Gao Zu didn't speak again, he rested at Concubine Yin De's place for a night, and after returning to the imperial study the next day, he asked the close eunuch Wang De to invite Pei Lian, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu over.

Feng Deyi and Pei Lin both went to Yuhua Mountain with him, although the emperor did not pick on them about the prince, but these two are human spirits, so it is naturally impossible not to know.

Although Xiao Yu didn't go, with his experience, seeing this series of changes and the emperor's face when he returned to Beijing yesterday, he could guess the general situation in his heart, but the emperor didn't make it clear, and they could only pretend to be confused.

After the three courtiers came to the imperial study, Li Yuan first instructed Wang De: "Wang De, you go and make a pot of tea." ”

After Wang De left, Gao Zu stood up and pointed to the coffee table on the side and spoke. "Sit down, I have called you here today because I want to discuss something with you." There were exactly four seats next to the coffee table, and he walked over and sat down on the main seat among them.

"Your Majesty, please speak." The three of them owed to Gao Zu at the same time, and after Gao Zu sat down, they sat down separately.

"About the prince, I don't think you said it on your lips, you probably know it in your hearts, you guessed well, I did receive a letter in Yuhua Mountain, someone accused the prince of colluding with Yang Wengan, trying to force the palace to rebel, what do you think about this?" Gao Zu asked.

"But I don't know who it is? What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say about this? Even if they had predicted it in their hearts, at this time, when they heard the emperor personally provoke it, the three of them were still taken aback, and Uncle Guo carefully glanced at the emperor's face and said.

"The person who reported the news is the prince's side Lang General Er Zhuhuan and the school captain Qiao Gongshan, the prince, naturally denies this." Li Yuan said.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask again, when Your Majesty summoned the prince, what misbehavior did the prince have?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"That's not true, after I received the letter, I immediately sent someone to summon the prince, but the prince didn't say a word, didn't bring a single soldier, and followed the summoner to Yuhua Mountain to see me." Li Yuan said.

"That being the case, the minister thinks that this matter should be cautious, although the whistleblower is the prince's general and lieutenant, but it cannot be ruled out that someone took the opportunity to blame, the prince is the foundation of a country, if there is no accurate evidence, forcing the palace to rebel such a big crime, it is really not appropriate to put it on his head." After Xiao Yu listened, he pondered for a moment before he continued.

"The minister also supports Lord Xiao's statement, after the prince has a gentle and generous temperament, he has always known etiquette, benevolence and filial piety, and the minister does not believe that he will do such a thing." Pei Lin said.

"But Yang Wengan is really reversed, Yang Wengan has always been the prince's right-hand man, this is known to officials in the court, the existing Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan reported first, and Yang Wengan rebelled later, how do you let me believe in the prince's innocence?" Gao Zu frowned.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is really targeted at the prince, it is not surprising, just imagine, the person who dares to design and frame the prince must naturally do a full set of schemes, otherwise, how can the prince be put in it?"

"If the prince really has the intention of rebelling against the palace, His Majesty was far away in Yuhua Mountain at that time, with the prestige of the prince in the court, he only needs to wave his arms and say that someone has taken His Majesty hostage, and if he wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty, he can bring a large team of soldiers and horses to kill Yuhua Mountain, and His Majesty only had 3,000 Lin Wei in his hands at that time......" Pei Lin said again.

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi turned their eyes to him at the same time, good guy, you are suing King Qin to death while exonerating the crown prince, and it was King Qin and King Qi who were accompanying His Majesty at that time.

The King of Qi and the crown prince are on good terms, so naturally they will not do anything unfavorable to the prince, and the King of Qin is so powerful that the prestige of the Tiance Mansion has even been suppressed by the East Palace, plus since last year, the struggle between the King of Qin and the prince has turned to the surface, if someone wants to be unfavorable to the prince, who else can there be besides the King of Qin?

"Feng Qingjia, what do you mean?" Gao Zu glanced at Pei Lin expressionlessly, and turned his gaze to Feng Deyi, who had not spoken.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister's meaning is similar to that of Lord Xiao, although there are people around the prince who denounce him first, and then Yang Wengan of Gyeongju really reversed, but there is no other more accurate evidence, and the minister also thinks that it is not appropriate to convict the prince for this."

"After all, since the establishment of the East Palace, the East Palace has acted in a disciplined manner, and has not done anything illegal." Feng Deyi pondered for a moment before carefully connecting.

"Okay, I know about it, you go down." After hearing this, Gao Zu was silent for a long time before waving his hand to let them retreat.

"Lord Feng's words are at a good level, you can't offend both." Coming out of the imperial study, on the way out of the palace, Pei looked at Feng Deyi and said a word.

"Master Pei laughed, what I mean is not much different from Lord Pei." Feng Deyi arched his hand at him, and said with a smile, Xiao Yu glanced at the two of them, shook his head, took a step, and walked in front of them.

"Wang De, do you say that these three people are all on the side of the prince, or have you guessed my heart and given me a step?" Don't talk about the hearts of Pei, Feng, and Xiao, but talk about Gaozu, after the three of them left, he sat alone for a long time, and then asked Wang De, who was standing behind him like a stake.

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't understand these family and country affairs, but she knows one thing, these three adults are all based on Your Majesty in their hearts." Wang De was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then cautiously said.

"That's it, since I have made up my mind, why should I suspect them again, they defend the prince so much, to put it bluntly, they are still worried about King Qin, and at the same time they have figured out my mind."

"King Qin, the power of his Tiance Mansion is indeed too great." Gao Zu retracted his gaze and said to himself.

Wang De's heart tightened when he heard this, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, lowered his head, looked at his nose and eyes, and looked at his toes.

"Wang De, you said that I lost so much temper when I was in Yuhua Mountain, and I told the prince in front of King Qin about the prince's attempt to rebel, and asked him to go to Gyeongju to suppress Yang Wengan, but when he came back from the rebellion, he found that I acquitted the prince......"

"What are you doing standing so far away? Come here. Gao Zu muttered a few words to himself, and then opened his mouth again, but when he turned around, he found Wang De standing far away from him, and he couldn't help but wave at him speechlessly.

Wang De could only walk in front of Gao Zu, but he didn't say a word, Gao Zu raised his eyebrows: "What about you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave is not a courtier, and I really don't know much about these things, but although King Qin has a lot of military achievements, although his temper is more impatient than that of the prince, he has never disobeyed His Majesty, no matter what Your Majesty does, he must be able to understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts." Wang De was stared at by Gao Zu like this, so he could only answer with a bitter face.
