Li Jiancheng knelt dejectedly in the front hall of Renzhi Palace, his face very ugly. Behind him, Wei Zheng in purple robe also knelt on the ground, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"Dalang, didn't you say that if I gave you a few more days, you would definitely be able to find the Xuanjia Cavalry that Erlang secretly hid in Jingzhao Mansion?"

His Majesty Li Yuan sat in his seat and looked at the two kneeling people below with a sarcastic expression.

"Now that so many days have passed, where is the Black Armor Cavalry that you two found?"

"Revelation to the Saint,"

Wei Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, cupped his hands and said with a look of shame.

"The King of Qin's tactics of using troops are unpredictable, and the black armored cavalry are indeed unparalleled. Although I found some clues, I still found nothing in the end. I speculate that the opponent has gone south in batches..."

"Oh! Went south in batches..."

His Majesty Li Yuan sneered, with a playful look on his face.

"But my capital is not Hebei. More than a thousand cavalry want to leave quietly. Without the cooperation of Zhechong Mansion along the way, it is impossible. Then Wei Qing, tell me that Erlang's Xuanjia went south.

Which path is it, and which Zhe Chong Mansion is cooperating with him?"

"this……"

Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed to the ground.

"I am incompetent and have not found where the Xuanjia Cavalry evacuated from?"

"Hehehe..."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, His Majesty Li Yuan sneered.

"It seems that Erlang is indeed better at using troops than you! Well, I won't ask about this matter. Then Wei Qing, tell me again, what are the clues of the Xuanjia Cavalry you found? Is it Erlang's camp or was it captured?

Did he not have time to take away the grain?"

"this……"

Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully.

"I discovered the hoof prints left by Xuan Jiaqi..."

Snapped!

Before Wei Zheng could finish what he said, Li Yuan with a cold face slapped several people on his face.

"Is this the clue you were talking about, Wei Qing? Some hoofprints... How do you know that they are the hoofprints left by Erlang's Xuanjia Cavalry? Could it be that Erlang also carved his name on the hoofs of Xuanjia Cavalry?

Can’t do it?”

"Qiqi Aye..."

Li Jiancheng, who was kneeling below, made a careful distinction.

"Because when the incident happened, Master Zhixuan of the Fahua Sect saw it with his own eyes."

"laugh……"

After hearing his words, His Majesty Li Yuan sneered.

"You can actually believe the monk's words. I must have been fooled back then to give you such a nickname...Okay! Since Dalang, you said that monk Zhixuan saw it with his own eyes, then bring him up and let him

Let him also tell me."

"The Saint of Enlightenment..."

Wei Zheng in the back lowered his head and kowtowed on the ground.

"It is said that the great monk Zhixuan was driven away by Xuan Jiaqi at that time, and his whereabouts are still unknown!"

"Hahaha……"

When he heard this, His Majesty Li Yuan suddenly became extremely angry and laughed.

"The physical evidence is the hoof prints on the ground, and the witness evidence is missing, so nothing was found in the end, right... Wei Qing, I thought you were a talent back then, but why are you so clumsy in your fraud now? Could it be that

After following Dalang for a long time, have you become too close to Zhu Zhechi?"

Then, His Majesty Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng and said coldly.

"Let me tell you, the thing is that Dalang saw Erlang defeated by the evildoer and lost his army, so he became evil and wanted to take this opportunity to collude with Yang Wenqian to plot rebellion. As a result, although my son was unkind, his

The subordinates were not disloyal, so you jumped over the wall and blocked Jingzhao in order to take a risk..."

"Aye, it's unfair!"

After hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's words, Li Jiancheng immediately kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and kept making distinctions in his mouth.

"The purpose of sealing off Jingzhao is really to capture Xuan Jiaqi, and the child has never thought of plotting rebellion. Otherwise, the child would not come to Renzhi Palace in person, and let Aye fall into disgrace. Please enlighten me, my child.

Unjustly accused…”

"shut up!"

