Chapter 147: Revenge on Changsun Wuji? A hidden man planted by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin

Li Yuanji thought about all these and found them very interesting. Wei Ting and Xue Wanche did not even have any status, and Li Jiancheng did not even send any soldiers. It seemed that he really "trusted" him.

As for Wu Shigui, although Li Yuanji had little dealings with him, he was very familiar with him. He was familiar with Wu Shigui not because of this person, but because of Wu Zetian.

Oh, there is no character called Zhao yet. This character was invented by the future Wu Zetian herself. It makes her look very different. The current Wu Zhao is still called Wu Mei.

Li Yuanji was familiar with Wu Shigui because of Wu Mei. As Li Yuan's confidant, although he couldn't understand why Wu Shigui came with 5,000 soldiers as guards, he was still looking forward to it. He wanted to meet Wu Mei when she grew up.

As for Cen Wenben, he was a man of great talent in governing the country. However, Li Yuanji still couldn't understand why Cen Wenben should not be valued now, and why Li Yuan would let this man be the chief. However, since he was here, Li Yuanji still had some ideas about Cen Wenben.

As for Cheng Yaojin, Li Yuanji did not have any excessive emotions. Although he was Li Shimin's trusted general and a famous general passed down through the ages, he really had no special ideas now.

As for the last one, Changsun Wuji, Li Yuanji stared at this name intently. He remembered it very clearly. When he first came to Lingnan, before he reached his destination, he was intercepted and killed by this man who colluded with Feng Xuan. Although he did not succeed in the end, they were aiming to take his life.

Li Yuanji was confused. Wang Xuance should have told Li Shimin about this matter, but Li Shimin sent Changsun Wuji to his territory. Did he really think that he, Li Yuanji, would not dare to attack Changsun Wuji? Or did he think that since he was appointed as the deputy envoy by Li Yuan and came with Cen Wenben and had the protection of 5,000 soldiers, he would not take action?

Li Yuanji sneered. He was not the kind of person who would not fight back against those who wanted to kill him. If Changsun Wuji was in Chang'an, he really would have no way to deal with him. But now that he had come to Lingnan, his territory, didn't he have any way to deal with him?
Thinking about Li Shimin's revenge in the future, Li Yuanji also had no scruples. Li Shimin was not the Heavenly Khan yet. Li Yuan was the one in charge now. Even if Li Shimin wanted to deal with him, he couldn't. Even if he became emperor, it would take a few years for Li Shimin to take revenge on him, unless Li Shimin didn't want the Tang Dynasty anymore.

He will not tolerate anyone who dares to kill him. No matter who is behind Changsun Wuji, he must take revenge this time. Since the person has come to him, he must be able to withstand his revenge and have such awareness.

Then Li Yuanji's eyes suddenly lit up after thinking about it. Feng Ang seemed to hate Changsun Wuji very much. According to the time when he left Chang'an, he should have reached Shaozhou by now, right?
As long as he enters Shaozhou, Feng Ang will definitely know. Now that he sees his enemy, thinking about what Feng Ang said with gritted teeth at the beginning, he was almost implicated by Changsun Wuji, but he could not take revenge because he was in Chang'an. Now that the opportunity has come, it depends on whether Feng Ang can seize it and whether Feng Ang has the determination.

Li Yuanji suddenly laughed. The arrival of Changsun Wuji seemed to allow him to clearly see what choice Feng Ang would make. Once Feng Ang chose to retaliate, his relationship with Li Shimin would be completely broken, and he would no longer have to think about Li Shimin.

Wei Ting's arrival was also a good opportunity for him to see whether Feng Ang would make contact. Both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's confidants had arrived, and if Feng Ang wanted to make a choice, now was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even though Feng Ang had expressed his stance in front of him, had handed over his navy, and even sent his eldest son to him, before he had a full grasp of the situation, his attitude towards Feng Ang was that he could trust him, but not completely.

Li Yuanji knew very well that as a high-ranking official, his true position could not be represented by a few words. He himself was still like that with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in Chang'an, so it was not impossible that Feng Ang was acting with him.

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others. Li Yuanji was very clear about this. He did not want a traitor to appear under him, especially a heavyweight like Feng Ang.

