Chapter 39 The Art of Winning (3)

"Hey! Wu Ting, Ren Gui! Why are you here? What's the matter?"

As soon as Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he saw Cheng Wu Ting and Xue Ren Gui discussing something with Du He.

He wondered in his heart, why are the three of them gathered together, what are they discussing?

"Your Highness!" Du He, Cheng Wu Ting and Xue Ren Gui hurriedly saluted when they saw Li Chengqian coming back.

"Your Highness! Du He said that you are in danger and asked the two of us to come to the East Palace to protect you!" Cheng Wu Ting said after Li Chengqian sat down in the main seat.

Li Chengqian was immediately dumbfounded. He was here well, how could he be in danger? Du He was too alarmist.

Li Chengqian looked at Du He and asked, "What's going on?"

He needed Du He to give him a satisfactory answer. It was not a good start to summon the left and right eunuchs of the Eastern Palace privately.

"Your Highness! I saw that after you read the secret letter, you looked flustered and hurried into the palace to meet His Majesty! I was worried that something might happen, so I called them here."

"Your Highness! What happened? Is the King of Wei restless again?" Du He said.

"When has the King of Wei ever been quiet! My brother has been plotting to take my position as the crown prince for a long time!"

"It's not surprising if he does something. It would be really strange if he didn't make some noise." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! What exactly is the reason? What makes you so eager to meet His Majesty!" Du He asked the question in his heart.

Cheng Wuting and Xue Rengui looked at each other. They had not seen Li Chengqian's expression at that time, and they could not imagine what was going on at that time.

"Secret report, Liu Li wanted to frame me for using the art of disgust and curse my father to die soon." Li Chengqian clenched his hands and said.

"What?" Du He and the other two were all shocked! If they really confirmed that the prince did it, then the prince would be finished.

"Then, what does your majesty say?" Du He asked.

"My father said that he would handle the matter and told me not to worry." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! Even if that's the case, we have to do it! Otherwise, I will go and stop Liu Li." Xue Rengui said.

"No need! If I guess correctly, Liu Li has already appeared in front of my father and reported me." Li Chengqian said.

"Are we just going to wait like this, Your Highness! What should we do next?" Du He said.

"Don't act rashly now! We don't know what Liu Li has in his hands. He must have made sufficient preparations to frame me." "

Fortunately, I took the lead and explained this to Your Majesty. Even if Liu Li speaks sweet words in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not believe him."

"Therefore, we still have a chance to turn the situation around. Now we need to know what Liu Li will do next." Li Chengqian said.

During this period, he had been focusing on newspapers and magazines, and relaxed his vigilance against Li Tai and others, thinking that as long as Li Tai's left and right arms were cut off, he would not be able to cause any trouble.

Li Chengqian then realized how ridiculous he was wrong, and underestimated Li Tai's determination to seize the throne and the ambitions of his gang. He

also underestimated the other party's shamelessness. He really did use any means to achieve his goals, and dared to use any despicable means.

Fortunately, he had planted a spy next to Li Tai, so he was not completely defenseless.

If it weren't for this insider, he might have been guarded by the imperial guards now, and the entire East Palace would have been blocked.

"Your Highness! The Minister of the Central Secretariat Yang Shidao requests to see you!" A eunuch walked in and saluted.

"What is the Minister of the Central Secretariat doing in the East Palace?" Du He asked in confusion.

Yang Shidao was the second husband of Princess Changguang and the stepfather of Zhao Jie, one of the crown prince's close friends. He served as Shizhong in the tenth year of Zhenguan and was promoted to Zhongshu Ling in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. He was the prime minister

of the current dynasty. He was always cautious and had little contact with the Eastern Palace. If there was nothing wrong, he would never enter the Eastern Palace privately .

Li Chengqian immediately thought of a possibility, that is, when Liu Li reported him, he must have put the evidence against him in front of Li Er.

"He should be here to interrogate me. Please ask Zhongshu Ling to come in." Li Chengqian said, and said to the eunuch.

"Your Highness! Zhongshu Ling said that he was ordered by His Majesty to ask Your Highness something important! Let Your Highness move to Xiande Hall." The eunuch said.

"What? The Minister of the Central Secretariat is so bold. What does he want to do?" Before Li Chengqian said anything, Du He was already dissatisfied. "

Then I will go to Xiande Hall to see my uncle." Li Chengqian stood up and walked out. Li

Chengqian sat on the sedan chair that was ready and was carried to Xiande Hall. Du He and others were left in Lizheng Hall by Li Chengqian.

Yang Shidao came here just to ask about the art of victory. At most, it was just a routine inquiry. It was not a threat to him, Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian got off the sedan chair and entered Xiande Hall. Yang Shidao hurriedly came up to greet Li Chengqian and saluted to him, saying, "Your servant Yang Shidao pays homage to the Crown Prince!"

"Uncle, there is no need to be polite!" Li Chengqian supported Yang Shidao.

"I wonder why my uncle came to my East Palace today?" Li Chengqian knew the consultant.

"Your Highness! Today Liu Li came to the palace to report to His Majesty that you used the art of hatred to curse His Majesty's return to heaven. His Majesty asked me to ask Your Highness some questions!" Yang Shidao did not hide anything and directly told Li Chengqian that the purpose of his coming was to record his confession.

"What? Liu Li really wants to frame me." Li Chengqian pretended to be shocked!

"Your Highness! Why do you say that?" Yang Shidao asked in confusion.

He felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, and there was something inside that he didn't know.

"Today I received a letter from a mysterious person in the East Palace, saying that Liu Li wanted to frame me for cursing my father with the art of hatred."

"I went to the palace to see my father early in the morning and told him about this matter, asking him to make the decision for me. Didn't he tell my uncle about this?" Li Chengqian said.

Yang Shidao was stunned! This Emperor Li Er really didn't tell him, but just asked him to come to the East Palace to ask. At first he wondered where to start asking. It turned out that the problem was here.

"Your Highness, can you tell me the situation at that time! This will help solve this case." Yang Shidao said.

"The situation at that time was like this..." Li Chengqian repeated what he said to Li Er and told Yang Shidao again.

After hearing this, Yang Shidao asked to see the person who had been in contact with this matter, so Li Chengqian ordered someone to call the eunuch who passed him the note in the morning and let Yang Shidao question him.

After some questioning, Yang Shidao had a little idea about this case, but he was still confused.

"Your Highness! I still have to meet with Changsun Situ and others to discuss the case. So I'll take my leave now!" After understanding everything, Yang Shidao was about to leave. "

Uncle, take care! Wang Quan will see you off for me." Li Chengqian said, and asked Wang Quan to see Yang Shidao off from the East Palace, and Li Chengqian returned to Lizheng Hall.
