"Please also ask my uncle to be cautious, Li Xingchen has severed the father-son relationship with his father and is no longer the third prince of Great Wei."

Li Kuo came over to take a look, and said with a solemn face.

Chen Qun arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty lost his words, please forgive Your Highness!" ”

"Second brother, since Li Hun is Li Xingchen, then we must take Pingcheng into our hands as soon as possible, otherwise Qingyun Pass will be in danger."

Chen Xuan knocked on the table and said with a solemn expression.

"Lord Shangshu, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one place cannot tolerate two kings, and the lower officials suggest that Li Xingchen be restrained as soon as possible!"

Although Lu himself was in Wuzhou, he was extremely aware of anything that happened in Jingshi.

So I knew about Li Xingchen's rape and murder more than a month ago, and I also knew that on the way to exile in Tibet, Li Xingchen lost his trace after killing the imperial guard.

It's just that he never dreamed that this former Yan King was actually hiding under his nose.

"There is no urgency in this matter for the time being, but the matter of Li Xingchen's appearance in Yandi should be reported to Your Majesty immediately, and we only need to obey Your Majesty's will!"

Chen Qun has always been cautious, and he did not dare to rashly act rashly against Li Xingchen without getting the will of Emperor Wei.

Li Kuo said: "Uncle is reasonable, without further ado, you will draw up a recital for this king, and report Li Xingchen's traces to your father!" ”

"The old minister obeys!"

Chen Qun immediately began to write the recital.

Li Kuo waved his hand: "Lu Zhoumu, Tang Peng, you two should step aside for the time being!" ”

"The lower official (lowly position) retires!"

Lu Ben and Tang Peng bowed and slowly withdrew from King Yan.

"I really didn't expect that Li Hun was actually the former third prince Li Xingchen, no wonder he was so domineering!"

On the way out of Yanwang's Mansion, Tang Peng had mixed feelings in his heart.

After all, these days, he has fought with Li Xingchen a few times.

Although they all ended in failure, it didn't seem so shameful to lose in the hands of the three princes of Great Wei.

"Nephew Tang Xian, you will stay in Wuzhou as an errand in the future, with your talent, it will be a matter of time before you enter the Yanwang Mansion!"

Out of the Yanwang Mansion, Lu Ben patted Tang Peng's shoulder and said with appreciation.

Tang Peng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the favor of Lord Zhou Mu, I am willing to serve you in the future!" ”

"Tang Xian's nephew knows advance and retreat at a young age, understands modesty, and is really a rare talent!"

The more Lu Ben looked at Tang Peng, the more he liked it: "You will report to the state capital tomorrow, and the old man can let you temporarily take the position of treasurer of Wuzhou!" ”

The original Wuzhou treasurer Gao Xian, he had already planned to send him to Pingcheng, and now Tang Peng could just take his place.

Tang Peng was overjoyed: "Thank you for the cultivation!" ”

"Okay, the old man is going back to the state capital, you can prepare well tonight!"

"Humble and respectful to the state pastor!"

watched Lu Ben leave.

Tang Peng was overjoyed.

……

Seven days later.

Great Wei Jingshi, Tai'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, recently, the Tartars of the Jin Kingdom are about to move, and they have continuously transferred 100,000 troops to be stationed outside Qingyun Pass, and there is a faint intention to attack our Great Wei on a large scale, and I also ask Your Majesty to make a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The military department Shangshu Wei Rong held a wat board in his hand and reported the battle situation at the border with a solemn expression.

"Wei Qing doesn't have to worry, when Li Kuo, the king of Yan, left the capital division, I asked him to take away an army of 100,000, which was precisely to prevent the adventures of the Jin Tartars."

Emperor Li Zhen of Wei looked around at the ministers, and finally fell on Chu Wei: "Qingguo Gong, has Lang Chunan found out the traces of Li Xingchen?" ”

Chu Wei walked into the hall and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Chu Nan is investigating, and as soon as there is news, he will definitely send it to Jingshi." ”

For more than a month, Li Zhen would summon Chu Wei out every day to ask about Li Xingchen's whereabouts, as if Chu Wei, the old man, was deliberately shielding Li Xingchen.

Over time, Chu Wei also got used to Li Zhen's daily questions, and his answers became more and more bureaucratic.

"Qingguo Gong, didn't your daughter Chu Li send you a letter?"

Li Zhen looked at Chu Wei and asked one more question.

"Alas, it's okay that Your Majesty doesn't mention Chu Li, but when he mentions Chu Li, his heart is like a knife!"

Chu Wei wiped his old eyes and said with a bitter face: "So many days have passed, Chu Li has not heard from Li Xingchen, and I don't know if I am alive or dead, old minister...... The old minister is very worried! ”

"Your Majesty, the Great Wei world spans millions of miles, and looking for people in such a vast area is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Shangshu Weirong of the Ministry of War took a step forward and gave his hand to advise: "According to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty might as well forget about this matter and focus on boosting the border defense of Great Wei." ”

"Eight hundred miles are urgent, and there is an urgent secret recital in Yandi to ......"

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from far and near outside the hall.

made the ministers of the palace suddenly feel tight.

Yandi's emergency secret music, shouldn't it be the Jin Kingdom Tartars who launched an attack?

In the nervousness of the officials, a Hongling messenger rushed into the Tai'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent secret recital in Yandi!"

"Bring it up!"

Li Zhen's heart was also tight.

The imperial chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to take over the secret music and handed it to Li Zhen.

"It's so infuriating!"

After watching the emergency secret recital, Li Zhen patted the royal case and said with an angry face: "That rebel is actually hiding in Pingcheng, Wuzhou, and began to recruit troops and horses in Pingcheng with the intention of rebellion!" ”

Hear this.

Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief.

But after thinking about it, Li Xingchen intended to rebel...... It seems to be even more serious than the Jin State's attack on Great Wei!

"Your Majesty, although Li Xingchen has disassociated himself from the Great Wei royal family, Weichen believes that he will never commit such a conspiracy when the enemy is at the head!"

Under Chu Wei's signal, Wei Rong arched his hand and said.

"Wei Qing doesn't believe it, am I willing to believe it?"

Li Zhen was furious and said: "But he swallowed the family business of the three major local noble clans in Pingcheng through cunning and robbery, and then colluded with Yang Furen, the commander of Pingcheng County, and recruited more than 2,000 new pawns!" ”

"Shhh...... Li Xingchen actually recruited more than 2,000 new pawns privately! ”

Wei Rong gasped: "He...... How bold he is! ”

Not only him, but even Chu Wei on the side was so frightened that his beard curled.

You must know that the law of the Great Wei Dynasty stipulates that a city shall not exceed 1,000 private soldiers, and those who violate it will be guilty of treason.

But Li Xingchen went to Pingcheng, and in less than two months, he began to do things there.

If this goes on like this, maybe this kid will cause even more trouble.

This moment.

All the ministers, including Chu Wei, didn't even dare to come out.

He didn't dare to defend Li Xingchen and intercede.

After all, the act of violating the recruitment of soldiers is no different from rebellion.

"Wei Qing, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, and you know better than me about the regulations of soldiers and horses in the world!"

Anger rose in Li Zhen's eyes, and his emotions gradually burst out: "According to Li Xingchen's behavior, can it be punished for the crime of rebellion?" ”
