The atmosphere in the palace is a bit quiet. Full version 520.????
Li Linfu stood with his bow and his eyes alert. The sage was looking at the bamboo paper presented by Wang Zhongsi with a playful look in his eyes.
"Li Jingzhong?"
Li Longji murmured, seeming to be amused by the name, and said, "Juro, let's take a look too."
The servant handed the bamboo paper to Li Linfu's hand.
Li Linfu looked at it and his eyes narrowed. It was strange that Wang Zhongsi would resort to such means to save himself. This was completely inconsistent with his understanding of Wang Zhongsi.
He had a guess in his mind because he thought of Xue Bai and Wang Zhongsi having a drink together and giving a speech last night.
"What does Juro think?"
“The old minister is really surprised. Wang Zhongsi has always had a close relationship with the prince, but this time he actually wrote a letter to accuse the people around the prince. I wonder if there is something hidden?”
Li Longji did not ask for his opinion, but said directly: "Since the person who dared to kill people in Beijing is an old soldier of Longyou, the case will be handed over to Wang Zhongsi to investigate, find out the evidence, and finalize the case as soon as possible."
Li Linfu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back and asked: "Dare you ask the sage about the border town?"
Li Longji did not answer immediately, and his eyes fell back on the bamboo paper. This time, he was not looking at the writing on it, but the paper.
Just yesterday, Yang Zhao dared to publicly claim at the imperial banquet that Hu Er wanted to covet the post of Hedong Jiedushi...
"Hexi and Longyou are at war with Tubo, and the commander-in-chief change has been arranged in advance. Shuofang and Hedong have nothing to do for the time being, so there is no rush. Let me think about it slowly."
“I obey the decree.”
Li Linfu understood Li Longji's intentions and would not believe that Wang Zhongsi's position had changed just because of a letter, and that the Jiedushi of the four towns would definitely resign. Only the treatment of Wang Zhongsi might be different.
Outside the main building of Qinzhengwu, Wang Zhongsi waited for a long time, and finally a servant arrived: "General Wang, the saint is discussing state affairs with the right minister, and it is not convenient to summon you to meet him for the time being. As for what General Wang said in the letter... the saint ordered
You find the evidence and give an explanation to the officials."
"Thank you, my official."
“I also asked the general to go to Beiya to find General Chen Xuanli and dispatch manpower to help the general supervise the case.”
"Comply with the decree."
Wang Zhongsi understood, took the decree and left Xingqing Palace.
Xue Zhai.
The main house has been decorated by Qinglan in a different way.
She was very worried because Xue Bai was drunk outside, so she couldn't help complaining a few words, thinking in the tone of a concubine: "My husband has such a low drinking capacity, what if he is drunk outside, no one takes care of him, and catches a cold"
?
“The amount of alcohol has increased a bit.”
"I don't believe it." Qing Lan already dared to annoy Xue Bai and said, "Let me... that day, I will give you a glass of wine to see if you are drunk."
“What day? What kind of wine should I drink?”
“I won’t tell Lang Jun. Anyway, I will go back to Du’s house and Lang Jun will come to pick me up.”
Actually, what I’m talking about is some etiquette of taking a concubine. Qinglan wears many hats and is busy arranging the arrangement process of the new house. It seems like she is taking in herself.
Xue Bai saw her hard-working yet shy look, and was amused when he suddenly heard the announcement.
“Mr. Lang, I have a visitor asking to see you. I call myself Wang Xiu, Yuan Zai.”
“I’m going to meet you. For the latest chapter, please go to [全~本520read], please remember our website: ｓ５20.co”
Xue Bai left for a while, but came back again.
Qinglan was putting flowers on the bronze mirror. When she heard the movements, she couldn't help but asked, "Why is Mr. Lang back?"
"I have something to tell you. Do you remember the eunuch Li Jingzhong who tricked us into burying him alive?"
“Remember, Lang Jun, what’s wrong?”
“Today’s revenge, do you want to go and see it?”
Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Um?"
"I am a little girl, I just like to watch revenge, and I don't hate him very much." Qing Lan looked up at the decorations she had arranged, and whispered: "It was in the tank that we had this marriage...
