The Ninth Prince Cheng Wang was shocked by the news one after another in the morning and his mind was confused. First, the secret guards around him came to report that something was wrong with the thing he was staring at was notified, and then the eunuch in the palace came to inform the imperial tomb that the fire had occurred. The emperor summoned several princes to the palace to discuss.

King Cheng met King Yong who was rushing to come outside the palace gate. "Fifth Brother!" King Yong also saw King Cheng, "Ninth Brother, what's going on?" King Yong's hair was a little messy, and he must have been fooling around last night. King Cheng pointed at his hair and asked him to take care of it. Then he went over to pull his collar and covered the red mark on his neck. "I don't know, Eunuch Li said early in the morning that the imperial tomb caught fire last night, and the emperor was furious." King Yong spread his hands and said, "Why are we looking for us?" King Cheng shook his head.

All the princes and the old princes in Lingxi Palace were all here. The emperor sat upright, looking in his forties, and was serious. He glanced over everyone coldly and stared at King Yong. King Yong lowered his lower body respectfully. The red seal accidentally leaked out again. King Yong didn't know that the old prince around him looked at King Yong with reproach. The emperor frowned and said to everyone, "I have brought you everyone because the imperial tomb caught fire last night, and I can't make any decisions, so I want to discuss with you."

The King of Han was the first to speak, "Everything is the Emperor's command." Then he sat aside in an old and unable to manage. The Emperor looked at the King of Han. The King of Han was neither humble nor arrogant. The Emperor said, "Uncle, don't say that. This is a royal matter, and I can't have the final say." At this time, King Yong said, "The Emperor has always considered more thoughtful than us. My brother is the ruler." When everyone saw that King Yong said this, the prince behind him said, and the prince also nodded and agreed. The Emperor looked at King Yong, hum, he was the ruler. When could he be his ruler?

The emperor looked at King Cheng, and King Cheng nodded in agreement. The emperor was too lazy to ask, so he dismissed everyone. Today he summoned them, which was nothing more than this. The fire in the imperial tomb was the royal business, so it was the right thing to ask them for them, but it was just a trivial matter. The emperor looked at the people leaving and narrowed his eyes slightly. His good brother, who was respectful to him on the surface, gave him a lot of trouble behind him, and even made him unable to catch the handle. The King of Han was also an old fox. There were so many uncles and uncles who didn't even care about their brothers, but had to keep him. The father could not move him back then, but the old man couldn't last long and could not accomplish much. As long as he was at peace, he would not need to move him.

Come out of Lingxi Palace, King Cheng smiled and said, "Fifth Brother, why is the emperor staring at you like a lover?" King Yong looked helplessly. He is the only one who says his brother, he is really a brother! The two brothers talked and laughed quietly all the way, turned the palace wall and looked around, and said a few words in Yong's ear with a serious face. King Yong also stopped smiling, "No? Why is it gone?" King Cheng shook his head, "I just learned that I was called before I could interrogate them." Several concubines in front walked towards them, and they stopped talking, said hello and left.

King Cheng and King Yong were not easy to talk at the time, so they made an appointment at the newly opened Yujin Tower. King Cheng's eyes signaled to let the Yinggu guard guard outside the door, and his face was a little bad. "I sent someone to check today. I don't know who is so bold." King Yong held the wine glass and said with a serious expression, "When was it transported away?"

King Cheng shook his head and felt helpless, "The people who came back said they could not find it. They were afraid of being shocked by the enemy. They followed them from afar. They almost found something was wrong near the Heishui River. After secretly checking, they found that the things had been transported away. And when my personnel came back, something happened to Li Zeng, but I was afraid it was not that simple."

In fact, Li Zeng's group of iron was not only staring at Chen Mo, but King Cheng was also staring at him. Although King Yong was not in a good position in his usual state of devotion, it should not be underestimated. The people from King Yong came to the south of the Yangtze River and said that someone took away a group of iron in the name of Li Fu. This person was probably Li Zeng. After careful investigation, he found out the transaction between Li Zeng and a Xiliang man. After further investigation, he could not find out the details of the Xiliang man. King Cheng happened to need these things. Although he was not in a hurry, how could he let him go when the opportunity came, so he sent someone to follow him secretly.

