In the fragrant Zichen Palace, the hands of the crown prince Li Heng holding the music chapter were constantly trembling, and the neat block characters of Wang Ji turned into a dagger shot at him in Li Heng's eyes, cutting him to pieces.

Words such as "Violating discipline and taking his young son to the battle", "The enemy chief escaped dangerously", "The grass was cut but not eradicated", "The son of the transfer escaped, and the daughter of the transfer was sheltered at home" and other words were like sharp spears and halberds, constantly stabbing Li Heng's fragile heart.

"Is the saint going to build another prison? Is it actually because of this impeachment that a certain person is allowed to participate in the court meeting? Is this the intention of the thief or the meaning of the saint? Li Heng's heart was up and down, and he was completely panicked.

Lee Hyung doesn't think he is a person with big ambitions, and he has wanted to spend his life as an ordinary prince since he was a child. In fact, his biological mother Yang Guifei has a prominent family background, a famous family in Guanzhong, and grew up beside Queen Wang since she was a child.

But Li Heng has always believed that his ranking as the third prince and his ability to be relatively moderate are particularly far away from the throne in the Hanyuan Palace, so he has never had the luxury of the position of the crown prince.

At first, things did develop in the direction that Li Heng believed, and his father had only been on the throne for three years, and he set up the heroic and suave second brother Li Ying as the crown prince.

Although Li Heng and this imperial brother are not particularly close to each other, they are not very disgusted and jealous. The second brother Li Ying has a generous personality, and after he ascends the throne, he can also take care of Tang Tang's feelings and maintain the situation of calyxes. Being a rich and idle prince in a peaceful and prosperous era can be regarded as a great joy in life!

However, Concubine Wu Hui's sole favor and the birth of her eighteenth brother Li Mao changed everything. First, the adoptive mother Queen Wang designed a frame for Concubine Wu Hui, and was abolished by the sage in the name of witchcraft and victory, and then collapsed, so that he lost his mother's Chunhui; Later, the second brother Li Ying, the fifth brother Li Yao and the eighth brother Li Ju believed in Concubine Wu Hui's edict, led troops into the palace to catch thieves and were framed for the crime of rebellion.

The crown prince was abolished, the East Palace was empty, and I thought that the sage would follow Concubine Wu Hui's wish and set up the eighteenth brother as the prince. Unexpectedly, the sudden change in the situation and the scheming Concubine Wu Hui suddenly fell ill and died after the Sanshu case, and the call to make the eighteenth brother the crown prince was like the low tide of the sea. The saint suddenly favored himself and made himself the crown prince in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan (738).

Although Li Heng has never actively fought for the position of the East Palace, after becoming the second person in the world, the envy from his brothers, the support of hundreds of bureaucrats and the admiration of all the people in the world have made him intoxicated and enjoyed.

At the moment when he moved into the East Palace, he really understood why Emperor Taizong did not hesitate to splash his blood on Xuanwu Gate, why Emperor Zetian ignored the affection of his children, and why his father risked his life to launch the Tanglong coup...... The power is colorless and tasteless, but it is sweet and sweet, which is really delicious and unstoppable!

Li Heng, who is intoxicated with power, actively plumps his wings. The legacy of his mother, Queen Wang, was supported by the Taiyuan Wang clan of the Kanto region.

Wang Zhonghe, who was born in the branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, is the son of the famous general Wang Haibin, in the second year of Kaiyuan (714), his father died in the defense of Songzhou against the Tubo invasion of Kou, the sage took pity on Wang Haibin Zhongyong, so he took the 9-year-old Wang Zhonghei as a fake son and left it in the palace to raise.

Wang Zhonghei has the talent of defending the country, and he is very knowledgeable about soldiers, talking about the art of war with the sage, and dealing with the vertical and horizontal, all of which are unexpected, which makes the sage amazed. In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan (730), the sage put Wang Zhonghe's heir outside the Hexi Jiedu envoy as a soldier and horse envoy. This Wang Zhonghei is indeed good, by no means comparable to Zhao Kuo, who only reads military books, defeated Tubo, broke the Turks, and won the Khitan, with great military achievements, and even better than his father, and finally served as the envoy of Longyou, Shuofang, Hexi, and Hedong at the same time, with nearly 300,000 troops, and the good generals under his command carried a lot of volume.

And when Wang Zhongsi was in the palace, he had the closest relationship with Li Heng. Li Heng, who has always been silent, will only talk endlessly in front of his brother Wang Zhonghe.

Li Heng recalled that in his youth, the closest people were not those brothers who had the same blood as him, but this brother with a different surname.

Wang Zhongsi's tacit support for Li Heng greatly consolidated Li Heng's position in the East Palace, and attracted the Jingzhao Wei family behind the crown princess Wei and the mother family of the fifth brother Li Yao to the East Palace, and built the East Palace Party with Wang Zhonghei, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming as the core.

Of course, Li Heng never thought that he was forming a party for personal gain, but just cultivating the team after ascending the throne. Wei Jian, as the elder brother of the crown princess, has the ability to help the world through the state and is the talent of the prime minister; Wang Zhongsi and Huangfu Weiming are both famous generals who defend one side, and they can be described as the dry cities of the country.

In addition to these three people, there are also many civil and military officials such as Zhang Jun, the second son of the former Xiangguo Zhang Shuo, Zhang Yan, and Wang Zhengjian, a Confucian general of the Taiyuan Wang family, who became peripheral members of the Donggong Party for various reasons. The prosperity of talents in the East Palace is unparalleled for a while.

