The development of things is often unexpected, when the morning sun rises, Xie Yi hugs Xu Hui and wakes up in his sleep, and he is still lamenting the bitterness of the spring night and the time when the day is high.

Something happened to the Qi Palace, to be precise, it was an accident in the long history of Quan Wanji.

Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao are the warriors recently recruited by Li You, the king of Qi, who are known for their bravery, and have often accompanied Li You in recent times, practicing martial arts and hunting.

Probably because His Royal Highness King Qi is favored, the two reckless people Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao are a little fluttery, and even don't know the height of the sky.

In recent times, their actions have often been more domineering, and they don't take others seriously at all. Whether it is on the streets of Qizhou or in the palace of the king of Qi, there is some meaning in the eyes of no one, and when others are slightly disobedient, the two of them raise their fists, which is daunting.

Li You, the king of partial Qi, is particularly favored, even if someone is dissatisfied or complains, he doesn't take it to heart at all, and all of them have become a deaf ear. Pampering and arrogance is probably the common problem of many people who are suddenly lucky, these two have no intention of restraining at all, but are getting more and more carried away, and their behavior is becoming more and more perverse.

Finally one day, when they were doing something to the two palace maids in the palace, they happened to be hit by Quan Wanji.

How dare you be so lawless? The palace maids in the palace theoretically only belong to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the two reckless people in the mountains and wilderness are so rude and bold that there is no royal law.

Although Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao explained that His Royal Highness King Qi had acquiesced to this matter, Quan Wanji did not buy it at all, and unceremoniously asked them to take out the documents rewarded by His Royal Highness King Qi. In addition, according to the rules, the matter of the palace rewarding the palace maids should also be reported to the palace province. The princess still needs to nod her head in agreement, after all, the women who serve in the palace and the palace are often related to the royal bloodline, and they can't be casual.

Of course. In practice, it was obviously not so strict, and it was not a matter for the prince to reward someone with a maid in the palace. Quan Wanji's actions today can even be said to be a bit of a fuss, and more to use this reason to rectify the atmosphere of the palace.

After all, in addition to the king of Qi and the princess, the palace of the king of Qi is respected by the long history, especially when the prince is still young, the power and responsibility status of the long history is higher.

Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao were a little surprised, where did they take it seriously when they have always been unscrupulous? I thought I was relying on the favor of His Royal Highness King Qi. didn't even take Quan Wanji in his eyes, and there were many unkind things in his words.

This time he completely annoyed Quan Wanji, and he no longer cares about scruples. With an iron-faced and selfless attitude, he unceremoniously reprimanded the two and wanted to drive them out of the Qi Palace.

As the governor of the palace, he has this power and ability. Simple things suddenly become a little complicated.

Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao only began to be a little scared at this time. It's a pity that it seems to be too late, even if Li You, the king of Qi, came in person, Quan Wanji didn't have the slightest intention of relenting.

Li You, the king of Qi, was so depressed that he almost turned his face with Quan Wanji on the spot, and only calmed down under the persuasion of everyone and said: "Sir, these two handmaidens were given to them by this king, there is nothing wrong, right?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, has the princess ever agreed to use the seal and report to the Central Province of Chang'an Palace?"

"Sir. Is it necessary? Li You was full of anger, only to feel that Quan Wanji was deliberately finding fault. And take out those rules that describe fiction to oppress yourself.

Quan Wanji said earnestly: "Your Highness, even if you don't care about these, even if it is a maid given to them by Your Highness, but you openly misbehave in the palace, what kind of system does it become?" What's more, the two of them have been walking with crutches these days, which has caused great indignation in the palace and the city, how can they do it if they are not reprimanded and disciplined? If they are allowed to continue to stay with His Highness, they may damage His Highness's reputation. ”

"Mr. Kwon is serious."

"Your Highness, the minister is not alarmist, His Majesty has appointed the minister to come to serve His Highness, and the minister must naturally be conscientious." Quan Wanji has a tough attitude and does not have the slightest intention of backing down.

Li You was even more annoyed in his heart, he didn't know how many words he had scolded Quan Wanji, and he suddenly brought out the emperor Li Shimin, how did Li You dare to refute?

Under the persuasion of Yin Hongzhi and others, they could only watch Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao being expelled from the Qi Palace.

This is just the beginning, and no one expected that soon after, a holy decree came from Chang'an, asking Li You, the king of Qi, to repay Li You, the king of Qi.

