Chapter 721: The Prince's Conspiracy

Hearing Feng Deyi's last words, Fang Xuanling retorted: "Impossible, Du Ruhui will never betray the king." ”

"There are no absolutes in the world, not to mention that they are uncles and nephews, and they live in the same mansion, they are a family, Du Ruhui must know about it."

Feng Deyi continued to analyze: "Du Ruhui knew about this, but he didn't show anything in front of you, and he didn't tell the king, which means that he was shaken.

"Don't forget, Du Yan followed Wang Shi as a prestige and killed Du Ruhui's brother, but when the king wanted to kill Du Yan, Du Ruhui didn't care about family affection and begged the king to forgive Du Yan?

"The relationship between their uncle and nephew is not unusually close, and what the uncle does, the nephew will of course follow.

"Don't be careless, it's better to persuade the king to guard against them, otherwise it will be too late to cause a catastrophe."

Fang Xuanling was silent, and after a moment, he suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell the king about this matter yourself?" ”

Feng Deyi replied naturally: "Du Yan wants to take refuge in the East Palace, I have evidence, but I don't have any evidence that Du Ruhui wants to take refuge in the East Palace, I'm afraid that I will tell the king, and the king doesn't believe it."

"You are close to Du Ruhui, just take this opportunity to check it out."

After Fang Xuanling hesitated, he said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to this matter." ”

After finishing business, the two chatted for a while, and then left separately.

Feng Deyi did not return to the house, but went to see Li Jiancheng: "Back to Your Highness, the minister revealed the news to Fang Xuanling according to your instructions. ”

"Good, well done." Li Jiancheng was very satisfied, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Feng Deyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the minister has something unclear. ”

Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, and his tone was also very gentle: "What are your doubts?" ”

"Du Yan wants to take refuge in you, why did you still ask me to disclose this news to Fang Xuanling?" Feng Deyi expressed the doubts in his heart: "Wouldn't it be better to let Du Yan be the secret stake of the East Palace while they don't know?" ”

In this way, the East Palace will be able to obtain more news from the King of Qin and will be able to take the initiative.

Li Jiancheng smiled: "At the beginning, I sent someone to win over the people around King Qin, but Du Yan's position was too low, so I didn't consider him." Now he has the heart to come to me, and although I am willing to accept him, I do not trust him.

"Although he was born in the Jingzhao Du clan and is a well-known scholar clan in Guanzhong, there is no shortage of such people in the East Palace.

"If he can be used to get rid of Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, so that the Jingzhao Du clan no longer supports King Qin, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death."

Feng Deyi was silent.

Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a folk proverb called Jingzhao Weishi and Jingzhao Du Shi as "Chengnan Weidu, go to Tianqi Five". Especially after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jingzhao Wei gradually became the head of the surname of Guanzhong County.

Today, the crown prince has the support of the Jingzhao Wei clan, and the king of Qin has the support of the Jingzhao Du clan.

If the crown prince weakened the power of the Jingzhao Du clan and successfully stirred up the relationship between the King of Qin and the Jingzhao Du clan, then whether the Jingzhao Du clan supported the East Palace or not became less important.

Thinking of this, Feng Deyi didn't ask any more.

......

Fang Xuanling went back to the house and thought about it, and still went to the Qin Palace.

"King, Fang joins the army and asks to see you."

Li Shimin was checking Li Chengqian's schoolwork when the guards suddenly came to report.

Fang Xuanling? What is he doing at this time?

Li Shimin felt a little unusual, so he said to Li Chengqian: "If you complete all your schoolwork today, I will take you to the palace tomorrow." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Li Chengqian was very excited, picked up the pen and began to do his homework.

His father and mother often detained him to study in the house, or he would go to the literature museum to take classes, and this was the first time he could remember attending the Shangsi Festival banquet, and he must go.

Li Shimin looked at his son who was extremely excited, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

After looking at it twice, Li Shimin walked out of the room and said to the guards: "Let Fang join the army and come to my study." ”

Not long after he arrived in the study, Fang Xuanling came.

"I've seen the king."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Uh...... That is true. Fang Xuanling said slowly: "Feng Shangshu told me that Du Yan asked someone from the East Palace for help, and wanted to change to an official position higher than the record through the ministry.

"Feng Shangshu suspects that Du Ruhui also has the idea of taking refuge in the East Palace, so let me pay more attention."

Li Shimin's face suddenly became ugly: "Their uncle and nephew really took refuge in the East Palace?" ”

"There is no empirical evidence whether he has taken refuge, but Du Yan has this idea, however, I think that Du Ruhui definitely does not know Du Yan's thoughts, and I believe that he will never betray you."

Li Shimin was silent.

Fang Xuanling saw that he was silent, so he spoke for Du Ruhui: "King, for so many years, Du Ruhui and I have followed you to fight in the north and south, you should know very well what we are."

"I assure you, Du Ruhui will never betray you."

"Then why is Feng Shangshu suspicious of him?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, and then replied: "Because of Du Yan's actions, and Du Yan is Du Ruhui's uncle, Feng Shangshu suspects that Du Ruhui is normal.

"However, I think Feng Shangshu is unfounded, and Du Ruhui must have no problem."

Fang Xuanling repeatedly emphasized that Du Ruhui would not betray him, and out of his understanding and trust in Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin dispelled his suspicions about Du Ruhui.

"I believe in your vision, but Du Yan has the heart to take refuge in the East Palace, and this person can't stay." Li Shimin's eyes were fierce, and his murderous aura was fully displayed.

"The king is angry, and hearken to me."

Li Shimin was murderous and looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Great King, Du Yan has the intention of going because he has not been promoted for a long time in the Qin Palace, if you are promoted to his official position, he will definitely not go to the East Palace......"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was furious: "He wants to betray me, and you still let me be promoted to his official?" No way.

"People who are dissatisfied so easily, and who have a heart of betrayal, it is too dangerous to stay in the Qin Palace."

"Listen to me, my lord." Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak again, Fang Xuanling continued: "Although Du Yan was at odds with Du Ruhui in the past, he was Du Ruhui's uncle after all, not to mention, he was still a member of the Jingzhao Du family.

"I don't need to say how important Jingzhao Du's support is to you, and saying that Du Ruhui can still beg you to spare Du Yan after his brother was killed by Du Yan and live under the same roof with him, it shows that Du Ruhui is a person who values family affection.

"It's not just Du Ruhui, the people of the Jingzhao Du clan all value filial piety and family affection, if you kill Du Yan or drive him out of the Qin Palace, it will only worsen the relationship between you and the Jingzhao Du clan.

"For the sake of the overall situation, you should promote Du Yan and keep him in the Qin Palace, so that the East Palace will not have a chance."

Li Shimin hesitated: "But keeping such a villain by my side, I am always uneasy in my heart." ”

Although he can send someone to keep an eye on him all the time, there will always be accidents.

Fang Xuanling patiently persuaded: "If the king believes me, listen to me once, I guarantee that after Du Yan is promoted, he will not think of going to the East Palace......"
