At this time in the previous life, Li Yan did not tell Li Ye these things, so although he had a grudge against King An's death in Huainan and the court did not grant a reward, it was just a grudge, after all, he was exiled soon after. It's a market, and at that time the mud bodhisattva crossed the river, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless.
Li Ye glanced at Li Yan, and suddenly said: "I'm afraid you haven't finished the rumors you've heard?"
Li Yan was stunned: "How do you know?" He shook his head, a little embarrassed, "Don't blame me for not finishing my sentence once, the following words are really too shocking, and the criticisms of the court and His Majesty are all Too heavy, I didn't intend to say... "
He was thinking simply, and he only planned to say half of what he said. His immaturity can be seen from this.
Li Ye sneered: "The rumors must be that my father died at the hands of the court, right? Those who rescued Pang Xun, those who besieged and killed his father, including those who later captured Pang Xun, were all The masters of the imperial court—besides the imperial court, is there any immortal sect or feudal town in the world that can gather a group of monks with such high cultivation?"
"And the person who presided over all of this in front must be Kang Chengxun. Oh, by the way, Duke Xing was also in the army at the time, so he must have been involved in this matter. In other words, the death of my father was not on the battlefield, but on the battlefield. Suspicious of the king!"
Li Yan opened his mouth wide and was speechless. It took him a while to say in surprise: "How do you know this... Could it be that you also heard those rumors?"
Li Ye sneered, "Aside from that, is there any other possibility?"
Li Yan was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said in a dazed voice: "This matter is too sensational, and after all, it is a rumor in the world, so it can't be true, so don't just believe this rumor."
Telling the rumor to Li Ye, and hoping that Li Ye would not believe the rumor, this kind of words and deeds would appear to be a disorder of cause and effect.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye said seriously: "Of course these are all rumors. Those who are dissatisfied with the imperial court must spread them out on purpose to confuse people's hearts! My father has contributed a lot to the country all his life, and it was because His Majesty valued him that he was canonized as Prince. How could His Majesty be suspicious of father when he is in charge of the military and political power, and an extremely personable minister? It is such a rumor that confuses the public, it smears the court and also smears my father, of course I will not believe it!"
Li Yan didn't expect Li Ye to come to such a conclusion in the end, she was stunned for a long time before she realized that what Li Ye said was indeed reasonable, she couldn't help feeling admiration for Li Ye's awareness, and said sincerely: "Brother Ye You really understand righteousness!"
Li Ye smiled, and asked casually: "Who are the people who spread these rumors? Have you ever seen them? There are such rumors everywhere, so the government doesn't care?"
Li Yan didn't think that Li Ye's words had other meanings, so he said naturally: "What I heard in the market is that some people are talking about it, but the officials of the Eastern Capital arrested some people, but they didn't ask where the rumors started. .”

Li Ye nodded, took a sip from his wine glass, and used this to hide the disappointment that flashed in his eyes: "That's a pity. If those who spread rumors are caught, they must be severely punished."
Li Yan: "That's natural!"
...
Li Yan really planned to live in Prince An's Mansion to ensure Li Ye's safety, but in the end Li Ye persuaded him to leave.
In the case that Prince An's Mansion has already been attacked by the "Pang Xun Remnant Party", if Li Ye encounters any misfortune, then the court's face will really be wiped out. Chang'an Mansion and those big shots will not allow such a thing to happen ——Although there are signs of chaos in the world, after all, there is no real chaos — this is why Li Guanshu dare not really do anything to Li Ye.
The court still needs face. In a sense, face represents majesty and order. A court without face cannot control the order of the world.
After seeing off Li Yan, Li Ye sat in the hall, lost in thought.
Shangguan Qingcheng was standing next to him. Seeing that Li Ye had been silent, he couldn't hold back after holding back for a long time, and asked aloud, "Your Majesty really doesn't believe His Highness Prince Pu's words... those rumors?"
Li Ye glanced at Shangguan Qingcheng: "Do you believe it?"
Shangguan Qingcheng pondered for a moment, subconsciously bit his bright red lips, and then tentatively said after a while: "It's not...it's totally unreasonable."
Li Ye sneered: "It's not completely unreasonable, but it's extremely close to the truth."
Shangguan Qingcheng was stunned: "Then why did the son speak like that in front of His Highness Prince Pu?"
Li Ye looked outside the door. It was sunset at this time, and the last ray of sunlight had dissipated. The locust trees on the courtyard wall outside the door cast shadows.
He slowly said: "Prince Pu's mouth is not strict, and he has no rules in his actions. If I show doubts about my father's death, dissatisfaction with the court and His Majesty, and let others know, should I continue to be a prince? , Do you still want to be an official in the future? If it is more serious, my life will be in danger."
Shangguan Qingcheng let out an ah, and after thinking for a long time, she finally understood that she is a general with a pure heart, and is not used to these schemes: "I see."
However, she changed her mind and frowned slightly: "My son... If things are true as the rumors say, then King An..."
