The capital Luoyang, the East Palace.

Although it was already cold outside and the north wind was howling, the study where the prince was located was as warm as spring. He was very comfortable with just a light robe, but his heart was hard to say at this moment. However, he could not say that he was completely uncomfortable, he could only say that he was mixed with joy and sorrow.

Because just the day before yesterday, another incident occurred in the court. Li Ling, who should have been away from the court, returned to his hometown, suddenly became troubled again. He actually sent a group of people from the Imperial City Department to escort back to Beijing. The reasons for the matter between the Ministry of Justice were completely revealed. It was Wei Tianying, the chief of the Imperial City Department, who sent his subordinates to chase Li Ling for some reason, and colluded with local officers and soldiers to attack Qingshan County...

It would be fine if you attacked, but you also lost your hand. Not only did you throw your life into Qingshan County, but you also trapped your subordinates in the hands of Li Ling, and asked them to explain everything clearly. They sent back to the capital with their witnesses and confessions, causing a lot of storm in the court.

Although Li Ling did have many enemies in the court, in this matter, even the prince's side was not easy to be enemies with him anymore, because he was still a person within the court system, while the Imperial City Department was a person outside the system and an existence that all civil officials must suppress and contain. Especially in the past two years, the power of the Imperial City Department has continued to expand, which has posed a significant threat to the civil servant group and has become a thorn in everyone's side.

Therefore, Li Ling's lawsuit this time naturally won the support of countless court officials. Just like the previous impeachment of Li Ling and perhaps colluding with Li Tong, they also began to impeach many illegal acts of the Imperial City Department in large quantities, which was very stance to let the emperor directly ban the Imperial City Department.

As for the initiator Wei Tianying, he was regarded as a great sinner who forged edicts and deceived the emperor. Killing him alone was not enough. Everyone was calling for the destruction of his tribes to serve as a warning. Now, everyone has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, just waiting for the emperor to finally give a plan.

Prince Sun Cong was naturally very uncomfortable about Li Ling's escape again, which was completely different from his original idea. However, some deeper inside stories hidden behind this incident made him feel happy because he had known that King Yong was instructed by Wei Tianying. This time, Li Ling sent the person to Luoyang and sued Wei Tianying, and also sent a secret message to the palace. The content of the prince was also known at this time - he was really bold and dragged King Yong down!

Although King Yong has not been implicated yet, he believes that the prince’s understanding of his father will not take long before King Yong will be completely finished. After all, this time he violated the taboo in his father’s mind, and it was two.

First, he actually reached his hand inside the Imperial City Division. This was a confidant cultivated by the emperor himself and an existence that no force could be involved. But King Yong was so lucky that he actually colluded with senior executives of the Imperial City Division like Wei Tianying, and could also instruct him to help him get rid of Li Ling. This was completely touching the emperor's rebellious scale.

Secondly, in order to get rid of Li Ling, they used local officers and soldiers, a vassal king and a member of the Imperial City Department, and they actually colluded with local soldiers! What are they going to do? Are they trying to usurp the throne of a certain dynasty?

Even Sun Cong, as the prince, was cautious in this matter. After using the Northern Frontier soldiers and generals with a knife to kill, he tried his best to cover up, and even bowed his head to Li Ling to cover up the truth on the surface. But this time, King Yong and Imperial City did not have such a good opportunity. The matter has been completely exposed. At least the emperor knew everything at this time, so their result would be very good.

Wei Tianying will die. As for King Yong, even if the emperor likes this son and loves him again, he will never be able to protect him this time. I am afraid that his title will be lost, and even if he is not executed, it will be difficult to turn over again. Even if he is alive, it is no different from dying.

When the prince thought of this result, he felt a little emotional in his heart.

Once upon a time, King Yong was his biggest opponent, and he was even suppressed by him, making him have to compromise and endure it. As a result, in just a few years, he had reached the end, but he was still the crown prince... All of this was related to Li Ling, and it was the dead end that he personally sent King Yong into!

No, it’s not only Li Ling, but also Mr. Mo around him. In fact, wasn’t that case successful at that time just under the guidance and planning of Mr. Mo?

The only regret is that this time he wanted to use the sword of Yong Wang to get rid of Li Ling, but in the end, Li Ling turned off the horse of Yong Wang. In this way, his determination to kill Li Ling could only continue.

This is the problem that makes the prince feel a little uncomfortable while feeling happy. After all, Li Ling, whom he had long said he wanted to get rid of, was still alive even though he was dismissed from office.