His Majesty Li Yuan shouted, interrupting Li Jiancheng's words.

"Your Jingzhao has been blocked, and I have given you the time. Where is the Xuan Jiaqi you want to capture? And if I hadn't issued a secret edict to Sanniangzi, and my Fengnu had taken advantage of you not paying attention to directly

If you take control of Chang'an, you Da Lang will obediently come to Renzhi Palace. I'm afraid you have already pulled up the six leaders of the East Palace, coordinated with Yang Wenqian internally and externally, and attacked Renzhi Palace!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Li Jiancheng banged his head again and said.

"Haier himself never thought about rebellion, and Yang Wenqian also didn't plan to rebel..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the palace door, and then saw Liu Hongji hurriedly walking in from outside the palace, saluting with his hands clasped in fists, and saying anxiously.

"To report to the saint, I sent a spy to Gyeongju to report back. Yang Wenqian, the general manager of Gyeongju, publicly declared yesterday that the saint was instigated by a traitor to treat the prince harshly and shake the country's foundation. He is determined to rectify the source and raise an army to clear the emperor's side."

"What?"

After hearing the news, Li Jiancheng's reaction was even more exaggerated than His Majesty Li Yuan's.

"This is impossible, how could Yang Wenqian really rebel..."

"Da Lang, you heard wrong!"

As soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he heard Li Yuan say coldly from above.

"What Yang Wenqian said is that I treated you harshly, Dalang, so he wants to seek justice for you. This is not rebellion, but following the dragon..."

Hearing His Majesty Li Yuan's heart-wrenching words, Li Jiancheng's heart suddenly sank. He didn't dare to tell the difference and banged his head on the ground desperately.

"Aye, Ha'er really didn't conspire with Yang Wenqian...Hai'er doesn't know why he rebelled. Please keep an eye on it, Aye!"

"snort!"

Li Yuan snorted coldly, then turned to look at Liu Hongji.

"Liu Qing, what do you think about this matter?"

"Reporting to the saint, Yang Wenqian himself is certainly not worth mentioning, but I am worried that he will simply give up Qingzhou and collude with the Turks to go south to invade, knowing that he will definitely lose.

open……"

Liu Hongji had a little anxiety on his face.

"So this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If your Majesty allows it, I am willing to lead Nan Yayuan from the Imperial Guard northward to eliminate Yang Wenqian."

"no!"

As soon as Liu Hongji finished speaking, His Majesty Li Yuan shook his head without hesitation.

"The Imperial Guards of Yuancong are still responsible for the safety of Renzhi Palace and cannot be touched lightly. Let's do this, Liu Qing, send your horse back to Chang'an and inform Sanniangzi to immediately summon the flag and drum troops from Chang'an Road and Wannian Road.

The flag army went north to Gyeongju to put down the rebellion."

"yes!"

After Liu Hongji agreed, he turned around and was about to leave. Just when he had just taken two steps, he heard His Majesty Li Yuan say in a disgusted tone.

"Chen Fu, take this beast down with you, I don't want to see him now..."

…

After dark, in a side hall of Renzhi Palace, Li Jiancheng leaned against the wall blankly, looking at the moon outside the window, with a look of despair on his face.

If Wei Zheng couldn't catch Xuan Jiaqi, it can also be said that Erlang had a premeditated plan and evacuated immediately after rescuing Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan that day. In addition, he had many partisans in the army, so he made a mistake...

…

He was really puzzled by Yang Wenqian's rebellion!

Why did he want to rebel? And with the few men in his hands, how could he dare to rebel? Who gave him the courage?

Just when Li Jiancheng was leaning on the wall and thinking wildly, his vision suddenly blurred, and a gray shadow fell lightly from the roof of the side hall. He looked closely and found that it was a gray-robed monk in his thirties.

"Are you... the great monk Zhiwei of the Lotus Sect?"

Monk Zhiwei stood outside the window, clasped his hands and bowed slightly to Li Jiancheng.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"you……"
