Liu Zhiyuan was confused and asked, "Sir, what happened?" Shi Jingtang put down the teacup, got up and walked around the room for a few times, and then said, "Zhiyuan, do you really know or not?" Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. Shi Jingtang glanced at him with a serious look and said, "It's going to be a big mess. Recently, the court had already made peace with the Khitan and was preparing to ced Daizhou. Once this matter was announced, it would cause chaos in the world." Liu Zhiyuan knew this and pretended to be surprised and said, "There is this thing, and this thing is!"

Shi Jingtang glanced at him and said, "At this time, don't make any trouble with me. I heard that your brother Le Yuan wrote you a secret letter?" Liu Zhiyuan was extremely anxious. He didn't know how Shi Jingtang knew about these things. Seeing that he was still looking at him, he took a deep breath, and sat there silently. Shi Jingtang closed the door and whispered: "Zhiyuan, this matter was of great importance, but since you came today, I will tell you clearly.

The court is preparing to encircle and annihilate the troops in the Central Plains in the past two days, and does not want another chaos in Daizhou. Unexpectedly, Le Yuan disagreed with the court's proposal, which is equivalent to sabotaging the peace talks. He has been published by Du Chongwei and lost his military power. Not only that, he will also implicate you. Zhiyuan, you and me, I will not hide it from you. The emperor has issued an order to send you to Luoyang for trial. I have suppressed the imperial edict, and I will naturally not make things difficult for you."

Liu Zhiyuan thought that Du Chongwei had reported this to the court, and still replied: "Sir, you will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the humble position."

Shi Chonggui happened to come back at this time. When he saw Liu Zhiyuan, the two patted each other on their chests and greeted each other. Shi Jingtang coughed, and Liu Zhiyuan said, "It's getting late. Sir, I'll leave first. I'll be a good brother. I'll be in my house again the next day." Then he looked at Shi Chonggui and smiled.

Liu Zhiyuan returned to the mansion, but he was not thinking about food and food, thinking of a solution in his mind. At night, Liu Zhiyuan took a big knife on the wall and left from the back door on a horse, and came to the agreed forest. Murong Yanchao was Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother. He used to work as a military academy in the military camp of Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan. After Li Siyuan was transformed and died, Murong Yanchao resigned from his position in the military academy and came to Taiyuan to join Liu Zhiyuan.

Murong Yanchao came to the forest early and saw Liu Zhiyuan coming hurriedly, and hurriedly met him. Liu Zhiyuan winked at Murong Yanchao and the two walked into the woods.

After a while, a group of people wearing brown clothes came over. Murong Yanchao recognized that it was the clothing of the Imperial Guard and did not dare to alarm the enemy. One of them said, "It has been delayed for half a month for what the emperor asked Shi Jingtang to do. There has been no reply yet. I don't know what Shi Jingtang is doing." The other said, "I heard that Shi Jingtang and Liu Zhiyuan are friends of life and death. I wonder if Shi Jingtang will do what the emperor ordered." The man just said angrily: "Shi Jingtang is bold and dare not disobey the emperor's imperial edict unless he does not want to be the governor of Hedong." As he said, the group of people had already walked past Liu Zhiyuan and Murong Yanchao.

Murong Yanchao listened clearly and was puzzled. Why did his brother Liu Zhiyuan clearly contribute to the court in Taiyuan? Why did he become a thorn in the court's eyes for a while? Murong Yanchao looked at Liu Zhiyuan and saw his brother calm. Liu Zhiyuan told the daytime incident. Murong Yanchao said: "The governor intends to protect his brother, but now the court sends people here, don't know what to do?" Liu Zhiyuan said: "There must be a way before the car arrives at the mountain. It's really not possible. For brother, he resigns from his position as a military academy and travels with you." Murong Yanchao said: "What the brother said is very true. Li Congke is stupid and unruly, and it is not as comfortable as the world in the world." The two talked for half an hour and returned home.

Liu Zhiyuan ordered the butler to close the door. After a while, there was a violent knock at the door, and the butler did not dare to open the door. The man outside the door shouted loudly, "Open the door quickly, the master of the Jiedushi has an urgent matter to see your master." The butler hurried into the house to report.

Liu Zhiyuan opened the door of the mansion and saw Shi Chonggui standing anxiously at the door, so he asked, "Brother Chonggui, I'm still here in the humble house so late. Has the governor's illness improved?" Shi Chonggui saw him open the door and said, "Brother Liu, my uncle is all right. But Brother Liu is now involved in a big deal." Liu Zhiyuan didn't expect that Shi Chonggui was visiting late at night just for this matter. He couldn't help but sigh, holding his hand and asking him to enter the mansion to have a gathering.

Shi Chonggui didn't have time to greet him and refused, "I will go back to the mansion immediately to avoid suspicion of the Imperial Guard." Liu Zhiyuan saw that Shi Jingtang was also involved and hurriedly asked for details. Shi Chonggui replied, "Just just returned to the mansion, I saw a group of Imperial Guards. These Imperial Guards were arrogant and did not take my uncle, Hedong Jiedu, seriously, and directly asked to arrest you and report to Luoyang. My uncle is now in a dilemma, and Brother Liu has to go out to avoid the limelight. I will talk about it in detail later. I will say goodbye first." After that, he hurriedly left.

Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly thanked him. Before he could tell Le Zhenxian the details, he left the city alone to avoid the edge. However, he accidentally intercepted the imperial messenger from Luzhou. Liu Zhiyuan found a secret copy sent by Emperor Li Congke to Daizhou Governor Du Chongwei from him. After reading the memorial, Liu Zhiyuan thought to himself: "I didn't expect that the emperor insisted on handing over Daizhou to the Khitan despite the lives of the 500,000 people in Daizhou. It would be better to report this matter to the Jiedushi quickly." So he rode back to the city again.

Shi Jingtang read the secret letter handed over by Liu Zhiyuan and said furiously: "Li Congke is a disaster for the country! Although he is my brother-in-law, he is tolerant to do these things, but who is unbearable!" So he ordered the three armies to be on strict guard against the court's resolution to ced Daizhou.

Li Congke, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Luzhou, learned that Shi Jingtang was not obeying the order in Taiyuan, and wanted to mobilize troops westward to wipe out Shi Jingtang, but because he was his brother-in-law with Shi Jingtang, he could not bear to hurt his life, so he pardoned his death sentence and ordered him to resign as the governor of Hedong and arranged for him to take on the position of central minister in Luoyang.

After the imperial edict came down, Shi Jingtang expressed gratitude to Li Congke, but firmly disagreed with leaving Taiyuan. Seeing that Shi Jingtang had a strange intention, Li Congke issued an edict to divide troops into attacks in various places. Shi Jingtang ordered Liu Zhiyuan to be the general of the expedition and Murong Yanchao as the deputy general, leading 30,000 Hedong troops to block the Tang army west of Taihang Mountain. The Tang official army was worried about various uprising troops, so they could not defeat and retreat step by step.

Liu Zhiyuan led his troops to fight against the official army and had no time to save Le Su. In order to prevent the night of long dreams, Du Chongwei ordered the secret execution of Anxi Marquis. The wife of Anxi Marquis Lin Hanyan was in chaos and found out where to end.
