Seeing this, Li Peiyan took a deep look at the slightly open vermilion gate, and then brushed his sleeves and left. One Stroke Pavilion More Good

On the carriage, Li Peiyan frowned, and carefully thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The news that Mr. Four had leveled Taoshan was transmitted back to the capital, and then the Tang Emperor announced the world and wanted to gather all the countries in the world to go to Taoqiu to discuss the verdict of Xiling's guilt.

When the news arrived, the countries agreed. The countries began to gather their armies and went to Xiling Taoqiu.

Yesterday, the envoys of various countries came to the capital, and the prince personally received him and conveyed his wishes.

These things are very smooth, and they are also very bland, and there is no trace of cattiness.

But immediately afterwards, the prince, who was supposed to accompany the Tang Emperor to Taoqiu, was left in the capital by the Tang Emperor.

Then, the Tang Emperor unexpectedly only took away the third prince Li Huiyuan, as well as more than a thousand soldiers.

According to common sense, the emperor and the prince cannot leave the capital at the same time, the Tang Emperor is obviously aware of this law, but why should he knowingly commit it?

Xu Chongshan's strange disappearance, is it the back hand that the imperial brother has already left? What was his intention?

Prince Li Peiyan rubbed his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Could it be that the imperial brother is not at ease with himself, so he abandons himself? But since he is not at ease with himself, he will not give the will to temporarily supervise the country.

Since it is not because of himself, it is very likely that it is because of the third prince Li Huiyuan.

As an uncle, Li Peiyan knows Li Huiyuan's temperament, this person is narrow-minded, unreasonable, and has no possibility of being an emperor.

Since he is clear, he must be even more clear.

So why did the imperial brother take Li Huiyuan to Taoshan?

Didn't he know that this move would leave a message in the hearts of many ministers that the three princes were about to inherit the unification?

Back in the palace, Li Peiyan entered the study, and after meditating, he decided to recruit the staff in the palace.

"Ji Lao, is there any news about Hunyuan in the house recently?"

In front of Li Peiyan, there was an old man with white eyebrows, the old man's eyebrows were lowered, and he bowed down and said, "Back to the prince, there is no news of the third prince recently." ”

Li Peiyan frowned, waved his hand, and the old man bowed and retreated.

The slightly stumbling step was about to step out of the door of the study, and then gently retreated.

"Lord Wang, a few days ago, there was new progress in the matter of Qinghe County."

Li Peiyan raised his eyebrows and said impatiently: "Ji Lao has something to say, this king still has important matters." ”

The old man hesitated for a few moments, and then said softly: "According to the news from the spies in the army, the order of Cui Yi, the commander of Qinghe County, was issued by General Hua Shanyue, the princess's bodyguard. ”

"Huashanyue?"

Li Peiyan seemed a little surprised and muttered. The old man nodded, his slightly narrowed eyes flashing with a gleam.

"The old man thinks that Huashan Yuegui is a third-grade military general, and although he is transferred to a six-rank captain, although it seems reasonable, it is actually completely illogical."

Li Peiyan nodded and motioned for the old man to continue.

"Although there is the possibility of showing off favors, the favor of the director and the second grade of the military department should not be Huashanyue."

"What does Ji Lao mean is that although this order was issued by Hua Shanyue, it is actually the meaning of the princess?"

The white-eyed old man shook his head and said softly: "The old man thinks that this matter is not the princess's doing. First of all, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be able to meddle in the affairs of the country without the permission of Her Majesty. Even if the order is given, according to the temperament of those officials in the military department, they will not do what they say. ”

"Secondly, the princess has no grudge with Cui Yi of the Cui family of Qinghe County, and she has no benefit from demoting his position."

"Well, what Ji Lao said is extremely true. How can a mere six-rank lieutenant make the princess of a country so attentive? ”

"However, since it is not the intention of Her Royal Highness the Princess, then there is only one person who can instruct Hua Shanyue and make the military department directors and officials sell favors."

Li Peiyan was clear, but after thinking about it carefully, he asked again: "What does he mean by doing this?" A mere Cui family can't become a climate at all, and since you take a risk, there should always be some reward. ”

"Lord Wang, although the Cui family is a small family, there is an old lady Cui behind the Cui family, and Cui Jin has always been blown by the wind on both sides. When the master and the fourth gentleman ascended to heaven, he was ordered by the head of Xiling to return to Taoshan to report on his work. ”

"You mean, he wants to use the Cui family to climb to Xiling? This Li Huiyuan, in the face of Su Ri's happy life, actually hides such a deep thought? ”

After saying this, Li Peiyan suddenly raised his eyebrows, his face was ruddy, and he slapped the table.

"In order to get a high position, you dare to collude with foreigners!"

