Zhou Wenbo smiled dryly, not annoyed, and still pretended to be confused: "Yes, Your Majesty is right, it is the old man who is confused." No matter how old and confused the minister is, he can see that someone is framing His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince! Your Majesty think about it, who said at the beginning that Yan Song, the great general of northern Xinjiang, colluded with the Yuanrong clan and killed His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, whose life and death are unknown? Who is it that has a very resolute attitude to play the holy decree of asking His Majesty, and in spite of the grim situation in northern Xinjiang, he has to behead the great general Yan Song at a critical moment? This chain of tricks that are closely linked to each other, even the old minister feels that that person is ruthless, and it is not simple!

Li Daoyuan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Zhou Wenbo in a little surprise, puzzled in his heart. This old fox, thinking of it, is sloppy, except for the Eighth Prince, he does not openly express his attitude and opinions on anyone or anything. Could it be that the Eighth Prince is dead, and the old fox has put all his bargaining chips on Li Leng's body? If this is the case, with the support of the prime minister and the Qin family in the court, and the power of the two major regions of Northern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang outside, Li Leng, the once vulnerable Tenth Prince, has grown to the point where even he has to be taboo for three points.

He had to re-examine the new situation, and also began to rethink the impact and influence brought by Li Leng. Even old foxes such as Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo have publicly expressed their support for Li Leng, which means that Li Leng's power has reached the point where it is uncontrollable. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, the murderous aura in his eyes gradually subsided a lot, and slowly sat back on the dragon chair, his eyes remained motionless, and asked, "What does the old prime minister mean, is it that the third prince framed the tenth prince?"

Zhou Wenbo laughed and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood what the old minister meant, the old minister just analyzed the back and causes of these things for His Majesty, and did not conclude that His Royal Highness the Third Prince framed His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. Lao Chen felt that if he wanted to investigate the truth of the matter, as long as he controlled the person who was on this piece of work and investigated it well, he should find out something. ”

"Old Prime Minister, don't you know that the one who said that the Northern Xinjiang General colluded with the Yuanrong clan with the intention of being unfavorable to Leng Er, and strongly advocated killing Yan Song, is the third prince?" Li Daoyuan looked at Zhou Wenbo playfully, the weird smile on his face became more obvious, and said lightly, "Then according to the old prime minister's opinion, do you want me to make an order to arrest the third prince and investigate this matter well?" The old fox finally showed his fox tail, but his heart did not let go at all, but became even heavier.

Zhou Wenbo has a very high prestige in the court, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, and the Zhou family behind him is known as the first family and the most powerful family under the imperial family. Such a powerful force, no matter who he supports, will have a drastic impact on the entire court situation. According to the past, Zhou Wenbo would never support a certain prince so clearly, and the reason why he supported the Eight Princes was because the Eight Princes represented the interests of the Zhou family, and supporting the Eight Princes was equivalent to protecting the interests of the Zhou family.

But this time, Zhou Wenbo was unusual, not only openly supporting Li Leng, but also asking him to suppress the three princes. This different smell made him vigilant, and he also realized that Li Leng, the tenth prince who had been neglecting it, was gradually gaining power, and he had the feeling that he couldn't lose his tail.

Zhou Wenbo deliberately looked surprised, with an expression on his face that he didn't know that the last piece was the third prince, he looked at Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, in astonishment, and was silent for a while, and asked blankly: "Your Majesty, what is the ...... of this fold Is it the Third Prince?" The movements and expressions are very in place, and people who don't know the situation will really think that he doesn't know that the Third Prince is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Li Daoyuan sneered again and again in his heart, but because of Zhou Wenbo's prestige and power, it was not easy to embarrass him too much, and said lightly: "Yes, it is the third prince who advocates killing Yan Song, the general of Northern Xinjiang. Hehe, old prime minister, all the twists and turns need to go through your hands, and finally they will reach my hands. But you ...... now? He actually told me that he didn't know there was such a note. What do you think...... Will I believe it?" his gaze grew cold, revealing his anger.

"The minister is at fault, and the minister is guilty. Zhou Wenbo knelt down in panic and said, "A few days ago, the old minister's improper cultivation caused Yuan Li to diverge from the meridians, and his body felt unwell, making it difficult to deal with heavy official duties. Therefore, I deliberately asked His Majesty for a few days off, retreated and cultivated, and straightened out the Yuan Force, and then my body slowly recovered. During that period of time, all the folds were sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the minister did not read them, but asked the subordinate officials to directly give them to the father-in-law of the palm seal. So, this ...... Therefore, the minister really didn't know that it was the third prince who was on this fold!"

