At three o'clock, a carriage was speeding on its way to the palace.

Inside the car were Xiangwang and Li Sanlang, their expressions were solemn, and they both knew in their hearts what the eight words on the stone statue meant? Whether it is a foreshadowing from heaven or a man-made conspiracy, it is not expected to be a blessing; At this moment, Li Sanlang felt more and more clearly that the crisis that Shendu had encountered in recent days was definitely not over, he looked up at Xiangwang, so he told him everything he had discussed with Li Ke and Pei Min last night.

After hearing this, King Xiang didn't make a sound immediately, his already solemn face tightened a little tighter, and after a long time, he finally sighed and said: "San Lang, my father thought that this matter was over, and he discussed other important matters with the prince all night last night, but I never expected that this morning... Speaking of this, King Xiang paused, looked at Li Sanlang with an anxious expression, and continued: "This auspicious and unpredictable situation, you must be fully prepared, no matter what happens, you must try to save your life, in order to plan for the future!" ”

King Xiang's words couldn't help but make Li Sanlang a little frightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Father thinks this matter has come to this point?" ”

King Xiang hesitated for a moment and replied: "This happened too suddenly, and my father didn't have time to think about it, but from the current point of view, this time it should be a murderous thing!" ”

Li Sanlang was about to answer, when the suddenly speeding carriage was pulled by the coachman, the two of them were caught off guard, and fell down slightly, and King Xiang immediately shouted loudly outside the car: "Why is this so! ”

The coachman did not answer, and a eunuch's voice sounded outside the car: "Please forgive the king, the incident happened suddenly, and it was a small man who stopped the carriage." ”

Li Sanlang lifted the curtain of the carriage, only to see a eunuch kneeling in front of the carriage, and the coachman was also shocked, thinking that the eunuch suddenly rushed out and stopped the carriage, so it was so. King Xiang looked out along the curtain of the car, and the person who came was the prince's personal eunuch, King Xiang's heart tightened, could it be that something happened to the prince? Otherwise, he immediately dissipated his anger and asked repeatedly, "It was you, what made you like this?" Is it difficult to become a prince... ”

Seeing that the prime minister was no longer to blame, the eunuch hurriedly got up and approached the car, he didn't expect Li Sanlang to be in the car, but he expected it to be fine, so he whispered to the car: "I am ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to intercept the car of the prime minister here, I see that the car is driving too fast, I am afraid that I can't stop it, so it is so!" Frightened by King Xiang and Li Sicheng, the little one is here to make amends to the two! ”

Hearing that the prince was sent here, King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It happened suddenly, it's okay!" The crown prince asked you to intercept the king, what is the so-called? ”

The eunuch continued: "On the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, please don't enter the palace first, and gather at Wanghe Tower. ”

Wanghe Tower? The prince has made an appointment to enter the palace to face the saint together, why did he suddenly change to Wanghelou to get together, King Xiang was a little puzzled, but when he saw that the person who came was the prince's personal eunuch, he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly replied: "I'm tired to lead the way!" ”

The eunuch replied, "Oh! Then he jumped into the carriage and sat down beside the coachman, and the carriage sped up again; Li Sanlang looked at his father puzzled, and whispered, "This... The king shook his head slightly, motioning for him to stop talking.

After a while, the carriage stopped, Li Sanlang lifted the carriage curtain, and sure enough, he arrived at Wanghe Tower, and the eunuch hurriedly got out of the carriage to lead the way in front, and led the two of them all the way to the upstairs of Wanghe Tower. Finally arrived at the largest room on the top floor, the eunuch turned around and whispered: "Back to the Prime Minister, Li Sicheng, the prince is waiting for the two in the room, and the small downstairs is guarding." With that, he said no more, turned and went downstairs.

Xiangwang and Li Sanlang glanced at each other, Li Sanlang unconsciously clenched the sword in his hand, stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and a voice came from the house: "Come in!" It was the voice of the prince, the two of them relaxed a little, Li Sanlang carefully pushed open the door, and it was indeed the prince who was sitting on the opposite door, and there was one person in the room, that is, Zhang Cambodia, until this moment, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly entered the house.

Without waiting for the king to speak, the prince got up and said: "The incident happened suddenly, so don't blame the prince and brother to come here!" ”

King Xiang replied: "My brother is serious, but it is just a sudden change, I just have some doubts in my heart, dare to ask my brother what is like this?" ”

After the prince ushered the two into their seats, he glanced at Zhang Cambodia and said slowly: "The old man of the Xin Qi Pavilion has thought carefully about this matter, and sent someone to the palace gate to stop the palace, otherwise we may fall for the scheme!" ”

After hearing this, King Xiang and Li Sanlang were immediately full of confusion, and looked at Zhang Cambodia together, Zhang Cambodia took out a note from his arms, handed it to King Xiang, and said slowly: "This note was sent by General Huan Yanfan to the old minister this morning. ”

King Xiang took the note, hurriedly opened it, and sure enough, it was the same as the one in the prince, the same eight words, King Xiang still didn't understand, so he asked: "This content is the same as what this king saw at the prince's place, could it be that there is something wrong with this note?" Please also ask Zhang Ge Lao to make it clear. ”

