The sun was slanting in the west, and seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yan Zhenqing was about to get up and retire with interest, but Li Heng grabbed his shirt and didn't let him go. Yan Zhenqing is in a dilemma, neither is he going, nor is he not leaving.

"Your Majesty rest early, minister, minister will come back another day, come again......"

Yan Zhenqing, who has seen a lot of wind and waves, can't help but stutter a little, I don't know what the Son of Heaven is doing today.

Unexpectedly, it was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Li Heng howled and cried, and the hand holding his shirt refused to let go of anything.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... This, this is ......"

What else could Yan Zhenqing say? He had to sit down again and talk awkwardly, but this time it was without the two hours before the monarch and the ministers complementing each other, Li Heng's emotions seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and he often did not match the words before and after when he spoke, so he had to deal with the water and earth with soldiers.

Finally, Li Heng still couldn't endure the exhaustion of his body and dozed off, so Yan Zhenqing took advantage of this moment to get up and leave.

Leaving the deep courtyard where the Son of Heaven was located, Yan Zhenqing, who had been through the wind and frost for a long time, couldn't help but shed tears. When Li Heng was still the crown prince, he had met several times. At that time, Li Heng was in the prime of life, humble and polite, and thoughtful, and look at the present, not to mention the Son of Heaven who reigns over the world, even ordinary people are not as good as him.

However, the world is changing, and the dust of two generations of emperors has finally been exchanged for a prosperous world, and this kind of "sacrifice" may be worth it!

Out of Xingqing Palace, through the street, Yan Zhenqing led the horse and walked for a while, and then planned to leave to return to the post house, but was suddenly stopped by two mysterious people.

"Yan Fujun, my master begged to see him, I don't know if he will appreciate his face?"

Yan Zhenqing paused for a moment and chose to agree. The group turned around and came to a ruined Persian temple.

The monks in the temple were killed when Tubo fell into the city, and the Shenwu army has been idle since the recovery of Chang'an, and even the rumors of haunting can often be heard in recent days. However, Yan Zhenqing had just come to Chang'an, and he didn't know much about many things in the city, so he just looked at the people who led him expressionlessly and said code words that he couldn't understand.

The abandoned temple is dark and gloomy, and the cool breeze seems to be there, which makes people feel cold all over the body.

However, although Yan Zhenqing was born as a literati, he was a person who survived the battle between the two armies, and he has seen countless dead people, and the people he has killed are afraid that he can't count them on two hands. Why do you care about this little bit of gloomy wind?

Half an hour later, a masked figure emerged from the shadows.

"Yan Fujun, you are a courtier of Li Tang, do you also want to help the gang to abuse and collude with the wolf surnamed Qin?"

This question is serious, Yan Zhenqing has insisted on resisting in Pingyuanjun for many years with his own strength, and there are seven or eight out of ten people who have died because of this, and now others are scolding disloyalty in person, so they are naturally angry.

Therefore, he did not answer, but just watched coldly as these people had to say something.

"Today, as long as Yan Fujun is willing to support His Royal Highness the Prince, he will be my minister of meritorious reinvention of the Tang Dynasty!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The current crown prince Li Xi is just a thirteen-year-old doll, is this the person?

The masked man laughed.

"Naturally, he is the eldest son of today's son!"

Yan Zhenqing was immediately full of excitement, and when he saw the dagger, he knew that this group of people really had ulterior motives. I never expected that what they entrusted was the name of the abolished prince!

Although Yan Zhenqing was not very satisfied with the current situation of Qin and Jin's dictatorship, he also knew that the life of the deposed prince would have long been over, unless he regained the position that belonged to him by violent means, then, is this possible?

The Shenwu Army has put down the rebellion in the country one after another, and its combat power and prestige have even shocked the four people, who else can be its opponent in the world?

It is obviously despicable to exchange the misery of the world's lives for someone's selfish desires to succeed!

"Since Your Excellency is looking for the abolished prince, why don't you even dare to show your face? Could it be that just one or two of your nonsense words, Yan Mou wants to be driven by you?"

The masked man was not annoyed by Yan Zhenqing's questioning, but took out a silver seal from the skin on his waist.

"Yan Fujun, look, what is this!"

A strand of red silk is tied to the silver seal button, which looks quite proven.

"This is the seal of the prince!

Yan Zhenqing sneered.

"It's okay to fool the ignorant people with such tricks, is it just like making the important ministers of the court bow down to it and let them be driven?"

At this time, Yan Zhenqing already regretted a little, he came to this deserted Persian temple alone, in case these people had bad intentions, wouldn't he be in danger?

However, he is not a reckless person, he will not carry it to the end, and he will always be false and wronged.

"Unless, Your Excellency has solid evidence that the deposed prince is still alive, everything is not to be discussed!"

The masked man finally didn't expect Yan Zhenqing's attitude to be so tough, maybe it was because the people who had been bluffed before were too easy to succumb, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. But immediately, he raised his voice again and said:

"Okay, since Yan Fujun wants to see the evidence, I will give you the evidence, but it will take a few days to prepare, please wait a few days for Yan Fujun patiently!"

