Tibet

Li Ye came to Dugu Mansion to visit his wife and daughter. It was already dusk. Li Ye found a servant to deliver a message to Yonghefang, asking his men to return to the military camp first. He would not go back tonight.

"Husband, what happened?" Dugu Xinyue saw that her husband was worried.

Li Ye smiled and shook his head, "Nothing? The Jinwu Guards destroyed our Taipingfang house last night. They tried to break open the secret room, but they failed."

"Is it sent by the Emperor?"

"I don't know. I guess the emperor also wants to find something left by Fei Long! There may be something else in that imperial edict."

Dugu Xinyue was really worried that something might happen to her husband. She hugged her husband's waist tightly and said, "Husband, let's leave Chang'an!"

Li Ye kissed his wife and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and then said: "But I need the help of your father and even the entire Dugu family."

Dugu Xinyue nodded, "I'm going to plead with my grandmother. The real decision-maker in our family is my grandmother. As long as she decides to help you, the entire family will help you."

Mrs. Dugu liked Li Ye very much as her grandson-in-law, especially when Li Ye gave her a bunch of lapis lazuli beads made of lotus flowers, which made her very grateful to Li Ye. In her last few years in the human world, she felt her connection with the Buddha.

Mrs. Dugu sat on the soft couch and said slowly to Li Ye: "I have seen too much. The families of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty fought to the death for imperial power. The relationship between father and son, brothers and sisters, are all worthless in front of the imperial power. It’s not worth it. What the emperor is best at is killing heroes. You are too eye-catching. Even if you are a side branch, you are still from the royal family. Your halo makes other princes and grandsons eclipse. Today, the emperor feels the threat from you, so I just want to kill you, but with my Dugu family here, he won’t even think of touching you."

Li Ye was moved and said: "Thank you grandma for your love!"

The lonely old lady smiled and said: "Go! Your father-in-law has something to say to you. I can only express my opinion. The one who can really help you is your father-in-law."

Li Ye followed Dugu Lie to the study. Dugu Lie asked Li Ye to sit down and said, "My mother has decided to help you, and the Dugu family will go all out, but you have to tell me the truth and don't hide anything. Our son-in-law wants to Only by working together can we overcome difficulties."

Li Ye nodded and asked: "Second Uncle Dugu is between the family and the master, who will he choose?"

"He will definitely choose the family!"

Dugu Lie pondered for a moment and said: "I have to tell you something. In fact, your second uncle Dugu was expelled from the master Feilong not because he suspected him of informing, but because A Ming did not agree to Feilong's request and gave Baoji Cabinet Shop to He, Feilong, is amassing money crazily. Amin has given him 300,000 guan from the family's income and exchanged it for 30,000 taels of gold, but Feilong still thinks it's not enough and wants Amin to give him Baoji Cabinet Shop. One time A Ming refused, which angered Fei Long and drove him out of the school. Then there was news that the emperor decided to let Dugu Jing go to Khitan to get married. Do you think you have nothing to do with Fei Long?"

Dugulie sighed again, "I've always wondered how Feilong could have such great power? A Ming refused to sue me, and it wasn't until a few days ago that I found out that Feilong was the Supreme Emperor, and everything became clear."

After a moment of hesitation, Dugu Lie asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this question?"

Li Ye smiled bitterly, "Because Feilong is still alive!"

"What?"

Dugulie's eyes widened, "Then Wutingchuan."

"That was a fake death. He took the medicine to fake death. Even the imperial doctor was deceived. The last person who was burned to ashes was a eunuch. Feilong has been hiding in Xuandu Temple. I saw him this afternoon."

"Then does your Uncle Dugu know?"

Li Ye said slowly: "This is the question I just asked. Between the family and the master, Uncle Dugu, who will he choose?"

"He definitely doesn't know!"

Dugu Lie said decisively: "He is my brother. We are brothers and he will never deceive me."

Li Ye shook his head, "Second Uncle Dugu definitely doesn't know. I know this in my heart. No one knows except Lie Feng. He won't tell anyone. The key is that if Feilong summons Second Uncle, he will ask Second Uncle to deal with me. What should I do, second uncle?"

At this critical moment, Li Ye didn't show any pretense, he spoke clearly and lifted the lid.

Dugu Lie nodded, "I'll go talk to him. What else does the wise son-in-law want to tell me?"

Li Ye said lightly: "One day I may ascend the throne. This is Feilong's backup plan. If this backup plan is no longer needed, he will kill me without hesitation."

Dugu Lie was really surprised. He quickly asked: "Then what is his official plan?"

