Li Zhi was so angry that he almost lost his breath. Wu Mei stroked his back repeatedly and shouted coldly: "Li Chong, you said that the prince is not suitable to be the emperor, then who is suitable to be the emperor?"
King Langya said proudly: "No matter which of your Highnesses, they are better than His Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince pointed at King Langya and said angrily: "You...you..."
Wu Chengsi watched coldly, taking in the expressions of everyone in the palace one by one, and thought to himself: "King Langya is indeed well prepared. He has even thought about what to do if the plan fails. Now that he has said these words, it is extremely shocking. It has damaged the prince’s status in the hearts of the ministers.”
Wu Mei was worried that King Langya would say something else and hurt Li Zhi's body. She waved her hand and said, "Someone, take King Langya to the sky prison."
A group of Thousand Niu Guards entered the hall and took King Langya down.
The kings of the Li family looked at the back of King Langya with complicated expressions.
Wu Mei wanted to ease the atmosphere and said to Wu Chengsi: "Chengsi, what happened to Li Yunxian's immortal energy just now? Please explain it to everyone."
Wu Chengsi responded with his hand and said with a smile: "This matter actually starts from the Piao Kingdom. In the Piao Kingdom in the south, there is a tribe named Zhubo tribe. There is a sacred drum in this tribe."
Li Ji looked at the drum in Wu Chengsi's hand and asked, "Is this the divine drum?"
"Yes, it is this drum. This drum is made of a certain material from a kind of Gu. The name of the Gu is the Blood-winged Clam. It is the king of all Gus. Any Gu that hears its sound will He died immediately. And people from the Piao Kingdom told me that Li Yunxian had been looking for a special kind of Gu insect called the fog rock insect during his several years in the Piao Kingdom."
"I understand, the fog on Li Yunxian's body is caused by the fog rock insect." Han King Li Yuanjia heard that the Gu insect's name contained fog, and he immediately shouted.
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "The fog rock insect only has a lifespan of two hours. When it dies, it will release heat and turn its body into mist. After Li Yunxian obtained the fog rock insect, just before it died, he used the locals' secret method to put it into a deep sleep. , enter a state of suspended animation."
King Han clapped his hands and said: "So just now King Langya secretly knocked on the divine drum, and the fog rock insect in the demon's body died, and the mist formed by the body seeped out from the mouth and nose, and then the mist was formed!"
"That's it." Wu Chengsi replied, taking out a small white pill and explaining:
"This is a pill I found at the Fire Phoenix Society stronghold. There is a dormant fog rock insect in the pill. As long as you take it and hear the sound of the divine drum again, you will end up like Li Yunxian."
King Han shouted: "Wonderful! Fortunately, this demon can come up with such a method!"
"How did the demon die?" Li Zhi asked.
Wu Chengsi replied: "The high temperature produced by the fog rock bug can burn all the internal organs of a person. It is said that this method of death is very painful."
Having said this, he looked at Li Yunxian. Although this person had evil intentions, he could endure such great pain without changing his expression, which made people feel a little respect.
Zong Chuke suddenly said: "Cousin, Li Yunxian once predicted the death time of three civilians, and it all came true in the end. How did he do it?"
Wu Chengsi said: "It's very simple. The three deceased people were all believers of the Huofeng Society. Their moral values are the stronghold of the Huofeng Society in Chang'an."
Li Zhi said angrily: "There is actually a rebel den in the capital. Someone is coming..."
Wu Chengsi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my nephew has led the people of Dali Temple to destroy morality, and all the rebels have been imprisoned in Dali Temple."
Li Zhi's expression softened a little, and after a while, he asked, "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"
A man stood up in the corner and hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "I'm here." It was Zhang Chang, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Li Zhi scolded: "As the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture and the prime minister of Chang'an affairs, now you have allowed the rebel den to be built at my feet. What crime should you do?"
"...I am guilty." Zhang Chang secretly smiled bitterly. Usually when something like this happens, he, Jing Zhaoyin, is the most likely to take the blame.
