Chapter 787 Layers of Fog
Li Jing's thoughts changed sharply, and he fell silent suddenly.
The bald head was full of joy when he saw this, and asked loudly with a grin: "Your Highness, do you know Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang County and the governor of Youzhou?"
"Um?
Li Yuan? ! "
Li Jing was startled suddenly when he heard the words, and instantly understood the meaning of baldness.
Li Yuan, courtesy name Degui, was born in Chengji, Longxi.
The great-grandson of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the son of Li Zhe, the general of the Sui Dynasty Zhu Kingdom, and the nephew of old Li Yuan.
In the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao Jun, joined forces to attack Xiao Mi without making any meritorious service.
In the ninth year of Wude, old Li Yuan appointed Li Yuan as the governor of Youzhou.
However, old Li Yuan was worried that Li Yuan would be cowardly and incompetent, so he sent Wang Junkuo, who was the general on the right at the time, to accompany him to the fiefdom to assist him.
It's just that Wang Junkuo used to be a bandit, brave, strong, sinister and cunning.
Li Yuan valued his talent, so he relied on him as his confidant and favorite general, and married him as an in-law.
In March of the same year, the then Prince Li Jiancheng colluded with Qi Wang Li Yuanji and secretly contacted Li Yuan to eradicate His Majesty Li Er.
June.
Li Jiancheng died.
In the name of the old man, His Majesty Li Er sent Cui Dunli, the general manager, to Youzhou to summon Li Yuan to Beijing.
Li Yuan was terrified when he heard the news, fearing that His Majesty Li Er would retaliate privately, so he summoned Wang Junkuo to discuss countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, Wang Junkuo had turned his back on him at this time, and only wanted to arrest Li Yuan in exchange for credit, instead of helping Li Yuan with all his heart, he persuaded him to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Li Yuan heard all kinds of hesitation, Wang Junkuo bewitched him and said: "Your Majesty is a member of the royal family, with one hundred thousand soldiers guarding the border.
In such a critical moment, how can he go to Beijing to report on his work when he is summoned by an envoy.
What's more, Li Jiancheng was defeated and died, and the king's life will inevitably be lost when he enters Beijing. "
Li Yuan heard that the six gods have no master, and because of his great trust in Wang Junkuo.
Therefore, under his lobbying, he handed over all the matters of raising troops to Wang Junkuo for disposal.
Afterwards, under Wang Junkuo's persuasion, he personally kidnapped the messenger Cui Dunli and asked him about the secrets in the capital.
Seeing that Cui Dunli refused to give in, Fu ordered him to be placed under house arrest in the station.
At the same time, Wang Shen, the governor of Yanzhou, was sent to Jizhou to discuss with him about raising troops.
However, Wang Lishe, the soldier who joined the army, knew Wang Junkuo very well. When he heard about this, he immediately went to the palace to ask for an interview.
He even advised Li Yuan that if he wanted to succeed, he should get rid of Wang Jun as soon as possible and replace him with Wang Shen.
It's a pity that Li Yuan firmly believed in Wang Junkuo, and turned a deaf ear to Wang Lishe's advice, and even frankly told all about the meeting with Wang Junkuo.
Wang Junkuo was furious when he heard the words, and took advantage of Wang Shen's unpreparedness to kill him with a knife.
Afterwards, he took Wang Shen's head to the barracks and publicly announced that Li Yuan and Wang Shen had conspired to rebel.
When all the soldiers heard the words, they didn't know the truth or the falsehood, and they all shouted their wish to join Wang Junkuo in killing the rebels.
Seeing this, Wang Junkuo led more than a thousand people to quickly attack the city, first rescued Cui Dunli who was imprisoned by Li Yuan, and took advantage of the opportunity to plant the conspiracy on Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was furious when he heard about this, and hurriedly led hundreds of guards to question him.
It's a pity that a despicable villain like Wang Junkuo would engage in unnecessary verbal disputes with him.
Before Li Yuan could react, he raised the knife and chopped off Li Yuan's head.
After His Majesty Li Er heard the news, he ordered Li Yuan to be demoted to a commoner, and the royal family tree was expelled.
And most of Li Yuan's sons were killed because of this accident, but the eldest son disappeared with the help of the mysterious man.
Now it seems that Li Siyuan who is in the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion at this moment is the eldest son of Li Yuan who disappeared for no reason.
All his strange behaviors in the past few days now have a reasonable explanation.
