Li Ye's intention was very clear, that he wanted to blame Li Guochang for Kang Chengxun's assassination.
As far as Lu Long Jiedu envoys were concerned, they wanted to fight Zhenwu, but they were disliked by the imperial court because they had always been rebellious, and there were no high-ranking officials in the imperial court who were friends and powerless. Now if Li Ye is willing to help, then Youzhou's confidence is much greater.

"Evidence... There is some, I'm afraid there is not much hard evidence..." After Zhang He got excited, he thought about it calmly, and then said hesitantly.
After Kang Chengxun left the town of Hedong, Li Guochang always regarded him as a thorn in his side, especially after Li Guanshu's death, in order to force Kang Chengxun out of Hedong, Li Guochang made some small tricks in private. It is difficult to find clues, and if we try our best to dig this time, it is not impossible to dig clues.
But these clues can only show that Li Guochang has evil thoughts about Kang Chengxun, which is far from enough for Zhenwu to be charged with assassinating Kang Chengxun.
Li Ye said: "There is no need for hard evidence, as long as there is some evidence to make Li Guochang the number one suspect in the assassination of Kang Chengxun, this matter will be considered successful."
It is really difficult to prove Li Guochang's crime of assassinating Kang Chengxun. The evidence is not easy to forge, but if it is only revealed that Li Guochang once dealt with Kang Chengxun, the evidence will be easy to find. In this way, use Wang Duo and Lu Yan's henchmen to add fuel and vinegar After a while, it was spread everywhere that Kang Chengxun was killed by someone sent by Li Guochang, presumably many people believed it.
Once this matter reaches the ears of Emperor Li Wei, what will Li Wei think
Even if Zhenwu could not be convicted, Princess Li would not be allowed to marry Zhenwu, so that Zhenwu would have the opportunity to continue to grow.
After all, Li Ye's plan was to pour dirty water on Li Guochang.
Zhang He quickly understood what Li Ye meant, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Your Highness's plan... can be said to be a drudgery!"
Li Ye looked at Zhang He and said seriously, "What is 'Your Highness's plan'? What does this have to do with Gu? Gu didn't do anything. Gu just wanted to seek justice for the dead Duke Kang."
When he said this, he didn't blush at all, Song Jiao couldn't help but glanced at him.
Zhang He immediately understood, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is noble and upright, with a heart for the country, and I admire you very much!"
The Confucian shirt man behind Zhang He also showed shock in his eyes when he saw that Li Ye was so brazen.
Zhang He continued: "Speaking of which, Kang Chengxun is Wei Baoheng's right-hand man, but he was forced to leave town by Li Guochang. The two should have had a deep hatred. Wei Baoheng can let go of his personal grudges and turn his fight with Li Guochang into friendship. If Wei Baoheng is really allowed to do this It's done, it's a miracle... But, he took it for granted."
Li Ye said: "Whether Wei Baoheng takes it for granted depends on whether Zhang Gong and Lu Long can successfully counterattack this time. If this happens, everyone will be happy. If it fails, then Wei Baoheng will really become a hero in the world."
Zhang He immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Lu Long will do his best in this matter!"
Li Ye nodded: "That's good!"
With a flash in Zhang He's eyes, he quickly got up and saluted Li Ye: "Your Highness's kindness to Lu Long, Lu Long will never forget it!"
Li Ye smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, easy to say."
...
After sending Zhang He and the others away, Song Jiao returned to Li Ye's room, and saw Li Ye sitting on a low bed, muttering silently, as if thinking about something.
Song Jiaoyan smiled and said: "Wei Baoheng wants to take advantage of Princess Li's marriage to turn his fight with Zhenwu into a friendship, and turn Zhenwu into his own wings. It's not insignificant, but if your plan works this time, then Wei Baoheng will not be able to do it." Not to mention the political achievements of 'taming' Zhenwu, Lu Long will also accept your favor, and the political achievements of 'taming' the Jieao feudal towns will fall into your hands, and your wings will soar in the future."
Li Ye glanced at Song Jiao: "Is there a way to settle this matter?"
Song Jiao sat down beside Li Ye with a smile, and stared at his face for a long time, which made Li Ye feel unnatural, and helplessly put away her thoughts: "What is Aunt Song looking at again?"
Song Jiaoyou said quietly: "No matter how you say it, you've impressed me with such a plan!"
Li Ye spread out his hands: "Didn't Aunt Song just want to say that I am different from my father?"
Song Jiao's eyes were slightly dazed, probably recalling the past: "It's really different."
Li Ye paused, then suddenly said: "That's because the situation is different."
After that, the two stopped chatting, but discussed some details on this matter, let's not talk about these for now.
Let's say three days later, Li Ye went to Chang'an Mansion to be on duty. As soon as Wu entered, he found that the officials in Chang'an Mansion were hurrying and anxious, as if something important had happened.
Not long after Li Ye sat down in the yamen, Wang Li rushed over and said to Li Ye, "Young Yin, something serious happened!"
