Lu Yan shook his head, he also felt that his head was big now: "If Li Guanshu didn't die in the hands of Xu Qingfeng, he could only have died in the hands of disciples of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen—maybe the disciples of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen didn't all go to besiege Nangongdi One, after Li Guanshu killed Xu Qingfeng and more than ten Taoist disciples, behead him."
"These are just conjectures! What I want is the facts, the truth!" Wei Baoheng became furious, "None of the clan's children knew the inside story?"
Lu Yan replied: "Prince Gong's son was seriously injured when he came back, and his entourage disappeared. Maybe they knew something, but after they came back, they didn't mention anything about Niu Shou Mountain."
Wei Baoheng waved his hand: "Then put pressure on them! Especially Prince Gong and Princess Li, among the clan's children, they have the highest entourage. I don't believe it. Two masters of five levels of Qi training disappeared One, they have no explanation at all! Li Guanshu's death is not a pity, but the cause of death must be investigated! It's fine if Li Ye doesn't say anything, but Prince Gong and Concubine Wu must let them say it!"
"Naturally." Lu Yan nodded, then changed the subject, "Then what is the result of this assessment?"
When Wei Baoheng thought of this, he felt annoyed for a while: "The fact that Li Guanshu framed Sanqingguan was known to all because of that Li Ye. What's the matter with this kid? He was originally a waste, but suddenly he became civilized Do you have both?"
Lu Yan shook his head with a bitter smile. In fact, everyone knows this question well, and it is nothing more than Yuan Tiangang's inheritance.
Wei Baoheng suddenly asked: "Where did Tianshi Yuan go?"
Lu Yan smiled wryly: "Tianshi Yuan disappeared for a hundred years. No one has seen him for a hundred years. Some people say that he went to sea to visit immortals, some say that he lives in seclusion in the mountains, and some say that he is already dead. Who knows."
Wei Baoheng shook his head: "Tianshi Yuan is a real person, the number one person in the world. It's good to say that he visits immortals and returns to seclusion, but I don't believe that he is dead."
After a moment of silence, Wei Baoheng knew that he had strayed from the topic, put his hand on his forehead and said: "That kid Li Ye, after all, is the heir of Prince An, even if he gets the first place in the examination, there is no need to give him any real power... Your Majesty, you can also give him a real position." Will not promise."
Lu Yan nodded. This matter is not incomprehensible to the real ruler.
"Then how to characterize Li Guanshu's death?" Lu Yan asked.
"Sanqingguan rebelled and hijacked the clan's children. Duke Xing went to rescue him alone, but unfortunately died!" Wei Baoheng said, "Li Guanshu's death is not a pity, but he must not be allowed to tarnish my reputation!"
After hearing this, Lu Yan didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart.
The story about Li Guanshu's frame of Sanqingguan's rebellion has already spread. Wei Baoheng's characterization like this is tantamount to deceiving people and stealing the bell. In the face of interests, can he back down
Wei Baoheng probably saw Lu Yan's strangeness, and said emphatically, "Li Guanshu, as the Duke of the Dynasty and the General of the Left Guard, must die with honor. There is no shortage of people with ulterior motives, but if the Duke corrupts the law to the point of corrupting people and rebelling, and harms several mountain villages, and spreads the word, isn't that telling the world that the Tang Dynasty is in chaos?!"
"What Wei Gong said is very true." Lu Yan bowed his hands, he understood Wei Baoheng's meaning, it was nothing more than whitewashing the peace.
But if the dynasty reaches the point where it needs to whitewash the peace, it will be really not peaceful.
Wu Hongshan was sitting on a high chair, looking at Wu You standing in front of him, his expression was definitely not friendly, and his voice was even more chilling: "You really don't know how Prince Gong's son was injured, and how his entourage is How did you die?"
"Father has asked many times, and the child has answered many times, why doesn't father believe it?" Wu You's tone was blunt, and he stood upright.
Wu Hongshan's face darkened: "Duke Wei has already sent someone to ask. You should know that no one in the court can disobey Duke Wei. Everyone can see that this matter is unusual. You keep silent and let others How does the father distinguish?"
Wu You is petite. Although she is twenty-eight years old, she looks like a cardamom girl. Under Wu Hongshan's pressure, her shoulders look extraordinarily thin, but she has always stuck her neck: "Something is unusual, a child should know How can the child tell his father what the child doesn’t know? It was Li Jing’an who was hurt and his entourage who died, but Wei Gong sent someone to ask his father, why didn’t he ask Prince Gong directly, because he thought his father was weak cheating?"
"Bastard!" Wu Hongshan slapped the armrest of the sandalwood chair hard, and the muscles on his face trembled, obviously really angry.
After all, it was her father. Although she doted on her very much on weekdays, it was impossible for Wu You to be completely fearless in the face of rage, so tears began to roll in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and tried her best not to let the tears overflow.
Seeing his daughter's appearance like this, Wu Hongshan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. After all, he doted on this daughter, and couldn't bear to be harsh. He sighed heavily, dejectedly, waved his hand, and let Wu You back out.