.Marriage.
Xue Bai didn't know what was going on in this girl's mind.
She won’t go, but he will definitely go.
It’s not that he was petty, but that he personally eliminated Li Jingzhong, which was a powerful force for those who knew about it.
This kind of authority reflects his power better than his official position2
Shaoyangyuan.
Zhang Ting's life was pretty much the same every day. In the afternoon, he would sit by the window, hugging his cat, and listen to his slaves reporting news about Chang'an City.
“I have asked Mr. Li and it seems that His Highness did not listen to Er Niang’s suggestion.”
"Sure enough."
Zhang Ting frowned slightly, because Li Heng originally promised to push Li Jingzhong out and close the case, but seeing that Li Jingzhong was still doing things as usual, she had doubts in her heart.
What's more, she also noticed the scene where Wang Zhongsi broke up unhappy after meeting Li Heng.
When I asked Li Mi today, it turned out to be true.
Zhang Ting put down the cat and went to find Li Heng again.
“Why is Your Highness so disobedient?”
"Ting Niang, you have been taken advantage of." Li Heng said: "After listening to them, the Yang Party will not guarantee the military power of the sworn brother.
As long as the prince has a good reputation, he will have generals to submit to him."
He seemed to have recovered from his illness. He stood up, took out a book from the bookshelf himself, opened it, and said softly: "Let me teach Niang Ting how to read it."
"What's this?"
"List." Li Heng said: "I have been running Shuofang for a long time, so why do I only have a sworn brother to help me in the army? It is true that I will suffer heavy losses this time, but thanks to the sage's reuse of the king, I, the crown prince, are still popular among the people."
Zhang Ting finally understood and asked: "Your Highness has a back-up plan, so he may not need Wang Zhongsi."
You and I as husband and wife just need to know."
Li Heng patted Zhang Ting's back gently and comforted her a few words to prevent her from losing confidence in the future of the East Palace.
At this time, there was another noise from the front yard. This was the third time in recent days. Wang Zhongsi had barged in the previous two days, but I don’t know who it was this time.
“Your Highness, General Wang is here again!”
“Sworn brother?” Li Heng knew Wang Zhongsi’s temperament very well and couldn’t help being extremely surprised. “How can I meet my adopted brother? Let him come to see me as soon as possible.”
"Your Highness, General Wang is... here with the Longwu soldiers, saying he is here to handle a case, and has escorted Mr. Li to the front yard."
"impossible."
Li Heng didn't believe it, so he immediately strode out and saw Wang Zhongsi directing the Longwu Army to search Li Jingzhong's residence. Updated faster xs520.

“What are you doing, brother-in-law?”
“Your Highness, I have been ordered to investigate the case, and please forgive me.”
"That's enough." Li Heng pulled Wang Zhongsi over and whispered: "It's all over here. My sworn brother has just conquered Shibao City and made great achievements. Even if he is not the governor of the four towns, he can be promoted to a high official.
, why do you have to force me to this point? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to see a figure in his peripheral vision...it turned out to be Xue Bai.
Xue Bai was standing next to Yuan Zai. He was here today as a witness. When he saw Li Heng turning his eyes, he nodded politely.
Li Heng was caught off guard by this small action and panicked for a moment.
He forgot to talk to Wang Zhongsi, so he took a few steps forward and heard Xue Bai and Yuan Zai talking.
“This is my third visit to the Prince’s Courtyard. It was Li Jingzhong who hosted me the first time.”
This sentence may have no problem in the ears of others, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Li Heng. He wished he could give himself a slap in the face to let him know that everything was just a dream.
Xue Bai persuaded Wang Zhongsi and asked Wang Zhongsi to go to the prince's courtyard to get Li Jingzhong with his own hands? Such a situation could only happen in a dream.
“General, there’s a fire!”
“Li Jingzhong burned the evidence!”
“The traces of Li Jingzhong were found!“
With these shouts, things began to happen one after another.
Wang Zhongsi didn’t seem to be here to investigate the case, but rather to fight. Sergeant Longwu quickly put out the fire in Li Jingzhong’s house and went to the backyard to capture Li Jingzhong. “Go quickly, don’t let anyone escape!”
