Xing Guogong's mansion.
"Liu Renneng is an idiot! A strong second-level qi trainer can't even deal with a waste who has just entered qi training. I'm so angry!" Li Yao threw the communication jade slip in his hand and stared at the current staff : "What should we do now? Li Ye has returned to Chang'an, and Liu Renneng hasn't replied yet. Could it be that he is dead?!"
The Confucian-looking staff member sighed, "It stands to reason that Liu Renneng will not miss it, but if my sapphire glass gourd is taken by Li Ye, and if Liu Renneng underestimates the enemy, it is not impossible... The problem now is , Our people also saw on the street that those Taoist priests in Taixuan Hall were brought back to Prince An's Mansion by Li Ye."
"Those Taoist priests must be snatched out!" Li Yao gritted his teeth, "If those Taoist priests confessed to me and Li Ye sued me to Chang'an Mansion and Zongzheng Temple, the world would know that I, Li Yao, murdered Li Ye!"
The staff pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Now the Duke is away on business, and he will not return in two days. This is a big matter, why don't we wait for the Duke to return before making plans?"
Li Yao was even more angry, staring at his staff with a sullen face: "You mean, I can't even deal with a trash who can't practice for twenty years, and I need my father to stand up for me?!"
The staff member opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, what could he say.
"Although my father went out on a business trip and took away the masters in the mansion, there are still a few guests on the first and second floors of Qi training. Li Ye is just entering Qi training, even if he has a sapphire glazed gourd in his hand, after all, there is no other Qi training in Prince An's mansion." Qi master, how big waves can he make? What's more, among the officials and guards in Prince An's Mansion, I am not one of them!"
Li Yao quickly made up his mind, "The people who sent the order to Prince An's Mansion set fire at night and caused chaos. Our people started at the same time to snatch those Taoist priests. In any case, those Taoist priests cannot be allowed to testify in turn. This young master... has long nights and dreams, go and arrange it immediately!"
The staff thought about it, but there was no better way, "It's the only way to go now."
Li Yao said viciously: "If things don't go well, at worst, I will do it myself. I don't believe it. Then Li Ye can really stand up and compete with me for the title of King An? What a dream!"
The staff looked startled and didn't dare to say any more.
Li Yao, as a genius among the clan's children, now has the third level of Qi training!
The monks in the world, who have not reached the top in Qi training, are first-class geniuses, and they have reached the third level of Qi training in their twenties, and their cultivation is already astonishing.
In today's Chang'an City, there are not many masters of high-level Qi training. Among them, the highest cultivation bases are the lieutenants of Shence Army, eunuch Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue.
As the General of Zuowei, Xing Guogong himself has the middle level of Qi training, but there are still very few guests in the house who have reached the third level of Qi training.
After all, with the third level of Qi training, it is possible for an official to become an official of the fifth rank. According to the official laws of the Tang Dynasty, he is in charge of the governor of a state, which is only the fourth rank. How can such a master be someone else's staff and guest
...
Originally, when Li Ye was not awarded the title of King An during the coronation ceremony, Li Yao would immediately try to seek the title of King An. According to Li Ye's previous life experience, Li Yao succeeded, which was half a month later.
So at the moment, many people in Prince An's Mansion have taken refuge in Li Yao, and seized the opportunity to beg for mercy from him, the "new master".
Li Yao's order was quickly conveyed to Prince An's Mansion.
Recorder Song Ziwen joined the army, head of guard Zhao Xingyuan, and steward Qian Zhong gathered in a remote room at this moment, secretly discussing Shi Liyao's plan.
"Since that guy Li Ye came back from Taixuanding, the palace has been in chaos. Shangguan Qingcheng instigated those soldiers to cause a disturbance in the mansion, and everyone publicized Li Ye's deeds in Taixuanding. Who is the current palace? Isn't it respectful when you see Li Ye? If things go on like this, within a few days, the palace will really belong to Li Ye!"
Song Ziwen said angrily when he joined the army.
