Chang He saluted respectfully and said: "The last general pays homage to His Royal Highness, what orders does His Royal Highness have?"

Li Jiancheng put on a face and said: "Chang He, now that the imperial court is preparing borders and defending against the Turks, there is a vacancy for the military commander of the strategically important Gyeongju. I want to select one of the generals of the Eastern Palace to take up this position. I wonder if you would like it?"

Chang He thought for a moment: "The general is a rough man, he only knows how to fight in battle, slashes people with his knives, he can barely do enough to guard the city gate, but it is absolutely impossible to go out of the town. Your Highness, the general is still willing, Stay with His Highness and be a personal guard."

Li Jiancheng said again: "You have to think about it carefully. Although Gyeongju is the governor's office of Xiazhou, the governor of Yizhou awarded General Yunhui, from the third rank, to follow Ben Gong, a mere guard, but only the fourth rank!"

Chang He said with a simple and honest face: "Your Highness, I am a rough man, and he is not expected to be an official at all. If His Royal Highness doesn't like me, I will resign and return to the field!"

As he said that, Chang He slowly lowered his helmet, took off Donggong Youqing Daosu's badge, and placed it in front of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "General Chang, what are you doing, I just said it casually, but this is really a good opportunity. If you go out of the town, you can also be regarded as a great official in the frontier, shining on the lintel..."

Chang He knelt on one knee and said nothing.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chang He very seriously, nodded and said: "You go back first! Don't worry, I won't treat loyal people badly."

Chang He got up and left slowly.

At this moment, Wei Zheng who was hiding behind the screen slowly came out.

Wei Zheng looked at Chang He's back thoughtfully, and at the moment Chang He left, he clearly showed a smug expression, why did Chang He show this expression?This made Wei Zheng puzzled.

As for Chang He's lack of ambition for an official career, Wei Zhengquan thought what he said was bullshit.People who came out of Wagangzhai would have retired long ago if they had no intention of official career.In terms of making money, following Li Mi these years, Wagang, even generals at the rank of captain, have made a lot of money.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng pushed Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think?"

Wei Zheng really wanted to say Chang He, but seeing Chang He's strange expression, Wei Zheng was a little uncertain.Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's not come to a conclusion yet, just look at General Yuchi!"

Li Jiancheng said: "That's fine!"

When Yu Chigong arrived, Li Jiancheng said the same thing to Yu Chigong.Li Jiancheng waited quietly for Yu Chigong's performance, but Yu Chigong said: "His Royal Highness, look at this!"

As he spoke, Yu Chigong handed the secret letter to Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng took the secret letter, glanced at it hastily, his face changed drastically, and he rushed to Wei Zheng behind the screen, "Look, Xuancheng!"

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng without embarrassment. When he received the letter, he glanced at it hastily and said, "This letter is fake!"

Hearing this, Yu Chigong was obviously relieved.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, you should have many letters from General Chen here!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"Your Highness, please find a few letters at random!" Wei Zheng was very cautious, he knew that Yu Chigong had subtlety in roughness, and it was definitely not so easy to believe in himself.He had to produce evidence that could convince Yu Chigong, otherwise it would be bad if there was a estrangement.

After a while, Li Jiancheng took out a stack of dozens of long letters and handed them to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng didn't even look at it, he opened a letter casually, then picked up the letter paper, handed it to Yuchi Gong and said, "Look, what's the difference between the two letters?"

Yu Chigong looked at it for a long time, but found no difference, but felt that the handwriting of the two letters was almost exactly the same.

Holding the letter paper, Wei Zheng looked towards the light, pointed to the watermark in the signature on the paper, and said: "This is General Chen's secret key, and there will be a Chen signature in place of his signature. Word watermark. This is a typo, and it was also deliberately written by General Chen!"

In fact, although Wei Zheng was smart, he didn't know that this was not a typo at all, but a combination of the traditional and simple versions of Chen characters.This kind of watermark hidden in the ink can't be found at all if you don't look at it with light or sunlight.

Yu Chigong was trustworthy but suspicious, and slowly took a few letters to compare, and found that all the letters Chen Ying wrote to Li Jiancheng had this kind of watermark, and this letter to Wei Zheng only had similar handwriting.

Wei Zheng pointed to the channel in Yu Chigong's hand: "Besides the secret key, there is another difference in this letter!"

Yu Chigong already believed that the secret letter was fake, but he still asked in surprise: "What's the difference?"

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This fake letter is written on rice paper, but General Chen never used rice paper to write letters. Do you feel the difference between this paper and rice paper?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Jiancheng's head, and he exclaimed: "I understand, this is exactly the same as the fake imperial edict of Hebei!"

Yuchi Gong asked suspiciously: "What is their purpose for doing this?"

Wei Zheng chuckled and said, "General Yuchi, if this letter is genuine, what will you do?"

Yu Chigong said with a murderous look on his face: "I'll kill Master Wei first, and then..."

Yu Chigong knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly confessed.

The eyes of Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng met in the air, and the two laughed almost at the same time: "General Yuchi, why don't you enjoy your enmity?"

"Wishful kindness?" Yuchi Gong suddenly realized.

Li Jiancheng handed a short knife to Yuchi Gong from the screen on the wall. Yu Chi Gong looked at the knife. The blade of this short knife was no more than a foot long, the back of the knife was about two fingers wide, and there were serrations on the back of the knife. Murderous.

Li Jiancheng pressed his thumb on the copper-colored button of the handle, only to hear a soft "click", and the blade retracted neatly into the handle.

Yuchi Gong exclaimed in shock: "There is such a mechanism?"

Wei Zheng said: "General Yuchi, you can use this knife to stab me in the chest tonight, when Wei Zheng returned to the door after being on duty!"

Yuchi Gong suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing, please do it!"

Li Jiancheng said: "What's the matter?"

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Highness, killing surrendered ministers one after another is not good for the Tang Dynasty's reputation. Your Highness should save Du Fuwei's life."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng suspiciously: "Save Du Fuwei's life? Where do you start with this? Erlang has already married Du Fuwei to Jinlan. I don't bother to deal with Du Fuwei. Who will deal with Du Fuwei?"

Wei Zhengdao: "At the beginning, His Highness also advised His Majesty not to kill Dou Jiande, but Dou Jiande is still dead, and there was also a chaos in Hebei. In name, Du Fuwei has surrendered to Tang, but there are tens of thousands of well-equipped Jianghuai troops under his command!"

Li Jiancheng asked in disbelief: "How is this possible, Erlang and Du Fuwei are sworn brothers..."

"Du Fuwei is alive, and the Jianghuai army will only obey Du Fuwei's orders!" Wei Zheng said: "Now that the Prince Qin's mansion has just made an incident in Hebei, it will immediately separate the monarchs and ministers of the East Palace. Prestige and sworn worship is also a conspiracy!"

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy?" Li Jiancheng said.

Yu Chigong listened to Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng's words, he didn't want to leave or stay.

He is a smart man and he knows a thing.

The more you know, the faster you die.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "What does King Qin need?"

"Great work!" Li Jiancheng blurted out, "It's a great work!"

"That's right!" Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Li Jing from Wuyuan has been appointed as the head of Liangzhou, and the Prince of Zhao County is out of Bashu to pacify Jiannan Road. Jianghuai Rebellion?"

Yu Chigong said without hesitation: "King Qin!"
