Chapter 800 Innocent
Lishan Hot Spring Palace.

The foot of the mountain is guarded by Li Tang Yulin Army at every level, and the guard is tight.

Now Li Yuan brought his beloved Xue Jieyu, Zhang Jieyu and others to the hot spring palace to recuperate. Ever since Li Chongjiu defeated the Turks, Li Yuan's health has not been very good, and he has been doing everything by himself all year round, which made him a little tired.

It is said that after Li Chongjiu destroyed the Turks this time, Li Yuan fell ill.In fact, Li Yuan is not badly ill, but the cause of the illness is years of overwork, coupled with the recent worry about poverty in Guanzhong, insufficient money and food, no progress in the war, and more importantly, the three sons' fighting openly and secretly made Li Yuan very upset.

In the end, Li Yuan fell seriously ill in the Promise Palace.

After recovering from the illness, the imperial physician's suggestion was to let Li Yuan rest for a while.Li Yuan had no choice but to compromise in the face of his illness. He handed over important affairs of state affairs to Li Jiancheng, and the crown prince supervised the country. He left general affairs to Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shentong, and then he went to the hot spring palace to recuperate.

After more than ten days, Li Yuan's health was in good order, but the servants of the hot spring palace also thought of ways to make Li Yuan happy.

On this day, Li Yuan, Xue Jieyu, and Zhang Jieyu were enjoying the court music and dance, when they saw 120 or eight soldiers of the Tang Army walking stridingly, like a battle formation, with a band playing and drums beating.

Singing and dancing together, I saw the armored soldiers of the Tang army chanting: "The imperial style of the four seas is covered, and the thousand years of virtue and water are clear; the military uniforms are not worn, and today is a success. The Lord opened the Changli, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; after you look at Yange, It's Taiping Autumn."

Several caring people were watching Li Yuan's expression at this moment.But Li Yuan looked normal, watching the singing and dancing as usual.

Xue Jieyu couldn't help but asked tentatively: "What do you think of this dance, Your Majesty?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, when I served the former Emperor Chaoyang in Li Palace, I heard the song of King Lanling entering the battle, but it was not as good as this song."

Xue Jieyu smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Song of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle was made when the King of Qin was in the second year of Wude, when he repelled the invasion of Zhao Jun in Taiyuan, and the soldiers filled in new lyrics with the old song. This is the Song of the King of Qin breaking the formation."

After hearing this, Li Yuan said indifferently: "Very good. The song is very good, and King Qin is also very good."

Li Yuan sat for a while, and then someone said: "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to see you from Qingzhou."

Li Yuan immediately said: "Xuan! Let him come to the study."

In the study, Li Yuan held the secret letter in his hand, and looked at Er Zhuhuan and Yu Zhining who were kneeling in front of him, his face became more and more angry.

Yu Zhining stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. Your body will be hurt by your anger. Your illness will not be cured soon."

Li Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "Rebellious son, how can I not be angry, King Qin, where are you now?"

Yu Zhining said: "The King of Qin is still sitting in Chang'an after hearing the news."

Li Yuan showed a look of admiration and said: "Okay, the important place in Chang'an is not allowed to leave without permission. The king of Qin is doing the right thing. You tell the king of Qin to monitor the prince and king of Qi for me. If there is any change, report it immediately. In addition, I will write a secret decree to you." You, give it to the king of Qin to let him restrain the imperial army in the northern and southern yamen at any time."

"The humble minister leads the decree." Yu Zhining knelt down immediately.

"In addition, pass on my edict, ordering the prince to come to the hot spring palace to see me immediately!"

Chang'an East Palace.

A fast horse was galloping, and the person on the horse yelled at the people in front of the palace gate: "Quick, quick, open the door quickly! I want to see the prince."

"I'm blind, this East Palace is also a place for you to be presumptuous." The guard just said halfway, but saw the other party take out a waist card.

At that moment, the guard turned around and shouted, "Quick, open the door for your envoy immediately, it's a matter of urgency."
The people on the horse galloped into the East Palace and saw Li Jiancheng who was having a drink with Feng Li, Wei Ting and other confidantes.

"His Royal Highness, something is wrong."
"What's the matter, speak slowly."

"Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan betrayed the prince. He handed over the secret letter written to the prince by Yang Wenqian, governor of Gyeongju, to His Majesty, and falsely accused the prince of wanting to eradicate the frontier generals, seize military power, privately store dead soldiers, secretly stockpile armor, etc. Intended to rebel!"

"Ah!" Li Jiancheng couldn't help but suddenly lost his voice in surprise, the wine glass in his hand also fell off, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

Feng Li, Wei Ting and others all stood up and said, "Prince, please take care."

Li Jiancheng collapsed in the tunnel and said: "Wronged, Gu doesn't mean that at all, it must be someone's plan to wrong Gu."

Feng Li stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty has already learned about the matter. It is useless to say that you are wronged now. How can you convince His Majesty to trust you?"

Wei Ting said: "It's hard, it's clear that someone framed His Highness the Crown Prince, Qiao Gongshan, Er Zhuhuan testified, and Yang Wengan's personal letter. These are witnesses and evidences. I'm afraid His Majesty will find it hard to believe the Crown Prince. gone."

The person who reported the letter said: "His Royal Highness, the messenger who came from Mount Li is about to arrive at the East Palace. He has ordered the Crown Prince to meet him at Mount Li. His Royal Highness must quickly take out the envoy. Here comes the countermeasure."

