At dusk, Li Heng, who was disguised and disguised, hurried out of the palace with two guards, although the East Palace is currently facing a crisis, but the crown prince Li Heng has not been abolished after all, the people of the East Palace go out to do errands, and Yu Linwei, who controls the palace gate, will not be blocked.

Li Heng pretended to be a eunuch, and when he left the palace, he drove straight to the southeast corner of the city, the meeting place set in Zhang Xuan's secret letter, the secluded courtyard where Xiao Shisanlang and Li Susu lived. [..]

Zhang Xuan and Xiao Shisanlang were drinking and chatting, although they were anxious, but on the face, Zhang Xuan didn't show anything.

Hearing a gentle knock on the door, Xiao Shisanlang stood up and smiled faintly, "Brother, your prince is here......"

The door was opened, and Li Heng and the three of them quickly rushed in, and the door was immediately closed again.

Li Heng raised his eyes and saw Zhang Xuan, who was wearing a cloth robe, standing to the side with a smile, his eyes were red, his lips trembled, and he called softly, "Zizhan ......"

Zhang Xuan sighed, stepped forward to worship, "Your Highness, the minister is safe and sound, and His Highness Lao is worried." ”

"Please come into the house and talk about it."

Li Heng told all the information he could know about the current situation and many things inside and outside the palace, and the more Zhang Xuan listened, the more gloomy his face became, and the matter was indeed more complicated and dangerous than he imagined.

Li Wan has already launched it in an all-round way. Gao Xianzhi, Pei Dunfu, Xue Dewang, minister of the DPRK and China, more than ten princes and princesses, plus Li Wan's own influence and energy, this is already a force that is enough to influence Li Longji's decision-making! If Li Wan pulls Yang Guozhong again, then Li Heng's abolition will be a foregone conclusion.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's gloomy expression, Li Heng's heart sank, he was forced to the front of an abyss, an invisible knife was across his neck, there was no way back, he could only move forward - now Zhang Xuan has become his last psychological support, if Zhang Xuan has no power to return to heaven, he can only honestly go back to the palace to lead the neck to be killed, or resign himself to fate.

"Zizhan, this palace immediately wrote to my father and the emperor to ask for guilt, that hateful woman, this palace will be divorced or it will be ......" Li Heng gritted his teeth and said softly.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you ask for a crime or not." Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Heng, "At present, it is not Your Majesty who is persecuting His Highness, but King Rong's party. ”

"As for Zhang Liangdi, Your Majesty should only be angry for a while, and he won't pursue it too much. Let's put this matter aside for now. ”

Zhang Liangdi, a woman with ambitions, later caused trouble in the court, and was one of the important figures who caused Li Heng's tragedy. Zhang Xuan knew that he didn't have a good impression of her.

But at this moment, it is not the time to hold Zhang Liangdi responsible. As for the emperor's side, it can actually be ignored. Because Zhang Liangdi's grandmother Dou is the sister of Xuanzong's mother, Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, she once raised Xuanzong, and her chances were very long, for Dou's sake, Li Longji should not be ruthless.

As long as Li Longji does not be ruthless to Zhang Liangdi, in fact, there is no more blame for Li Heng on this matter.

"At the moment, the crisis is imminent...... King Rong cooperated with many courtiers and royal families to write to the palace, intending to force His Majesty to abolish His Royal Highness and establish King Rong instead......" Zhang Xuan's words At this point, he paused and glanced at Li Heng.

Li Heng's face was extremely pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in a trembling voice, "Zizhan, why can Qing teach me?" How can you save me? ”

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Your Highness, although the situation is critical, it has not yet reached a desperate point out of control. Wait, there's still a chance. ”

"First, although King Rong is fierce this time, with His Majesty's temperament, he will inevitably be disgusted. Of course, King Rong understands this, but he is just clearly trying to force the palace. But the key depends on whether His Majesty buys King Rong's account. ”

"If you want to win the support of Your Majesty, there is a role of one person who is crucial."

"Who?"

"Yang Guozhong and the Yang family. At this moment, only if Yang Guozhong and the people of the Yang family are firmly on His Highness's side, it is possible for His Majesty to change the holy will. Zhang Xuan said softly.

Li Heng couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice, "Yang Guozhong has always despised this palace, and this palace has no contact with the Yang family...... To get the Yang family to support the palace, at this juncture, I am afraid it will be as difficult as the sky. ”

"On Yang Guozhong's side, the minister did his best to operate. If His Royal Highness can trust the minister, the next matter will be taken care of by the minister. ”

When Zhang Xuan said this, he stared deeply at the crown prince Li Heng, lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "When life and death are at stake, between the sword and the sword, either you die or I live...... The minister only asked His Royal Highness: Can you be open-minded, can you be ruthless? ”

Li Heng's heart trembled, and he slowly looked up at Zhang Xuan, the flickering light in his eyes gradually solidified into a touch of crazy resoluteness, he nodded resolutely, and said angrily, "Zizhan, there is no way back in this palace. Retreat is a dead end, rather than sit and wait, it is better to fight to the death! ”

Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief and nodded silently, "Your Highness, without further ado, we will start to act separately." This is a secret letter written by the minister, and he also asks His Royal Highness to think of it anyway and hand it over to the concubine Niangniang alone...... Whether our actions can be succeeded depends on whether Your Majesty can say that the concubine is out of the palace! ”

Li Heng gritted his teeth, "However, this palace understands what to say, this palace immediately returns to the palace to write a blood book, if this palace can escape this catastrophe, it will be announced to the government and the opposition, and this palace worships the noble concubine as its mother...... When he ascends the throne in the Japanese palace, he will respect Niangniang as the queen mother. ”

"Well, what Your Highness said is very true. As long as His Royal Highness said that he would move his mother out of the palace, the minister would be sure to persuade Yang Guozhong to stand up and publicly support His Highness. ”

"Besides......" Zhang Xuan groaned for a while, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I heard that King Rong has a close relationship with Concubine Mei of Shangyang East Palace, and it is quite ......ambiguous."

