    Li Dan sat down in the room. He looked around the room and said with a smile: "How can a majestic general live in such a house! This is too shabby!"

    Su Honghui smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness is joking. He has been dismissed from his humble position long ago and is now just a commoner."

    "Oh - that's unfortunate!"

    Su Honghui couldn't bear it any longer. He knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "I am really unjust for holding such a humble position. Please make the decision for me, Your Highness."

    "Get up! Get up! Sit down and talk." Li Dan quickly asked Su Honghui to get up and sit down.

    At this time, Su Honghui's concubine came in with two cups of tea. Su Honghui sat down, wiped away his tears and said, "I am humbled by my humble position and made Your Highness laugh."

    The concubine retreated, and only Su Honghui and Li Dan were left in the room. Li Dan said calmly: "I heard that General Su was dismissed because General Wang Xiaojie died in battle, but General Su seems to be complaining every year. Is there anything in this?"  What grievance is there really?¡±

    Su Honghui did not follow the agreed plan to cooperate with Wang Xiaojie in the battle, which resulted in Wang Xiaojie being surrounded by the Khitan army and almost annihilating the entire army. This responsibility has been made clear, but Su Honghui understood in his heart that it was not that he did not want to rescue Wang Xiaojie, but that Wu Sansi did not allow him  He went to rescue him and specially sent people to monitor him.

    Afterwards, Su Honghui went to Wu Sansi to complain, but Wu Sansi ignored him and wouldn't even let him in. He came to the capital every year to complain, hoping that Wu Sansi would find his conscience and give himself a future.  If he saves money, he will be very miserable in his later years, but the final result still makes him disheartened. Wu Sansi said that he did not know him at all, and ordered people to drive him away with a stick.

    At this time, Su Honghui was ready to risk his life. He told him in detail how Wu Sansi had secretly met with him and ordered him to defeat Wang Xiaojie and not allow him to rescue him. Li Dan nodded repeatedly. This was indeed an extremely vicious move.  , Li Zhen actually still remembers this incident. Once this case is revealed, Wu Sansi will really be miserable and walk away.

    After listening to Su Honghui's account, Li Dan added: "I am determined to help you, but if there is evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince the Holy Father just based on your words."

    Su Honghui hesitated. Once this matter was revealed, he would completely offend Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi would definitely kill him. He was weighing repeatedly, could he really offend Wu Sansi?

    Li Dan saw Su Honghui's hesitation, and then he understood why Li Zhen had to convince Su Honghui himself. Only by taking action himself could he offset Su Honghui's fear of Wu Sansi.

    Li Dan smiled slightly and said: "I will also give you a promise! Once Li Tang returns to the country in the future, I will recommend you as the general of Zuowei and the founding county of the country. What are the conditions for this?"

    Su Honghui became excited. The Prime Minister was most likely to be the future emperor. His personal promise was his last hope in this life. He felt a sudden change in his heart and decided to put all his wealth and life on the Prime Minister. He kowtowed twice.  , he took out a wooden box from the small box next to it and solemnly presented it to Li Dan.

    "In the box is a letter written by Wu Sansi himself, asking me to defeat Wang Xiaojie. At that time, I kept a secret and burned the false letter in front of Wu Sansi's people, but kept the true letter and hid it all the time.  Five years, I am willing to give it to His Highness.¡±

    Li Dan was overjoyed. With this letter, Wu Sansi was saddened by this

    This spring is destined to be a spring of chaos. The struggle caused by Wu Sansi's imminent ascension to the crown prince has gradually reached a fever pitch. Not long after the city gate was closed, hundreds of Qianniu Guard soldiers surrounded the Luling Palace.  Enter the palace.

    Li Xian's two sons, Li Chongrun and Li Chongjun, came up to us. They angrily shouted: "Ji Zhongcheng, what are you doing? You dare to use the army to surround us?"

    Ji Xu said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, please don't be angry. Give Ji Xu a hundred courages. I don't dare to disturb His Highness the King of Luling. I am following the Holy Spirit's decree and come here to say a few words. I want to see Lu Ling."  His Royal Highness."

    Princess Wei walked out of the lobby and said coldly: "Your Majesty is not in good health and cannot see outsiders. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

    Ji Xu hurriedly saluted, "I'm going to see Princess Wei."

