Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

"By the way, boss, there is one more thing."

Li Si's expression and tone became serious.

Wei Hao immediately looked at Li Si suspiciously.

"I have already investigated the cause of the eldest father's death."

When Wei Hao heard this, he couldn't help staring at Li Si closely, his eyes full of expectation.

"The reason Wei Dianjun was killed by Yan Hongxin back then was because of King Qi's order.

Wei Dianjun learned that King Qi secretly raised a group of dead soldiers under the instigation of his uncle.

Originally, Wei Dianjun wanted to report to the court, but was found out by King Qi and his minions.

In order to expose the matter, they killed Wei Dianjun. "

After Wei Hao heard this, he thought of his father who died tragically, and his expression was sad.

He took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing killing intent.

Li You, Li You, you killed my father, and you and your minions will pay in blood.

……

The next day.

Wei Hao found Su Lie and told him about King Qi's secret recruitment of soldiers.

Su Lie knew that the situation was serious, so he had to report it to His Majesty immediately.

Wei Hao told Su Lie that when reporting to His Majesty, don't tell His Majesty that the news was obtained through him.

Su Lie asked Wei Hao why.

Wei Hao said that his news was just hearsay, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

If it is false, His Majesty will blame him for slandering King Qi.

Su Lie nodded understandingly.

He thought about it, and said to Wei Hao, this matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty.

After all, the stakes are high.

Tiance Shadow Guard cannot investigate the prince in private.

But he asked Wei Hao to rest assured that he would not tell His Majesty the source of the news.

Wei Hao agreed.

This is Wei Hao's original purpose.

He wanted Tiance Shadow Guard to investigate, and if there was any trouble, he could stay out of it.

Anyway, the news has already been revealed, the rest depends on Tiance Shadow Guard.

Su Lie reported the news to Li Er.

After hearing this, Li Er was quite shocked.

Order Tiance Shadow Guard to investigate immediately.

Whether it is true or false, he must get the exact answer.

Su Lie took the order to leave.

After a few days, Li Er received Quan Wanji's secret performance.

During the secret rehearsal, Quan Wanji told Li Er that Qi Wang Li You recruited troops in private, fearing that he might have ulterior motives.

Li Er saw Quan Wanji's secret performance, and his face changed drastically.

He was so angry that he kicked over the tea table in front of him.

"Quickly summon eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling!"

"promise!"

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling hurried over.

After understanding the situation, both of them remained silent.

"You two tell me, how to deal with this matter?"

Li Er glanced at them and said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you send troops to Qizhou immediately and escort King Qi back to Chang'an!"

Changsun Wuji answered first.

"Your Majesty, do not send troops immediately."

Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully.

"Now there is no actual evidence to prove that King Qi's recruitment of troops was a deliberate rebellion.

If you send troops directly, I am afraid that King Qi will be forced to speed up the pace of rebellion. "

"Then according to what you see, what should I do?"

Li Er stared at Fang Xuanling and said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that we should first find an excuse to summon King Qi and Quan Wanji back to Chang'an."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said.

"King Qi secretly recruited troops, most likely because he was bewitched by others.

His Majesty summoned the King of Qi to return to Chang'an, and then sent people to arrest those who had second thoughts about the court around King Qi. "

Li Er nodded slightly thoughtfully.

"According to Xuanling's suggestion, let Quan Wanji accompany You'er back to Chang'an first."

After a pause, Li Er straightened his face and said:

"Before, Tiance's shadow guards had obtained a tip, suspecting that You'er recruited troops privately, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Does Tiance Shadow Guard have any latest news on this matter? "

"Report to Your Majesty, the Tiance Shadow Guard has not sent back the latest information."

Changsun Wuji said cautiously.

"Should I wait for Tiance Shadow Guard's information to arrive before making a decision?"

"Need not!"

Li Er said lightly.

"First call You'er and Quan Wanji back to Chang'an.

I believe that there will be no fakes in Quan Wanji's secret performance. "

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling nodded.

Then, Li Er ordered Fang Xuanling to draw up an imperial edict and send it to Qizhou.

Not long after the sender of the edict left Chang'an, Su Lie reported to Li Er.

The Tiance shadow guard sent to Qizhou sent back the secret report, and the king of Qi really secretly recruited troops.

Li Er was furious, and immediately ordered the Tiance shadow guards in Qizhou to monitor every move of officials at all levels in Qizhou, and report immediately if they found anything unusual.

……

Qizhou.

In the palace of Prince Qi.

Qi Wang Li You sat in the middle.

Yin Hongzhi, Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo, and Liang Mengbiao sat side by side.

All looked dignified.

"Father made an order to let me and Quan Wanji return to Chang'an on a certain day, saying that I would reward me and Quan Wanji."

Li You glanced at his cronies and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone thinks that my father suddenly summoned me back to Chang'an, is it really for a reward?"

"King Qi, I got the news that Quan Wanji knew about our secret recruitment."

Yin Hongzhi said in a quiet voice at first, cautiously.

"According to the officials, the real purpose of His Majesty summoning the King of Qi back to Chang'an is probably not to confer rewards, but to seize the opportunity to capture the King of Qi."

"Seconded!"

Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo, and Liang Mengbiao all agreed.

"What should the king do?"

Li You frowned and asked.

"At this point, we can only kill Quan Wanji."

Zan Junmo suggested.

"Quan Wanji, as the head of Qi Wangfu, betrayed Qi Wang, this person cannot be kept!"

"Seconded!"

Liang Mengbiao immediately agreed.

"If Quan Wanji is killed, King Qi will not be able to explain to the court."

Yin Hongzhi said thoughtfully.

"At that time, the imperial court will definitely hold King Qi accountable. With His Majesty's temper, King Qi will be reduced to a commoner."

"We can kill Quan Wanji in the same way we killed Wei Wenzhen before." Yan Hongliang suggested.

"no!"

Yin Hongzhi first opposed Yan Hongliang.

"The current situation of Quan Wanji is different from that of Wei Wenzhen back then.

The reason why the imperial court summoned King Qi back to Chang'an was probably because of the secret report from Quan Wanji.

In other words, if Quan Wanji died, the court would definitely think that King Qi did it. "

Yin Hongzhi said with a scheming look.

"correct."

Zan Junmo nodded slightly, agreeing with Yin Hongzhi.

"That's right, it makes sense!"

Liang Mengbiao also nodded in agreement.

Li You frowned, unable to make a decision.

"Uncle, what should we do?"

Li You asked Yin Hongzhi without any opinion.

"King Qi, at this point, we have no way out."

Yin Hongzhi rolled his eyes and said more cautiously.

"Either King Qi is demoted to a commoner, or King Qi leads us to find another way out."

"King Qi, at this point, we might as well go against each other!"

Zan Junmo straightened his body, and said with a bold and ambitious look.

"The soldiers and horses of Qizhou are all in our hands. If the king of Qi gives an order, we will lead the army to defend Qizhou, and then use Qizhou as a base to conquer Qingzhou, Zizhou and other states in order to march to Chang'an and seize the world. !"

"Agree!"

Liang Mengbiao followed closely.

"Qizhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the counties and counties around Qizhou are short of soldiers and horses, so it will be easy to capture!"

"Seconded!"

Yan Hongliang also agreed.

"It's better for King Qi to be the emperor himself than to be restrained by others!"
