Er Zhuhuan, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up slowly, looked at the tent door warily, and then cast a questioning look at Changsun Wuji.
"After the battle at Tiantai Mountain, it was inevitable that His Highness would take over the East Palace." Changsun Wuji sneered, "How stupid it is to rebel at this time!"
Er Zhuhuan breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward, and whispered: "Is there anyone outside?"
Changsun Wuji, who noticed something strange, looked at Er Zhuhuan with squinted eyes, nodded slightly and raised his chin.
"Although I am not smart, I am not stupid either." Er Zhuhuan lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "How can I betray His Highness now?"
After a pause, Er Zhuhuan asked in a nervous and expectant tone, "But King Qi?"
"Um?"
"But the Prime Minister?"
"Huh?" Changsun Wuji was greatly surprised. His Majesty and the King of Qin both intended to keep the important information secret from Chang'an. Perhaps only Princess Pingyang knew the inside story.
And Er Zhuhuan just arrived in Phoenix Valley today, and was detained in isolation immediately, but he was able to quickly identify King Qi... You must know that even when Yang Wenqian raised his troops to kill, no one suspected King Qi. Go on your body.
More importantly, the mastermind behind the scenes is Feng Lun. This news was only confirmed last night. Apart from Li Huairen, Xiao Yu, and Sun Fuga, only His Majesty, King Qin, himself, Fang Xuanling and other close advisers knew about it. But Er Zhuhuan singled out Feng Lun.
Changsun Wuji pointed to the futon, "Sit down and tell us in detail, what happened in Chang'an?"
Er Zhuhuan licked his dry lips and slowly started from the beginning. He said that Feng Lun suddenly summoned him secretly and asked him to leave Chang'an without telling the East Palace, transport weapons and armor to Fangzhou, and then go to Renzhi Palace to accuse the prince of rebellion. .
"Then why did you report Qiao Gongshan to the prince?"
"The lower official advised Qiao Gongshan to slow down, but he refused to listen." Er Zhuhuan rubbed his cheek vigorously, "I felt something strange that day."
"Is there something different?"
"Yes." Er Zhuhuan said in a helpless tone: "Since the beginning of last year, Xiaguan has been on duty in the East Palace on weekdays. He lives in Changlin Army in the Forbidden Garden. He occasionally leaves the imperial city and has tried to find Duke Changsun several times, but he has always been disappointed."
Changsun Wuji's face was a little gloomy. Well, that was when Su Dingfang had just been promoted to a county prince and was ordered to take charge of the Beiya Imperial Army. He stopped Fang Xuanling outside the Suzaku Gate without a goldfish bag.
On that day, Li Shan secretly discussed with the King of Qin and others in Chengqian Hall. Changsun Wuji proposed to push Chai Shao out to be the military commander of Lingzhou Road, which made Li Shan furious... As a result, Li Yuan commended Su Dingfang and praised him. There is the wind of thin willows.
From then on, Changsun Wuji could no longer enter and leave the imperial city at will. However, Fang Xuanling first got a position in Tiance Mansion, and then joined the Sixth Department... and Changsun Wuji did not have a formal official position in Tiance Mansion. He also did not serve in the court and could only stay in Tiance Mansion on weekdays. This was the main reason why he had to transfer the command of Qiao Gongshan, Er Zhuhuan and others to Feng Lun.
After scolding Li Shan a few times in his mind, Changsun Wuji asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Last year, I followed the prince to Renshou Palace. On Tiantai Mountain..." Er Zhuhuan swallowed, "I saw Prime Minister Feng having a secret meeting with King Qi late at night."
"What?!" Changsun Wuji was shocked, "Really?"
"There is absolutely no mistake!" Er Zhuhuan said categorically: "The moon was bright that night and I could see it clearly. But then His Majesty returned to Chang'an and never found the opportunity to confront Duke Changsun."
"On weekdays, I only interact with the prime minister. Who can I talk to?"
"Even the Prime Minister has different intentions... If it is said that there is no chance of rebellion in the Tiance Mansion, led by Duke Changsun."
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but nod in agreement... Although Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were more trusted by the King of Qin, they were all descendants of aristocratic families after all, and the Changsun family in Luoyang put all their chips on the King of Qin.
"I have been paying attention since then, and I haven't seen anything different." Er Zhuhuan sighed: "But the prime minister suddenly asked his subordinates to accuse the prince of treason. The subordinates immediately suspected that there was another mystery, either the King of Qi or the prince."
"That's why you went to report to the prince..." Changsun Wuji was deceived, "You want to see Feng Lun..."
"Well, if the prince is plotting rebellion, there must be something unusual. At that time, we will send people to Renzhi Palace to report the news." Er Zhuhuan nodded and said: "The fact is that the prince did not act rashly..."
Changsun Wuji took over the conversation, "So you just guessed it was King Qi?"
"Yes." Er Zhuhuan asked tentatively: "Is he really the King of Qi?"
Changsun Wuji said nothing more and considered Er Zhuhuan's words in his mind several times. Although he found no obvious loopholes, he still felt it was a bit strange.
An hour later, inside a temporary house built with red bricks.
After listening to Changsun Wuji's story, Du Ruhui shook his head, "It's a bit far-fetched. I didn't send any confidants to Renzhi Palace to report the news afterwards."
"At that time, Princess Pingyang had already sealed off the imperial city. As Er Zhuhuan was the prince's confidant, there was nothing he could do." Changsun Wuji explained: "It is reasonable and reasonable to report to the prince and confirm whether Feng Lun is secretly attached to the prince."
Ling Jing nodded in agreement, "After all, King Qi has always been attached to the East Palace, and Er Zhuhuan suspected that he was the prince..."
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Who would have thought it was King Qi."
Li Yuanji's useless talent became the best protection for his ambition, and no one suspected him.
After a pause, Ling Jing chuckled, "If there had been no civil uprising in Yijun County and King Qi had taken away nearly half of his troops, Yang Wenqian might not have been able to break through the Phoenix Valley. If so..."
Du Ruhui also sneered, "Feng Lun is a good trick!"
Li Shimin rubbed his eyebrows as he speculated in his mind. Of course he would have figured it out. If that were the case, if his father followed Qiao Gongshan, Er Zhuhuan, and Du Fengju, he would definitely be able to find Du Yan, and the prince would most likely come to Renzhi. If the palace asks for forgiveness, then it will be a bad debt.
The key is that Li Shimin and Li Yuan had made preparations for this summer retreat at Renzhi Palace, but Li Shimin secretly did these tricks and even made Yang Wenqian rebel... What did Li Yuan think?
Maybe by then we'll all have 50 hits each.
"Speaking of which, Er Zhuhuan made a mistake and got some credit." Fang Xuanling smacked her lips, "But after all, I reported it to the prince..."
Everyone's eyes are on Li Shimin. In any case, this is an act of rebellion, and only Li Shimin can make the decision.
Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "In fact, it is very simple to verify. Your Highness can verify with Feng Lun and King Qi whether there was a secret meeting in Tiantai Mountain last year."
"That's right." Ling Jing knocked on the nail calmly, "If it was really a secret meeting, then it can be said that what Er Zhuhuan did was for His Highness' concern... Er Zhuhuan should not talk nonsense about this kind of thing. "
Li Shimin nodded slightly, but his face was rather gloomy. He had just returned from Cuiwei Hall and had just heard bad news... someone had cuckolded him.
He could only ask Sanhu. Li Shimin really didn't want to see Feng Lun again.