    Princess Wei snorted, "You don't have to be pretentious. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

    Ji Xu laughed twice and said: "The princess has put Wei Chen in a difficult position. Wei Chen is indeed here on purpose, because Zhonglang involved Zhang Jingxiong's death in His Highness the King of Luling. The Holy One asked me to tell the King of Luling that if he  If he is willing to admit it, then he can be given a lighter sentence. If he refuses to admit it, once the evidence is confirmed, she will not consider the love between mother and son. These are the Holy Sage's original words. The minister reports them truthfully and asks the princess to tell the prince. As for searching the mansion  , Although the Holy One has agreed, Wei Chen does not have the courage, so Wei Chen leaves first. "

    Ji Xu bowed and slowly retreated.The princess seemed calm on the surface, but in fact she was very panicked. Of course she had heard about the murder of Zhang Jingxiong, and she also knew that there were bloody words at the scene pointing to the King of Luling. Once the Holy One really believed that Zhang Jingxiong was killed by the King of Luling,  , then their family would be doomed, and all her hopes and dreams would be in vain.

    Princess Wei gritted her teeth with hatred. Seeing Ji Xu was about to exit the door, she hurriedly shouted: "Ji Zhongcheng!"

    "Is there anything else, Princess?" Ji Xu stopped and asked with a smile.

    Princess Wei said slowly: "I heard that Li Zhen has returned to Beijing to report on his work. As soon as he came back, so many things happened in the capital. Don't you think it's strange for Ji Zhongcheng?"

    Princess Wei had already vaguely guessed that this incident was related to Li Zhen. She didn¡¯t know whether Li Zhen framed it for King Luling, but in order to protect herself, she did not hesitate to confess Li Zhen.

    Ji Xu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "I understand, I understand. Thank you, Princess, for reminding me."

    He turned around and walked away quickly. Princess Wei gritted her teeth and said, "Li Zhen, you were the first to be unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust."

    Ji Xu walked out of the palace gate, got on his horse, and headed towards the square gate with hundreds of soldiers. At this time, a follower stepped forward and whispered: "Her Highness the Princess has an order not to involve Li Zhen at this time."

    Ji Xu nodded, "I understand in my heart, I don't need you to remind me."

    As soon as I arrived at the square gate, I saw a person walking out of the square gate, bowed and saluted: "Mr. Ji Zhongcheng, please stay!"

    Ji Xu was startled. He took a closer look and recognized this person as Wei Bo, the nephew of Princess Wei. He had some friendship with him. Ji Xu smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Wei. What's the matter?"

    "Ji Zhongcheng, please take a step to speak."

    Ji Xu got off his horse and followed him to the corner. Wei Bo whispered: "The murder of Zhang Jingxiong has nothing to do with King Luling, but it may be related to the eldest son."

    "Li Chongrun?" Ji Xu was stunned.

    Wei Bo nodded, "That's him. He often said that the Holy Emperor was dissolute and immoral, favored Er Zhang, and had constant incest. He would kill Er Zhang one day. Even if he couldn't kill Er Zhang, he would still kill Li Jingxiong and others. And  On the day Li Jingxiong was killed, I witnessed him taking dozens of people out and not coming back until late at night.¡±

    Ji Xu was really surprised at how much hatred it would take for Wei Bo to secretly report Li Chongrun.

    There is a huge notice posted on the wall of Xingshan Square in Luoyang. Nearly a thousand people in the square gathered in front of the notice, and they could only hear someone reading it aloud. Liang Wangwu thought twice about how he could be a prince because he had done many evil deeds and had lost all his virtues in the world. He committed all his evil deeds one by one.  The disclosure is as follows: In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Tongtuofang fire in Luoyang affected 327 households and burned 155 people to death. This was actually caused by Wu Sansi's arson, in order to gain access to his land.  Everywhere is Wu Sansi's villa.

    In the first year of Guangzhai, there was a great famine in Liangzhou. Wu Sansi took the opportunity to seek land and seized 12,000 hectares of land with five liters of rice per acre. It was named Liangwang Farm, which still exists today.

    "It's true!" someone shouted, "My twenty-acre Yongye field in Liangzhou was forcibly taken away in exchange for two stones of rice. It turned out to be Wu Sansi's doing."

    "Shameless!"

