Wei Zheng suddenly became indignant as he spoke, and roared: "Li Xiang is a beast-hearted thing, he obviously knows that I am in love with Luo Xi Nu, but he still wants to take Luo Xi Nu by his side and harass him frequently. Later, I was really afraid that Lord Gao and the eldest grandson Wuji would be disgusted, so I relented. ”

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth as he spoke: "I thought he was back to normal this time, but I didn't know that a few days later, I found out that Li Xiang was secretly harassing Luo Xinu behind his back, this time I didn't hold back, and went directly to talk to him." ”

Li Yuan listened, but his heart fluctuated, if what Wei Zheng said was true, then Li Xiang's personality was really not as decisive and witty as he was in doing things. Could it be that Li Xiang is really such a person? Li Yuan was a little unconvinced.

Liu Wenjing also didn't believe it, and he didn't think that what Wei Zheng said was a lie. It's very simple, Li Xiang has seen him, at that time, Li Xiang made a marriage to Luo Cheng and Xie Yingdeng, and the heroes of the Quartet gathered in Longmen, in that case, Li Xiang did not mess up, and resolved the crisis with a gesture.

Could it be that such a Li Xiang can still fall in the gentle township?

No way!

Wei Zheng didn't care what they thought, and continued: "Li Xiang is definitely a generous person in other matters, but when it comes to women, he doesn't give an inch, and in the end, the two of us quarreled and broke up unhappily. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng stopped and did not speak again, but kept pouring tea and drinking tea, as if he had never drunk it in his life.

Li Yuan stopped talking, and carefully reflected on what Wei Zheng said, only Liu Wenjing still didn't believe it, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know where to refute Wei Zheng.

After a period of silence, Li Yuan spoke first: "It turns out that Xuancheng also fell under the pomegranate skirt, haha, forget it, leave Li Xiang there, the old man will still give Xuancheng a good future here, come on, come on, the old man will replace the wine with tea, and welcome Xuancheng's arrival." ”

This can be regarded as Li Yuan's official acceptance of Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng got up immediately, poured himself a cup of tea, bent down slightly, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "Wei Zheng thank Tang Guogong for taking him in, from now on, only the prince of the country will be the first!" ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank the cup of tea, exposed the bottom of the cup, and showed it to Li Yuan, then put it down, still maintaining a slightly bowed posture, waiting for Li Yuan to speak.

Li Yuan smiled and drank the tea and said: "Okay, to get a virtuous talent like Wei Xuancheng is also a great joy for my Tang State Mansion, Wen Jing, you go and order, today the mansion will give Xuancheng a pick-up and set up a banquet, go Chai Shao, Wei Chigong and those people will call to let everyone meet." ”

Although Liu Wenjing was full of doubts, she said with a bright smile on her face: "I will follow the instructions of the Guogong, congratulations to the Guogong for getting another high talent, and also congratulations to Brother Xuancheng for abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and the future is bright!" Speak to the prince first, and come when you go down. Then he went out backwards and prepared for the feast.

Wei Zheng thanked Li Yuan again and asked, "I don't know what Guogong just said to Wen Jing?" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, it happened recently, didn't Xuan Cheng know about it when he came out of Li Xiang?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head blankly and said: "It's really not clear, what is the matter, please ask the Duke of the State to make it clear, if it is clear, he must know everything, and he will say everything." ”

"Okay, did Xuan Cheng ever know about Li Xiangqian's disappearance some time ago?" Li Yuan looked at this Wei Zheng and asked slowly.

"Missing?" Wei Zheng asked in surprise: "I don't know about the disappearance, but I heard that Master Gao said that Li Xiang came to Daxing to do something, why is he missing?" ”

Li Yuan really didn't expect Wei Zheng to directly say such important information with one mouth, and then said, "Oh? Hyun Cheng said, let's see, what the hell is going on? ”

Wei Zheng blinked, and then said, "Yes." In fact, at that time, he had already had a bad relationship with Li Xiang, and he didn't tell me anything. It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji was somewhat separated from him at that time, and I learned from him that Li Xiang, who had not been seen for several days, had arrived in Daxing, saying that he was here to do something. ”

said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, I don't know what he wants to do, it's just that everyone said that he was kidnapped by a martial arts master at the beginning, and then Master Gao specially asked Wuji to post a notice in the city, saying that Li Xiang came to Daxing, which made the people settle down." ”

said and sighed again: "Li Xiang is actually very capable, except for some immorality in the matter of women, he really can't find fault with others." He didn't show up in Luoyang City for a few days, and the people actually went to the Taishou Mansion to inquire about it, and after learning that Li Xiang was kidnapped, they also donated money in the hope that the government would send troops to suppress the bandits. ”

Wei Zheng said and said, the topic seemed to be pulled away, Li Yuan really hoped to get some inside information about Li Xiang from Wei Zheng at first, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, where is this revealing news, it is simply a different way to keep his mouth shut.

