Chapter 264: The East Palace Controversy

"Knock knock!"

There was a sharp knock on the door......

Wei Zheng knocked his head hard, took a breath of cold air with a grin, and shouted, "Here, who!" ”

Li Yuan went to Renzhi Palace to escape the summer, and also took a group of cronies and old ministers with him. Those cronies and ministers all have a pivotal position in the court, and they are each responsible for this certain thing. They walked away and pulled down a lot of things.

Li Jiancheng was busy swallowing Li Yuanji's forces, handing over most of the things to Wei Zheng, and those who were able worked hard.

Compared with Zhiluo, Wei Zheng's talent in politics was more relied on by Li Jiancheng.

Wei Zheng's affairs suddenly tripled compared to the past, and he went out early and returned late every day, and there were no complaints. Tonight, he dragged his tired body home, washed up, and slept tired. It hadn't slept for an hour, and it was in a state of deep sleep, when it suddenly woke people up in an unusually violent way, and there were bursts of piercing pain in the head.

"Father, the prince suddenly sent someone to report, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters that need to be discussed with my father." The voice of the eldest son, Wei Shuyu, came from the door.

Wei Zheng's expression changed slightly, thinking about the current situation, his expression gradually became grim, and he said in his heart: "It's finally here!" ”

Regardless of his physical and mental exhaustion, he hurriedly put on his clothes, freshened up a little, picked himself up on horseback, and went straight to the East Palace. Although he was a literati, he had already experienced a military career since he came from the troubled times, and his riding skills were not bad, and he arrived at the periphery of the palace in a short time.

It was supposed to be the time to close the door, but because of Li Jiancheng's special instructions. A small door was opened on the right side of the palace for them to enter.

When he arrived at the East Palace, Wei Zhengxian was waiting for him: Wang Jue, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, and Zhao Hongzhi were all there. The person in charge of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng, sat solemnly on the seat. His brows have been twisted into Sichuan characters, revealing his anxiety at the moment. He had a premonition that Li Shimin's long-planned offensive would be extremely strong. But he never imagined that the offensive would be so ruthless, interlocking, and directly let him stand on his side, and his biggest reliance, Li Yuan, was suspicious and dissatisfied with him.

Seeing Wei Zheng coming, he hurriedly motioned for him to take a seat. The current crisis situation is stated.

There are two pieces of information, one from Concubine Yin De in the harem, and the other from Feng Deyi.

Yin Defei's intelligence focuses on the result and does not know the process. Feng Deyi's intelligence happened to understand the process, but he didn't know Li Yuan's attitude and mood after that. Taken together, the two pieces of information happen to be complete.

Wei Zheng walked into the hall and sat down, and listened to Li Jiancheng say bitterly: They secretly sent weapons to the governors of other states without the military department, and the escort officials changed their flags. Starry Night arrives at the Phoenix Valley Renzhi Palace. Go up the mountain to face the Son of Heaven.

Secretly glanced around, saw that everyone's faces were pale and panicked, and his heart was depressed: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”

Li Jiancheng intended to rely on the attention of recruiting private soldiers to deal with Li Shimin, but he did not agree, recruiting private soldiers is a major crime of rebellion, and it is too easy for people to grasp the handle. The best way to deal with Li Shimin is to kill. Sure enough, now the handles are in the hands of the other party. It's up to them to say whatever they want.

It's just that even Li Jiancheng made a mistake first. Wei Zheng was still terrible about the current situation. Xin Dao: "People say that Tiance Mansion is scorching, far better than the three provinces and six departments. Sure enough. ”

"Now the three thieves insist that King Gu instructed Yang Wengan to intend to kill the monarch and rebel, and the father ...... My father listened to the rumors and asked me to go and discuss the matter of dealing with the Turks after the Autumn Festival......" Li Jiancheng said and asked him to discuss the handling of the Turks, his tone full of self-deprecation.

This is a trick that a discerning person can see at a glance.

"For such an important matter, the envoy must come in an urgent manner for eight hundred miles, and it is estimated that he will receive the edict tomorrow, so he can only invite the princes overnight to discuss together, what do you think is the case?" Li Jiancheng didn't pay attention for a while.

"Your Highness must not go!" Xu Shimo, the crown prince's housekeeper, stood up suddenly, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is now deceived by traitors, and it has been determined that His Royal Highness colluded with Yang Dudu to intend to kill the monarch and rebel. Your Highness is here, it is not easy to fall into the mouth of the tiger and throw yourself into the net! ”

"What if you don't go? Is it not complimentary? Zhao Hongzhi, the chief bookkeeper, immediately retorted, "Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan, the two thieves, dare to reverse black and white like this, and they have received the benefits of King Qin." King Qin just wanted to turn a small mistake into a major case of rebellion, so as to replace His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness really disobeys the order, he will be tantamount to conspiring against him, and he will be in the hands of a thief! At that time, His Majesty gave an order, and the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong responded one after another, wouldn't they be self-defeating? ”

"And what do you think?" Xu Shimo said-for-tat.

"Do as you are told." Zhao Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Your Highness forgives the minister's bluntness, now that this matter has been revealed, there are all the human and material evidence. Instead of stubbornly denying it, it is better to bear it truthfully. Pretending not to know anything, he went to see His Majesty and confessed to the crime of plotting against the king. ”

"How can this work?" Wei Ting was stunned and said, "Won't Your Highness become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others?" Now His Majesty is angry, with the treachery of King Qin, he will definitely fall into the well and fan the flames, and His Royal Highness will not be in danger at that time. ”

"How could King Qin be so irritable and incompetent." Wei Zheng couldn't help but interject: "If King Qin really falls into the well and says bad things about His Highness everywhere, then it will be fine." I'm afraid that he will wholeheartedly defend His Highness, and use his own virtue to contrast His Highness's mediocrity, which makes His Majesty have the idea of easy storage. ”

Li Jiancheng's expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "What should I do?" ”

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness is the beloved son of His Majesty, the eldest of the ranks, and his loyalty, benevolence and filial piety are known all over the world. To His Royal Highness, His Majesty has always been kind and respectful. Now that His Majesty is willing to summon him to inquire about the situation, it can be seen that although the Son of Heaven is angry, he always has a little hope. The minister thought that he should not pretend that he didn't know anything, and directly showed that he knew about it, and he went to Renzhi Palace to take the blame, and proved his innocence by throwing himself into the net and killing himself. ”

"!" Xu Shimo suddenly became irritable, "Alone, now the entire Phoenix Valley is a few Niangniang and Feng Deyi are His Royal Highness's people, they have no soldiers and no power." His Royal Highness went alone, and King Qin only needed to send a dead soldier at will to take His Highness's life. I think of this kind of stupid idea, I think you have received the benefits of King Qin. ”

"Shut up!" Li Jiancheng's face sank, and he shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense, don't be rude!" The Lone King absolutely believes in Mr. Wei's loyalty. ”

"I'm in a hurry!" Xu Shimo apologized to Wei Zheng first, bowed to Li Jiancheng, and said in a loud voice: "Now Your Majesty is far away in the Phoenix Valley, and there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses. And His Royal Highness occupies the capital, holds the military talisman, and can mobilize tens of thousands of horses at any time. Governor Yang and General Li Yi are also looking forward to His Royal Highness, and their strength can be described as a huge disparity, why should they cut off their wings and go to Renzhi Palace alone to be captured?
