I don't know when it started, rumors spread again in Xindu City, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Concubine Zhang, the concubine of Li Yuan, had an adulterous affair, and at this time in Xindu, they were preparing for the birthday ceremony of the Empress Dou, many people knew that Li Yuan might have ordered Zen to give way to the throne that day, and suddenly, such a thing came out in Xindu City, giving people a feeling of coming storm.

"Abominable, shameless." Li Yuan didn't know what his anger was like in the main hall, and above the main hall, there was a mess, Pei Lin and other ministers stood there and didn't dare to move, and their faces also showed anger.

The previous rumor that Li Jiancheng may be considered to be a blow to the enemy, but the rumor Li Yuanji is shameless and has no lower limit, because in the eyes of everyone, Li Yuanji has no value, and the position of the crown prince has nothing to do with the fight between the two countries, at most, it is just to discredit Li Yuan and Li Zhao, and this kind of thing looks a bit shameless. No wonder Li Yuan and the ministers are like this.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin is already known for his treacherous and shamelessness, last time there were rumors slandering His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time slandering the King of Qi, which shows that this person has no great ability, Your Majesty does not have to worry." Li Shentong is a general of the clan, and he is the only one who has come forward to speak at this time.

"I'm also his father-in-law, so what's the benefit of him as a son-in-law?" Li Yuan gasped and snorted coldly, "Where did the rumors come from, Samurai Tong, have you found out?" ”

"Plains. Rumors came from the plains, and the leader had been caught by us, but they were quickly silenced. Wu Shi Tong hurriedly said: "For the time being, we are not sure that Li Xin sent a rumor. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Yuan was stunned and said in surprise.

"This, the minister is willing to say in private." Samurai said a little nervously.

"Humph!" After Li Yuan heard this, his face tightened, and he snorted coldly, beckoned the warrior Tong, and motioned for the warrior to come to the throne. The samurai was stunned for a moment, but finally walked up. He said a few words beside Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's face was calm, and he finally waved his hand. I was thinking about sitting down, but I suddenly felt my head dizzy, my body swayed, and finally I finally fell down, and I only heard a burst of panicked shouts in my ears, Li Yuan wanted to stop it, but he couldn't make any sound.

When he came to his senses, he found Pei Lin and others standing in front of him, so he immediately sighed and closed his eyes tightly. He felt that his strength had been exhausted at this time.

"Your Majesty. Things haven't been found out yet, so don't worry. Although Pei Lin didn't know what the warrior said, he still stepped forward and said with relief.

"What a rebel!" Li Yuan sighed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to summon the prince, the king of Qin and the king of Qi to confront him. There is something that everyone has made clear to everyone's face. lest you fall for Li Xin's tricks! When Pei Lin heard this, he immediately knew that this matter was related to several princes, and hurriedly reminded: "I think Li Xin already knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, and the prince is hopeful, I'm afraid this is also something that Li Xin doesn't want to see, so people will spread rumors." King Qi didn't want this case to go on and killed the witnesses, which was also reasonable. ”

Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes lit up. said to Pei Qing: "What Pei Qing said is very true, I think so, but I still have to confront him." Spread the message to the crown prince, the king of Qin and the king of Qi, let them now, no. Come see me early tomorrow morning. It's been a long time since we, father and son, have spoken together. ”

"Obey." Pei Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, no matter what this matter is, the best result is to pretend that he doesn't know anything and pile all the sins on Li Xin. So hello, I'm good, everyone's good.

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were arguing in the main hall, Li Jiancheng pointed at Li Yuanji and scolded: "You stupid thing, you actually went to shoot those witnesses, don't you know that those are the people found by Zhao Feng?" It is used to prove that the rumors came from Li Tang, you are good, you actually killed them, and if you kill them, you will be killed, but you still leave your tail, saying that you are stupid, you are really stupid. ”

"Big brother, that's not a rumor spread by Li Xin, it's Li Shimin, it's definitely Li Shimin." Li Yuanji's face was hideous, and he said loudly: "This is a conspiracy, if those people are interrogated, they will definitely say it." ”

"You, you're really?" After Li Jiancheng heard this, his mouth opened, and he pointed at Li Yuanji with a dull gaze and said, he is also an old man in the officialdom, and from Li Yuanji's words, he heard a trace of strangeness, and immediately pointed at Li Yuanji and didn't know what to do.

