The news brought by Wang Zhongdui was too shocking, and the entire East Palace was in a panic, and Jiancheng hurriedly gathered all his henchmen to come to discuss. Jiancheng has never let Zheng Guanyin participate in political affairs, but at this time, the matter is very important, and Zheng Guanyin was also invited.

Jiancheng anxiously said to all the strategists: "I never thought that Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan would go to Renzhi Palace to denounce me, and now my father personally wrote an edict for me to go to Renzhi Palace, it must be for this matter, what can you do?" ”

Zhao Hongzhi, the chief secretary of Zhan Affairs, said: "Your Highness, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan will not go to the emperor to denounce you for no reason, they must have been instructed or coerced by others, and the matter they told will definitely not be as simple as smuggling weapons, Your Highness must deal with this matter carefully." ”

Jiancheng asked suspiciously: "But there is nothing else to do except this matter, what will they denounce?" And by whom? ”

Wang Zhongdu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this smuggling weapon is easy to make people think of rebellion, and the person who instructed it still needs to guess?" It must be the Qin Palace! ”

"It's the people again." Jiancheng unconsciously took a step back.

Zheng Guanyin helped him, "Built, who else can there be if it's not the people?" If something happens to you, only he will benefit. Now, let's get an idea! ”

Xu Shimo, the prince's housekeeper, stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the King of Qin has set a trap, and the emperor has decreed that you must be lucky enough to go to Renzhi Palace." The subordinates think that there is no choice but to do it so far, we might as well not do it, start an army, control the capital, His Royal Highness ascended the throne in advance, respect the emperor as the emperor, and make a complete decision! ”

Wei Zheng listened. hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you must not!" The emperor personally issued an edict, and there must have been sufficient arrangements, and if you rush to raise troops, you will definitely die! Your Royal Highness, think about it, how you fought with the King of Qin, you are the rightful crown prince, and you are all right; This is fighting with the emperor, you are a son, a minister, such a big rebellion, how many people in the Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military Association support it? ”

Jiancheng suddenly said: "Wei Xima is right, I can't do such a rebellious thing. Not to mention that there is no chance of success at all. Even if there is, I won't do it, how can I afford such historical infamy? ”

Zheng Guanyin cried: "But." Built. Have you ever wondered. Will your father let you go to Renzhi Palace? Could that be self-defeating? ”

Wei Zheng said: "The crown princess is too worried, His Royal Highness is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor has always thought that the prince is benevolent and protects the prince in many ways." What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not rebel in the first place. His Royal Highness personally went to Renzhi Palace to ask the emperor for his guilt, so that His Highness was open-minded, and the emperor's doubts would be resolved. ”

Jiancheng said: "Wei Xima is right, I only took a dozen people to ask my father for guilt, which shows that I have no objection." ”

Zheng Guanyin pulled Jiancheng and said: "Chengcheng, take me with you, Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei are all in Renzhi Palace, I can go and ask them to say more good things for you." ”

Built nodding.

Jiancheng put on a sinner suit and came to Li Yuan and knelt on the ground, and Zheng Guanyin also knelt down beside him.

Jiancheng kowtowed heartily and said: "Father, the son is wrong, the son should die!" Erchen should not transport weapons privately, it is against the law of the Tang Dynasty, but Erchen has no objection, please forgive your father! ”

Li Yuan looked angry, "You have no objection?" What are you doing with so many weapons to Yang Wengan? ”

"Father, in order to protect himself, his sons have no intention of rebelling!" Jiancheng continued to kowtow.

Li Yuan said: "Self-preservation? What the hell is wrong with you? Last time it was Changlin Army, this time it was Yang Wengan, you said it was self-preservation, but you told me, what are you afraid of? ”

Jiancheng cried: "Father, the assassins who went to the East Palace last time to assassinate Erchen asked them who instructed them before they died, and one only said two words, 'It's Qin ......", and died, and the other said that he would not betray His Highness if he died. Father, the son was with Yuanji at the time, who did you say the assassin was talking about? There is no empirical evidence that the second brother did it, but the second brother has always been proud of his achievements, and many courtiers support him. Erchen ...... Erchen is really afraid...... I'm afraid that the second brother will murder his son! As the saying goes: 'You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.' 'Erchen will never make a move on the second brother, but Erchen is afraid that the second brother will make a move on the son! That's why the sons tried their best to protect themselves, and asked their father to believe in the sons, and the sons would never do such a rebellious thing to their father! ”

Jiancheng's kowtow was full of blood, Zheng Guanyin was very distressed, and cried and complained: "Father, what Jiancheng said is true, the minister's daughter-in-law was also present at the time, and the assassin really said so." If the father didn't believe it, he could also ask Yuanji and his wife, who were also there at the time. Father, as the saying goes: 'Knowing the son is better than the father.' 'What kind of person is built, don't you know, father?' How could he rebel! ”

It turned out that the assassin had said such things before he died, so it was no wonder that both Jiancheng and Motoyoshi were suspicious of Shimin. Li Yuan's heart was shaken, and Zheng Guanyin was right, 'Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father.' 'How could Jiancheng, who has always been benevolent, do such a thing as rebellion?

Just when Li Yuan gradually felt that the completion was wronged, a eunuch hurriedly came in, "Emperor Qiqi, there is a person named Du Fengju outside the Renzhi Palace, saying that he wants to tell the emperor that Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, intends to rebel. ”

"What?" Li Yuan's heart that had just been put down lifted again, "Quickly pass him in." ”

Jiancheng and his wife were shocked, how could this be possible, they didn't let Yang Wengan do anything, how could Yang Wengan rebel?

When Du Fengju came to Li Yuan, Li Yuan asked, "Du Fengju, who are you?" ”

Du Fengju said: "Back to the emperor, the villain is just a grass farmer, who makes a living from farming. ”

"Then how did you learn that Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, intended to rebel?" Li Yuan continued to ask.

Du Fengju said: "The villain and Yang Wengan's cook are old friends, and it was he who told the villain Yang Wengan to make him hear after drinking, and the villain felt that this matter was related to the emperor's safety, so he came to report to the emperor." ”

Li Yuan said: "What did the cook tell you that Yang Wengan said after drinking?" ”

Du Fengju said: "He said that Yang Wengan said after drinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made an appointment to do great things with him, and after the matter was completed, he would be the founding hero of the Prince!" ”

"What?" Li Yuan trembled with anger when he heard this, and said angrily at Jiancheng, "Jiancheng, what else do you have to say now?" ”

"Erchen is wronged! The retainers are wronged! Erchen didn't say anything to Yang Wengan, please ask your father to check clearly! The retainers are wronged! Jiancheng was so frightened that his whole body trembled, what the hell is going on, how could anyone come to sue Yang Wengan for rebellion? This is nothing at all!

Li Yuan said: "I will investigate clearly!" Someone came, and the prince was confined to the temple of meditation, and no one was allowed to see him, only wheat and rice were allowed to satisfy his hunger, and nothing else was allowed to eat! ”

"Father, father, father......" Zheng Guanyin still wanted to intercede again.

Li Yuan said to her: "You go down first, I will definitely find out about this matter." (To be continued......)
