It was dusk when Li Heng returned to the house, he was angry, the pace of getting off the carriage was too big, he didn't stand firm, staggered a few steps, and pressed his hand on the ground in time to avoid making a fool, the groom panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, he saw Li Jingzhong coming out of the door, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Gonggong Li, come and help me!" "Although Li Heng is as light as Lu Chai, but the prince's daughter and precious body, how can he easily touch it?

Li Jingzhong has not changed much, only a lot fatter than before, he has been serving Li Heng, although he has done a lot of things for Li Longji, but Li Longji seems to have forgotten him, with Li Heng being deposed, his status has also declined sharply, from the original first celebrity in the East Palace, the eunuch who has to look at his eyes, to the person who is now gray-faced and gray-faced, and even the coachman can call him straight.

Although it has been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, but when I met Li Jingzhong here in this life, the gap is too outrageous, and he is a famous Li Fuguo in history!

The coachman's arms were thick, Li Jingzhong didn't dare to scold angrily, so he could only curse in his heart, and ran out with a smiling face, but he was startled when he saw Li Heng, the hem of his robe was all dirt, and a small piece of oily skin was rubbed on the back of his hand, and dense blood beads appeared.

Li Jingzhong didn't have time to take a closer look, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Heng and said to the coachman: "You go!" It's okay to have me here. "His only privilege now is that he can hook up with the master, and this can no longer be robbed by the coachman.

Li Heng was very thin, like a chicken in the eyes of the fat and strong Li Jingzhong, he slowly helped him and entered the house step by step, "Lord Wang, don't hurt your precious body anymore." Rest first, and I'll call someone to find the Imperial Doctor. ”

Suddenly, he touched a hard thing in Li Heng's underwear, like a box, but Li Heng pushed him away like a thief, and said coldly: "Just rub a piece of skin, it's not that serious, you don't need to go to the imperial doctor, you go!" ”

looked at Li Heng and entered the inner room. Li Jingzhong's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of resentment, and he was a little resentful of Li Heng in his heart. Usually he didn't dare to show it, but now Li Heng pushed him away. This resentment is invisibly magnified several times.

He saw Li Heng go in and close the door, and the sound of putting down the door chain, seeing that he was so careful and mysterious that he didn't even change his clothes. Li Jingzhong moved, he slowly stood on the chair, peeked in through the lamp hole in the wall, and saw Li Heng carefully take out something from his arms, put it in a dark compartment at the head of the bed, and level it out. He sat up straight. He said loudly: "Li Jingzhong." Change the clothes of this king! ”

Li Jingzhong was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair, and he hurriedly got off the ground. wiped the footprints on the chair, took a set of clean clothes and sent them in, and while changing Li Heng's clothes, he said, "Lord Wang, go to bed early!" I'm going to greet the emperor tomorrow, and I have to get up for the second watch. ”

"I know, you go and prepare the etiquette, you can't be negligent tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Li Jingzhong secretly glanced at the dark grid and slowly retreated.

.

The lights were dim, and Li Jingzhong sat outside, his heart was so nervous that he was 'bang!' Bang! 'Straight jump, last month, after Li Heng was suddenly received by the emperor, his life Li Jingzhong also underwent earth-shaking changes, in a dark night, he was taken to King Qing's study, King Qing gave him five hundred taels of gold, patted him on the shoulder, let him be loyal to himself, five hundred taels of gold is important, but more importantly, King Qing is the future emperor! This is already well known, Li Jingzhong agreed without hesitation, the bird chooses a good tree to perch, he doesn't want to serve a waste generation.

Li Cong immediately ordered him to spy on Li Heng, and if there was a special situation, he should report to him immediately, but in the past month, the days have passed dullly, and there are no special circumstances.

Li Heng snored in the room, he drank some wine today, and slept very sweetly, Li Jing was loyal to the side, tiptoed into the inner room, the room was very dark, he turned around and closed the door gently, squatted down and slowly crawled to Li Heng's bedside, he slept soundly, there was nothing unusual, 'Click! With a bang, the sound of the silent night was particularly loud, Li Jingzhong was so shocked that his heart was about to jump out, he froze, and after a while, he saw Li Heng turn over, say something vaguely, and fall asleep again.

