In the study, the lights are bright.

Li Xuan sat behind the table with a solemn expression.

Looking at the dense paper in front of him that he had written, he only felt a chill.

"Slap" Li Xuan slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Li Xian, this bastard, he still stepped into this mud pit by himself." ”

Looking at the paper in front of him, Li Xuan couldn't wait to tear the paper directly.

Li Xuan deliberately provoked the fight between Li Dan and Li Xian, but the premise of all this was that Li Xian should not intervene in the fire case of Xiangwang's Mansion.

As long as Li Xian does not have the intention of taking the initiative to harm Li Dan, then he is born invincible.

On the contrary, the more ruthless Ming Chongyan and the Beimen Scholar became, the more Li Xian would get the emperor's support.

But Lee Hyun intervened.

Although Li Xuan didn't know his role in this matter, he also understood that it was definitely not a good thing.

Today in the East Palace, Li Xian used Xue Rengui's intercession as an excuse to let Li Xuan let Li Jingye go.

When he was in the East Palace, Li Xuan hadn't reacted yet, but when he went home and thought about it, he immediately noticed that something was abnormal.

Li Xian interceded for Li Jingye, he didn't need to intervene so early.

After the matter was decided, he could openly intercede with the emperor at the court on the grounds of Li Quan's merits.

In doing so, it is more in line with his identity as a prince.

But now, far from the time when the court has made a decision, the prince intervened in advance, which shows something.

This shows that the prince is trying to control Li Jingye's ending, or rather, trying to control Li Jingye.

A man who has been secretly smuggling for many years, and a man who has a lot of wealth in secret.

Now, Li Xian first looked for Li Xuan, and let Li Jingye be sentenced lightly at Li Xuan's level, and when he arrived at the court, he would plead with the emperor again, so that Li Jingye would be sentenced more lightly and the punishment would be lighter.

In this way, Li Jingye can avoid the impact of the smuggling case of Tubo with the lightest crime, and then return to the court.

And Li Xian, who has made a great effort in this, is naturally not Xue Rengui's favor, he needs Li Jingye to serve him more afterwards.

This is something that Li Xuan cannot tolerate.

Li Jingye, who has not been dealt with much, is a huge threat to Li Xuan.

Because if you want to completely clear Li Jingye's charge of fornicating with Tibet, the best way is to go to the battlefield in person and try his best to defeat Tubo and defeat the Qinling.

And now the best opportunity is to get the Xinzhou Thorn History that should have belonged to Li Xuan.

This is equivalent to Li Xuan helping Li Xian and Li Jingye, but in the end, he didn't take anything, but lost his position as a assassin.

Li Jingye, his calculations are too fine.

Li Xuan even suspects you, in addition to Li Xian's desire to control Li Jingye, I am afraid that there is also a reason why Li Jingye is threatened in turn.

Tried to burn down the Prime Minister's Mansion and threatened the safety of many clans.

This handle alone is enough for Li Xian, who intervened in advance, to do his best.

Of course, Li Xian was not so ruthless and really went to burn down the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he was sure that some of his actions were used by Li Jingye.

Li Xuan is almost certain that his own guess is ninety percent close to the truth.

"It's really mud that can't hold up the wall." Li Xuan cursed fiercely, and subconsciously touched his forehead with his left hand, and a trace of fierceness flashed between his eyes.

Li Xian, the prince, is really too unsuccessful.

Li Jingye, this guy, is too shrewd in his calculations.

If you want to break the game, then you have to let Li Jingye and Li Xian turn their faces directly.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

A slight knock sounded at the door, and Li Xuan immediately spoke: "Come in." ”

The door squeaked, Li Zhu walked in the door, and then handed a note to Li Xuan.

"Ten days ago, someone sped on Li Shiheng."

Li Shiheng, the director of Li Jingyeying's caravan, was arrested and imprisoned by Dali Temple after fornicating with the Tubo case.