Li Yuanji then gave the letter to Xie Shufang.

"Take a look for yourself. What we are going to see next is very interesting. Tell me what you think after you see it."

Xie Shufang looked at the letter with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw what was in it, he immediately became angry.

"Your Majesty, what does the King of Qin mean? He actually sent this treacherous thief, Changsun Wuji, here. Doesn't he know that it was Changsun Wuji who instigated Feng Xuan to send his elite troops to ambush and kill Your Majesty?
Now this person actually dares to come to Lingnan. He doesn't take the king seriously.

Your Majesty, I feel that it is necessary to make the King of Qin re-establish his cognition. This Changsun Wuji dared to collude with Feng Xuan to provoke Your Majesty. Feng Xuan is a traitor and a rebel. Changsun Wuji and Feng Xuan are in cahoots with each other and have joined forces to ambush and kill Your Majesty. This is enough to sentence him to death!
Now that Changsun Wuji has come to Lingnan, he must be killed. The king encountered bandits when he came, so it is normal for him to encounter bandits on the road as well!"

Looking at Changsun Wuji's name above, Xie Shufang suddenly became uneasy. In Chang'an, they really had no way out. Now that they have come to Lingnan, to Li Yuanji's territory, is there still no way out for them?
Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji, wanting to know what Li Yuanji would do. He knew very well that once he took action against Changsun Wuji, it would mean that they and the Qin Palace would become incompatible again, just like before.

But if he let Changsun Wuji go like this, Xie Shufang would be very unwilling. Others had already tried to kill him, and he didn't want to endure it. In his eyes, who was Li Shimin? Li Yuanji was also the King of Qi, so why should he be afraid of Li Shimin!

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang and slowly smiled.

"Uncle Fang, you are testing me. You are getting bolder and bolder. It's just you. If it's someone else, I won't tolerate it.

Li Shimin actually dared to send Zhangsun Wuji, so we must fight back. If he dares to take my life, I will not tolerate him.

We will decide how to entertain Changsun Wuji after Feng Ang arrives. Feng Ang was also implicated in the incident. If something happens to me, Feng Ang will die, because someone must be held responsible for this matter, and he, Feng Ang, is the most suitable person.

Therefore, Feng Ang's hatred for Zhangsun Wuji is probably stronger than ours. Calculating the time, Feng Ang will be here in a few days. Let's hear what he will do then.

If Feng Ang has other ideas, then we will deal with him together. Now that I can send the army out, I can also bring it back later."

Li Yuanji had a smile on his face. He took this opportunity to make the ultimate test on Feng Ang. The army he had sent out was still on the way and had not yet started fighting. He could give orders at any time to make the army turn around and come back directly.

The only thing he needs to take some risks with is the issue of the navy. But now he has people in the navy, and he has invested 8,000 people in it. These are his real assets. Even if Feng Ang has some ideas, he has the means to counter them.

The most important thing is that the one who is in charge now is Li Yuan, not Li Shimin. If there is a direct conflict with him in Lingnan, Li Yuan's attitude will definitely be on his side.

Then Li Yuanji spoke again.

"After you go down, send someone to inform Liu Rengui and Yuwen Bao, and ask them to keep a close eye on Feng Ang's navy. Tell them to be careful and not be tricked."

The current navy is the real pain in his heart. Everything else is easy to deal with and there won’t be any big problems.

After hearing this, Xie Shufang went downstairs to make arrangements immediately. Li Yuanji was thinking quietly alone. He was thinking about how to arrange a gift for Changsun Wuji. After all, he had come to Lingnan, his territory. As the host of Lingnan, he must fulfill his duties as a host and entertain the guests who came from afar.

After a while, Xie Shufang walked in with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin sent a letter." Li Yuanji was stunned at first, and then he suddenly laughed, and his laugh was very happy.

"Shufang, let's make a bet. This letter must be about Changsun Wuji. After all, Xuan Ce went to Chang'an and brought Feng Xuan with him. I don't believe he doesn't know that Changsun Wuji is my enemy. Now that he asked Changsun Wuji to come, the reason must be in this letter."

Li Yuanji was very sure. He did not believe that Li Shimin's letter was to reminisce about the past. If it was just to reminisce about the past, there was no need to send him a secret letter, but he could have let Zhangsun Wuji bring it.