"Then what if you know?" Li Daoyuan didn't intend to let Zhou Wenbo go, and then asked again after his words. This old fox's performance today is very disturbing.

Zhou Wenbo laughed and said: "If the minister knew that it was the three princes, the minister would not say anything other than that." This is an internal matter of the royal family, and the minister is not qualified to say such a thing. The minister also believed that the Son of Heaven was wise, and no conspiracy could escape His Majesty's eyes. ”

"Oh, that's ...... Or do I want to hear your opinion on this matter...... What should I do?" Zhou Wenbo was sloppy and wanted to get through this matter, but Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, did not intend to let Zhou Wenbo go, and he must show Zhou Wenbo's true attitude.

Zhou Wenbo was stunned, as if he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to ask him so much, which was tantamount to asking him to show his attitude, whether he was on the side of the Son of Heaven, or the side of the Third Prince, or the side of the Tenth Prince Li Leng. When you stand in line, everything will be clear, and the situation will be clear. It seems that the Son of Heaven is a little unreasonable, but Zhou Wenbo understands in his heart that the Son of Heaven is very ruthless.

"Hehe, Your Majesty......" Zhou Wenbo said slowly, "I think that no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, there should be no big fight." His Royal Highness the Tenth Princes has achieved the decisive military victory in Northern Xinjiang, and his personal prestige and power have reached the peak, even if His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tears up the holy decree, holding him accountable at this time will cause unnecessary changes in the situation. ”

Li Daoyuan kept his face calm and didn't say a word, but Zhou Wenbo was so cunning that he had already guessed Li Daoyuan's inner thoughts from Li Daoyuan's uneasy change in expression. His words still touched Li Daoyuan's heart and made the Son of Heaven begin to re-examine the situation in the DPRK.

"Anything else?" continued the old prime minister. Li Daoyuan waited for a while, didn't hear Zhou Wenbo continue, and said in a somewhat polite tone, "The old prime minister doesn't have to have scruples, just say whatever comes to mind, I just want to hear the old prime minister's opinion." The sharp eyes took in a lot, and even, with a bright smile on his face.

Zhou Wenbo knew that his words had aroused the interest of the Son of Heaven, which he liked to hear. With Li Leng's strong character, in order to keep Yan Song and the army of Northern Xinjiang, he dared to tear up the holy decree. The current situation is that the holy decree has been torn apart, and no matter what, he must help Li Leng get through this difficulty. Moreover, judging from the subsequent developments, Li Leng's move obviously successfully resolved the passive and unfavorable situation, and it seemed that Li Leng was in an even more unfavorable situation, but in fact, no one dared to touch Li Leng in the slightest.

Because Li Leng regained control of the Northern Xinjiang Army through this means and methods, and also kept Yan Song, so that Yan Song continued to serve as the general of Northern Xinjiang. In other words, anyone who wants to move Li Leng must consider the consequences. Northern Xinjiang and Eastern Xinjiang are the two most elite armies of the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Xinjiang army has been frequently mobilized, connecting with Northern Xinjiang to form a line and begin to put pressure on Chang'an City.

It can be said that under such circumstances, Li Leng's situation is very safe, even if Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, knows that Li Leng will do something to tear up the holy decree, he will not take any action due to the situation. The key at the moment is to give Li Daoyuan the steps down, so that he will not be too embarrassed. Zhou Wenbo saw the whole situation and Li Daoyuan's contradictory mood that he said this. A smart person will definitely take advantage of this step to come down and not be entangled in temporary gains and losses.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Ten Princes are all His Majesty's flesh and blood, and their flesh and blood are fratricidal, in the eyes of outsiders, it is royal disunity. In the eyes of the enemy, there is an opportunity. Zhou Wenbo continued, "The division of tigers and wolves, Great Qin is eyeing the tiger. When they see the rise of my Datang, they will definitely try their best to suppress it. Therefore, we must be more united within Datang, and only unity can consolidate the fruits of our victory. Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, please think again. All the courtiers knelt down and spoke out to cater to Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo.

