In the middle of the night, Li Ke's king's account.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke sat opposite each other and played a game of chess. Between raising his hands and feet, Li Ke looked very much like Li Shimin. Obviously, there is trouble in his heart, but he can't see a hint of happiness or anger from his expression. He was calm and calm, his face sinking like water, and even his eyes were clear as water and wise, as if he was simply throwing himself into a game of chess.

Qin Mubai often thinks that Li Ke is not too old, only in his early twenties. How could it be so mature and stable? Perhaps it is also related to the environment in which he grew up.

I remember hearing a sentence, it takes only one night for a girl to become a woman and it will definitely succeed; and for a boy to become a man, it takes thousands of hardships.

Li Ke is a concubine who grew up in the palace, and has experienced all sorts of troubles and struggles since childhood. Therefore, in his early twenties, he has mature characteristics that his peers do not possess. If it weren't for Qin Mubai's 30-year-old heart, I am afraid it would be difficult to communicate with him.

"It's late, Mu Bai, are you sleepy?" Li Ke asked lightly and cast a finger.

Qin Mubai looked at the chessboard and found that he had already lost. At the end of the chess game, his chess skills have never been better than Li Ke. Moreover, Li Ke has always been very attentive when playing chess, never letting go or making fakes, which is no different from other business things he does.

"If your Royal Highness is sleepy, I will retire first." Qin Mubai said.

"No. Let me talk, just stop playing chess." Li Ke stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "I never thought that Jiangzhou trip would be so much. We are still He underestimated the emperor father. Every time he took a move, his intentions were quite profound. Mu Bai, we are very dangerous at this moment, do you know?"

"I know." Qin Mubai said, "If Chen Yan really kills Zhang Tianci... then we will ruin the overall situation of Emperor Bu. A catastrophe is imminent."

"Yeah! Maybe the father would think that we killed Zhang Tianci to avoid trouble, or the prince was killing people to save himself. That is also our inability to do things that broke the layout of the father. In any case. In this way, as long as Zhang Tianci is dead now, we will be in trouble." Li Ke said, "This rebellious courtier and thief, now his life is more expensive than anyone else."

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness, there is actually something I have kept from you. Originally, I didn't want to tell you, but now to relieve your pressure, I will tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Li Ke asked slightly surprised.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly to himself, and then told Li Ke about He Gan Chengji. This is the end of the matter, and there is nothing to hide. After all, Li Ke is the person who bears the most pressure. Telling him this kind of thing can relieve his pressure, and it will be good for his camp.

Li Ke was stunned for a while after listening, and suddenly he stroked his palms and praised: "Wonderful! The crown prince made a faint move, but it just happened to complete your wonderful move! Mu Bai, you have done this very beautifully. , It’s a fortune! If it’s me, it’s really tricky. I don’t know how to deal with the foundation!"

"He must die. When he is dead, the prince should wake up. Now that the emperor is making arrangements, his intention may be to target him. If he is unwilling to wait and die, he should take the initiative to clarify to the emperor that he has nothing to do with this case. Or kick Sheng Nanhou away from him as soon as possible." Qin Mubai said, "This way, the pressure on His Highness will be much less. The emperor investigated the Jiangzhou case in order to target the prince, but regarded His Highness and me as The use of a gun made us quite stressed. Now that the prince voluntarily runs out to block between the emperor and his highness, then we are much easier."

"Yes, that's it!" Li Ke took a long breath, slapped his hands and laughed, "You are right, now I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed! In this way, that Zhang Tianci is dead Life is not that important anymore!"

"Not necessarily." Qin Mubai said, "I always feel that Chen Yan is a bit problematic. It's not as simple as avenging her husband. Since she has worked so hard to kill Zhang Tianci, she probably has ulterior motives. Your Highness has ever thought about it. , If Zhang Tianci died at this time, who would benefit most?"

"This..." Li Ke twisted his brows slightly, his eyes lit up suddenly, "You mean, besides the prince, there is another big fish behind Zhang Tianci?"

"It's hard to tell." Qin Mubai said, "His Royal Highness, think about it, although the prince is a very hard backstage, but he is far away in the capital after all, and he usually doesn't have much time to take care of a small Sheng Nanhou, although Zhang Tianci is his nurse's younger brother, and the two are also known as uncles. However, this relationship is neither blood nor profitable. The distance between the two is one foot apart for one day, which is a tens of thousands of distances. I have always suspected that in addition to the prince, Zhang Tianci has an obvious relationship bond, he also has a backstage to support him!"