In addition, Li Yuanji was well aware of the relationship between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. It was absolutely impossible for Li Shimin to give up Changsun Wuji, so Li Yuanji believed his guess very much.

After hearing this, Xie Shufang's expression relaxed. Since Li Yuanji said so, it meant that the situation was still under control.

"Your Majesty, I have no idea, but I believe what you said. You will not be wrong."

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang helplessly and ignored him. He immediately opened the letter and started reading. However, after reading it, Li Yuanji's face became gloomy.

"Shufang, go call Hong Mengping, and then you go and bring Yuwen Bao to me in person!"

Li Yuanji's face was as gloomy as water, and the letter in his hand seemed to be about to be crushed by Li Yuanji. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and Xie Shufang could already feel the murderous intent in Li Yuanji's heart.

Xie Shufang's face was solemn and he agreed immediately.

"Yes, my king. I will go right away!"

Li Yuanji was in a very uneasy mood, with a storm in his heart. He had taken all kinds of precautions, but he still couldn't defend himself. Li Yuanji really couldn't bear it at this moment.

Li Yuanji picked up the letter and read it again, and he was so angry that he laughed.

"You are really my good elder brother, my good second brother. You are worthy of being the crown prince and the King of Qin. I didn't even notice it. You are really very good!"

Li Yuanji gritted his teeth. This was the first time he suffered such a big loss. He really remembered these two people.

After a while, Xie Shufang came in person with Hong Mengping, and then went down again.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji didn't say anything, just looked at Hong Mengping. After a while, he slowly spoke.

"Meng Ping, since you entered the Prince Qi's Palace, I have given you the position of Chief Clerk. I have never treated you unfairly, right?"

Hong Mengping looked solemn and responded immediately.

"Your Majesty treats me very well. I can feel it. This time when Your Majesty comes to Lingnan, I am willing to follow Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji laughed out loud when he heard it.

"Haha, haha! Great, you are willing to follow me. Since I have never treated you unfairly and value you so much, then tell me why you provided me with information! Think about it and tell me why."

Li Yuanji could no longer hide the look in his eyes that wanted to kill someone. Li Yuanji was angry because of the letter sent by Li Shimin. The letter talked about the hidden chess pieces planted by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in his Qi Palace!
Not only the name, but also the information of the secret agent and the time of the communication were all written clearly on it. Li Shimin wrote this letter to tell Li Yuanji to let Changsun Wuji go, and they should reconcile. This letter represents Li Shimin's sincerity.

This was the root of his anger. He thought he had left all the unclean people in Chang'an, but he didn't expect that there were still some inside, and they were brought to Lingnan by him. He had always treated these people as his confidants.

It's not that he hadn't suspected that Li Shimin did this on purpose, just to make him lose his composure, but the times and events written above were recorded clearly, and he now finally understood why Li Shimin was able to quickly find out about the many things that the original body had done against him.

This original body did not even have the slightest defense against Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng could directly mobilize the army and people of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. It turned out that the root of this problem was here.

At least half of the people he left in Chang'an this time were those he observed himself, combined with the memories of his original body, as well as some people he had an idea about but had no clear evidence or suspicion about, so he did not bring them with him.

As a result, he never expected that even though he was so careful, there were still people from Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji stared at Hong Mengping, but Hong Mengping did not change his expression at all. He spoke without any consideration.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. When I was in Chang'an, I did pass on information for the King of Qin. My son committed a crime in the capital and the King of Qin caught him. The King of Qin used this to threaten me and asked me to pass on information three times.

Before May of the sixth year of Wude, I selected some unimportant matters and completed the three intelligence transmissions. After that, I never had any contact with the Qin Palace again.

Your Majesty, please understand that this time when you came to Lingnan, I brought all eight of my family with me, leaving no one behind in the capital. I have never had any other thoughts and am willing to follow you, Your Majesty. Even if it means risking the lives of my entire family, I will not back down.

However, I have provided information to the King of Qin. I know I am guilty, but my heart is only loyal to the King!"

After Hong Mengping finished speaking, he waited for Li Yuanji's decision with a determined expression.