Yan Zhenqing sneered:

"Pacify the traitors in Anshi, in six years, Yan can wait, just a few days, how can he be in a hurry?"

When I returned to Chang'an City Street, it was already dark, and the sound of the horses' hooves of the city patrol riders was far and near.

Yan Zhenqing knew that the curfew had begun, and it seemed that he would have to talk to the cavalry patrolling the city.

Sure enough, Yan Zhenqing was blocked on the road by a team of ten horsemen, and after he identified himself, he directly asked that he had an urgent matter to see Prime Minister Qin, and he couldn't delay for a moment.

The cavalry patrolling the city was not embarrassed by Yan Zhenqing, and took him to the Prime Minister's Mansion as he said.

When Qin Jin heard Yan Zhenqing's description, he smiled playfully, as if he had known that there would be such a thing.

Although Yan Zhenqing did not have a good impression of the young powerful minister in front of him, after all, he was maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and those people who saw and heard in the Persian Temple must be plotting some conspiracy to threaten the stability of the dynasty. That's what he absolutely can't stand anymore.

"Didn't the prime minister already know?"

Qin Jin nodded.

"These masked people are inextricably linked to the Great Cannibals, and they are abducted and deceived in the city under the guise of abolishing the prince, but what they deceive is not money, but loyalty!"

Yan Zhenqing felt incredulous.

"Could it be that the deposed prince is still alive?"

In this regard, Qin Jin did not answer in the affirmative, nor did he deny it.

"It is rumored that the abolished prince colluded with the big cannibals to invade Hexi, and now the lonely city of Zhangye has been besieged for more than two months, and the imperial court has not sent troops for a long time, because it is not ready to go west!"

"Could it be that this is the great cannibal's method of attacking the heart?"

Although Yan Zhenqing is in Hebei, he has also heard many rumors about Anxi and Hexi.

At first, he didn't care, but after experiencing this today, his eyes couldn't help but be deep.

"These thieves are so capable, they have actually infiltrated Chang'an, and the subordinates suggested, why don't the prime minister search the whole city to completely eliminate these hidden dangers?"

Qin Jin Dao:

"The thieves are in the dark but the court is in the open, if there is a large-scale search, there will be countless fish that slip through the net, and it will be difficult to find out all the culprits behind the scenes and the court officials who collude with them. Jingzhao Mansion has been secretly investigating this matter for three or two months, and its collusion network has been roughly clear, and it can be closed as long as the opportunity is right!"

Hearing this, Yan Zhenqing couldn't help but be a little shocked.

There are all kinds of open and secret battles in this Chang'an City, and God knows that if you don't make a move, it will lead to annihilation.

This kind of open and secret fighting is much more dangerous and unpredictable than defending the city and killing thieves.

Yan Zhenqing thought so, but still had suggestions.

"The subordinates are willing to contact it and find out the truth!"

For this kind of conspiracy in the dark room, Yan Zhenqing's attitude is scoffing. Even if the banner they raised was true, the abolished prince Li Yu was really the mastermind behind the scenes, and he would not be driven by it.

Those who hold the authority of the country have always ruled the world with yang. If everything is done by conspiracy and trickery to achieve the goal, isn't the world full of villains with no bottom line?

According to Qin Jin's intentions, he was not willing to let Yan Zhenqing take risks, but he insisted on insisting, so he had to nod and agree. However, for the sake of safety, Qin Jin still selected ten outstanding people from among the guards and followed him.

After sending Yan Zhenqing away, Qin Jin stretched his waist, and unconsciously he was busy for a whole day, and then he remembered that the old man of the family had sent a handwritten letter from the princess during the day, so he returned to the bookcase, opened the cover, and took out the paper inside.

At first, Qin Jin thought it was just some little tricks of his daughter's family, urging him to go home for small things like eating and sleeping. Yes, I casually glanced at the contents of the letterhead, and picked up the tea on the desk over and over again......

After a few glances, Qin Jin squirted out all the tea in one sip, stood up, and dusted off the water stains on his body with a smile.

Even if the princess gives birth to a child, she can always toss some unexpected things, no, she actually began to take a concubine for him.

Moreover, the object of the concubine was actually the daughter of Wei Jiansu, Wei Jiao.

In the past few years, of course, Qin Jin knew that Wei Wan had always been in love with him, but due to many reasons like this, the two of them always had no chance to be together. In fact, he was not averse to winning Wei Yao, the only thing he was worried about was the Wei family's father and son, what their attitude was.

Princess Shou'an planned to take him as a concubine, but it was not just a whim, a big reason was to prepare for the upcoming expedition to the west.

The influence of the Wei father and son in the court was by no means something that could be taken lightly, so how could they be closely tied to the Shenwu Army and him Qin Jin on the same chariot?

Qin Jin still smiled bitterly, marriage is certainly a method, but it has to be used on whom and in what circumstances. Obviously, when it comes to Wei Jiansu, an old fox, just marriage is definitely not enough!