    Everyone yelled angrily. Many older people recalled that the Tongtuofang fire burned badly. It turned out that Wu Sansi sent people to set the fire. This is simply unconscionable. Such a person still wants to be a prince?  At this time, several government officials ran over in a panic, setting up ladders and preparing to tear down the notices on the wall. The crowd was enraged and threw stones at several government officials. Someone shouted: "Wu Sansi's lackeys, get out of here!"  The official was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his arms.

    Not only the charity square, but also at least thirty other squares in Luoyang City posted similar notices, and Luoyang City was boiling for a while.

    Before dawn the next day, horse-drawn carriages appeared on the streets of Luoyang. They were hung with orange-red lanterns, which stood out in the dark night. Today is the fifth day of March. Every fifth day of the month, the court will hold a grand ceremony.  At the court meeting, all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must attend court.

    Li Zhen was no exception. He was left behind in Xijing. As a third-rank official, he naturally had to attend the court meeting.

    He got up before dawn, and Di Yan also got up early to pack his official uniform and arrange food and drinks, so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor.

    Li Zhen ate something casually and then changed to the official position. He smiled at his wife and said, "Don't bother me. I'll just go with my father-in-law."

    Di Yan arranged his clothes and sighed: "Dad has already taken a step ahead. He asked you to go early and not to be late."

    Di Yan complained a little: "I don't understand why we go to court so early and it's still dark, why can't we let everyone sleep a little longer and hold the court meeting in the morning."

    "There's nothing we can do about it. If the meeting is delayed too late, then everyone won't be able to do anything all morning., so I have to work harder and go to court before dawn. The court will end after dawn, so it will not affect normal official duties.  "

    Li Zhen explained with a smile while putting on his boots: "In fact, being an emperor is more difficult. He can't stand going to court every day. What should he do? Just promote a few prime ministers who understand his concerns, and then he doesn't have to go to court in the morning.  But most of the prime ministers who indulge the emperor and refuse to go to court are treacherous and treacherous officials come out like this."

    "According to you, the reason why traitors harmed the country is because the emperor wanted to sleep a little longer and didn't want to go to court in the morning?"

    "That's almost it!"

    Li Zhen kissed Di Yan on the face and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I'll leave first."

    Di Yan blushed and sent Li Zhen out of the house, watching him get on the carriage. More than a dozen personal guards escorted the carriage and drove quickly towards Tianjin Bridge.

    It was still dark, and the square in front of the Mingtang was full of ministers. They were in small groups, gathering in their respective circles and discussing something in low voices. Indeed, too many things had happened in the past two days. Zhang Jingxiong was  Killing, there are prophecies that are not conducive to Wu Sansi, which makes people have to think about it.

    "In my opinion, Zhang Jingxiong's murder and Wu Sansi's prophecy are actually the same thing, and the planners are very clever."

    "Brother Wen is thinking too much! Zhang Jingxiong is Er Zhang's brother, what does he have to do with Wu Sansi?"

    "Think about it again? Whose support did Wu Sansi get to aspire to be the crown prince? Wasn't it Er Zhang? Killing Zhang Jingxiong was actually a warning to Er Zhang not to risk the world's disapproval. If Er Zhang's arrogance was  With suppression, Wu Sansi losing support, and prophecies added, do you think Wu Sansi¡¯s ascension to the crown will go smoothly?¡±

    Several people suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up, "High! Brother Wen's analysis is very thorough. This is really what happened."

    "What is the prophecy of Wu Sansi?"

    "I think many of the prophecies are true. Do you still remember the death of Li Jinzhong? His death was very strange and nothing happened. At that time, someone pointed out that two days before Li Jinzhong died, some Khitan people came in and out of Wu Sansi's mansion.  I think this matter must be related to him, and ice jade, do you remember? Wu Sansi once showed off that he had a rare piece of Arctic ice jade, and I suspect it was given to him by the Khitans. "

    "Brother Wen, as well as those notices in the Luoyang neighborhood, are simply heinous crimes and the people's anger is too great."

    Everyone nodded. The prophecies and announcements revealed many of Wu Sansi's old background. Even if Wu Sansi tried his best to deny it, how could the Holy One ignore everyone's doubts and force him to take the position? An immoral prince would be despised by everyone in the world.  .

    "Wu Sansi is here!"

    Someone shouted, and everyone shut up.