The matter actually reached the ears of the Emperor of Chang'an? and specially came to apply for the Holy Decree, which made Li You shocked.

Yin Hongzhi said bitterly: "Your Highness, this is not a good phenomenon, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered a reprimand for such a small thing, and if there is something in the future, maybe it will ......."

At this time, Li You's heart once again resurfaced the sentence "the old things of the former Han Linjiang King" in Concubine Yin's letter, and his heart couldn't help but shake violently. Yin Hongzhi's seemingly casual half-sentence, the meaning is already obvious, if there is another mistake, maybe the next step is to issue an edict to ask for the crime, or even directly depose the prince.

Thinking of these terrible consequences, Li You suddenly felt a chill, this situation was really too terrifying.

"How did the matter of Qizhou spread to Chang'an so quickly?" Li You's focus now is on this issue, and it's where all his anger is concentrated.

Yin Hongzhi didn't answer, this question doesn't need to be answered at all, the answer is already obvious, there are no more than three possibilities. Either the emperor has spies in Qizhou, or Xie Yi and Xu Xiaode, who have now become one, or Quan Wanji in the palace.

As for which the real answer is, it depends on what Li You thinks.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Qi has no trust in his long history, and is sure that it was Quan Wanji who complained to Chang'an, so his anger at Quan Wanji was even deeper.

There are some things that need not be said, almost all of the thoughts of Li You, the king of Qi, are written on his face, and Quan Wanji is not stupid, so he naturally knows what the reason is.

So he had an explanation to Li You: "Your Highness, you are Your Majesty's beloved son, Your Majesty's decree is not to reprimand, but to hope that Your Highness can reform your ways, so there are a few words of reproach, Your Highness must not go to your heart." If His Highness can reform himself, the minister is willing to explain to His Highness. ”

Quan Wanji's words were quite sincere. He naturally has his reasons for saying this, firstly, he confessed himself to Li You, showing that he did not complain to Chang'an. At the same time, it is also a responsibility. In Quan Wanji's view, if he does not hand over Li You, the king of Qi, it is tantamount to his own dereliction of duty, and he has failed the emperor's trust, and it is difficult to explain to Li Shimin.

Therefore, he pinned his hopes on Li You to reform himself, and then went up to Li Shimin to protect him, to a certain extent, he also pursued a happy situation.

In such a situation, Li You is not too harsh. The situation has eased for the time being.

Sure enough, not long after Quan Wanji was sparse, Li Shimin's edict came again, but the content of the edict was more interesting. The so-called criminal responsibility for Quan Wanji's so-called dereliction of duty in teaching and admonishing is completely inappropriate. He was exempted from punishment, but still reprimanded Li You for his previous mistakes.

Li Shimin's approach is probably the same as the education method of later parents, who is lenient with others and strict with their own children. At the same time, because of the trampling on farmland by Li Ke, the king of Wu in the early years. has been treated harshly for a time. It's a bit inappropriate to do this again this time, so Li Shimin forgave Quan Wanji, of course, there is nothing wrong with Quan Changshi itself.

As for Li You, Li Shimin probably didn't think much about it, thinking that Li You was his son, and it didn't matter if he was strict, so that he could realize his mistakes and reflect on himself from time to time. A strict father is a filial son!

But it's a pity that Li Shimin somewhat ignored Li You's nature and mind. and the specific environment of Qizhou.

Kwon Wanji is fine, but he was applied, and in Li You's opinion, there is no doubt that Kwon Wanji betrayed himself. What bullshit to help explain to himself is to pick up all the dirty water on the prince, and then splash all the dirty water on the prince.

Li You was already narrow-minded, coupled with the instigation and instigation of Yin Hongzhi and others, Li You was sure of this result, and his disgust with Quan Wanji reached the extreme.

In a bad mood, Li You wanted to go out for a walk, gallop a horse and hunt or something, but Quan Wanji jumped out to stop it. claimed that His Royal Highness the King of Qi would not be allowed to leave the city, and now he should stay in the palace to introspect himself, and not associate with a group of villains, so as to live up to the emperor's teaching.

Quan Wanji has an upright personality and is not tactful enough, although he is kind-hearted, but there are some problems with the way, and the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it very much.

Li You, the king of Qi, had more and more prejudice against him, and he had no choice but to return to the city when he couldn't turn his face with Quan Wanji on the spot.

But Li You couldn't stop completely, he recruited Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and others back, and frolicked in the palace all day long, in order to disagree with Quan Wanji.