Li Yuanji also knew that he was speechless, found a place to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, do you think I want to, I was harmed by Li Shimin, I drank wine that night, and there were things in the wine, when I went out, I wanted to find a palace maid, but I didn't expect to be led to the place where Concubine Zhang bathed." That's why I did such a ridiculous thing. ”

"You, you, what are you going to tell me about you?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji's appearance, he really didn't know what to say, he didn't expect to kill someone and not say it, and more importantly, it was really true, no wonder Li Yuanji would kill those rumor-mongering witnesses, the root is actually here.

"Only Li Shimin knows about this matter, so I suspect that this rumor was made up by Li Shimin. Big brother, Li Shimin is definitely a white-eyed wolf, he looks very honest during this time, he doesn't come out of his mansion, and he is extremely deferent to you, but his heart to seize the crown prince has never changed, big brother, this person must not stay. Li Yuanji said gloomily.

"If it's really Li Shimin, then the matter will be a big deal, and he will definitely not be his King of Qin with peace of mind." Li Jiancheng didn't think about Li Yuanji's bad things at this time, he was concerned about his position as the prince, if Li Shimin really fancied his position as the prince, what should he do?

"Big brother, what are you hesitating about at this time? People have already started to attack you, aren't you in a hurry at all? Li Yuanji himself said a little nervously. After all, what he did was so rebellious, if Li Yuan knew, I am afraid it would be his own death. Hurry up and urge Li Jiancheng at the moment, as long as Li Jiancheng kills Li Shimin and sits on the throne, he will have nothing to do with himself.

"What are you afraid of, how many people are there in Xindu, there are only more than 100 guards around him, Hou Junji is just a general, although the 1,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry outside the city is powerful, but outside the city, what are you afraid of?" Li Jiancheng quickly found a way and said: "If my father asks, this matter is done on my orders, and my father will not blame him, Li Xin tried to separate the father and son, and simply killed those who spread rumors." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has issued an order for you and King Qi to go to the imperial study tomorrow." At this time, Wang Jue's voice came from outside.

"It's not good, big brother, my father found out, how is this good?" After hearing this, Li Yuanji suddenly jumped up and couldn't help but say loudly.

"Everything has been done, now I know that I am scared, remember, and do what I say." Li Jiancheng glared at Li Yuanji and said, "You go back to sleep now, come to see me tomorrow, and follow me to the imperial study." Hey, so far, I can only put all the fault on Li Xin's side, anyway, it's the enemy, and it doesn't matter if I think about it. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all pushed to Li Xin's side, but the hateful one is Li Shimin." Li Yuanji's eyes were fierce, and he was sure that this matter was definitely made up by Li Shimin.

"What King Qin needs is chaos, he needs our faith to be chaotic, so he has a chance, as long as we don't mess up, he won't have a chance." Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed gloomily, originally thinking about the two brothers and their profits, but now it seems that this is impossible, in the face of the crown prince, Li Shimin and himself no longer have brotherhood, even this kind of indiscriminate method has been used, then there is no need for him to pretend to have any brotherly love with Li Shimin.

And at this moment, Li Shimin, who was in the Qin Palace, also received the news, but he received more information, knowing when Li Yuan fainted, when he was awake, and what he said, he knew it clearly.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty doesn't want to mess up at this time, but just wants to blame Li Xin for this matter, just like last time, it was Li Xin who spread rumors." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"There are rumors in front of me, but this time it is true, my father is really confused, some things can't be taken seriously, some things must be taken seriously, my Da Zhao has such a dirty thing, if you don't deal with it, how can you rule the world?" Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Your Highness, tomorrow?" Yu Zhining asked.

"Don't worry, wait for the news from the prince's side, and soon there will be news from the prince's side." Li Shimin said very calmly: "Although we are all ready, but there are still fewer soldiers and horses, the Xindu Palace is built in comparison with the Chang'an Palace, there are too many city gates, and our soldiers and horses can only gather in one place." If he doesn't leave this place, then we can only leave Xindu quickly and go back to Taiyuan. ”

"Your Highness, there is news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, tomorrow morning, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi will attack together." The voice of the eldest grandson Wuyi came from outside.

Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Wang Jue is good, and he is worthy of the king's care for the Wang family." With this news, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight. Is Chang He's ready? ”

"It's ready, and his family has been sent to the camp outside the city." Yu Zhining hurriedly said.

"The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky. Let's see what the heavens do to me Li Shimin tomorrow. Li Shimin stroked the sword next to him, his face was ruddy, he was going to do a big thing, he didn't make up his mind before, but now he was finally going to do it, Li Shimin found that he didn't have any uneasiness in his heart, but there was still a trace of excitement.

"Was I born to do such a thing?" Li Shimin was curious for a while, and finally quickly affirmed it, and secretly thought to himself: "I am a natural king." (To be continued.) )
