Chapter 803: The Secret Fight in the Hot Spring Palace

Outside the Sunrise Rice Shop, the sound of the people grabbing rice is rising and falling./x.

Cao Wen and Liu Mo were both there in the room, but they didn't say a word.

Cao Wen was silent for a long time before saying: "At this time, the sky in Chang'an is about to change, and it is impossible for the Qin Prince's Mansion to be exposed without any news. If there is no news at all, then there is only one possibility."

Liu Dudu asked, "What's the possibility?"

Cao Wen said: "A earth-shaking event must be brewing in the Qin Palace, so all the news was blocked, so we could not find any clues."

"You mean Li Shimin wants to rebel?" Liu Duo asked in dismay.

"It's not impossible." Cao Wen said in a deep voice.

"Then Cao, what should we do?"

Cao Wen said: "It's very simple. In the form of the most advanced secret order, we informed all the detailed works of the Wenwen Department in Chang'an City, mobilized them to monitor everything, and immediately sent a message to Youjing to report to Your Majesty's current situation in Chang'an."

"But we haven't confirmed it yet!" Liu Duonu hesitated.

"Even if there is a 30% chance, the news must be transmitted as soon as possible," Cao Wen said decisively, "You must know that the chaos in Li Tang is the best opportunity for our Zhao State, and we must not miss it."

At this time, a subordinate walked to the attic with a carrier pigeon and reported to Cao Wen: "Don't Cao, the carrier pigeon is urgently allowed."

The Zhao Army has heard that the reason why the Zhao army has developed rapidly in recent years has gained a lot of information in the Li Tang Dynasty, and the contribution of this pigeon is indelible.

The Luoyang Bureau, which specializes in spying on Li Tang's intelligence, raised pigeons at each base below for information exchanges. In addition to the pigeons, the Fengwen Department also recruited Turkic eagle slaves and used falcons to detect intelligence.

After taking the letter, Cao Wen frowned and asked, "Li Yuan summoned Yu Wenying and Li Shimin overnight? Then Yu Wenying left the Hot Spring Palace and headed north. What is the purpose?"

Liu Dudu replied: "Don't know that Yu Wenying is from the King of Qi, and Yang Wengan has old age. He must go to Qingzhou to recruit Yang Wengan. As long as Yang Wengan comes, Li Jiancheng will have more chances to clear his grievances."

Cao Wendian walked in place and suddenly said, "If Li Shimin knew that Yu Wenying was heading to Qingzhou, what would he do?"

Liu Du pondered: "I guess someone will be sent to kill Yu Wenying halfway. Then I will send someone to tell Yang Wen about the leaked incident, which will make him terrified and rebelled. In this way, Li Jiancheng will die without a place to die."

"I see."

In Chang'an, undercurrents surge.

Outside Chang'an, Yu Wenying and his party were riding fast horses on the way to Qingzhou. He was appointed by Li Yuan to recruit Yang Wengan.

The reason why he appointed Li Yuan was that he had a good relationship with Yang Wengan, and the two had a good relationship. On the other hand, it was because of Li Jiancheng's trust in him.

This time, Li Jiancheng entered the Hot Spring Palace and recommended Yu Wenying to Li Yuan to go to Qingzhou to stabilize Yang Wengan. Li Jiancheng sent Yu Wenying. It was because Yu Wenying was recommended by King Li Yuanji of Qi. Because Yu Wenying's younger brother Yu Wenbao was Li Yuanji's confidant. When Li Yuanji was named King Qi to guard Taiyuan, Yu Wenbao was the guardian of Li Yuanji's mansion.

Therefore, Yu Wenying naturally became Li Yuanji's confidant, and Yu Wenying also took advantage of this relationship to climb onto Li Jiancheng's ship.

Now Yu Wenying naturally knows the burden on her now. Whether she can persuade Yang Wengan to come to Qingzhou will be the key to whether she can prove Li Jiancheng's innocence. If Yang Wengan refused to come to Chang'an after learning that the matter was exposed and even raised troops to rebel, then Li Jiancheng would be in a state of no defense.

After Yu Wenying was sent by Li Yuan, she rushed on the road without stopping.

Just as he walked to a mountain pass, the guard neared the side suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"

The other party pressed Yu Wenying's body. But he saw a sharp arrow shot down from the mountains and shot a cavalry behind the horse.

"There is an ambush! Brothers, be careful." The Tang army guards were on guard together.

At this time, dozens of masked swordsmen rushed out from the top of the mountain. The Tang army guards shouted: "On the official road, you still dare to intercept the road and kill people. Do you still have the king's laws in your eyes?"

The threatening words of the Tang army guards were useless. The swordsmen did not say a word. Then they raised their bright long swords and rushed straight towards them.

The two sides fought on the official road. Yu Wenying was so scared that she was out of her mind. His legs trembled. Under the protection of two Tang army guards, she hid behind a big stone.

But the Tang army guards were chopped one after another, and there were not many masked swordsmen. Judging from the situation, even the elite Tang army guards were defeated by this swordsmen.

Just as Yu Wenying shouted that my life was over, the sound of horse hooves on the official road rang out, but a general arrived with dozens of county soldiers.

