In the night, a black carriage drove slowly down the long street.

In the carriage, Li Xuan and Di Renjie sat opposite each other.

There is a curfew outside the car.

The curtain swayed, and only a group of Jingo guards patrolled.

Li Xuan's gaze withdrew from the long street outside, then looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Brother Huaiying, what are you looking for?" ”

After the banquet was over before, everyone went home, Di Renjie asked Li Xuan to help send him back, and Li Xuan immediately knew that Di Renjie had something to talk to him privately.

The long street with the curfew, inside the swaying carriage, is indeed a good place to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"Lord Wang, the case of Shiyin Zhenren, the matter is sensitive, and the prince should be cautious." Di Renjie finally spoke his words.

Li Xuan fell silent and nodded seriously.

He understood what Di Renjie meant, and it was inconvenient to say no matter how deep it was.

"Everything depends on the evidence, if there is evidence, this king will not hide it privately, and it will be played to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven truthfully." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie and said calmly: "But to be honest, there is no strength over there to do this...... Unless, in a place unknown to the king, they still have manpower. ”

Li Xuan also didn't say those two words.

East Palace.

Ming Chongyan's matter, in the final analysis, has always been inseparable from the prince.

The conflict at the gate of the city at the beginning of the year was that Ming Chongyan was calculating the prince.

If Di Renjie hadn't stopped it in time at that time, I'm afraid that the whole thing would have already spread.

Now, the news of the death of Ming Chongyan, who has been missing for more than half a year, has come, but in the end, the one who benefits the most is Li Xian.

Although Empress Wu concealed the matter of that roster, everyone in the court who should know about it knew it.

These people are the prime ministers of the court.

This point makes Li Xian suspicious that he can't get rid of it.

Di Renjie obviously heard some rumors, and even with his ability, I am afraid that he had already thought of the death of "Ming Chongyan", and it was Li Xian who was behind the ghost.

Once the details of this case are found out, then I am afraid that no matter what the truth is, Ming Chongyan's death will be planted on Li Xian's head.

But Li Xuan can't help anything about this matter.

When Li Xian chose to hook up with Li Jingye, he should have known that Li Jingye was inevitably related to the Turks.

It's just that he himself deceived himself and chose to ignore it.

Aggressive, but risky.

Choosing between pros and cons, Li Xian made a choice......

After a long time, Di Renjie said faintly: "Lord Wang, the chaos in the north is ahead, and the Tang Dynasty is in chaos. ”

"No one wants to mess up Datang, and neither does this king, but many things are not something you and I can control, what we can do is to nip in the bud any factors that may disturb Datang, just like this time." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie deeply with a firm attitude.

Di Renjie bowed his hand and said, "In this way, everything will have Prince Lao." ”

"There is this king in Luoyang, Brother Huaiying doesn't have to worry, but Chang'an, the only one who can catch the head and tail now is the Turks in Chang'an, so please leave everything to Brother Huaiying." Li Xuan returned the salute seriously.

With Di Renjie in Chang'an, Li Xuan can always rest assured.

But although Chang'an is the final ending, the whole process is in Luoyang.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan wanted to bring both Yao Chong and Song Jing to Luoyang.

……

On the third day, an official ship slowly headed east.

Li Xuan stood at the stern of the boat, wearing a black gold silk robe and a silver crown, looking in the direction of Chang'an.

"What is the prince thinking?" Yao Chong's voice was behind Li Xuan, and Li Xuan turned around and took a look.

Only Yao Chong, no Song Jing,

Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Brother Yuanzhixian is his own person, and this king will not hide it from you, this king is worried about Li Jingye." ”

"Li Jingye?" Yao Chong was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said: "Is the prince worried about the affairs of Hebei Province? ”

When they met yesterday, they discussed Dingzhou.

Today's Dingzhou is between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Now, although the Turks in Monan have not moved, but the Turks in Mobei have moved, and under the chain reaction, who knows what the Turks in Monan have moved in the capital of the palace.

Li Xuan shook his head lightly and said, "This king is worried about the wisdom of the British Duke. ”

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan said: "The British public is on the Lingyan Pavilion, once Li Jingye really makes trouble, then it will inevitably affect the wisdom of the ancestors...... The British Duke is second only to the Duke of Wei Guo for his meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, and if his wisdom is shaken, the entire Tang Dynasty will be shaken. ”

Li Wei has fought in the south and the north for many years, from Andong to the Western Regions, Silla to the Western Turks, from Anbei to Tuyuhun, and from the Eastern Turks to the Qiang people, I don't know how many military exploits he has made.

He doesn't know how many talents he has brought in his life, and even people like Yuan Wanqing are Li Wanqing's old subordinates.

Once Li Jingye rebelled, then Li Jing's position in Lingyan Pavilion was bound to be shaken.

Perhaps, it will be directly cleared out of the Lingyan Pavilion.

"So according to the prince's opinion, what should it be?" Yao Chong looked sideways at Li Xuan.

"Find Li Jingye, kill him, destroy the body, the world will tell you, and the real murderer behind the scenes will self-destruct his face before he dies." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "As for the future, Li Jingye, let him disappear forever, so that no one in the world knows where he goes......"

"If this can be done, the prince has a great favor to the British public." Yao Chong nodded seriously.

He himself is quite flexible, and for the stability of the whole world, it is acceptable to conceal Li Jingye's true identity.

