Chapter 282: If I can see higher, it's because I'm standing on the crater

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the Guanzhong, Li Yuan never stayed in Renzhi Palace again, so when he dealt with the relevant people involved, he took the prince and the king of Qin and the king of Qi to rush back to Chang'an immediately, however, although Tang Emperor Li Yuan left in a hurry, his concubines and the families of the three princes did not have to, and they could wait until the middle of summer and the scorching heat to return to Chang'an. But he can still continue to stay in the Renzhi Palace and enjoy a comfortable time.

Li Yuan is a loving father, so of course he will try not to go back and suspect any of his sons, but Shi Qingyi and Li Yan will never think so, people in the demon gate have always figured out people's hearts from the worst side, and therefore, when the two of them learned that Li Yuanji was involved in this matter, the two of them had serious doubts about Li Yuanji at the same time in their hearts, and soon the channel of Guò Demon Gate was confirmed.

"Sure enough, behind this matter is the secret promotion of King Qi!" Li Yan said to Shi Qingyi: "If it weren't for his deliberate distortion of the facts, so that Yang Wengan would have misunderstood, then Yang Wengan might not have rebelled, and he would not have dealt such a heavy blow to the crown prince Li Jiancheng because of this, making his status crumbling now, and the prince would never have thought that the younger brother he loved the most would be a wolf who would never be able to raise!" ”

When Shi Qingyi heard this, he laughed: "Those who give may not necessarily get in return, but those who ask always blindly take, isn't this the world like this?" But thinking about it, being able to deceive Li Yuan's mind at this time, out of Li Yuan's trust in him, Li Yuanji is afraid that not only did he use his Qi Palace's personal strength, but the Demon Gate would definitely make a big effort in it. It's just that I don't know if that power belongs to the Demon Xiang Sect, or the Yin Sect, or if the two are in common, or. What are some of the others? Shi Qingyi looked at Li Yan and asked, "I don't know about this?" ”

As the former sect leader of the Yin Sect, Li Yan was naturally clear about this matter, so she said in a calm tone: "Both factions have dispatched manpower, but the main force is the Yin Sect, not the Demon Sect, after all. The foundation of the Demon Xiangzong is rooted in the grassland, and its strength in the Central Plains is extremely weak, so even if it wants to send out to support Li Yuanji, it is not enough, not to mention, at this time, the hot summer is about to pass, and when it comes to autumn, it is the golden season for the Turks on the grassland to go south to plunder. The Demon Xiang Sect was preparing for this matter at this time, so naturally there was no time to take care of anything else. Can't provide a lot of help to Li Yuanji. ”

"I see!" Shi Qingyi said: "In the autumn, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty will face another fierce battle!" She said, "However, if it is a Yin sect, then I am even more suspicious of the cause and effect of this matter." After all, with King Qi's age and experience, it was almost impossible to be able to retreat from such a predecessor without attracting Li Yuan's attention, so initially. I thought it was the demon marshal behind him, but now that it has been proven that the demon marshal is unable to physically and mentally, then who will be the master who stands behind the king of Qi and plans for him? Are the short-sighted guys of the Yin Sect at this time? Hehe, of course I don't believe it? So what do you think? Shi Qingyi asked Li Yan.

"You mean to say your father! However, it is not impossible! Li Yan said: "After all, he is such an unpredictable person, and as you once speculated, your father has indeed relied on the Tang Dynasty to slowly expand, and his power has been vaguely transferred to the court of the Tang Dynasty, if it is him, then, no matter what he wants to do, he will definitely be able to do it, and it will definitely not be noticed, but, even so, I still don't think that this matter will be your father's plan, after all, If it was really him planning behind his back, then Datang at this time would definitely not be a light to calm down this chaos, but the entire Datang would be plunged into the chaos of war because of this! Your father definitely has that kind of strength! Li Yan said.

"Yes, the Evil King does have such strength, but the problem is that the timing is not right!" Shi Qingyi said: "The Turks in the north are still violating the border, and there is a Demon Sect in collusion with them, although the Yin Sect has the intention of bowing to their father, but they are short-sighted and insatiable people, they will definitely not be willing to be driven by their father, so if he really chooses to launch it at this time, then next, the evil king will have to face the joint challenge of the Demon Gate, the Yin Sect and the Demon Sect and the Turks, and the righteous forces in the world will definitely not stand by at this time. In addition, there are still Song Lords in the south who have not yet been pacified, and if you calculate carefully, his chances of victory are not great, and the evil king is a wise person, so he will inevitably continue to wait, and will not choose to attack with all his strength at this time! Shi Qingyi said: "Comparatively speaking, I am more inclined to believe that this is an evil king, a test of the power struggle in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Yes, this is just a temptation, and so is victory! Besides, it is not the evil king's own people who are used, why should the evil king not do it, and completely clear his own relationship, that is, Li Yan, who used to be the queen of the yin, if it were not for Shi Qingyi's reminder, he would only think that it was Li Yuanji's unsuccessful conspiracy, how could he think of this, from this aspect alone, it can be seen that the wisdom of the evil king is really unfathomable. It's no wonder that for so many years, both the righteous path demon sect have been jealous of it.