"Is this what everyone Aiqing means?" Li Daoyuan's majestic eyes swept over everyone, and after asking, he didn't know what he was thinking, he fell into deep thought, and didn't say a word.

"Minister...... There are objections. Taiwei Gong slashed his sword, stood up angrily, made a big salute to Li Daoyuan, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with the Prime Minister's point of view. ”

"Oh, what objections does Gong Taiwei have?" Li Daoyuan came back from his contemplation, glanced at Gong Yijian, tapped his fingers on the dragon table, and asked with an interested smile.

Gong Yijian said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the prime minister said is clearly excusing the ten princes. How can such a heinous act be passed with a single sentence? The Third Prince, who is the supervisor of the Northern Frontier, discovered the misdeeds of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, and it is reasonable for him to join His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. Therefore, the minister thought that he could arrest His Royal Highness the Ten Princes and take back the power of his Northern Frontier Army. ”

Zhou Wenbo smiled slightly, and did not accept Gong Yijian's words. If he argues with him about this matter, wouldn't he tell others that he, Zhou Wenbo, is the person of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes? At least on the surface, he is a prime minister who is bent on the safety of the Tang Dynasty.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Li Daoyuan suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the dragon table, looked at Zhou Wenbo with interest, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

Zhou Wenbo said loudly: "Your Majesty, what the minister should say has already been said, and please ask Your Majesty to decide." Gong Taiwei said something, it must be Gong Taiwei who has been thinking about it for a long time. Whether they agree or disagree, they all feel that this is a normal phenomenon. Everyone looks at the problem from a different angle, and the conclusions drawn are naturally different. Gong Taiwei didn't believe in His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, thinking that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes had done such a thing, and if he wanted to investigate it clearly, it was also his duty. Minister, there is no objection. ”

"Oh......" Li Daoyuan frowned, as if he didn't expect Zhou Wenbo to say this. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't make up my mind. It's not that simple, and every decision will lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Gong Yijian said: "Prime Minister's words...... No one on either side is offended, and everyone is pleased. However, the Prime Minister tried his best to avoid the matter of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes tearing up the Holy Decree, and this kind of heart is too insidious! Could it be that the Prime Minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes cannot do such a rebellious thing? Don't forget that His Majesty loved His Royal Highness the Ten Princes so much at the beginning, but he actually colluded with Yan Song, the general of Northern Xinjiang, with the intention of rebelling. What else would this kind of person who has no king and no father dare to do? Prime Minister, you won't support His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince just because His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is dead!"

"Taiwei, what do you mean by this? Your Majesty has already been judged in advance, and you are really bold to discuss Your Majesty's resolution in vain!" Old Man Qin slowly stood up, his face was full of evil anger, he was very angry, he looked at Gong Yijian coldly, and said, "Framing the prince for rebellion for no reason, Taiwei, you don't take the face of the royal family in your eyes." ”

The two were about to quarrel, and Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, said lightly: "Okay, the matter is clear, I have my own ideas." Spread my will, the three princes and the ten princes must return to Chang'an City safe and sound. General of Northern Xinjiang...... For the time being, it was taken over by the pioneer general Tang Shu, and Yan Song assisted with a guilty body. As for other matters, the decision will be made after the two princes return to Chang'an City. Scattered Dynasty. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a lotus step and walked on the Nine Dragons in the void, and then slowly disappeared.

Everyone stood there stunned, they didn't expect things to turn out like this, what did this holy decree of the Son of Heaven mean? Is it to punish Li Leng, or to warn His Royal Highness the Third Prince? Even the palace sword could not see through the meaning of the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and stood there blankly for a while, unable to figure out a clue.

Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo smiled slightly, saw Gong Yijian still standing there blankly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Taiwei, you should take a good look!"

"You ......" Gong Yi's sword qi is not good, but there is no way to take him.

......

In northern Xinjiang, after Li Leng and the third prince received the holy decree, they said respectfully: "Receive the decree." ”

The third prince took the will, glanced at Li Leng with dissatisfaction, and after a long time, he said angrily: "I didn't expect that my father loved you so much, made such a big mistake, and didn't punish you at all." Even Yan Song, his father and emperor were not executed. He was not reconciled, but it was so, and he was furious and had to accept this reality.

It's just that such a good opportunity can't get rid of Li Leng, and the third prince knows very well in his heart that after returning to Chang'an City, Li Leng will definitely take revenge on him madly.

He sighed, worried about his future.
