At the end of the year, Li Congyan sent Wu Conghan to lead people all the way to Luoyang City, and handed over the heads of several thieves to the imperial court.

After Wu Conghan received the order, he immediately selected a team of elite soldiers from the new army to accompany him, and everyone went all the way west to Luoyang, and it only took more than ten days to arrive at Luoyang City.

After Emperor Li Siyuan received the above table, he publicized it to the courtiers, handed over the head of the thief to the Criminal Department, and then stopped mentioning the impeachment of Li Congyan by Li Congke and An Chongzhi, and was actually ready to turn the matter over.

However, Li Congke and An Chongzhi were willing to agree, and the two played the impeachment of Li Congyan again, and each of them gathered a group of henchmen to impeach Li Congyan together, and asked Emperor Li Siyuan to send important ministers to Dengzhou to investigate and thoroughly investigate all Li Congyan's crimes.

Emperor Li Siyuan was annoyed when he saw this, and even believed that Li Congke and An Chongzhi had secretly colluded, and had even reached some kind of compromise in secret, so he directly scolded the two in the court: "Now that the rebels in Liangchuan are still rampant, and the war in the southwest is stalemate, you don't think about how to break the enemy and quell the chaos, you are here all day long to impeach this impeachment and that, what do I want you to do!" ”

Li Congke and An Chongzhi were dumbfounded when they saw this, and understood what Li Siyuan meant, but they couldn't figure out why Li Siyuan would protect Li Congyan, in the impression of the two, the sage did not care very much for Li Congyan, the adopted son, what was wrong this time?

Since Emperor Li Siyuan was angry, Li Congke and An Chongzhi still died down, and Li Sichu, Wei Congrong and others were naturally driven out of the mansion by Li Congke.

But fortunately, Li Congke was still reasonable, and gave Li Xichu, Wei Congrong and others ten yuan each, which was regarded as a reward for this matter. Seeing this, Li Sichu and the others wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to fight again, but they could never see Li Congke's face again, so they had no choice but to leave Li Congke's mansion with the reward money, and find another way to bring down Li Congyan.

But although this matter came to an end, Li Congke felt a little bad in his heart.

Originally, Li Congke spread rumors and drove Li Congyan out of Luoyang City, just to make Li Congyan do nothing in the remote Dengzhou and not be able to pose any kind of threat to himself.

But who would have thought that it had only been almost a year since Li Congyan left Luoyang, and Li Congyan had completely controlled Dengzhou, and Li Congke knew in his heart that the situation had begun to get out of his control.

And after these two impeachments, Li Congke has already determined from his heart that what Li Xichu and others said is true, otherwise An Chongzhi would not bite the matter of Liu Yu and others, and impeach Li Congyan with himself, you must know that Dengzhou was originally An Chongxue's sphere of influence, which shows that at least the matter of booby-trapping Liu Yu and others is true!

Li Congke thought about it for a few days, but decided to make a move on Li Congyan, and he must not let Li Congyan's wings plump, in that case, he would have another competitor!

"Since the saint doesn't want to take care of you, then I'll take care of it."

Li Congke thought about it, and finally prepared to go to the assassination history of several states near Dengzhou, and ordered a few people to secretly entertain Li Congyan, hoping to use this method to contain Li Congyan and trap him in Dengzhou.

But at this moment, Li Congke was connected to two bad news.

According to the news, An Chongzhi seems to have given up on Dengzhou, and he is not ready to entangle with Li Congyan anymore, but to start fighting with Li Congke again. According to reports, in just a few days, An Chongzhu quickly promoted more than a dozen party henchmen from various places, and then inserted them into the DPRK and China under various pretexts, which greatly changed the situation of power in the DPRK and China.

Another piece of news is that the prince Li Conghou also began to become restless, and it is said that before and after An Chongzhu's secret actions, Li Conghou arranged several of his cronies to serve in the court. As a result, Li Conghou's power began to swell rapidly in Luoyang City and the imperial court.

"How daring!"

Li Congke looked at the two pieces of information in front of him, and the anger in his heart could be imagined, so he immediately went to Shuxijing's cronies and ordered him to mobilize twenty available people and rush to Luoyang City within five days. As for Li Congyan's side, Li Congke at this time couldn't take care of it, so let's stabilize the situation in Luoyang and the court first.

"Since you have begun to expand your power, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, everyone will cast their own spells in Luoyang City to see whose Taoism is higher!"

Within five days, Li Congke's henchmen in the court increased by 20 people, and Li Congke also squeezed out several of An Chongzhi and Li Conghou's henchmen by means of co-optation, bribery, coercion and intimidation, which made An Chongxue and Li Conghou annoyed.

Seeing this, An Chongzhi and Li Conghou were not to be outdone, and immediately tangled their respective henchmen and began to fight back, and Li Congke's party fought back and forth, and the three parties formed a gang and fought in the court, and for a time the court was in chaos, and even the war in the southwest against Liangchuan was also affected, and the three batches of supplies of the front-line army were delayed because of the struggle between the DPRK and China.

During this time, Emperor Li Siyuan has been stumped by the war between the two Sichuan, and now there are disputes between the DPRK and China, and he is suddenly angry, and he has been furious at the court meeting for four consecutive days, and has also taken the opportunity to dismiss more than a dozen officials, basically Li Congke, An Chongxue, and Li Conghou's henchmen, hoping to warn the three of them and let the three of them be more restrained.

However, Li Congke, Li Conghou, and An Chongzhi, who had already killed the red-eyed, were still indifferent, and only cared about leading their respective henchmen to rush back and forth in the court every day, and even used three indiscriminate methods such as beating sticks, harassing family members, kidnapping and intimidating at night, which made the government and the opposition look sideways, and made Li Siyuan feel cold and wanted to cry without tears.

