Lishan Hot Spring Palace.

The foot of the mountain was guarded by the Li Tang Imperial Forest Army layer by layer, and it was heavily guarded.

Now Li Yuan brought his favorite Xue Jieyu, Zhang Jieyu and others to the Hot Spring Palace to recuperate. Since Li Chongjiu conquered the Turks, Li Yuan's health has not been very good, and he has been doing everything himself all the year round, which makes his body a little tired.

It is said that after Li Chongjiu destroyed the Turks this time, Li Yuan fell ill. In fact, Li Yuan is well ill, but the cause is the accumulation of work for many years, coupled with the recent sorrow and barrenness in Guanzhong, the lack of money and food, the lack of progress in the war, and more importantly, the open and secret struggle of the three sons made Li Yuan upset.

In the end, Li Yuan became seriously ill in Wuji Palace.

After recovering from his illness, the imperial doctor's advice was to let Li Yuan recuperate for a while. Li Yuan had to compromise in the face of his illness, handed over the major affairs of the court and politics to Li Jiancheng, and the prince supervised the country, and gave the military affairs to Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shentong generals, and then went to the hot spring palace to recuperate.

After more than ten days, Li Yuan was in good health, but he served the palace people in the Hot Spring Palace, and he was also thinking of ways to make Li Yuan happy.

On this day, Li Yuan, Xue Jieyu, and Zhang Jieyu were enjoying the palace music and dance, but they saw one hundred and twenty-eight Tang army soldiers, holding a vigorous walk, like a battle array, and the band on the side played and beat the big drum.

Singing and dancing together, but seeing the Tang Army armor soldiers chanting: "The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today. The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn. ”

Several well-intentioned people were watching Li Yuan's face at this time. But seeing that Li Yuan's expression was as usual, he looked at the singing and dancing as usual.

Xue Jieyu couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What does Your Majesty think of this dance?" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Very good, when I was serving Emperor Yang of the former dynasty in the palace. I've heard the song of King Lanling's entry, but it's not as good as this song. ”

Xue Jieyu smiled and said, "Yes." His Majesty, the King of Qin, broke the formation, and it was when the King of Qin was in the second year of Wude. Yu Taiyuan repelled the attack of the Zhao army, and the soldiers filled in the new words with the old song, so that there was this Qin king's broken formation song. ”

Li Yuan listened and said lightly: "Very good." The tune is very good, and the King of Qin is also very good. ”

Li Yuan sat for a while, and then someone on the side said, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter from Gyeongju." ”

Li Yuan immediately said: "Xuan! Let him come to the study. ”

In the study, Li Yuan held the secret letter in his hand, and then looked at Er Zhuhuan and Yu Zhining who were kneeling in front of him. The anger on his face grew.

Yu Zhining stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body, your anger hurts your body, and your illness will not be long after." ”

Li Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "Rebel son, how can I not be angry, King Qin, where is it now?" ”

Yu Zhining said: "After the King of Qin heard the news, he was still sitting in Chang'an. ”

Li Yuan showed a look of appreciation and said, "Okay, Chang'an is important and can't leave without permission." The king of Qin did the right thing, you sue the king of Qin, give me a watch on the crown prince and the king of Qi, and if there is any change, come and report immediately. In addition, I wrote a secret edict to you and handed it to the King of Qin, so that he could control the forbidden army of the Northern and Southern Ya at any time. ”

"We're in command." Yu Zhining knelt down at the moment.

"In addition, I have passed on my edict, ordering the prince to come to the Hot Spring Palace to see me immediately!"

Chang'an East Palace.

A fast horse galloped. The people on the horse shouted at the people in front of the palace gate: "Hurry, hurry." Open the door quickly! I want to see the Prince. ”

"I'm blind, here is the East Palace. It's also a place for you to be presumptuous. The guard was just halfway through speaking, but saw the other party take out a waist card.

At that moment, the guard turned around and shouted: "Quick, immediately open the door to your envoy, 100,000 urgent matters." ”

The person on the horse galloped into the East Palace and saw Li Jiancheng, who was drinking with Feng Li, Wei Ting and other henchmen.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, something is wrong."

"Something, take your time."

"Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan betrayed the prince, and he handed over the secret letter written by Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, to the prince, and falsely accused the prince of eradicating the border generals, seizing military power, secretly storing dead soldiers, secretly hoarding armor and other crimes, with the intention of rebellion!"

"Ahh Li Jiancheng couldn't help but be so surprised that he lost his voice instantly, and the wine glass in his hand also fell, and the wine spilled all over the ground.

Feng Li, Wei Ting and others on the side all stood up and said, "Please take care of the prince." ”

Li Jiancheng collapsed to the ground and said: "Wronged, Lone doesn't mean this at all, this must be someone who designed to wronged Lone." ”

Feng Li stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the matter has been known to His Majesty, and it is useless to say that it is useless to be wronged at the moment, how to make His Majesty believe you." ”

Wei Ting said: "It's difficult, this is obviously someone framing His Royal Highness the Prince, Qiao Gongshan, Er Zhuhuan testifying, and Yang Wengan's handwritten letter, this is human and material evidence." I'm afraid that His Majesty will have a hard time believing the prince. ”

The messenger who reported the news said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the messenger who came from Lishan to announce is about to arrive at the East Palace, and he was ordered by His Majesty to summon the Prince to Lishan to see him." Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must come up with a countermeasure quickly. ”

"Countermeasures, where is there a countermeasure under the lonely moment, Wei Qing, Feng Qing, quickly think of a way to save the orphan!"