Li Heng was startled, looked at Zhang Xuan in shock and frowned, "Zizhan, where did you start with this?" Although Concubine Mei was demoted, she was still the son of her father and the emperor...... Although King Rong framed and persecuted the main palace, the main palace could not ignore the human road and ruined the reputation of the royal family......"

This Concubine Mei's surname is Jiang Caiping, Li Longji's favorite concubine in the early days, and she is also beautiful. It's just that later Li Longji fell in love with Yang Yuhuan again, and after Yang Yuhuan was favored, Concubine Mei was thrown into the cold palace because of the failure to compete for favor, and since then she has basically faded out of the Tang court's visual text """ line. If it hadn't been for Zhang Xuan to mention it this time, Li Hengdu would have forgotten about this former emperor's concubine.

Zhang Xuan secretly sunburned in his heart, and said in his heart that the current emperor can even occupy his daughter-in-law, what kind of human ethics do you Li royal family talk about. If you want to say that your Li royal family attaches great importance to Lunchang, I'm afraid that even the dogs of Chang'an don't believe it.

But if you think so in your heart, you can't say it with your lips.

Zhang Xuan sighed. He looked at Li Heng with disappointment and shook his head, "Your Highness, Fang Caichen asked His Highness if he can be open-minded and ruthless?" His Royal Highness replied that the minister would fight to the death, but His Royal Highness was still such a woman's kindness, so how should the minister do it? ”

Li Heng's expression changed, and he hesitated for a moment before staring deeply at Zhang Xuan and said in a trembling voice, "Zizhan, where did you get the news from?" It's about the majesty of my father, but I can't make it up out of thin air, otherwise I ......"

"Your Highness, since the minister entered the East Palace, have you ever said a lie in front of Your Highness?"

"No, I didn't."

"Your Highness, the minister took precautions more than half a month ago and sent people to ambush people outside the Shangyang East Palace...... According to the report, Li Wan, the king of Rong, had secretly disguised himself as a eunuch and entered and exited the Shangyang East Palace six times in ten days, and each time he stayed for about an hour. A prince, in and out of the cold palace, has a private meeting with the imperial concubine, what does it mean, presumably His Royal Highness knows better than the ministers. ”

Li Heng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, looked at Zhang Xuan in shock, and couldn't say a word.

Zhang Xuan smiled, but he didn't explain further, he knew that Li Heng needed a little time to digest this sudden shocking information.

Zhang Xuan once read an absurd story in a wild history in his previous life, saying that Li Longji's former favorite concubine Concubine Mei was inadvertently entangled with King Rong Li Wan because she was beaten into the cold palace, and had an affair. Later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Li Longji fled Chang'an in a hurry, forgetting the concubine in the cold palace; And Li Wan, the king of Rong, also died of a sudden illness on the way to the rebels under order, and lost his care for Concubine Mei, so that Concubine Mei finally died tragically in the chaos.

Zhang Xuan didn't believe in this kind of thing. But later, because Li Wan's footsteps were approaching, Zhang Xuan secretly sent several guards of the East Palace to work in a squad to lurk in the deserted Shangyang East Palace in a remote corner of the northeast of the imperial city to monitor Concubine Mei's movements.

Fortunately, on the third day, the guards came with the news that King Rong Li Wan had entered the cold palace in disguise to meet Concubine Mei privately. Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, so he asked the guards to continue to monitor and secretly investigate, and finally confirmed that Li Wan and Concubine Mei's private relationship should have been for many years.

Originally, Zhang Xuan didn't want to make a noise, because this method can only be used as a last resort.

But now that Li Wan launched too early, too urgently, and too quickly, he didn't leave Zhang Xuan time to calmly share with you Baidu Tiantang Dasheng Bar] to arrange the response, Zhang Xuan thought of this stubble. And since Li Wan killed him and made a ruthless move, Zhang Xuan is not a saint and gentleman, and if someone stabbed him, of course he did not hesitate to return the knife!

Li Heng sighed and said softly with difficulty, "Zizhan, what do you want this palace to do?" Let's just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush. Hongu was forced to do this, and he didn't have anything to say. Since Li Wan is unkind, then don't blame the palace for being unjust. ”

Zhang Xuan leaned close to Li Heng's ear and said a few words softly.

The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched, but he nodded silently.

Seeing that Li Heng agreed, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He clapped his hands gently, the door of the living room opened, and Xiao Shisanlang, who looked indifferent and calm, walked in slowly.

"Your Highness, this is Xiao Shisanlang, the minister's righteous brother, who is strong in martial arts and courageous, and absolutely reliable. This time, Chen Neng escaped with the assassins, all of whom were saved by his brother. The minister's meaning is to let him enter the palace with His Highness, firstly, to protect His Highness closely, and secondly, to share His Highness's worries and do something that His Highness has not done. ”
