Capital Chapter 18: Friendship Volume: Stratagem (Finale)

(Timeline back, after taking away the love poem)

After Li Mingyuan saw that the love poem was stolen by eyeliner, he immediately sent a letter to the crown prince Li Minghao, wanting to discuss the next matter with the prince, and made an appointment to meet tonight to discuss in detail.

Late at night, when everyone in the house was resting, Li Mingyuan went out in disguise to see the prince.

"Prince, Taishi Liang should already know about the broken sleeve, and the emperor will summon me in a few days."

"Have you ever thought about what to do next?" Li Minghao asked.

Li Mingyuan stroked his forehead and said, "Prince, have you inquired about that person's details?" ”

"That person's name is Xiao Jiangzi, he has been working by the queen's side, and he was only transferred out of the palace recently, so he should be the eyeliner that Taishi Liang placed next to you." Li Minghao said.

"Oh...... Now I have arranged the rest of the things, which is the eyeliner around the prince. Li Mingyuan paused, "Lin Qingran said that the person was wearing a cyan literati robe, maybe it was the Qin Dynasty literati...... In addition, there is another person, who should be the attendant of the prince's side, and we must draw out this person. He said as he thought.

"What is the brother's plan?"

"I want to use Zhu Chengming to lure this person out."

"Zhu Chengming?"

"Yes."

"If the emperor summons me to the palace, I will definitely take Zhu Chengming with me, but I can't take it to the main hall. Let's ask the prince first to give him a place for the time being. Li Mingyuan said.

"Take him with you? Going to the palace? Let him wait? Li Minghao was a little puzzled.

"En......" Li Mingyuan told the prince in detail about the specific plan.

"......I see," Li Minghao said after understanding the overall plan: "Then when the time comes, I will send someone to take him to the Wenhua Hall first, and I will study there on weekdays." ”

When Li Mingyuan heard this, he said: "Okay, then take it to Wenhua Hall first, prince, you must spread the news, saying that this person was brought by me, so that the eyeliner in the prince's mansion will be reported to Taishi Liang." ”

"Oh......" Li Minghao seemed to understand a little: "Let the eyeliner inform Taishi Liang, and then we will send someone to spy on it, and we will know who it is, brother." ”

Li Mingyuan looked at the prince, it turned out that the prince was also a person who understood, "Exactly!" However, the candidates for this covert surveillance still need to find some reliable people. ”

"It's natural, but it's like that...... Zhu Chengming was targeted by Taishi Liang because of this, so isn't the brother afraid that he will change his mind? Li Minghao knows that this Zhu Chengming is a scoundrel, and a person like him will definitely change his mind when he is threatened.

Li Mingyuan frowned tightly and pondered for a moment, "I can't care about so much now, when he goes to the main hall, I will find a way to let him tell the truth." If he, Zhu Chengming, dares to deceive, it will be the crime of deceiving the king, forgive him for not having the guts. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for people immediately."

(Another incident)

Originally, Li Mingyuan told Zhu Chengming to clarify two days later, in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake.

Who knew that Zhu Chengming found someone to clarify the matter the next day, which made many people have questions, including Liu Xiangzhi, a friend next to the prince!

Why did Zhu Chengming suddenly clarify? Could it be that he has seen Li Mingyuan? Liu Xiangzhi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate.

However, after inquiring for a day, I didn't have a clue, and I thought that it was very important, so I still had to go over and ask in person.

"Brother Zhu! I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed! Liu Xiangzhi said.

Today, Zhu Chengming saw Liu Xiangzhi's sudden visit, and it was also quite strange, didn't he get very close to the prince on weekdays? I've always looked down on me, why did you come here today?

"Brother Liu, what is the so-called sudden visit to the Humble House today?" Zhu Chengming secretly thought, if he has nothing to do, he will go to the Three Treasures Palace, this person must be prepared.

"Brother Zhu, it is said that you went to King Jing's Mansion that day, but you were driven away by Li Mingyuan, worried that something was wrong with you, so I always wanted to come over and care about it." Liu Xiangzhi said quite sincerely.

Zhu Chengming thought, didn't he come to see my ugliness, "There is no such thing, how can the little marquis drive me." ”

"Why not, Li Mingyuan is a martial artist, and he is the little overlord of Yunzhou, and he is very domineering and savage."

This Liu Xiangzhi, he looks like a man on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be so shallow, "Brother Liu, we are all literati bachelors, don't be so rude in your speech." ”

When Liu Xiangzhi heard him say this, he concluded that they must have met, otherwise it would not be possible to say this, so he took his words, "Yes, too!" Merely...... I'm not worth it for Brother Zhu! ”

"Where do you start?"

"The little marquis doesn't want to see you, and you still speak for him like this."

Although Zhu Chengming thought in his heart, the little marquis had already met me and gave me the token of Dingwangfu. How is he Liu Xiangzhi? I have been messing around with the prince for so long, and I haven't seen him have the token of the prince's mansion. Hum! It's just that Li Mingyuan doesn't allow me to spread the word now, otherwise ......!

Liu Xiangzhi saw that he didn't react, and wondered if they hadn't met? Because according to the past, how could he bear his showy character and decide to provoke him again.

"Last time, the prince gave me the privilege of the palace because I was good for poetry, so that I could go in and out of the palace in the future and accompany the prince to study." After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Chengming.

Zhu Chengming can't bear it anymore, he, Liu Xiangzhi, is deliberately angry with me! Do you really think that if it's just him, I don't have it?

"Don't hide it from Brother Liu, I have also met the little marquis, and the little marquis has also given me the token of the Dingwang Mansion!" Zhu Chengming said complacently.

