Records of the King of Xin'an County

On the second day, Li Hui and Princess Changning presented all the evidence to the elders, taking advantage of the banquet held by the Duke of Wu's mansion.These elders are all close and trustworthy people, such as Princess Pu Yan, Princess Linchuan, Princess Qinghe, Duke Qin An of Wu, son-in-law Qin Shen and his son.As for people like King Pu Li Tai and son-in-law Zhou Ziwu, they are obviously not suitable for discussing such important confidential matters.At the same time, King Jing and King Yong'an are not suitable for contacting under the eyes of King Hejian.

Compared with the cautious female family members and Qin Shen who was deep in thought, Qin An obviously trusted the testimony of the younger generation.Even though he only met Hejian County King twice during the New Year's Eve banquet and the court meeting, he could see a lot of doubts about him with his old-fashioned eyes.So, after hearing that the Prince of Hejian had brought his son to the banquet, he asked Qin Shen and Qin Cheng to bring the rumored "rebellious king" to him so that he could take a closer look.

Half an hour later, the chubby old man returned to the flower hall where everyone was sitting, with a slightly grave expression on his face: "The one who came today must be a fake king."

Li Hui and Wang Zixian looked at each other, and exchanged their views wordlessly: that time in King Jing's mansion, the fake king didn't seem to show many flaws, but King Jing, as his "ally", did see some flaws. No, I have remained silent all the time; today is another test for the King of Hejian County, using the mansion of Duke Wu, Princess Qinghe, and son-in-law Qin Shen to test the ability of the fake king.

However, after all the calculations, the Hejian County King may not have expected that Qin An, the Duke of Wu who has been complaining about illness, made an exception to meet the fake king.Even though the fake king has few flaws and is very decent in dealing with it, he is unavoidably uneasy at this moment, lest Qin An have doubts.Of course, an old fox like Qin An would not startle him, but after talking to him in general, he pretended to be unwell and asked him to leave.The false king saw that there was no abnormality around him, Qin Shen and Qin Cheng had been entertaining guests, Fang slowly felt at ease.

"The old man will write a note to the saint immediately, and you will take it into the palace." After pondering for a moment, Qin Andao said, "Before the Shangyuan Festival, no matter when the saint summons, the king of Hejian County must not have the guts to ask the fake king to replace him." He entered the palace. It is impossible for a sage to judge the existence of a false king with his own eyes. Without a suitable title, he cannot openly search the Hejian County Prince's Mansion. Even if it is a search, nothing can be found. After all, the false king is very likely to be him A bodyguard or part of the body."

"Granduncle thinks, does uncle believe our judgment?" Li Hui asked solemnly.

"It's better to believe in something than in nothing." Qin An glanced at the people present, "It's not necessary to enter the palace in a mighty way, only three or four people are enough, otherwise it will inevitably lead to unnecessary speculation. You, Wang Dalang, and then Yue Niang and San Niang (Princess Qinghe). After the banquet is over, let's go immediately. We can feel at ease if we arrange it earlier."

Since the elders have made such an arrangement, Yan Shi and Princess Linchuan naturally obeyed.It would indeed be inappropriate for them to interfere too much in this matter.Princess Qinghe and the sage are not only descended from Empress Qin, but they are also close in age. They grew up together since they were young, and their love for each other is slightly higher than that of other brothers and sisters, so they are very different.Not to mention that she married into the Qin family, and the son-in-law is also the confidant of the saint.

But Li Hui realized that what Qin An said might not be just the suspicion of the King of Hejian, and couldn't help but shudder slightly.Xu Shi's recent days have been so smooth that he almost forgot that the elder who is not really gentle in the Tai Chi Palace is by any means.If you want your elders to always treat each other with kindness, naturally you cannot cross some sensitive boundaries at will.

In the evening, the banquet at Duke Wu's mansion was about to end. Li Hui and Wang Zixian escorted Princess Changning's chariot to Miyagi.These days, almost every day.After all, Princess Yong'an is still young, no matter how lively the banquet is, it is impossible to stay in the banquet hall for a long time.It's just that besides her brothers and sisters, the person who escorted her back to the palace today was Wang Buque.Of course, no one knows that the three noble masters are sitting in Yandi's car at this moment.

A group of people came to Anren Hall to meet Empress Du, and Li Hui explained the true and false King Hejian.Empress Du vaguely heard a few words from Princess Changning, so she was not very surprised at the moment.She looked at the young and handsome Wang Buque with admiration. Who would not be delighted by such an outstanding young man?

"Fortunately, Wang Langjun was keen and found the clues of the fake king. This matter is of great importance, and it should be handled by the saint." After finishing speaking, she ordered people to invite the saint to the Ganlu Hall.However, before Shang Gong, who had delivered the message, bowed and walked in, some palace servants said that the holy chariot had arrived.Not long after, the sage walked into the Anren Hall wearing a heavy fur coat, his face was a little pale, revealing a deep tiredness.

"Sister is here?" He seemed a little surprised to see so many people in Anren Hall at this time.After suppressing everyone's worries about his dragon's health, he said slowly: "It's just that I was a little bit cold and didn't sleep well at night. I wanted to see Yue Niang and Wan Niang, but I didn't want you to be there too. .It is the New Year's Eve now, if there is no important event, my sister will definitely not enter the palace at this time. After all... But what happened during today's banquet?"

