Li Leng looked at the frightened Sunshine Lotus with a smile, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, Yang Shilang, I said that as long as you are really good for Datang, no matter what you say or do, I don't care." Whether it is peace or war, the final resolution has not yet been formed, and everyone can say what they want to say in their hearts and brainstorm ideas! If you want to govern the Tang Dynasty well and give everyone a good future for cultivation, then you must rely on everyone's collective efforts. I want everyone to remember this. Okay, are there any other different opinions? I'd like to hear them. After speaking, he sat back on the dragon chair, drank spiritual tea, and looked at everyone.

"The old minister thinks that war and peace can be used as a whole. Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo stood up, walked to the middle, bowed deeply to Li Leng, and said unhurriedly, "War is to promote peace, and peace is to avoid war." In the final analysis, the alliance of the six major vassal states is still a matter of interests. If the interests can be solved, then they will naturally not be monolithic. Therefore, the minister thought that it was possible to divide the different vassal states and adopt different strategies. For example, for the Great Han, we can negotiate peace, and for the Great Qin, we must fight to the death. This kind of differential treatment will divide the relationship between the six major vassal states, making them suspicious and wary of each other. Once they have these discordant factors, they will not do their best to attack my Datang. "A word to the point.

Many ministers of civil and military affairs nodded one after another, and they all thought that Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's words were very reasonable, and the combination of war and peace was to adopt a corresponding strategy for the relationship between different vassal states and the Tang Dynasty. Different relationships, different strategies, naturally, the effect is different. In the face of the fierce counterattack from the Tang Dynasty, those vassal states naturally hoped that the other vassal states would fully assist them militarily. But for those vassal states that negotiated peace with the Tang Dynasty, they were naturally reluctant to meet with the Tang Dynasty. Slowly accumulated, the various princes and parliaments were dissatisfied, and they became suspicious and wary. This is undoubtedly the best choice for Datang. With the least price, in exchange for the maximum benefit.

Someone jumped out immediately, it was Rao Desu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he was regarded as an older six-part scholar, and his cultivation was nine in the Yuanying Realm, and his strength was very strong. Rao Desu respectfully bowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the prime minister said is a good way to deal with it. On this basis, Your Majesty should immediately send an envoy to the relevant vassal states to let them know the true thoughts and intentions of our Datang. war, our Datang will accompany them to the end, and, we Datang can also sit down and have a good talk with them. For those vassal states with wolf ambitions, every warrior in our Tang Dynasty will not be afraid, and we have decided to fight them to the death. Chen believes that after such an operation, the alliance of the six vassal states will naturally not exist, and the Tang Dynasty will turn the corner. This matter is very important, and I also ask Your Majesty to make an arbitrary decision as soon as possible to correct the national prestige of our Tang Dynasty. With that, he retreated back to his place.

The minister also felt that what the prime minister said was indeed a good policy. Cai Xiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked out, he was the person who was pulled up by Li Leng, and he was the most senior team around Li Leng, and he was also loyal to Li Leng, knelt down and said very respectfully, "The minister once served as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and he also knows the situation of various countries better. The minister asked Ying, who was originally an envoy, to send an envoy to the vassal states in place of His Majesty. ”

"Cai Shangshu is loyal and capable, I know it, let's get up first!" Li Leng smiled and let Cai Xiang get up, leaned on the dragon chair slightly, his state seemed a little relaxed and natural, and said lightly, "However, at the moment, you are the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and you have a heavy responsibility, so you can't go to the vassal states as an envoy." Okay, are there any dissenting opinions? Everybody's saying that's good, and I've heard a lot of real voices, which is good. But that's not enough, I want to hear more so that I can ...... You can learn more about what you didn't know. ”

"Your Majesty...... The younger brother thinks that this kind of strategy of war and peace, if it was placed in the past, it would be better, but now, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. The third prince suddenly stood up, in terms of age, he is Li Leng's imperial brother, but Li Leng is the son of heaven, he can't be raised, according to the rules of the royal family, he can only surrender himself to the imperial brother. The third prince has always been brave and resourceful, and has a long-term vision, so his prestige in the court is also very high. At the beginning, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the eighth prince, and the third prince were the most qualified to compete for the throne. It's just that everyone didn't expect that in the end, it was Li Leng, who has always been unfavorable, who won the final victory. No matter how unconvinced he is, he must face the reality at this time and admit Li Leng's identity as the Son of Heaven.