The old man bowed, shook his head slightly, and then whispered again: "Since the old man was rewarded by the spies, he has made all preparations. According to the results of the old decay investigation, the third prince had been imprisoned a few months ago! ”

Li Peiyan calmed down his emotions and had a gloomy face, thinking of the Chongming prince who was trapped in the prison by the Tang Emperor!

"Chongming? Li Huiyuan, you idiot, in order to win the big position, you actually listened to the enemy's demagoguery! Poor fisherman is still rejoicing that you are about to come out, but I didn't expect you to kill yourself! ”

The old man was silent, and seeing that the prince was no longer venting his anger, he continued: "According to the news from his subordinates, the third prince once went to Washington, and soon after, some people in Washington mysteriously disappeared. ”

"I think the third prince also knows that Hua Shanyue will not obey him, so he uses his family as a threat."

"Huashanyue? Although this man did not have much loyalty, he was also a proud person. He knows very well what Hunyuan's future holds, and he always dislikes Hunyuan. ”

Li Peiyan paced in the study, thinking about what to do next.

Seeing this, the old man thought for a moment, and then spoke again: "Since Emperor Tang has taken away the three princes and Hua Shanyue, he must have made all the preparations. The prince doesn't have to worry, just wait for a few days. ”

Hearing this, Li Peiyan suddenly thought of the previous Xu Mansion and his party, and he also knew that Xu Chongshan's disappearance was deliberately done by the imperial brother.

"Well, Ji Lao is hard. This matter was done very well, and it relieved a lot of sorrow for this king. ”

The old man's face was calm, and after speaking politely, he continued: "Recently, the old man also learned some news from the academy. It's just that time is in a hurry, and the old decay has not had time to distinguish the authenticity, and it is impossible to investigate downward. ”

"Academy?"

Hearing the word academy, Li Peiyan's brows furrowed again, thinking about Tang Ning, who appeared in the palace a few days ago, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with the academy?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and whispered, "It's not an anomaly. The old man learned that Mr. Fifteen of the Academy had left the academy a few days ago and left the capital to the north. ”

"Ning Que? What did he go to the north for? ”

"The old decay has not yet been ascertained, but from the previous murder cases in the capital, an important piece of information can be obtained."

"Whether it is the imperial history Zhang Yiqi, or the blacksmith shop in Dongcheng, or the small building near the lake, there is a figure of Mr. Fifteen. Although the official in charge of this matter in the DPRK and China had speculations, he had no choice but to do things very neatly and did not leave any direct or indirect evidence. ”

"Now that Ning Que has become a second-story disciple, the murder case can only hang there."

looked at the prince who was pacing, slowly stopped, and turned around with a solemn face.

"You mean, he's the old man of General Lin's mansion?"

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes flashed, and he added: "In the opinion of the old man, Ning Que should be a survivor of the incident in General Lin's Mansion. And he found some clues back then, and he should have gone to the north to go to Xiahou. ”

Li Peiyan sighed and sat on the chair as if he had lost his mind.

"This king is above board, even if he competed with the royal brother for the supreme position back then, he has never been a black hand. Only that thing is a mountain buried deep in the heart of this king. ”

"Lord Wang, in fact, in the eyes of the old man, you are not at fault. The murderer was Xiahou, the general of Zhenbei, and the main messenger behind the scenes was Wei Guangming, the great god of Xiling, and your only fault was to follow His Majesty's wishes and close the case. ”

"Ridiculous! Comical! Hundreds of lives were unjustly killed in the capital, and this is all the responsibility of this king. Whatever the reason, negligence is negligence! ”

The old man was silent, bowed and bowed.

As the old man said, the Tang Dynasty was weak back then, and although there was a academy behind him, it still couldn't resist Xiling.

When Wei Guangming forced Xiahou to kill, even if the Tang Emperor was angry, he could only choose one of the two cases of Tang Anning and Zhaoxue.

When the Tang Emperor hesitated, Li Peiyan made this matter an iron case and helped the Tang Emperor to solve this heart disease.

It was also because of this that a huge general's mansion collapsed after being charged with trumped-up charges.

All this should have ended here, but no one expected that there were still living people in the former General's Mansion.

This person unfortunately became a disciple on the second floor of the academy, and also became a calligrapher in the eyes of the Tang Emperor.

This person is Ning Que, now that he has achieved success in cultivation, and he has the aura of the academy, he can choose to overturn the case.

But he also knew that the iron case had been completed, and if the case was overturned, it would definitely damage the majesty of the royal family. Therefore, he had to choose another path to end this.

As for whether His Royal Highness is worried about his own safety, it is naturally false to say that he is not worried, and it may not be true to say that he is worried.

As long as the case is not overturned, no matter how bold Ning Quezong is, it is impossible to assassinate the royal family.

…………

A few days later, when Emperor Tang and the others left the Tang Realm, Li Huiyuan could no longer follow the desire in his patience.