"What is it?"
"An official came to report late last night that a group of river bandits appeared on the banks of the Weishui River in Huangli Township. They robbed the wharf of Huangli Township. The Qiu Fu stored in the wharf warehouse was looted. It was 50,000 guan. It's time to transport it to Chang'an City... "
"The warehouse is an important place, guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are no shortage of Qi training monks, how can it be easily robbed?"
"According to the official, there are also master sorcerers among the group of river bandits, and there are traces of magic battles at the scene!"
"There are river bandits at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Is this world so unbalanced?"
"Hey! Who's to say it's not the case? Over the years, rioters in the feudal towns have been making troubles from time to time, and border troubles are everywhere. There are even more horse bandits, river bandits, and mountain bandits. It's a flood!"
Li Ye fell silent. After a while, he chuckled lightly and thought to himself: Is it really here
Chang'an Mansion, also known as Jingzhao Mansion, governs the capital city. Naturally, its jurisdiction is not limited to Chang'an City, and the surrounding counties are all within its jurisdiction. That is to say, this matter is also within Li Ye's responsibility.
Not long after, someone came to send a message, and Xu Shaomu summoned everyone to discuss matters.
When they came to the meeting hall, Li Ye found that all the heavyweight officials of Chang'an Mansion were there. Xu Shaomu stood with his hands behind his back, with a solemn expression on his face. After everyone arrived, he briefly reported the incident of the river bandits, and then expressed his indignation , and the firm will to bring the river bandits to justice, and then arrange manpower to go to Huangli Township to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Li Ye was in charge of the affairs of the monks in Chang'an Mansion, so he naturally wanted to come forward in this case, so Xu Shaomu appointed Li Ye's general in public, let him take the lead in handling the case, and took people to Huangli Township immediately. Li Ye was duty-bound and took over the job.
That's all for discussion, Xu Shaomu left Li Ye behind, and planned some details of the case with him alone.
At the end, Xu Shaomu sighed: "This matter is strange, I'm afraid there is a villain behind it."
Li Ye naturally knew who the villain Xu Shaomu was talking about, he said: "Now is the critical time for the princes to compete for the outstanding officials of the feudal town. There is banditry in the territory under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Mansion, and the emperor will be furious and punished for the crime. If this matter gets out, It was a big blow to the prestige of the dukes, and the officials of the feudal town, seeing what happened to the Chang'an mansion, reckoned that they would stay away and go to Wei Baoheng."
Xu Shaomu's expression was gloomy: "If this matter is not handled properly, Wei Baoheng, as the prime minister in charge of all officials, will also take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Chang'an Mansion. Maybe a group of officials will be punished and dismissed. At that time, this official will bear the brunt. Then, He then sent his henchmen in to take control of the Chang'an Mansion... In this two-partisan dispute, Wei Baoheng's methods emerge in endlessly, which is really hard to guard against."
Li Ye said: "Anyway, let's go to Huangli Township to check."
Xu Shaomu nodded, and looked at Li Ye: "The situation in Chang'an is so turbulent, I must sit in the city, and the matter of Huangli Township is left to Shaoyin."
Li Ye cupped his fists and said, "Fu Yin can rest assured."
After coming out of the meeting hall and returning to Shaoyin Yamen, Li Ye called Wang Li over and discussed with him the details of the trip to Huangli Township, including who to bring, how many yamen servants to dispatch, etc., and then drew up a list and a list of needed materials. ——The latter mainly involves instruments, horses, etc., and Wang Li was asked to handle it.
It took half a day to deal with all the matters. In the afternoon, Li Ye asked Wang Li to take the officials and servants to the city gate, and he would come to meet him later. Taking advantage of this time, Li Ye went back to Prince An's Mansion first.
Calling Song Jiao, Li Zhen, Shangguan Qingcheng and others, Li Ye told them about Huangli Township, and then asked Song Jiao to dispatch the monks from Tsingyi Yamen, on the one hand, to rush to Huangli Township first, and conduct a secret investigation. To open the way for Li Ye, on the other hand, let Song Jiao send some people to follow secretly, as a reserve force, to act as guards and reinforcements.
As soon as Li Ye finished making arrangements, Song Jiao went down to make arrangements, and Li Zhen frowned and said, "Your Highness, this matter is strange, and I feel that it's not just aimed at Lu Gong and Xu Gong, but also... . .. Aiming at Your Highness!"
"Why?"
"Because Princess Li...His Royal Highness blocked Wei Baoheng's alliance with Li Guochang, this is one of them."
"What about the second one?"
"Secondly, Wei Baoheng... is afraid of His Highness!"
"what for?"
"The day before yesterday, Your Highness defeated Li Keyong in public at the Prince Consort's Mansion. And Li Keyong is said to be the one who is expected to build a foundation, and in the not-too-distant future, achieve the realm of a real person... the first genius of the dynasty! Your Highness After defeating him, doesn't it mean that His Highness is now the number one genius in the world? And he is still expected to build a foundation?"
