"Your Majesty first revealed the idea of abolishing the crown prince, and those traitors wanted to take advantage of this to establish credit, so they naturally fabricated charges and did everything. Why doesn't Your Majesty meditate for three days before making a decision? is as anxious as Su Zong, and when he makes a big mistake, he can't regret it! ”

"But there are ministers who support me in doing so." The emperor had something to say.

Li Mi was also polite, and pointed out sharply: "Since ancient times, there have been about a few people who have coveted credit by making decisions, Yang Su, Xu Jingzong, and Li Linfu. After Yang Su, the Sui Dynasty collapsed; After Xu Jingzong, Wu Zhou Dynasty Tang; After Li Linfu, Anshi rebelled - these people are not traitors who disturb the world. ”

Now the emperor also had a bottom in his heart, so he tentatively asked Li Mi: "Then according to Mr., the one who supports the prince is the loyal minister of Sheji?" ”

"Close, Your Majesty." Li Mi confided the most core words.

At this time, Emperor Li Shi couldn't help but remember that when his position in the Shaoyang Courtyard was threatened, it was indeed Gao Yue and Li Mi who helped him deal with it, and now they are just projecting this concept onto their crown prince.

"So how should I explain the involvement of the prince and the demon monk to the courtiers and the world?"

Li Mi picked up the feather fan and talked eloquently: "The demon monk case is Guanghong's great rebellion, inciting the jailers and the people, and colluding with the Huaixi rebel town, not to mention the prince who has always lived in Shaoyang Courtyard, and even the princess of Gaoguo can hardly be called any substantive relationship." If Your Majesty has no mustard in the future, and still loves the prince, the four Yi in the sea know that they are all grateful for Your Majesty's benevolence, and they all see Your Majesty as their father; But if His Majesty only relies on the guilt of the prince's wife and mother (mother-in-law), he will abolish the son-in-law and set up a nephew, and the minister is deeply afraid that the inner court will be uneasy in the future. Moreover, when the minister was studying for His Majesty in the Penglai Palace Academy in the past, he had seen the prince, and the prince's expression and demeanor were by no means a face with different aspirations, and the only thing the minister was worried about at that time was that the prince would be too weak and gentle, so he would be persecuted and slandered by the tyrants. ”

The latter words touched the true feeling of the emperor's heart, he sighed, tears were about to fall, and he choked up and said to Li Mi, "What Mr. said, I deeply believe it, I am really worried about the character of the prince, I don't know who he looks like?" ”

Li Mi just replied: "As seen by the ministers, the prince's personality is absolutely similar to that of the late Empress Zhaode." ”

At the mention of Empress Zhaode, the emperor's tears completely collapsed, and he immediately sat on the rope bed and covered his face with his sleeves.

Li Mi also panicked, and quickly knelt down and shouted about the death penalty.

As a result, the emperor stepped forward and held Li Mi, "If it weren't for Mr., I would almost have made a big mistake!" ”

Li Mi also cried, "Today's conversation between Your Majesty and the minister, please don't leak it out." ”

The emperor nodded heavily, and said that even if Mr. did not say anything, I had my own plan in my heart, "From now on, I hope that Mr. can continue to protect the crown prince, how can I depose the son of me and Empress Zhaode, and push my grandson into the fire pit?" All this is just a test of the hearts of the people of the government. ”

At this time, Li Mi smiled bitterly and pointed to the snow-colored white hair between his sideburns, "The minister is now sixty and thirty years old, even if he does his best for His Majesty, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive for three or five years." It is not a pity for the minister to die, I hope that Your Majesty will be kind to the prince from now on, the inner court will be harmonious, and Wei Gao, Gao Yue, Jia Tan, Du Huangshang and other loyal ministers will be reused outside, and it will be absolutely possible to restore the prosperous world, so that the minister will die and be immortal! ”

After the summoning of the emperor and Li Mi, when Li Mi walked out of the pavilion door of Xiaoyan Ying Palace, his face was pale and he didn't say a word.

