Li Jingxian, before Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he served as a master for a period of time, and later after he ascended the throne, he left Chang'an under the pretext of going to Yunyou, and now no one knows where he is.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian is also unable to determine whether the matter that Li Jingxian is the mastermind behind the scenes is true, and whether it is deliberately discussed by these old Taoist priests in order to get rid of their crimes.

Therefore, he didn't believe what the old Taoist priest said very much, and he was silent for a while and said slowly: "Qin Ying, the words have been said to this point, if Li Jingxian is really the mastermind behind the scenes as you said, then what you said is enough for him to kill you, and I will also punish you for the crime of bullying the king because you have hidden something from me." So I suggest that you tell everything, and at least take a gamble that I will spare you a dead life after knowing all the cause and effect. ”

I have to say that Li Chengqian's threat was very effective, and Qin Ying's old face turned blue after listening to it, and he obviously realized what he was wrong.

But what really made Qin Ying regret was why she was so confident at the beginning, thinking that there would be no problem staying in Chang'an, if she had obeyed Li Jingxian's arrangement earlier and left Chang'an, it is estimated that she would not have ended up like today.

Thinking of this, Qin Ying sighed resignedly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Gongyi family?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't answer, just looked at him quietly, as if waiting for him to continue.

Qin Ying couldn't sell the guanzi, smiled bitterly at himself, and continued: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, in fact, the Gongyi family is Li Jingxian's internal response, as long as he writes a letter, they will be responsible for blowing up the entire academy and the general prison." ”

Blow up the Academy of Sciences and the Prison Prison?! This is indeed very exciting news, and no matter how Li Chengqian thinks about it, he has never thought about it.

However, the reliability of this information made Li Chengqian hesitate a little, he was not in charge of intelligence processing, but he had doubts about everything.

The Gongchuan family is currently responsible for many projects in the Academy of Sciences, but in fact, more than half of the members of the Gongchuan family are involved in the research of power facilities and firearms. In other words, this family is currently responsible for many important things, if what Qin Ying said is true, then this family is really likely to paralyze the military logistics of the entire Tang Dynasty.

But Li Chengqian had to think about what to do if Qin Ying's words were false, and arresting all the Gongyi family would be tantamount to cutting off his arm, and it would also bring the military research and development work to a standstill.

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Li Chengqian's mind, whether he should believe in Qin Ying or not became the biggest problem.

And Qin Ying said with a bitter face at this time: "Your Majesty, I have already said everything that should be said, this is all I know, can you guarantee my safety?" ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Qin Ying deeply, and said in a cold voice: "Your safety lies in yourself, not in me, if I find out that you have half a lie, it will definitely make you die a happy death." ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's vague answer, Qin Ying swore an oath: "Your Majesty, Poor Dao can swear to the Sanqing Patriarch, and there is no false word, if this oath is violated, the sky will thunder." ”

It's just that the old Taoist priest still underestimated someone, how could Li Chengqian, who had seen a lot of scams in later generations, believe him so easily, for his oath, Li Chengqian only pouted slightly: "Don't worry, if you tell a lie, your death will definitely be much worse than the thunder and thunder in the sky!" ”

After saying that, Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Shui Yue, who was lying on the ground and wilted, and said to Ye Mei: "Send her to the medical school, let Lao He practice her hands, whether she lives or dies." ”

"Yes!" Ye Mei nodded heavily, and Xiao Bai, who had just returned from outside, followed Li Chengqian out of the prison, and just after they went out, someone soon came in from outside and carried Shui Yue, who had lost half of her life, out, and no one has seen her since.

After coming out of the cell in Dali Temple, Li Chengqian took Ye Mei and Xiaobai to a teahouse in Dongshi, asked for a pot of good tea, and then sat down and quietly thought about all the news he got in the prison.

Ye Mei followed Li Chengqian's side the whole time, and had his own judgment on the whole thing, seeing that he was silent, he said with a rare opening: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Taoist priest should be lying, if the minister is not mistaken, all this should be a game within a game." ”

"How so?" Li Chengqian's fingers tapped lightly on the table and asked noncommittally.