However, Li Yuan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "It seems that Xuancheng was also concealed by Li Xiang, in fact, he really came to Daxing to do something, but he was not happy to come to Daxing, and he was indeed kidnapped by the young master of the Maitreya Sect at the beginning." ”

"Maitreya!" Wei Zheng suddenly said in a panic.

"What? Why did Xuan Cheng hear such a reaction from Maitreya? Li Yuan saw Wei Zheng's expression and also asked.

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Isn't the Maitreya Sect the cult of Song Zixian back then?" I heard that they used demon magic to demagoguery and organize the people to rebel. Didn't Your Majesty send a lot of troops to destroy it? Why, now that there is suddenly a young master, could it be that Maitreya Sect has revived? ”

Li Yuan held his breath again and said, "It seems that Xuan Cheng still knows very little about the world today!" Forget it, let's not mention Maitreya, let's talk about Li Xiang. ”

Wei Zheng didn't speak, nodded and waited for Li Yuan to continue.

Li Yuan said again: "It can be said that Li Xiang was indeed kidnapped to Daxing, but this guy didn't know what method he used, he was able to escape from the hands of the young master of the Maitreya Sect, and he didn't suffer any harm along the way. ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he made up his mind, it seemed that Li Xiang was not in any danger, so it was good, and continued to ask: "The young master of the Maitreya Sect was captured, so didn't Li Xiang ask for trouble?" As far as I know, in all parts of the north, the remnants of Maitreya can definitely form an army of 10,000 people. Although they are not as powerful as the army fed by the imperial court, their methods cannot but be admired. ”

"Oh? What does Hyun Sung mean? Li Yuan didn't understand what Wei Zheng said.

"Guogong, think about it, why has the imperial court sent many teams to suppress it in recent years, but it has always achieved little success, and it can even be said that it is more and more suppressed? In fact, there is only one reason, Maitreya's witchcraft can control people's minds, so that they will not lack those foolish people who don't know what pain and death are to work for him. ”

Wei Zheng stated the fundamental reason for the prosperity of Maitreya.

Li Yuan also had to admit that Wei Zheng was telling the truth. Thinking about the Maitreya Sect from scratch, it was exterminated, and now it is resurrected, in fact, it is not that Song Zixian has many abilities at all, but that he can be the hearts of the people. Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly became wary of Li Xiang again.

He remembered very clearly that Li Xiang once said that those who win the hearts of the people are in the world.

No matter how much power you have, in the end without the support of the people, there are only two situations, one is to be betrayed by those powerful ministers in the court, the government and you can't get along, and you are finally defeated, and your head is different.

The second is to be overthrown by the common people and die directly without a place to be buried.

Like Song Zixian and his Maitreya Sect, what they choose now is to cooperate with the common people, so they will suppress more and more, it is obvious that no matter when the government comes, they will definitely appear, and they will fight if they disagree.

Rather than doing this, Song Zixian actually chose to find a stable backer in the official mansion. This person is none other than Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Kingdom.

In fact, the Maitreya Sect now has its own spokespersons in the larger cities, and these people take the money given by the Maitreya Sect to help the Maitreya Sect evade the encirclement and suppression of the government again and again, so that the Maitreya Sect can save the day every time.

Wearing the official uniform granted by Yang Guang, but secretly betraying Yang Guang, such collusion between officials and bandits is the main reason why Maitreya has been able to escape the encirclement and suppression again and again, on the contrary, there are more and more.

As the saying goes, day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and this is what it means.

"Xuancheng, where did you come from?" Li Yuan heard that if Wei Zheng was telling the truth, then he would definitely not be in Luoyang City during this time.

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "On the third day after Li Xiang's disappearance, I discussed with Luo Xinu in the next place, I came directly to Guogong, she stayed in Luoyang, and if there was anything over there, she could also inform me as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, at the beginning, I went to Jinyang from Luoyang, and I thought that Guogong had always been in Jinyang. How do you know that when it comes to the air, the housekeeper in the Guogong Mansion said that the Guogong will exterminate the unscrupulous thieves in Huoyi. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't stop, and rushed to Huoyi non-stop. Who knew that after arriving in Huoyi, he happened to meet the second son, saying that Guogong had just set off from Huoyi and came to Daxing. No, I just chased the Daxing that Guogong came to. ”

Wei Zheng said his itinerary during this period of time, and said with a wry smile: "The words of the ancients are really every word!" That's probably what it means. Now that I have met Guogong, I am relieved. ”

Li Yuan was depressed again, how could it be that every time he wanted to ask for some important news, this Wei Zheng would have all kinds of suitable reasons to prevaricate him, could it be that he really couldn't get any useful information from Wei Zheng's mouth?

Li Yuan began to feel sad, of course, he didn't know that compared to Wei Zhenglai, who spoke with a clear eye now, Wei Zheng a few years later was the person he and his second son feared and admired the most.