This man has always been a prisoner of the highest rank in Dali Temple.

For a long time, Dali Temple has been preventing him from committing suicide or being killed by others, but no one thought that under the strict guard of Dali Temple, someone could secretly visit him.

I am afraid that the only one who can avoid Duan Baoxuan's eyes and have the necessary and ability to visit Li Shiheng is Li Jingye.

Li Xuan calmly picked up the note, then picked up the lampshade on the side of the candle, and gently burned the note directly.

Under the firelight, Li Xuan's expression was calm and terrifying.

Li Jingye really thinks that if he convinces someone to change his mind, he can really turn this case over, which is really naïve.

But in this way, his movements are much easier.

Li Xuan picked up a piece of paper and wrote her name on it.

Ming Chongyan, Cui Mi.

Emperor, Duan Baoxuan.

Li Jingye, Pei Yan.

Li Xuan, the crown prince.

A plan had already taken shape in Li Xuan's mind.

On the paper, six lines, with six arrows, stared at Li Jingye.

Li Xuan, Prince, Cui Mi, Ming Chongyan, Duan Baoxuan, Emperor.

There was only one person wandering outside, Pei Yan.

Li Xuan pondered carefully, and a name appeared in His Majesty with his thoughts.

Li Dan.

Li Dan, Pei Yan.

Use Li Dan to deal with or target Pei Yan.

In this way, Li Jingye is dead.

Is it dead?

Li Xuan couldn't help but press her eyebrows.

The general of the Left Guard, Qi Bi He Li, and Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, are now coming to the fore, two very powerful people who are supporting Li Jingye.

Behind them, in places where Li Xuan couldn't see, there were more people silently supporting Li Jingye.

It is too difficult to nail Li Jingye to death, and what he can do now is to belittle him.

Relegation...... Detractor Li Jingye ...... Relegation...... Yangzhou?

Yangzhou, looking at the two words on the paper, Li Xuan's expression was extremely dignified.

Yangzhou, the place where Li Jingye rebelled in the future, was also the cause of his real death.

If you want to kill Li Jingye completely, the only way is to force him to rebel.

Now force Li Jingye to rebel.

At this time, there are not many troops in Yangzhou, and many of them have been put into the Qinghai battlefield, and it is easier for Li Jingye to do things.

Not to mention, Li Jingye has his own roots in Yangzhou itself.

These forces have never taken refuge in Li Xuan, and Li Xuan can completely eliminate this part of the people without any hidden worries, and then control the rest of their power.

With the emperor here, this case will not expand indefinitely.

No, if you want to force Li Jingye to rebel, you also need to clear all his forces from the court.

It's not difficult.

The key is Li Jingye, and he also needs an excuse.

Who?

Hesitating, Li Xuan's eyes fell on the crown prince.

This case has to be slowed down, not too urgent, now the war with Tubo is still going on, and the overall situation cannot be affected because of the Yangzhou incident.

As for Li Jingye, he needs to put a restriction on him in Yangzhou, so that he can't develop too fast.

And Lee Hyun.

The emperor's eldest grandson was born, and Li Xian's position should be stable.

When Li Jingye rebelled, it depends on when Li Xian was deposed, and only a correspondence between the two needs to be added at that time.

Li Xian was deposed, and Li Xian should consider taking the position.

……

In the early morning, Li Xuan and Li Dan rode slowly on the streets of the Imperial City, followed by two teams of Qianniuwei.

Li Dan, the newlywed Yan'er, looked a little gloomy inexplicably.

"Dali Temple has arrived, Your Highness." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to stop the horse, and Li Dan, who originally seemed to be thinking about something, instantly came back to his senses, and then dismounted in a little panic.

Although he looked a little flustered, Li Dan's riding skills were exquisite, and he couldn't see anything wrong easily.

