When Li You heard this, his head grew bigger and thought to himself: "The affairs of the court are really troublesome. It is not easy to be a foodie in peace." He said: "I understand."

He was in a bad mood and said, "Third brother, you are here just in time, so eat with me." He said, "Magpie, please give me some desserts."

Eastern Palace.

After Li Chengqian finished dinner, he was about to go to the back house to visit Princess Su and his son Li Xiang. The eunuch came in and reported that Changsun Wuji had arrived, so he went to the guest room to greet him.

When Changsun Wuji saw Li Chengqian, he said, "Please come with Master Zhang. I have something important to say."

After a while, Zhang Xuansu also came.

Changsun Wuji said: "What a big thing is going to happen. I don't know who it was, and the news from Li Jing's army leaked out. The censors wanted to impeach the King of Yiyang. The families of the Western Expedition Army will meet in front of Zhuque Gate tomorrow to denounce King Li You of Yiyang."

Li Chengqian said angrily, "This matter must have been rumored by Li Tai or Li Ke, and Li Tai is the most likely. These people are really too much, and they can also use military and national affairs to make a fuss!"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to investigate responsibility. We must find a way to solve tomorrow's troubles."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Yes, these things are on the surface for the King of Yiyang, but in fact they are targeted, Your Highness, you, Prince."

At this moment, Li Chengqian felt a little regretful and shouldn't have been too close to Li You. He thought to himself: "My fifth brother used to be a lot of trouble. His unsuspecting personality may cause much trouble in the future."

He asked, "Uncle, Master, what do you think about this?"

Changsun Wuji said: "This matter is directed at you, so you cannot retreat. You should help King Yiyang as much as possible. If King Yiyang is punished for this, it will also affect your reputation."

Zhang Xuansu was pondering there and didn't say anything for a long time.

When Changsun Wuji saw him like this, he knew that he might have other ideas, so he fell silent and pondered his countermeasures.

Finally, Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, this may be a good thing."

Li Chengqian asked, "Master, tell me."

Zhang Xuansu said: "What I mean is that let Your Highness Yiyang take the blame for this matter."

Li Chengqian said in confusion: "Isn't this right? This was Hou Junji's idea, and his father and everyone agreed at that time. How could he blame his fifth brother for his fault?"

Changsun Wuji thoughtfully and said, "Master Zhang, please tell me in detail."

Zhang Xuansu said: "The most pressure on the prince is the King of Wei and King of Shu. If they can leave Chang'an, they can avoid their threat to His Highness.

They are now adults, and they should have gone to the fiefdom and then become a vassal. However, when His Majesty was thinking about family affection, he had no such intention.

If King Yiyang can be punished this time, he will be allowed to leave Chang'an first and let King Wei and King Shu leave, there will be a sufficient reason. Even if Your Majesty is unwilling, we will contact the court officials to put pressure on Your Majesty. With the example of King Yiyang, Your Majesty will have no reason to leave them."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, with some expectation, and some hesitation. Li Ke and Li Tai pressed him step by step, and his pressure was too great. But when Li You took the blame for no reason, his conscience was still a little uneasy. He said, "I'm afraid this is not suitable, right?"

Changsun Wuji said, "Master Zhang is indeed a good idea. Your Highness, you don't have to worry about King Yiyang. He has a bad reputation in Chang'an and is generous. Staying in Chang'an is easy to cause trouble. If he can leave Chang'an, it may not be a bad thing for him.

I know that Your Highness is kind-hearted. If you can hold the position of Prince, wouldn’t it be enough to take care of King Yiyang in the future?!”

Zhang Xuansu saw that Li Chengqian was still hesitant and said, "Your Highness, those who accomplish great things are not limited to minor matters. What's more, it is really a good thing for him to leave Chang'an and stay away from right and wrong."

Li Chengqian thought about it for a moment and finally nodded.

Zhang Xuansu said: "The Queen needs the help of this matter. After all, His Highness the Queen is also the Queen's biological flesh and blood, so I'm afraid there will be an obstacle in her place."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is a bit difficult. However, the Empress is a sensible person. In order to avoid the tragedy of her flesh and blood, she will figure it out. I will do her job in person."

Zhang Xuansu said: "That's it, King Yiyang was impeached. His Royal Highness came out to make a gesture and pretended to protect him. We secretly contributed to the fire and forced King Yiyang to leave Chang'an."

"Okay, just do that." Changsun Wuji said.

Shu King's Mansion.

King Li Ke of Shu said: "I don't know who leaked the news, and it was a rumor in Chang'an City. Now, the fifth brother is probably in trouble."

Chief Shi Quan Wanji said: "Your Highness, you don't need to guess this matter. It must be the problem with Your Highness King Wei. However, this is also an opportunity. You can also see the steamed buns in the court last time. Your Highness King Yiyang is now close to Your Highness Prince and has become his helper. If you can use Tuyuhun to attack Your Highness Prince, it will be equivalent to attacking Your Highness Prince."

Li Ke is a decisive person. He said, "Okay, let's help the fire and target King Yiyang."

Quan Wanji said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will inform our people now."

Wei Prince's Mansion.

King Li Tai of Wei was a little puzzled. Although he hated Li You, Li Shimin repeatedly emphasized that Tuyuhun's affairs should be kept secret, and he really dared not disclose them. If it causes turmoil in the court and the country, Li Shimin will pursue it, it is not a joke.

He asked, "You guys, who leaked the news?"

The Chief Secretary Wang Cong said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Yiyang should not be there, and the possibility of others is very small. The biggest possibility is Your Highness the King of Shu. After all, in order to attack Your Highness the Crown Prince, he should do this."

Yan Liben said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to discuss who leaks the news. What are you going to do when you come to the court tomorrow?"

Li Tai said: "This is a good opportunity. Since the King of Shu wants to do this, let's push it and see how the prince deals with it."

Yan Liben nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I will contact the minister tonight. It's better for you to arrange the censors. It's better for them to come forward first."

Li You knew there would be trouble tomorrow, but he didn't know that the storm would be so violent. He was so heartbroken that he ate some sweets and went to bed.

Besides, Cheng Chuliang and others followed the route of Hou Junji's army day and night. The next morning, they saw several Tang army messengers running from afar.

When the messenger saw Cheng Chuliang, he shouted loudly from afar: "Person Cheng, you have a great victory!"

Cheng Chuliang was delighted and rode a horse to meet him.

The messenger was exhausted, but his face was full of excitement. He gasped and said, "Person Cheng, go and report to the general, you will be a great victory!"