I wanted to find a chance to make some moves, but I didn't expect someone to do it faster than him. And the fire broke out before the things were gone. Both were related to Li Zeng. King Cheng didn't believe that there was such a coincidence. As far as he knew, it was impossible for others to know about this matter. Now that this happened, he must find out the matter clearly. There was no clue to the people of Xiliang who traded with Li Zeng. This was what he was most worried about. The number of irons in this batch was quite large and a hidden danger.

King Yong looked at King Cheng frowned and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, and there is no need to make the investigation too much, don't let our 'Emperor Brother' know these things." King Cheng relaxed a little, "I sent the Shadow Guard to this matter, he couldn't know. But... Fifth Brother, why do you say he asked us all today?" King Yong pondered for a moment. It was impossible for the emperor to find them into the palace just to show royal harmony. "No matter what he is for, be careful, he has a lot of thoughts, and today's affairs should not be that simple!"

Someone was spreading news to King Cheng at any time. Li Zeng was taken down last night. Today, the emperor sent people to the imperial tomb to report that the imperial tomb was burning beyond recognition. The other burning was not serious, but this burning exposed it. It cut corners and did not meet the required standards at all. The materials used were all inferior waste stones. After the strict investigation, the silver used and the allocated silver were not in line with the account, which was much different. The emperor was furious and directly ordered Li Zeng to be sent to prison. After hearing this, he heard it.

On the second day, the emperor sat on the dragon throne. The first thing he said was Li Zeng. "I discussed with several princes yesterday that the imperial tomb is related to the royal family, and Li Zeng was strongly recommended by Li Fu. Li Fu was also responsible for this matter, so he decided to demote Li Fu to the Chief Commander." The words were full of regret and helplessness, but he didn't say anything to Li Zeng, but everyone was in a clear mind. The imperial tomb caught fire and the construction of the imperial tomb was made of inferior materials, which were all for death.

A few princes, look at me, let me see you, discuss? They did not discuss Li Fu's matter! King Cheng and King Yong took a secret look. It turned out that the emperor asked them to go yesterday for this matter! Li Fu was a general, but this general forced the emperor to confer his title. Li Fu's military achievements were great, and not conferring his title would only make everyone's hearts cold. At that time, the emperor's roots were basically unstable. If he didn't want Li Fu to be a general, he would win the hearts of the people.

Li Fu had many military achievements and had great achievements to shock the master. Many people in the court were very close to him, but he didn't know how to restrain himself and promoted Li Zeng. The emperor had long wanted to find a reason to withdraw the troops in Li Fu's hands, but he was too concerned and had to be careful of Li Fu's people. Moreover, the emperor directly surrendered his official position with Li Fu's military merits, which would definitely cause gossip. Yesterday, he summoned the princes to come over, just to use them, making people think that it was not the emperor's lack of humanity, but he was forced to helpless. The key was to bring up King Yong and King Cheng, and these people would also be more restrained.

Several princes looked at King Yong. King Yong had no reaction. King Cheng looked at King Cheng, and King Cheng looked calm. Yes, yesterday the emperor asked them that they asked the emperor to take the initiative, so it was considered a discussion. And even if they were letting them be blamed, what could they do if the two powerful people didn't say anything? What would they dare to do...

Naturally, someone in the court stood up to speak for Li Fu. The emperor was obviously unhappy, but the people who pleaded with mercy were one after another. Sun Zhengsi, the leader, had a small official position and was not very smart. He usually followed Li Fu. Now that something happened to Li Fu, everyone naturally pushed him forward, and he was also happy. If the emperor was really helpless, as long as Li Fu was reinstated, he would be a great hero.

Sun Zhengsi always said that Li Fu was innocent and that Li Zeng was responsible for all matters in building the imperial tomb. He hoped that the emperor would not demote Li Fu's position in view of Li Fu's contribution to Daliang. The pleaders also agreed, and the emperor's face became darker and darker.

At this time, King Yong glanced at King Cheng, and King Cheng said, "Li Fu has made a lot of military achievements for me, Daliang, but the emperor should give me less rewards? Li Zeng was recommended by him. Now something happened, but Lord Sun said he was innocent? Or did Lord Sun think that the face of my royal family is irrelevant? Moreover, the emperor is the emperor, so how can you question what you say? Are you disobedient?" The last sentence of King Cheng stared at Sun Zhengsi word by word.

