Under the moonlight, Pingkangfang was extremely noisy.
In the backyard of Jingyiyuan, there is a small courtyard in the middle hall.
Di Renjie, who was sitting at the top on the right, suddenly looked up at the people opposite and whispered: "The wind direction is not quite right lately."
Li Xuan put down her wine glass and raised her head in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Someone wants to impeach the prince recently, and it's not just one or two. There are many people in the Yushitai who are ready to take action." Di Renjie's face was full of solemnity.
Laisui was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is the East Palace okay these days? Duke Zhang has been demoted to Maduo and built the Changzhou Governor's Palace there. What will happen to the others?"
The emperor didn't even let Zhang Daan spend this year. He asked him to pack his luggage and go to Xinghai before the end of the year. After Xinghai was fully prepared, he rushed to Maduo.
Li Xuan, the real Governor of Changzhou, is still in Chang'an, and he, the Chief of the Governor's Office of Changzhou, is already busy.
"It is said that Dali Temple found many things that should not be there in the East Palace. The news spread, and the entire East Palace has begun to feel a little uneasy, and the internal inventory has been re-inspected." Qin Ming's voice was very low, and he said very softly: "In private, Yuchi Xunyu Said."
"As I said before, Mr. Zhang has been transferred." Li Xuan lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Maybe this is the real purpose of others all along."
Di Renjie, Laisui, Qin Ming, Yao Chong and others present here suddenly looked stern.
Zhang Daan is the anchor of the East Palace. Once he leaves, others will have less worries.
In the storm a few days ago, Di Renjie and Qin Ming were both direct participants, while Laisui and Yao Chong were bystanders.
But the wind and rain in just a few days still splashed on them.
"I just hope that all this will not happen during the Zhengdan Dynasty, otherwise there will really be trouble." Di Renjie had a worried look on his face.
Li Xuan gently raised the wine glass, shook his head calmly and said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, and the Queen is also extremely wise. She has not blocked the way of speech, but if someone does not follow the rules and violate the rules of the government, he would rather die than disturb the general public. Chao, then we really need to do a thorough investigation behind this."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, everyone present suddenly felt a sense of oppression that the storm was coming.
The Zhengdan Dynasty has always been the most important court meeting of the year.
Every step of the process has absolute regulations and cannot be messed up easily.
Once it's messed up, it's definitely not a trivial matter.
"Does the prince know anything?" Di Renjie suddenly looked at Li Xuan and asked: "If the prince knows something, he should tell Huaiying that the new year is approaching and there must be no trouble."
"Do you still remember Ming Chongyan?" Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie and told most of the truth about the matter.
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "Remember, in some of the previous events, there were traces of Master Shiyin."
The things Ming Chongyan did could not be hidden from the eyes of interested people.
Although Wu Chengsi has great ambitions, he has high vision and low hand. Not to mention installing spies in the Secret Guard, even the East Palace has difficulty.
The previous incident, what he did, was nothing more than someone pulling the strings.
This matchmaker was Ming Chongyan.
"Now it's him this time." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie with sharp eyes and said, "Brother Huaiying may only hear the news about the prince's impeachment now, but he doesn't know that before the prince's impeachment, someone has already made preparations. Impeach the king."
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How did the prince know?"
"Spring will be in February next year, and someone has already spread the rumor among the scholars." Li Xuan sneered lightly and said, "If anyone writes a satirical poem then, I might be out of the game. .”
"Out?" Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he said subconsciously: "Ming Chongyan wants to deal with the prince before dealing with the prince."
Li Xuan is too much in the way, and no one can guarantee what Li Xuan's stance will be at the critical moment.
So before that, it's best to get him out of the way.
"If this is the case, then someone will definitely do something wrong during the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting." Di Renjie has already figured out the key to this.
Li Xuan was about to leave Chang'an after Qu Dou'er entered the school, and it was for this reason that he called them together today.
Besides, it is normal to get together in private before the New Year.
Then there is the matter of Yao Chong.
Li Xuan is in Chang'an now, and Yao Yi has not returned from his post in Changzhou. As a Shangguan, it is normal for Li Xuan to be concerned.
But now, the news about Li Xuan has spread.
Obviously someone wanted to take action before he left Chang'an.
"There is still something wrong." Yao Chong suddenly spoke at this time. Seeing everyone turning their heads, Yao Chong said carefully: "If you want to touch the prince, ordinary people can't do it. There are no prime ministers, ministers, or even ministers. Who dares to take action against Yu Shi Zhongcheng?"
Everyone immediately looked at Yao Chong in surprise.
Immediately, Li Xuan nodded and said: "Yuan Zhi is right, most people don't even have the opportunity to talk to the East Palace, even Yushitai."
After saying that, Li Xuan turned to look at Di Renjie and asked, "Brother Huaiying, Yushi Zhongcheng, are you ready to take action?"
Without the approval of Cui Mi, the censor in charge, how could the censors in the censorship stage dare to risk everything to attack the prince.
You know, this is not the era of Li Longji, with Li Linfu standing in the way.
Now Li Zhi is not as wary and suspicious of Li Xian as Li Longji is to Li Heng, and the officials in the DPRK do not have a big mountain like Li Linfu standing in front of them, so they can attack the prince at will.
Although Zhang Daan has been transferred, Huangfu Zhengyi is still there, and the emperor's impression of Huangfu Zhengyi is even higher than that of Zhang Daan.