In an inn in Luoyang City, Wu Conghan found a secluded room, asked the store to prepare a lot of food, and also scalded a lot of wine, and then personally sent it in, and specially instructed the store not to disturb casually, and arranged for two new army soldiers to guard outside.

At this time, there were two people sitting at the table in the room, one was Li Congyan, the assassin of Dengzhou, and the other was a birch armor!

Wu Conghan looked out vigilantly, except for the soldiers of the New Army guarding outside the door, there were no idle people, so he gently closed the door and said with some complaints: "Lord, why do you have to come with me this time?" Isn't it just to secretly investigate the inside story of this impeachment, I can plant birch armor and I, don't the Lord still believe us! There are hidden piles of Li Congke, An Chongzhi and others everywhere, and it is too dangerous once they are discovered! ”

Li Congyan smiled and said: "This time I came to Luoyang, and it was just a matter of handicap, and you must know that the secret investigation is the key." During this time, I have been uneasy, and I have always thought that the sudden impeachment of Li Congke and An Chongzhu was by no means a whim, and there must be a mastermind behind the scenes to promote this matter, otherwise how could they stand together against me? I've got to find out about this person, or something might happen in the future! ”

"Then the Lord can't put himself in danger! If there is a case in the Lord, I and the birch armor will be to blame even if we die! ”

Li Congyan didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Didn't I carefully select a team of new army soldiers to bring into the city, what can happen?" Even if there is a stir, can't you still keep me from rushing out of Luoyang City? But you, visit more often in the past few days to see what useful information you can find. ”

Wu Conghan shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said with his crossed hands: "Oh! Tomorrow, the subordinates will do it separately. ”

Then Li Congyan stayed in this inn and did not go out for several days. Although Li Congyan said harmless words, he knew in his heart that after all, he was the prince, and there were too many people in Luoyang City who knew him, and it would be troublesome if he was recognized, so it was better to be careful in everything.

Li Congyan deployed a division of labor for Wu Conghan and Chong Huajia: most of the things that were secretly investigated were brought by Chong Huajia, while Wu Conghan used his previous relationship in Luoyang City to investigate, and the two of them carried out a two-pronged approach at the same time, hoping to get twice the result with half the effort.

But even so, the soldiers searched in two ways for more than ten days in a row, but there was no news, and the mastermind behind the scenes that Li Congyan said seemed to have never existed, and everyone could not find any trace of this person behind the scenes.

However, Chong Huajia and Wu Conghan found out a lot of the situation of the battle between the DPRK and China during this time, after all, this is Luoyang City, and there are not many other things, that is, there are many dignitaries and nobles, and if something happens in the court, it can spread throughout Luoyang City that night. In Luoyang City at this time, there are basically no secrets in the court.

"This is interesting, Li Conghou couldn't bear it anymore and went into battle shirtless? This is a little earlier than I expected, and it seems that there are still some small deviations in history in some details. ”

Li Congyan secretly thought in his heart, and also reminded himself: It seems that with my arrival, the evolution of history can only be used as a reference, not as a basis for decision, after all, there is already the possibility of deviation!

That night, Li Congyan leaned on the bed to check the information sent by Wu Conghan and Chong Huajia, and his heart was a little more steady.

This Li Conghou is not a good person, and in the future, he was designated as the heir by Li Siyuan and became the next emperor, and then the chaos in the Tang court will be even greater!

Thinking of this, Li Congyan felt a burst of joy in his heart, and said secretly: "In this way, the court should be in chaos for a long time, and the three-party chaos must be very exciting!" It seems that Li Congke and An Chongzhi can't care about paying attention to Dengzhou in a short period of time, and they can't care about making trouble with me! ”

However, although Li Congyan thought so in his heart, he still maintained a trace of vigilance, and secretly said that he must speed up the speed of development when he goes back this time, and several plans in his heart will be launched in advance, expanding the army, rectifying military equipment, etc., it is a thousand things to think about, but he must hurry up, after all, time is running out!

Just when Li Congyan was secretly calculating, Wu Conghan on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Lord, we've been in Luoyang City for a long time, shouldn't we go back?"

"Huh? Well! ”

"Huh? Well!? ”

Wu Conghan didn't understand what Li Congyan meant, so he said again: "Lord, there may be some chaos in this three-way fight in Luoyang City." It is said that a few days ago, the head of the Ministry of Works, who was attached to An Chongzhi, was beaten at the door of his house, and now he is still lying at home and unable to move! In my opinion, whether it is Li Congke, Li Conghou, or An Chongzhi, any prince or important minister, there is no bottom line for the sake of authority, just like the means of street gangsters have been used, what else can't they do? ”

Li Congyan nodded, this was also what he was worried about, so he said: "Okay, two days after tomorrow, we will secretly investigate for two days, if there is no useful information, we will return to Dengzhou in two days." ”

Wu Conghan saw that Li Congyan was relieved, and he was also relieved in his heart, and immediately crossed his hands and promised.

At this moment, the birch armor was reported outside the door: "Enlighten the Lord, Dengzhou has sent an urgent report!" ”

Li Congyan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly let the birch armor come in, took a letter handed over by the birch armor, and his face changed greatly after reading it.

Wu Conghan saw Li Congyan's face, and asked a little uneasily: "Lord, but something happened in Dengzhou?" ”

Li Congyan nodded and said, "The Khitan Emperor Yelubei fled across the sea, and his boat has already reached the coast of Dengzhou. Moreover, Yelubei sent an envoy to the Assassin's Mansion, wanting to land in Dengzhou and seek refuge from the imperial court! ”

"What!"

Wu Conghan and Chong Huajia were stunned for a moment.