Li Xuan turned around, looked at the far east, and said softly: "This is the second time this king has stayed in Luoyang for a long time in the past few years, and I hope it will not be like last time, full of blood." ”

Yao Chong subconsciously nodded, and then asked, "Do you think that the prince can find Li Jingye's trace in Luoyang this time?" ”

"On the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, someone in Dali Temple reported that he saw Li Jingye in the palace," Li Xuan looked serious and said word by word: "So in the Luoyang Palace, there must be someone assisting Li Jingye, but it is not easy to find who this person is." ”

"It seems that the prince already has a way." Yao Chong bowed his hand slightly at Li Xuan, and his eyes were full of amazement when he looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's just a stupid way, it takes time, but before that, we need to solve the problem of 'Ming Chongyan'." ”

"The prince commanded." Yao Chong gave up his hand seriously.

"After arriving in Luoshui, Yuan Zhi landed first, went to the Shiyin Real Mansion, contacted the secret guards, and monitored the entire workshop." Li Xuan's voice paused, and then said seriously: "After the arrival of this king, all the people who have something strange, no matter who they are, will be monitored and tracked, and this king will know where they have gone and who to contact......

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Yao Chong solemnly bowed his hand, then raised his head and asked, "Do you think the prince thinks that we may find who first?" ”

"Whoever you find, that person, is the most damned." Li Xuan pressed the long sword in his hand, his eyes were cold, and his murderous aura was hidden.

……

Luoyang, Yongtongfang.

Under the escort of Qianniuwei, the black carriage slowly headed towards Ming Chongyan's mansion.

There were more than a dozen catchers and sergeants from Luoyang County, Henan Province, and dozens of local people, pointing at Li Xuan.

The news of Ming Chongyan's death from gods and ghosts has long been spread in Chang'an.

Li Jingye finally thought of a good excuse for Li Xian, and Li Xuan wanted to completely overthrow him today.

In fact, if Li Xian could be released, Li Xuan would not be willing, but Empress Wu had already firmly believed that Ming Chongyan died unexpectedly, so no matter how much he covered it up, it was useless.

In front of the door, Li Xuan opened the curtain and walked down.

Looking up and looking at the gate of the mansion in front of him, Li Xuan had to admit that Li Jingye still had some level.

He was able to come up with such a method for Li Xian to get rid of the rumors that he was not the son of the Empress Wu and get rid of the most disadvantageous situation.

Li Wei said that Li Jingye had wit, but he was not lying about it.

There were countless hunters, sergeants, and more than a dozen ordinary people around, among whom I don't know how many mysterious eyes were hidden.

No one knows what the result of Li Xuan's step will be.

Even Li Xuan himself didn't know.

If he overturns all this and exposes all the collusions between Li Jingye and Li Xian, then Li Xian's position as the crown prince will not be guaranteed.

What's more, Li Jingye has always stood on the opposite side of Li Xuan.

Li Xian's choice of him is equivalent to giving up Li Xuan.

Although Li Xian didn't know what Li Jingye did on the roster before, in fact, he was already acquiescing.

It is equivalent to Li Xian also standing on the opposite side of Li Xuan.

The positions of each other have been decided, the things have been done, and there is no chance of re-election.

In the end, everything is likely to be a brutal fight between friends and enemies, and no one has a chance to stop.

Li Xian's position as the crown prince, Li Xuan no longer has any need to protect him.

In terms of the situation, Li Xian's position as the crown prince has reached the end of the year.

Li Xuan's indifferent eyes raised.

Now it depends on how to get him out of power, so that it can be more beneficial to Li Xuan.

How to let him step down can be even more unfavorable to the Empress Wu.

……

"Uncle!" Li Xuan bowed heavily to Zhao Gong, and then asked curiously, "When did Uncle get involved in this case?" ”

This case was handed over to Yuan Wanqing at the beginning, but the strange thing is that Yuan Wanqing didn't find out anything.

The emperor was annoyed, so he handed over the case to Zhao Gong to deal with.

Zhao Gong's black plain robe, his body shape is very similar to Li Xuan, he nodded calmly, took Li Xuan inside, and said at the same time: "Half a month ago, on the day when the imperial court issued a holy decree to summon you back, Uncle Wei knew that His Majesty was going to hand over this matter to you to deal with, so in this half month, all the information will be prepared as much as possible, waiting for you to check." ”

"But uncle, this time Your Majesty is going to take Uncle as the main one, and Da Lang is just an assistant, so that others won't gossip?" Li Xuan had a hint of worry on her face.

"Whoever wants to gossip, let them find out for themselves." Zhao Gong smiled indifferently, he had been in the secret guard for many years, and it was not simple.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and continued to walk forward, while looking at the surrounding courtyards and asking, "Uncle, how many people are in this house?" ”

"Not much, only four, two old servants, two healthy women." Zhao Gong's gaze fell on the West Courtyard and said: "Shiyin Zhenren's official residence is in Chang'an, not in Luoyang, so as long as he doesn't come here, there is usually no one here." ”

"So since the beginning of this year, have the people in this mansion seen the real person in Shiyin?" Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious.

"Nope." Zhao Gong shook his head and said with the same seriousness: "They have not seen the hidden real person in the world for nearly a year. ”

"So what about this Yongtongfang, have you seen the real person in Shiyin this year?" Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong and asked seriously: "Uncle, among the secret guards, when and where was the last record of the appearance of the Shiyin Zhenren?" ”

"At the beginning of the year, in the area of Anyang and Handan, I asked, and at the beginning of the year, no one had seen Shiyin Zhenren." Zhao Gong shook his head lightly.

"Then it's interesting." Li Xuan looked at the courtyard gate of the fourth courtyard, and said softly: "Shiyin Zhenren, when he goes back to his own home, do you need to be so cautious, even if he does such a big thing in Chang'an, he won't be so careful." ”

Zhao Gong shook his head unexpectedly and said: "There were too many people he offended during that time, and as long as there was a reason to kill him, then countless people would pounce on him and kill him, and finally frame the culprit on the person who had the most reason to kill him." ”

Li Xuan's eyebrows suddenly raised.
