In the tent of the King of Qi, there was no one to wait, only Yang Hui, the king of Qi, sat alone in front of a brazier, wearing a fox fur coat, describing him as haggard and decadent, his eyes were dull, and he looked like a dead wood, and he was not angry at all.

However, after seeing Wang Chonggu and Li Shimin, Yang Jin's whole person came back to life, and his eyes lit up: "Prince, but my father has a decree to pardon this king? Father, he knows that I have been wronged, right? Lone knows, Lone knows, my father will not be so ruthless." ”

Wang Chonggu's face was as plain as water: "I disappointed Your Highness, the old slave didn't come by order." ”

"Isn't it?"

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then asked with disappointment and doubt: "If you didn't come here to announce the decree, why did you come here?" Yes, it must be the queen mother who asked you to come to see Gu, right?"

"It's not on the orders of the Queen. ”

Wang Chonggu bowed slightly: "The old slave is here because Li Kaifu has something to ask His Highness." ”

"Li Kaifu?"

Yang Jun immediately looked sideways at Li Shimin behind him, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "He's—that Li Erlang? Why did he become a Kaifu? ”

"Li Kaifu and three days ago Gong Wei Imperial Drive, rescue the emperor and grandson meritorious service, was awarded by His Majesty the founding of the country, the opening of the palace with the three divisions of the title. ”

Wang Chonggu replied lightly: "Lord Kaifu has been entrusted with the important task of tracking down the Demon Dragon Eight Divisions to plot against him. ”

When this person said the sentence 'Gong Guarding the Imperial Driver, Saving the Emperor and Sun Gong', Li Shimin saw that there was a layer of green energy on the face of this King of Qi, but he didn't care, and after Wang Chonggu finished speaking, he hugged his fists and bowed: "The last general heard that His Royal Highness has something to do with the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, so I came to inquire about it!"

"Demon Dragon Babu?"

Yang Yan couldn't help glaring at Li Shimin angrily, and reprimanded sharply: "Lone doesn't know what the Demon Dragon Babu is, you are so daring, dare to frame this king?"

Wang Chonggu couldn't help but glance at Li Shimin, although Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, was now banned by His Majesty's order, he had not yet won the king.

Although everyone knows that Yang Xuan was deeply involved in this major rebellion case, and was even the mastermind.

But this crime on the surface is still just a crime of violating the holy car and doing things that are disgusting to witches. With the Demon Dragon Babu, not to mention the face.

Li Shimin was calm, and the scene in front of him had already been expected by him.

"Why does Your Highness do this? In the end, this is to clear His Highness's grievances, not to fabricate charges for His Highness. ”

When he said this, not only Yang Yong was stunned for a while, but even Wang Chonggu was surprised.

"You are deceiving Gu, you must be cheating Gu, right? Gu has offended you, you guy, you will only want to step this king into hell, and you will never be able to turn over!"

Yang Jun shook his head, his face full of disbelief, but when he said to the end, he asked with a glimmer of hope: "Do you really want to help this king clear his grievances?" Do you believe that I was wronged?"

"Your Highness has indeed offended the last general, but the last general also believes that the death of my third brother has nothing to do with His Highness. The reason why we are prevented from pursuing the martial arts Li clan must be His Highness's original intention. ”

Li Shimin's expression was calm, with a public and selfless face: "The last general does believe that His Royal Highness is innocent, and if he says a bad word, the last general does not believe that with your wisdom, Your Highness, you can plan such an almost seamless killing situation against Your Majesty, and it is impossible to invite a character like Chen Taiwei." ”

Wang Chonggu's face couldn't help but move, and his eyes showed deep thought, he had to admit that the reason Li Shimin said was indeed very powerful.

Yang Xuan's expression was equally complicated, but he quickly ignored Li Shimin's ridicule: "Li Kaifu, you are very good, much better than the people of Xiuyi Wei and Si Litai. Gu said a few times before, Gu Wang didn't recognize Chen Taiwei at all, and he never thought of rebelling, you all refused to believe it. The matter of your third brother, of course, was not the intention of this king, but Cao asked him if he had to do this, and I reprimanded him at that time. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Shimin with a gaze full of expectation: "How are you going to help this king clear up his grievances?"

"The last general thinks that the first thing to do is to start by checking the people around His Highness. ”

Li Shimin's words were sincere and seductive: "Forgive the end of the general, although His Highness refuses to admit that he is involved in the case of rebellion, but now all the evidence points to His Highness, and it is almost impossible to deny." Your Majesty, what a wise and martial man? If you continue to resist like this, it will not only be of no avail, but will only make Your Majesty even more annoyed. Therefore, the last general privately thinks that the most important thing for His Highness to do now is to try to explain everything and cooperate with the embroidered guards to track down the real murderer. ”

"This-"

Yang Xuan's expression couldn't help but hesitate for a while, and his eyes flickered.

Li Shimin could probably guess this idea, and now the crime of this King of Qi is only to commit a holy car and practice witchcraft. But if he really told everything, maybe he would really anger the Son of Heaven and let people give him a white silk or a cup of poisoned wine.

