Even Emperor Qing, who could express his emotions and anger, couldn't help but his expression suddenly changed at this moment.
However, Liu Yin thought that his father was furious because Liu Qi had deceived the emperor, and then angrily scolded Hengqiu and walked up to Liu Qi.
"Liu Qi, you are so courageous that you even dare to deceive your father."
"Hurry up and recruit him truthfully. The Liu Qi you brought here was taught by some wild master. I think he might be a spy from the enemy country."
Liu Qi turned to the side.
"You said he is a wild master? A spy from the enemy country?"
"What, you don't dare to say it anymore?"
Liu Qi sneered.
"Why don't I dare?"
"Your Majesty, I have never hidden anything from my father. Indeed, Bai Qi's master used a pseudonym."
"And his real name is..."
When Liu Qi spoke, Emperor Qing tried his best to control his emotions, and even his breathing began to become heavy.
Son, are you sure you want to say it?
"Leji!"
Hearing the sound, it was like thunder exploding in the sky, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
Some people even thought they had heard wrongly and rubbed their ears in disbelief.
"Could it be that the Leji you are talking about is our number one god of war in Daqing, General Le?"
An older veteran walked out tremblingly, looking very excited.
"Yes, exactly!"
This answer made Liu Yin on the side stunned for a moment.
Just now, he said he was a wild master and a spy from the enemy country.
Let alone him, even Emperor Qing would not dare to call General Le Lao such a name.
If we say that he is a spy of the enemy country, all the military generals in the country will probably be the first to stand up and refuse to agree.
Yang Wenyuan's face seemed to be distorted.
Although he had inquired a lot and found out that Bai Qi came from Suzhou, he never expected that he would be the direct disciple of General Le.
In terms of status, one is the general and the other is the prime minister. There is no distinction between the two.
But when it comes to status, Yang Wenyuan is not even qualified to compare with Le Ji.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Leji, Daqing would not be as strong as it is today!
Emperor Qing's pupils tightened. This was something he and Liu Qi had already agreed not to mention Bai Qi's true life experience to anyone.
Even because of this matter, he did not hesitate to let Liu Qi get rid of Qin Wei, the most trusted person around him.
There is no other reason. Leji's influence is too great. His appearance will inevitably change the pattern of the court.
Originally, Yang Wenyuan's party would be more difficult to rectify, and with the addition of Le Ji, the influence of his relatives would become even greater.
Taking a step back, if the two of them stand together, they will directly threaten the imperial power. This is no joke.
But Liu Qi didn't think so.
He naturally understood what worries his father had in his heart, and did not want to lay such a root of trouble for the court.
Whether it is Yang Wenyuan or Leji, it is not a good thing for anyone to become more powerful.
But at the moment, almost everyone is on Yang Wenyuan's side, including Liu Xuan and Liu Yin in the royal family, who are not close to him.
In this way, let's just show this shield to prevent the flood from happening in the future.
At least for a certain period of time, it can have a checking and balancing effect on Yang Wenyuan's party.
The effect comes immediately.
"Your Majesty, since he is a disciple of General Le, I can guarantee with my life that this person will never become a spy of the Huns, let alone allow Qin Wei to conspire with the Huns to assassinate Your Majesty!"
The person who spoke was called Han Zhong, and he was considered a relatively senior general.
When he was young, he fought with General Le Lao. Later, after many meritorious services, he was promoted to General Annan.
Later, the new emperor, now Emperor Qing, succeeded to the throne. In addition, Han Zhong was injured in the old base, so he stayed at Lantian Camp and took charge of leading the army.
Although he is not as outstanding as Yang Wenyuan in terms of status, his words are still very weighty among generals. After all, the qualifications are there.
Following Han Zhong's lead, a group of military generals began to stand up one after another and advised the emperor to be aware of this matter.
In fact, Liu Qi knew very well, were these people protecting themselves? Or do you want to express your attitude and support yourself?
No, they just want to protect Bai Qi.
Bai Qi's arrival is equivalent to bringing General Le's momentum. With this momentum, they will have more say in the court in the future.
To put it bluntly, there used to be a "wolf's head", and now there is a new "wolf's head". It's like the rain comes after a long drought, but you still have to hold on to it.
It doesn't matter to them whether they can become the prince, or whether they will be deposed or killed.
But Liu Qi didn't care what they thought in their hearts. As long as you can borrow this momentum now, it is equivalent to adding a layer of defense.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Qi no longer made a fuss about himself and changed the subject.
"Father, Bai Qi is definitely not a spy! General Le has been loyal and patriotic all his life. He has worked hard for Daqing and made great contributions. How could he cultivate a disciple who would harm Daqing?"
Hearing this, these generals began to stand up one after another.
"Your Majesty, what the prince said makes sense. I dare not say it to others, but the disciples trained by General Le will definitely not do such a thing."
"Yes, if he knew that the prince was conspiring with the Huns to assassinate His Majesty, he would definitely stand up and stop it. How could he continue to help the prince train troops?"
It was Han Zhong who stood up again.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to investigate this matter carefully, and you must not make any conclusions in vain. Otherwise, wouldn't this insult our reputation as the number one God of War in Daqing? If word spreads, I may become the laughing stock of other countries."
At this moment, Yang Wenyuan's eyes straightened.
So are the others. In the blink of an eye, Liu Qi, who was originally the most suspected, now seems to be the least suspected.
It felt as if someone was deliberately plotting to kill him.
Seeing that this matter could no longer be used as a leverage against Liu Qi, Yang Wenyuan lowered his head while thinking about his next strategy.
"Generals, I have heard everything you said."
"Since I am a disciple of General Le, I naturally believe that it is impossible to collude with the Huns to harm Daqing."
"However, this matter is of great importance. Anyone who dares to harm me must be caught."
"Since so many people have their own suspicions, I will let Liu Qi and Qin Wei go for now, and then make a decision after Zhang Shi investigates the matter clearly."
Hearing this, Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor has said so, so this should be the end of it, right?
not at all.
Then he saw Yang Wenyuan, that old bastard, standing up again.
Liu Qi really didn't expect that in order to force him to step down as the crown prince, they would all be so shameless.
After co-authoring and reasoning, I couldn't get over it and started acting like a hooligan again.