Standing firm in front of the gate of Dali Temple, Li Dan looked sideways at Li Xuan and asked softly: "Uncle Wang, is the person who set fire to the palace that day really a British duke?" ”

Li Xuan sighed softly, although on the wedding day, Li Dan didn't care about anything and was focused on his newlywed wife, but on the second day, whether it was Ming Chongyan or Doulu Qinwang, they would not hide these things from Li Dan.

Not to mention, there are countless guards and attendants in the Xiangwang Mansion, and Li Dan also has other cronies of his own.

This matter cannot be hidden.

With the North Gate Bachelor, Li Dan naturally didn't need to come forward to investigate, but when all the investigations were terminated by the emperor, Li Dan naturally understood that the real culprit had been found.

And at this time, the holy decree that the queen of heaven asked Li Dan to participate in Li Jingye's smuggling of Tubo was also sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How smart Li Dan is, the connection between this can be seen clearly at a glance.

Li Jingye was the one who tried to set fire to Prince Xiang's Mansion that day, almost burned countless royal relatives, almost ruined his wedding night, and almost directly ruined his road to succession.

Li Xuan raised his head, swept his gaze from the plaque of Dali Temple in front of him, and finally looked at Li Dan, and said softly: "Your Highness, no matter what happens today, Your Highness just needs to watch quietly.

Even if there is something wrong, there are ministers who come to question it, Your Highness only needs to look at it, and if there is anything uncomfortable, Your Highness only needs to cough twice, and you don't have to move too much. ”

Li Dan thought for a while, then nodded seriously.

"Let's go." Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's already a little late for me to wait. ”

"Uncle Wang, please first." Li Dan was extremely solemn and insisted on looking at Li Xuan.

"Okay, then the minister will overstep." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and then slowly walked towards the interior of Dali Temple.

Li Dan followed closely behind Li Xuan, and the hatred on his face did not diminish at all.

……

"The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, and they have seen the King of Nanchang." Cui Mi in the imperial history, Duan Baoxuan of Dali Temple, and Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, seemed to have received the news of Li Dan's arrival a long time ago, and stood at the door of the public hall to greet Li Dan.

Li Xuan had already retreated behind Li Dan.

Li Dan solemnly saluted Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan and Pei Yan: "I have seen Cui Zhongcheng, Duan Siqing, and Pei Shangshu. Today's trial, this king just came to take a look, everything is according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, don't wronged the good people, and don't indulge the bad people. ”

Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan, and Pei Yan were slightly stunned.

They are all old foxes in the court, how can they not hear the point of Li Dan's words.

Don't wronged the good, and don't indulge the bad.

When Li Dan said the word bad guy, he used a very heavy tone, and there is no doubt that he already had his own judgment on this case.

Cui Mi and Duan Baoxuan were okay and didn't have too many ideas, but Pei Yan couldn't help frowning.

Li Jingye tried to set fire to Xiangwang's mansion, although the emperor had ordered the investigation of the case to be stopped, so that Li Xuan, Ming Chongyan and others could not be traced down, but there was one person, as long as he showed his disgust with Li Jingye, then next, the whole case would be extremely unfavorable to Li Jingye.

And now, this man is already standing in front of him.

"Ministers must do according to the law." Cui Mi and Duan Baoxuan gave up their hands at the same time, only Pei Yan was a little slower, but he could hardly see it.

It's just almost, in an instant, Li Dan's gaze has swept over Pei Yan's body.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late." Li Xuan glanced at the court and said calmly: "If there is nothing to do, let's start." ”

"Whoa!" Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan and Pei Yan gave up at the same time.

……

Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan, and Pei Yan sat on top of the Tang Dynasty one after another.

Below, Dali Temple is sitting in the presiding position with a calm face.

On the side, Li Dan and Li Xuan sat smoothly.

With a "snap", why did he slap the startled wood hard, and then shouted coldly: "Shengtang." ”

The third-class officials stood in two wings, holding water and fire sticks in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Mighty." ”