"Listening to what you said, I also feel reasonable." Li Ke nodded and said, "A marquis in a mere district, who has neither soldiers nor real power, can be so rampant in Jiangzhou? Kun and these people all became a big official after taking refuge in him. I have to doubt that this person does have some means."

"So I have more reason to suspect that Chen Yan wants to kill people. The purpose is to cover the big fish behind Sheng Nanhou." Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows and said, "Maybe, the emperor really wants to Dealing with... is that person?"

"Oh?!" Li Ke screamed, suddenly a little speechless, lost in thought!

Qin Mubai's heart is slightly bright: Seeing Li Ke's expression, he mostly thinks of some "important" person, and he has a clue in his heart. It is worthy of Li Shimin to deal with such twists and turns, certainly not ordinary people, either the royal family or the important minister of the country.

Although the emperor and the ministers had to die, the emperor needed a reasonable excuse to cover the mouth of everyone in Youyou. And seeing that Li Shimin's behavior is so secretive, if it is really aimed at a certain courtier, then he mostly just wants to take this opportunity to teach it, and it doesn't really mean to kill people.

"Mu Bai, it seems that Jiangzhou's affairs will get worse..." Li Ke took a long breath and spit out slowly, shook his head, and said, "I knew this before, I might as well just leave home and do nothing. People."

"His Royal Highness, it seems that you have come up with some clues." Qin Mubai said, "Is there really a backstage behind Victory Nanhou?"

"It's just a guess, not sure." Li Ke said softly, "If that person is really him... Then I really don't want to investigate this case anymore."

"Why?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise. The person who can make Li Ke have such an idea is definitely extraordinary.

"Because...If it was really him, I would rather go to my father to be scolded and punished, than shake him out." Li Ke said.

Qin Mubai was speechless for a while. He never knew who Li Ke respected, whom he had the best relationship with, or who was more important to him than himself.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me for being rude... Can I know who this person you guessed is?" Qin Mubai asked.

Li Ke raised his head and looked at the dim yellow ceiling of the king's tent under the shining of the oil lamp, and said leisurely: "The governor of Bingzhou, the official book of the school etiquette department, the king of Jiangxia-my uncle, Li Daozong!"

"What?! How could it be possible!" Qin Mubai was really taken aback!

Li Daozong, Li Shimin's cousin, one of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty in the Li family, Zhuo Su is admired by the world, and even Li Shimin is very close to, trusting and protecting his cousin. A few years ago, in order to cut expenditures and amass political power in his own hands, Li Shimin drastically cut down on the princes of the clan, but instead gave Jiangxia King Li Daozong food.

In the first year of Emperor Tang Gaozu's Wude, 19-year-old Li Daozong became the head of Lueyang County, starting with Qianniu. In the second year of Wu De, 20-year-old Li Daozong followed Li Shimin to resist Liu Wuzhou. It was from that battle that Li Daozong began to exert his unparalleled military genius and became famous in the first battle. He assisted Li Shimin, defeated Song Jingang and Liu Wuyong, regained Hedong and stabilized Guanzhong, and personally persuaded Liu Wuzhou's general to surrender Wei Chi Jingde.

After that, Li Daozong and Li Shimin eliminated the separatist forces like Chi Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. He comes from the Guanlong military aristocratic group. Since he was a young boy, he has been adept at bowing horses with great bravery and fearlessness. He often took the lead with Li Shimin and bathed his blood. Apart from blood relatives, the two were more condensed from the blood on the battlefield. Deep feelings.

In the five years of Wude, Tang Gaozu granted Li Daozong the post of chief of the march on Lingzhou Road, and finally began to stand alone to guard the northern half of Datang. At this time, the Liang division seized control of Xiazhou and colluded with the Turks, and asked his brother Liang Luoren to take tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers to surround the Lingzhou where Li Daozong was located. Li Daozong was calm and composed, first defended the city, and then attacked, killing the Turkic soldiers. The Tang army expanded the results and quickly drove the Turkic soldiers out of the five original places and opened up thousands of miles to the north!

In that year, the young Li Daozong was named the king of the city, and he has since become a famous young hero!

Since then, Li Daozong has been guarding the northern borders of Lingzhou for many years, and he has shined in the war with Turks. A few years ago, he and Li Jing put down the Northern Turks’ capture of Jieli Khan together, and made a big splash in the war of Tuyuhun in Xiding. Using the tactics of light cavalry raids, he marched for more than 2,000 miles in the uninhabited and bitter cold land. The sea catches up with Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan, and breaks all others...