Night Charm took a deep breath and explained, "Although the old man pretended to be very scared, his speech was too clear and incoherent like normal people would be incoherent when they experienced fear. ”

"That doesn't seem to prove that what he's saying is false." After seriously thinking about it, Li Chengqian shook his head and denied Ye Mei's explanation: "This matter is not trivial, you must not be careless, although I am not afraid of them doing things, but the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line cannot be joked, there is no complete certainty, I still have to take what he said as true." ”

"Yes, I understand." Although Nightcharm's suggestion was denied, there was not the slightest expression of displeasure on her face, as if nothing had happened just now.

However, Xiao Bai flashed a trace of hesitation on his face, opened his mouth to speak, and said slowly after a while: "Your Majesty, what are those Taoist priests tossing so for?" Isn't Datang's life bad now? Why do they have to interfere in the affairs of the court and let the Daomen override the royal family? ”

"The human heart is insufficient!" Li Chengqian sighed: "Alas, there is always a small group of people in this world who think they are very smart, think that they can become saviors and dominate everything. ”

But what's in it for them? Even if the divine power is greater than the imperial power, the Taoist priest is still a Taoist priest after all, can they still be the emperor? ”

"Like I just said, a handful of people! For the masses, they don't really care who will rule, as long as they can live a good life, they will live with peace of mind. But it is a small group of people who are not satisfied with the status quo, they always think about themselves in their heads, and they want to gain greater power by unscrupulous means, so there will be rebellion, some corruption, and some death. ”

Li Chengqian muttered, but he was thinking of Li Jingxian himself.

In Li Chengqian's view, Taoism is a local religion, and its purpose is far better than that of foreign Buddhism, and it is also better than Buddhism in terms of entering the WTO to help people and scientific research.

But religion is religion, if you want to override the imperial power, it is impossible, if there is really one day, he Li Chengqian will definitely fight everything to start a war with it.

So what Li Chengqian couldn't figure out was why Li Jingxian knew that this would be the case, but he still had to take the Daomen to the road of death.

Xiaobai obviously wanted to say something more, but Night Charm still grabbed her on the side, silently shaking her head and signaling her not to disturb Li Chengqian anymore, obviously afraid that she would disrupt someone's train of thought.

The tea on the table was already cold, and Li Chengqian was still sitting there in a daze, his brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the frequency of his fingers tapping on the table was getting faster and faster.

And just when the sound of percussions was almost uncountable, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped: "Xiaobai, you go to the intelligence department in a while, and ask them to check the whereabouts of Li Jingxian, focusing on Tianzhu and the Western Regions, in addition, send people to pay close attention to the movements of the Gongyi family, and immediately lock up all the people of his clan if there is a slight change." ”

"Yes!" Bai Yuening agreed, but she didn't leave immediately, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what about Xuan Xunxue?" Do you want me to go to Taiyuan in person? ”

"There's no need, just send someone over there to pay attention, don't startle the snake." Li Chengqian shook his head and rejected Xiaobai's proposal.

Bai Yuening asked, "What about Dugu Yufeng?" Just leave them there? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head: "It's better to wronged them for a while, before you fully understand all of Li Jingxian's plans, you don't have to make extraneous branches, after all, even if you catch someone, the answer you get from their mouth is not necessarily true, it is far less direct than observing their actual actions." ”

"Yes! Chancellor understood. Xiaobai didn't stay any longer this time, turned around and walked out of the teahouse directly to complete the task assigned by Li Chengqian.

And Li Chengqian waited until Bai Yuening left, and then pointed to the opposite side of him: "Xiaoye, sit down." ”

Night Charm was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted: "Your Majesty, it's good for the minister to stand!" ”

The relationship between her and Li Chengqian is a bit complicated, and many years of guarding his safety have given Ye Mei an extraordinary status both in the palace and outside, and even in some cases she has much more power to say a word than Su Mei and Kong Wen.