In the dark night, Li Huiyuan quietly found someone to send a letter to Hua Shanyue. Then, away from the camp under the starlight, he waited quietly.

Not long after, there was a sound of armor rubbing behind Li Huiyuan, Li Huiyuan turned around, and in the dim starlight, he tried to open his eyes and see Hua Shanyue's face clearly.

"Huashanyue, tomorrow will enter the border of the Great River, this day of sitting on a horse and hurrying every day, this prince has had enough. Find a sparsely populated place tomorrow and solve the problem, right? ”

Hua Shanyue had a gloomy face, looking at the disgusting prince in front of him, and wanted to draw his knife to kill him. But as soon as the thought arose, the figure of the mother in the family came to his mind, and the hand holding the knife finally let go.

"Third Prince, are you sure you want to do this evil thing?"

"What? Are you scared? You can be afraid but you can't run away, as long as you run away, your mother will definitely ......"

When Hua Shanyue heard this, his face was cloudy, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you are the prince, as long as the position of the crown prince is undecided, you will have a chance to win the unification, why bother to take the risk?" ”

Under the starlight, Li Huiyuan suddenly became angry, rushed forward, and kicked Hua Shanyue in the chest.

It's a pity that as a prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, he can't be shocked by this kick.

Hua Shanyue was still standing firmly in place, but Li Huiyuan retreated under his feet and fell to the ground in a stagger.

Hua Shanyue frowned, but suddenly heard Li Huiyuan shouting angrily in a low voice.

"You know what! As long as that slut is alive, as long as that slut's child is still alive, it is impossible for this prince to inherit the crown prince! ”

"That slut and that little slut have always stayed in the palace, and this prince can't help it. Now that my father is out of the palace, there is no one available around him, such a God-given opportunity, if this prince has mercy, he can only watch that little ascend to the big treasure! ”

"As his elder brother, I am ranked by seniority, and that position should be mine. Since my father is biased, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Looking at the three princes who looked like crazy, Hua Shanyue sighed and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Hunyuan, you are a prince, you should understand that the throne is inherited in an orderly manner. Even if you don't have the throne, you are still a prince, why don't you and Yu'er forget about this matter? You know, once you take this step, there's no going back. ”

"If you succeed, it's good, if you fail, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

When Li Huiyuan heard this, he stepped forward and slapped Hua Shanyue in the face.

The latter clenched his teeth, but he didn't dare to dodge, so he had to look angrily at the damned man with those wide eyes.

"Who gave your dog the courage to call this prince and the royal sister by their names? Hua Shanyue, look at yourself, you have the imperial sister to take care of you, and you have the ancestral shade, and now you are just a three-grade leader with a knife! ”

"You are such a failure, you still want to eat that swan meat, it is really shameless!"

Several slaps were slapped on his face in a row, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of Hua Shanyue's mouth.

The physical pain, Hua Shanyue did not feel too much. But Li Huiyuan's words were like a bright knife, moving back and forth in his heart.

Since even Li Huiyuan, a fool, has such an opinion, she is even more so when she is smart and noble.

As her admirer, over the years, there has never been any resistance to her commands.

Willingly instructed by Li Yu for all these years, Hua Shanyue has never regretted it, but today he regrets it!

He regrets that he shouldn't be lucky, that he shouldn't be delusional, that he shouldn't be obsessed with her!

It's just that time has passed, and now it's too late to regret it!

"Hua Shanyue, let me tell you, as long as you, the pug, don't pull the hind legs, this prince will definitely succeed! If this prince ascends to the great treasure, he may remember that you have meritorious service from the dragon, and he will marry the imperial sister to you. ”

Hua Shanyue was speechless, and looked at the third prince who raised his head and walked away with confidence.

Shaking his head slightly, he looked at the flickering starlight in the sky, thinking about the appearance of his mother at home, and thinking of the peerless appearance of Princess Li Yu, he could only turn around and return to the camp with a wry smile.

Just as the two were leaving, behind the small dirt bag not far away, two figures were watching the backs of the two leaving.

Under the starlight, the armor of one of them was emitting a faint light.

The other person pursed his lips slightly, held a cold blade sword in his arms, and shook his head gently.

"Commander Xu, can you make proper arrangements in the territory of the Great River tomorrow?"

Xu Chongshan smiled slightly, glanced at the camp illuminated by the dim firelight, and said lightly: "Don't worry, from the day he left the capital, the general would have hurried overnight, and had already mobilized the Zhennan army on the border of the Southern Jin Dynasty to go south." ”

Looking at the obscured starlight, Chao Xiaoshu shook his head and smiled: "Tomorrow, it must not be a good weather." ”。

ps: It may be updated like this in the near future, and it will last until the end of Qingming. One update a day, 4,000 word chapters.

After Qingming, Lao Xun tried his best to make up for it.