Li Jingzhong reached into the dark compartment, which was full of pearls, jade and gemstones, and suddenly, he touched a long strip of things, it was it, he was so careful that he took it out, and walked quickly to the outer room, only then did he see clearly, his hand was a long iron box, he slowly opened it, and inside was a letter, yellow and red letters, his heart 'bang! Bang! He jumped up, he had been in the East Palace for a long time, and he knew this kind of letter, which was the emperor's edict, that is, the secret decree.

Li Jingzhong turned it over and over and took a closer look, and then looked at the sleeping Li Heng, who didn't have this thing when he changed his clothes when he went out today, so he must have got it from outside.

The envelope was not sealed, Li Jingzhong took out the secret decree inside, and read it in the light with trembling hands, it was the emperor who ordered King Guangping to send an envoy to Daqin, there is nothing new, but you can report it, Li Jingzhong put the secret decree back in the iron box, he suddenly hesitated, there was no evidence, how could King Qing believe him.

"Just show him! At most, there is a facsimile, and he probably won't want the original. Li Jingzhong took out the secret decree again, put it in his arms, and re-entered the house to put the iron box back in the dark compartment.

It was still early, Li Heng slept soundly, and he wouldn't wake up in two or three hours, Li Jingzhong found two maids, told them a few words, and quietly slipped out of the back door.

Li Heng's mansion and Li Cong's mansion are less than a hundred steps apart, but Li Jingzhong went around a big *** to the back door of Qingwang's mansion, he flashed his hand ring, and a family member immediately took him into the mansion to see Li Cong.

Li Cong was drinking and reading in the study, but Li Jingzhong suddenly took out the secret decree, which made him feel as if he had bumped into a ghost during the day, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he took two steps back, 'Whoa! All the wine bottles and glasses on the plate fell to the ground and shattered, and after a long time, he asked in a trembling voice, "Has the King of Guangping returned?" ”

:

"Your Majesty didn't see King Guangping come back!" Li Jingzhong saw Li Cong's shocked appearance, he was also worried, worried that Li Cong would not return the secret decree to him, and he would not be able to go back to explain. Once Lee Hyung knew. The consequences are unimaginable.

But Li Cong didn't think about him, his mind was in a mess, he pulled Li Jingzhong up, and said urgently: "You go with me!" Li Congdi's carriage quickly drove towards Yang Guozhong's mansion.

.

"My father was summoned to Huaqing Palace by the emperor early in the morning, and he has not returned home yet!" Yang Xuan arched his hand in front of the mansion gate and said, "Your Highness, you might as well come in and sit down!" ”

Li Cong didn't have the heart to sit, he was so anxious that he was like an ant on the ground on a hot pot, and he was spinning on the steps in front of Yang Guozhong's mansion with his hands behind his back, at a loss.

"Your Highness, why don't you come back tomorrow!"

Li Jingzhong saw that the sky was dark. He was worried that Lee Hyung would wake up thirsty and find out about his betrayal. He was also so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. And so on. He was going to be killed, in a hurry. Then he said: "Or, let's go find the second prince?" ”

—

The second prince is Li Wan, the king of Rong. One sentence reminded Li Cong. 'Yes! Yang Guozhong is not here, and it is the same for Ji Wen. ’

He immediately grabbed Li Jingzhong and rushed to Jiwen's mansion, which was located in Pingkangfang. The floor space is not large. But it's very elegant. Especially the back homestead garden. Seeing the big from the small, a pool of water reflects the city wall of the East City in the distance. The borrowing of scenery is very ingenious, and Jiwen likes his back garden the most, so he stays in it when he has nothing to do, and quietly savors this elegant and indifferent scenery.

But the people of other places are not indifferent, and even have strong ambitions. I have been with Yang Guozhong for a long time. He despised his stupidity. thought that he could completely replace him, but it was a pity that he didn't have a sister who looked like a fairy. But he has a good brain, he knows, in the world of all the merits, only the rescue and support of the two merits are the highest, he is a person, the wheel of saving the driver can not be him, then he can only fight the idea of supporting, the person he wants to support is Li Cong, this person is greedy for profit, but stupid and biased, fortunately, he has obeyed his own orders, if he can be the emperor, then he is not just as simple as supporting the merit.

Ji Wen thinks that there is nothing in the world that cannot be done, only unexpected things, as long as he acts according to the strategy of other places, Li Cong may not have no chance.

