Li Ye returned to Dugu Mansion. Dugu Lie and Dugu Ming were both there. Today the emperor issued a warning edict, which made it difficult for countless people to sleep. The same goes for the Dugu family.

Li Ye came to the back hall, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said with a smile: "I just met King Guangping!"

Dugu Lie was startled and asked quickly: "Where did I see the virtuous son-in-law?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "I knew he was going to the East Palace, so I waited for him on his way back, and sure enough I saw him.

Dugu Ming quickly asked: "How is the prince doing now?"

Li Ye shook his head, "I didn't ask, but it can be seen that Li Chu is very desperate. The prince's despair can be imagined."

"The wise son-in-law is looking for King Guangping at this time. Does he want to help the prince solve his problems?" Dugu Lie asked tentatively.

Li Ye smiled and said: "I did go for this. Of course, I can't help them in vain. I have conditions. After the Anlu Mountain rebellion subsides, I will go to the west of Congling to guard the border, including my descendants." , they have been guarding the border for the Tang Dynasty for generations. If the Dugu family is interested, they can also go there to find a piece of land and establish their own country."

Dugu Lie and Dugu Ming looked at each other in shock. Both of them were shocked by Li Ye's words. Dugu Lie waved his hands quickly, "Xian son-in-law, you can't say such things randomly, and you can't make fun of them casually."

Li Ye smiled. He didn't want to discuss the matter in depth. He changed the topic and asked, "Did father-in-law tell the emperor about the 10,000 troops in Bashang?"

Dugu Lie nodded, "I reported it to the emperor yesterday, but he didn't take it seriously. He seemed to think that Feilong would not have any objections anymore. At such an old age, power no longer meant anything to him. Feilong must be ninety years old!" You are still in such good health, you are really a monster.”

Li Ye knew that Feilong was not calculated based on Li Dan's age, but based on his own age when he time traveled, which was in his twenties, similar to Li Longji's. He thought he was only in his sixties.

Dugu Ming asked: "My nephew really believes that Feilong is going to launch a mutiny?"

Li Ye nodded, "Definitely, and in these two days, this is An Lushan's cultural attack, reducing the pressure of the war, using Yuan Siyi as an internal response, inducing civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. Now the general Chen Xuanli is not in Chang'an, and Li Wan Holding military power is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Feilong and Li Wan, can Second Uncle send someone to monitor Ba Shang's army?"

Dugu Ming smiled and said: "Of course I will send them. I will know immediately if they have any movement."

At this time, Dugu Lie frowned and asked, "Did the good son-in-law ask Chen Xuanli to go out to avoid trouble, just to create opportunities for Feilong?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "Feilong has always said that fate must be grasped in his own hands. In fact, I want to tell him that he can grasp his destiny in his own hands, but when he will do it, it may not be his decision. never mind."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid I can't do it alone. I have to rely on Brother Jinyang's army. As long as we are fully prepared, six thousand people can still defeat an army of ten thousand flying dragons!"

Li Ye quickly left Dugu Mansion. Dugu Ming thought for a moment and said to his brother: "Wouldn't eldest brother consider Li Ye's suggestion just now?"

"What advice?" Dugulie forgot for a while.

"He just mentioned that he would give us a piece of land and the Dugu family would establish a country in the Western Region."

Dugu Lie didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he sighed and said, "Second brother, are you really tempted?"

Dugu Ming nodded, "I'm really tempted."

Dugu Lie sighed, "But the problem is how can the court agree to let him be the king of the Western Regions? His descendants will inherit the throne. In name, it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is an independent vassal town! The prince will never agree. King Guangping If he agrees now, he will definitely regret it in the future. Li Ye is still a little too naive to believe King Guangping's promise?"

"What if he succeeds? I mean what if."

Dugu was silent for a long time and said: "If he succeeds, I will also be tempted!"

At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and reported in the hall: "Master, Wei Xiangguo is here!"

It was now the first watch, and Wei Jiansu came to the door. Dugu Lie and Dugu Ming looked at each other, and they both realized that Wei Jiansu must be here for the prince's affairs.

Wei Jiansu had already visited more than 20 houses that night. He sat down in the guest room and ignored the greetings. He took out a signature book and handed it to the Dugu brothers, "This is a joint letter from Prince Bao. I hope the emperor will Be able to be clear-headed and rational, and don’t shake the foundation of the country.”

Dugu Lie looked at it without saying anything. He picked up a pen and signed his name. He looked at the list and asked, "How many signatures does Wei Xiangguo plan to collect?"

Wei Jiansu sighed, "I don't know how many there are!"

"Has everyone signed?" Dugu Lie asked again.

Wei Jiansu looked dimly and shook his head, "All the ministers who support the prince have signed. I don't expect people from the Yang Guozhong and Zhang Jun factions to sign. In fact, as long as they don't add insult to injury, I will be very grateful to them."

Next to him, Dugu Ming also signed his name with a pen and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to be too anxious, Xiangguo Wei. The emperor did not directly depose the prince, but issued a warning, just to observe everyone's attitude, especially the attitude of the feudal towns. This decision cannot be made in a day or two, it will take at least ten days, Wei Xiangguo, take your time!"

Wei Jiansu smiled and said: "With the words of Dugu Prince Consort, I feel more at ease, okay! I'm going back to rest, I'm really exhausted.

Wei Jiansu stood up and left.

The next day was the first day of June. Early in the morning, Rong Wang Li Wan came to Guantian Pavilion of Daming Palace and found Feilong.

"Did anyone really hear what happened last night?" Li Wan asked anxiously as soon as they met.

Feilong smiled slightly, "It must be the prince's warning order!"

Li Wan nodded, hesitated and said: "Since the crown prince's position is no longer guaranteed, can we change the plan a little?"

Feilong knew that Li Wan did not have the guts to launch a coup, and he was really disappointed, so he said coldly: "Do you think the emperor will let you enter the East Palace after deposing the prince?"

Li Wan was stunned, "Who could that be?"

Feilong said slowly: "I always thought that the emperor liked Di Wang Li Yan the most, but now I know that the prince who the emperor really plans to establish as crown prince is Yong Wang Li Lin."

"Ah! Why him?"

Feilong smiled faintly and said: "Yuan Siyi told me that the emperor had talked with King Yong from the beginning. You all don't know that Li Lin behaved very low-key, but the emperor liked his low-key. He observed it for a long time and finally decided Then make King Yong the crown prince."

Li Wan was greatly disappointed. He had always thought that his father would make him the prince.

Feilong comforted him again and said: "I have been watching the sky these past few days, and there are new stars entering Ziwei Palace, but the new stars come from the east, not the southeast. That means the new stars are not Yong Wang Li Lin who is recruiting troops on the east road of Jiangnan, but His Highness. This is God’s will, if Your Highness does not take it, it violates the law of Heaven, and you will be punished by God!”

Li Wan bit his lip and said, "How sure are we of success?"

"We are 90% sure that now that Chen Xuanli is not in Chang'an, the Longwu Army has no master and cannot play the role of protecting the Lord. We will fight quickly and finish it in half an hour. We will not kill your father, but only let him abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. This does not mean It doesn’t violate human ethics, you don’t even need to meet the emperor, you just wait behind, I will negotiate with the emperor for you, and when everything is over, you can enter the palace and take the throne!"

Li Wan was just afraid of meeting his father. When he heard that he didn't have to enter the palace or negotiate with his father, and more importantly, he could keep his father safe and respect him as the Supreme Emperor, he felt relieved.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Everything will proceed as planned."
