Li Yuan then said: "Your Highness, the minister could have hung up without caring about himself, pretending not to know and leaving directly, even if King Zheng really succeeded, the minister would have a way to protect himself in Chudi, which is thousands of miles away. But the minister did not do this, because the important matter related to His Royal Highness King Yan was important, and the minister would never stay out of the matter, and if the minister did not come forward at a critical time, wouldn't he live up to His Highness's trust in the minister?"

Li Yuan finally took advantage of this matter to return to the original topic, and in response to this, Li Hongji and Liu Shaojian, who were immersed in King Zheng's rebellion, were a little caught off guard, but the expressions on their faces obviously changed, especially the distrustful precaution that Li Hongji had when he first met had subsided, and Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing Li Hongji today, Li Yuan had a hunch that he would not be able to pass the test without taking out some dry goods. In view of the fact that various things have caused Li Hongji to become more and more suspicious and distrustful of himself, and when he comes to the capital, if he is not careful, he may disappear into the capital without a trace. Ever since I entered this courtyard, there has always been a faint sound of strings pulling in my ears, and I don't think it's an auditory hallucination.

You must know that Li Hongji, the long-depressed Yan King, is likely to make any kind of radical move in his yard. Li Yuan understood that if he wanted to leave here safely, he could only pour a dose of fierce medicine into Li Hongji, so taking out this important event was obviously a very heavy gift to win trust, and it greatly attracted Li Hongji's attention.

These astonishing words that Li Yuan said today were obviously something that Li Hongji and Liu Shaojian had never considered, and from the mouth of Li Yuan, a famous general in the world, it further strengthened their determination in this matter, and Li Yuan said conclusively that the purpose of coming to Beijing this time was precisely for this matter, and he promised that he would never abandon King Yan.

This made Li Hongji feel that no matter how to deal with this matter, at a critical time, Li Yuan still had his heart for himself, and Li Yuan also indirectly woke up Li Hongji, he had gradually woken up to this kind of moment of life and death, and there could no longer be a woman's kindness in his heart.

The atmosphere on the Huxin Pavilion gradually eased a lot, and although Li Hongji's eyes were full of worry, there was also a kind smile on his face.

"Li Yuan, you can stand up at a critical time, speak up to this king, and think about this king, this king is very happy in his heart. Alas, this king knows that you can be where you are today, and this king has not actually helped you much, and he used to doubt you before that. But now, the king has complete trust in you, and you can return to Beijing at this time to give advice to the king, which shows your loyalty.

It may be premature for this king to say these words at this time, but I still have to make it clear to you that if this king can survive the crisis, he will be reused for you once he can ascend to the throne of great treasure one day, as long as you remain loyal to this king."

Li Yuan bowed down and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, the minister's loyalty to His Royal Highness can be seen every day, please check it out."

Li Hongji nodded and said, "What you said today has proven your loyalty. Don't worry, this king will no longer be suspicious of you in the future, but what you said today is really important, this king's mind is disordered, and he still needs time to think about how to deal with it, and he must not let the rebellious ministers and thieves succeed.

Go back today, and if the king has a command, he will command it to be made known to you. Remember to be careful in the city, your safety is of paramount importance to the king. Remember, remember."

Li Yuan thanked him, the two chatted a few words, and the laughter of Peng Shiyu and Peng Qingying also came. The two siblings recounted their parting feelings and returned to the Lake Center Pavilion. Everyone sat down to drink tea, but Li Hongji was obviously in no mood to laugh and talk at this time, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

At this time, it is almost evening, the sunset is gradually falling, and the scenery on the pavilion in the middle of the lake is breathtaking. But it was late, and the cold in the middle of the lake was unbearable, so Li Yuan led Peng Qingying to retreat immediately. Unexpectedly, Peng Shiyu decided to leave with Li Yuan to live in the Li Mansion, and then leave Beijing with Li Yuan.

Li Hongji, the king of Yan, did not stop him, and ordered someone to go to the palace of the king of Yan to inform Peng Shiyu's entourage to pack their luggage, and then send them to the Li mansion. And Peng Shiyu was also quite direct, so he simply didn't even return to Yanwangfu, and insisted on following Li Yuan and Peng Qingying.

The three of them got on the boat and said goodbye to Li Hongji, although Li Hongji was preoccupied, he still gave it off with a smile on his face, and watched the boat float towards the shore.

