"It's not worth it, what's not worth it?" Li Leng turned his head slightly, glanced at everyone, his cold face showed a bright smile, and said slowly, "I don't understand the meaning of everyone's words, what happened just now? Why did everyone look at me so strangely? Also, General Yan, as the general of Northern Xinjiang, I am the commander of Northern Xinjiang, and anyone wants to execute you without my consent, it is a useless decision, do you understand?"

Yan Song's brain was a little insufficient, he looked at Li Leng blankly, silent for a long time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, as if he understood Li Leng's intentions, and a bright smile appeared on his face, although he was worried and uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what would happen next, but since Li Leng had this plan, he had to fully cooperate with Li Leng, and the worst result would be to be beheaded! Yan Song nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, my subordinates have already understood." ”

The third prince was furious and shouted: "Li Leng, you are so bold! Openly tearing up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, why, do you think that with the army of Northern Xinjiang, you can threaten the Son of Heaven? Can you rebel? Okay, you are very good! I wanted to give you a way to live, but you yourself have to go to the road of death." Then don't blame this prince for ignoring brotherhood. I will tell the Son of Heaven the truth, and let the Son of Heaven condemn you for a great disrespect. ”

"One thing, you're mistaken! I not only control the Northern Xinjiang Army, but I also control the Eastern Xinjiang Army. In the entire Tang Dynasty, half of the military power is in my hands. Therefore, if you move out of the Son of Heaven, you can only scare and scare other people, I ...... Unafraid. The smile on Li Leng's face became even brighter, and he smiled, "Also, I don't quite understand the meaning of the third prince's words. Tearing up the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven? Did I do this? Who saw me tearing up the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven just now? Third brother, if you want to frame me, you can't be so blatant! ”

"You ......" The third prince was very angry, this trick of reversing black and white and pointing to a deer as a horse is too clumsy, can it be that the facts that everyone sees can be covered up by Li Leng alone? It is too hateful! His eyes are gloomy and cold, he stares at Li Leng deadly, and says, "Tenth brother, you think too highly of yourself, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand? So many people have seen you tear up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, I see how you can fulfill this lie." ”

"Who saw it?" Li Leng's voice was not loud, but it revealed a supreme authority, his cold gaze swept over all the generals in the camp, and said coldly, "Whoever saw me tear up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven can stand up now." I'm Li Leng...... I want to talk to him well. ”

No one dared to stand up and identify Li Leng, and all the generals bowed their heads under the cold gaze of the two princes.

The third prince was about to vomit blood in anger, and he didn't even stand up for his henchmen, openly supporting him, and the resentment in his heart was even stronger, so he directly took out a general and shouted: "Tell everyone, have you seen the Ten Princes tear up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven?"

This general was very embarrassed, how could the dispute between the two princes involve him. He looked at the third prince very embarrassed, although he was the confidant of the third prince, but if he wanted to offend Li Leng for the sake of the third prince, then he was unwilling to do it. But if he doesn't do what the third prince wants, then he won't have good fruit to eat in the future.

"Say, have you ever seen the Ten Princes tear up the Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven? Rest assured and boldly say, I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you a single hair. The third prince said half-encouraging and half-threatening, "Don't forget, your family is still in the capital, if you don't tell the truth, then let your family bear the price of lying for you!"

The general raised his head suddenly, looked at the three princes with frightened eyes, weighed the pros and cons, decided to stand on the side of the three princes, and just wanted to speak: "I saw that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tore up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. However, he only spoke of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, when he suddenly heard a thud, and a sharp sword aura pierced his throat, and blood splattered everywhere.

Suddenly, the general looked back at Li Leng in surprise, and his body slowly fell, trembling a few times, and gradually lost his breath of life.

"Kill people and kill people, you are killing people and killing people. The third prince was dumbfounded, this Li Leng was so bold that he openly killed people and killed people, could he really not see that others were fools? He looked at Li Leng angrily and said gloomily, "Tenth brother, you are so ruthless! But if you do this, you are not admitting yourself." Hmph, kill people and kill people, good means!"

