"Your Majesty, is it really not Wang Shujie's handwriting?"
In the back hall of Cuiwei Hall, Li Yuan nodded with a sullen face, "I have verified it. The handwriting is somewhat similar, but it is indeed not Wang Gui's handwriting, and the seal should also be a forgery."
"Who is so bold?!" Li Shan touched his chin, "It can't be Du Yan, right?"
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shan, "How did you judge the treasurer who joined the army?"
"I have confessed that part of the food in Yijuncang was used by Yang Wenqian to support his private army, and part of it was sold by him. The main thing is Yuhuchun Winery, the property of Du family in Jingzhao. Of course, it is Du Yan." Li Shan spread his hands and said: "It's just that I really can't figure out what Du Yan is..."
Li Yuan naturally understood the implication of Li Shan's words. If Du Yan only stole official food, it can only be said that he is a money man and loves Duwu too much. But the problem is that Du Yan instigated Du Feng to accuse the prince of treason. This is intriguing. .
Du Yan is an official of Tiance Mansion, but Li Yuan is very sure that this is not the behind-the-scenes planning of Li Shimin. Could it be that if Yang Wenqian breaks through Renzhi Palace, Li Yuan himself may not die, but Li Shimin will definitely not escape death.
Not to mention, if Du Yan's accusation of the prince's rebellion was Li Shimin's behind-the-scenes planning, then it is impossible for Li Shimin not to consider Yang Wenqian, the governor of Fangzhou, and he would probably leave before Yang Wenqian's rebellion.
But the one who really left was Qi King Li Yuanji.
Li Yuan couldn't help but begin to doubt Du Yan's political stance. He had heard that Ling Jing entered Tiance Mansion and took Du Yan's position, which caused Fang Xuanling to abandon his post, which led to Du Yan entering Tiance Mansion.
"Oh, by the way, there is a letter from Chang'an today." Li Shan added: "In the study room of Sinong Shaoqing Zhao Yuankai's home, two letters were found, one was from Li Sixing from Prince Qi's Mansion, and the other was from Prince Qi's Mansion. Rong Jiusi joined the army in the recording office."
"Zhao Yuankai..." Li Yuan snorted coldly, "Sanhu used a good trick to win over two Sinong Shaoqing... It was you, as Si Nongqing, who didn't go to the Yamen to take care of things, so you did this. .”
Li Shan opened his mouth and looked aggrieved, but he still didn't explain anything... Damn, if it was before the battle in Tiantai Mountain last year, let alone Yijuncang, it was discovered that Yang Wenqian was raising private soldiers in Fangzhou. I'm afraid you will also turn a blind eye!
And not long after the battle at Tiantai Mountain, why didn't I lead my troops on an expedition... As for after returning to the court, I had to prepare for the Renzhi Palace mutiny, so there was no need to expose it in advance.
Li Shan didn't make any excuses because he knew that his plan was smooth and successful. He successfully led Li Yuan to that path... and set his target on Du Yan.
The key point of Li Shan's overall plan lies in Du Yan. For this reason, he has not yet asked Qi King Li Yuanji. He asked the prince, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Yu Wenying and Yu Wenshao. , Li Sixing, Yang Wenqian, but they just didn’t ask Li Yuanji.
Li Yuan needs to connect this point himself.
The next moment, Li Shan heard Li Yuan ask this.
"How do you tell Du Yan?"
"Please ask Prime Minister Xiao and Sun Fujia, the censor Zhongcheng, to inquire." Li Shan explained: "I had some disputes with Du Yan in the early years, so it is not appropriate to interrogate."
"Well, he was the one who robbed Yu Huchun." Li Yuan nodded, "I heard from Erlang that you sent a letter directly to Du Ruhui's case."
"Anyway, their uncle and nephew regard each other as enemies." Li Shan spread his hands and said: "If it weren't for Duke Ming being a confidant of His Highness King Qin, I would have turned to His Majesty to make the decision."
Li Yuan seemed not to have heard. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked in a low voice: "Huairen thinks, what if I go back to Beijing to depose the crown prince and let the King of Qin take over the East Palace?"
