Pojun nodded with satisfaction! This cousin who looked ahead and looked backward finally got his senses! It is not bad to look forward and look backward, but we must be decisive in some things, otherwise we will end up in the end of "people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat", and then it will be out of control!

"Cousin, although you lost your mother since you were a child, you grew up under the spur of my father, your temperament is too kind! I don't care if you are the crown prince or the future emperor, you can't have a soft heart! Born in the emperor's family, you are the most ruthless!"

Li Yi was already struggling at this time, whether to make a strong move and bring down Li Hongyuan in one fell swoop!

After Li Yi was silent for half a quarter of an hour, he exhaled a turbid breath: "What my cousin said is right, I can't be soft-hearted anymore! Li Hongyuan can even poison his own sister, if I don't resist, the next poisoning will be me! But I also ask my cousin to tell my uncle that now is not the best time, I heard that Li Hongyuan is going to participate in the scientific examination and bring down Li Hongyuan, I decided to temporarily endure for a few months! By the time Li Hongyuan became famous, we would have all the evidence revealed, and it would take seven inches to fight the snake, not to mention Li Hongyuan's hidden dragon! Either you don't shoot, or you have to kill with one hit!"

Guo Pojun saw that Li Yi had finally made up his mind, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Cousin, cousin, congratulations on taking your first step to become an emperor! The emperor's mind is a combination of grace and power! Cousin, you have taken this step, which means that you have grown up!"

Since Li Yi has made up his mind, he began the first step of deployment, Li Yi's mind is delicate, and he has a forward-looking temperament, and at this time he began to plan to bring down Li Hongyuan!

"Cousin, since I have made a choice, the first step is to ask my cousin to notify my uncle as soon as possible, and let my uncle launch a secret spy to search for all kinds of crimes committed by Li Hongyuan over the years!

In the second step, since my cousin has saved the whole family of the owner of the small medicine shop, try to persuade them to be witnesses, if the owner of the medicine shop is really unwilling to show his face, please record a piece of evidence in front of the image stone about Li Hongyuan asking him to purchase elixir!

The third step, we have to closely shoot the secret agent, monitor Li Hongyuan's every move in the next few months, we can only monitor, not close, Li Hongyuan must also have a master of the queen's shooting, don't be Li Hongyuan see our intentions!

The most crucial point of the fourth step is to be done by me! When the time is ripe, I will open my mouth and explain the situation to my father, and if my uncle is free, please ask the class teacher to return to the court and be my strongest backing! I am not afraid that my father will not believe me! I am afraid that the queen will put pressure on me when she sees that her uncle is not in Chang'an City!"

After Guo Pojun listened to Li Hongyuan's whole train of thought, he couldn't help but admire: "Cousin, although you have a forward-looking temperament, once you make a counterattack, it will be pressing step by step, one ring after another, so that Li Hongyuan really can't turn over!"

Li Yi said: "Even if Li Hongyuan is not dealt with by me, my little uncle will deal with him sooner or later! My little uncle, the style of Confucius Sheng, the posture of literary songs, I can pull my little uncle to our camp and deal with this Li Hongyuan together!"

Guo Pojun didn't know Li Yiming, so he asked: "This is Li Hongyuan, does your little uncle have this strength? Besides, can your little uncle match our strength?"

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he said firmly: "You can rest assured! My little uncle is strong with you, and the good news you are waiting for me is that if I say everything my cousin told me today, I only have a sixty percent chance of winning against Li Hongyuan, but if I get the support of my little uncle, I can be ten percent sure!"
