Liu Jiqiang suppressed the panic in his heart, and he did not turn around when he opened the bow. He had to persevere to the end and must defeat the prince.

At the same time, Liu Ji was also angry and hated Li Fei very much.

Originally, as Du Youlin's son-in-law and the prince's brother-in-law, his report should be accurate.

Indeed, His Majesty immediately issued an order to arrest Du Youlin, and the court also questioned the prince. He came out to testify against the prince at that time, and had a secret agreement with Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, almost all the officials in the court were just the prime minister. The prince was suppressed by Li Linfu for many years before, and there was no power in the court. No one would talk to the prince. If there was any operation in the future, the prince would fall.

By then, he will not only be able to destroy his relatives for justice and report his rebellion, but will also be appreciated by the prime minister and make his fortunes come true.

However, he never expected that the adopted son of the imperial concubine, Li Fei, Duke of Wu, would come out to defend the prince, and directly questioned him as one-sided.

Li Fei's words were worthy, and His Majesty immediately became suspicious.

Liu Ji was a little confused. Li Fei was the adopted son of Yang Guifei, so he was also the "uncle and nephew" of the Prime Minister. Li Fei and the Prime Minister should be in the same group. Didn't the Prime Minister tell Li Fei about the overthrow of the crown prince? Or was Li Fei deliberately going against the Prime Minister?

It is not difficult to understand that Liu Ji couldn't figure it out. Yang Guozhong disliked Li Fei and wanted to destroy Li Fei, but because of Yang Guifei's relationship, it was just a secret matter. On the surface, he still maintained the harmony of "uncle and nephew" with Li Fei.

It’s also a bit strange that Liu Ji is just a general of Zuo Xiaowei. He doesn’t have to go to court normally, and he is confused about politics. He is not very well-informed in the news. He is not very clear about the open and secret struggle between Yang Guozhong and Li Fei. On the surface, it is a relationship of "uncle and nephew". In secret, Yang Guozhong regards Li Fei as an enemy who is thorny in his eyes.

Li Fei suddenly stood up to protect the prince, which made Yang Guozhong very angry.

However, although Yang Guozhong's original plan was a little disrupted by Li Fei, he also made other preparations. He would not be able to continue to frame the prince just because of Li Fei's exposing and maintaining it.

"Your Majesty, Du Youlin has been sent to the Heavenly Prison. What is going on? After being interrogated and verified, it is also easy to clear the prince's innocence." Yang Guozhong said.

As the prime minister, Yang Guozhong's words are of course the most important.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded and said with a cold face: "It is time to verify it carefully. You will be responsible for this matter. I will find out the truth. I want to see what happened and leave the court!"

--------

After going down the court, Li Fei walked slowly, waiting for Prince Li Heng to catch up with him.

The two of them consciously walked evenly, and were neither far nor close.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to panic. Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu are both treacherous ministers. Yang Guozhong wants to frame Your Highness the Crown Prince and will not be able to do what he wants. Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been famous. Although he has suffered repeated disasters over the years, he will eventually see it one day. Li Fei firmly believes in Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Fei said very righteously, and the compliments made him feel a little disgusted.

"Duke Wu believes that this prince was wronged?" Li Heng was so moved. Since he was suppressed many times, he has the title of prince. How many people are far away from him? Just now, except for three or two irrelevant small officials in the court, almost no one is willing to protect him. Only Li Fei is willing to stand up, be willing to protect him, and believe him.

"Li Fei firmly believes that the prince must have been wronged. Li Fei will never watch the prince suffer such a heinous injustice no matter what." Li Fei nodded firmly and said.

Li Heng felt warm in his heart. His eyes looked at Li Fei differently, and he became much more kind in an instant. Sure enough, it was better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake. Li Fei's warmth was delivered too promptly.

"Okay, okay! Duke Wu is righteous, Li Heng will never dare to forget it." Li Heng was so moved that he wanted to hold Li Fei's hand.

Li Fei was waiting for Li Heng's words. With this sentence, it was equivalent to Li Heng's recognition of this kindness. In the future, Li Heng became the emperor in the Anshi Rebellion, and I believe he would not make things difficult for him.

When Li Fei returned home, he was very happy. He teased his eldest son Li Rui and comforted the two pregnant beautiful ladies, and was full of hope for the future.

--------

On the other hand, Liu Ji also secretly followed Yang Guozhong to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Sir, I always frame the prince according to your words. You must not stand by and watch. If you lose this opportunity, it will not be easy for you to defeat the prince in the future." Liu Ji said to Yang Guozhong anxiously.

Yang Guozhong scolded with a bad look: "Liu Ji, pay attention to your words, when will the Prime Minister ask you to frame the prince?"

"Zao, Prime Minister, you, you---" Liu Ji glared at him, thinking that Yang Guozhong had gone back on his word and was ready to betray him and give up on him.

"What's the hurry! Hold on to your testimony. This prime minister has his own strategy. Of course, the prince will fall down." Yang Guozhong comforted Liu Jidao with a expressionless face.

"Yes, I will bother the Prime Minister." Liu Ji said yes with a humble look on his face, not daring to refute at all.

After Liu Ji left, Yang Guozhong's face darkened and he secretly scolded Liu Ji as a useless waste.

Yang Guozhong's ultimate goal is of course to overthrow the prince.

Originally, if Li Fei didn't come out to protect the prince, basically no one would come out to speak for the prince, and let Liu Ji testify and accus the prince. He could naturally directly bring the prince down.

But now, Li Fei easily exposed Liu Ji, which made His Majesty doubt Liu Ji's words. At this moment, it would be unlikely to overthrow the prince through Liu Ji's evidence.

Liu Ji is already a useless chess piece!

Three days later, Yang Guozhong entered the palace again and reported the case review to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that Liu Ji is suspected of falsely accusing the prince, but it is true that Du Youlin once made a Tuchen in his mansion. Liu Ji knew it very early and even participated. Later, Liu Ji had a disagreement with Du Youlin because of his disagreement with his wife Du, so he came out to prove Du Youlin. In summary, Du Youlin and Liu Ji were indeed dissatisfied with Your Majesty and wanted to treason the prince, but the prince himself did not know whether it was." Yang Guozhong undoubtedly gave up Liu Ji. Although he admitted Liu Ji's possible false accusation, he also confirmed that Du Youlin wanted to rebel by pulling Liu Ji to make a rebellion.

Although he did not explicitly say that the prince was also involved in the rebellion, he also implied that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had the possibility of rebellion!

Yang Guozhong knew Emperor Xuanzong of Tang very well and knew Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. He did not need to provide evidence of the prince's exact intention to rebel. As long as he made Emperor Xuanzong of Tang feel that the prince was "possible" to rebel, coupled with the involvement of Du Youlin and Liu Ji, the chance of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang deposed the prince was as high as 90%!

Sure enough, he believed in the words of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and his face turned blue and his eyes were chilling.

"Liu Ji!"