What! He's seen Li Mingyuan! This is a big deal, Liu Xiangzhi thought about reporting this matter to Taishi Liang quickly! But on the surface, you still have to pretend that nothing happened, "Oh? I can't see that Brother Zhu is also a powerful person! ”

"That's it!" After Zhu Chengming finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, Li Mingyuan asked me not to say it, now I have said it, what can I do, and hurriedly advised: "Brother Liu, don't talk about this matter with others!" ”

"Naturally! Nature! ”

After Liu Xiangzhi learned the news, he found an excuse and left. Then he immediately ran to the Taishi's Mansion and asked to see the Taishi, but the people in the palace said that the Taishi had already gone to the palace, so he had to hurry to the palace again.

After seeing Liu Xiangzhi away, Zhu Chengming was ready to rest for a while.

After a while, Li Mingyuan's guards came over and took him into the palace.

The crown prince Li Minghao knew that recently, the emperor would definitely summon Li Mingyuan, so he kept sending people to pay attention.

The emperor summoned Li Mingyuan, and the crown prince also knew about it for the first time.

After the guards brought Zhu Chengming to the outside of the palace, they met with the people sent by the prince to answer them.

Li Minghao asked people to take Zhu Chengming to walk in the palace for a while, and after attracting attention, he spread some news, and then took Zhu Chengming to a room in a side hall of the Wenhua Hall to wait first.

The crown prince Li Minghao guessed correctly, this Zhu Chengming was stopped halfway.

"Father-in-law Huang, the queen sees that you are working so hard, let the miscellaneous family come over and take over, this person should be brought over by the miscellaneous family." The person who spoke was Gonggong Cao beside the queen.

"Why did Father-in-law Cao come, this was specially instructed by Father-in-law Liu." Huang Gonggong didn't want to be stopped on an errand, if something happened to this person on the road, the emperor would definitely blame him.

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry! The miscellaneous family must take people to the main hall safely, and there will not be a hair missing. ”

"This ......" Huang Gonggong was also very embarrassed, he was a person close to the queen, and he couldn't be offended.

At this time, Taishi Liang's people also came, and Huang Gonggong saw this scene and had to let him go.

Although Taishi Liang knew that Li Mingyuan had brought someone over before he went to court, he didn't know who it was. Just in case, he informed his subordinates, and moved to the top of the main hall at any time, and if he called this person to the temple, he sent someone to stop him.

The queen also knew about the matter and felt that the matter was very important, so she also asked Gonggong Cao, who was beside her, to pick up people.

Zhu Chengming found out that a group of people had been replaced, thinking that it was just a handover, and he didn't take it to heart, so he followed them directly.

Who knows, but he was taken to another place.

"Zhu Chengming, when you go to the main hall in a while, you are not allowed to say that it is someone from the palace, just say that it is the guards who drove you, do you know?" Taishi Liang's subordinates said in a tough tone.

"Did the little marquis let the contemptible say that?" Zhu Chengming was also full of doubts at this time, the people in the palace? Guards? What does this mean?

"Yes, that's what you say!"

"But...... It wasn't a guard that day. "The guards will have swords, he can still tell that.

"Say whatever you want, nonsense! If you are not honest, be careful that your whole family's life is not guaranteed! The man threatened viciously.

Only then did Zhu Chengming realize that these people must not be the people around the little marquis, but they were definitely not people he could offend.

This Li Mingyuan! Isn't that harming me? Didn't you say that you only need to tell the truth to enter the palace?

"Contemptible ......"

"If you don't do it, you won't be able to leave this palace now!" The man was even more ferocious.

Zhu Chengming was already frightened to the point that his legs were weak at this time, "The contemptible people say, the contemptible people say, the contemptible people all say what the adults mean." ”

"That's pretty much it, take it!"

So as soon as Zhu Chengming entered the hall and saw that scene, he was directly frightened and knelt on the ground.

Fortunately, he only recognized the person, and didn't let him say that it was in the palace or a guard.

Everything that happened in this palace today was also watched by the crown prince Li Minghao. None of the people Li Minghao was secretly monitoring this time were from the Prince's Mansion, and all of them were trusted candidates to mobilize the Taifu Gong's side.

It was a small attendant beside the prince who reported the news, and he had followed the prince for many years, and he had never doubted him. Just when they continued to monitor, they also found a person, that is, Liu Xiangzhi, after the prince learned that he had also entered the palace, he was very shocked, how could he have come, is it .......

This is the case, the literati in green clothes on the Yaji that day was not Qin Chaowen, it was him Liu Xiangzhi! It was he who asked Qin Chaowen to go to Li Mingyuan to write poems, because they were both literati and their clothes were somewhat similar, so they would be mistaken.

Liu Xiangzhi is a very talented person, and the prince has always been friends with him because he appreciates him very much. Unlike Fang Xiaozhi, he himself has an inexplicable desire for power, and when Taishi Liang found him, promised him a lot, and let him act as an eyeliner. He saw that the prince looked innocent, and at first glance he was not the opponent of Liang Taishi, thinking that in the future, he was afraid that the court and the central government would be the world of Liang Taishi, so he agreed to act as an eyeliner at the moment. And he has always communicated with the little attendants around the prince, every time the prince investigates the eyeliner, he will be informed, and then he will protect the other party, so naturally he can't find anything.

After Li Minghao learned that it was Liu Xiangzhi, he was very disappointed, and I have always treated him as a friend!

This is the end of the matter, and the eyeliner around King Jing's Mansion and the crown prince has been cleared.