"However, in this incident, the evil king still threw out a chess piece, this person, guess who it is?" Shi Qingyi said suddenly.

When Li Yan heard this, she thought for a long time, and then as if she had made up her final decision, she said slowly but firmly: "If there is really such a person, then it can only be Du Yan!" ”

It's no wonder that Li Yan finally chose Du Yan as the suspect, after all, because of the friendship between the prince and the king of Qi, most of the strategists in the prince's mansion and the people on the side of the king of Qi are also very familiar, so among these people, it is extremely difficult for the evil king to bury the chess pieces, but Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan are two insignificant little people. Even the Evil King's subordinates are nothing more than abandoned pawns that can be discarded at any time. As for Yang Wengan, hastily making trouble is the way to death, how could there be such a stupid guy under the Evil King, naturally it is even more impossible. Then there is only one person left, Du Yan!

Du Yan is indeed very suspicious, first of all, he is a very talented person, and only such a person will be favored by the evil king, and secondly, he is a person who will do whatever it takes for personal gain, and only such a person. will become the evil king's subordinate because of the temptation of power, and in the end, it was his actions in this matter that successfully made Shi Qingyi confirm the fact that he is indeed a pawn of the evil king.

I have to say that Du Yan instructed Du Feng to denounce Yang Wengan's rebellion, which successfully pushed the already complicated matter to an unpredictable point again. The reason is also extremely simple, because there is such a thing as guò. Even Li Shimin, who had been staying out of the matter, was involved, and suddenly the whole thing had a tendency for the younger brother to frame his brother by unscrupulous means for the sake of power, which not only made the relationship between the King of Qin and the crown prince worse, but also made Li Yuan distrust this son again.

From this point of view, Li Shimin has indeed suffered an unwarranted disaster. But on the other hand, it was precisely because of Du Yan's move that Li Shimin was saved from being more suspicious after the incident subsided. After all, because this incident has been confusing until the end. At this point, people tend to use reverse thinking to think about who has the greatest benefit in this matter. After all, whoever gets the most benefits will often be more suspicious, and what such an idea means to Li Shimin is self-evident.

After all, King Qin's military exploits are too dazzling, not only far surpassing the crown prince in prestige, but even posing a huge threat to Li Yuan's throne, and if this matter is really done by him, then he so skillfully rebelled against the prince's confidant Yang Wengan, and let him rebel against the prince, causing the prince to suffer injustice, and making Li Yuan's father and son turn against each other...... If Li Yuan really thinks so, then for Li Shimin, it will really be a disaster, even if Li Yuan will not do anything for the time being because there is no evidence, but in the future, the suspicion of Li Shimin will become deeper and deeper, and if this situation continues, then it is difficult to say what action Li Yuan will take in the end.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen in the end, because Du Yan stood up and used Du Feng to denounce Yang Wengan's rebellion, and the King of Qin was also involved in this matter, Du Yan instructed Du Feng to denounce Yang Wengan's rebellion, although he also had the intention of working hard for the King of Qin to replace the position of the crown prince, however, because Du Yan's character was unbearable, Li Yuan also knew that the King of Qin did not value him, so although Li Yuan was very angry with Du Yan, he would not blame King Qin for this.

And afterwards, Du Yan also confessed to his crimes, neither concealed his guilt at all, nor framed King Qin for this, but took all the blame, of course, in his confession, it was also true that Du Feng learned that Yang Wengan wanted to rebel, but he himself thought that this was an opportunity to bring down the prince and took advantage of it, and it was precisely for this reason that Du Yan was only exiled, and was not sentenced to death.

On the one hand, this is a guy who puts interests first, and it is not surprising to be able to see an opportunity in this matter, denounce the rebellion and want to use this to bring down the prince also said in the past, but on the other hand, as a top boss valued, but a very talented courtier, even if he wants to please his boss, he makes his own opinion without consulting with his boss before doing a big thing, can this be called a smart table? Moreover, there are all kinds of weirdness revealed in the Yang Wengan incident, and the time when Du Yan asked Du Feng to run to denounce the rebellion is indeed too coincidental, and it is inevitable that people with a heart will not be linked together, and later, Du Yan's confession is so frank, not only did he admit his guilt, but also did not slander and implicate the people of the Qin Wang family because of this, and it was also very different from his appearance before he was captured by the Tang army in Luoyang and was about to be executed, so if he really didn't have a ghost, Shi Qingyi would never believe it, It is precisely because of the combination of these discordant suspicions that Shi Qingyi can finally determine that Du Yan is indeed a chess piece that the evil king has been laying for many years!

He should have been a chess piece that the evil king originally placed next to Wang Shichong in order to lay out Luoyang, however. Due to the destruction of Luoyang City and the defeat and surrender of Wang Shichong's troops, Du Yan also lost his due value, and Li Shimin has always been jealous and hateful, and intends to execute Du Yan, and therefore. At that time, maybe even the evil king thought that this chess piece was about to run out! But what he didn't expect was that due to Du Ruhui's intercession, Li Shimin finally forgave Du Yan's sins, but he didn't look down on him because of this, and after letting him go, he ignored it.