"The official plan is to help King Li Yu of Han ascend the throne. Gao Xianzhi will lead the army to control Chang'an, launch a coup, and support Li Yu to ascend the throne. He is behind the scenes."

Dugu Lie frowned, "It's a wonderful idea, but can he do it?"

Li Ye nodded slowly, "Yuan Siyi is his. He has used afurong to control the emperor through Yuan Siyi. As long as An Lushan rebels, his chance will come."

Dugu Lie took a breath of air, "Aphrodisiac?"

"This is poison. A small amount can treat pain, but if you take it in large amounts, you will become addicted. This is the real reason why the emperor goes to Tai Chi Palace every now and then."

Dugu Lie gritted his teeth and said, "This flying dragon is really cruel and ruthless. The emperor is his biological son."

Of course, Li Ye couldn't tell Feilong's true identity. It was a huge secret. Feilong wouldn't tell it, and neither would he.

Just then, footsteps came from outside, "Brother, can I come in?"

It was Dugu Ming's voice. Dugu Lie nodded, "Come in!"

Dugu Ming's mansion is not far away, less than a hundred steps away. It is in the same building as Dugu Ming's mansion, so it is very convenient for him to come here.

Dugu Ming walked in and said, "My mother sent someone to ask me to come over just now."

Li Ye stood up and saluted, "See you, second uncle!"

Dugu Ming was startled, and then said: "Aye is here just right, I am also looking for you."

"But there is news from the palace?"

Dugu Ming nodded, "Huang Xuan was brought into the palace by Li Cong and cried, saying that you led troops to break the curfew at night, refused to obey the rules, and injured Jin Wuwei general Huang Xuan. The emperor is very angry, and there may be an edict in the next two days."

Li Ye sneered: "He took the opportunity to catch me!"

"I also estimate that I will deprive you of your military power and appoint you to a false position, General Zuo Xiaowei, which happens to be vacant."

At this time, Dugu Lie on the side said slowly: "Second brother, there is something important about Feilong in the past two days, don't you know?"

Dugu Ming said calmly: "Is Fei Long not dead?"

Li Ye frowned and said, "Is it possible that he is also looking for his second uncle?"

Dugu Ming shook his head, "He didn't look for me. I guessed that even Liefeng didn't know how to open the Qiaoling secret room, and he wouldn't give it to anyone else. So I went to Lianggongzao again yesterday and asked carefully. Looking at the appearance of the old Taoist priest and a big black mole on his neck, I guessed it was a flying dragon.

"Second Uncle is absolutely right. Feilong is not dead. He came to see me this afternoon. I guess he will come to Second Uncle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"You're wrong about that!"

There was a hint of coldness in Dugu Ming's smile, "He doesn't believe me at all. Unless he wants the Emperor to know that he is still alive, he will never tell me. I will report to the Emperor that my daughter was sent to Khitan by him." A revenge of one stone."

"Yuan Siyi is from Feilong. Does Second Uncle know?"

Dugu Ming was stunned for a moment. It was obviously beyond his expectation. He thought for a while and smiled: "Who would a person like Yuan Siyi be loyal to? I'm afraid it's just Feilong's wishful thinking."

Li Ye nodded, "Second uncle is right. Feilong wants to deal with the prince, and Yuan Siyi also wants to deal with the prince. The two of them come together for a common goal. Once the prince falls, they will fall out."

Next to him, Dugu Lie was very worried about his son-in-law being dismissed. The son-in-law mainly proposed to resign. It was just a means of retreat, but if he really wanted to be dismissed, the problem would be serious.

Dugu Lie asked: "What suggestions does the second brother have regarding the emperor's removal of Ye'er from his post?"

Dugu Ming's thinking was very clear, and he said to Li Ye: "The top priority is that you have to keep the military power, not for Feilong, but for yourself. Maybe Feilong's intention to remove you from your post is to make room for Gao Xianzhi. I suggest you and Mrs. Guo Guo cooperate."

Li Ye really didn't want to deal with Mrs. Guo Guo, so he pondered for a while and said, "Isn't the imperial concubine good?"

Dugu Ming shook his head, "The imperial concubine is just a vase, kept in the palace. She can't speak ten words against one word from Mrs. Guo Guo."

Dugu Lie also advised: "No one wants to deal with that woman, but it is a matter of life and death. When it is time to lose face, a man must still be able to bend and stretch."

Li Ye thought for a long time and finally nodded, "Second uncle, can you pass a note to Mrs. Guo Guo for me?"

"Okay!" Dugu Ming agreed.