Li Heng was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "This is the residence of the crown prince of a country, and you dare to frame it openly.
The next moment, Wang Zhongsi pulled him over and said again: "I want to control Hedong and protect the Tang Dynasty. You believe me.
Li Heng didn't care to listen to this at all, for fear of being framed by Long Wu's army, he continued to step forward to stop him.
Zhang Ting hurriedly followed Li Heng, and not long after, he heard screams coming from the side yard.
When I caught up, I saw a group of Longwu troops surrounding Li Jingzhong and forcing him into a corner.
There were already people among them with their bows and arrows ready. They listened to the sound of the bowstring being pulled at a close distance and watched the arrows shining brightly.
Looks very scary.
What is surprising is that Li Jingzhong actually holds a single sword in his hand.
No one knows where the sword came from. There is no such thing in the Prince's Courtyard.
Li Jingzhong himself didn’t know why there was a knife placed in the corner. Being cornered, he had no choice but to use it in an attempt to scare away the soldiers.
He was extremely frightened and shouted: "Don't come over! It's not me, you are framing me!"
“You still dare to resist? Tell me, did you secretly raise the old soldiers of Longyou after Huangfu Weiming’s death?”
“I.I didn’t!”
"Put down the knife!"
Li Jingzhong actually wanted to throw away the single sword in his hand for a long time, but because he was too frightened and could not lose this reliance, he could only cry: "It's really not me, I'm just a slave serving others."
Suddenly, he looked up and saw Xue Bai. His pupils trembled as if he had seen a ghost.
"you!"
He recalled that afternoon, walked through the corridor, trotted up to the young man and the maid, smiled apologetically and asked them to enter the big tank, and told the old soldiers of Longyou to deal with them.
At that time, he never thought that the other party would push him to this point. Maybe Xue Bai had been trapped and killed underground, and it was a ghost who came out to take revenge. Only ghosts can have this ability.
“Have you ever secretly communicated with Pei Mian?!”
“Did you send Hui who died on the outskirts of Chang’an?!”
As questions came one after another, Li Jingzhong finally found that he could not defend himself.
"I don't!"
He yelled, look, and suddenly rushed towards Xue Ri,
If he is bound to die and cannot harm His Highness, then before he dies, he should kill the evil ghost Xue Bai for Your Highness.
Li Jingzhong was frightened out of his mind, and became even crazier. With a ferocious smile on his face, he swung his knife and struck at Xue Bai.
“Pfft.”
Wang Zhongsi caught up with him in two steps, grabbed the sword from the soldier's hand, and slashed with the sword. The series of movements were actually faster than Li Jingzhong's slash.
Li Jingzhong’s sword was still in the air, while Wang Zhongsi’s sword had cut off his head.
It means beheading, beheading the prince’s confidant eunuch in the prince’s courtyard.
…..
Zhang Ting's eyes widened.
She wanted to close her eyes, but before she could, she watched Li Jingzhong's head fall to the ground, blood spurting out from his neck, and then his body swayed and fell to the ground.
This scene was so terrifying that she almost stopped breathing.
Ahead, someone turned around and looked over. It was Xue Bai.
Zhang Ting turned her eyes to Xue Bai's face, and suddenly realized what this meant... Dong Palace had buried him alive, and he wanted to take revenge.
She suddenly felt that he was scarier than Li Jingzhong's corpse. Her legs and feet went weak and she almost fell. She quickly reached out to help him, and it happened to be on Li Heng. The couple actually took a step forward at the same time.

"My father-in-law is still soft-hearted."
Yuan Zai leaned close to Xue Bai's ear and whispered: "If you can accuse the prince of sin, you can protect him as a governor."
“If you are soft-hearted, be soft-hearted,” Xue Bai responded.
The difference between closing the case with Li Jingzhong and closing the case with Li Heng is not very big. Anyway, Li Longji is too lazy to depose the crown prince for the time being, so he just finds a reason to suppress the East Palace.
He looked around and saw a head rolling twice on the ground and then stopped. Li Jingzhong's face still looked ferocious.
