Mr. Zhao saw that the prince had agreed to him, and in order to show Li Hong his worth, he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Helan Minzhi is still a confidant, called Wu Youzhi, who lives in a manor outside the city, and there are three hundred dead soldiers in the manor for Helan Minzhi to drive, please give an order, be sure to kill them!" ”

Mr. Zhao betrayed Helan Minzhi, if this was known by Wu Youzhi, he would definitely die. That's why he told the secret of Helan Minzhi's dead soldiers outside the city.

Li Hong was also shocked when he heard that Helan Minzhi had cultivated three hundred dead soldiers, the dead soldiers were different from the guards, and they could not be cultivated by spending money, so being able to cultivate three hundred dead soldiers was enough to show Helan Minzhi's ability. Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered Chen Gong beside him, "Send an order to Li Duoqi, let him lead a thousand iron cavalry to destroy this dead army and capture Wu Youzhi back." ”

Li Hong has never been merciful to the enemy.

"You tell him the address of the manor." Li Hong pointed at Chen Gong and said. Mr. Zhao bowed down to receive the order and whispered a few words in Chen Gong's ear. Chen Gong nodded slightly and strode away.

Now that the prince believed his words, he had already sent someone to kill Wu Youzhi. Then Mr. Zhao also wanted to take advantage of the hot iron, and wanted to get closer to the prince again, so he bowed down to Li Hong and said carefully, "Your Highness, can the grass people report to you alone about your current enemy?" ”

"Yes." Li Hong nodded slightly.

There are not only the Yang family in the main hall, but also Luo Bin Wang and Zhang Bo, as well as the people from the Zhou Guogong Mansion outside the palace, and the things that Mr. Zhao said are still very confidential, so it is really inconvenient to speak here.

Li Hong left the main hall and walked through the main hall in a few steps to the side hall. Mr. Zhao cautiously followed behind him, walked into the main hall, and knelt down in front of Li Hong with a "plop" and pleaded, "The grass people Zao Wou-Ki has no strategy and can't tie up the chicken, but he has a heart that is willing to go to the soup for His Highness, is willing to follow His Highness's side, and asks His Highness to fulfill it." ”

Li Hong had long known that Mr. Zhao wanted to tell himself the secret he knew, so he would definitely have conditions, but he didn't expect that he would want to hug his thighs. After a little thought, he nodded and agreed, "If what you say is the truth, I will let you go to Chongwen Pavilion to be a bachelor." ”

The grade of the bachelors of Chongwen Pavilion is very low, and now Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing are both bachelors of Chongwen Pavilion. Ke Chongwen Hall is a place where the East Palace cultivates talents and cultivates useful talents for the crown prince. Therefore, entering the Chongwen Pavilion is equivalent to becoming a prince.

Li Hong said this, but he didn't fool Mr. Zhao.

When Mr. Zhao heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had agreed to his request, he was busy thanking him. He was originally a scholar with a lot of wealth, but because he was born in a poor family, failed the imperial examination for several years, and had no money to make a living, he committed himself to being a strategist under Helan Min. Now that he has met the crown prince, not only will he be lucky in the future, but he can also immediately confer the official title of a bachelor in Chongwen Pavilion.

Mr. Zhao was both excited and emotional!

This person, it depends on what kind of noble person you can meet, for example, when you meet someone like Helan Minzhi, he can only condescend to be a strategist, but when he meets His Royal Highness the Prince, he will become a straight scholar of Chongwen Pavilion in a blink of an eye.

Li Hong saw that Mr. Zhao was kneeling in a daze, so he said coldly, "Zao Wou-ki, what do you want to say to Gu, just say it quickly!" ”

"Returning to Your Highness, in fact, your enemies can be divided into two parts, one is the gate lord soldiers, and the other is the martial arts disciples." Zao Wou-Ki pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Get up and speak!" Li Hong said.

His expression was very serious at the moment, so when he heard Mr. Zhao's first sentence, he faintly felt that Mr. Zhao was not coping with him.