But when the general shouted, "I am the Marquis of Wu, and you and the thief who blocked the road will not get out of the way."

The masked swordsman turned a deaf ear to continue fighting, so the Wuhou led the county soldiers to join the battle. With the addition of this new force, the masked swordsman was defeated and was forced to retreat.

Seeing the situation reversed, Yu Wenying was surprised and happy and said, "Holy Marquis He Wu, arrest one or two survivors for me!"

But seeing that the masked swordsman was very tenacious and fought and retreated. After a while, only two wounded prisoners were captured, fifteen were killed on the spot, and the rest escaped.

Yu Wenying said to the horse-riding Hou He Wu, "Thank you, Mr. He Wu, for helping him!"

The Marquis of Wu, surnamed He, said immediately: "Don't thank you. I happened to receive a warning from someone from the public that there was a group of robbers here to rob, so I brought people to stroll around, but I didn't expect to encounter thieves robbing."

Yu Wenying secretly thanked for his good luck, but he didn't know that the reason why he was saved was the result of Feng Wensi's arrangement. Yu Wenying had no doubts at all and ordered people to question the two prisoners. However, one of the prisoners took advantage of the torture person not paying attention and robbed a knife, killed his companion first, and then committed suicide by slaughtering his sword.

This scene made Yu Wenying and others dumbfounded. Wu Hou, the surname He, couldn't help but wonder: "This bandit is so powerful that he would rather commit suicide than be captured."

Yu Wenying sneered: "Of course, if I'm not wrong, these people are not bandits, but dead soldiers in the Qin Palace!"

"Qin Prince's Mansion?"

Wu Hou, named He, was surprised. He didn't know that he was involved in such a high-level struggle. It is said that the disagreement between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince was no longer a matter of good land.

At the same time, on the other side, in the Hot Spring Palace, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin both stood in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at his two sons and didn't know who was telling the truth or who was telling the lies. But both sides had their own opinions and seemed to make sense.

Li Yuan said to the two of them: "How many times have I told you about it? In which family, there is no father and son against each other, and the brothers are in a turmoil, but there is no big grudge between father and son. Now that Li Chongji has destroyed the Turks, the next step is to use troops against me, Li Tang, but what about you brothers? They still fight endlessly all day long. This is not the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty, the King of Qin of my Tang Dynasty. According to my opinion, both of them are deposed by me, and they should be put under prison and reflect on me."

Hearing Li Yuan’s reprimand, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin knelt down together and said, “The father and son know that they are wrong, so please calm down.”

"Stop the anger, calm down, these words are always the same every time," Li Yuan coughed violently, and then said, "My illness has not yet been cured. You have come to me. I am not angry at the moment, but sad. I am afraid that the Queen of Heaven will be in the future and have no face to see your mother, Queen Dou. She told me before she died that I would watch you well and grow up safely. But now Sanniang doesn't even recognize her father. It's better not to mention it. Yuan Ji is impatient and cannot make a weapon. Xuanba died young. I am only there for you and I have high hopes on weekdays. But how can you two comfort your mother's spirit in heaven?"

Li Yuan said while Li Jiancheng was crying, while Li Shimin also lowered his head.

Li Yuan saw his two sons like this and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forgot it, it's better not to mention it. When Yang Wengan comes back from Qingzhou, everything will be discussed. You will live in the hot spring palace for me these days and reflect on it."

"Okay, father, son, and I will leave." Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin stood up together and left the hall. Dozens of guards were waiting for them.

"Second brother, it's time for this moment. Do you still want to compete with me for the position of the Eastern Palace?" Li Jiancheng shouted at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin turned around and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, Shimin doesn't understand what you said. We are both monarchs and ministers, and we are also flesh and blood. Someone is inevitably provoking them in front of our brothers. Please don't believe them. If we are in harmony, the one who is the last one is Li Chongjiu who deliberately creates conflicts with our brothers behind the scenes. Li Chongjiu is just a scene where my brothers are harmonious."

"Don't push all the mistakes on Li Chongjiu. How much do you want to wait for me, I understand very well."

Li Shimin heard this and said, "Your Highness, Shimin has no choice but to say so, but justice is in the hearts of the people. Shimin has always disdained to explain to others, but today I can make an exception and swear to heaven. I, Li Shimin, have no desire to spy on the position of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."

Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned when he heard Li Shimin say this, but obviously he did not trust him.

However, from the perspective of the guard, Li Jiancheng was aggressive, forcing Li Shimin to swear and confess his feelings. Such discussions were spreading quietly among the palace servants.

After Li Shimin returned to his yard, he was firmly monitored by nearby guards.

Li Shimin did not feel restrained at all, but instead practiced the words in his house. When it was time to have a meal, an eunuch came in and lowered his voice and said to Li Shimin: "King Qin, the villain is Xue Jieyu's man, I wonder if you still remember it."

Li Shimin didn't even look at it and said, "Remember."

"Concubine Xue Jie asked the King of Qin if he wanted to stay out, so that villains could work hard for the sake of a dog or a horse."