Li Ye fell silent.
Shangguan Qingcheng was surprised and said: "Even if His Highness has a bright future, his current cultivation level is not very high. Not to mention Wei Baoheng's own strength, he has countless wings, and he has recruited countless masters of the rivers and lakes. It is said that he is afraid of His Highness, right? It's too late?" Li Zhen shook his head solemnly, and said seriously: "General Shangguan must know that your highness...is His Highness King An!"
Shangguan Qingcheng was startled for a moment, but immediately understood.
More than twenty years ago, the young Li Xian was also the number one genius in Chang'an City. Possibly reaching Lee Hyun's former heights
What was Li Xianzeng's height
He is the number one master in Chang'an who has reached the highest level of cultivation and is infinitely close to building a foundation!
He is known as a hero who can save the difficult times and help the building to collapse!
It's Kaifu Yitong's third division, who holds all the military and political power, and even the prime minister will bow his head when he sees him!
Who wouldn't be in awe of Li Xian like that, who wouldn't be afraid
Li Zhen continued: "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Old An Wang... died of the envy of the ministers and the suspicion of the king. King An is going to kill him, now, how can he just sit back and watch His Highness grow and become stronger?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused: "Although His Highness is not too high at present and his wings are not full, his strength should not be underestimated if he can defeat Li Keyong, and the old officials of King An's disciples are all over the world. When His Highness is down and down, he may not show up, so as not to offend Wei Baoheng who is in power and be suppressed."
"However, if they see that His Highness has become powerful, can compete with Wei Baoheng, and hope to regain the old power of the old King An, then they will naturally flock to His Highness whether it is for the friendship of the old King An or for the future. Beside him, His Highness is the only one who is looking forward to it... At that time, what will Wei Baoheng use to fight His Highness?"
Li Ye remained silent.
Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at Li Ye, and thought about it: "If the old King An is really suspected by His Majesty, and this is why the Bagong Mountain disaster happened, how can His Majesty let His Highness become bigger?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "In the past, when King An was powerful and dominated the court, His Majesty supported Wei Baoheng and let Wei Baoheng deal with King An. Now that Wei Baoheng is powerful, why wouldn't His Majesty support His Highness and get rid of Wei Baoheng? King's art is the ultimate Rebalance!"
"As for the matter of old King An... In the eyes of the emperor, all the subjects of the world are pawns, life and death are up for grabs, but with one heart, who dares to refuse to accept? Take a step back, even if your highness knows something, can you still rebel? The hatred in the past, as long as the emperor told you to bear it, you can only endure it! The emperor said that the crime was on the head of the powerful minister, and everything was caused by the powerful minister. Who dares to say otherwise? How can the emperor himself be guilty of a crime committed by a minister?"
"Take a step back, even if His Highness... Then before the incident happened, why couldn't His Majesty use the same means to suppress His Highness?"
Shangguan Qingcheng was stunned and speechless.
Li Zhen looked at Li Ye, waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Ye smiled, and said to Li Zhen: "Sir, you are talented, I really did not misunderstand... As for going to Huangli Township, I don't care if Wei Baoheng is targeting me. If the river bandits in Huangli Township, If it's not Wei Baoheng's person, that's fine, if Wei Baoheng is really behind the scenes, all I need to do is catch the river bandit, then I have ironclad evidence in hand, and it won't be difficult to overthrow Wei Baoheng."
Li Zhen was shocked and said: "Your Highness, this is... knowing that there are tigers on the mountain and going to the Tiger Mountain?"
Li Ye said indifferently: "If you don't enter the tiger's mouth, how can you get a tiger's cub?"
Li Zhen wanted to say something more, Li Ye waved his hand: "Okay, needless to say, I have my own arrangements, even if this trip fails, there will be no danger."
There are some words that Li Ye can't say.
Since his rebirth, he has broken the trajectory of many things in his previous life, such as Li Guanshu and Kang Chengxun. He is very clear that these things will inevitably affect a lot of luck, and he is not sure whether the future will happen according to the previous life. Now, Huang Chao is in great chaos, he has no time to delay, he must eradicate Wei Baoheng as soon as possible to ensure that Li Yan takes over.
As for the danger, with Song Jiao by her side, even if there was any danger, Song Jiao could at least take him away with all her strength and her life safe.
In addition, the most important point is that Li Ye showed his cultivation in the consort's mansion in order to make Wei Baoheng afraid—how could Li Zhenneng think of problems that he could not have thought of before.
Wei Baoheng is old, treacherous and cunning, and his actions are thorough. Under normal circumstances, no one will be caught. Wang Duo and Lu Yan collected evidence of Wei Baoheng's corruption, violation of the law and dereliction of duty, and wanted to use this to impeach him. That's the proof.
In this situation, if Li Ye wants to bring down Wei Baoheng, he has to make mistakes.
Therefore, defeating Li Keyong made Wei Baoheng fearful, and Li Ye would have a chance when he acted fearfully. If he could seize Wei Baoheng's handle, great things could be expected!
