In a hidden corner of the Renzhi Palace, Feng Deyi looked around uneasily, and said to Qin Shubao: "I only have half an hour, and if it is a long time, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion." ”

"I'll cut it short then." Qin Shubao said quickly: "The king asked you to find a way to confirm the crown prince's crime of rebellion. ”

"This ......" Feng Deyi paused, and then looked embarrassed: "This is a bit difficult, I'm afraid I can't do it." ”

Qin Shubao's face turned cold: "The king said, no matter what method you use, you must be convicted of the prince's rebellion, and your majesty cannot dispel your suspicions about the prince."

"This is an order, not a consultation with you."

Feng Deyi: "......"

Facing Qin Shubao's sharp gaze, Feng Deyi seemed to see Li Shimin, and his back was wet.

Either way, he had to say yes first.

"Yes, I'll definitely find a way." After Feng Deyi agreed, he said eagerly: "I should go back, if the king has any other orders, hurry up." ”

"No, the king only let you do this." Qin Shubao stepped aside and made way for the road: "You go first, I'll stay for a while and then go, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others." ”

Feng Deyi didn't say anything, and left without looking back.

......

In the majestic hall, Qian Jiulong respectfully said to Li Yuan: "After receiving the edict, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the capital with two hundred cavalry and rushed to Renzhi Palace.

"Fifty miles from the Renzhi Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the cavalry to camp on the spot, and then only brought ten people up the mountain, they traveled lightly and simply, without any weapons on them.

"Now, the crown prince is kneeling at the gate of the palace, please show your majesty."

Li Yuan had a calm face: "Bring the prince over, and the others will be locked up." ”

"Yes."

Soon, Li Jiancheng came to Li Yuan's dormitory.

There was no one else in the hall except Li Yuan, Qian Jiulong, and Yue Yu.

As soon as Li Jiancheng walked into the main hall, he knelt down, and walked all the way to Li Yuan, with a remorseful expression: "Father, my son is confused, my son has done a wrong thing, and I ask my father to condemn him." ”

Li Yuan frowned slightly, he blocked the Renzhi Palace, the prince could still receive the news?

Could it be that he has the prince by his side?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's eyes turned a little colder.

Seeing Li Yuan's gloomy face and not speaking, Li Jiancheng was worried, gritted his teeth, and simply admitted his mistake honestly.

The father was angry, and the son gave the armor to Yang Wengan for the sake of his hard work in guarding the city, and the reward for him was also to encourage him to be loyal to his duty and better serve the country.

Although the son has no other meaning, just simply rewarding the meritorious heroes, but the son did not report to his father in advance, it is the son's fault, and the son is willing to accept the punishment.

"I just ask my father not to be angry and break his body, otherwise my son will be responsible for his death."

After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

However, Li Yuan was unmoved and scolded: "Last time you privately dispatched local troops into Beijing, I warned you, but I didn't expect this matter to pass, and you knowingly committed it, which is simply bold."

"If it weren't for selfishness, would you be willing to take risks?"

Selfishness?

What other selfish motives can a prince of a country have? It's nothing more than wanting to inherit the throne as soon as possible.

Li Jiancheng heard the voice of Li Yuan's words, and his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Father, please listen to my explanation......"

At this moment, a letter slammed down on him, and his words came to an abrupt end.

"How dare you quibble? This is a letter you wrote to Yang Wengan, you don't know it, right? ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly picked up the letter on the ground and looked at it, it was the letter he wrote, yes......

Li Yuan's angry voice sounded again: "You told Yang Wengan that 'it will be done', what do you want to do, do you want me to say it for you?" ”

The prince of a country smuggled armor to local generals, and also conspired with them, and anyone could think of what was planned.

What else can you do other than seek power and usurp the throne?

Li Jiancheng also thought of this, and hurriedly explained: "Father, it's not what you think, what my son said to Yang Wengan is to resist the Turks, not ......."

"Shut up." Li Yuan interrupted him with a loud shout, and then ordered: "Lock up the prince and don't allow anyone to visit."

"You don't have to be preferential, just give him a sip of water and a bowl of wheat rice."

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's face was as pale as earth, and he wanted to explain again, but Qian Jiulong had already come to him, blocking his sight: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”

He stood up, took a step to the side, and shouted at Li Yuan, "Father......"

"Drag it out."

Li Yuan's ruthless voice made Li Jiancheng dare not speak again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am offended."

Qian Jiulong took a step forward and was about to make a move, but he was shocked by Li Jiancheng's sharp eyes, and he immediately retracted his hand.

Li Jiancheng retracted his gaze, tidied up the hem of his clothes, maintained the demeanor of a prince, and walked out of the hall with great momentum.

However, when Li Jiancheng was locked in the room and faced with Qing Shui Mai Fan, he could no longer hold the majesty of the prince, and his panic and fear were exposed.

......

After Li Jiancheng left, Ding Zhi hurriedly walked into the palace and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Yang Sima of Princess Jinyang's Mansion wants to ask to see Princess Jinyang, please show your Majesty." ”

Yang Mao?

What is he here for?

Li Yuan ordered, "Bring him here." ”

"Yes." Ding Zhi immediately went to the gate of the palace.

And Daquan soon found Yang Mao standing at the gate of the palace, and he immediately passed the news to Hao Shou, who was guarding under the tree.

Hao Shou immediately rushed to Wang Yu's courtyard, "Princess, Yang Sima is here, and he is at the gate of the palace now." ”

Wang Yu looked out, the sun was about to set, at this time, what was Yang Mao doing in Renzhi Palace?

"Princess, there must be something going on in the house, Wang Changshi and Yang Sima can't be the masters, so they came to Renzhi Palace to find you, why don't you go to the palace gate to have a look?" Chunhua said.

At this time, Sanhe hurriedly walked in: "Princess, Yang Mao was taken away by Commander Ding, and he should have gone to see His Majesty." ”

"I'll take a look." Wang Yu put down the book, got up and walked outside.

As soon as she reached the door, she stopped: "No, I can't go now, or my father will know that I am asking for news." ”

With that, she sat down behind the bookcase.

"Yes, the princess can't go now." Hao Shou said: "However, after Your Majesty summons Yang Sima, he will definitely let Yang Sima come to see the princess."

"The princess doesn't have to be in a hurry, just wait with peace of mind."

Wang Yu looked at him appreciatively: "That's right, that's the reason." ”

So, Wang Yu picked up the book again.

On the other side, after Yang Mao saluted, Li Yuan asked, "What do you want to see Jinyang for?" ”

Yang Mao replied honestly: "Your Majesty, three days ago, Pingnanhou was kidnapped by a group of black-clothed people in Chang'an City, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered King Lujiang and Su Wei to go all out to hunt down the gangsters and rescue Pingnanhou.

"The minister thinks that the princess and Pingnanhou have had a deep relationship since childhood, so I came to report to the princess."

"What?" Li Yuan took the case: "The Jingshi is heavily guarded, how can such a thing happen?" ”

The next moment, he thought that when he saw Li Jiancheng just now, Li Jiancheng did not report the matter to him, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

For fear of his punishment, he concealed it and did not report it? The prince is really getting more and more unpleasant.

Li Yuan glanced at Ding Zhi, and Ding Zhi understood and quietly withdrew from the main hall.

Then, Li Yuan looked at Yang Mao: "You tell me in detail about the abduction of Pingnanhou." ”

"Yes."

Yang Mao began to narrate: "On that day, Pingnanhou went to Xishi with his escort......"