As for Li Daozong's magnificent military exploits, no one in the Datang world knows. Just this year, Li Daozong had just been reappointed the king of Jiangxia County due to meritorious service, awarded Jinzhou Governor and Prosecutor's Ministry of Etiquette, and also named Shiyi. Among the royal family members of the Li family, the prince most favored by the people and the people is Li Daozong!

Among all the heroes of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty, Li Daozong's reputation and status are unmatched! If the long-term Sun Wuji is because of nepotism and the special role of the Xuanwu School, he loves Li Shimin’s trust and respect; then Jiangxia King Li Daozong has won the absolute trust of Li Shimin and the love of Tang’s subjects based on his own strength. And support!

……

If the big backstage behind Sheng Nanhou is Jinzhou Governor Li Daozong... then it's no wonder that Li Ke is so hesitant!

"I understand your Highness's feelings." Qin Mubai's mood also became a little dignified, "If it is really King Jiang Xia, then I am not willing to investigate this case further. Then, I hope tonight Chen Yan can kill Zhang Tianci's muddy ball. It's a hundred."

"Zhang Tianci, I still can't die..." Li Ke said with a sad expression on his brows, "Jinzhou is very close to this, and King Jiang Xia was appointed as the governor of Jinzhou, and he actually controlled all the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan, the northern capital. . With his fame, qualifications, and real power, it is indeed possible to say one thing in this area. If Zhang Tianci suddenly died at this time, it is of course that there is no evidence of death and cannot be investigated. But this will only make the father more suspicious, not the best policy. "

"Your Highness is reasonable." Qin Mubai nodded. Li Ke’s words were vague. In fact, what he meant was that Li Daozong was born in the imperial family and had the merits of being a dragon, coupled with the outstanding merits of war honors, and high popularity among his officials and the people. Li Shimin Being a king is sure to be jealous of him. If the misunderstanding and suspicion between the two of them are deepened, it will definitely plant a huge political disaster.

"My emperor's uncle is good with everything else, except for one shortcoming that makes people laugh and cry, everything else is perfect." Li Ke said suddenly.

"What is it?"

"Legacy for money." Li Ke shook his head and said, "He is greedy for money and is different from others. Others are greedy for money only for enjoyment, or to buy land and house to marry a wife and concubine, or to receive antiques and treasures, knives and horses. He is the same. No, he just likes money. In fact, his life has always been very simple, maybe even a little stingy, but all the money is saved as much as possible and not spent."

"That's really a quirk!" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. "It is reasonable to say that he has received a lot of rewards and honors for his reputation and status. In addition, he is definitely not short of money. Flowers. He has become a hobby like some people like to collect calligraphy and painting porcelain."

"Yes. He has such a quirk." Li Ke said, "A generation of famous generals and founding fathers has such a strange hobby. It is really ridiculous to say it. It is also because of this that I suddenly thought of him. First of all, King Jiang Xia said one thing in the Jinhe area, and Jinzhou is so close to Jiangzhou, three people love money, Zhang Tianci and others are also greedy for money, four Zhang Tianci has a relationship with the prince, which is extremely Convenient to make friends with the royal family... Mu Bai, if Zhang Tianci’s backstage is really King Jiang Xia, shall we just let it go? Take down Zhang Tianci by means of thunder and thunder, and make him a rule of corruption and slaughter of officials, beheaded first and played later. The emperor also gave me the right to make arbitrary decisions. It is far better to kill it with my hand than Zhang Tianci's inexplicable death."

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and nodded: "Since your Royal Highness is so determined, I have nothing to say. It's just that now these are just our guesses. How about making a decision after seeing Chen Yan's implementation? "

"Good too!"

After a long time, the little **** Baiqi who had been sent out to do the work came back.

"Report to Your Highness, General, Chen Yan has been brought here!"

"Where are the people? Dead or alive?" Li Ke and Qin Mubai stood up together and asked at the same time.

"Living! It's in the abandoned house in the small forest three miles outside the military camp! This woman is fierce and domineering, and refuses to come with me. Out of helplessness, I wait to use force to take it down." The **** returned Tao.

"Okay, great!" Qin Mubai turned to Li Ke and said, "His Majesty, stay calm and not restless. See me to examine Chen Yan, everything will be understood!"

Li Ke's expression is also a little anxious, it seems that he wants to go too. After thinking about it, he suppressed it, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you!"
