Chapter seven hundred and forty first inside story
“This is impossible.”
Li Xun shook his head and asked Wang Qili with the imperial edict: "Where did you get this fake imperial edict?"
The content of the imperial edict was to abolish the throne of Prince Zhao Xun, and the throne was inherited by Zhao He.
When Li Xun saw this imperial edict, his first reaction was that the imperial edict was fake, but Li Xun looked at it several times with the imperial edict. It was indeed written by Zhao Zhi himself. Of course, the handwriting can also be imitated.
Wang Qili glanced at Li Xun, and then began to talk to himself: "Eight days ago, the emperor suddenly secretly summoned me, gave me this imperial edict, and asked me to enter the palace with the imperial edict the next day. At that time, the emperor will summon all the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and some other ministers to discuss at this time."
Li Xun frowned and said nothing. As the Sili Captain, Wang Qili had a gold medal given by Zhao Zhi, so he could go directly to the palace to meet the saint without reporting.
Li Xun still didn't believe it: "The emperor has always favored the crown prince and Concubine Li. If the crown prince is deprived of the position of crown prince and handed over to Zhao He, how can the crown prince and Concubine Li handle themselves in the future? With the emperor's favor for them, it is impossible not to take this into consideration."
Whether it is Zhao Xun or Zhao He, any of them who received the throne will definitely not let each other go. With Zhao Zhi's favor to Zhao Xun and Li Yi, would he be so ruthless and cruel to the people he loved?
"The Emperor has already considered this."
Wang Qili said in a deep voice: "The emperor is preparing to grant all the lands of the Western Regions and the seven states in the western Longyou to the crown prince and establish another country."
Hearing this, Li Xun's whole body shook suddenly, and a look of horror flowed out of his eyes. This is true, and the truth makes sense. The two places in the Western Regions and the seven western Longyou prefectures, combined with a vast territory, are already comparable to half of the Central Plains. Zhao Zhi granted these two places to Zhao Xun as a vassal state, and his territory and strength are indeed enough to protect himself.
At this time, Sima Tu and Chen He arrived. They walked to the door and did not rush in. Instead, they looked at Li Xun with a look of inquiries. If it was inconvenient, they would turn around and leave immediately.
Li Xun pondered for a moment, then waved to the two people outside the door and signaled them to come in.
Wang Qili glanced at Sima Tu and Chen He, without saying a word, without saying anything.
Sima Tu glanced at the imperial edict in Li Xun's hand and bowed and said, "Lord, is there an order from the palace?"
Li Xun frowned and looked at them without saying a word.
Chen He bowed and smiled, "General Li, everyone is here and I'm having tea in the front hall. Why not go to entertain one or two first and wait for the general to arrive."
Chen He has not been in favour of Li Xun for a long time. At this moment, there may be some hidden secrets. Li Xun doesn't want too many people to know that Sima Tu is his confidant, so there is no problem. Maybe he is still a little short of it, so it's better to leave voluntarily to avoid embarrassment from everyone.
Li Xun waved his hand, but he didn't mean that.
Li Xun stood up and walked over, handed the imperial edict in his hand to Sima Tu: "You can see it for yourself."
Sima Tu took the imperial edict and watched carefully with Chen He and the others, while Li Xun was walking around there, looking sad and sighing in his heart. This matter came one after another, and it was not a trivial matter. If one was not handled properly, it would cause big trouble, which made Li Xun really bored.
Li Xun regrets a little now. He really shouldn't have seen Wang Qili. He has already believed in this imperial edict in his heart, but no matter whether the imperial edict is true or false, it is too late to say anything. In the final battle last night, Zhao Xun won the final victory and was about to ascend the throne to the emperor. Zhao He, as a rebel, will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever. The whole thing has been finalized and there will be no change.
Wang Qili is now holding this imperial edict to himself, and Li Xun feels that he is too big. This is a troublesome and a very big trouble. Once Zhao Xun knows, he may not be able to explain it clearly, and it will definitely arouse Zhao Xun's deeper suspicion and hatred for him.
After Sima Tu and Chen He read the imperial edict, their faces showed shock and horror. Sima Tu put away the imperial edict, took a few breaths, then quickly walked to the door, and instructed Hua Shaosheng: "You are guarding the people around Qingsan, no one is allowed to get close to you."
Hua Shaosheng nodded and hurriedly went to do it.
Sima Tu returned and said to Wang Qili: "You are the Sili Captain Wang Qili?"
Wang Qili nodded and said, "It's Wang Qili."
Sima Tu looked at Wang Qili coldly and said in a deep voice: "Do you know how much trouble it will bring to us when you come here with this imperial edict?"
Wang Qili remained silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Apart from General Li, I don't know who else can help me."
Chen He sneered at this time: "You should understand in your heart that no one can help you."
Li Xun stopped, looked at Wang Qili, and said in a low voice: "Wang Qili, you should understand that no matter whether there is this imperial edict or not, I will not have any unfair intentions towards the prince. If you come to me, I have to say that it is a very stupid decision."
Wang Qili smiled bitterly and said, "General Li, I came to you not for myself. I understand in my heart that no one can help me. Even without this imperial edict, I may not be able to live long."
Zhao Zhi established the Sili School Guards in order to avoid the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice and other judicial yamen, completely control a force in his own hands, and then began to forcefully organize and purify the court, and also to leave a force to strike and intimidate the court after Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne.
The Sili School Guard's Office was not established for a long time, and it took only more than half a year. After Wang Qili took office as the Sili School Guard, he directly obeyed Zhao Zhi. At the beginning of the Sili School Guard's Office, Wang Qili was ordered by Zhao Zhi and did several major things in a row. Hundreds of officials were attacked and detained, and the government and the country were shocked. Just when everyone thought that Zhao Zhi would make the political storm worse and worse, the whole situation suddenly stopped. Wang Qili and the Sili School Guard's Office where he was located began to become low-key and quiet, and in the next few months, there was no action.
Zhao Zhi's attitude suddenly changed, and there must have been a huge change. Li Xun thought about it now. Perhaps at that time, Zhao Zhi had the idea and intention to change the prince for some reason, otherwise the whole situation would not have undergone such a big change.
Chen He asked, "Wang Qili, do anyone know you are here?"
Wang Qili said silently: "Because of Wang Fan's affairs, my appearance was destroyed. Since then, I have always been wearing a mask in front of others, and no one knows me. When I came here, the capital had just experienced a huge change. It was a time of chaos and would not attract the attention of others."
Sima Tu looked at Wang Qili coldly, then said to Li Xun: "Lord, leave Wang Qili behind, maybe..."
Li Xun remained silent. He knew Sima Tu's meaning and killed someone to silence him.
Wang Qili naturally understood what Sima Tu meant, but his expression did not change at all. He just lowered his head and said silently. Obviously, before coming to find Li Xun, Wang Qili had already made psychological preparations. No matter what Li Xun made or decide, he would not resist at all.