The cold wind in the evening blew across the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and he stood by the railing and looked at Li Yuan

Li Hongji, who had left with Peng Shiyu's boat, was silent, his palm unconsciously patting lightly on the railing, thoughtful.

Young Eunuch Liu, who was standing beside him, said softly in his characteristic sharp voice, "Your Highness, since you believe what Li Yuan said, please prepare early. Li Yuan is right, Your Majesty seems to have really prepared these days, the palace army is indeed recruiting troops everywhere, the old slave thinks that the misfortune and fortune are relied on, and this time is a good time for His Highness to recover."

Li Hongji said in a deep voice: "Young eunuch, do you mean, will my father use this king? But you have also seen in the past six months, how partial the father is to the sixth child, not only did he enter the court to participate in politics at a young age, but even the central ministers acquiesced to let the sixth person take the throne, and this time the father's approach made the king feel helpless. Knowing that the sixth child had the intention of rebelling, he was even so lenient......

Young Eunuch Liu was silent for a moment and said softly: "What Your Highness said is true, but don't forget, Your Highness, you are also the son of Your Majesty, and you are the eldest son, and among Your Majesty's many princes, only you and King Zheng have reached adulthood. This time, if King Zheng really dared to defy the condemnation of the world and commit an act of disobedience, it would be an unforgivable sin, and even if His Majesty forgave him, it would be of no avail. If King Zheng falls, His Highness will have no rival."

Li Hongji frowned and said, "This section is understood by the king, but have you ever thought about it, what if the sixth child stopped in time under the warning of his father? Presumably, my father will continue to use him regardless of his past suspicions."

Young Eunuch Liu shook his head and smiled: "The old slave boldly speculated, even if King Zheng wanted to stop, it would be too late, you must know that he provoked the big Buddha of Wei Guogong, which is a master who is not even taken seriously by His Majesty. Once the Zhennan army is dispatched, it will not be able to return without blood."

Li Hongji said softly: "This sixth child really surprised this king, he originally enjoyed the exclusive favor of his father, and even this king couldn't envy him, but he didn't expect him to be so eager for power, he didn't hesitate to take risks and chose a path of no return. If it weren't for Li Yuan's mention today, this king would really be unexpected."

Young Eunuch Liu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "What Your Highness said is that Li Yuan did mention it in time. But His Royal Highness, the old slave suggested, no matter what, it is better to have more eyes on Li Yuan. The old slave has been in the palace for so many years, and it is rare to see a young but scheming person like him, otherwise how would he climb to this position with his lowly background?

You see he is smiling on the surface, but in fact he doesn't know how many knives are hidden in his heart, this kind of person is the most terrifying. Don't forget, I just mentioned the murderous aura on his body when Zhou Xingfeng was——"

"So what?" Li Hongji waved his hand and frowned, "It doesn't matter what kind of person he is, the important thing is that he is now the governor of Langzhou, the envoy of the Wuping army, and a giant in the court. What this king wants to take advantage of is his current position and what he has, which is what this king needs most.

As for what kind of person he is, as long as he can not oppose this king, it doesn't really matter, this king only needs to use him. In the future, after the king ascends the throne, it is not a matter of words to kill him. Now the king is not strong in the court, and he needs help from all sides. Since this king has made you appear before him today, you will still have to treat him with the same courtesy as before, do you understand?"

"What Your Highness said is that the old slave is stupid." Young Eunuch Liu said busily.

Li Hongji said softly, "It's time for you to return to the palace? Go quickly, lest your father suspect him. By the way, he ordered Peng Shiyu's entourage to be sent to Li Yuan's mansion, and then rewarded some property in the name of rewarding Peng Shiyu's sister to appease Li Yuan's heart.

In addition, the people you arranged around the Li Mansion can also be withdrawn, so as not to be discovered by Li Yuan. The people who were in ambush on the official road in Xicheng have also withdrawn, and they must not kill him at the moment. At present, the matter of the sixth rebellion is inconclusive, and with a famous general like him, this king can add a lot of help. Then go and inform Han Xizai, Sun Sheng and the others, and let them come to the palace tonight."

"Yes, Your Highness. The old slave will handle these things before he returns to the palace." Young Eunuch Liu agreed in a deep voice, and the footsteps of "Dong Dong" sounded, and he slowly walked down the pavilion.
