When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly got up, regardless of whether he was still naked, and regardless of the spring light revealed by Wu Zhaoyi in the bed, he shouted loudly: "Chen Ping... ”

Suddenly summoned in the middle of the night, Wu Zhaoyi grabbed Li Zhi in disgust: "Your Majesty, it's so late at night, everyone Chen also needs to rest." I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

Li Zhi was right to think about it, and lay down again. Wu Zhaoyi lay beside him obediently. However, now Li Zhi has no trace of thoughts, the emperor's instinct has occupied his heart, and he thinks about what Wu Zhaoyi just said, if this artillery is pulled to Chang'an City, and it is like this to the palace, what grand cause, what thousands of generations of Li Tang Jiangshan, they are all established into powder.

Wu Zhaoyi stretched out her white arm and hugged Li Zhi and said, "Did the concubine say the wrong thing and make Your Majesty worried?" ”

Li Zhi looked at the smallpox in the dormitory and said: "No, it was your words that made me wake up, I was carried away by such a big victory but forgot, such a weapon is also a threat to me, in case... ”

As he spoke, he hammered the edge of the bed: "Li Ting. . . Righteous businessman, hehe, his heart can be punished! ”

Wu Zhaoyi secretly laughed when he heard Li Zhi say these four words, the emperor said this, it means that you can say goodbye to the world, and there is no place for you in the world.

Before dawn, Li Zhi had already dressed and sat there waiting for Chen Ping's arrival. Who knew that Chen Ping hadn't arrived, but Xu Jingzong ran in sweating: "Your Majesty, Li Dongsheng wants to rebel!" Send someone to arrest him immediately! ”

Li Zhi, who was drinking tea, listened to his words and almost choked to death, and the little eunuch patted him on the back again and again before coughing a few times to ease his breath: "What are you talking nonsense?" Anyone would rebel, but he certainly wouldn't, I know him well, he's not the kind of person who is ambitious. ”

"Your Majesty, whether a person is rebelling is not based on his character or what he says, but by what he has done." Xu Jingzong presented the documents in his hand with both hands: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the problem that Wei Chen found after investigating his property during this time, it is really shocking!" ”

"Any questions?" Li Zhi watched Chen Ping enter the main hall, then opened the thick file, and looked at it seriously, his face was very relaxed, but the more he looked at it, the more solemn he became, and he was sweating profusely at the end: "In vain, Gu Zhen values him so much, he has done so many things behind my back... ”

Chen Ping listened to the little eunuch talk about Li Dongsheng outside, and he couldn't interject at this time. Li Zhi angrily threw the book on the table: "Xu Jingzong and Chen Ping, immediately lead a hundred horsemen to put Li Dongsheng's family in prison, and not a single one is allowed to escape!" ”

Xu Jingzong kowtowed and said: "Then Li Dongsheng's family went to Lantian County to sweep the tomb, but they never returned, and Weichen was anxious to find that not only Li Dongsheng's family, but also Li Jing's family, as well as those who were good friends with them, all disappeared... Based on the scale of their cotton business, Wechen estimates that they have all absconded overseas... ”

"Whoa!" Listening to Xu Jingzong's words, Li Zhi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart: "It turned out that I had been prepared for a long time, I was really blind to value him so much, and the first emperor also said that he was the prime minister left to me, but it turned out that he knew people and faces but didn't know their hearts." I'm so angry! ”

The emperor's idea is different from others, in his opinion, all people in the Tang Dynasty must obey him unconditionally, and any behavior that may harm or disrespect him is considered a rebellion.

In Li Zhi's heart, Li Dongsheng can also be regarded as the prime minister, as long as he does not make principled mistakes, he will sit firmly in this position after ten years.

I already value you so much, but you have long been ready to retreat and send all your family and relatives overseas, do you take me, the emperor, in your eyes?

The more Li Zhi thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, Li Dongsheng is rich and rivals the country, and he has powerful firearms to assist, the most important thing is that he himself has always done things unexpectedly, from the perspective that you haven't thought of, people can't figure out what he thinks.

"Spread my will, immediately block Chang'an City, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. You hurry up and take someone to arrest Li Dongsheng, don't let him escape... Li Zhi shouted hysterically: "If you dare to resist, you will be killed!" ”

After the two left, Li Zhi remembered that there was still a court meeting to be held today, and he didn't care that his court clothes had not been changed, so he walked directly towards the main hall in a blue shirt.

The hundred officials who had been lined up and waiting for the court to see Li Zhi turn around like this, and they were stunned at the same time. As soon as the inspector was about to put on a businesslike appearance, Li Zhi said: "Li Dongsheng, the prince of Lantian County, is involved in rebellion, let's see how to deal with it!" ”

The civil and military officials present were dark, the eldest grandson Wuji had just been plotting against the case for more than a month, I don't know how many families and officials were unlucky, plus the people involved in the rebellion of King Jing Li Yuanjing in the front, the officials were already panicked, and now you have another Li Dongsheng plot case, is this to sweep away all the officials present?

Li Zhi saw that the ministers were all suspicious, and handed the materials handed over by Xu Jingzong to the little eunuch and asked him to read them aloud.

Listening to Li Dongsheng's premeditated transfer of his family and friends overseas, someone suddenly interjected: "If Li Dongsheng has the ability to send a large number of people overseas, then there will be a suspicion of a large number of missing persons in recent years." ”

Li Zhi's heart moved: "What kind of missing person case are you talking about?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in the past few years, the local government has found that there are cases of disappearance of whole families in the population under its jurisdiction, but there has been no result after the investigation, and only a missing person has been reported, but there have been more and more similar cases for more than a year, and it was found that there were more than 100,000 people... Such a large number is simply terrifying. Originally, they were all residents of the seaside, and no one paid attention to them because of the sparse population, but now they are all in a densely populated area, and the whole family disappeared without a trace overnight. ”

"More than 100,000 people?" Li Zhi felt a chill in his heart: "What does he want to do... ”

"Your Majesty, it is said that the families of those criminals in the case of the eldest grandson Wuji's rebellion are all going to be exiled, but many of them have died violently on the way. It looks suspicious now! ”

A group of people discussed where, the atmosphere was very lively, and those families even said things like "I already knew he wasn't a good thing".

Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin, who have a good relationship with Li Dongsheng, are a little embarrassed, they usually walk close, but now such a thing suddenly pops up, so they can only retreat and not arouse the emperor's suspicion.

At this time, news kept coming back: "Li Dongsheng is not at home!" ”

"Li Dongsheng is not in the store."

"Li Dongsheng is not in the workshop."

Everyone present was thinking about a question: Didn't Li Dongsheng run away!