As soon as King Cheng said, many people agreed. Before, everyone didn't say anything, just because the emperor didn't say anything, because the emperor was really helpless and did not want to remove the general's position. Everyone was not sure. Now King Cheng said this, it is a clear idea of ​​the emperor's intention. King Cheng and the emperor are brothers. King Cheng must have made up his mind to speak like this. Moreover, these people are often angry with Li Fu. This will be an opportunity. The emperor really wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Li Fu, but he didn't want to take the blame. King Cheng said to himself again. He is really a good brother!

In fact, the reason why King Cheng did this was for himself, otherwise he would not stand up. Li Fu would fight, but he was proud of himself and did not know how to restrain himself. If he didn't suppress him now, it would not be so easy to move him after a long time. It would be very troublesome to keep him. Besides, the emperor said that he had "discussed" with them yesterday, so he just repeated the result of their "discuss". The emperor also left room for the Li family, and only demoted Li Fu's position and convicted Li Zeng for his death.

After the court came, King Cheng did not return to the palace, but went to the prison... The emperor could not keep Li Zeng for too long, and it would only take a few days to kill him. Li Fu had a purpose to bring Li Zeng up. The higher the official position of Li Zeng, the more stable Li Fu stood. Now such a good opportunity can besides Li Zeng, how could the emperor let go? Even if Li Fu has any ideas in the future, there is no one available to the Li family. The emperor is afraid of something wrong, so he will definitely not keep Li Zeng for too long, but Tie and Li Zeng are related, and Tie is what he needs. As long as Li Zeng says who is in his hands, things will be much easier.

Li Zeng was very scared in the prison. The imperial edict had just come down and he had no way to survive. But why did his uncle have no movement? His people couldn't come in and didn't know any news. The prison door was opened. Li Zeng quickly looked up and said, "He who fell into the water grabbed the branches on the shore and crawled over, "Prince, save me! Prince!" King Cheng glanced outside, and the people around him immediately retreated.

King Cheng squatted down and said, "Mr. Li, don't you know what mistake you have made? Save you, did you save?" Li Zeng lowered his head, can't save it? "What's wrong with the prince here?" King Cheng whispered, "Who is that batch of iron in his hand?" Tie! Li Zeng raised his head suddenly, why did he know about iron? Seeing that Li Zeng was stunned, King Cheng repeated again, "Who is that batch of iron in his hand?"

Li Zeng retreated in panic, "What iron, I don't know!" King Cheng frowned, "I am patient and don't have to pretend to be stupid with me. Tell me who I am in. I will pretend that it has never happened. If I don't say it, I will hand over the evidence of your latte from Jiangnan to the emperor. When Li Fu asked you to build the imperial tomb, now the iron is taken in the name of Li Fu. At that time, this matter will become a rebellion. Do you think the nine clans of the Li family are punished enough?"

Li Zeng really didn't expect that he was too stupid. He caused so much trouble for money. Now he not only took care of himself, but also might implicate his family. He can only blame himself for being too addicted to alcohol and sex, which led to so many things happening later. Son and mother, he can't let them have trouble, the child is still so young, it's unfair! Li Zeng knelt down and said, "Please let the Li family go..."

Li Zeng took the railway transport from Jiangnan to being threatened, and he only asked King Cheng to let the Li family go. King Cheng's face was not very good, "You really don't know who the other party is?" Li Zeng raised his finger and cried bitterly, "Prince, I, Li Zeng, if there is a lie, everyone in the Li family will not die well. What I said is true, you have to believe me, Prince!" King Cheng saw that he should be telling the truth and couldn't ask anything else, so he stopped staying, "Remember, you haven't seen me today, otherwise..." Prince Cheng understood that Li Zeng did not say anything, it was related to the Li family. How could he reveal this matter by himself...

Li Zeng had no hope in his eyes and lay on the cold ground. Now he seemed to be a pitiful person, and he met two wolfs that ate people and didn't spit bones. I don't know if he was too stupid or they were too smart, especially the wolf who was staring at him. He didn't even see his tail and was eaten completely.