At this point, Li You, the king of Qi, and Changshi Quan Wanji completely parted ways, went in opposite directions, and the contradictions accumulated to an almost irreconcilable contradiction.

……

Such a scene is naturally very happy to be seen by some people.

In a mansion somewhere in Qizhou City, a man with brown eyes showed a smug smile, he was none other than Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Jundu.

Since he fled from Yongzhou that year, he has been incognito, hiding in the mountains and forests and dark places, living a dark and ghostly life.

He never forgot the family feud, and it was just a matter of destroying the city and destroying the country in Luoyang, but Yongzhou Dugu Xiude killed Wang Shichong's family. In the end, the huge Wang family was the only one who escaped, so hateful, how could Wang Jundu forget?

In the past twenty years, his biggest dream, and all his energy, has been focused on revenge. Thinking that Wang Shichong had been operating in Luoyang for a long time, there were still a lot of remnants in the land of Heluo, and when Wang Jundu came back, he was naturally under his command.

then hid and became a secret anti-Tang force, and became a ghostly monster in Li Shimin's eyes.

Over the years, Wang Jundu has done a lot of things, such as assassinating Li Shimin in Shaanzhou; assassinated Li Chengqian in Qujiang, provoked a fight between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, etc.

It's a pity that it backfired, none of them succeeded, and it happened that all these things failed because of Xie Yi, so that Wang Jundu had a feeling. In a way, Xie Yi seems to be his destined nemesis.

Since the return of Lu Dongzan from Chang'an, Wang Jundu has clearly realized one thing, it is impossible to use external forces to exterminate the Tang Dynasty. Xue Yantuo has been destroyed, the Tubo people are frightened, the Western Turks are beyond their reach, and the Goryeo people can't count on it at all.

Since there is no way to borrow from the outside, then we can only look for opportunities from the inside, and if the Central Plains is in chaos again, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of it. However, those anti-Wang heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty have all been exterminated, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the jurisdiction was very strict, and the policy of governing the country was also good.

Where will anyone rise up? Where will anyone jump out and rebel? The chaotic times that we look forward to are simply unexpected. However, it is not without chance, a strong fortress is the easiest to break through from the inside, Wang Jundu may not know this sentence, but he understands this truth.

He was keenly aware that if he wanted to provoke strife, he could only start from within, such as the royal strife. Don't you see that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the early Jin Dynasty appeared like this? Wasn't there a great chaos in the world at that time? That's what he saw.

During Wang An's time, Wang Jundu saw the-for-tat confrontation between the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, and keenly smelled the opportunity.

That is to use the prince to provoke Li Tang to fight in the royal family.

After careful analysis, Wang Jundu chose the object - Li You, the king of Qi, who was one of the few princes who were sealed outside. Only when the prince is divided into foreign fathers can he rebel and cause rebellion.

Wu King Li Ke was originally the most suitable candidate, the grandson of the former Sui, and still had some soldiers and horses in Songzhou, but Wu King Li Ke himself was very talented and assertive, and there was no sign of rebellion. Wang Jundu did not dare to have any contact with Li Ke, and finally chose the target of Li You, the king of Qi.

Li You's background is special, because of the special background of Concubine Yin, it is completely possible to rebel. Moreover, King Qi himself is young, has a perverse personality, and is easier to control. And Qizhou is far away from Chang'an, it is not easy to be detected accurately, and Qizhou is the hometown of Northern Qi, where the Shandong scholars are entrenched, and it is originally separated from Chang'an in Guanzhong.

If there is really a rebellion, it is easy to win support, get a place to build a foundation, and then make a relatively large plot. So here they are, and it seems to be progressing well.

Now they have successfully infiltrated the Qi Palace, but it is unfortunate that their traces were still noticed by the Tang royal family, and Xie Yi also followed them to Qizhou.

This made Wang Jundu have a very bad premonition, and many things could only be accelerated, such as deliberately delivering news to Chang'an, which attracted Li Shimin's suspicion of Li Zhi.

deliberately arranged for Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao and other subordinates to infiltrate the palace of the king of Qi, and find a way to provoke the contradiction between Li You, the king of Qi, and Changshi Quan Wanji. When Li You did not have this biggest loyal minister by his side, only Yin Hongzhi, a hateful conspirator, and Yan Hongxin, a wealthy speculator, everything was easy.

The progress of things is also similar to expected, it can be said that it is getting better, in Wang Jundu's view, the opportunity for himself to fear that the world will not be chaotic has finally come. (To be continued.) )