Immediately, the emperor ordered the Hanlin Academy to issue a document, saying that the princess of Gao Guo had defiled the court, handed over the foreign ministers, and committed suicide by poisoning herself for known crimes; Xiao Ding, the prince's mansion, did not know how to avoid the clan, adultered the princess of Gaoguo, and handed over the official staff to kill; The Shaoyang Yuan made Wang Zhongyan lose his guardianship responsibilities and was exiled to the Rongguan Jingluo Mansion.

As for the four sons of Princess Gao Guo, Pei Li and Xiao Wan all surrendered to the left and exiled to Lingnan.

Xiao Fu, the envoy of the Lingnan Jiedu, was also implicated, and was demoted to the state Sima, and the position of the Jiedu envoy was taken over by Du You.

For a time, there was no change in color and shock in the court.

Zhang Yansheng was even more proud, knowing that the prince would be abolished. On the 24th of September in the autumn, Cui Hanheng formed a huge alliance group with the secretary of the military department, Ma Sui with the secretary of the military department, and Ma Sui with the secretary of the military department and the marshal of Longyou, and his subordinates engaged in Dou Shen, Lu Wen, and Yuan Tongzhi (who had been hired as the secretary of Ma Suixing's camp).

According to the agreement between Tang and Xifan, on October 10, they met in Huizhou Xiji.

Originally, Xifan also asked Hun Yang and Tang Taiwei Duan Xiushi to participate in the alliance together, but Li Mi and other courtiers were sparse, saying that Xifan was cunning and could not be trusted, Hun Ying ostensibly claimed to participate in the alliance, but in fact he led 5,000 troops to be stationed at the Jingchuan mouth east of the sand castle to be prepared; In addition, let the Shence, Jingyuan, and Fengxiang soldiers and horses in the destruction of sand castles, Pingliang, Huating, and Baicao be ready for battle; The 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers who entered the territory of Longzhou were led by Liu Chang, the soldiers and horses of Xuanwudu, and seized the time to build a city in Huangyuan.

Before Dou Shen left, he was gearing up, in fact, after he talked to Gao Yue that day, his heart was also touched, like me, who was born in the shade, and spent the first half of his life in the prodigal and treacherous past, and then it was time to change his mind and really make contributions, and when he heard that he was able to join the Xiji Alliance this time, he couldn't help but be very happy - this time he returned from his life, he should be able to be promoted to a fifth-grade official, so that he could marry Yunhe, the daughter of Cui Kuan, of Shengpingfang.

Although Yunhe is remarried, Dou Shen heard that the other party is a goddess-like existence of Xiangshui, with a high background, and can marry Yunhe as a wife, and his life after that will be complete.

Dou Shen was thirty years old, and he played all the handmaids, Meiji and prostitutes, and now he also wanted to settle down.

But Dou Shen was a little worried about the clan, and he also vaguely felt that this meeting would not be so simple, but the clan was already the "Honglu Temple Shaoqing" appointed by the officials and the Son of Heaven, and it was very difficult to maneuver, and at the same time, he had the assurance of Ma Sui and Yuan Tongzhi, saying that this trip was absolutely safe. Dou Shen himself worshiped the "five brothers" again, and after chatting with the statue of the five brothers, he finally agreed to Dou Shen's long trip.

In front of the Lingao Station, facing the many official chariots and horses who came to see him off, Dou Shen was generous, looking at the endless autumn colors in the mountains and plains of western Beijing, drank the glass of wine in his hand, and chanted two poems: "Persuade, persuade the gentleman to do more, one, a glass of wine, there is no one in Yangguan in the west!" I'll take another drink. ”

The cultured people in the send-off team all covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that this Langjun of the Dou family had the wrong person to chant poetry.

At the same time, in the middle of the court, the emperor asked the cabinet to make Xuanmuzi in the main hall of the Xuanzheng Palace, and to call the king of Pu in the house of the ten kings alone, so that the king of Pu came to the courtyard first.

Hearing the news, Zhang Yansheng in the political hall couldn't help touching his beard proudly, full of self-satisfaction.
