Li Mingyuan followed Jiang Zeyang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, into the palace and came to the Fengtian Palace.

"The criminal minister Li Mingyuan knocked on the emperor to see the emperor Chitose Chitose Chitose, and the minister was guilty, so he asked the emperor to give the minister the death penalty, so that the minister could reunite with the parents of the minister..." Li Mingyuan said with some anger to the emperor Zhou Qizhen.

"General, please hurry up, the general is the hero of my Zhou Kingdom, what is the crime? I invited the general to come today to reward the general for defeating the 500,000 army of the Western Wing State with an army of 100,000 and capturing three cities of the enemy. It should be rewarded, but what is the crime? Emperor Manzhou Qizhen walked down the steps last week, helped Li Mingyuan with both hands and said.

Li Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said with a hint of sarcasm, "The emperor's commendation, the minister is ashamed, the minister only asks the emperor to have mercy on the minister, the minister has fought bloodily, there is no merit and hard work, just let the people in the minister's mansion go, the minister will be grateful for the emperor's kindness, and assist the emperor well." ”

"Where did the general say, I grew up with the general, like brothers, no, some time ago there were not enough people, so I asked the imperial historian Yuan Qizhen to borrow a few people from the general on my behalf? Since the palace is not busy, it should be returned to the general. The emperor opened his eyes and said hypocritical words.

"Didn't the emperor ask Weichen, where have you been recently?" Li Mingyuan asked unceremoniously. He felt estranged from the current emperor.

"No need to ask, it has been spread all over the palace, and the general has been guarding filial piety in front of your parents' graves, and has done a lot of good deeds, hasn't he?" Emperor Zhou Qizhen deliberately asked rhetorically.

"Is the emperor a letter?" Li Mingyuan asked with a wry smile.

"Li Mingyuan, don't rely on your military exploits too much, do you dare to say that the matter of the grassland has nothing to do with you? Don't think that so many ordinary people testify for you, saying that you did not leave the capital, I will believe it, I have been sending people to watch the graves of your parents! You're not there at all. And your housekeeper Qin Peng, who committed suicide yesterday, refused to say where you went until he died, it can be seen that you must have done something unseemly, and I don't plan to pursue it, because since the Youyou grassland has been destroyed, it will be useless to kill you, and the whereabouts of Princess Sanssouci are unknown, and the soldiers and horses of various countries have moved, and they frequently appear in our country, I want you to make meritorious contributions..."The emperor Zhou Qizhen slapped the table and shouted loudly.

When Li Mingyuan heard that the housekeeper Qin Peng was dead, his eyes turned red, and he said sarcastically, "No, do you still have to be grateful to the emperor and magnanimously not pursue the minister's crimes?" ”

"Li Mingyuan, you have gone too far, in order to hide your guilt for you, the emperor has ordered to block all the truth about the death of Princess Sanssouci and Youyou Prairie and Hou Ye. It was also decreed that no one should be allowed to bring it up again. The emperor knows that you are the most suspicious, but he does not interrogate you, and he has already done his best..."Prime Minister Duan Duyu couldn't get used to Li Mingyuan's aggressiveness, so he said righteously.

"Li Mingyuan, I know that your father's death has hit you hard, and it has also hurt my relationship with you, I have ordered to posthumously crown your father as a first-class prince, bury him, and order the whole country to ban speech, no longer discuss the matter of the Youyou grassland and your father, I need you, the Manzhou Kingdom needs you, the matter on the Youyou grassland, I don't want to pursue it, now as long as you do your best to help me find the princess of Sanssouci, are you willing?" Emperor Manzhou said earnestly last week.

Emperor Manzhou Qizhen only whispered to Li Mingyuan last week, because he knew that the Manzhou Kingdom was in turmoil now, and Li Mingyuan had the experience of leading troops to fight, but the matter of the Youyou grassland made the Emperor of Manzhou still suspicious, and he hoped that Li Mingyuan would not kill Princess Sanssouci again at that time, so there would really be a hundred harms and no benefits with the Manzhou Kingdom.

