Wu Bajin and others who spread rumors disappeared, and this incident became unproven. Only then did the Crown Prince Li Chengqian realize the strong sense of conspiracy.

I thought it was a rumor that naturally caused the leak of the news, but it was not until now that Li Chengqian realized something was wrong.

If you go further, you can't check it anymore. The city is full of wind and rain, and people are talking like tigers. Even the prince of the Tang Dynasty cannot block others' mouths. Nowadays, the folk customs in the court are surprisingly open. Li Shimin is determined to build a harmonious society in the Tang Dynasty and do his best to make the people of the Tang Dynasty live happily. The people do not stop anything, because only in this way is the demeanor of the saint king, and the Tang Dynasty is the prosperous atmosphere. At that time, the smallpox near Chang'an, and the people in the market were resentful. He brought up all the disgraceful things like Xuanwu Gate to say. Li Shimin was helpless and had to take active measures to treat the smallpox.

The emperor has no choice but to do anything. What can the prince do to block the people's mouth?

…………

Taiping Village.

The rumors in Chang'an City seem to have nothing to do with Taiping Village. It is only dozens of miles away from Chang'an, but it seems to be isolated from the world. The villagers rarely leave the village, and very few people outside come in. Everyone lives a self-sufficient life, without fighting and seeking nothing from the world.

Li Su's lack of motivation may have been infected by this village. After the peaceful and peaceful days in the village have been too long, all rights disputes outside seem to become ridiculous.

When people who go out return here, their moods will always change, similar to the sudden enlightenment and clarity of seeing through the world, such as Wang Zhi.

There are a group of idle men in the East City of Chang'an. They live a life of hustling and crying every day, without worrying about food and drinking, and their power is growing stronger. Now, no matter the shopkeepers and servants of various stores in the East City or the Hu Shang who travels through mountains and rivers thousands of miles away, they all know the name of Brother Wang in Dong City. Wang Zhi has become the number one figure in Dong City of Chang'an. Although this person has power, it is rare that he never steals or robs. Not only that, when encountering those thieves with unclean hands and feet, Wang Zhi's subordinates can also help Wuhou and the officials to find it out, and strictly restrain his subordinates. It is absolutely forbidden to extort and steal in the East City. Violators will destroy their hands and feet.

Of course, Wang Zhi's actions were not what he thought of, but Li Su, who was behind him, told him seriously that there was no soil for the development of gangs of evil forces in the Tang Dynasty, and the government would never allow an abscess or tumor to corrupt the market atmosphere, especially in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, if Wang Zhi and his subordinates wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an East City, the first thing they remember was that they could not oppose the government and the national laws. Not only could they not oppose it, but they also had to help actively safeguard the national laws and make good connections with the government and the market merchants. As long as they were respected by others, the Dongcheng City could be kept calmly and forever.

Li Su's words were always right. The Wang brothers were convinced by him. Wang Zhi did as Li Su said. Not long after, he suddenly realized that there was a smile on his face, whether it was Wuhoufang officials in the East City or the merchants who came and went, when he saw Wang Zhi.

Later, Wang Zhi helped Wuhou take a few stingy thieves. The next day, while sitting in the tavern and bragging with the idle men, Wuhou, who was patrolling the street, suddenly came over, greeted him with a smile, and used the honorific title of "Shaolangjun". Wang Zhi faced him without changing his expression, but he sighed in his heart.

It seems that I can already take root in Dongshi.

…………

"I secretly sent Wu Bajin and others out of Chang'an. I found a Hu caravan and followed the Hu merchants out of the city to Longyou..." Wang Zhi grinned and said, "If the prince wants to find the source of rumors, he may have to work hard to go to Longyou."

Li Su squatted under the locust tree in the yard and said lightly: "All those involved in this matter will be sent to Chang'an, so you can hide for a while..."

Wang Zhi smiled indifferently and said, "These ten people have always been in secret with me. The idle men under his command have no idea that they have anything to do with me, and the prince can't find out what I have on my head."

Li Su glanced at him and said, "I don't care if you don't care. Okay, you should live well in Dongshi. You must live for a long time."

Wang Zhi looked at him stupidly, remained silent for a while, his throat moved, swallowed, and said dryly: "I decided to listen to you, it's better to hide..."

After saying that, Wang Zhi showed a look of admiration and said, "A few gossips forced the prince to the corner and could not move forward and retreat. I heard that even Wei Zheng, the Minister of the Shangshu, submitted a memorial to impeach the prince yesterday. The ten major mistakes made Your Majesty very annoyed. The court meeting ended unhappily... All this was done by me and ten confidants. Your Majesty! The court meeting! I am so awesome."

Li Su frowned. It turned out that this guy admired him...

After Wang Zhi worshipped himself, he turned his head and looked at Li Su, adding perfunctorily: "You are also very powerful. How did you think of this trick?"