Just when Li Heng was full of power, he was proud, and one after another blows suddenly came like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

During the Lantern Festival in the fifth year of Tianbao (746), Huangfu Weiming, who was the envoy of Hongluqing and Hexi and Longyoujie, and Wei Jian and Li Heng, who were the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, met by chance when they were enjoying the lanterns near the imperial city of Chang'an.

The Lantern Festival, like Chinese New Year's Eve, is a night when Jingo can't help it. The three of them watched the lights for a while, and Li Heng returned to the palace. Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian's tour continued to flourish, and they successively went to Jinglongguan Night Tour in Chongrenfang, which is located on the east side of the imperial city.

Unexpectedly, this amusement was actually tracked and recorded by Yang Shenjin in the imperial history, and reported to the saint through Li Thief, framing Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian for colluding inside and outside the country to plot a coup d'état!! caused the saint to be angry, the emperor Wei Ming gave death, Wei Jian was exiled to Lingnan, and Li Heng had to endure the pain of divorce from Princess Wei. The Donggong Party was hit hard.

In the summer of the same year, Du Youlin, the father of Li Heng's side concubine Du Liangdi, had a dispute with his eldest son-in-law Cao Liuqian over trivial family matters.

After the form fell into the hands of Li Thief, he wantonly framed it, hoping to use this incident to incite the sage to abolish Li Heng's position in the East Palace.

Fortunately, the sage's eyes were like torches, and he saw through Li Thief's intentions, and only sentenced the Du family to be unapprehensive, Cao Liuxian's words were incorrect, and the scepter scolded the two and then sent Lingnan.

Unexpectedly, because Li Thief failed to succeed, he was resentful, and ordered his henchmen to be blamed with the cane, and beat Du and Cao to death under the cane. Li Heng was also intimidated by Li Linfu's obscenity, and waved tears to say goodbye to Du Liangdi to protect himself.

In the sixth year of Tianbao (747), Li Thief took the opportunity of Gao Xianzhi's expedition to Xiaobolu to win a great victory, preaching that the soldiers of Anxi, Beiting, and Longyou used their lives to encourage the saints to recapture the stone fort.

The sage was very concerned about the gains and losses of the stone fort, so he ordered Wang Zhonghei to enter the court to discuss the strategy of retaking the stone fort. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongji did not understand the subtleties of the Sacred Heart, insisted that the terrain of the stone fort was dangerous and could not be attacked, and suggested that the sage wait for the opportunity to respond to all changes without change, and when the time and place are favorable, the stone fort should be broken in one fell swoop.

This old man's words of seeking the country caused the saint to change color, and Li Thief took the opportunity to fan the flames and framed Wang Zhonghei in order to preserve his strength and support the crown prince's accession to the throne. Under the anger of the saint, he did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and actually wanted to sentence his adopted son who he had loved for many years to death, but fortunately, Wang Zhonghe's subordinate general Ge Shuhan spoke up and saved Wang Zhonghe's life. Eventually, the sage demoted Wang Zhongji to the rank of Hanyang Taishou.

At this point, the three cores of the East Palace Party have died and depreciated, and the East Palace team that was Xuan He for a while has also been blown away by the rain and wind. The two brothers, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yan, escaped from the East Palace and served the saint wholeheartedly; Wang Zhengjian, the only surviving local powerhouse faction of the Donggong Party, became imminent.

At this moment, what should have been an occasion to reward Wang Zhengjian turned into an attack on Wang Zhengjian. Who is the Imperial Historian Wang Jie? Li Heng sneered helplessly in his heart, no one knew that Wang Ji was one of Li Linfu's most trusted henchmen, and he was the number one thug under Li Thief.

According to Li Thief's style of acting, the impeachment of Wang Zhengjian will never be groundless, and there is absolutely some evidence. Li Heng's head was full of sweat, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Enlighten the Emperor! Erchen really didn't know that there was such a thing. Facing the sage's aggressive gaze, Li Heng trembled and knelt on the ground, trembling and replied: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in the meantime. However, Erchen absolutely supports the Yushitai to thoroughly investigate Wang Zhengjian and correct the discipline of the imperial court! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince sacrificed the magic weapon he used repeatedly: as soon as possible, as soon as possible, he cut off the people who might implicate him!

After Li Heng finished speaking, he only heard a rush of footsteps, but he didn't see a response from the saint for a long time. This made Li Heng even more worried, could it be that the saint had reached the point where he was angry and didn't know what to say? If this is the case, what you need to face later will be the wrath of the Son of Heaven who has millions of corpses!

"Hen'er, let's be even! It seems that you really don't know about it! The father's bland voice came from his ears, which made Li Heng even more confused. With Li Heng's understanding of the saint, this tone of calm and pity would not normally be a precursor to thunder.

"Ashinaqing, you should also take a look at the impeachment recital." Li Heng obeyed the sage's arrangement and handed the sweaty piece in his hand to Gao Lishi.

Li Heng glanced at Gao Lishi, whose breath was not completely calm, and then stared at Ashina Yang with a calm face, not understanding how he had passed. The only thing that is certain is that behind his safety and soundness, there must be the credit of Colliers.

Thinking of this, Li Heng hurriedly glanced at Colliers. I saw that Gao Lishi acted as if nothing had happened, but his breath was still slightly rough.

Between the turns of his eyes, Li Heng suddenly found that there was an extra twist and turn on the side of the saint's throne. It seems that it was this piece of music that Gao Lishi brought that changed the mind of the saint and interrupted the offensive launched by Li Linfu. But what kind of fold is this? Why was it able to turn the tide? Li Heng felt that he was being kept in the dark by everyone at the same time, and he felt very unhappy.