Wu Chengsi said: "Your Majesty, Huofeng Society has colluded with Langya King Li Chong. With Li Chong's power, it will not be difficult for Huofeng Society to build a Taoist temple in the middle of the capital. Zhang Fuyin cannot be blamed for this."
Li Zhi thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Since Duke Zhou has interceded for you, I will be exempted from the blame this time. If there is a next time, I will never be lenient!"
Zhang Chang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He glanced at Wu Chengsi gratefully and returned to his seat to sit down.
Because of Li Yunxian's incident, the palace night banquet lost its previous atmosphere. Li Zhi left the banquet early and returned to the harem, and Wu Mei also left with him.
The prince was in despair, King Pei looked gloomy, and the other kings surnamed Li had their own concerns.
Some high-ranking officials looked worried, suspecting that King Langya was not alone behind this incident, such as Liu Rengui, Li Ji and others.
They wanted to ask Wu Chengsi, but after all, this was not the place to talk.
After finally waiting until the night banquet was over, after leaving the Linde Hall, Liu Rengui, Li Ji and Su Dingfang pulled Wu Chengsi to a corner.
Li Jingxuan originally wanted to ask, but his relationship with them was not that good after all, so he did not follow them.
"Master Wu, who is the person behind this? I don't believe that a Langya King can cause such a big stir!" Liu Rengui said in a deep voice.
Wu Chengsi sighed: "I also believe that there are people behind King Langya, but the people behind the scenes did not have any involvement in this matter. It was all manipulated by King Langya. I don't have any evidence."
Li Ji narrowed his eyes and said: "This guy has such a powerful method. He can plan such a thing without leaving any loopholes. I underestimated him before."
Su Dingfang snorted coldly: "And after the defeat, his expression didn't show any abnormality, which shows the depth of his scheming."
Liu Rengui let out a long sigh and said: "After today's incident, the prince should also understand who is behind the scenes. It will be difficult for the court to regain peace in the future."
Su Dingfang said indifferently: "Stability is not necessarily a good thing. Before the late emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the court was more turbulent than it is now. But after he ascended the throne, didn't he rule a prosperous age?"
Liu Rengui shook his head, cupped his hands, and left slowly, his waist hunched and his back looking a little desolate.
When Su Dingfang saw Princess Taiping waiting for Wu Chengsi, he pulled Li Ji to leave. Li Ji asked: "Chengsi, please take time to come to my house tomorrow." Wu Chengsi nodded and agreed.
After the two left, Princess Taiping came over, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "Second cousin, you are too bad, you let the dog ascend, you didn't see it, King Pei and Langya
Wang’s expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.”
Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and said, "Why did you mention King Pei?"
Princess Taiping hummed: "Do you think I'm stupid? King Langya's words are false at first sight."
"How can I see it?"
"If he really wanted to deal with the prince, why didn't he do it earlier or later? Why did he have to wait until King Pei started fighting for the throne before he dealt with the prince?"
Wu Chengsi nodded slightly, even Princess Taiping could think of this, and it is estimated that many others have thought of this.
Princess Taiping came closer and whispered: "Second cousin, is he really King Pei?"
Wu Chengsi nodded imperceptibly.
Princess Taiping was silent for a while and asked: "Then which royal brother do you support?"
"I am only loyal to Your Majesty and my aunt." Wu Chengsi said leisurely.
Princess Taiping said angrily: "How cunning, do you even want to hide it from others?"
Wu Chengsi said sternly: "What I said is true. Your Majesty is currently at the peak of his power. If I rashly get involved, it will only increase the country's internal strife. Let Your Majesty decide on this matter."
Princess Taiping nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll stay out of it."
After this incident, the prince will definitely hate King Pei to the core, and the fight between the two sides will enter a more intense stage. As long as Li Zhi cannot deal with one person decisively, the situation in the court will probably get out of control.
The two of them fought, and Wu Chengsi could stay away from other things and concentrate on leading troops in battles and accumulating strength.
The barrel of a gun is the most important at all times. As long as his strength in the army becomes stronger and stronger, he will be able to be at peace no matter what happens in the future.