Fortunately, he had already prepared a speech: "Your Highness, you are cautious, benevolent, gentle and frugal, and these Your Majesty and the Empress are all in your eyes. The last general guessed that the reason why His Highness now has such a rebellious idea must be because he was provoked by the people around him, or even confused his sanity. Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Qi say that at the time of the incident, you were detained in the king's tent by Cao Wen and could not move in and out? It can be seen that Your Highness, you have been deceived and used. What I want to ask is, apart from Cao Wen, are there any other suspicious people around you, Your Highness?"

At this time, Yang Jun's eyes were already shining: "You are right, what you said is right! This king has been trained by the court, has been following the rules since he was a child, and has been thinking of filial piety and faithfulness, how could he have such evil thoughts for no reason? This must be a villain who has confused the mind of this king! This must have fallen into evil! They are so daring!"

He had regained his composure and sat back in his chair, while falling into reflection: "If you want to talk about the suspicious people around this king, in addition to Cao Wen, there is also - Wei's!"

"Merriam-Webster?"

Li Shimin and Wang Chonggu glanced at each other, and a flash of joy flashed in their eyes.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, who is this woman? Webster, could it be that she was born in Jingzhao Webster?"

"Exactly, this woman is Wei Chong, the late secretary of the Ministry of the People's Republic, the late princess Wei Fei's sister, married to the prince Yuen Long. A few years ago, I was lured by this woman to have an affair with her, and I gave birth to a daughter. Then about three years ago, at a banquet, there was a Taoist master who met the person at the banquet, and then pointed to Webster and said that this woman would be unspeakably expensive in the future, or she would be the mother of the world—"

When Yang Jian said this, his expression was slightly embarrassed: "The Lone King can guarantee that at that time, the Lone King will never have any great rebellious intentions. I just want the three imperial nephews to be young, if this king can win the trust of his father, or hopefully-"

"The last will understand! I'll explain later. ”

Li Shimin interrupted Yang Jun's words: "In other words, His Highness thinks this woman is very suspicious, right?"

"That's right, since then, the lonely king has been more trusting and pampered by this woman. After that, somehow, he gradually obeyed her. Now that the Lone King wants to come, he feels quite suspicious,"

The more Yang Yan spoke, the more rational and arrogant he became, and his expression was resentful: "It must be this woman, I don't know what kind of evil method she used to bewitch the Lone King!"

"I see, the last general and the prince will definitely investigate in detail. ”

Li Shimin then asked: "And the Taoist who met Wei Shi at the beginning, can Your Highness still remember him?"

※ ※ ※ ※

Two hours later, Li Shimin and Wang Chonggu walked out of King Qi's tent.

After that, Wang Chonggu bowed slightly to Li Shimin: "The old slave here has thanked Lord Kaifu on behalf of the queen and His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

"Why does the ambassador need to do that?"

Li Shimin hurriedly turned sideways: "Even if he is not here, His Royal Highness King Qi will figure it out sooner or later, and he can't afford to be the last general." ”

"That's not necessarily, Your Highness is also a smart person, but now like a frightened bird, he may not be able to wake up. ”

Wang Chonggu shook his head with a disapproving look: "The old slave also thought about mentioning King Qi before, but he was worried that His Majesty would be even more angry when he learned about it. ”

Therefore, this candidate is very important, not only to make King Qi sober up, but also not to make the Son of Heaven disgusted, or even suspicious.

At this time, only Li Shimin is indeed the most suitable person.

Li Shimin laughed: "But there is always a suitable person, and it is not necessary to have a general." What's more, this time the last general is not without benefits. ”

Just now, he was in the tent of King Qi, but in front of Wang Chonggu, he openly accepted the heavy gift of Yang Hui, the king of Qi.

Including 300,000 pieces of silver, a king-level ink armor with good combat power, and three granges, two in Shanxi and one in Guanzhong, with a total area of 1,400 hectares.

Most of them will be cashed out after returning to Luoyang.

The huge debt he owed to Tsinghua Yuanjun before was recouped with his back, and he still made a lot of profits.

"Don't say it's His Royal Highness the King of Qi, even Her Royal Highness the Queen will be grateful to you when she learns about it. ”

Wang Chonggu laughed, and sighed with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Queen, it is difficult for him to do it, this palm and the back of his hand are full of meat." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, although his face was calm, he secretly snorted to himself. It was precisely because he had already seen this that he would take the initiative to exonerate King Qi. Otherwise, he really wanted to step this King of Qi under the Nine Springs with one kick.

Although Empress Xiao is virtuous, Yang Hui, the king of Qi, is her own son after all.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi was deceived and used by others, and everything the last general did was based on public intentions. ”

Li Shimin then changed his voice again: "What does my father-in-law think about the matter of Wei's?"

The matter involves the daughter of Wei Chong, the secretary of the Ministry of the Late People's Department, Jing Zhao Wei, and I can't be cautious about it.

"Li Kaifu doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty will find out about this rebellion case no matter what. Not to mention Wei Chong's concubine, it is the head of Jingzhao Webster's family who is involved in this case, and it is also necessary to investigate it to the end. ”

Wang Chonggu's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and his voice was cold: "I will know about this matter, Your Majesty, Li Kaifu, you just have to investigate the case." ”