"Your Highness!" Mr. Zhao got up and began to say again, "The family wants to deal with His Highness because of Niangniang. At the beginning, Niangniang entered the palace to serve His Majesty as a poor woman, and she was proud to be crowned the queen and the mother of the world. This is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to the family members who have always supported the queen Wang from the Wang family. The people who supported the queen at the beginning have either been deposed or have long since ceased to be in the temple. But a group of their family gate valves united and failed to protect the queen and the abolished prince, would they be so willing? No. Therefore, they have been hiding in the shadows and waiting for their opportunity all the time. And His Highness is their chance. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao glanced at Li Hong, saw that the prince's expression was still the same, and he was not dissatisfied because he said this, so he continued, "Because the prince is the eldest son of Niangniang and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if something goes wrong, they can take the opportunity to attack Niangniang, and once Niangniang has a problem, won't the opportunity for them to make a comeback?" Prince, no matter what kind of relationship you have with your mother now, at least in the eyes of the family, you are one, one withered, and one prosperous. If your position is not secured, your mother will also be affected. If the mother asks the day, your position will not be too stable. ”

"Because, Your Majesty still has two princes who are older than you, as long as they have the support of the Shi clan gate lords, they are still qualified to win the position of the East Palace." Zao Wou-Ki said sonorously.

It was the first time for Li Hong to hear such an analysis of the sword, so he didn't want to express his own opinions, but asked lightly, "What else?" ”

Zao Wou-Ki said cautiously, "What's more, the relationship between Your Majesty and Niangniang is not too harmonious now, and Niangniang's participation in politics is an unbearable humiliation for the children of the Li royal family, and they can't deal with Niangniang openly, but they can take the opportunity to deal with Your Highness, so as to reach the position of affecting Niangniang, which can still be done." ”

"So, in addition to the gate valve of the Shi clan, the children of the Li royal family also have two hearts for Gu?" Li Hong asked.

"Yes." Zhao Wou-Ki replied affirmatively, "They are noble and powerful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be guarded against!" ”

"Let's talk about martial arts disciples!" Li Hong said.

"Regarding the martial arts disciples, they are aimed at His Highness, and they are still related to Niangniang..."Just as Zhao Wuji was about to continue, Chen Gong's voice came from outside the hall, "Your Highness, Zhang Si Yilang and Li Sheren are here, but they still have Mrs. Wei by their side, and Mrs. Wei said that she wants to meet Her Highness." ”

Zhang Cambodia, Li Qiao, and Yan Zhuang were arranged by Li Hong to go to the mansion of Mrs. Wei who went to search for Lan Minyue. Therefore, Helan Minyue came over, but Li Hong was not surprised.

"That's all for today, and you can tell Gu Shen again in the evening!" Li Hong said to Zao Wou-Ki and strode out of the side hall.

When he returned to the main hall, Li Hong saw Helan Minyue kneeling beside Helan Minzhi and crying in a low voice, Zhang Cambodia, Li Qiao, and Yan Zhuang were standing in the main hall waiting for him. Seeing him, the three of them hurriedly saluted him.

"Did you find anything?" Li Hong asked.

"Back to Your Highness, it has been searched." Zhang Cambodia replied, and shouted to the guards outside the hall, "Bring things up—"

Then eight guards carried four boxes into the main hall and put them on the ground.

"Open the box!" Zhang Cambodia said.

The eight guards opened the box, and saw a jewel shooting out of the box, reflecting the sunlight shining in from outside the hall, which was very dazzling. The chest contained not only gold and silver bars, but also jewels and jade. The four boxes are all slowly packed, worth millions of dollars!

"Your Highness, these things are all the same as described in the mouths of the merchants of the Western Regions." Yan Zhuang said. Li Hong sneered, "I really didn't expect there to be so many!" ”

This is not only the wealth that can be obtained by embezzling the taxes of the West City, most of it is Helan Minzhi who used his power for personal gain, bullied the people, and looted the people's fat and ointment.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, may I ask what crime my brother has committed, and you want to torture him like this?" At this moment, Helan Minyue had already gotten up, walked up to Li Hong and asked.

