Chapter 435: Mysterious Master

Unexpectedly, just when Li Xi was slightly stunned by the matter of the Dharma name, the nun named Jinghui added another sentence: "The shadow of Zhuoshan, the deer chirps, it is good." ”

Hearing this, Li Xi's delicate body trembled, as if struck by lightning, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Can the princess take a step to speak," Jinghui's tone was very indifferent: "There are many people, and there is no time to talk deeply." ”

Li Xi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly ordered: "You all retreat, this palace wants to talk to Master Jinghui about the mysteries of Buddhism." ”

At the moment, there were only Xiaoting, two palace maids and four guards around her, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned at the same time when they heard the order, not knowing why the princess suddenly wanted to talk about Buddhism with this young nun, and why they all avoided it.

Xiao Ting reacted the fastest, hurriedly responded to the order, and then beckoned the palace maid guards to retreat into the distance, leaving only Li Xi and Jinghui in the distance.

"Everyone has already walked away," Li Xi stared at the nun in front of him tightly, and asked coldly, "Answer me, where did you hear that sentence?" ”

Jinghui smiled slightly: "In the princess's letter to the king of Huaiyang, the shadow of Zhuoshan was written, and the deer chirped, and deliberately used the word Jinghui as the payment at the end of the letter, I don't know if the poor nun is right?" ”

Li Xi was shocked in his heart.

She did secretly correspond with her brother many times after the rebellion of Li Kui, the king of Huaiyang, the most recent of which was just over two months ago, and the letter was written about what Jinghui had just mentioned.

Obviously, the other party is not good, and the identity is even more extraordinary.

Li Xi forced himself to calm down quickly. It was pointless to deny the situation in front of her, so she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”

Jinghui clasped her hands together and said: "Princess, the poor nun has a humble status, and the origin of her name is not enough to worry about. It's just that my master has something to ask for, and I hope the princess can help. ”

Li Xi asked, "Who is your master?" ”

Jinghui shook her head: "The princess asked the wrong question. You should ask the poor nun what you need help with. ”

Li Xi couldn't help but sneer: "Pretend to be a ghost and pretend to be a mystery!" What's the need for this palace to help you rats with hidden heads and tails? ”

"Amitabha," Jinghui said calmly, still calmly, "My master said that if the princess refuses to help, then tomorrow morning, the letter you wrote to the king of Huaiyang will be placed on the emperor's bookcase." ”

Hearing this, Li Ximei's eyes wandered, and she suddenly smiled: "So powerful? It seems that your master is not only an important minister in the court, but also deeply favored by His Majesty. Such a big person, there are only seven or eight of them, so it should be easy to guess. ”

Jinghui also smiled: "Good, good." The princess is really extraordinary. However, the poor nun still advised the princess not to cause trouble for herself. ”

"This palace is not even afraid of death, can it still be coerced by you?" Li Xi said coldly: "If you have the ability, go and tell the emperor!" ”

Jinghui looked at Li Xi indifferently, and suddenly said: "The princess does have the heart of abandoning the world, but if there is a chance to rescue King Huaiyang, don't you want to try?" ”

Li Xi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Do you have a way to save him?" ”

"It's not that the poor nuns have a way, but my master has a way." Jinghui said lightly: "The matter that the master wants to ask you for help is also related to this. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Li Xi finally moved his heart, and asked lightly, "What does your master want me to do?" Why does it have anything to do with my royal brother? ”

Jinghui looked at the palace maids and guards guarding in the distance, and said softly: "My master wants to ask the princess to report someone,"

"Who?"

"The former Changshi of the Beiya Reverse Scale Division, Changning Hou Shen Lie."

Li Xi was shocked, and felt as if a cold wind had suddenly swept behind him, and the hairs on his body stood up. She suppressed the huge uneasiness in her heart and asked, "What is the crime of accusing Shen Lie?" ”

"Instigating and bewitching the king of Huaiyang to raise troops and stand on his own."

"What? You're not kidding Hongu, are you?! Li Xi was surprised and said: "The whole world knows that Shen Lie is my father's minister, and he is ordered to protect and support the current emperor to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, how can he ......?"

Jinghui said indifferently: "Raise your own self-esteem and monopolize power." Does the princess think this reason makes sense? ”

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then tried to say: "You mean to say that Shen Lie secretly tricked my imperial brother into rebelling in order to make the emperor more dependent on him?" ”

"Exactly." Jinghui smiled: "In this way, my master can also excuse King Huaiyang in front of the emperor." ”

Li Xi suddenly fell into silence, standing motionless for a long time, and did not say a word. Jinghui was not in a hurry, just looked at her quietly, waiting for the final reply.