After all, Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang County, has not been rehabilitated so far, and Li Siyuan had to remain anonymous if he wanted to avenge his father.
And as Li Yuan's missing eldest son, how could he keep records of his past?
And he rebelled against Feng Li by "knowing that he would not repay his kindness", and turned to join Wang Junkuo's family, presumably also to collect criminal evidence to avenge his father.
It's just that, who was the one who rescued Li Siyuan back then?
Just because this person was able to take away one person without incident under the strict monitoring of Qianniuwei, it can be seen that this person's strength is no different from that of the person who took away Li Jing back then.
But if that's the case...
Feng Li, who recommended Li Siyuan to be an official, is really suspicious!
And when Li Jiancheng ruled the East Palace, Feng Li was his confidant and beloved general!
And Feng Li's loyalty to Li Jiancheng can also be glimpsed through the incident of Xuanwu Gate.
If it is said that the relationship between the two is purely coincidental, even Yuchi Baolin would not believe it.
It's just that all of these are Li Jing's conjectures, and there is no evidence to overthrow Feng Li.
What's more, Feng Li did not follow Li Shimin to conquer Goguryeo this time. Obviously, someone else took Ma Sanbao's family away a few days ago.
That being the case, Li Jing can only pretend not to know at the moment.
Otherwise, once Feng Li and other old foxes see the clue, it will be even more difficult for him to track down the real culprit.
What's more, the more important thing at this moment is to catch all the rebels in the Cangxiang Pavilion.
However, in the face of Li Siyuan who endured the humiliation, Li Jing felt a little bit reluctant to do so.
Others don't know the reason for this, but he knows that it is caused by Wang Junkuo's bewitchment.
Even if Li Yuan really committed a heinous crime, for the sake of his royal family, he should not implicate his family members.
And the reason why His Majesty Li Er chose to kill them all was probably due to Wang Junkuo's instigation.
Otherwise, with such a good opportunity to show his broad-mindedness, how could he send someone to kill him.
But in this way, tonight's matter will be really tricky!
"Old bald ass!
This matter is really too serious, and Ben Gong couldn't make up his mind for a while.
If you want to wait a little longer, I will send someone back to the palace to report to the queen mother.
If you don't want to, you can also behead Li Siyuan on the spot.
Anyway, his identity has not been confirmed yet, so I don't have to worry about being accused of killing my fellow clan!
It's just that you, a bald donkey, killed good people in vain. In the future, I'm afraid you will have to chant scriptures day and night to pray for Buddha's forgiveness! "
Li Jing thought for a while, then said with a serious face.
The bald man was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay!
That being the case, it doesn't matter if a certain family waits half an hour longer.
It's just that in front of the people in the capital now, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will not make a mistake! "
"Hahaha~
Master Hui Neng rest assured, this palace has always kept its promises and will never break its word! "
Li Jing changed his words suddenly, and everyone present was shocked when they heard it!
The name of this Yanghua Temple has been heard of even by the people tens of miles around Chang'an.
When Tang Seng came to Beijing to experience training, he also chose to place an order in Yanghua Temple.
As the host of Yanghua Temple, Huineng's name is naturally like thunder.
All believers who believe in Buddhism in the capital city, there is absolutely no one who does not know him, Master Hui Neng.
But now when he was arresting the traitor, Li Jing suddenly called the leader of the bandit Master Huineng, how could this not surprise the onlookers and Cheng Chumo and others.
"Ugh!
The poor monk was careless for a while, and his identity was discovered by His Royal Highness...
From this point of view, His Highness is indeed the number one wise man in the Tang Dynasty! "
The bald man sighed, and slowly revealed Baoxiang's solemn round face.
The people present opened their mouths wide in surprise, as if they still did not want to believe what they saw with their own eyes.
Seeing this, Li Jing shook his head disdainfully, stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice: "Father, queen, mother, and this palace are not mediocre, so why should the master sow discord here.
Tonight, as long as the queen mother agrees, I will let the master live.
But if the master dares to use such trivial skills again, don't blame Ben Gong for being ruthless! "
"Nanma Amitabha!
His Highness calmed down, and the poor monk wrote it down. "
Hui Neng performed a Buddhist ceremony with one hand, and answered loudly without changing his face.
It seems that the plan just now is not what he did.
In the eyes of Cheng Chumo and others, his attitude obviously overturned everyone's thinking again.
It seems that these great monks are really not as kind as they were rumored in the past.
At least this master Hui Neng must be a person with six unclean roots!