"So the emperor still suspects that Weichen killed the people on the grassland? Then the emperor directly killed Weichen, the emperor really looked at Weichen, and Weichen single-handedly challenged the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Youyou grassland? ”。 Li Mingyuan asked rhetorically pretending to be angry.

Li Mingyuan's aggressiveness finally made Emperor Manzhou last week pray that he couldn't bear it, slapped the table, the table fell to the ground in response, and said angrily, "Come on, take Li Mingyuan down to me, I am for the sake of growing up with you, and I have tolerated you again and again, and you have to make an inch." Since you didn't attack the Yoyo Prairie, can you explain, where have you been these days? How do you know that the Youyo Grassland has been destroyed? How do you know that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the grassland? ”

"This..."At this time, someone came to report to the Lord of Xue Yao to ask to see him.

The county lord of Xue Yao is the sister of Zhou Qizhen of the Manzhou Kingdom, she has liked Li Mingyuan since she was a child, and the current emperor Zhou Qizhen was born to the same mother, and her status is noble, so the former emperor and the current emperor do not agree with her to marry Li Mingyuan, because the only county lord of the Manzhou Kingdom can only marry the son of heaven of a country and enjoy the most noble treatment.

"What is she here for? Biography..."Emperor Manzhou said in confusion last week.

After a while, someone brought a woman up, "Imperial sister Xue Yao knocked to see the emperor's brother, long live the emperor's brother, long live the emperor's brother, long live the emperor's sister, the imperial sister came today to report something important." ”

Emperor Manzhou Qizhen hurriedly said, "What's the matter with Xue Yao?" Tell me about it.... ”

"The minister sister wants to say that General Li Mingyuan has not actually left the capital, he has always been with the minister's sister, and the minister's sister has always been happy with him, doesn't the emperor know it? There was such a big incident in his family, so his sister invited him to the house for a few drinks, and he never left the capital..."Lord Xue Yao said suddenly.

Li Mingyuan is blinded again, what is the situation? Why is even the Lord of Xue Yao involved?

"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know where this is? How can you be fooled around here? Do you know how important a woman's reputation is? The emperor said angrily.

And at this moment, to everyone's surprise, someone came to report, "Emperor Qi, the imperial historian Lord Yuan has returned, and General Li Mingyuan has been arrested." ”

"Say it again, who did Lord Yuan bring back?" Emperor Zhou Qizhen glanced at Li Mingyuan standing in the main hall, couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked again.

"The Emperor is General Li Mingyuan...", the guard reported again.

The emperor was puzzled last week, "Interesting, Xuan...".

"Then Weichen retreats first..."Li Mingyuan also wondered, thinking to himself, is this a game that he said unintentionally?

"Xue Yao, you also step back for the time being," the emperor said to the county lord of Xue Yao last week.

"Yes" The Lord of Xue Yao County took the order, and retreated to the side of the pillar of the main hall with Li Mingyuan.

After a while, Emperor Zhou Qizhen really saw the imperial historian Yuan Qizhen bring a few people to the palace, one of them is Li Mingyuan, who is exactly the same as the previous Li Mingyuan, and there are two people, one of the Emperor Zhou Zhou Qizhen knew last week, it is Xiangmeng, that ranger.

"Your Majesty..., you have to be the master of Weichen! This Li Mingyuan, he wants to rebel! Just now, Weichen found Li Mingyuan outside the city and told him that the emperor asked him to return to Beijing, but who knew that he not only didn't listen, but also killed all the forty-five officers and soldiers brought by Weichen, if it weren't for Xiangmeng Shaoxia and her brother Wuxin Shaoxia arrived and saved Weichen, Weichen would not have the life to come back to see the emperor! If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask Xiangmeng Shaoxia and Wuxin Shaoxia, what Weichen said is true, and there is no lie..."As soon as the imperial doctor saw the emperor, he hurriedly kowtowed and saluted, crying to the emperor.

