Chapter 286: Each with His Own Agenda (4)

The men sent by Li Er flew out of Cuiwei Palace and headed for Chang'an, summoning the Crown Prince to Cuiwei Palace for an audience.

"Did you know? His Majesty has sent people to Chang'an to summon the Crown Prince to Cuiwei Palace for an audience! In this case, won't our plan go to waste?" Chai Lingwu shouted as he entered

the palace. As soon as he got the news, he immediately rushed to see Fang Yiai, but he saw that Fang Yiai looked calm and was grinding ink to write.

He didn't look anxious at all. Wasn't he afraid that the Crown Prince would arrive at Cuiwei Palace and His Majesty would die? At that time, the Crown Prince would directly succeed to the throne, and it would not be their turn to correct the edict.

"You don't have to panic! I had expected this result. I ordered people to kill the messenger on the way, and the prince will never come to Cuiwei Palace."

"Your Majesty will definitely feel resentful of the prince if he waits and waits but sees no sign of him. By then, wouldn't it be more beneficial to us?" Fang Yiai smiled.

How could he let such a thing happen? He had already arranged for people to ambush and kill Li Er's messenger on the way.

Then, he pretended to be a messenger and went to Chang'an to send a letter to Li Chengqian, asking Li Chengqian not to stay in Chang'an and to go to Luoyang for a tour, which would facilitate the implementation of his plan.

Then the messenger returned to Cuiwei Palace and reported to Li Er, saying that Li Chengqian refused to come to Cuiwei Palace to meet the emperor!

By then, Li Er would certainly be angry and humiliated, and he might even be so angry that he would die.

While Li Er was dying, Crown Prince Li Chengqian left Chang'an and went to Luoyang. This was the best time for them to help Li Zhi ascend to the throne.

As for whether the reality could be as good as he thought, it would depend on God's will!

"So that's the case. Brother Fang is still wise. I admire him. I feel relieved!" Chai Lingwu said.

"Just wait for good news! This time we will never repeat the fate of King Pu. We will win this time. The destiny is on King Jin." Fang Yiai said.

Chai Lingwu nodded. Although he said nothing, his eyes were shining, which was enough to prove his mood at that time.

Their conversation was heard by the maid hiding nearby. The maid left quietly and went to tell Princess Gaoyang.

"What did you say? Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu conspired to harm the prince? Are you serious?" Princess Gaoyang was shocked after hearing this!

She was sent by Li Chengqian to keep an eye on that idiot Fang Yiai.

"It's absolutely true. I heard it clearly and I would never dare to lie to you! Not only that, they also planned to attack General Li Anyan." said the maid.

"Fang Yiai and his gang are so stupid. They think their plan is perfect. Do they really think everyone else is a fool?"

"How can my royal brother be fooled by him? With their brains, they want to rebel. They are simply looking for death."

"No wonder my fourth brother Qingque failed to seize the throne. This group of self-righteous idiots seems to have contributed a lot." Princess Gaoyang lay lazily on the couch.

Now she is getting more and more disappointed with Fang Yiai and others. She thought they could have some clever tricks, but they were all stupid.

They even wanted to help Li Zhi to take the throne. It was simply a daydream. They were hopelessly stupid.

"Princess, should we send someone to inform General Li Anyan and let him prepare?" asked the maid.

Princess Gaoyang stood up and said with a smile, "No need! Li Anyan is a thief, how could he fall into Fang Yiai's trap? Fang Yiai is still far from being able to deal with Li Anyan."

"If Li Anyan can't even deal with Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu, then he doesn't deserve the favor of the eldest emperor." Princess Gaoyang said.

If Li Anyan really has only this little ability, he deserves to die.

"Then should we send someone to quietly return to Chang'an to inform the prince." The maid said.

"No need! You can leave!" Princess Gaoyang waved her

hand. "Yes!" The maid bowed and left .

...

In Chang'an City, in the East Palace, Li Chengqian had just returned from the Xiande Palace. When he was walking around the East Palace casually, a eunuch hurriedly ran to Li Chengqian, followed by another person.

Li Chengqian leaned on his dragon-head cane and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My lord! His Majesty sent someone to deliver a message!" the eunuch saluted.

"Greetings, my lord!" the person behind the eunuch stood up and saluted.

"What does His Majesty want you to deliver?" Li Chengqian asked.

"My lord, His Majesty has ordered that the situation in Luoyang has changed, and you need to go to Luoyang in person to inspect and investigate. This matter is extremely urgent, so please leave as soon as possible." The person said.

Li Chengqian sneered in his heart. He would not know if there was any trouble in Luoyang. Now he had no news at all, but suddenly someone came and told him that he was ordered to go to Luoyang. Obviously

, this was a trap. Obviously someone wanted to lure him away from the mountain. Did they really think he was stupid?

"Oh! What happened in Luoyang? Your Majesty is so anxious to let me go to Luoyang? Has your Majesty explained?" Li Chengqian asked.

"My dear, I am just delivering a message for your Majesty. I don't know what the specific matter is. Please don't make it difficult for me and leave quickly." The visitor said.

"Since you don't know what the big deal is, there must be an imperial edict from your Majesty, right?" Li Chengqian asked.

"To be honest with you, your Majesty only asked me to deliver a message, but there is no imperial edict." The visitor said.

"Got it! You should go back to Cuiwei Palace to report to your Majesty now. I will go to Luoyang after I finish dealing with the affairs in Chang'an." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" The visitor bowed and left.

"My dear! Are we really going to Luoyang?" Wang Quan asked after the visitor left.

"This is someone trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain and trick me into leaving Chang'an. They really thought I was so stupid that I couldn't see their conspiracy." Li Chengqian said.

"My lord is wise!" Wang Quan said.

"It seems that my father's health is not good over at Cuiwei Palace. We should do something." Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan was shocked and said, "What do you mean? What should we do now?"

"It seems that we should set off as soon as possible to Cuiwei Palace to meet His Majesty!" Li Chengqian said.

"I will arrange a carriage now!" Wang Quan said.

"Don't rush to prepare the carriages. Go and get Yu Zhining, the left minister, Zhang Xingcheng, the junior secretary, Gao Jifu, the inspector of the Ministry of Justice, the right minister, and the vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to come to see me." Li Chengqian said.

If you want to go to Cuiwei Palace, you must first hand over the affairs of Chang'an to these three ministers.

"Yes!" Wang Quan took the order and left. While asking people to prepare the carriages and the guards, he sent people to invite Yu Zhining and the other two.

Soon, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng, and Gao Jifu were brought into the palace to meet Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian explained to the three of them, he set off to Cuiwei Palace to meet Li Er.
