East Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, General Pei is here!"

Because Pei Xingjian's place was the farthest away from the East Palace, when he arrived, Xu Jingzong and the other three had already been waiting in the main hall for a long time, but although they came early, they could only wait dryly.

After Pei Xingjian hurriedly came in and several people saluted each other, Xu Jingzong caused a conversation and asked.

"I don't know why His Highness urgently summoned me and others to come?"

In fact, Xu Jingzong and Hao Chujun were originally handling government affairs in the political affairs hall, but they were suddenly summoned to the East Palace by Li Hong, and they were already holding back their doubts in their hearts.

What he didn't expect was that immediately after him, Dai Zhide, who was originally resting at home, was also invited, and even Pei Xingjian was also invited.

For a while, Xu Jingzong's expression was slightly solemn, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had always acted steadily, and now that His Majesty was not in Chang'an City, almost all government affairs were on them, but it was at this time that the prince actually summoned all of them to the East Palace, so it can be seen that something big must have happened!

It's just that I don't know what kind of thing makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so strict!

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, there won't be much nonsense about Lonely, Xu Xiang, when was the last military report submitted by the Ministry of War, and where is the return journey of the Eastern Expeditionary Army?"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Hong had a faint look of embarrassment between his eyebrows, and slowly spoke.

It's just that this sentence surprised everyone.

Could it be that something happened to the Eastern Crusade army?

"Your Highness, the recent military report submitted by the Ministry of War arrived three days ago, the Eastern Expeditionary Army has now been about half a month old, this time the army is no more numerous than when the Western Expedition was made, and in about seven days, it will return to the Beijing Division!" What, what's wrong? ”

Although he had doubts in his heart, Xu Jingzong still replied.

As the chief prime minister of the political affairs hall, he naturally remembers these things clearly!

"I don't know if Xu Xiang has noticed that these days, all the military reports have been sent to the Beijing Division through the hands of Liu Renliang, and although the British Duke as the commander was killed, the right deputy general General Xue Rengui has no news, not to mention that the pacification of Goguryeo this time, the time to return is too fast, even if it is a rapid march, I am afraid it is not much faster than this speed, Gu Zheng felt that this matter was a little strange, so he summoned you to discuss!"

Li Hong didn't elaborate on the implicit meaning of this, but everyone here was a human spirit, so how could he not understand what he meant.

At that moment, his face was a little solemn, and after a pause, Dai Zhide said slowly.

"Your Highness is saying that Liu Renliang has already controlled the Eastern Expeditionary Army, with bad intentions? This matter is important, can Your Highness have empirical evidence? ”

Only Dai Zhide dared to say this, as the left servant of Shangshu Province, he and Liu Renliang have never been at odds, and apart from him, even Hao Chujun, who has the most hot temper, probably wouldn't dare to guess the prime minister of a political hall for such a reason.

"Lone just thinks it's a little strange, but there is no specific evidence, but now that the father and queen mother are not in Chang'an City, once anything happens, it is not something we can afford to bear, so Lone Fang summoned you here to discuss this matter!"

Li Hong's tone was awe-inspiring, but his voice carried a sense of majesty.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Xian's strange behavior in the prison just now, Li Hong probably wouldn't have dared to be sure of the guess in his heart, but as Wang Fusheng said, when Li Xian saw the will of his beheading, he was still able to remain calm, but when he heard that the date of beheading was set for three days later, he suddenly became crazy.

Especially for a dying person, is there a big difference between a few days earlier and a few days later?

Why did Li Xian not hesitate to beg him so much, just so that he could continue to live in prison for a few days?

It's definitely more than that!

Although Li Hong doesn't know why he is so sure, this matter must be related to Liu Renliang, especially in the past half a month, Liu Renliang's marching speed has become faster and faster, not at all like the appearance of the class returning to the dynasty, but like a military situation.

When you think about it, there is definitely an ulterior secret in this.

It's just that these are just speculations, and it's not enough to convince them......

"Your Highness, with all due respect to the old minister's bluntness, Liu Fushu is the prime minister of the political affairs hall, if there is no evidence, how can he rashly take measures against him, not to mention that there is nothing abnormal in the Eastern Expeditionary Army now, we can't use the possibility as a reason to punish the meritorious ministers who pacified Goguryeo, this move will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

Although Hao Chujun usually has a good relationship with the East Palace, he can be clear about such a major event, and although he said it politely, it was the truth.

The rest of the people were silent, but their attitudes were clear.

Li Hong pondered slightly for a moment and said softly.

"You are right, but this matter is important, even if it is only possible, it should not be taken lightly, this is also the reason why Lone gathered you here, Lone has sent someone to send the song to Jiucheng Palace overnight, presumably the will of the father will come soon, but before that, the defense in Chang'an City must be tightened!"

In fact, he had long been suspicious of the old guy Liu Renliang in his heart, and he had already sent it to Jiucheng Palace, but for some reason, Li Zhi had not approved it until now.

"It's doable!"

Dai Zhide bowed slightly, although they can't take any strong measures now, but there is always nothing wrong with strengthening defense.

Xu Jingzong and Hao Chujun on the side glanced at each other, and both nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the security ministers in Chang'an City will definitely do their best to ensure that there will never be any chaos in the next few days!"

Seeing this scene, Pei Xingjian arched his hand and said in a deep voice.

The garrison in Chang'an City is divided into the Inner Army and the Imperial Forest Army, and Pei Xingjian is in charge of the Inner Army and is responsible for the security garrison in Chang'an City, which is why Li Hong called him over today.

"Your Highness......"

At this moment, Wang Fusheng hurriedly walked in from outside the door, with a hint of eagerness in his tone.

Between Li Hong's doubts, the latter walked into Li Hong's ear and said softly.

"Just now, the chief manager Wu in the palace sent a letter, saying that His Majesty ordered him to hand it over to His Highness, and also said that His Majesty dictated, how to deal with it, no need to ask for instructions, just dispose of it yourself!"

Li Hong frowned slightly and asked softly.

"What about others?"

"Gone!"

After receiving the letter handed over by Wang Fusheng, Li Hong fixed his eyes and saw that it actually read "Your Majesty personally enlightened", and the pen was strong and clear...... Li Ji's handwriting!

After hesitating for a moment, Li Hong simply opened the envelope, but the content of it made Li Hong's face change suddenly!