The knock on the door made the prince come out of his thoughts and said, "Come in."

It was indeed Mr. Mo who came in. After he saluted, the prince did not go around in any circle and said directly: "You should know everything about the Imperial City Department, right?"

"Yes, I have heard of it..." Mr. Mo looked at the prince carefully. He also knew why the prince had stopped his plan for Li Ling before, because he wanted to use a knife to kill people and stayed out of the matter, and felt that King Yong could eliminate Li Ling, who had lost his official position.

But the result was beyond their expectations. Li Ling was safe and sound. However, the people from the Imperial City Department not only failed, but also brought his boss in.

The prince nodded: "Can you still do the thing you mentioned before?"

"The prince is talking about those plans to deal with Li Ling?"

"Yes. I said I wanted Li Ling to pay it back with my life!" The prince's eyes were filled with hatred. He still remembered the death of the Shen brothers.

Mr. Mo smiled bitterly in his heart. He had already made all arrangements. As long as he followed the plan, he was 70% or 80% sure to put Li Ling to death and even confiscated his family. As a result, a sudden outbreak of storm occurred in the court. Li Ling was implicated and returned to his hometown. Then the prince urgently stopped everything, which made him finally stop the move he was about to take.

Then now, the other party brought up the old thing again. It was really a person who opened his mouth and broke his legs. But there was no way. Who said he was the prince and he was just an assistant to listen to him? So after pondering, he could only nod: "The previous plan could naturally be used again, but Your Highness, there is still some problem with this."

"What's the problem?" The prince frowned. He obviously didn't say this before.

"I took this plan to start with people who had a very close relationship with Li Ling. At that time, he was in the capital. Even if something happened to them, it would be too late. We could even make some noise in the capital, making him unable to escape. But now, it is different. He has returned to Jiangcheng County. In this way, if something happens there, he might be able to deal with it, and the calculations are much less."

"Is there any such incident?" The prince's brows tighter. He was about to ask if there were any other better plans, but he heard the other party say again: "But there is also an advantage in this way. He can't get involved in the arrangements on the other side. Maybe he won't know why he died in the end."

The prince obviously knew the general idea of ​​this plan. After thinking about it carefully, he laughed: "Yes, he has gone back to Huaibei now, so it is natural that he cannot grasp more situations... Then follow your previous plan. This time I will kill him and cannot let him escape."

"I understand, I'll make arrangements now!" Even though there are omissions in this matter, which is inconsistent with my always-prepared habits, at this time, Mr. Mo could only follow the arrangements. After all, such a plan cannot be thought of casually, and arrangements in various aspects took a lot of time and effort. If there is a problem at this time, it would be better than a general strategy.

...

The Ministry of Justice Heavenly Prison.

Compared with the Prince's East Palace, the environment here is the difference between heaven and hell.

It was cold, damp, and smelly, and there was not even a quilt to keep warm. Wei Tianying was imprisoned in such a harsh cell. His whole body's energy was almost exhausted, and he was a little stunned.

It was not until the old man in front of him called him three times that he reacted a little. After focusing his blank eyes for a while, he recognized the old eunuch who stood in front of the prison gate and looked a little blue, his immediate boss, Wei Tang and Eunuch Wei!

This finally made Wei Tianying respond in action. He quickly climbed to the door and shouted at Wei Tang: "Eunuch Wei saves me, I am humble, I am wronged..."

After he called for wrongful accusations twice, Wei Tang said coldly: "You are really wrongful. Look at me and reply."

When Wei Eunuch Wei's cold eyes were stared at, Wei Tianying's body trembled, but the word "unfair" to his lips could not be expressed: "I am humble..."

"I came to ask you a question according to His Majesty's will." Wei Tang quickly withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "You have to think about it and answer it, otherwise it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor. Why do you do such a crazy thing?"

Wei Tianying's whole body trembled violently. From the other party's words, he could already guess what he was going to be. Now, what people care more about is the identity of the person behind him. Of course, he could choose to take things with all his strength, but the problem is, can he really bear it with this small body?

I thought the Imperial City Command was extremely powerful and I was not afraid of anyone in the court. Until today I realized that all my power was castles in the air, sand sculptures by the sea, a gust of wind and a wave, and it could be completely destroyed.

This time, I will die, even if the family is afraid... As for him, he is unable to protect himself now, can he still protect his family?

This thought only flashed in his mind, and he chose to answer truthfully: "When you say that, it is... His Highness Yong asked me to help deal with Li Ling..."
