Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 156 Yang Guozhong's Stumbling Block
Soon after returning to the palace, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang received the news that Prince Li Hengxiu had abandoned Princess Du.

Tang Xuanzong sighed: "It's good to leave!"

The next day, Tang Xuanzong recruited Yang Guozhong to let Yang Guozhong know about the case of Du Youlin and Liu Ji as soon as possible, and to restore the prince's innocence.

"Restore His Highness the crown prince's innocence?" Yang Guozhong was startled.

Tang Xuanzong made it very clear in this way, that is, Tang Xuanzong had no intention of abolishing the prince, did not want to implicate the prince, and asked Yang Guozhong to close the case as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Yang Guozhong was unwilling, he did not dare to question Tang Xuanzong's decision and led the order out of the palace.

"Li Fei, I swear against you!" Back at his prime minister's mansion, Yang Guozhong had a gloomy expression on his face. Li Fei first went to the East Palace, and then entered the palace to intercede for the prince. Yang Guozhong knew about it yesterday.

Yang Guozhong felt that Li Fei must have convinced Tang Xuanzong, otherwise, why did Tang Xuanzong go to the East Palace in person just after Li Fei left the palace, and told him to close the case as soon as possible the next day, so that the prince could not be implicated.

This time, if he wanted to bring down the prince, he might not succeed.Because of this, Yang Guozhong put all the blame on Li Fei, and his hatred for Li Fei deepened.

Since the prince cannot be implicated, the case must be closed as soon as possible, and Liu Ji is dead, so the rest is to deal with Du Youlin.Since the prince could not be pulled down, it was useless to keep Du Youlin, so Yang Guozhong ordered Du Youlin to be executed and closed the case hastily.

Perhaps because he felt a little guilty for Li Heng and wanted to make up for it, Tang Xuanzong not only transferred some eunuchs and maids from the palace to supplement the manpower of the East Palace, but also arranged a marriage for Li Heng.

This time she is going to marry the daughter of the Zhang family, named Liangdi, and the Crown Princess is suspended, so Zhang Liangdi is equivalent to the Crown Princess, and she is also the queen after Li Heng ascended the throne in history.

This family is different from ordinary small families and is quite powerful.

Regarding this marriage, Li Heng couldn't tell what it was like, at least he was really relieved, his father really didn't want to abandon him, otherwise he wouldn't let him marry the Zhang family's daughter.

Li Heng's crisis is over, many people put 'credit' on Li Fei, thinking that Li Fei saved Li Heng.After all, all the officials watched Li Fei expose Liu Ji in the court hall, and Li Fei entered the palace to plead with Tang Xuanzong, so Tang Xuanzong came to the East Palace and then hurriedly closed the case.

Even Li Heng felt that it was Li Fei who played a big role in keeping his crown prince position. Li Heng was absolutely grateful to Li Fei.

No one thought that Li Heng was not abolished. In fact, Tang Xuanzong never had the idea of ​​abolishing the prince from the beginning to the end.If Tang Xuanzong had the idea of ​​abolishing the prince, let alone Li Fei pleading, even Yang Guifei's pleading may not be useful.

Although Li Fei thought he hadn't done anything, he unceremoniously "smiled" for this "credit" to Li Heng.After all, his original purpose was to ask Li Heng to accept his kindness, which was enough for Li Heng not to blame him in the future.

"The royal family is really chaotic, and the prince is also a pitiful person. Under the crisis, this time can be regarded as a very happy one." Lin Shiyue's stomach slowly began to show, and in the boudoir, she leaned on Li Fei's arms and listened to Li Fei talking about this time. , muttered.

"Yes, is the crown prince Jitai here?" Li Fei nodded. After this ordeal, Li Heng has basically gone through the rest smoothly, and there will be no more major ordeals until the Anshi Rebellion.

"It's just that this human heart has been tormented for more than ten years. I'm afraid it's also distorted. It will inevitably be a little violent in the future." Li Fei sighed.

Lin Shiyue's beautiful eyes rolled for a moment. She was very intelligent and transparent, and she could understand Li Fei's meaning after a little thought, but she didn't answer the words, and just lay quietly in Li Fei's arms. If you want to protect your family, don't care about other things.

A month later, Li Heng and Zhang's daughter got married, and the East Palace was filled with red silk and filled with joy.

More than ten years of continuous suppression has created Li Heng's forbearing character.

Although his power has increased a lot after marrying Zhang's daughter with a good background, and he also confirmed that Tang Xuanzong did not intend to abolish the prince, and he is safe for the time being, but Li Heng still dare not have the slightest Zhang Yang became even more cautious, not making any mistakes.

After the court, Li Heng walked faster, and when he was about to leave the palace gate, he caught up with Li Fei, and he nodded to Li Fei.Although he didn't say anything to Li Fei, Li Fei could see that Li Heng was expressing his gratitude to him, which meant that Li Heng really kept Li Fei in his heart, and Li Fei nodded in return.

"Hateful!" Yang Guozhong clearly witnessed the interaction between Li Heng and Li Fei not far away, which made him very annoyed.

After this battle, the prince Li Heng not only did not fall, but married Zhang's daughter, his power suddenly increased a lot, and it was clear that Tang Xuanzong did not intend to abolish the prince, and Li Heng's position as prince was stable. Now, for their own future plans, some people began to contact Li Heng secretly.

Yang Guozhong's gums were bleeding from biting his teeth, he hated Li Fei more and more, and disliked Li Fei more and more.

Even if Li Fei can't be brought down for a while, Yang Guozhong doesn't want Li Fei to have a good time.

Yang Guozhong would not be Yang Guozhong if he didn't tell tales.

Looking for an opportunity, Yang Guozhong told Tang Xuanzong that some people began to contact the prince secretly.

"The prince has already told me that he is just a follower of power. When I was the prince, did such things happen?" Tang Xuanzong shook his head. The prince had already reported to him, and every day, Everyone who wanted to come up wrote a memorial and reported it to him, which made him very satisfied, and he would no longer be suspicious of the prince because of this.

Yang Guozhong was a little disappointed that he failed to trip the prince, but his appearance today was not just to trip the prince, he also wanted to trip Li Fei.

"It was also Li Fei who came into contact with the crown prince early on, and got the crown prince's gratitude, so he took the lead. If the crown prince succeeds in the future, Li Fei will definitely be a minister beside the crown prince. I don't know if Li Fei can be a prime minister?"

Yang Guozhong's seemingly unintentional words made Tang Xuanzong frowned, feeling quite uncomfortable. What did Li Fei think?
While he is still in office, Li Fei has already thought of currying favor with the prince, waiting for the prince to inherit the throne, so that he can become the prince's minister?That kid is not very old, but it seems that his ambition is not small.

Tang Xuanzong was undoubtedly a very stingy person, or in other words, few emperors were broad-minded. Yang Guozhong's words pierced Tang Xuanzong's heart like a thorn, which made him feel faint towards Li Fei unknowingly. A trace of disgust.

Yang Guozhong has been secretly paying attention to Tang Xuanzong's face, and seeing Tang Xuanzong's brows furrowed and his eyes slightly cold, he knew that his trip to Li Fei had succeeded.How can Li Fei, a wild boy, beat him, Yang Guozhong, take his time, one day he will still be able to bring Li Fei down.