Leaving the small courtyard, Wu You wiped away her tears. Although she didn't like Wu Hongshan and was afraid of the rich and powerful's way of protecting themselves, Wu Hongshan's sad appearance just now made her unable to hold back her tears.
After walking a few steps, someone secretly followed. It was an old man hiding in the darkness like a shadow. Wu You didn't look back, but his voice was cold: "If you let me know, you have revealed half of the truth to your father. One word, even if I can't kill you, I will make your life worse than death!"
At this moment, the girl looked like a demon.
The old man bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, the princess, the old slave will never dare to speak too much."
He is a guest of the son-in-law's mansion, and he thinks of everything for the son-in-law's mansion, so in Niu Shoushan, facing Li Jing'an's proposal, he would persuade Wu You to form an alliance with Li Guanshu, but he has been guarding Wu You for a long time. , can also be controlled by Wu You's temper.
In addition, the old man knew Wu You's temper even more, she had already made up her mind, and she would do what she said.
As for that, the old man was not willing to offend King An, who had shown great strength in Niu Shou Mountain and was decisive in killing him. The other party grew up too fast, and the old man was extremely afraid.
Wu You raised her head, looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, and was stunned for a long time. Her clean and beautiful, but childish face had a different kind of determination under the clear light. She murmured in a low voice: "Twenty You have suffered too much, your uncle died unexpectedly in battle, and you are in a difficult situation. Now that you have real strength, you need to hide your strength and bide your time. Even if you didn't ask me to do anything, I will try my best to do everything I can."
She suddenly smiled, her smile was so clean that the stars seemed to melt into those dimples: "I don't know how Li Guanshu died, but you can even kill Li Jingan's followers with one blow, Then even if Li Guanshu died in your hands, I wouldn't be surprised—in this huge city of Chang'an, who would have expected that you are already so powerful? Brother Ye, hiding your strength hides the possibility of you killing Li Guanshu , I will help you do it."
Prince Gong's Mansion.
After seeing off the people sent by Wei Baoheng, Prince Gong stood under the eaves, staring at the night sky with his hands behind his back, without saying a word for a long time.
Li Jing'an, who had already recovered from his injuries, came to Prince Gong's side, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Father, why did we hide the facts of that day? Don't tell Duke Wei the truth about Li Ye's strength. Do you know? Wouldn't it be good for Wei Gong to look down on Li Ye and deal with him?"
Prince Gong glanced at Li Jing'an, and slowly said: "The reason for this, I didn't tell you before my father, is because my father thought you could figure it out, but now it seems that you have been blinded by the humiliation of that day. Then my father will tell you the reason, if you listen clearly, my father will not say it a second time."
Prince Gong's eyes are deep and his voice is steady: "You have been asking my father before, thinking that my father's cultivation skills, why did he retire from the army when he was in his prime, and stay at home with nothing to do. Today, my father will tell you that it is all because of old age. King An’s lesson from the past.”
"Our majesty is not a wise majesty, and the current court is not a court that can make contributions. This is true for ordinary people, and it is especially true for the children of the clan. Even the latter is in a particularly difficult situation. Because once the children of the clan do Big, with great power and popularity, the threat to that position will be greater than that of ordinary people, because their surname is Li. And your Majesty will be more afraid than ordinary ministers."
"The government has reached the point where the government is today. My father hopes that you can see it more clearly. My father is not Wu Hongshan. He knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but he prefers to travel to the tigers. He hopes to gain a little power in the cracks, so he lives in a pinch. My father's idea , is to stay away from the court. Because that means staying away from right and wrong."
"Now you should understand why my father didn't let you tell the truth that day. Now King An, since he got the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, not only has both civil and military skills, but more importantly, his luck has changed. Such a person , it's better to stay away, don't talk about friendship, if you can avoid provoking, then don't provoke."
Speaking of which, Prince Gong turned his head and looked at Li Jing'an: "My father agrees with you to serve as an official, not because I want you to flex your muscles and occupy a high position, but because I want you to have an official position so that no one will underestimate you. That's enough. Others, don't expect too much. Although Li Ye hurt you, he didn't do too much, and today, he sent someone to send a gift. What I value for my father is his disposition and skill in dealing with people—more than his father!"

Prince Gong sighed: "Let's see, this King An, in terms of cultivation, is no worse than the old King An back then, and the old King An is too upright, he can send someone here today, and take the initiative to show kindness to his father , This shows that his wrist is smooth, and he is not too upright. This city of Chang'an is destined to have troubles with him, let's just watch and don't get involved. "
Prince Gong took one last look at Li Jing'an, and left with his hands behind his back.
He had a feeling in his heart, but he didn't say it, and he couldn't say it.
He is also a son of the clan, and he is also a prince. Compared with Li Xian, he has already lost too much.
Back then, he lost his cultivation and his meritorious deeds on the battlefield.
Now, he has lost his heir.