Du Yan later came to Chang'an, intending to take refuge under the prince's door as a strategist, however. Fang Xuanling, a famous strategist under the King of Qin, considered that Du Yan's character was extremely bad and his talent, and he was afraid that he would be unfavorable to the King of Qin under the Prince's hands, so he finally pleaded with the King of Qin to let Du Yan enter the palace of the King of Qin and take up an ordinary position. Because of this, this chess piece, which originally belonged to the evil king, actually took root in the palace of King Qin. And Shi Qingyi, the daughter of the evil king, is also close at hand.

"So now, the evil king is using this chess piece lightly. On the one hand, it is indeed to muddy the troubled waters of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he also protects his daughter, the mind of the evil king, which no one can imagine! Li Yan said.

"No wonder, because of the value I am showing at this time. It's worth it for him! After all, I am both a flaw in the evil king and one of his options for the future, which is never certain until the last minute. He will not abandon me at will, even if I will most likely become his most dangerous enemy in the future! Shi Qingyi said: "Besides, Du Yan is indeed useless to stay in the Qin Palace, if you do this, at least, it can be regarded as a waste utilization!" Scold! Shi Qingyi laughed.

When Li Yan heard this, she sighed and said: "Since Wan Wan left the Yin Sect, the people of the Yin Sect want to take refuge in the Evil King, but the condition they put forward is that the Evil King wants to kill his daughter Shi Qingxuan, and wants to give the Evil King a problem, after all, the fact that the daughter of the Evil King is the flaw of the Evil King has long been known to everyone, and only when the Evil King kills his daughter can it be proved that he has really healed at this time. There is no flaw in his state of mind, so at this time, he is worthy of the title of the evil king, and he can dominate all the demon gates! ”

"However, if the evil king really did that, he was undoubtedly compromising with the Yin Sect, how could such an evil king be recognized by all the demon sects, and then willingly accept the leadership of the evil king! The fellow disciples of the Yin Sect thought that they had thought of a brilliant idea, but they didn't know that they themselves were extremely stupid, if the Evil King really had no flaws, how could he care about the feelings between the various sects of the Demon Sect, he only needed one person, it was enough to overwhelm all the opponents, and the ideas that my fellow disciples thought of had no effect except to increase the Evil King's hostility towards them! And they don't know that because of this condition, not only will it cause the dissatisfaction of the evil king, but even you, you will also be extremely hostile to them, this should be their own death! After all, you're not a forgiving person, and even more so when it comes to the people you care about! Li Yan said.

"There's no way, who let me be obscure in the past!" Shi Qingyi replied, too, because Shi Qingyi deliberately hidden, she has not been known, although after the battle between Western Qin and Yin made her name a sensation for a while, but then because of the injury and seclusion, the rivers and lakes have rumored that Shi Qingyi has died, so that many people regard the truth of the matter, and even if some people know that Shi Qingyi is not dead at this time, they also think that Shi Qingyi at this time is extremely injured, so the injury cannot be healed. Even if her martial arts regressed and even became a waste, it was precisely for this reason that even in the Yin Sect at this time, some people knew that Shi Qingyi was still alive, but they also looked down on her and ignored her because of this.

If they knew that Shi Qingyi's injuries at this time had not only healed, but his martial arts cultivation had gone further, and that he was still the princess of Qin at this time, then no matter how bold they were, they would never dare to provoke the evil king Shi Zhixuan, let alone come up with such a bad idea. Because just such a Shi Qingyi is worth more than the entire Yin Sect, not to mention that the Yin Sect at this time has already become a plate of scattered sand because of the internal struggle, not to mention the fragility, the value that can be used has also been greatly reduced!

"That's why the evil king is a terrible man! In this world, I'm afraid he is the only one who can play chess in the sky, turn his hand into a cloud, and cover his hand for rain In contrast, even you and I are just a relatively large chess piece on his chessboard, although it seems to have a certain degree of autonomy, but in fact, all actions are still on the trajectory formulated by him, and he has never been surprised! Li Yan looked at Shi Qingyi: "But now you have seen it, I know that you must have your own ideas, but I can't see what kind of plans you have at this time who seem to enjoy a comfortable life?" Li Yan asked.

"My plan, that's one word: wait!" Shi Qingyi also laughed: "In any case, I am his closest relative, so until the last moment, he will definitely not make a move on me, since this is the case, then before this, why should I work hard and ask for hardship, and when things really come to that point, with the wisdom of the evil king, he must have a complete grasp, and at that time, all we can do is to survive in death, and at that time, compared to planning in advance, the opportunity to change is the most important, Therefore, naturally, we don't need to bother at this time, as long as we recuperate with peace of mind, and then wait for the time to come......"

Do you just keep waiting? Li Yan thought quietly for a moment, and then, a smile finally appeared on her face, indeed, since it is useless to do anything at this time, it is indeed a good way to wait for peace of mind. After all, many times, opportunities come only because someone has waited long enough! Besides, Li Yan looked at herself at this time, then at Shi Qingyi beside her, and laughed, in terms of time alone, the two of them at this time can definitely afford to wait more than the evil king...... (To be continued......)
