No one knew the whereabouts of King Linzi. After the crown prince led his army to win the great victory in Mobei, such unknowns were enough to cause an uproar in the ruling and opposition parties.

At first, some officials wrote a letter speculating that Linzi Wang Xu was kidnapped by gangsters on his way to Northwest Daying.This is a relatively reasonable explanation, but hijacking a country's prince can be regarded as a serious crime of ransacking one's family and destroying one's ancestors. Who is this daring "villain" is tacitly understood by both the speaker and the listener.

In the courtroom, the false and true rumors became more and more arrogant. Everyone had already believed it, but they dared not announce that name.After all, "slandering the prince" is no less serious than any crime that can ruin his official career.

A few days later, Ke Shilang found someone from the Northwest Army temporarily stationed in Gyeonggi. Go to Xuanzheng Hall.

Paper can't hold fire, and in the end someone is willing to speak up.

The soldier of the Northwest Camp said that he had seen the King of Linzi and his guards in the middle of the night about a month ago—a single fire could still be seen across the school grounds and a spruce forest, and all crimes were committed in the dark and silent Then the king of Linzi disappeared, and the entourage who came with him also disappeared without a trace.The officers and soldiers of the Northwest Camp acted like the prince's private soldiers, and they kept the events of that night a secret, but that was the king of Linzi after all, how could the prince...

There was no sound in the Xuanzheng Hall, and anyone could hear the terrifying subtext in the soldier's words.

The saint listened without saying a word, until whispers gradually came from the golden hall, his tired eyelids finally moved, and he looked towards the soldiers of the Northwest Battalion with a bit of coercion.

"You mean, the crown prince imprisoned the king of Linzi and killed the thousand guards who guarded him?"

The "witness" in the hall met the emperor for the first time, and he answered "yes" tremblingly, and wanted to turn his head to look at Ke Shunzhe who brought him to the hall, but he seemed to be hesitant about some kind of exhortation before, and he couldn't stop. He stopped the movement and lowered his head.

In any case, there is some truth in this remark, he has said everything that should be said, and the answer is already very obvious.What the courtiers, or rather, the supporters of the King of Linzi needed was just such an excuse, so that they could say the following words openly.

"Treat the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest Battalion as private soldiers, detain the prince... these seem to be outside the authority of the crown prince."

Ke Shunzhe opened the mouth first, and the rest will be easier to say.

The Minister of Punishment said: "The crown prince has exceeded his authority this time, and he really doesn't take saints seriously. Ordering the Northwest Battalion to kill the personal guards Guan Linzi King, if this is serious, it is a rebellion!"

I don't know where several ministers echoed: "I implore the sage to punish the prince severely!"

Finally, Minister of the Ministry of War sighed, stood up and said: "It is true that the matter of the prince should be investigated, but the most urgent thing is to rescue King Linzi from the Northwest."

If the accusation made by the Highness today is true, and the prince is still dealing with the aftermath in Mobei, at this time the imperial court sent people to rescue the king of Linzi, they would not have met the prince in real life...

"Boldly, I ask the sage to send sixteen guards to help rescue King Linzi."

It was Ke Shunzhe who spoke. As the main speaker of Li Jiao's faction in the court, he never said what he could say through the mouth of others, and he never showed any superfluous emotions on his face; but at this time his tone But it was very earnest, and the strange look of worry in his eyes surprised the servants on the side.

But the sage seemed to have heard something interesting, he leaned on the dragon chair casually, sat upright, and asked him:

"Why? The prince is in Mobei, and he has already handed over the soldier talisman. Could it be that the Northwest Camp will resist the order?"

No, the prince will definitely come.

Ke Shunzhe thought, but said: "Because the one in charge of dispatching all the troops in the Central Plains...in addition to the saint's tiger talisman, there is also the White Tiger Festival Hall."

When he said the name that most people in the court had never heard of, the saint's eyes narrowed as expected,

"And the real speaker of the White Tiger Festival Hall... is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince is determined not to hand over the King of Linzi, the Northwest Camp does have the possibility of resisting the decree."

can. "

In Baihutang, the sage handed over the military power of a country to Li Pei five years ago. It is absurd to put such trust in the present who can abolish the queen without hesitation and uproot the Xu family.If he hadn't witnessed the scene under the Kaiyuan gambling house two years ago, Ke Shunzhe would never have imagined that this would happen.

The saint smiled softly.

There was no anger in this laughter, but there was already a hint of dissatisfaction.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was weird, and all the officials and workers didn't know what happened, and they kept silent like cicadas.

"Then what Minister Yike means, how many guards can defeat the Prince's Northwest camp?"

Even today the sage never mentioned the king of Linzi who had been missing for nearly a month and was suspected of being detained by the crown prince. Instead, he said two words about the crown prince.

It was also at this time that an extremely bad thought suddenly came to Ke Shunzhe's mind - the King of Linzi seemed to have something important to hide from him, about today's plan, or...about all their plans.

"Returning to the saint, three thousand is enough."

Because of the thought just now, Ke Shunzhe's breath was a little unsteady when he said this, but the person on the dragon chair didn't intend to reflect on it, and said almost at the same time as his voice fell:

"That's right."

Everything was clearly going according to Ke Shunzhe's plan, but he felt that everything in the Golden Palace was weird and absurd.The saint, the king of Linzi, the courtiers, and... himself.