At this moment, Ji Wen is sitting in the octagonal pavilion enjoying the night view of the back garden, but he is thinking about the plan to seize the palace in his mind, from now on, everything is going well, the key is that An Lushan did not rebel as originally planned, but he is a soldier of the army, from all kinds of information, he deduced that An Lu is actively preparing for the transfer of troops, and the rebellion is only a matter of time or time, but if you want to make it earlier, you must use another force, that is, to cut off his right to Hedong.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the family came to report, 'His Royal Highness King Qing has come down, there is something urgent!' ’

Ji Wen was startled, how could he come down to him in public when he was so sensitive, didn't this expose the relationship between them? But he thought about it again, it was very likely that King Qing had something important.

"Hurry up and invite His Royal Highness King Qing to my study!" He hurriedly packed his things and ran towards the study.

"Your Highness, what happened?" As soon as Ji Wen entered the study with his front foot, Li Cong broke in with his back foot, he saw King Qing's eyes frightened, and his heart was secretly surprised, and he saw a person behind him, Ji Wen cried out: "Gonggong Li, why are you here too?" ”

He knew Li Jingzhongdi, and when he saw that his eyes were as frightened as Li Cong, he immediately realized that he was afraid that the matter was related to Li Heng.

"Look at this!" Li Cong took out the secret decree and slapped it heavily on the table, his lips were tense, he was still trembling slightly, and his face was very serious.

Gwen opened the secret decree and was surprised, 'W-What's going on?' How did it come back? ’

"Thanks to Gonggong Li, otherwise we would have died!" Li Cong gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Shilang, this idea is out of the ground, you can't get out of it, now you say, what should I do?" ”

Ji Wen was not intimidated by the secret decree, but was chilled by Li Congdi's words, who swore to himself at that time, his words were his words, and the voice was still lingering in his ears, but now.

Ji Wen seemed to know Li Cong only now, and he stared blankly at the quasi-emperor he was about to support, and he was silent.

"Sorry! I'm a little out of shape. Li Cong suddenly realized that he had lost his mouth, and he said softly: "Ji Shilang, the top priority now is to solve this difficulty, and we should be in the same boat."

Ji Wenxin sighed, turned around and asked Li Jingzhong, "Where did Li Heng get the secret decree?" ”

Li Jingzhong saw that he didn't ask if King Guangping was coming back, and his heart secretly admired his clear mind, if King Guangping came back, Li Cong would have already shouted, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and replied: "My prince went to Taibai Building to drink in the afternoon. When he returned, he brought this letter with him. I don't know who gave him the land. ”

Givin looked down for a moment and asked, "Does he go drinking every day?" ”

"Sometimes I go for tea, sometimes I go for wine, not necessarily! But he was determined to go out every day. ”

"In this way, he didn't mean to see someone, but that person found him." Givin muttered to himself, "This man is either familiar with his habits, or he is. . .

He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Has anyone come to Li Heng today?" Ask where he went? ”

Li Jingzhong thought about it, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and he said loudly: "Yes!" There is a person. ”

"Who is it?" Ji Wen and Li Cong asked in unison. There was an urgent light in his eyes, and the answer was about to be revealed.

"Li Lin, King of Sining!" Li Jingzhong said affirmatively: "The prince just went out. And he came to find him. It's urgent. He also asked where the prince had gone. ”

By this time, Giwin had fully understood. Li Lin's son-in-law is Li Qing, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and Li Qing is a confidant of the king of Guangping. This secret letter must have been sent by Li Qing.

Come to think of it. Ji Wen glanced at Li Cong and asked him to send Li Jingzhong back first, Li Cong understood, so he said to Li Jingzhong: "Li Heng is probably going to wake up." I'll send you back. ”

"But this secret decree!" Li Jingzhong looked at the secret decree on the table. Timidly said: "The prince can't find it." I'm afraid you won't spare me! ”

"I'll give it back to you!"

It is iron evidence. How could Givin give it back to him again, he lifted the pen. handwriting, and the original will is memorized, and in this way, the secret will restores its original content.