Zhang Ge Lao looked at King Xiang and Li Sanlang, and said: "There is nothing wrong with the note itself, and the old minister can also conclude that this note must have been sent by Huan Yanfan, and the content on the stone statue must be the same." ”

When Zhang Cambodia said this, King Xiang and Li Sanlang were even more puzzled, and King Xiang continued to ask: "As Zhang Ge Lao said, what are the traps in this matter?" Shouldn't we go to the palace as soon as possible to discuss this matter with Your Majesty? It must be a conspiracy of the wrongdoers! ”

Zhang Cambodia sighed softly, took back the note from King Xiang's hand, and whispered the words on it: "The empress is funeral, the world is peaceful!" After reading it, he looked at King Xiang and Li Sanlang again, and asked in a low voice: "According to King Xiang and Li Sicheng, what do these eight characters mean?" ”

King Xiang looked angry and replied in a low voice: "This meaning is obvious, why should the elder ask again?" It must be a person with bad intentions who curses His Majesty to bury the heavens, so that the world can be peaceful, this is really a great rebellion, if anyone is found to have done it, it will destroy its nine clans, in order to tell the world! ”

Zhang Cambodia looked at Li Sanlang again and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Cambodia's question was a wake-up call to Li Sanlang, and Li Sanlang replied in a trembling voice: "Is it possible... The peace in the world refers to... My aunt, Princess Taiping? ”

As soon as Li Sanlang's words came out, King Xiang was surprised, although he was already familiar with the content of the note, but he still took the note from Zhang Cambodia's hand again, read it carefully several times, and finally looked at the prince, and replied in a trembling voice: "Is it possible... Is this the work of the Peace? She wants to use this method to create public opinion to the people of the world, so as to seek a big position? ”

Zhang Cambodia shook his head lightly and said, "According to the old minister's opinion, this matter is not so simple, and it is not yet conclusive?" ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly asked, "Why does the elder judge like this?" ”

Zhang Cambodia looked at Li Sanlang and replied: "If Taiping acts like this, isn't it too dangerous for her?" Without all certainty, if this matter is revealed, how will His Majesty deal with her? Without waiting for Li Sanlang to answer, he continued: "Taiping Xuan wanted to launch a mutiny yesterday, but there was no public opinion on this matter at that time, so why should she be in a hurry? Besides, yesterday's Taiping matter has been revealed, she must have tried to destroy this stone statue overnight, it is impossible to let this matter develop, such an important matter, she must not have forgotten it, right? ”

Seeing that the three of them no longer answered, Zhang Cambodia continued: "Besides, the place where the Buddha statue was born happens to be the place where His Majesty lit the lamp to worship the Buddha, and this matter is not his responsibility, and it is expected that it will be difficult for her to operate this matter." ”

When Zhang Cambodia said this, Li Sanlang's eyes were suddenly surprised, and he asked in a low voice: "What does the elder mean is that he is responsible for building the lampstand... What did Zhang Yizhi do? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Cambodia to speak, the prince replied first: "It can't be him!" It's just a face in front of His Majesty, how can He De do this? Besides, he has received all the grace of the world, so why bother? ”

Zhang Cambodia was silent when he heard this, and seemed to agree with the prince's opinion.

Li Saburo continued to ask, "Who could that be?" ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "It is indeed difficult to deduce at the moment, so we can only let all military camps be on guard and wait and see the further development of the situation." ”

King Xiang asked: "Then dare to ask the elder of the pavilion, since this matter is someone's bad intentions, shouldn't we report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible?" ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "Dare to ask King Xiang, do you believe that this matter is a sign from heaven?" ”

King Xiang didn't think much about it, and immediately replied: "This is nonsense, and Anhui is a sign from heaven?" It must be artificially framed! ”

Zhang Cambodia continued: "Your Majesty is extremely wise, and how can she not know that this matter is artificially framed? But if someone went to tell her at this moment, what would she think about it? ”

Li Sanlang replied: "Your Majesty will definitely think that the person who took the initiative to meet must be the mastermind behind this matter, and intends to frame the peace!" ”

After hearing this, King Xiang suddenly understood in his heart that he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, but fortunately, Zhang Ge Lao mentioned it in time, otherwise he and the prince would have been tricked at this moment, but Princess Taiping cleared her suspicions.

King Xiang said in a trembling voice: "This matter is so dangerous! After that, he bowed to Zhang Khan and continued: "Xie Ge Lao rescues!" ”

Zhang Ge Lao hurriedly got up and helped King Xiang up, and said, "King Xiang is serious!" ”

Li Sanlang continued to ask: "Is it possible that someone set up a bureau to clear Aunt Taiping's suspicion?" ”

Zhang Cambodia pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Probably not, this incident happened a few days ago, how could this person know that Taiping wanted to rebel at that time!" To say that Taiping left a way back for herself before the incident, with her intelligence, the old minister would never have thought of such a step. ”

The crown prince and King Xiang knew Princess Taiping best, and they couldn't help nodding after hearing it.

Zhang Cambodia continued: "According to the old minister's opinion, the most terrifying thing about this matter is that the person who planned it was able to accurately predict that Huan Yanfan was determined to write a letter to the prince and the old minister, and wanted to frame us through this means, and his mind was not secret! ”