Starting from a trap and killing, the grievances between each other were finally settled.
ˆVn
Everything that happened in the Prince's Courtyard was soon reported to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wang Zhongsi killed Li Jingzhong?" Li Linfu sighed: "This sword seems ruthless, but in fact it is sentimental.
"It doesn't matter whether he is ruthless or sentimental. After this incident, the prince will definitely feel resentment towards Wang Zhongsi."
“It actually fulfilled Yang Dang’s wish and allowed them to win over Tu Si Si.”
“What’s the use? Even though Wang Zhongsi expressed his true feelings like this, it’s possible that he was deliberately making a show, and the saint would still seize his power in the four towns. But there is one more reason to depose the prince, which is great news for the right minister!”
"Can it be ruined?"
Li Linfu twisted his beard and pondered.
He has never had this opportunity before to accuse the prince of a serious crime. This seems to be the closest to deposing the prince. If he cannot be deposed even this time, there will be no need to deal with any major cases in the future.
But the next day, Li Linfu entered the palace and talked about Li Jingzhong's crime. Li Longji thought about it briefly, but said: "Summon Li Mi to see him."
With just this sentence, Li Linfu has actually noticed the saint's intention.
Why bother to depose a prince whose military power and prestige have been lost, and then install a new prince who is full of energy?
Sure enough.
"The prince was not strict with his subordinates and allowed his servants to commit such a heinous crime. He later moved to the northwest palace of Daming Palace to reflect on himself and not participate in state affairs until he repented."
Li Linfu was a little disappointed when he learned that this was the case, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
Disappointed that the prince could not be deposed after all, but during the saint's lifetime, the prince no longer had any strength that could threaten him as the prime minister.
Instead of thinking that saints can make ruthless decisions, it is better to prepare for the future.
Thinking of this, Li Linyu's heart trembled, and he became alert again. The key was no longer Li Heng, but Tu Sisi's military power.
At this point, Wang Zhongsi just bit Li Heng in an attempt to eliminate the saint's suspicion. But there is a difference between the power of the East Palace and the prince himself. The useless prince who cannot be favored by the saint has withdrawn. Next, he and Wang Zhongsi compete for the power of the border town.
It's a real confrontation.
"Your Majesty." Li Linfu cautiously tried his hand and asked, "Wang Zhongsi made great achievements in attacking Shibao City, and after returning to the capital, he discovered such a big case. Why not move him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War?"
“There’s no rush, we’ll talk about it after I hear his account of his achievements...
ˆV
Northwest of Daming Palace, Shaoyang Courtyard.
In the bedroom, the female relatives were crying hard.
Li Heng was upset after hearing this. He frowned and turned to the small courtyard. He raised his head and looked at the high palace wall in a daze.
He thought he would only lose Wang Zhongsi's position as the Jiedushi of the Four Towns, but he did not expect that in the end he would also lose his reputation. Now, no one believes that all the crimes were committed by Li Jingzhong on his own initiative.
“Knocking down the crown prince to such a low level will allow the foolish prince to enjoy himself even more unscrupulously.”
With this thought lingering in his mind, Li Heng's eyes were sarcastic, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were tight.
I don’t know how long I stood alone. A young eunuch led a few beautiful palace servants to Shaoyang Courtyard. “I have met His Highness. These few were given by the saint and stayed with His Highness to serve...
Li Heng looked at the palace people, knowing that every move he made would be watched, and he felt even more miserable.
He turned his gaze and landed on the young eunuch's face. Seeing that the other person's eyes were moving and quite intelligent, he couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
“Thank you for your inquiry, Your Highness, my servant Li Gouer.’
"No name?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "I, the prince, have nothing to offer and I have nothing to reward you. How about I give you a name?"
"This... I would like to thank His Highness for your great kindness."
Li Heng nodded, thinking of Li Bi's ambition to help the country, and sneered slightly.
Li Jingzhong, who sincerely assisted him as the prince, is dead.
However, his ambition is still there.
He then stood up, helped the young eunuch on the ground, and said slowly: "From today on, your name will be Li Fuguo...