"This is a matter decided by Qiankun. Even if your Majesty makes an inquiry, he should ask the prime minister and his assistant." Li Shan first distanced himself from the relationship, then took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Yang Wenqian is the prince's confidant, and he is raising troops in Fangzhou to plot rebellion. However, …”
"Um?"
Li Shan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty ordered his ministers to investigate carefully. Judging from the current clues, Yang Wengqian is plotting rebellion...I am afraid it is not the prince."
Li Yuan sighed, he had already found out to this point. Although he was almost killed by Yang Wenqian, he also knew in his heart that this time it was really not Da Lang who was rebellious. The most likely behind-the-scenes instigator was Si Lang Li Yuanji.
It makes sense to depose the crown prince on the grounds of Yang Wenqian's rebellion, at least in the history books, but at this time, I am afraid that the subordinate officials in the East Palace and the courtiers in the court who are attached to the East Palace will not recognize him.
Yang Wenqian raised his troops to plot rebellion, and the prince who was in charge of Chang'an and overseeing the country was no different. Moreover, Yang Wenqian raised his troops... Your Majesty even recognized the Changlin Army in the imperial city!
Li Shan didn't care whether King Qin could quickly take over the East Palace. Anyway, according to the current situation, it would be a matter of time. After this time, he didn't believe that Pei Shiju had any more curses... What he cared about now was to pull Feng Lun out. , and then find an explanation for his uncle Er Zhuhuan.
At this time, Xiao Yu and Sun Fuga came together to ask for an audience.
Sun Fujia's face was expressionless, but Xiao Yu's face was very ugly... If it weren't for Wei Si Wang Li Huairen's strict order, every time he asked, there would be a palace attendant holding a pen to record, he really wanted to fool him.
"How?" Li Yuan sighed, "How do Du Yan explain?"
Sun Fujia turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yu's face. He took two steps forward and reported: "Your Majesty, I am following Prime Minister Xiao to inquire about Du Yan, who joined the army in the Tiance Mansion's office, about Yijun's granary and rice, and about Du Feng's report to the prince. Conspiracy to rebel."
"Du Yan confessed that since the sixth year of Wude, Zhou Fang, who joined the army through the treasurer of Fangzhou, stole grain and rice from Yijun's warehouse to make wine. During this period, Zhou Fang's wife was granted the title of Duke of Bomi State..."
"Feng Deyi?" Li Yuan covered his forehead and was shaking.
Li Shan rushed forward to support him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
After a while to calm down, Li Yuan shook his head to show that it was okay, gritted his teeth and said, "What about accusing the prince of treason?"
Sun Fujia glanced at Xiao Yu from the corner of his eye, lowered his head and said, "He is also the prime minister."
"Feng Lun Feng De Yi!"
Li Yuan shook off Li Shan's hand and stood up suddenly. As a mature politician, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty quickly connected all the things.
This time when we came to Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat, I and Erlang made a lot of preparations and precautions. Erlang brought basically all his confidants and generals with him. Huang Junhan and Li Shiji were also arranged to be among the soldiers of Shangfanfu. The only important people who stayed in Chang'an were alone. For the prime minister, Feng Lun, Yu Wenshiji, the minister of Zhongshu, and Tang Jian, the minister of Huangmen, were led by Feng Lun.
Although Du Yan was born in the Du family in Jingzhao and was Du Ruhui's uncle, he did not have much status in Tiance Mansion, while Feng Lun could give orders.
It couldn't be such a coincidence that Feng Lun ordered Du Yan to accuse the prince of rebellion, and Yang Wenqian happened to launch an army to rebel and attack Renzhi Palace, while the prince sat in Chang'an without any movement at all.
Li Shan tried hard to keep a calm expression, thinking that he was not afraid that you would think too much, but that he would not think... Du Yan admitted obediently. In fact, this was logical, because this wind-blocking wall didn't know anything, but However, Li Yuan was able to think back and forth and immediately targeted Feng Lun.
Try to update every day this month, but there may only be one update. Next month it will return to normal two updates.
