Liu Ji was waiting at home for the news that the prince was brought down, and a large group of soldiers suddenly rushed in and captured him.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I'm not guilty----" Liu Ji was still confused until he was arrested in the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice, and he didn't know what happened.

"Zhao, Lord Prime Minister!" Seeing Yang Guozhong, Liu Jicai widened his eyes.

"Zuo Xiao Guard Cao Liuji, you have accused the prince of being accused of the prince. You are so evil. Why don't you admit it quickly!" Yang Guozhong shouted coldly, and did not mention to Liuji that he and Du Youlin were involved in the conspiracy to rebel, but only said that he falsely accused the prince of the prince.

"Yang Guozhong, you betray me!" Liu Ji was furious. He only thought that his false accusation of the prince was exposed. He did not know that Yang Guozhong also accused him of being a core member of the rebellious intention, and not only gave up his chess piece, but also used his chess piece to pull the prince into the water.

"Come on, help Liu Jipai!" Yang Guozhong instructed people to take the evidence of guilt that had been written long ago to Liu Ji and force Liu Jipai to cover it.

Liu Ji was forcibly held down by several yamen runners, and he could not help but be held accountable or not.

"No, no, Yang Guozhong, you won't die a good death!" Liu Ji cursed in grief and anger. He never expected that he would come out to falsely accuse Du Youlin and the prince of the emperor by listening to Yang Guozhong's words, and ending up like this. Yang Guozhong was simply using him.

No matter what Liu Ji thought or how he shouted and scolded, Yang Guozhong turned a deaf ear and obtained the evidence of "passing through" Liu Ji's paintings, and Yang Guozhong smiled.

This is the power that his prime minister Yang Guozhong now has!

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang enjoyed his life in the deep palace, turned a blind eye to the outside world, and handed over most of the government memorials to the prime minister. This was not only because he trusted the prime minister he chose, but also gave too much power to the prime minister.

It would be fine if the prime minister chosen by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was an upright, truly talented person and loyal to the country. Unfortunately, he met Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong one after another.

Yes, if he was an upright and truly talented person, he would not have seen Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as tired and lazy as he was, and would have persuaded Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, such as Zhang Jiuling at that time.

Only those like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong who have a strong desire for utilitarian rights would like to be degenerate to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and delegate power to them.

Compared with the prime ministers before the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu's Yang Guozhong had much more power.

In the past, Li Linfu and now Yang Guozhong took over the court, but no one dared to oppose them. The reason was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had excessive trust in them and their rights were much greater than that of normal prime ministers.

They could make excuses at will to destroy a person. For example, Liu Ji is too lazy to interrogate now. They took the evidence he had drafted and forced Liu Ji to seal it, so they directly found Liu Ji's crime.

Why is this happening? Because Liu Ji is just a small person. Even if Yang Guozhong fabricates evidence of the crime, as long as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not interrogate Liu Ji personally, Liu Ji would have no way to complain about him.

At that time, Li Linfu had no choice but to deal with Yang Guozhong. In addition to the reason for Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also valued Yang Guozhong. Once something happened to Yang Guozhong, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Concubine Yang would both inquire about it personally, so that Li Linfu could not fabricate evidence of the crime at will. At that time, Li Linfu wanted to overthrow Yang Guozhong, but all he needed was ironclad evidence that Yang Guozhong could not deny.

For example, Li Fei is also protected by Concubine Yang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also valued Li Fei more and had a good impression of Li Fei.

No matter how powerful Yang Guozhong is, once Li Fei has something, he will not ask whether Emperor Xuanzong of Tang will interfere. Once Yang Guifei asks, he will have to ask Li Fei for evidence that he cannot even complain in person to deny Li Fei. Therefore, Yang Guozhong cannot design and slander Li Fei as he is now.

Let alone Li Fei.

Li Bai was often summoned by Emperor Xuan of Tang to the palace to help Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei write poems. He was regarded as a strange person by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was highly valued by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Yang Guifei was also satisfied with Li Bai. Once something happened to Li Bai, 30 to 40% of the time, he might be personally questioned by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei. Therefore, although Li Bai's official position was low, Yang Guozhong did not dare to frame him at will.

Of course, in Yang Guozhong's eyes, Li Bai was just a "scholar" with a low position and could not even attend the court. Yang Guozhong disliked at most.

Only Li Fei is the thorn in Yang Guozhong's side.

Oh, now there seems to be another person. Li Fei's father-in-law Lin Siming just entered the court not long ago. As Li Fei's father-in-law, Yang Guozhong was naturally summarized as Li Fei's gang and his group, and they were also the object of Yang Guozhong's suppression and dislike. However, Lin Siming was relatively low-key. Yang Guozhong's energy was mainly concentrated on Li Fei and brought down Li Fei. Lin Siming was just an ant.

After Liu Ji confessed to guilty, he committed suicide that night.

The next day, the evidence of the crime "passed through" Liu Ji's painting appeared in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The above explained without any concealment that Liu Ji and Du Youlin had indeed privately claimed to be a prophecy, and discussed the fault of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and wanted to support the crown prince, which was almost the same as rebellion.

"Your Majesty, the prince does not know whether he will participate or can be removed, but Du Youlin and Liu Ji have confirmed the evidence. I would like to ask Your Majesty what to do and whether to continue to investigate in depth?" Yang Guozhong said carefully. The so-called continuing in-depth investigation naturally means directly pointing to the prince Li Heng and directly investigating the prince Li Heng.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang trusted Yang Guozhong too much and did not doubt Yang Guozhong's words at all.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang frowned and his face was very gloomy.

If you continue to investigate, the final result is that you have to depose the prince. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang is old, and he does not want to depose the prince, which leads to chaos. He does not want the prince to have too many delusions that should not have. He just hopes that the prince will be his own prince honestly.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would be unable to make a decision for the time being.

Yang Guozhong did not dare to urge him, so he quietly retreated. Anyway, he had already dug a hole, and the important thing depends on the intention of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. If Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt that Li Heng was no longer competent in the crown prince and had the idea of ​​changing the crown prince, he could defeat Prince Li Heng next.

Outside the palace, Liu Ji and Du Younei's crime of committing suicide due to fear of crimes, have been confirmed because Liu Ji and Du Youlin's crime of "provoking prophecy and holding the prince back to rebel".

Although the prince Li Heng has not been implicated in this moment, it is enough to make Li Heng frightened and unable to sleep at night, for fear that he would wait for the imperial edict of his father to depose the prince when he woke up.

There was no deposed prince in all dynasties who had been deposed, so how could Li Heng not be afraid?

"Father, my son has never been in a rebellious mind. Why do you always suspect me? Let Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong suppress me and frame me? If you don't believe me, why did you want me to be the crown prince?" Li Heng was filled with grief and anger.

Li Heng sat on the threshold of the East Palace hall and said nothing. His expression suddenly became sad and sinister.