"That guy Li Ye also stepped on dog shit, so that he won the Dao luck left by Yuan Tianshi, and stepped into the qi refining period in one fell swoop... After achieving qi training, his status will be different immediately. People in the palace, right Li Ye's impression has changed, and it's also expected that he will flatter and flatter him."
Zhao Xingyuan, the head of the guards, said in a deep voice.
"Hey, who would have thought that a trash who couldn't practice for twenty years would suddenly be able to practice Qi?" Qian Zhong, the steward, sighed, "Fortunately, Young Master Yao has responded in time. Occupy the momentum."
"That's right! Mr. Yao is a genius of the clan, and his father is the Duke of the State and the General of the Left Guard. His power is deeply entrenched. Unlike Li Ye, since the death of King An, there has been no qi practitioner in the family. As long as the matter is done tonight It's done, with Mr. Yao's influence, if he wants to win the title of King An, he is still within reach!" Song Ziwen said.
"Song Canjun is right. Tonight's incident is just an opportunity for me to make meritorious service. As long as we help Mr. Yao complete this matter, why don't you worry about Mr. Yao's use of me after he enters Prince An's Mansion?" Zhao Xingyuan's eyes were firm, "Since I have taken refuge in Mr. Yao, there is no way out!"
While everyone was talking, there was a sudden voice outside the house. Song Ziwen frowned, got up and opened the door, and scolded coldly, "What's the noise?"
"Reporting to join the army, my son has passed on a message that a banquet will be held in the mansion today to celebrate my son's achievement of Qi training. Joining the army and others are also invited." A vigilant person ran outside the door.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong looked at each other, and they all showed excitement from time to time: "Since there is a big banquet today, the banquet will be held, and when everyone is drunk, it is the opportunity for me to set fire! Li Ye is really looking for his own death!"
At dusk, all the subordinate officials and generals of the palace gathered in the setting hall.
Inside and outside the hall, lanterns hang high, the sound of silk and bamboo, servants and maids shuttle back and forth with dishes, it is very lively.
Li Ye took the lead, watching the officers and generals who kept coming in to congratulate them, with a smile on his face.
As a reborn person, Li Ye knew very well that many people in Prince An's Mansion had taken refuge in Li Yao at this time.
After all, at this time in the previous life, Li Yao was about to get the title of King An, and those who knew the current affairs and had two ambitions in the palace rushed to join Li Yao and showed their loyalty, so that when Li Yao entered the palace of Prince An, he could To be reused, to be promoted to the rank of official.
If Li Ye wanted to truly control Prince An's Mansion, he had to get rid of these people.
"The palace has eight hundred guards and dozens of officials and officials. If I get the loyalty of these people and gather everyone's luck through dragon energy, I don't know if my cultivation can go further and enter the second level of Qi training." Li Ye saw everyone They entered the hall one after another and sat down, thinking silently in their hearts.
As Zeng Jin's great monk, Li Ye is very dissatisfied with his current cultivation level
Too weak.
Because of Shangguan Qingcheng's arrangement, many people in the palace have become respectful and loyal to Li Ye.
As the son of the royal family, with the cultivation base of the Qi refining period, it is logical to get these.
But the dragon aura in Li Ye's body did not move for a long time. After careful observation, Li Ye found that since he returned to the palace, the dragon aura had been shrouded in a haze, which faintly blocked the gathering of everyone's luck.
Li Ye was very knowledgeable, and quickly analyzed the reason: "This is a phenomenon where a villain is in power and luck is difficult to gather."
Loyal and upright people around him will naturally make people feel lucky, while villains around them will have the opposite effect.
In order to gather the luck of all people and achieve the goal of "many people, powerful people", it is necessary to get rid of villains.
It is also easy to understand that there are good and bad people around anyone. Some people are virtuous, talented, and self-motivated, and they can complement each other, and their luck will increase, which will naturally help them succeed; If one loses one's reputation, one's luck will decrease, which naturally hinders one's success.
The former is beneficial and the latter is harmful.