After a long time, Li Xi suddenly said faintly: "Do you understand that if you deal with Shen Lie like this, once you fail, I will die a miserable death?" ”

Jinghui clasped her hands together: "Not only the princess, but also my master will not be spared." ”

"Then how dare you take such a risk?" Li Xi was a little puzzled: "Shen Lie has already been imprisoned by the emperor because of the secret file, and he can't threaten anyone at all." Wouldn't it be nice to let him fend for himself in peace? I'd rather provoke the tiger and provoke the poisonous snake than get involved in framing Shen Lie. ”

Jinghui said lightly: "So, we must succeed and not fail." Princess, for your own safety and to save the life of your royal brother Li Kui, this risk is still worth it. ”

Li Xi bit his lip tightly, as if he had made a great determination: "Denounce the former chief of the Reverse Scale Division, you can't just rely on my mouth, do you have any reliable evidence?" ”

When Jinghui heard her say this, she was finally relieved, and responded with a smile: "The evidence has been sent to the princess's mansion at this time, and you can see it as soon as you go back." As for how to use it, with the wisdom of the princess, it must not worry my master. ”

-

Li Xi returned to the meditation room, Murong Ling was almost resting, and the two, accompanied by the abbot, ate two cups of Zen tea and listened to the Dharma. Princess Fenyang pretended to have something in her heart and didn't want to stay for a long time, so she found an excuse and didn't even eat fast, so she left Xiangji Temple with Murong Ling and returned to the imperial princess's mansion.

Before entering the mansion, the housekeeper came to report that someone in the palace had sent a brocade box, indicating that the princess would open it herself. Li Xi's heart was secretly moved, guessing that it was the evidence sent by the owner of Jinghui nun to falsely accuse Shen Lie, so he ordered the housekeeper to put the brocade box in her boudoir, and the rest of the people retreated.

Sure enough, Li Xi opened the brocade box, which contained several letters and something similar to an account book, and she looked through it slightly, all of which were related to King Huaiyang.

The letter was written in Shen Lie's tone to Li Kui, the king of Huaiyang. The main content was to incite and encourage Li Kui to cooperate with Lao Jianhua and set up an ambush to launch an attack halfway when the crown prince Li Bing went to Bianzhou to participate in the river ceremony.

And that account book is the receipt entries recorded by the Huaiyang Palace, and all of them are listed in secret to accept the equipment and funds donated to the palace by the Reverse Scale Division.

These things that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood pointed all the spearheads directly at Shen Lie, the head of the Reverse Scale Division at that time.

In addition, underneath the letters and account books, there is a pair of tiger talismans for troop mobilization.

The tiger talisman is cast in bronze and has a regular shape and is intact. It is engraved with the inscription of the first emperor Li Chengwu, and the corresponding troop number is the government soldiers located in the state capitals of the Lianghuai region.

Letters can be forged, but this is a difficult talisman.

And when the first emperor was alive, Shen Lie was definitely one of the palace figures who were qualified, had the opportunity, and had the ability to steal this thing.

All these physical evidence are strung together, and the story told by Jinghui suddenly builds great credibility:

Because of the Xuanjia Army Emperor Capital Incident, Shen Lie, who was the head of the Anti-Scale Division, regarded the crown prince Li Bing as the number one enemy, and repeatedly suggested that the first emperor depose Li Bing's qualifications as the crown prince. However, the first emperor adhered to the covenant of the Holy Religion and refused to adopt it. So, Shen Lie instigated Li Jiong to seize the throne in order to get rid of Li Bing.

Unexpectedly, after the Turkic invasion, the first emperor decided to defend the imperial capital, and left Shen Lie to assist Li Bing, Shen Lie in order to consolidate his power, he stole two Huai Tiger Talismans, so that the King of Huaiyang raised troops, thus prompting Li Bing to rely on him more and more, and eventually became a puppet.

Such a story is logical and interlocking, and the emperor does not believe it.

And more importantly, it is related to the current secret file of the Reverse Scale Division, which makes the conspiracy smell even stronger.

Li Xi watched carefully and pondered silently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a vicious method.

To be able to orchestrate such a killing game is by no means ordinary!

Is this really something that the ministers of the DPRK and China can do?

She was skeptical.

But then again, it's not really her business. Regardless of the question of who the mysterious master is, Jinghui is right, these evidences have a chance to kill Shen Lie, and there is also a chance to save Li Jiong's life.

Taking the initiative to seek the usurpation of the throne and being bewitched by powerful ministers to rebel are completely different in nature.

I am afraid that Emperor Li Bing himself has the most profound understanding of this.

Since you can make a big mistake because of Xie Guang's deception, then why can't my imperial brother Li Jiong go astray because he was deceived by Shen Lie?

This logic is the most critical part of saving Li Bing's life.

There is something to be done about this matter!

Li Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly decided: Since there is something to do, then I must not give up easily, and I have to fight for my brother no matter what.

The question now is how to tell the story in front of you, especially how you can get these important evidences, which must be designed to be watertight.

Another point is timing.

According to Xiaoting, the emperor is going to dispose of Li Jiong after her wedding, so he must give evidence before the wedding, and I am afraid that I will have a long night and many dreams if it is late.

Thinking of this, Li Xi, the princess of Fenyang, got up and walked to the window, looked at the remnant sun outside that was gradually setting westward, and came up with a plan in her mind.
