In the next few days, His Majesty Li Er stayed in the Lishan Palace and stopped correcting even the memorials.

News even spread in Chang'an City that His Majesty Li Er was critically ill.

After all, for several days, the palace doctors were invited to the Lishan Palace, which inevitably led to speculation.

It was already dark, and the dark night enveloped the earth.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the Lishan Palace, which seemed a little dim.

His Majesty Li Er was lying on the soft floor, motionless, as if he was seriously ill and bedridden.

Li Junxian announced outside the door, then faintly heard a soft "hmm", and then quietly walked into the palace.

But he saw His Majesty Li Er sitting on the bed at this time.

After Li Junxian bowed, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, those monks have been acting normally these past few days, staying in the alchemy room and refining elixirs as usual."

"However, at 11:11 tonight, a monk secretly went out. His subordinates asked Baiqi to follow him. This man came back quickly after meeting a servant of the Han Dynasty and did not come into contact with anyone else."

"Li Yuanchang, King of Han?"

His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was expected.

This seventh brother is so well hidden!

Ever since Li Yuanchang was asked to return to Chang'an City from his fiefdom to reflect, this guy has been living in seclusion. He thought he had realized his mistake, but he didn't know that these monks would get involved with him.

It seems that this seventh brother has a big plan!

In fact, the strategy of luring the snake out of its hole was proposed by Yang Fan a few days ago.

In Yang Fan's view, since these monks took so long to plot against His Majesty Li Er, there must be a pusher behind them.

So His Majesty Li Er was asked to increase the dosage of the "edible" elixir, which made the monk really think that His Majesty Li Er was terminally ill, thus making the people behind the scenes relax their vigilance.

As expected, these people showed their flaws so quickly, obviously thinking that Li Er, the emperor, was about to die.

Originally, with Li Er's character, it was impossible to completely trust someone. After all, it was easy for problems to arise.

If Yang Fan wants to deal with his opponent, then Li Er is likely to be exploited.

The reason why he trusted Yang Fan's strategy so much was, on the one hand, Li Er's trust in his control, and on the other hand, it was also because of Yang Fan's political wisdom.

Although Yang Fan is usually very impulsive, he has never participated in the struggle between the DPRK and China for the reserve and taking sides.

Even when facing him as the emperor, he often dares to contradict him, and he is a guy who doesn't take matters into his own hands. It is impossible for such a person to set up a trap just to flatter his opponent.

The most important thing is that Yang Fan neither gets too close to a certain prince nor does he deliberately make friends with the royal family. He knows how to avoid suspicion.

This is also what makes His Majesty Li Er very satisfied with Yang Fan.

Since as a minister, you have to take care of things that you should take care of, and stay away from things that you shouldn't take care of.

The throne belongs to the emperor. Whoever the emperor wants to give it to is decided by the emperor. Ministers can make suggestions, but ministers must not take sides. This is the bottom line.

Yang Fan has done very well in this regard, which is why Yang Fan has Li Er's trust.

Because he knew that the person who wanted to deal with Li Er this time must be a member of the royal family.

Because when he, the emperor, died, only a member of the royal family could ascend to the throne.

Only this kind of person would deliberately plot against his emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, Li Junxian couldn't help but said again: "Your Majesty, since Li Taishi saw anomalies in the celestial phenomena and found out the person behind the scenes based on Wannian County Duke's calculations, then Wei Chen suggested that we should advance

Take action and arrest the relevant persons for questioning?"

"In addition, the current rumors about His Majesty have shaken the entire court. Your Majesty should return to the palace as soon as possible to stabilize the court situation. Moreover, the lack of guards here cannot guarantee His Majesty's safety."

As the emperor's spy chief, Li Junxian certainly knew what Li Chunfeng said.

What's more important is that Li Er was "poisoned" and he, the leader of the imperial guard, didn't notice it. Now that there is progress, of course he must nip it in the bud.

As for whether he would wrongfully accuse others, that was not his concern.

In Li Junxian's view, the emperor had stayed in the Lishan Palace for so long, and it was time for him to return to the palace to take charge of the overall situation.

To be on the safe side, the only way to be safe is to return to the palace.

The Lishan Palace's guard force was not very strong to begin with, and now that Li Chunfeng had guessed that the celestial phenomenon was a warning, he couldn't take the risk himself.

In the dim light, His Majesty Li Er's majestic face could not be seen clearly.

However, His Majesty Li Er felt very complicated.

"Haha, if I just go back like this, wouldn't I disappoint a lot of people? I don't believe that my seventh brother alone would dare to do such a bold thing."