But even so, Ye Mei still put her position very right, without the slightest meaning of superiority, Li Chengqian asked her to sit down This kind of thing, she will never will.

Li Chengqian saw that Ye Mei didn't sit down, and smiled slightly: "Xiao Ye, how long have you been following me?" ”

"It's been eighteen years." Nightshade replied.

"Have you ever thought about leaving?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

Night Charm hesitated, feeling a little lost in her heart. followed a person for eighteen years, silently guarded him for eighteen years, although nothing major happened during this period, but eighteen years of youth finally came to such an ending.

Li Chengqian waited for a long time and didn't see Ye Mei answer, and couldn't help but look up at her, his eyes matched her narrow eyes, and he saw the sadness hidden in his heart.

In an instant, Li Chengqian realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaoye, don't get me wrong, I don't want to drive you away, I just feel that you have had a hard time in the past eighteen years, and I want to give you a more stable environment." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't need it!" There was a resentment in the neutral voice of the night ghost, which was sad to listen to.

Li Chengqian is not a fool, so he can naturally hear it, and stands up a little embarrassed at the moment: "Xiaoye, you also know that there are not many things I can give you......."

Ye Mei categorically interrupted Li Chengqian and said: "Your Majesty, needless to say, the ministers know that the ministers have been with you for eighteen years and do not want anything else, just to protect the safety of Your Majesty." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, suddenly didn't know what to say, hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "I plan to arrange for you to go to Qingzhou, go to Xiaobai's master to have a look, if possible, ask him about his relationship with Li Jingxian, as far as I know, there should be a connection between them." ”

Speaking of business, Night Charm got rid of her thoughts from the sadness just now, and asked in a condensed voice, "Is Your Majesty suspicious of Yue Ning?" ”

"No, I don't doubt him, I just want to determine if Li Jingxian is really the mastermind behind everything." Li Chengqian shook his head: "But there are not many people I can trust now, and although many people are trustworthy, they don't have the ability to do this." ”

Night Charm's eyebrows raised slightly: "Didn't Your Majesty disagree with the minister's suggestion?" ”

"I don't agree with it now, but there are some things that have to be done carefully, although it is simple to let Xiaobai check, Xiaobai's identity is a little embarrassing, no matter what the result is, it will make her feel that I am suspicious of her."

Night Charm asked, "It's not the same when the minister goes to check. ”

Li Chengqian smiled helplessly: "It's different, you can use other excuses, such as wanting to leave as an excuse to run away for a while, which is also the reason why I asked you if you want to leave just now." ”

"Is that so?" Night Charm lowered her head slightly, as if considering the authenticity of Li Chengqian's words.

"Otherwise, if you do leave, to be honest, I really don't know that there is anyone like you who can make me unreserved." Li Chengqian grabbed the tea that had been cold on the table, tilted his head and poured it into his mouth, using it to calm the nervous mood just now.

Ye Mei has been with Li Chengqian for eighteen years, and she is very familiar with his habits, seeing him so nervous, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and the loss in his heart just now disappeared instantly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely complete the task, and he will find the answer no matter what." ”

Solving the misunderstanding made Li Chengqian a lot easier, but seeing Ye Mei's generosity and righteousness, he still instructed: "Although it is important to find answers, your safety is more important, if you find anything wrong, immediately contact the local agency of the Intelligence Bureau." In addition, bring more weapons when you go, don't be careless on the road. ”

"Hmm!" Night Charm nodded heavily, this was the first time she had answered Li Chengqian with a word other than 'yes'.

But Li Chengqian didn't realize what this meant, and still said to himself: "I vaguely remember that when Li Jingxian first appeared, Master Xiaobai once appeared, but he didn't particularly care about it at the time, and now that I think about it, there must be a special relationship between them." So you have to be careful when you go to check, and don't be too direct when asking, beware of the old guy suddenly turning his face. ”

A touch of warmth flashed in Ye Mei's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will get it!" However, during this period of absence, Your Majesty must be careful, and do not give the villain a chance. ”