"People's public opinion has been a powerful tool for achieving achievements since ancient times. As far as the Qin Dynasty, there was the word "Yu Bai" hidden in the words "The Rise of Chu and King Chen Sheng" which attracted the spread of the people and thus gained the hearts of the people. This is called public opinion. Three people become tigers, and the mouths of the people are used for gold. The hearts of the people have always been used for the people. However, many people only know how to use it in wartime. In fact, it can also be used in the Taiping Scene. A rumor spreads, and people are spreading word by word, and it spreads to the wind and rain all over the city. At this time, the truth is no longer important. A wrong lie is said in unison, and it is the truth. This lie has become a powerful tool for heart-killing. Whoever dares to doubt will destroy it."

Wang Zhi was stunned. He had never heard of many new words in these words and did not understand them at all. He hesitated for a long time before he showed a very insincere admiration.

"Yes, it's true! You're really amazing..."

Li Su glanced at him and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to understand, so there is no need to say such insincere words that are against your will. You just need to show a look of awe."

Wang Zhi then showed an unknown and fierce expression...

"Received! Okay, it's all our business next. Send a trustworthy man to go outside the Wei Palace to stare at His Highness the King of Wei's movements."

Wang Zhi found that Li Su was very experienced today and could not keep up with the rhythm at all. He lowered his face in frustration: "Wang Wang...what is going on? Why does it have anything to do with him?"

Li Su showed a mysterious smile and said, "There are too many people who are jealous of the prince. Among them, the King of Wei is even more red. His eyes are red like a bunny. Now Chang'an is full of rumors, all of them are targeting the prince. The prince made such a big mistake, how could the ambitious King of Wei have no action? We mentioned the topic, then slapped our butt and then withdrew. Next, the King of Wei will help us make up for the subsequent plot, and let's watch the show."

Wang Zhi looked at Li Su with a sinister smile on his face, and then showed a more sincere admiration.

Li Su was very happy: "Be good, don't blink your eyes, brighten up a little, there must be stars..."

***************************************************************

As Li Su expected, King Wei did make any moves.

Li Shimin was never a good father. While pampering the prince Li Chengqian, he also valued the King of Wei very much. No one knew why His Majesty had such contradictory behavior today. It is said that he personally enthroned the prince. In order to help the prince establish authority, he could not favor other princes too much, otherwise it would have hit the prince's prestige.

However, Li Shimin attached great importance to the King of Wei, often praised him in front of court officials, and even rewarded the East and West at any time. He even broke the law and etiquette for him, allowing King of Wei Li Tai to not have to go to his fiefdom and stayed in Chang'an to study and study. In addition, the King of Wei's ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial ceremonial

With so much favor that King Wei has to be, how could King Wei have no ambitions and ideas?

The unstable factors in the Tian family in the Tang Dynasty were all caused by Li Shimin himself.

Now, a bad trend against the prince of the Eastern Palace has been inexplicably blew up in Chang'an City. King Li Tai of Wei saw it but was happy to see it. Li Su was right. If such a good opportunity does not hit the iron and make trouble for His Royal Highness while it is hot, I would really be sorry for his ambition.

When rumors were flying all over Chang'an City, several figures of Wei's Mansion on Zhuque Street quietly emerged, like waves jumping into the sea, and merged into the crowd silently...

In the next few days, rumors in Chang'an City escalated without warning.

The former bad deeds of Prince Li Chengqian were turned out one after another. The memorial of Wei Zheng, the Minister of the Shangshu Province, to advise the prince of ten mistakes, was well known. The rumors about the Feng family's murder case suddenly turned around and became all behind the scenes. From the beginning of the Feng family's son's abuse of the maid, it was a murder case carefully set up by the prince, in order to get rid of Li Su, a son of Jingyang County who had offended him...

The East Palace was caught off guard again. The lights of the East Palace and the Wei Palace were not turned off all night that night. The staff and officials of both sides were sleepless all night and gathered together to discuss offensive and defensive countermeasures. Both sides were in chaos.

Taking the Feng family’s murder as a reason, things get bigger and bigger.

In the past two years, due to Li Shimin's favor, King Li Tai of Wei has grown up ambitions. Ambitions will always seize the opportunity and make all preparations for the throne. Now there are many court officials under the command of the King of Wei who can be driven by him. This is a great opportunity to overthrow the prince. Some court officials in both camps finally couldn't help but surface.

After Wei Zheng submitted a memorial, more than ten censors from the Censorate submitted memorials again, counting the prince's faults, and the Feng family's murder case inevitably became an excellent weapon for the censors to criticize the prince.

Some people are targeting each other, so there will be people who will protect it. After the censors submitted a memorial, many court officials jumped out of the court to defend the prince. The two sides were clearly divided, and the quarrels in the court became a mess.

It was not until this time that Li Shimin suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
