This is actually an opportunity for Lian Zhan.

If he wants to regain power, he must wash away the grievances of the past.

"I, Lian Zhan, swear to God that I have never betrayed the Wu Dynasty or been suspected of collaborating with the enemy. It is all because of the malicious instigation of a group of thoughtful people in the imperial court!"

Li Yunxing had already expected this, and Liu Zhongqing would never let him return to politics so easily.

As soon as Lian Zhan finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to retort: ​​"General Lian is so ridiculous. Now that your military power has been reduced, you still dare to keep shouting the word "Wu Dynasty"?"

The person who spoke was none other than the doctor, Zhao Gao.

Just now the prince asked Lian Zhan to take his guards to Jingzhou.

If this goes back and forth, half of his military power may be divided by Lian Zhan. How could Zhao Gao be willing to sit back and watch this happen?

Lian Zhan looked at that person coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Zhao Gao also looked directly at Lian Zhan without fear, his eyes full of ridicule and ridicule, as if he didn't take Lian Zhan seriously at all.

"I started practicing martial arts at the age of six. I was drafted into the army at the age of twelve. At the age of twenty-five, I went to the battlefield and killed hundreds of barbarians. I have served in the army for many years and made countless contributions to the Wu Dynasty. I was even personally named a general to protect the country by the emperor!" Lian!

Zhan throws the floor loudly.

"The traitor forged a letter about me collaborating with the Huns and submitted it to the emperor in order to frame the loyal ministers! If at that time, I am again deceived by the rumors and lead my troops to leave the border, I am afraid that the three thousand soldiers under my command will be chilled and think that

I am really a sinner who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country!"

"Although I, Lian Zhan, have lost power, I am not a clay puppet that you can bully."

Lian Zhan's words were sonorous, powerful and resounding.

The military attachés present were all excited when they heard this, and wished they could avenge Lian Zhan.

This is also the prestige that Lian Zhan has accumulated over the years. It cannot be erased at will with just one mouth.

When Liu Zhongqing saw this, his face suddenly darkened.

Lian Zhan's statement is indeed very reasonable and in line with the current situation.

If someone hadn't deliberately framed the case, how could the dignified general protecting the country be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly sighing at Lian Zhan's ability.

With such boldness and courage, he is worthy of being the God of War of the Wu Dynasty.

"These old stories are, in the final analysis, nothing more than a letter from the Huns. How can they be counted?"

Zhao Gao was very unhappy, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be too partial. What a grave crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, but it was so easily wiped out by the Crown Prince."

Li Yunxing's eyebrows moved and his eyes glanced at Zhao Gao with a warning look.

"Zhao Gao, you were once a general under Lian Zhan. Now that you oppose General Lian's re-entry into the court, are you being ungrateful?"

Everyone knows what kind of temper Lian Zhan is.

Most of the civil servants in the DPRK were of Liu Zhongqing's faction, but it was undeniable that they also admired General Lian in their hearts.

What happened back then has always been an unsolved case, and no one knows what happened.

Emperor Wu's attitude towards Lian Zhan is even more confusing, which shows that there must be something fishy in it.

If Zhao Gao, a mere ordinary minister, had not been recommended to the court by Lian Zhan, he would have spent his whole life hanging around on the front lines and would have had no chance of becoming an official in the capital.

Moreover, Lian Zhan has always been clear about rewards and punishments. He is not like other civil servants who like to form small groups and form cliques.

Zhao Gao couldn't wait to stand up, obviously because he wanted to curry favor with Liu Zhongqing and seek benefits for himself.

"Not yet." Zhao Gao lowered his head and faced Lian Zhan shamelessly.

It is true that Lian Zhan was kind to him.

Li Yunxing said with his hands behind his back: "Then tell me, is it true that General Lian Zhan once resisted the Huns in southern Xinjiang and forced them back thousands of miles?"

Zhao Gao raised his head with a hesitant expression: "It's true."

"General Lian originally had 300,000 troops under his command, but he abandoned the military and followed Wen at the order of Emperor Wu. Is this true?!"

Every time Li Yunxing asked a question, he would go down a step.

The prince's majesty put great pressure on Zhao Gao.

There was sweat on his forehead, but he still managed to answer: "Yes..."

"In that case, is it true that General Lian has never formed a party for personal gain in the ten years he has been in the capital?"

Zhao Gao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded reluctantly: "Yes, it's true..."

Zhao Gaonai was the Lang Zhongling and was in charge of the imperial guards of the capital.

But even Emperor Wu never put such great pressure on him.

The closer Li Yunxing came, the more dizzy he became.

Just like walking in the desert under the scorching sun, Li Yunxing is the scorching sun, dazzling.

It left him unable to escape, even a little suffocated.

However, Li Yunxing asked: "Did you do it to prevent the refugees from entering the city?"

This question is even more tricky.

Zhao Gao blurted out without even thinking: "Yes, it's me."

This was above the main hall. Zhao Gao didn't expect that he would blurt out the words. When he realized it, it was already too late.

The cold sweat on his forehead instantly turned into a waterfall and trickled down.

"No! No!"

Zhao Gao opened his mouth to explain, but saw everyone around him looking at him with strange eyes.

Lian Zhan also hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is aware of this. I saw with my own eyes at the gate of the capital yesterday. The soldiers guarding the city not only did not allow the victims to enter, but also beat them with fists and kicks. Many old, weak, women and children,

Starved to death outside the city."

Li Yunxing raised a cold eyebrow, "Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, I have found a place for them to stay on the outskirts of the city. You can send the Tingwei Mansion to check it out."

"good!"

Li Yunxing immediately ordered: "Pass on this palace's decree and order the Tingwei Mansion to go to the capital immediately to investigate. If it is true, he will be dismissed from his post and considered guilty!"

"I accept the decree!"

Lian Zhan bowed and stepped back.

Zhao Gao, on the other hand, collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

He never expected that Li Yunxing would directly come to him and question him.

Only Liu Zhongqing knew in his heart that Li Yunxing and Lian Zhan were just acting.

Today, Li Yunxing is determined to support Lian Zhan in power, so the first step is to give Lian Zhan real power.

Unexpectedly, a northwest camp was not enough to satisfy the prince's ambition, and he actually extended his minions to the capital guards.

You must know that the imperial guards in the capital are composed of elite soldiers drawn from the entire Wu Dynasty. Each one of them is brave and good at fighting and has brilliant military exploits.

Even if there were no refugees, Li Yunxing would find other reasons to detain the garrison and take the opportunity to replace them with his confidants.

In this way, Li Yunxing could fully control the capital guards.

Li Yunxing did this just to pave the way for himself.

"A mere doctor dares to attack ordinary refugees. He is quite courageous." Li Yunxing glanced at him, then looked at the civil and military officials.

Li Yunxing said: "Dear ladies, do you think this move of the palace is reasonable?"

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

Everyone knelt down in unison to express their appreciation.

"General Lian cares deeply about the people, and his heart is commendable."
