Chapter 263 Interlocking

"Bang!"

As the wine splashed everywhere, Qiao Gongshan fell down in response.

Blood gushed out from the forehead, and the bronze wine cup rebounded into the air. Then it fell to the ground, and the foot of the cup was broken.

It can be seen how much force it is used this time.

"Nothing nonsense, nothing nonsense!" Li Yuan was so angry that he slapped the table. He still couldn't help but ignore the anger in his heart. He grabbed the wine pot and threw it over again.

This was the right thing and hit Qiao Gongshan's body lying on the ground.

Li Yuan lost his father since childhood and grew up alone. He knew that there was no pain of fatherly love. He also killed his sons and grandchildren due to the uprising. Out of various feelings, he had extraordinary feelings for his children, trusted, loved and even indulged them.

But the two people in front of him actually said that his eldest son, the crown prince of the dynasty, was about to rebel while reprimanding the country.

How can Li Yuan believe this and how dare he believe this!

No language could express the anger in his heart at this moment, like a crazy lion, roaring and roaring.

Qiao Gongshan climbed up and climbed up, "It's true! Your Majesty's Prince of the East Palace has already colluded with Governor Yang of Qingzhou to rebel. They are indeed ready to attack the imperial guards of Renzhi Palace at night... Your Majesty will be aware of it!" At this point, Qiao Gongshan knew that if he wanted to survive now, he had to continue to act, and the more he acted, the better.

He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and shouting.

The floor made of wooden boards made him smash the "dongdong" sound with his head. As he knocked, he knocked himself out and fell to the ground.

Erzhu Huan is not as good as Qiao Gongshan, and he is very good at speaking. He talks about what Qiao Gongshan said.

Now Qiao Gongshan was dizzy. He didn't know what he should say, so he made up his mind and roared: "I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it!" He followed Qiao Gongshan and started to knock on him.

Li Yuan really wanted to cut the two people in front of him into pieces, but another voice in his heart told him not to act recklessly. After all, he is the emperor, and what an emperor is most worried about is rebellion.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Pei Ji walked out with a calm face. Now it was his turn to show off. "This matter is extremely serious, regardless of whether it is true or false, and it should be investigated thoroughly."

Li Yuan suppressed his anger. He sat down and stared at Erzhu Huan with a cannibalistic gaze, but his tone eased a lot. He asked, "How did you know that the prince was plotting against...the rebellion?"

Erzhu Huan raised his head, a trace of blood flowed down his forehead, and a trembling voice said, "Go back to Your Majesty. The youngest... the youngest knows very much. It was something that happened to Xu Shimo when he was drinking. The captain Qiao Gongshan and Xu Shimo, the prince's servant, were drunk. The captain Qiao had a good relationship with Xu Shimo. Some time ago, he saw Xu Shimo's serious expression and was very worried. He thought something unpleasant had happened to him. So he pulled him to drink with him and wanted to comfort him. The wine was so high that Xu Shimo said excitedly, saying that he was about to become a minister of the dragon. He would be famous in history, saying that the prince had privately invested thousands of dead soldiers in Qingzhou and was preparing to attack the Phoenix Valley at night. The captain was scared at that time and did not dare to reveal a word. He and I were ordered to send weapons and armor to Governor Yang. He went all the way to the border of Qingzhou. The captain Qiao couldn't help but tell me the matter."

Erzhu Huan didn't dare to raise his head and continued, "I was stunned when I heard this news. Rebellion was a crime to kill the nine clans. I have old people above and young people below. I don't dare to do this great thing that is against the will of a hundred leopards. As soon as we decided, we went straight to here. Every sentence that the young people said was true, be clear, and your Majesty was clear."

quiet!

Li Yuan didn't say anything.

Pei Ji didn't say anything either.

Feng Deyi never spoke from the beginning.

Luo Shixin should be the same.

Li Yuan wanted to find out a little problem from what Erzhu Huan said to prove that he was lying.

But no!

If Erzhu Huan said that Li Jiancheng asked them to discuss or know the details of the entire incident, or heard it accidentally somewhere, he had a way to find out the false parts.

After all, just by Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan are not qualified to know about such a major event, and it is impossible to find a place to discuss it casually.

For this kind of question, it is the most important thing to tell where to tell the truth from.

But if you say the truth when you are drunk, it will be difficult to distinguish.

Li Yuan concentrating and pondering, repeatedly thinking about Er Zhu Huan's words, thinking of the words "The prince entrusted thousands of dead soldiers in Qingzhou", and suddenly something that happened a few years ago that he thought was extremely small: someone secretly sued Li Jiancheng for recruiting private soldiers and had a bad intention.

Stand up suddenly!

It was incredible to see it, and there was such deep sorrow.

Although he did not believe it at this moment, he had already believed it by 60%.

Luo Shixin looked at Li Yuan's sudden action and knew that he had thought of that thing.

This is Li Shimin’s true wiseness.

The foreshadowing was laid half a year ago.

Li Shimin could not have made a fool of himself, because his fool of himself was the result of today.

Half a year ago, someone gave Li Jiancheng a real evidence to sue Li Jiancheng for his ill-conspiracy, but Li Yuan did not believe it. He believed that there was no evidence, and everything was fake. Instead, he condoned Li Jiancheng's Changlin soldiers recruited privately. Half a year later, someone sued Li Jiancheng for intending to rebel. This time, there were both evidence and evidence: Erzhu Huan, Qiao Gongshan was witness, the weapons escorted along the way, and armor was physical evidence. If you did not intend to rebel, what reason was there to recruit additional private soldiers and need additional weapons and armor?