Wei Ting groaned and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, there is no way. ”

"Wei Qing, what's the solution?"

Wei Ting said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, at the moment the Son of Heaven is not in Chang'an, it is you who come to the Crown Prince to supervise the country, and both inside and outside Chang'an will listen to your orders, you can order the four gates to be blocked, and the envoy from Lishan will be detained first." Ease it out. Then find a few ministers, the clan will go to Lishan to intercede for you, and on the other hand, find out who framed you and prove your innocence. ”

Li Jiancheng listened to Wei Ting's words, and was immediately moved, and immediately cried bitterly and said: "Wei Qing's words are really a high strategy, and he lives up to the trust that Gu usually trusts you." ”

Wei Ting listened and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, at this time, if Weichen does not help the prince, who else will help." ”

No one noticed that a cold light appeared in the corner of Wei Ting's eyes when he said this.

On Jingshui, Qiao Gongshan listened to the footsteps outside the boat and knew that he was already being closely guarded by Er Zhuhuan and others.

Qiao Gongshan had an attitude of being at ease, he wanted to chat with one of the guards arranged by Yu Zhining, but the other party ignored him. Qiao Gongshan knew that the other party was likely to be secretly executed by Yu Zhining's secret order, so he had already regarded himself as a dead thing now.

The reason why the other party didn't start at the moment was that he wasn't sure whether Li Yuan believed the content of the letter, if he went to confront him, then Qiao Gongshan still had use value, if Li Yuan didn't mean to ask, then he, as an insider, would only be killed.

But then there was a muffled grunt outside the door, and the sound of swords entering flesh. The guard guarding him stood up suddenly, but Qiao Gongshan was not slow to react at all, pulled out a knife from under the bed, and slashed directly at the other party.

The opponent made a backhand sword and blocked his own head split.

Qiao Gongshan is also the leader of the guards of the East Palace, and his martial arts are naturally not bad at all, but under the hand, he can't help but be secretly frightened. The people of this Qin Wangfu are a step above themselves in terms of reaction power, and after a few swords, Qiao Gongshan only has the ability to parry, not the power of backhand.

Seeing that he was immediately defeated, Qiao Gongshan secretly shouted: "My life is over." ”

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open, and several people dressed as boatmen surrounded the people of the Qin Wangfu in the center, and one of them said, "General Qiao is fine!" ”

Qiao Gongshan laughed and said, "I'm fine, it's just that this person is a powerful character, you are worried." ”

"Don't worry, the people outside have been solved."

The people from the Qin Palace's mansion suddenly changed their faces and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing? Even the people of Tiance Mansion dare to kill, don't you have King Qin in your eyes? ”

"King Qin?" The other party sneered and said, "We, the Fengwen Division, killed the people of King Qin." ”

"Zhao Jun's secret spy wind news department?" The other party suddenly showed a look of surprise and anger and shouted, "Qiao Gongshan, you are actually Zhao Jun's meticulous work." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several fine works of the Wind News Division swarmed up, and after a few knives came down, after the master of the Qin Palace's mansion stabbed one more person, he was cut into meat puree.

"Thank you for saving your life." Qiao Gongshan clenched his fists at the moment, and his face was full of gratitude, and he thanked several Fengwen secret spies who saved him. It was rumored that Skem Fei saved himself at such a price, and Qiao Gongshan was also grateful for this kindness.

"Don't thank me, thank Cao."

"Cao Beijiang!" Qiao Gongshan knew that Cao Beijiang, the general of the Wind News Division, was Cao Wen, and the head of the Luoyang Department, one of the six departments under the Wind News Division, was actually Cao Wen who ordered to save himself.

Qiao Gongshan said: "I didn't expect that Cao Beijiang would personally order to save a certain person, could it be that Cao Beijiang is in the gate at the moment?" ”

"Not only in the Kannai, but also on the ship." As he spoke, a man in a cloth robe walked out.

"See General Cao, thank you for saving your life."

Seeing Qiao Gongshan bowing to himself, Cao Wen turned sideways slightly and said: "Don't thank me yet, saving you is just a gesture, and there is a more dangerous thing waiting for you to do at the moment, which is related to the key to the success or failure of our Fengwen Division's operation this time." ”

Qiao Gongshan listened to the moment and said, "Don't show Cao." ”

Cao Wen nodded and said: "That's the case, our Fengwen Division has learned from you and other channels that Li Shimin framed Li Jiancheng this time, if you let it develop now, Li Jiancheng will be speechless, and he will inevitably lose the position of the crown prince, be abolished by Li Yuan, and let Li Shimin inherit the position of the prince." And that's not what we're interested in seeing. ”

"So don't you want things to go?"

Cao Wen said at the moment: "It's very simple, according to the can't let Li Shimin take the throne, we have to sabotage this matter and save Li Jiancheng." If Li Jiancheng survives this time, then the two brothers will have a deeper rift, and Li Tang's infighting will intensify, which will be of great benefit to us. ”

"Then Cao Beijiang, what do you want me to do?"

"Go to the East Palace immediately, tell Li Jiancheng the truth, and let him take you to Li Yuan to confess!"

"What?" Qiao Gongshan's face turned pale suddenly. (To be continued......)