At this time, who would easily attack Li Xian.
There must be someone blocking the front, so Cui Mi is the first choice to take the lead.
"It's not like that." Di Renjie thought for a moment and then said: "Although Cui Zhongcheng doesn't stop his colleagues from doing things, he will never stop me from doing anything easily...
Especially if the entire Yushitai impeaches the prince collectively when the prince has not lost his moral character, the final backlash will be serious. "
Within a country, the prince is second only to the emperor in importance.
When the emperor has no doubts about the prince, wantonly framing the prince is equivalent to waging war against the emperor.
At the time of the new year, the emperor wanted nothing more than to see stability.
At this time, if someone wants to shake the prince's position and make the emperor look bad in front of foreign envoys, then the emperor's anger will kill someone.
Di Renjie was aware of this kind of thing, but the people at Yushitai were not aware of it.
"The censors at the Censorship Station are all smart people. It is not feasible to report things based on rumors in this dynasty, so there must be solid evidence." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie and said softly: "In the current situation, if someone really comprehensively After investigating the East Palace, I am afraid that not only the king but also the whole world will know about it, but not now, so the Yushitai is just a cover."
"Not necessarily." Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty forgot, someone wants to impeach Your Majesty."
"That's right, that's right, I still have something to do." Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, how could he forget about himself.
"How does the prince plan to deal with it?" Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan solemnly.
Yao Chong was also watching Li Xuan from the side. Although his father served as Chang Shi under Li Xuan, he did not have much contact with Li Xuan. He was also observing Li Xuan.
Li Xuan shook her head calmly and said: "I rarely do anything in Chang'an on weekdays, and I am very cautious when doing things at home. It is not easy to get hold of me.
If you just want to frame a false accusation, it's not that easy. There are many possibilities. It's the kind of stalemate where the public is right and the mother-in-law is right, and the investigation is not clear in a short period of time, and the method is to drive this king away for a period of time... …”
Li Xuan suddenly understood where Ming Chongyan was going to take action.
Wuzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Hongzhou, Pengzhou, these are the five places.
But immediately, Li Xuan looked helpless.
It is indeed not that easy to investigate the situation in these five places. It would take more than half a month just to go back and forth.
"It seems that the prince has figured out what's going on." Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan and asked seriously: "I dare to ask the prince, is there still hope?"
"Yes." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Di Renjie and said: "In the final analysis, it is just a frame-up. For many years, I have been followed by Qianniu Guards around me. I have reported many relevant matters to the East Palace. I only need to report all those things." Find it out and it won’t be difficult to argue with you, but I’m afraid…”
"I'm afraid those things won't be found." Yao Chong looked at Li Xuan and whispered: "Yuan Zhi already knows what the other party wants to do."
"Arson in the East Palace?" Di Renjie spoke for Li Xuan, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Li Xuan nodded slowly and agreed: "What Yuan Zhi said makes sense. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. There will be a lot of lantern festivals in the East Palace, and most of tomorrow night, the prince, the prince's concubine and the emperor's eldest grandson will be in the Daming Palace. With Her Majesty the Queen.
The defensive power of the East Palace is weakened, so interested people will take the opportunity to break in.
All it takes is a fire to be lit the day after tomorrow, and then some people will have an excuse to take action. "
"Then we must inform the East Palace now." Di Renjie made a decisive decision without any hesitation.
"Wait." Li Xuan stopped Di Renjie, then shook his head slightly in Di Renjie's questioning eyes and said, "It's right to tell Dong Palace, but you can't go directly. If what we guessed is known by others, we can set fire to it." What to do if we burn other places, and the time for the opponent to take action may not be tomorrow night, nor the morning after tomorrow."
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, then stopped and said, "What the prince said makes sense."
Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "I will write a letter to Brother Qin and give it to Yuchi Xunyu, asking him to go to the East Palace tomorrow morning and hand it to His Highness the Crown Prince. As for the future, whether you want to take advantage of the opportunity to catch the rapist or do it in advance, just It depends on Dong Gong’s plan, and..."
"And what?" Qin Ming asked subconsciously.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "This is just one of the other party's methods. The other party must have other backup methods in hand, and Dong Palace needs to be reminded of it."
"What the prince said makes sense." Di Renjie came, Yao Chong, Qin Ming and others nodded at the same time.
"Well, thank you all for today, at least let me know what they are thinking." Li Xuan raised his glass and said at the same time: "The day after tomorrow's Zhengdan Dynasty is also the first birthday of the emperor's eldest grandson. If someone wants to move, they must be well prepared. This king also needs to inform General Zuo Qianniuwei and Prince Li Jingjia of Beiping County about this matter, so His Majesty should also make preparations."
"What the prince said is correct. Zhang Daan has learned from his mistakes. We can't just watch." Di Renjie couldn't help but nodded.
What they know now, although it is guesswork, is very likely to come true.
If they really do nothing, then if something goes wrong, then they will be reprimanded by the emperor like Zhang Daan.
But it would be interesting if they reported the news in advance and someone actually took action.
…
He walked out of the small courtyard and headed towards the door. At this moment, several people from the front came towards him.
The leaders were Ouyang Tong, Wang Dezhen, Ge Yuanfu, and Cen Changqian.
They were celebrating when Cen Changqian was transferred back to Chang'an.
Li Xuan immediately stopped and saluted, then introduced Di Renjie, Laisui, Qin Ming, Yao Chong and others to several people, and invited them to visit his home on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