……

In the traditional sense, Fu Nanyin, who had just recovered from a serious illness and had just given up her confinement, regained her freedom. Accompanied by Li Pei nervously, she walked back and forth from the National Teacher's Mansion to the palace several times, climbing up and down to search for many years. The precious collection of books is put into several wooden boxes by category.

"You still imprisoned Li Jiao in the Northwest camp?"

Li Pei's heart stopped beating in Zangshu Pavilion, and he stretched out his hands in vain to protect Fu Nanyin who might fall off the stool at any time, but the latter thought he was in the way.He only asked a very casual question while taking the book.

"It's early."

Although only one month has passed since he led the Northwest Army to re-enter Mobei, Li Pei seems to have lived half his life—almost separated from his A Yin's experience of life and death. Those things in the Central Plains were like a circle of ripples that had long since dissipated on the side of the Northwest Camp. If it hadn't been mentioned suddenly, Li Pei would hardly have remembered it.

"Li Jiao planned to imprison me for seven days, so I imprisoned him for fourteen days. When He Bi led the army back to Beijing, he stopped by the Northwest Camp to release people. If you think about it, it's time to return to Chang'an."

"Really?" Funanyin paused, and the scroll of bamboo on the upper right shelf fell to the ground without warning.

"How can you……"

Li Pei was about to bend down to pick it up when he saw Funanyin looking at him with a strange expression on his face. While looking at him, he took out from his sleeve a secret letter that he just got from the secret guard this morning——Funan earlier When Yin was sick, he asked someone to hand over all the information to Li Pei, and he was happy in the palace; but these hidden guards were raised by the master of the state, and they didn't quite agree with the name of the prince of the Central Plains in their master's place. In a few minutes, when Fu Nanyin recovered from his illness, those confidential documents piled up on Li Pei's desk disappeared in time and returned to the former's hands - Li Pei was also happy to be at leisure.

Now there is a problem.

"Li Jiao disappeared, and the Central Plains court said that you were the one who detained him."

Funanyin stuffed the secret document into Li Pei's hands, and she no longer had any interest in sorting out the books, she got off the stool with her hands on the shelf, and stood side by side with Li Pei.

If He Bi had been ordered to release Li Jiao from the dungeon half a month ago, why didn't he return to Chang'an?Now the wind in the court is pointing at Li Pei again, if he is convicted of imprisoning and imprisoning King Linzi, his heir apparent...

After reading the letter, Li Pei turned his head to A Yin and smiled.

"The national teacher is in trouble now. Not only are the dark guards all over Mobei, but even Chang'an has placed your eyeliner. You know what happened in the court so quickly. It seems that in the future...you will have to cover the sky with one hand."

Fu Nanyin frowned and looked at him, then sighed slightly, and said to him as if in cooperation: "After all, you will be from the Central Plains in the future."

The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge, and the new official should always find out before taking office.By the way... look at how many more troubles my Prince Highness has. "

Li Pei didn't seem to mind any trouble, just raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to wrap Fu Nanyin's shoulders and pulled him into his arms.The hand holding the person's shoulder originally held the letter paper, but now it is crumpled into a ball, and it is unknown whether the person did it on purpose or not.

"Shang Shu has not taken office yet, so the relationship should be made clear first. But it is right, it is indeed 'Your Royal Highness', my Fu Aiqing..."

Funanyin looked at him more and more strangely.

He squeezed the man's chin and gently pulled it towards himself, and then his lips covered it.At first, it was a gentle and slow caress, which was tender and filled with some reluctance.He called:

"Qingqing..."

"My dear..."

Then, without waiting for Funanyin's reaction, he used his tongue to pry open his lips and teeth, and kissed him deeply, sucking and biting like a declaration of sovereignty, until the latter's breathing gradually became difficult, and then he retreated from it, unwilling to let go He kissed him briefly on the corner of the mouth.

"It seems that I still have to go to the Northwest Camp."

Funanyin's chest was still rising and falling slightly, he was a little exhausted by the kiss, so he simply leaned on Li Pei's shoulder, "It's time to go...to meet the people sent by the court to rescue Li Jiao."

Li Pei smiled narrowly, lowered his head, and saw Fu Nanyin's eyes were watery, his face was flushed, and he looked tantalizingly tantalizing.

A little distracted, the slight reluctance in Li Pei's heart came out again.Even though the two are still unnamed, they lived a month in Mobei like newlyweds; naturally, there was an extra one in the side hall.

"Stay here and take care of yourself with Ah Fei, and wait for me to come back to pick you up."

Funanyin shook her head, and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Li Pei.

"I know you don't want to part with your husband, but be obedient, the matter of the Northwest Camp is not difficult, and I will be back soon."

"No need to come back."

Funanyin removed Li Pei's hand covering her mouth.He didn't judge whether Li Jiao's plan was tricky, and he didn't ask how long Li Pei's "soon" was.He said no need to come back.

"See you in Chang'an."

The eyes of the two met in the void, and then they turned to both sides tacitly.

After a long while, as if he had thought of something, or finally made up his mind, Li Pei, who was immersed in a gloomy and cold look, suddenly said to the people beside him:

"You take away all the hands I left behind in Mobei."

Funanyin hooked her lips and did not refuse this time.

"it is good."