"You're thinking too much, I'm not killing people. The smile on Li Leng's face became even brighter, and he said lightly, "Those who are not of my race will be killed." This person is obviously a general in Northern Xinjiang, but he ...... Hooked up with you, then I'm sorry, my Northern Frontier army doesn't need such people. Killing him is to warn other generals that this is the end of betraying me. ”

"Haha......" The third prince laughed angrily, he was really shocked by Li Leng's arrogance, he looked at Li Leng coldly, and said, "Okay, the tenth brother is a good method! But do you really think that the northern frontier is your northern frontier? The northern frontier is the northern frontier of the Son of Heaven and the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty. I don't believe that the generals of the Son of Heaven will be threatened by you, a little prince. ”

"It doesn't matter, if you want to give it a try, then give it a try. Li Leng glanced at the generals and said, "I know what everyone is working so hard for, glory and wealth, seeking immortality, powerful exercises, and the cultivation of future generations, I will satisfy everyone one by one." However, I want to tell you that I can give you what you want, and you can get him back. Northern Xinjiang is not my own Northern Xinjiang, it is everyone's. So, everyone thinks about it and then answers. ”

"Say, don't be fooled by him. The world belongs to the Son of Heaven and belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Any resource, any exercise, belongs to the Son of Heaven. The third prince roared almost heartbreakingly, "Whoever betrays the Son of Heaven will definitely end up miserable." Tell me what you see, and don't be threatened by him. With the protection of the Son of Heaven and the protection of the Tang Dynasty, the Ten Princes can't help you. ”

Li sneered and didn't say anything, standing there quietly, his expression was very relaxed and calm, not at all worried that those generals would tell the truth. Dare to do it, he has already thought of the consequences.

"Say, did you see it?" The third prince was angry, dragged out a general, and coerced him to say, "If you don't say it, it is a rebellion, a betrayal of the Son of Heaven, a betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, and it will be connected to the nine clans." ”

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, I didn't see anything just now. Ten...... His Royal Highness the Ten Princes did not get the holy decree, and it was impossible to tear up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. You...... Are you mistaken?" the general was a little frightened, and at the end, asked in a low voice.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. When the third prince heard this answer, he was completely dumbfounded, he was not convinced, dragged out several generals, and kept asking them if they had seen His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tear up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and all the generals unanimously denied it, saying that they did not see His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tearing up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and they all said that he was wrong.

The third prince sat on the ground weakly, in the Tang Dynasty, there are really people who can refer to the deer as a horse, he underestimated Li Leng too much, and also underestimated Li Leng's control of the army in Northern Xinjiang. Without the Holy Decree, what did he use to kill Yan Song. The holy decree is gone, and Li Leng and the Northern Xinjiang army flatly denied that they had seen the holy decree, so he would be blamed for the loss of the holy decree. The Son of Heaven is not a fool, he will definitely see that Li Leng is playing tricks. But the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and it is necessary to balance the relationship between all parties, especially to appease Li Leng and the two tiger and wolf armies of Northern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang.

Therefore, in the end, the Son of Heaven can only sacrifice him to temporarily stabilize Li Leng. If he loses his decree, the crime can be big or small, and no matter what the final result is, he will not be able to win the throne. At least, from this incident, the Son of Heaven can conclude that he is not Li Leng's opponent. Even if he is allowed to sit on the throne, one day, he will be taken back by Li Leng, which will put Datang in an unfavorable situation.

Li Leng walked over slowly, squatted down, looked at the third prince motionlessly, and said coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

The third prince said ruthlessly: "I will tell the Son of Heaven truthfully about this matter, in the Tang Dynasty, in front of the wise Son of Heaven, I will never believe that you can reverse black and white." ”

"Whatever you want, then I will also make a twist, saying that you falsely preached the holy decree, intending to kill the general of Northern Xinjiang and control the army of Northern Xinjiang. Li Leng smiled, patted the third prince on the shoulder, and said lightly, "I don't know who the Son of Heaven will believe in the end." ”

"You ......" the three princes' faces turned green with anger.

Li Leng ordered that the general of Northern Xinjiang was still Yan Song, and at the same time, the class returned to the dynasty. Three days later, the Tang Army united with the Han Dynasty and conquered dozens of cities of the Yuanrong tribe, greatly expanding the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty and making the Tang Dynasty's military strength gain tremendous development. When the news came back to Chang'an City, Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, was pleasantly surprised, and issued three holy decrees in a row, gave Li Leng many rewards, and crowned Li Leng as the prince. The rest of the generals received huge rewards.

