Chapter 108 Royal Secrets
What?!
He Zhizhang leaned forward and widened his eyes, looking incredible. Fortunately, it was not the first time he saw him, otherwise Gao Mang would really think that the old man was going to hit someone.
He Zhizhang looked at the old man next to the curtain again. When the other party nodded slightly bitterly, He Zhizhang leaned back dejectedly.
After losing his mind for a moment, He Zhizhang murmured: "As for this reason, Tianyun Department already knows it."
Gao Mang shook his head and said, "I only call my own people, so Tianyun Department is not aware of it. Of course, it is only for the time being."
A divine light flashed in He Zhizhang's eyes, and the word "temporary" is very interesting.
Gao Mang continued: "In the secret base outside Youzhou City, we seized an account book. By chance, the account book recorded the transaction list of Liu Zhicheng's trading company. Following this clue, we sent someone to Chang'an. After several checks, we finally found the head of a noble man."
Gao Mang looked at He Zhizhang's eyes and said word by word: "King E, Li Yao!"
The noble man who helped Liu Zhicheng was Li Yao, the King of E.
It was King E who discovered Liu Zhicheng's superpowers and thus took over his command.
It was King E who secretly sponsored Liu Zhicheng and opened a business to hide his identity.
It was King E who sent someone to persuade the retired Ministry of War to give his daughter to Liu Zhicheng.
If it weren't for this, how could Liu Zhicheng be wholeheartedly towards King E, gathering people to rebel, stealing Wu Chengsi's body, and risking his life to cooperate with King E's plan.
The room fell into silence, and after a moment, He Zhizhang lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "This King E, so brave!"
Is it just King E?
Gao Mang was funny. Just by King E, he could drive Zhang Shougui and convince Cui Xiyi?
Can a King E be able to deeply intervene in the Tianyun Department and the Shadow Department and hinder the investigation?
Just one King E can blame King Shou, and defeat Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu in a defeat?
Just relying on one King of E dares to take the big ruthlessness of the world and make plans and act rebellious?
Gao Mang looked at He Zhizhang and said lightly: "Old He, let's talk about your student, Prince Li Ying's story."
Under the dim lights, He Zhizhang's face also dimmed and he nodded mutely.
"Crown Prince Li Ying is the second son of the saint. Because his eldest son, Li Cong, had his face broken when he was young and lost his qualifications as a crown prince, Li Ying was crowned the crown prince in the third year of Kaiyuan."
"It's just a pity that Li Ying's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, was born as a singer and had a humble status and could not give any help to the prince. The prince was criticized for his background and was increasingly disliked by the saints."
"At that time, the saint began to favor Wu Huifei Wu Yuner, who was still a talented concubine, and gradually alienated Concubine Zhao Li and other concubines in the harem. Wu Yuner was jealous of Empress Wang and other concubines. In the following years, the two sons and daughters born to the saint and Wu Yuner died suddenly. When Li Wen was born, Concubine Wu Hui did not even dare to leave her son in the palace, but sent him to the Ning King's mansion for foster care, and raised Li Wen so tremblingly."
"Wu Yuner determined that the death of the three children was that Empress Wang, Concubine Zhao Li, and Prince E's biological mother, Emperor Fu Deyi, were behind the scenes, so she launched crazy revenge, which led to the deposed Empress Wang. Concubine Zhao Li, the birth mother of the prince, also died of depression in the 14th year of Kaiyuan due to excessive frightening and the emperor's neglect."
"With the rise of Wu Huifei and the growth of Shou King Li Ju, the saints became more and more disgusted with the prince, and they had the idea of deposing the prince several times, but they were all stopped by the ministers. After all, Li Ying was the orthodox Li Yu of Li of the Tang Dynasty and the support of civil officials. With the help of E King Li Yao and Guang King Li Ju, the position of the prince was not safe for a while. However, just last year, Li Ying was pessimistic."
Gao Mang paused for a moment and continued to say in an unemotional tone: "Last year, Concubine Wu Hui planned to marry King Shou and Hongnong Yang. Once the marriage was successful, it means that King Shou would be supported by the Guanlong family and would be stronger. Li Linfu, who was hostile to the prince, was increasingly trusted by the emperor and might even become prime minister. Li Ying felt unprecedented pressure. Perhaps he had already deduced that his position as the prince would eventually be replaced by King Shou."
He Zhizhang looked at Gao Mang in a daze and couldn't help but interrupt, "All these are what Princess Yuzhen told you?"
Gao Mang originally wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, he would let his senior sister take the blame, so he nodded.
What he said involves the royal secret Xin, probably even He Zhizhang is unknown. If he had not been informed by the outsider, how could he know so much?
"Is it a frog like a warm water or a fight back? This is the choice before the prince,"
Gao Mang continued, "The prince finally chose the latter and decided to fight hard. I believe that when the prince makes this decision, he must be sad and angry. He has been the prince for twenty years. How could he be willing to give up the position of prince and be slaughtered by others?"
Gao Mang looked at He Zhizhang with a dull expression on the opposite side, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and said slowly: "The other half of the story you want to listen to start from here."
Crown Prince Li Ying's attempt was also taking revenge, and directly pointed the finger at the enemy Wu Huifei, who killed his mother, and Li Linfu.
By chance, he learned about the secret of using dead bodies to create ghost soldiers, and then came up with a bold idea.
Why can't we take advantage of the fear of the remnants of Wu Zhou by the Li Tang Dynasty officials and the emperor, and create a shocking conspiracy?
After all, Li Ying was the crown prince for twenty years, and had won over some forces and supported a group of gangs. With the assistance of King E and King Guang, as well as the support of the two prime ministers Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing, he had already weaved a huge network of forces in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone on this Internet, whether out of grace or in interest, is willing to be driven by the prince.
Therefore, the prince found Manichaeists and secretly created Yin soldiers. He also used the canal transportation to transport Yin soldiers to various places. He first released a small amount to test the court's reaction and also left time for the fermentation of the incident.
Sure enough, the appearance of the Yin soldiers attracted the attention of the court and also alarmed the Tianyun Department, especially the gathering of thousands of Yin soldiers outside the Xiaoshan City, which even shocked the emperor.
Later, the prince began to launch ghost soldiers across the country, causing panic among the people of the Tang Dynasty. Public opinion was raging, and the court could not suppress it even if it wanted to.
Immediately afterwards, the prince ordered people to spread rumors, starting from Wenshui County, Bingzhou, Wu Zetian's hometown, threatening that the Yin soldiers were Wu Zetian's Yin spirit summoning, intending to overthrow the rule of Li Tang and reshape the Wuzhou dynasty on the day of Wu Zetian's death.
Then the demon Liu Zhicheng rebelled and threatened that the Holy Lord Wu Chengsi would entrust him to dream of him, and confer him the restoration of the country, and he also dragged Concubine Wu Hui into the water.
At this point, all the public opinion in the Tang Dynasty was directed at the descendants of Wu Zhou represented by Concubine Wu Hui, and even Li Linfu and Shou King Li Guan.