Emperor Zhou Qizhen walked down slowly, walked in front of Li Mingyuan below, and asked coldly, "Are you Li Mingyuan?" ”

Li Mingyuan was trapped with his hands, but he didn't have stage fright at all, and said, "It's really strange for the emperor to ask this, if I am not Li Mingyuan, then who does the emperor think I am?" ”

"I want to know who you are, too? Why do you want to pretend to be my courtier? What is your purpose? The emperor said angrily.

"Haha... Since the emperor sees through it, I don't have to pretend anymore, my purpose is, of course, to make the emperor and General Li Mingyuan lose harmony, so as to create civil strife in Manzhou, so that my country can take advantage of it and annihilate your Manzhou State in one fell swoop" The fake Li Mingyuan said with a laugh.

Imperial Doctor Yuan Qizhen said suspiciously: "What does the emperor mean?" Isn't this General Lee Myung-won? ”

"I think beautifully, I and General Li Mingyuan are like brothers, how can you people from enemy countries be separated?" The emperor did not answer the words of Yuan Qizhen, the imperial historian, but showed the fake Li Mingyuan that their relationship between the monarch and the minister was harmonious.

"Oh? Is it? Then why didn't I see General Li Mingyuan today, isn't it as good as the emperor said? Fake Li Mingyuan asked suspiciously.

"I don't need to explain to you, if someone comes to take it, he will be put in a cell immediately, and he will be tortured to extract a confession, and see who appointed him..."

"Yes, if you dare to pretend to be my brother Li Mingyuan, you must not be spared..."At this time, the county lord of Xue Yao came out from behind the pillar and shouted pointing at the fake General Li Mingyuan.

At this moment, no one expected that the fake Li Mingyuan, who was tied all over his body, suddenly broke open the rope with a sound of "ah...", flew up, flew to the side of the county lord of Xue Yao, grabbed Xue Yao's neck and shouted, "Get out of the way, otherwise I will kill her...".

"Don't, don't hurt Lord Xue Yao..."Li Mingyuan also came out from behind the pillar at this time and hurriedly shouted.

"Lee, Lee Ming-won... How could there be two Li Mingyuan? Imperial Doctor Yuan Qizhen shouted.

The ministers also hurriedly shouted, "Traitor, don't hurt Lord Xue Yao...".

"Woo... Brother Huang, save me..."Lord Xue Yao cried and begged for help.

"Hurry up and let me go, otherwise I'm going to kill her, such a beautiful county lord, wouldn't it be a pity to see the king of Hades immediately, haha..."

Fake Li Mingyuan exited the main hall and found that the entire palace was surrounded by archers.

When Xiang Mengdu sweated for Wuxin, Wuxin suddenly pulled out his sword and said, "Your Majesty, Wuxin's brother and sister please go and catch the traitor...".

"I..."When Xiang Meng said that he couldn't go, he had been unintentionally pulled out.

"Don't come here, otherwise I'll really kill her..."As soon as the fake Li Mingyuan used his hand, the county lord of Xue Yao was immediately pinched, his face turned pale and he had difficulty breathing.

"Help, save me..."Xue Yao said intermittently.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is also going to help..."Li Mingyuan hurriedly said. Li Mingyuan was also really afraid that they had no intention of killing the Lord of Xue Yao, so his Li Mingyuan's sin was really great, he really didn't want to rebel! So hurriedly took the initiative to ask for help.

Wuxian took Xue Yao and retreated to the outside of the palace, a horse ran over from a distance, and there was no one immediately, Wuxian knew that it was prepared by Leng Mian, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Yao County Lord, got on the horse, and went into the distance.

Li Mingyuan, unintentionally, Xiangmeng chased after him...