However, a twist and turn stirred up a thousand huge waves. The third prince consulted Li Leng, tore up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, controlled the armies of Eastern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang, intended to rebel, and asked the DPRK and China to send people to arrest Li Leng to prevent the situation from becoming serious.

As a supervisor and the third prince, he has a strong influence in the court. In addition, the ironclad guard secretly investigated this matter, although he did not find substantial evidence, but it also proved that the holy decree of the Son of Heaven was missing, and it was very likely that it was torn up by Li Leng.

The Son of Heaven was furious, but he did not lose his reason and calmness, and at the morning meeting the next day, he released the matter to test the opinions and opinions of the courtiers. When Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo heard this, he was slightly stunned and a little surprised, but soon, a scheming smile appeared on his face, and he sat in the first row without saying a word.

Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, couldn't help but gasp when he saw that everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, he never thought that Li Leng's power in the court would be so strong. If it was before, I don't know how many courtiers asked for Li Leng to be arrested and the matter investigated. But now, no one dares to say this, what does this mean? Everyone is afraid of Li Leng's power, and they are afraid that they will be burned. Or, they are all Li Leng's people, and it is impossible to go to Li Leng.

"Don't you have a word?" Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, was furious, and the majesty was pressed down layer by layer, and the ministers in the court knelt down in panic, feeling panicked in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks...... It's a bit strange to believe it, but you can't believe it all either. Taifu trembled, knelt on the ground, and said, "His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, the genius of Tianzhong, has won a decisive victory over the Yuanrong clan. Not only did it recover thirty cities in northern Xinjiang, but it also occupied a lot of territory of the Yuanrong tribe, greatly expanding the sphere of influence in northern Xinjiang, and making the military strength of my Tang Dynasty skyrocket. This kind of merit is something that will be done for thousands of generations, and it is something that every Tang Dynasty citizen must remember. ”

"I'm asking...... What do you think of the Ten Princes' tearing up of the Son of Heaven's holy decree, it's not for you to ask the Ten Princes for credit. Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, was extremely angry, but Taifu's status was lofty, and he was no longer happy in his heart, and he didn't dare to do anything to Taifu, so he had to hold back his anger and remind Taifu that he was off topic.

"Yes, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven represents the authority of the Son of Heaven and the face of the Tang Dynasty, and tearing up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to challenging the authority of the Son of Heaven, which is a great crime of rebellion. Taifu said.

"Oh......" Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, said with a happy face, "You mean, this matter is likely to be true, and the Ten Princes have indeed torn up my holy decree." ”

"No, no, no, the minister didn't mean that, the minister said that tearing up the Son of Heaven is a great crime of rebellion, but the minister didn't say that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tore up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. Taifu hurriedly denied, "Judging from the available evidence, it cannot be proved that His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince did such a thing. In case of...... The minister said that in case, this is a misunderstanding, someone is framing His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, then Your Majesty killed His Royal Highness the Ten Princes by mistake, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world? Everyone will think that His Royal Highness the Princes has made such a great contribution, but he has ended up in a different place. If it were them, wouldn't it be the Nine Clans? Therefore, the minister implored Your Majesty to handle this matter carefully and think twice before acting. ”

"Okay, okay, it's the same as not saying it, I don't want to hear this, can't you say something I want to hear?" Li Daoyuan had a little headache, he was really an old fox, giving an ambiguous answer, not offending on both sides, patting his forehead, and suddenly saw Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo sitting there motionless, his heart moved, and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Zhou Wenbo said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, the minister is ......."

"Don't tell me that you are not old, I am asking you, what do you think of this matter? Believe it or not, the Ten Princes tore up the holy decree of the Son of Heaven?" Li Daoyuan really couldn't understand what was going on with these old guys who had lived for so many years in vain today, one by one they were pretending to be confused, asking one, they were all sloppy, if it weren't for the impact, he really wanted to slap him alone, and there was still him in his eyes.

"What does it have to do with me that you are old or not?" said Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, a little helplessly.
