Chapter 289: The past of Prince Huai, Li Xian's conspiracy

Suddenly, a roar was heard in the clear sky.

As Li Dan's voice fell, thunder rumbled and dark clouds came from afar and entangled together.

Li Dan's eyes were fierce, and he wished he could find ways to kill all the descendants of the Wu family.

But he couldn't do it, so he ran to Fangzhou to seek refuge.

Killing the Wu family is just a dream. It’s easier in dreams.

"Actually, I don't want to do this either, but what has become of the people of the Wu family?"

"Look at the court, how many members of my Li family are still there?"

"We finally had Li Xiaoyi, but that damned beast not only didn't help our Li family, but instead followed your majesty's wishes to attack Xu Jingye and Luo Binwang, indirectly causing the death of Crown Prince Zhang Huai!"

Since there was no one around, Li Dan completely let himself go.

He just told that woman the important secrets that no one in the court dared to discuss at that time.

"Do you think that Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian died a long time ago? Hahahahahaha, hahahahaha."

"That was all just fake news spread by your majesty. When Prince Zhang Huai was exiled to Bazhou, he was secretly rescued by Xu Jingye in less than three months and taken to Yangzhou. He joined Xu Jingye and his men in a rebellion!"

"There are quite a few people in the court who know this news. Doesn't that damn Li Xiaoyi know about it?"

"He knew it all too well, but he still led his troops. He led 300,000 troops to fight! Guess what happened in the end? He burned Xu Jingye's army in Xia'axi, and then led his troops to attack again. He found Prince Zhang Huai and beheaded him. He claimed to the outside world that Xu Jingye had hired someone to impersonate him. In fact, he did it to show his loyalty to His Majesty!"

Li Dan's teeth were about to break.

He and Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian are brothers.

This damn Li Xiaoyi, the heir of the Li clan, killed Li Dan's brothers just to show his loyalty to Wu Zetian.

Li Xiaoyi was the cousin of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan. In order to flatter an outsider, he did such a cruel thing, which really angered God and people.

Just two years after Xu Jingye's rebellion was put down, that is, in the second year of Chuigong, 686 AD, Wu Chengsi and Li Dan met in private. Afterwards, Wu Chengsi, who had not harmed the Li clan for several years, wrote a letter to falsely accuse Li Xiaoyi.

The next day, Li Xiaoyi died.

Although things are developing in a good direction, the dead can never come back.

"The generals who were devoted to serving the heir of the Li clan were suppressed by the heir of the Li clan in that rebellion. From then on, the generals in the world no longer dared to raise an army, and we could only be pawns of your majesty."

"Fortunately, six years have passed, and I finally see a rising star among the descendants of the Li family."

"Just wait and see, Yingfei, the plan between the prince and I goes far beyond this. We must have reached a common goal. Even if we can't become the emperor, Li Cunxi can become the emperor!"

The woman who had been silent for a long time in the back slowly raised her head, as if she remembered something, and asked:

"Your Highness, forgive my rudeness, but may I ask, were you involved in the case of Princess Taiping?"

Li Dan waved his sleeves lightly, turned around and looked at the woman, his face showing a very calm expression.

There was even an intriguing smile mixed in with that calmness.

"It's a pity that Ling Yue angered Cun Xi, otherwise, this bloody eagle case would be the end of your majesty."

"Ling Yue should have told Cun Xi that she left a great gift for him. In fact, the prince and I are the final gift... Everything is for the country of Emperor Taizong!"

The woman fell to her knees and prostrated herself on the ground.

"I, Yingfei, am willing to go through fire and water for the Li family for generations!"

"You don't need to go through fire and water, Yingfei. You just need to travel back and forth between Luoyang and Fangzhou for me and pass on messages for me."

"Yes!"

"The prince said that Your Majesty can't hold on for much longer. The grudges between some people in the two families are irreconcilable and will eventually turn into a fight. I think the prince must be prepared."

"What preparation?"

"You'll find out sooner or later."

……

Luoyang.

East Palace.

In the main hall of the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Li Xian entertained the Crown Prince's guests, the Crown Prince's Secretary, and the left and right generals of the Imperial Guard.

Officials from the East Palace were accompanying them below. They ate and drank and watched the beautiful women dance. They felt really comfortable.

After a period of singing and dancing, the officials left one after another. The dancers and servants were also ordered to leave. Only four guests of the crown prince, a crown prince's secretary and the left and right generals of the Imperial Guard were left in the huge main hall.

Li Xian dismissed the maid who was pouring wine for everyone, sniffed hard, stood up, holding the wine glass, and stood in the center of the main hall.

"Everyone, thank you for your teachings over the years. When I was not yet crowned as the Great Emperor, you followed me. You have worked hard for me over the years and have made great contributions."

"Let's have a drink together!"

The seven people didn't understand what the prince was going to do, but they couldn't disturb his fun anyway, so they raised their glasses and drank together.

Li Xian drank a lot today, but his face was not flushed. Instead, he looked more and more energetic.

He walked on the grounds of the main hall, completely different from his usual cowardly and incompetent appearance, and scanned everyone with his deep eyes.

"You should all know that our dynasty is already in the midst of a violent storm and raging waves!"

"Your Majesty has long wanted to pass the throne to the Wu family. This is a huge event for us!"

"Although we have Lord Di and Lord Zhang and a group of loyal ministers in the court, the political situation is ever-changing. Who could have expected that four major cases that shocked the world would occur from September last year to now?"

"The government is in ruins, the country is in disharmony, wars are raging everywhere, and the people are unsettled!"

"Over the past ten years, our Li family has suffered heavy casualties, and we can say that we have withered in the wind. Fortunately, the heavens have not let us down, and have blessed my brother Cunxi, a descendant of the Duke of Huang."

"During the past six months, I believe you have all taken my brother Cunxi seriously, right? I believe your evaluation of Cunxi must be good."

"My brother Cunxi is brave and resourceful, has unparalleled intelligence, extraordinary abilities, quick wit, and a clear mind, far beyond the average person. Among my peers, there are only a handful of people who can compare with him."

"I can't hide the incident in Liang County, Ruzhou from you. I discussed that matter with the Prince of Xiang, just to withdraw from the court, shut myself in, and watch the Wu family fight to the point of bloodshed."

"For this plan, I sacrificed the secret guards who had followed me for many years, and the Prince of Xiang also sacrificed one of his few disciples."

"I'm sure you all know our real purpose now. Yes, although we have retreated, we did so in order to concentrate all our strength on my brother Cunxi."

"Although your majesty has acquiesced to the actions of Li Dan and me, it is absolutely impossible for the heir of the Li family to withdraw from this round of bloody fighting. Li Dan and I are not capable enough to deal with the Wu family, but my brother Cunxi can!"