Li Ye's eyebrows were low and he didn't speak.
Shangguan Qingcheng seemed to realize something, her fair face became even paler, and she almost exclaimed: "If this is the truth, then the future... won't it be difficult for the son?"
Of course it was difficult, if Li Xian was plotted to death by the court, then it would be as difficult and almost impossible for Li Ye to become an official in the future if he wanted to achieve something and master the power to compete with the princes in troubled times.
The imperial court couldn't tolerate Li Xian, so naturally it couldn't tolerate Li Ye either.
Li Ye looked at the shadows in the yard outside the door: "That's why I asked King Pu, where did those rumors come from... If the rumors are true, then those who know these secrets must not be ordinary people. People from Kang Chengxun and Xing Guogong's side naturally wouldn't spread rumors indiscriminately, so those who spread these rumors are very likely to be father's protégés."
Shangguan Qingcheng was puzzled and asked: "An old subordinate of King An?"
Li Ye nodded: "Of course they have a purpose in spreading these rumors. The question is, what is their purpose? To complain for father, to complain for father? If so, it proves that they are at least loyal to father. If I can find them, It's not hard to make them work for me."
Naturally, King An's subordinates and cronies will not be just pretending to be numbers.
If Li Ye wants to make some achievements in the coming troubled times, he first needs to gather people and have his own team. If he can gather those people under his command, the benefits will be needless to say.
Shangguan Qingcheng was disappointed and said: "It's a pity that King Pu doesn't know who those people are."
Li Ye smiled: "Don't be disappointed, this is good news." Shangguan Qingcheng was puzzled: "Good news?"
Li Ye said: "If Prince Pu knows who they are, the court will naturally know who they are, and they will be arrested by the court... Now that they have not revealed their identities, it means that they are still safe, that is to say, I will have the opportunity to meet them in the future.”
Shangguan Qingcheng came to a sudden: "The son of the world is a lesson."
Suddenly she worried again: "Just in this way, will the imperial court let the prince inherit the noble? What will the prince do after he inherits the noble? The imperial court, Your Majesty, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to make contributions... "
If Li Xian hadn't died suddenly in Huainan, Li Ye wouldn't be in such a miserable situation now, nor would he have lived in the market in his previous life, suffered all kinds of hardships, and finally died with hatred.
It can even be said that if Li Xian hadn't died early, whether Huang Chao could break through Chang'an in a few years' time would be unclear.
Li Ye's gaze passed through the heavy shadows outside the door, and landed in an unknown distance. There was twilight for thousands of miles, and even the lights of Chang'an City could hardly dispel it: "It's not a big problem to attack the noble, after all, the obstacles It has been cleared away, as for the official... "
He was silent for a moment, and said something that made Shangguan Qingcheng puzzled: "Your Majesty, you will not live long..."
...
Prime Minister's Mansion.
The room was brightly lit, and Wei Baoheng, Kang Chengxun, and Li Guanshu sat together and had a conversation.
"In the face of the duke's coercion, he can be calm and composed, even when he knows he can't take a move from the duke, he will not hesitate to fight with his life, and he can even be ordered by the royal family to stop him. In this way, this son of Prince An is not only An idiot, on the contrary, became a rare handsome man overnight, with a good mind, knowledge and skills, already a formidable younger generation?"
The prime minister, Wei Baoheng, had lowered his eyes when he spoke, and although his tone was flat, it was not without irony. It was unclear whether he was mocking the impermanence of the world or the incompetence of some people.
Li Guanshu, Xing Guogong after the small case on the left, has an unsightly expression. Anyone who encounters him in such a situation will have an unsightly expression: "Yao'er was indeed a little reckless in the Prince An's mansion, and it's also my fault for being negligent in discipline... ... But Li Ye, who got the Dao luck left by Yuan Tianshi in Taixuanding, can be described as a huge change overnight. It's very different from usual."
Kang Chengxun, who is currently the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, who happened to return to Beijing to report on his duties, teased after hearing these words: "Duke said this, do you regret your decision to seek the young prince? Listen to the meaning of what the duke said. If Li Ye had the knowledge of his mind and nature back then, the Duke would not have dared to think about his title of Prince An?"
Li Guanshu said in a deep voice, "What does Duke Kang mean by this?"
Kang Chengxun shook his head and sighed: "Don't be angry, Duke, but according to the current situation, is the Duke planning to exchange the title of King An for Young Master Yao with that little son of Li Ye? If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible? The Duke is afraid of Li Ye The child's heart and wrist? If this matter gets out, how will the Duke stand above the court in the future?"
Li Guanshu said with a black face: "Mr. Kang, why do you have to speak so harshly? Now that Yao'er is in Li Ye's hands, what can I do? Mr. Kang has never seen Li Ye today, so he doesn't even know how big this kid is. Variety."
Kang Chengxun let out a chuckle: "No matter how big the change is, how powerful is that kid, can he compare to Li Xian? You and I have plotted against Li Xian, so why are you afraid of this young kid?"