Even if there is no real evidence, there are still three people who become tigers, not to mention that the facts are all there, and there have been two consecutive incidents. Even if Li Yuan trusts Li Jiancheng, he can't help but start to doubt it in his heart.

This is even more of Li Shimin's cleverness. Li Shimin's false accusation against Li Jiancheng was fake, but the facts were true.

If Li Jiancheng did not recruit Turkic cavalry in the Eastern Palace, did not invest in the imperial palace with Changlin, did not recruit private soldiers in Qingzhou, did not transport armor to Qingzhou, and did not do all this, but meant treason, Li Shimin would not be able to catch his handle.

Now, Li Shimin's accusations against Li Jiancheng are true except for treason. Even Li Yuan wants to prove that his son has not rebelled, he cannot do it. Even Pei Ji and Li Jiancheng have a good deal, but he cannot do it even if he wants to speak for him.

At this time, a word suddenly came outside the house, General Xue Yong, the Right Guard, asked to see the general if there was an urgent matter.

Li Yuan was so upset about Li Jiancheng's incident that people interrupted him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and waved his hand to let him go.

Luo Shixin did not speak, but bowed to the guilty and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Shixin hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is a scholar outside who said that he would ask for an urgent matter to see Your Majesty. The matter is related to Your Majesty's safety." Luo Shixin's expression was serious.

Li Yuan's heart moved and linked the two things together. Seeing that Luo Shixin was here, he was not worried about safety and ordered: "Go and have someone invite that scholar."

Luo Shixin went out and ordered Xue Yong who was waiting for the news to bring the people.

The mouth of Phoenix Valley is a little distance from Renzhi Palace.

The atmosphere in Renzhi Palace was silent.

Li Yuan didn't know what to say, so he ordered Li Shimin and Pingyang to come together and told them the current situation.

"How is it possible! As the prince, how can the eldest brother rebellion?" Pingyang jumped up excitedly, looking at Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan with his eyes fiercely.

Li Shimin also said: "My son doesn't believe that the elder brother will rebel. Is there any misunderstanding?"

When Li Yuan saw that his son and daughter said this, he felt relieved and sighed: "The father is not very clear about the specific situation..." He was about to say it, and news came from outside that Du Feng asked for a meeting.

Li Yuan kept silent and asked someone to invite him in.

Du Feng is an elderly middle-aged scholar, wearing a dry Confucian uniform and wearing a Zhuge scarf. If he had a feather fan on his hand, he would have dressed up like Zhuge powder. It would have been no longer popular to wear Zhuge scarf, but the Tang Dynasty was full of rivers and had no particular attention to clothing and would not be surprised.

"Du Feng, a man from Ningzhou, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Du Feng bowed and greeted him with a hint of humility and arrogance.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Why are you talking about this Renzhi Palace?"

Du Feng said respectfully: "Reply to Your Majesty, the danger comes to Qingzhou. Caomin suspected that the Gregor Yang Wengan of Qingzhou was intended to be rebellious."

Li Yuan's heart trembled and asked, "How do you say this?"

Du Feng said: "Caomin's family lives near the Ningzhou Prefecture Office. In recent days, Ningzhou's official army has had a lot of movement. I heard that it was the Governor of Qingzhou who issued some instructions. It seems that there are signs of approaching Phoenix Valley. Their actions are very sneaky. Caomin is worried that it will pose a threat to His Majesty's safety, so I will remind you."

Li Yuan's eyes closed.

It is true that Yang Wengan is the governor of Qingzhou, but the governor of Qingzhou has a large area. Except for his resident Qingzhou, the surrounding Yuanzhou, Ningzhou, Binzhou and other places are under his command, just like the Great Wall north of the capital. Li Jiancheng is responsible for the northern defense line, and Yang Wengan is promoted to the position.

Renzhi Palace is located in the Phoenix Valley of Zhongnan Mountain, Fangzhou. Not far from the mountain to the north, then enters the boundary of Ningzhou, while Qingzhou is north of Ningzhou. If the governor of Qingzhou Yang Wengan really wants to send troops to attack Renzhi Palace, he must pass by Ningzhou, and Ningzhou's prefecture must also take action.

Du Feng's relationship happened to be in close confrontation with Erzhu Huan and Qiao Gongshan.

Three people become tigers!

Li Yuan didn't believe it once, he had doubts twice, and he found that he had to believe it three times.

Li Yuan kicked the case a few times, and the huge case was turned around. The fruits and food on the seats were sprinkled all over the floor. Then he sat in his seat in a daze, muttering in distractedness: "Caring, is it really the opposite?"

"No, no, my brother won't do this." Pingyang still didn't believe it.

"Erlang, what should you do about this?" Li Yuan asked his other son.

Li Shimin said: "Brother has always been kind, and my sons dare not believe that my brother will rebel. It is better to send someone to invite him to find out the reason."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "General, you will immediately send someone to Chang'an and pass on my order to invite the prince to Renzhi Palace. Then, just talk about the matter of preventing the Turkic in the autumn."

Everyone present knew in their hearts that Li Yuan really suspected Li Jiancheng, otherwise he would not have cited the excuse of being on guard against the Turks. (To be continued...)