"Why is there trouble now?" Li Leng's eyes sank, and the fox finally showed its tail, but he still pretended to be gentle on his face, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he asked lightly, "I don't know what the third emperor brother has a good plan?"

The third prince said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the reason why the six major vassal states formed an alliance to attack my Tang Dynasty this time is mainly because of the civil strife of our imperial family and the harm of the demon clan. They think that our Datang has become a gathering place for the demon clan, so they want to attack my Datang together. Therefore, the minister thinks, first, find out the real mastermind behind the demons, and kill them in public, in the name of Zhengmei Datang. Second, send an envoy to negotiate peace directly with the six major vassal states, and the minister is willing to be this envoy to show that our Tang royal family is united. There is one thing, we have already found out, now, report to the Son of Heaven, ask the Son of Heaven to decide?"

"What's the matter?" Gonggong Chen walked down slowly, took the fold from the hands of the third prince, and then respectfully handed it to Li Leng. Li Leng asked as he opened the fold. After looking at it for a long time, Li Leng's face turned to the side, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The third prince said: "The minister has ascertained that Qin Yanran, who is beside His Majesty, is the holy daughter of the demon clan. In the first few palace rebellions, she was there. The minister implored Your Majesty to kill Qin Yanran and exchange her head for the peace of my Tang Dynasty. With that, get down on your knees.

"You fart!" Old Man Qin Huo Ran got up and said angrily, "Your Majesty, this is slander, Chiguoguo's slander." My granddaughter Qin Yanran is a descendant of my Qin family, do you want to say that my Qin family also colludes with the demon clan? Third prince, you are too ridiculous. Who doesn't know how many children of my Qin family have died in the hands of the demon clan, it can be said that my Qin family and the demon clan are undying enemies. But today, you actually said that my descendants of the Qin family are some saints of the demon clan, and you want to get rid of my Qin family, are you too anxious?"

"Yes or no, old man, do you know better than I do. Haven't you found a clue?" the third prince sneered and said unhurriedly, "I don't believe you didn't see the clue. The relationship between Qin Yanran and the demon clan is not a matter of one or two days, the old man is such a shrewd person, he can hide it for a day or two, but after a long time, he can't hide it from you at all. All, Your Majesty, the minister felt that it was not only necessary to kill Qin Yanran, but also to cure the crimes of the Qin family. Even if there is no evidence to prove that the Qin family has any collusion with the demon clan, if they don't report it, it is enough to punish them. As long as we do this, the six vassal states will naturally withdraw their troops, and the crisis of our Datang will be solved. Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible and return my Datang peace. "The attitude is very firm.

"You talk nonsense. Old Man Qin shouted angrily, "Slandering my Qin family like this, Third Prince, what do you mean? Do you want to uproot my Qin family? Hmph, you are too anxious, Your Majesty will not be in such a position as you." ”

The third prince smiled coldly, he deliberately said Qin Yanran's identity, not expecting Li Leng to execute Qin Yanran immediately, but to gradually divide the people around Li Leng through this matter, so that Li Leng gradually lost the support of the Tang Dynasty civil and military officials and the hearts of the world's monks. He wished that Li Leng would not kill Qin Yanran and kill Qin Yanran, but Li Leng became active, and he became passive. Of course, if Li Leng made a move and killed Qin Yanran, then he would be tantamount to completely breaking off the relationship with the Qin family, and it would also be a very good situation for him. No matter what the final result is, he has already thrown out the bait that should be thrown, and next, it's up to Li Leng.

"Your Majesty, is the minister talking nonsense, it is clearly written on the fold, and Your Majesty will be clear at a glance. The third prince didn't smile, he was determined to make Li Leng ugly, and said word by word, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision to correct my heart of the Tang Dynasty." Looking directly at Li Leng on the high platform.

Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's face changed, he didn't expect that this matter was actually investigated by the third prince, didn't that embarrass the Son of Heaven? This third prince is really menacing! As soon as he made a move, he grasped the key point. He wanted to relieve the siege for the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, he sat down again. Right now, it's also an opportunity for him. No matter whether Qin Yanran is executed or not, Li Leng can't accept Qin Yanran as the queen, which means that the Qin family has lost its last chance. Of course, things must be within the scope of control, and the three princes must not be allowed to force the emperor to abdicate. That was not only a huge loss for Datang, but also a huge loss for his Zhou family. It can be considered for the interests of the Zhou family, but it must not sacrifice the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the interests of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, he sat on the side, looked at the three princes coldly, and thought of a way to solve it.

Shi Shiyong was furious and shouted: "Third Prince, what do you mean by persecuting the Son of Heaven like this!? Do you want to eliminate dissidents through this matter?" He is a military general, and he is also loyal to the Son of Heaven, not as much as Zhou Wenbo, he will say whatever he thinks, in order to protect the Son of Heaven, he is willing to die, and he can't see the Third Prince coercing the Son of Heaven so much.

The third prince sneered: "He is the Son of Heaven, I am a minister, how can a minister persecute the Son of Heaven." It's just that the demon saintess is openly by the side of the Son of Heaven, what if it endangers the safety of the Son of Heaven? General Shi, are you responsible, or am I responsible? ”

"Oh, is it?" Li Leng unhurriedly flipped through the folds in his hand, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "The Third Emperor Brother said that he had found a witness and had sufficient evidence, so why didn't he let the witness come up? There will be a special symbol on the body of the demon saintess, and with this special symbol, there is a chance that she is a demon person. Anyway, Xuan Qin Yanran came in. Also, let that witness go to the temple with him, I ...... Let them confront each other. Today's matter, since it involves me, then I will investigate it to the end. Brother Sanhuang, what do you think?"

Zhou Wenbo said: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to make a hasty decision because of your words! I believe that if you have sufficient evidence and witnesses, the Son of Heaven will definitely make the right decision after knowing the truth." ”

"Okay, then I'll bring the witnesses. "The third prince ordered someone to bring witnesses, it was Qin Yanran's personal maid in the Qin Mansion, she used to follow Qin Yanran's side every day for a period of time, and knew a lot of things about Qin Yanran. The maid knelt on the main hall, panicked, especially when she saw so many big guys looking at her, she was even more frightened, her brain was blank, and she was very nervous.

Qin Yanran also entered the main hall, she didn't say a word, and knelt quietly beside the maid. When the maid saw Qin Yanran, her face turned very pale, and she called out meaningfully: "Miss." But Qin Yanran didn't even look at her, just knelt quietly.

"Brother Sanhuang, everyone, is in the main hall, if there is anything you want to ask, you can ask on the spot. Li Leng tapped his fingers on the dragon chair, with a disdainful sneer on his face, and said, "Since you said that the woman next to me is a member of the demon clan, then I will definitely find out." ”

He used the women around him, not the people around him, which made Qin Yanran, who was originally silent, raise her head in surprise, looking at Li Leng with complicated eyes, and slowly, her calm face bloomed with a bright smile, and her eyes were full of deep tenderness.

"I will not disappoint Your Majesty. The third prince said word by word, "You tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes, I, I said. The maid's body trembled, and she said the matter one by one, "There is a very hideous pattern on the body of the young lady, and that pattern is the totem of the demon race. Also, Miss's cultivation is very evil, and it is also very powerful, I once secretly watched Miss cultivate, like a demon cultivator. ”

"Anything else?" asked Li Leng very easily and calmly.

The maid thought for a while and said, "Also, Miss has to go out every once in a while. Sometimes it's a month or two, sometimes it's three or four months. Every time we go out, we Datang will have an incident of demon invasion. ”

"Is there anything else? is that all?" asked Li with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, isn't that enough?" the Third Prince asked angrily.
