Li Jiancheng returned to the East Palace after leaving the Taiji Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the main hall, Su Dingfang followed in.

"Your Highness, it's not good......"

Li Jiancheng's heart sank: "What's the bad news?" ”

Since yesterday, he has felt that everything is not going well, which makes him a little upset, if it weren't for Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo and others by his side to advise, he may not be able to calm down.

Su Dingfang said briefly: "There is news from the previous dynasty that His Majesty has handed over the case of the assassination of King Qin to the three divisions for trial, and has also asked the criminal department to investigate Yin Guogong's corruption and other crimes. ”

After listening, Li Jiancheng felt very panicked: "It's over, now that this matter is on the bright side, it is impossible to deal with the aftermath, Shan Xiongxin and Xue Wanche are in the hands of Xun Guogong again, and it is only a matter of time before they confess."

"It's over, I'm going to be done......"

The other subordinate officials of the East Palace panicked when they saw Li Jiancheng, and they also became six gods and no masters, and they didn't know what to do.

Only Wei Zheng was very calm, and he said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, this matter is not a foregone conclusion, don't panic."

"General Shan, they are loyal to you, and I am sure that they will never betray you.

"And until now, Your Majesty has not taken any action against the East Palace, which means that there is no definite evidence to prove that you did this matter......"

Before the words fell, Zhao Hongzhi ran in in a panic, "Your Highness, it's not good, Your Majesty sent someone to close all the palace doors of the East Palace, and no one from the East Palace is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"......" Wei Zheng's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Li Jiancheng was even more panicked, got up and walked out.

He came to the nearest palace gate, and just happened to hear Qian Jiulong's people say to the guards guarding the palace gate:

"Your Majesty has decreed that from now on, all palace doors in the East Palace will be closed, and no one in the East Palace will be allowed to enter or leave."

After saying that, he rudely drove the guards at the door into the East Palace, and then closed the palace door.

The heavy palace door slowly closed, isolating the East Palace from the outside world, and Li Jiancheng suddenly felt that the East Palace at this moment was not like a palace symbolizing power, but a huge cage.

He returned to the temple in despair, and muttered, "Did my father find out......?"

Wei Zheng was still very calm: "Your Highness, you must not panic at this time.

"Even if Your Majesty knew that you did this, he would not kill you, after all, tiger poison does not eat children, you are the crown prince personally taught by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is reluctant.

"And King Qin was seriously injured and has not woken up yet, if King Qin is dead, Your Majesty will not do anything to you."

Hearing these words, Li Jiancheng's flustered heart gradually settled down, among the many princes, only Li Shimin could reluctantly compete with him for the position of prince, once Li Shimin died, even if his father knew that he did it, for the sake of the country, he would not abolish him.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng was no longer flustered, and ordered everyone: "Find a way to inquire about the situation of King Qin." ”

Everyone said yes, go and find a way immediately.

However, someone soon sent news for Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuanji looked at the Praetorian Guards who stopped him in front of him, and reprimanded angrily: "Your Majesty's will is not to allow people from the East Palace to enter and leave, but it doesn't say that others are not allowed to enter the East Palace.

"Even if Your Majesty says that no one else is allowed to enter the East Palace, it doesn't include me."

Li Yuanji rushed forward regardless of it: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way." ”

Seeing that he was violent, the Praetorian Guard's hand holding the hilt of the knife did not dare to move, and hurriedly avoided it.

In this way, Li Yuanji led people to break into the East Palace.

"Go and report to Your Majesty." Captain Liu commanded.

Immediately, a Praetorian Guard went to the Taiji Palace to report the news.

Li Jiancheng was very surprised when he saw Li Yuanji: "How did you get in?" ”

Li Yuanji's face showed disdain: "As for those people under Qian Jiulong, how dare they stop me?" ”

He is the prince of Yan, and his status is second only to the king of Qin, how dare they hurt him? Especially in this situation, it is impossible for my father to let any prince be injured again.

Then, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji exchanged news in their respective hands.

When they heard that all the imperial doctors had pronounced the verdict that Li Shimin would not wake up from now on, Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

What is the difference between being unconscious for a lifetime and being dead?

Li Yuanji didn't miss the joy in Li Jiancheng's eyes, he reminded: "It's too early for the eldest brother to be happy now, although Li Shimin has fallen, but the power of the Qin Wangfu is still there, and they will fight back against us at all costs."

"What's more, my father also handed over the case to the three divisions for trial, which means that now not only the officials know about it, but the people outside also know about it.

"Therefore, in order to stabilize the position of the prince, the eldest brother must first deal with the two living mouths and Shan Xiongxin and others, and he must not leave any handles."

Wei Zheng took the opportunity to propose: "Now that the East Palace is blocked by His Majesty, I'm afraid I have to ask King Qi for help in this matter." ”

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji: "Shiro has always supported me, won't he not help this time?" ”

"How dare you disobey the eldest brother's orders?" Li Yuanji readily agreed.

But then, Li Yuanji's words changed: "However, now that those two living mouths have been handed over to Dali Temple, and Shan Xiongxin and others are still in the hands of Xun Guogong, even if I want to help, I don't have the ability." ”

Li Jiancheng was silent.

Li Yuanji did not urge, looked at him silently, and waited patiently.

After a long time, Li Jiancheng took out a token and handed it to Li Yuanji: "If you need help, take this token and find ......."

After whispering a few names, he continued: "Also, you can go to Li Shixin for help, Shan Xiongxin is his sworn brother, and Li Shixin is deeply respected by His Majesty, he may have a way to save Shan Xiongxin." ”

Zhang Yin said: "However, Li Shiyun is a neutral, he did not support King Qin, nor did he support you, I think, he should not help." ”

"He'll help." Xu Shimo explained: "When Wang Shichong was defeated, the King of Qin wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin, and Li Shichang begged the King of Qin to spare Shan Xiongxin's life, and proposed to exchange life for life, which shows that Li Shichang and Shan Xiongxin have a deep affection.

"Now that Shan Xiongxin is in trouble, Li Shichang will never sit idly by."

Li Yuanji was silent for a moment, as if persuaded by him: "Okay, I'll send someone to contact Li Shiyun." ”

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji in a sincere tone: "In this way, please leave it to Shiro." ”

Li Yuanji replied solemnly: "Eldest brother, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to handle this matter." ”

When leaving the East Palace, Li Yuanji saw the Praetorian Guards who had gone to report the news standing in their place, and the Praetorian Guards did nothing to him.

A hint of success flashed in Li Yuanji's eyes, and he knew that his father would not blame him.

After returning to the Wude Palace, Li Yuanji did not rush to contact Li Jiancheng's people, but instructed the attendant: "Go and get a pen and paper." ”

Zhang Yin asked tentatively: "But the master wants to write a letter to Li Shiyun?" ”

"That's right." Li Yuanji generously admitted: "Before the prince's matter has implicated me, I must send the letter first." ”

Zhang Yin asked again: "Master, do you really want to help the prince and let Li Shiyun save Shan Xiongxin?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanji smiled: "Let Li Shiyun save Shan Xiongxin, this is what must be done, but to help the prince, it is not necessarily."

"Li Shiyun does not support either the crown prince nor the king of Qin, but he can choose me ......"