Li Hong moved his gaze to Helan Minyue, he found that Helan Minyue was still so beautiful and moving, even if she had just cried, there were still tears on her face, but she still couldn't hide her delicate face.

If he watched it for a long time, Li Hong knew that he would also be fascinated by her, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Wei Guo, have you seen all these things?" ”

Helan Minyue didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"These gold, silver and jade artifacts are all based on Helan Minzhi's use of his position to embezzle the taxes of the West City, as well as the income from the looted people's fat and ointment, do you think he committed such a big crime, can Lone still ignore it?" Li Hong roared coldly.

Helan Minyue was silent and didn't speak, because as a younger sister, she knew very well what Helan Minzhi was like. No one was willing to take care of it before, she didn't dare to take care of it, and she didn't pay attention to it. But today, the prince suddenly had a hard time and sent someone to search for these things. Only then did she realize how much of a crime her brother had committed.

"I don't dare to make a big crime against my brother, but after all, he is Niangniang's nephew, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to do this with great fanfare, right?" Helan Minyue said.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is Helan Minzhi?" Li Hong said disdainfully. However, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Helan Minyue, so he said in a soothing tone, "Helan Min's embezzlement of commercial taxes, human and material evidence, even if the father and the queen mother come forward to intercede, it is useless." Mrs. Wei Guo, you still don't interfere anymore. ”

"This-" Helan Minyue is just a ten-year-old girl, and she can understand anything about officialdom, so when Li Hong says this, she doesn't know what to say. Halfway through, she whispered, "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Li Hong, who wanted to refuse, saw Helan Minyue's pleading gaze, and finally did not agree.

When the two came to the side hall where Li Hong was talking to Zhao Wouji just now, Helan Minyue knelt in front of Li Hong with a "plop" and cried, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Minyue begs you, please let Brother go once!" ”

How much He Lan Minzhi hated himself, and he knew very well what Li Hong had done, so it was impossible for him to let He Lan Minzhi go. However, seeing such a big beauty as Helan Minzhi kneeling in front of him, crying like a child, Li Hong was hard-hearted, but he couldn't bear it, so he took two steps forward to help her up and said, "Come on, get up and talk." ”

But as soon as he helped Helan Minyue up, he saw Helan Minyue take advantage of the situation and fall into his arms. Then I saw her hugging Li Hong tightly with both hands, and said in a choked tone, "His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you can promise to let your brother go, no matter what you ask Minyue to do in the future, Minyue will promise you." ”

Li Hong didn't expect Helan Minyue to make such a move, his mind was blank, he didn't know what to do, he was so stunned, and let Helan Minyue hug him.

Seeing that the crown prince didn't push him away, Helan Minyue cried in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you know? In fact, Minyue also regrets coming to this point, Minyue said that she likes you very much, and you also said that you like to talk with Minyue, like to chat with Minyue, plant flowers together, and walk together. But... Min Yue really didn't expect it, she didn't expect it to happen later..."

When Helan Minyue said this, she couldn't control her emotions, and she cried "wow".

This cry woke Li Hong up, and he saw Helan Minyue fall into his arms and cry loudly, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. This is Gaozong's favorite woman, and he can't do anything to her if he dies! hurriedly pushed Helan Minyue away and said, "Mrs. Rongguo, please respect yourself, please respect yourself——! ”

But Helan Minyue just hugged Li Hong and cried vigorously.

Li Hong saw Helan Minyue crying so sadly, and then thought of what she said just now, and suddenly a memory of the bits and pieces of interaction between him and Helan Minyue suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he made sure that Helan Minyue didn't lie just now, so he didn't continue to push away this crying child-like woman, but hugged Helan Minyue tightly in his arms.
