"Bai Chun? What's so terrible about a woman just that! If Li Hong hadn't accepted her early, I would never have let her go! When Li Chong heard the name Bai Chun, the face of a stunning beauty immediately appeared in front of him.

"Just you? Ten of you are not a pure opponent. Li Zhen is getting more and more powerless, her son doesn't even know how dangerous Bai Chun is, and he thinks that he is just a maid by the prince's side, which is simply ridiculous.

"Father, why do you want to increase the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige, if it is the prince, the sons can't compare, but a little woman next to the prince, the sons can't compare? Are you underestimating your ministers? Li Chong didn't know what was wrong with his father, and the more he talked, the more pessimistic he became.

Although the situation is indeed very grim now, and there is even no way out, it is not enough to praise the prince and then praise Bai Chun.

"Back then, the first emperor secretly established a yamen called Lijingmen, and their main purpose was to defend the imperial power and protect the stability of the country. And now...... Lijingmen is already a virtual reality, but there is a mysterious yamen in the East Palace - 'Jingwei'. Jingwei is more mysterious than Lijingmen, it can spy on intelligence, it can also assassinate people who Donggong wants to assassinate, and even send people to lurk in other countries ....... ”

"Don't tell me, Bai Chun's other identity is a part of Jingwei." Li Chong, the king of Langya, looked at Li Zhen and said with an unnatural expression.

Li Zhen sighed: "It would be nice if it was just a part of Jingwei, this is still what His Majesty inadvertently revealed after returning from the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo last year, when he was celebrating the victory of the Eastern Expedition in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Jingwei ...... It is likely to be in the hands of Bai Chun alone. ”

"This ...... But I've never heard of Jingwei, a yamen, and I haven't even heard of these two words, what you say is really true? Li Chong still didn't believe it in his heart, if it was true, then this Bai Chun, and Jingwei, would be really mysterious.

"If you've heard of it, is it still a mystery? His Majesty favored Wu Mei back then, and the queen gave birth to a daughter the next year after giving birth to the current prince, but it was rumored that the queen was jealous, and when she went to celebrate, she took advantage of Wu Mei's unpreparedness and quietly strangled the only princess that His Majesty had given birth to with Wu Mei, and then His Majesty went to visit, but found that the princess had died of anger. His Majesty was furious, and immediately wanted to abolish Wang Liwu, and then for some reason, it took another two years to abolish Wang and Queen, and Liwu was flattering. Li Zhen seemed to be immersed in the past and said with some sadness.

"At that time, it seemed to be a martial ...... Wu Mei was competing for favor with Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu in the harem, and finally Wu Mei was named queen as she wished, and Queen Wang died tragically, and Concubine Xiao Shu was demoted to a concubine and sent to the cold palace, but ...... Now it is rumored that Wu Mei and Concubine Xiao Shufei seem to have released their previous suspicions...... But what does this have to do with what you call Jingwei? The second monk Li Chongzhang was puzzled and asked suspiciously.

"It is because of this that His Majesty immediately ordered that Li Hong, who had not yet been crowned king, was given four eunuchs and four palace maids, and these four eunuchs had the people of Lijingmen back then, including the four palace maids, each of whom was extraordinary. But even so, the prince traveled south this time, knowing that there were many dangers, but he didn't even bring a palace maid, and only two of the four personal eunuchs were brought with him, and he only took Bai Chun with him, do you think this is a coincidence? When the crown prince fought in Anxi, in order to save the Tang army besieged by the Great Food Kingdom in the Persian Protectorate, he was in deep danger, and Bai Chun went to Anxi alone to rescue. In the two matters of going south and conquering the west, the prince brought Bai Chun, Mangzhong, and Cheetah, and His Majesty and the queen did not object, can't it explain the problem? Li Zhen slowly walked out of the main hall, looked at the door of the mansion, turned his head and glanced at Li Chong behind him and said.

"Espionage, assassination...... Are you saying that these people in the Zhichong Mansion are likely to have been mixed in with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This...... Is this possible? Li Chong felt incredible, if this could really be done, then he ...... He really lost and had nothing to say.

"Not a possibility, but a certainty. Since King Luo Bin was appointed by Li Jingye to join the army as a recorder, he was fully capable of inserting Jingwei or the rest of the crown prince into it without him knowing. So....... Li Zhen looked at the closed door, sighed again and said, "Open the door of the mansion and see if there is a glimmer of hope for survival." ”

Li Zhen knew very well in his heart that even so, the chances of saving his life were slim, but now, he had no choice but to act like this.

King Cao still has no news now, it is obviously more than auspicious, and Li Jingye is a perfect person to take the blame, with Li Hong's city, if he doesn't use it, it will be a strange thing.

"Father, how can you open the door of the palace and wait to be killed, isn't this no different from surrendering?" Li Chong took two steps forward and stood in front of Li Zhen to dissuade him.