He put the secret decree into the sleeve, handed it to Li Jingzhong, and said with a slight smile: "As long as you resolutely deny it, he can't take you." ”

Li Jingzhong saw that he had moved, and he was worried that Li Heng would wake up at any time, so he had to say helplessly: "Then I'll go first." ”

When Li Jingzhong walked away, Ji Wen smiled coldly and said to Li Cong without hesitation: "The original intention is gone, this matter will definitely be discovered by the emperor, so Li Heng must be killed, and he can't be allowed to see the emperor, and besides, King Ning and the person who lives in his mansion must also be killed together, whether they know it or not!" ”

Li Cong saw that things seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, his eyes also showed a hint of fear, his head slowly lowered, and he said for a long time: "This kind of headache and foot pain are cured, I'm afraid that the more you cover up, the more loopholes there will be." ”

"What to do? Do you want to wait for the emperor to come and kill us? "Ji Wen is extremely disgusted with this scumbag prince, what can he do big? His heart finally became cold, and he suddenly walked to the lamp, and directly lit the secret decree, which gradually burned into a roll and turned into ashes.

"Y-What are you doing!" Li Cong was shocked when he saw him burn the secret decree, and couldn't help but yell.

Ji Wen smiled faintly and said, "Since the prince refuses to go any further, then Ji Wen has no choice but to take back the water for the prince." ”

"What! Can you still erase the matter? Li Cong was ecstatic, since An Lushan did not rebel according to the original plan, he regretted it, but it was difficult to recover, seeing that the false transmission of the holy decree had been exposed, he was even more afraid, and suddenly heard that Ji Wen could smooth out the matter, how could he not be ecstatic.

"The solution is very simple, but His Royal Highness still has to kill Li Heng, and he can't let him go to see the emperor tomorrow, to buy time, this is the premise that must be done."

Li Cong heard that he was going to kill someone, and his heart became slightly uneasy, but for the sake of this, he could only do it, "Then what?" ”

Ji Wen looked at the light and smiled viciously: "Then it is to kill Yu Chaoen immediately and cut this thread." ”

.

Li Cong left in a hurry, he was going to arrange for the removal of Li Heng, Ji Wen sat in the study and still pondered, he was thinking about where the loopholes were?

Maybe this is the difference in knowledge, as a strategy itself, Ji Wen is successful, it is natural to send Daqin as Li Yudi, if it is in the Tianbao year, Li Yu will definitely travel, but he can't see the general trend, he can't see the situation in the Tang Dynasty now, he can't fight with Da Shi, he doesn't know the strength of Da Shidi, he doesn't know, Li Longji will not make such a will at all.

Therefore, his strategy was wrong from the starting point.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Wen didn't know the essentials, and his train of thought returned to the front of him, since King Guangping was not fooled, the matter of false transmission of the holy decree would be exposed sooner or later, but it didn't matter, as long as the line of Yu Chaoen was cut off, even if Li Longji thought that it was Li Cong, but he had no evidence, at most he put him under house arrest, in this way, Li Longji couldn't imagine that it would be his own idea.

The key now is whether Li Cong can get rid of Li Heng smoothly, and Ji Wen is faintly worried about King Si Ning, does he know about this? If he knew, once the news of Li Heng's death came out tomorrow, he would definitely go to see Li Longji immediately.

If he didn't know about this matter and was just pulling a line, then who was the person sent by Li Qing? Suddenly, a terrible thought popped up in Ji Wen's heart, could it be Li Qing himself!

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that if he hadn't come in person, then Li Lin would have stayed with Li Heng all the time, and Li Heng wouldn't have drunk too much.

"Oh my God! At this time, he dared to come to Chang'an. Even Ji Wen admired his courage, but because of this, I am afraid that he, Li Qing, would not let Li Lin go to see Li Longji, and he would not do stupid things such as digging his own grave.

Thinking of this, Ji Wen's heart gradually calmed down, and at this time, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper said outside: "Master, there is a person looking for you outside the mansion, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters. ”

Gwenn was taken aback, "Who?" His Royal Highness King Qing? ”

"It's not His Royal Highness King Qing, it's a stranger, I don't know it."

Givin groaned, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right here." ”

Givin hurried out of the gate, and saw a man standing in the doorway, standing in the dark, his face unrecognizable, and on the other side of the street, in the corner of the ground, there seemed to be a dozen attendants waiting with horses.

"Who are you? What's the matter with me? ”

The man did not speak, but took out a thin thorn from his shirt and handed it over.

Ji Wen took it suspiciously, only to see that there seemed to be a line of words written on the name thorn, by the light of the lantern at the door, Ji Wen tilted his head and read the words on the name thorn, suddenly, his body became stiff, his expression was like five thunderbolts, his hand was loosened, the name thorn fell to the ground, and a sentence was written on it: 'My name is Cui Qianyou, from Hebei, An Shuai greets you!' ’