Li Junxian was very anxious and tried his best to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, it is too dangerous to stay here. If anything happens, it would be a shame to die. But if your majesty's body of ten thousand gold is damaged, everything will be in danger."

It’s his fault.”

He couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking. He knew that someone was trying to figure him out, but he still preferred to travel to the mountains. What did this mean?

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, interrupted Li Junxian's words, and said with a confident smile: "I came out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. I don't need to pay attention to a few clowns. The ones I am least afraid of are those

A real fight with real swords and guns."

After a pause, Li Er sighed quietly: "There is Xuan Ling in the court, and the auxiliary machine is watching. I believe there won't be any big trouble."

"What I am most afraid of now are those people who are standing around me and hiding in the dark. If these people are not discovered, they will think of doing this to me at any time in the future."

"It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. If I don't give these people a chance, how can they dare to jump out openly?"

"If they don't take action first, if I arrest them now, the most I can do is scold them, which is obviously insignificant."

"What's more, I have been too kind over the years, which makes many people think that I am getting old. In this case, let me see who are my ministers and how many people think of me as brothers and sisters.

, the love of flesh and blood.”

Hearing this, Li Junxian suddenly felt horrified!

Listening to His Majesty Li Er's tone, is it possible that he really wants to rectify the court?

Now the royal family is involved. If it is not handled well, the Xuanwu Gate incident more than ten years ago will happen again?

Swallowing hard, Li Junxian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But he knew that no amount of persuasion could change the emperor's mind.

As the emperor's spy chief, this is not a good job!

If the emperor was really injured at all, he, the leader of a hundred cavalry, would have to move his head.

It seems that Yang Fan can only be found to admonish the emperor!

Soon, Li Junxian informed Yang Fan of His Majesty Li Er's decision.

Yang Fan has been staying in Princess Changle's Lishan Palace these days. After hearing the news, Yang Fan anxiously asked to see His Majesty Li Er.

Li Er actually wanted to risk his life to catch all those people. This guy is simply too conceited!

If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem.

Yang Fan still agreed with Li Chunfeng's technique of observing the sky.

Since the sky shows that the purple star is dim, although I don’t want to believe in superstition, I still have to be in awe of such mysterious and mysterious things.

Yang Fan hurried to Li Er's palace. He may have been lying in bed for several days, but His Majesty Li Er was not lying on the bed.

It's just that the number of guards outside the palace has increased a lot. Without Li Junxian's permission, ordinary people can't enter at all.

Already a little anxious, when he saw Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth and asked: "You brought little Sizi to Lishan, why didn't you accompany her here?"

It can be said that Yang Fan has been having a hard time these days, because with Xiao Sizi as a dragster, Changle and Princess Gaoyang sleep together all day long, and it is impossible for Yang Fan to steal anything.

I originally wanted to take advantage of this trip to Lishan to capture Princess Changle, but it seems that it will be ruined!

Although he was very depressed, Yang Fan still stood respectfully in front of His Majesty Li Er. He was not as casual as before, but said seriously: "Your Majesty, I asked you to pretend to be sick just to paralyze your opponents and let them show their weaknesses.

, Now that we have found the people behind the scenes, why not take them down immediately for interrogation, and why do we still risk our lives?"

His Majesty Li Er was reading a book and drinking tea, without raising his head, and said: "I already have a plan. You just got married, so don't worry about it!"

"Go and spend more time with the beauties. When you go to Jiangnan after the New Year, you may not be able to see them for a long time."

Hearing this, Yang Fan stood still, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Yang Fan was motionless, His Majesty Li Er raised his head and asked, "What else do you have to do? If you have nothing to do, just step back. I still have many things to deal with."

With that said, he picked up the information on the table and read it.

After a long while, he raised his head again and saw that Yang Fan had not left yet. He had a headache and rubbed his swollen temples. This bastard is really screwed up!

He had no choice but to say again: "Don't worry, kid. I have experienced many battles. How can I be afraid of those clowns?"

"It would be best if they all jumped out together. It will serve as a warning to others, so that you can show off your skills in Jiangnan and prevent those aristocratic families from blatantly obstructing you."

Yang Fan ignored the emperor's "kind intention", straightened his back slightly, and looked at His Majesty Li Er without fear.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask a question. Could you please answer it truthfully?"

When he said this, the usual lazy and indifferent expression on Yang Fan's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

Li Er is really not used to Yang Fan being so serious. How does this look like a lawless mallet?