"Remember what I just told you, none of this has anything to do with you, you were forced here by me. Open the door! After saying to Li Chong, Li Zhen's eyes flashed with determination, and he shouted an order.

The heavy vermilion door was immediately unloaded with the combined efforts of several soldiers, and then with a creak, the door was slowly opened.

The door of the mansion that was opened in an instant did not appear in Li Chong's mind, the picture of the soldiers holding bows, crossbows, spears, and horizontal knives rushing in, but it seemed quiet, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty standing outside the door, some with their heads held high, some were dejected, unarmed, and even some had taken off their armor and lined up in a long line wearing underwear, slowly passing by the gate of the mansion.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, and after a while, the two war horses slowly stopped at the door, and it was the crown prince Li Hong and Li Jingye.

The two of them looked equally calm, and they couldn't see any emotion, and after Li Hong turned over and dismounted, Li Jingye also dismounted as soon as possible and stood behind Li Hong.

The two glanced at each other, and then looked inside the gate, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Chong, the king of Langya, who were standing on the high steps, and then Li Hong stepped forward and walked towards the mansion without fear.

Li Jingye hesitated slightly, and then followed behind Li Hong and walked into the palace.

"Minister Li Zhen and Li Chong have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Chong, the king of Langya, followed behind Li Zhen and saluted in unison.

"Uncle Yue, please." Li Hong smiled, looked up at the sun that was about to rise in the sky, and then pointed to the hall and said.

The four of them slowly walked into the hall, and the outside was surrounded by soldiers from three parties at the door, King Yue looked at Li Chong with some frowns, but seeing that Li Chong did not look at him, he had to sigh inexplicably, this is self-defeating.

Li Hong sat down on the top, and the people on the left and right were Li Zhen, Li Chong, and Li Jingye on the right, the atmosphere in the hall was a little abnormal, but it was also a sign of relaxation.

"The winner is the prince and the loser, the truth has not changed for many years. War, the people suffer, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. But every Li Min of the Tang Dynasty is innocent, whether it is you Li Jingye or Uncle Yue Wang, no matter what you want to achieve, today, Yangzhou City is no longer under your control, but back in the control of the imperial court. As the saying goes, the general trend has gone. Li Hong looked at the three of them and said softly.

"So what does Your Highness mean? How and? Could it be that the imperial court will not pursue it? Will you let us go? Li Jingye's current reliance is naturally on the more than 1,000 government soldiers outside him, as well as the government soldiers outside Yangzhou City, who are preparing to attack Changzhou, Runzhou, and Jinling.

So now, it seems that he has fallen behind, but in his hand, he has to say that there are still a lot of bargaining chips that can negotiate with Li Hong.

Li Hong didn't speak, but looked at Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Chong, the king of Langya.

"It's not your style to blame the past, let's just say the conditions." Li Zhen, the king of Yue, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Dismiss the government soldiers, and punish them for crimes." Li Hong said lightly.

"If His Royal Highness is not sincere, then I, Li Jingye, think that it is better to fight, as the pre-Qin Chen Sheng said: 'And if the strong man does not die, it is already famous, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?' Even if His Royal Highness now has the advantage of troops in Yangzhou City, but the more than 1,000 soldiers who are dedicated to the army are also elite soldiers, as the so-called killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-losses, in this way, His Royal Highness wants to settle this dispute by peaceful means, I am afraid it will be impossible. What's more, Runzhou, Changzhou, and Jinling will also fall into the flames of war, His Royal Highness pities the people and loves the people like sons, but you have to think twice. Li Jingye snorted coldly and let himself confess, then he might as well follow Chen Sheng's example and make a Bo.

"What about Uncle Yue, what do you think? Li Jingye has no fear, he thinks he has a strong army, and he wants to try again, I don't know what you are going to do? Li Hong once again did not immediately answer Li Jingye's words, but once again turned his gaze to Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Chong, the king of Langya.

"Meet Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to ruling, if Your Highness agrees, the minister will dismiss all the soldiers in the palace." King Yue was unsure in his heart, in the end, there was no one from Li Hong in the Zhichong Mansion that he fought for with King Cao, and now he had to put a big question mark in his heart.

Therefore, seeing Li Jingye so domineering and arrogant to negotiate conditions with Li Hong, this made him have to have the desire to survive.

As long as Li Hong is not punished in Yangzhou, as long as Li Hong is willing to let him go back to Chang'an to meet His Majesty, then everything else will be easy to say, then he and Li Chong can definitely save their lives without worry.

"What about you?" Li Hong then looked at Li Jingye to see what he wanted.

"When the first emperor gave my grandfather the imperial surname, he recognized my grandfather's merits, and recognized that my clan was a royal family, so my condition was that I would ask the court to crown me Li Jingye as the king." Li Jingye looked at the light smile on the corner of Li Hong's mouth, and said firmly and decisively.