Princess Qinghe still had a bit of worry in her eyebrows, and she no longer mentioned the matter of asking her elder brother to take care of the dragon body, but directly took out the note written by Wu Guogong from her sleeve: "Ah Weng, take the note I presented, brother and Let's see."

The saint browsed carefully, his eyes shrank suddenly, and then his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but his expression seemed to be still calm.After reading it, he covered the scroll and pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Hui and the prince and said: "Uncle mentioned in the booklet that it was Wang Aiqing who first discovered the traces of the fake king, and then Xuan Qi, Yue Niang, Jing Xing and other people searched for it. All kinds of evidence?"

"Yes." Li Hui and the prince bowed their heads in salute.

"You guys will tell me the story carefully." The saint said indifferently, "I have never heard of such a person who deceives the king and his superiors." As he said, his eyes were slightly cold: "Fortunately, he has not yet been so bold as to use a fake king." Come and deal with me, otherwise..." The lingering sound was full of meaning.

Wang Zixian then explained the doubts he discovered on the day he welcomed King Hejian back to Beijing and in the following days.Of course, the key point is that he is not a prophet, and he has just seen the false king and the real king, so he has doubts.And these doubts have been verified one by one during the banquets in the past few days, which shows that his concerns are not false.

Li Hui described the items listed by the little ladies.I don't mention how they found out by means, but only use their own experience to explain clearly.As for details such as accent and intonation, it was pushed to Mr. Song and Wang Zixian who had traveled around.Those items based on feeling alone were pushed to Li Jing - of course, the king of Tianshui County may not be willing to accept these credits that even he doesn't believe.

"After he entered Beijing, I thought he had come to his senses, and he would no longer be delusional. Unexpectedly, I just tried it out, and he was so guilty." The saint frowned slightly, "It can be seen that this person must have evil intentions in his heart. Will be so afraid of returning to the capital, so afraid of me. Although the evidence of his rebellion is still insufficient, if the false king is caught, everything is complete, which is enough to convict him of treason."

"It's not easy to catch a fake king." Li Hui replied, "If you suddenly attack, it will give the real king or the remnants of Shengzhou an excuse to raise troops. Moreover, the fake king will appear alone only when the real king leaves the capital. Then Even if the fake king is captured, it doesn't make much sense. The Hejian County King doesn't even care about the life of his eldest son Li Ren, so naturally he doesn't care about a mere fake king. Maybe he will take the initiative to use their lives to survive. thing."

"Then... Xuan Qi has a way to break the situation?" the saint asked.

Li Hui naturally has a strategy to break the situation-he and Wang Zixian have not been entangled in the existence of the real king and the fake king these days, but have carefully deduced various countermeasures several times before coming up with the most suitable method.However, the matter of offering advice cannot be done by him, but should be handed over to the prince to accumulate credit.

So, he could only frown and pretend to be in trouble: "I haven't had time to think about it, I always feel that if I want to get rid of Hejian County King before the Shangyuan Festival, I don't have enough time to arrange it."

"Where's Wang Aiqing?" the saint asked again.

Wang Zixian said calmly: "I suspect that there may be a solution in Wu Guogong's papers. However, just now, I suddenly thought of a plan and boldly dedicated it to the saint." He paused, as if he was smoothing out his own ideas. This kind of thought and thought, and then continued: "Since the king of Hejian County intends to let the fake king replace him, why not do what he wants? Get rid of him secretly while he escapes from the capital, and send the fake king back to Shengzhou?"

"He died on the way back to Shengzhou, and there was no body left. The fake king stayed in the capital in a good manner, and returned in an open and honest manner. When the time comes, even if Shengzhou finds out that the fake king is not the king of Hejian County, he will not be able to accept it." Don't swallow this bitter pill. After all, the fake king is safe and sound in the capital, and he is dressed up and down. He is under the eyes of many people all the time, and he knows the king of Hejian very well. If it wasn't for the intention of the king of Hejian, how could he appear? Fake king Li Daitao stiff? If they want to track down the real and fake king, they will commit the crime of deceiving the king."

"If you don't investigate, the fake king will definitely not be able to control the situation in Shengzhou; if you investigate, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. It depends on how they choose, and whether they will 'wake up' for their own lives. Of course, if they dare It is impossible to win the trust of the people of the world by turning right and wrong into black and white, and in the end it is just a sinner who has no name to teach. A soldier who loses his commander is nothing but a state of disunity."

The sage looked at him, and suddenly laughed: "You and uncle are heroes who see the same thing!"

Wang Zixian said he didn't dare, and the saint said with some emotion: "I have long felt that it is good to keep you by my side, but a mere post to make up for a deficiency cannot allow you to display your talents. With such an outstanding plan, it is good to have you again." It is also right to leapfrog to rank. Tell me, where do you want to go?"

It is naturally impossible for Wang Zixian to "be proud of his favor": "The king's kindness is mighty, but the humble minister is placed by the sage."

The saint smiled with satisfaction: "When this matter is over, I will definitely give you a good place to go."