"Countermeasures, there is no countermeasure for Gu Yan, Wei Qing, Feng Qing, quickly think of a way, save Gu!"

Wei Ting pondered for a while and said: "His Royal Highness, in fact, there are ways."

"Wei Qing, what can I do?"

Wei Ting said: "His Royal Highness, the emperor is not in Chang'an right now, and you are the prince to supervise the country. Everyone inside and outside Chang'an will listen to your orders. You can order the four gates to be blocked, and first detain the envoy from Lishan. After a while Then find a few ministers and the clan to go to Lishan to plead for you, and on the other hand, find out who framed you and prove your innocence. Although this matter was planned by someone, the method is not clever. As long as you search for evidence, the truth will be revealed immediately. The prince can wash away his grievances."

Li Jiancheng was deeply moved when he heard Wei Ting's words, and cried bitterly: "What Wei Qing said is really a good strategy, and it has lived up to Gu Ping's trust in you."

Wei Ting listened and said: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is serious. At this time, if the humble minister does not help the Crown Prince, who else will help?"

No one noticed that when Wei Ting said this, there was a cold light in the corner of his eyes.

On the Jingshui, Qiao Gongshan heard the footsteps outside the boat plank, and knew that he was being closely guarded by Er Zhuhuan and others.

Qiao Gongshan, on the other hand, had an attitude of being at ease when he came, he wanted to chat with a guard arranged by Yu Zhining, but the other party ignored him.Qiao Gongshan knew that the other party probably had obeyed Yu Zhining's secret order to execute him secretly, so he already regarded himself as a dead thing.

The reason why the other party didn't make a move right now was that they were not sure whether Li Yuan believed the contents of the letter. If he confronted him, then Qiao Gongshan still had value. The fate of being silenced.

But then there was a muffled groan and the sound of a sword piercing flesh from outside the door.The guard guarding him suddenly stood up, Qiao Gongshan reacted without delay, pulled out a knife from under the bed, and slashed at him.

The opponent backhanded a sword, blocking his own slash.

Qiao Gongshan is also the leader of the guards of the Eastern Palace, his martial arts are naturally not bad at all, but after the fight, he couldn't help but secretly startled.The people in the Prince Qin's Mansion were superior to him in terms of reaction power, after a few strikes, Qiao Gongshan could only parry, but had no backhand power.

Seeing that he was about to lose, Qiao Gongshan secretly called out: "My life is over."

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and several people dressed as boatmen surrounded the people from Prince Qin's Mansion, and one of them said, "General Qiao, is everything okay!"

Qiao Gongshan laughed and said: "I'm fine, but this person is a powerful character, you are worried."

"Don't worry, everyone outside has been dealt with."
The people from Prince Qin's Mansion suddenly changed their expressions and shouted: "Do you know what you are doing? You dare to kill even the people from Tiance Mansion, don't you have King Qin in your eyes?"

"King Qin?" The other party sneered, "Our Rumor Department killed the people of King Qin."

"Zhao Jun's Secret Spy and Rumor Department?" The other party suddenly shouted with a look of surprise and anger, "Qiao Gongshan, you are Zhao Jun's spy."

As soon as the words were finished, several Xi Zuo from the Fengwen Division rushed forward, and after a few knives, the master of the Qin Palace stabbed another person, and was chopped into meat by Xi Zuo.

"Thank you for your life-saving grace." Qiao Gongshan clasped his fists and thanked the rumored secret agents who saved him with a face full of gratitude.It was rumored that Si was willing to pay such a price to save himself, Qiao Gongshan was also grateful for this kindness.

"Don't thank me, but General Cao Bie."

"Bie General Cao!" Qiao Gongshan naturally knew that General Cao Bie of the Rumor Department was Cao Wen, and that the head of the Luoyang Department, one of the six departments of the Rumor Department, was actually Cao Wen's order to save him.

Qiao Gongshan said: "I didn't expect General Cao Bie to personally order to rescue someone. Could it be that General Cao Bie is in the pass right now?"

"Not only in the pass, but also on the ship." A man in a cloth robe came out as he spoke.

"See General Cao Bie, thank you for saving your life."

Seeing Qiao Gongshan kowtow to him, Cao Wen turned sideways slightly and said, "Don't thank me first, saving you is just a matter of little effort, and there is a more dangerous thing waiting for you to do, which has something to do with whether our Rumor Department's operation this time The key to success."

After hearing this, Qiao Gongshan said immediately: "Don't hesitate to show Cao Bie."

Cao Wen nodded and said: "That's right, our Rumor Department has already learned from you and other channels that Li Shimin framed Li Jiancheng this time. If Li Jiancheng is allowed to develop now, Li Jiancheng will not be able to argue with it. He will definitely lose the crown prince and be abolished by Li Yuan." , and let Li Shimin inherit the crown prince. This is not what our Department of Rumors would like to see."

"Then Cao Biejiang, in which direction do you want things to develop?"

Cao Wen immediately said: "It's very simple. It is said that Li Shimin cannot be allowed to take the position. We must destroy this matter and save Li Jiancheng. If Li Jiancheng survives this time, the estrangement between the two brothers will deepen, and Li and Tang's internal fighting will intensify. Great benefit."

"Then Cao Biejiang, what do you want me to do?"

"Go to the East Palace immediately, tell Li Jiancheng the truth, and let him take you to Li Yuan to confess!"

"What?" Qiao Gongshan suddenly turned pale.