For ordinary people, it is necessary to be cautious in making friends, and for the hostess, it is also necessary to be cautious in gathering crowds. To succeed, you have to be close to the "virtuous" and far away from the "sycophant".
Li Ye thought in his heart: "To clear away the haze on the Dragon Qi and bring together the luck of everyone in the palace, we must first eradicate these villains—those who have taken refuge in Li Yao."
Li Ye remained calm, and exchanged cups with everyone, drinking and drinking.
The singing and dancing in the hall has changed one after another.
Two hours later, the banquet came to a comfortable place.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingcheng stepped forward to report: "My lord, everything is done."
Li Ye nodded: "A soldier enters the courtyard."
"Decree." Shangguan Qingcheng clasped his fists down, came to the entrance of the hall, and said in a low voice: "Soldiers are in place!"
The soldiers who had followed Li Ye to the Taixuan Peak were already Li Ye's confidantes. At this moment, they had been ordered by Shangguan Qingcheng to rush into the courtyard, stand still in the Chaoshou corridor and outside the corridor, press the handle of the knife, full of energy and menacing , Staring at the officials sitting behind the small case.
Seeing such battles, people who drink, eat, and enjoy music are all shocked.
After the small case, the expressions of Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong who were standing by the courtyard changed.
After a while, all eyes were on Li Ye who was sitting high in the hall, wanting to know what he wanted to do.
Li Ye, who was on the main seat, had already stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at the people in the hall, and said slowly: "It is a happy event for this son to achieve Qi training, but some people don't want to see it and want to harm me This son has no choice but to set aside this Hongmen banquet and order Shangguan Qingcheng to take the opportunity to investigate. Now I want to tell you that there are traitors from the palace among the people present!"
When everyone heard this, some were surprised, some were puzzled, some were shocked, and some were perturbed.
Someone got up from behind the meal table and clasped fists at Li Ye, but it turned out to be the head of a royal family member. He said angrily: "Dare to ask the prince, where are these thieves? I am willing to take their heads off for the prince!"
But this is a clever one, rushing to show his loyalty in front of Li Ye.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong looked at each other from a distance, and they all sensed each other's panic.
Li Ye looked at Shangguan Qingcheng, "General Shangguan, who did you find?"
Shangguan Qingcheng took out a book, glanced at everyone, and read slowly in the eyes of the two closely watching: "Recorder Song Ziwen joined the army, head Zhao Xingyuan, manager Qian Zhong, intends to set fire to the palace tonight!"

"What?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Damn it!"
"Where are these three thieves?"
The people in the hall were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and they stood up one after another, searching for Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong and others.
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong's expressions changed drastically, and they got up quickly, ready to argue.
Shangguan Qingcheng did not pause at all, and waved his hand: "Take it!"
The soldiers rushed forward without any explanation, threw the three people down, escorted them to the courtyard, and made them kneel down.
"You are wronged, my son!"
"I am loyal, how could I do such a thing!"
"The prince said that we intend to set fire, what evidence is there?!"
Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong and the others didn't dare to resist because there were too many soldiers in the courtyard, but they all immediately defended themselves.
"Want evidence? I'll give it to you." Shangguan Qingcheng sneered, "Bring it up!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers pressed a group of petty officials, sergeants, and servants into the courtyard. Not only that, some soldiers also threw things that were set on fire, such as grease and fire talismans, on the ground.
Seeing these people and things, Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong all turned pale and almost wailed.
If you want to set fire to the palace, make a big commotion, and achieve the purpose of covering Li Yao from stealing people, of course it won't work if the pomp is small, so naturally you have to arrange people and prepare things for arson.
The people who were brought in by the soldiers were the arsonists arranged by Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan and Qian Zhong.
"This is impossible!" The three of them almost screamed.
They thought that the matter was done in a secret way so that they would not be noticed. At this moment, they couldn't figure out how Li Ye knew about it, and how Shangguan Qingcheng could accurately find out those who were planning to set fire in just two hours. people, and quietly controlled them all, and found those grease and fire talismans.
