After the prime ministers came out of the Eastern Palace, they all looked solemn.

Because the problems mentioned by the prince just now do exist, but even the prime ministers think these problems are difficult to solve.

It involves too much.

After Changsun Wuji returned to the Secretariat, he immediately found Chu Suiliang, the Secretariat Minister, Lai Ji and others. These were all Changsun Wuji's own people in the Secretariat.

"What do you mean by the prince of the regent?"

Lai Ji was Qin Lang's brother. He entered the imperial examination and was the top scholar in the imperial examination. He worked as a clerk in the secretariat and also as a cardinal secretary. Later, he followed Qin Lang to the south and stayed in Tonghai for several years. He then returned to the court to be a clerk in the Central Secretariat. He had outstanding talents and had a powerful backstage like Qin Lang.

Although Qin Lang is not here now, Changsun Wuji also completely regards Lai Ji as his own.

Lai Jidao, "I think the intention of the drunkard is not to drink. His Highness borrowed the issue of immigration from Liaodong and suddenly pointed out that the matter of household registration management and population loss is not dependent on the immigration to Liaodong itself, but should be directed at other things."

What else is it? Changsun Wuji is very clever and understands it in one word.

This other thing is of course the nobles, nobles, nobles, wealthy and powerful businessmen who are leaking out the population, and even specifically refer to those who establish business towns, mining and other industries overseas.

"The prince said that gold mining is everywhere, which reminds me of a rumor I have heard recently. Have you heard the legend of Treasure Island?" Changsun Wuji asked.

When Chu Suiliang came to Ji and nodded.

There are also stories about the Treasure Island getting rich overnight. I heard that many people in Luoyang rushed to Lingnan to go overseas to find gold, and they all fantasized about getting rich overnight.

"Taibaojian resigned from his official position and said he would go back to his fiefdom to accompany the princess and write history books, but why did he go to the South China Sea to dig gold and mine, and make such a big noise?" Changsun frowned.

Qin Lang is his in-laws. His two daughters married into the Qin family, one married Qin Lang as a mother and the other was his wife to Qin Xun, Duke of Qi. Therefore, the relationship between Changsun and the Qin family was prosperous.

"Could the prince have any opinions on Qin Taibao?"

"It's unlikely that I went for Duke Wei. After all, Duke Wei is not in the court. Now he has only taken the title of Grand Governor of Zhennan, and does not care about the affairs of the court." Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

"But the prince wouldn't mention this matter suddenly for no reason, right?"

Changsun was very confused. Prince Chengqian has become more and more calm and generous in recent years. Sometimes Changsun Wuji feels that he can't see through him. He is no longer the reckless prince a few years ago, so he will never act randomly.

"Maybe the prince just talked about immigration to Liaodong, and mentioned this by the way?"

"Impossible." Changsun Wuji and Lai Ji said in unison.

"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, let's let it go for now. Deng Shan, what you said about Liu Jue, we will discuss it again. If you don't take action, you will have to achieve success as soon as you take action."

Lai Ji was a little hesitant, "Since Mr. Chu has evidence of Liu Ju's crime in his hand, then it is impeachment based on reality. The right and wrong will be decided by the saint."

Changsun shook his head, "You are still too young. If you don't take action, you have to kill him. If you don't take action, you must kill him. If you don't kill a snake, you will suffer endless troubles. This is something you have to remember."

He wanted to take the opportunity to completely knock Liu Shi to the ground, and it would be best to be able to execute him. In this way, he could cut off the possibility of Liu Shi becoming a servant. Of course, the most important thing was that Liu Shi was originally a supporter of the King of Wei, and he was once the recommended person by Wei Zheng and had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling.

Now that he returns to the court, Liu Shi and Fang Xuanling are obviously forming an alliance. This is not allowed to stay for Changsun Wuji who is determined to knock Fang Xuanling over.

Fang Xuanling acted without any leakage, was very steady and could not find any loopholes, but since Liu Shi had revealed his flaws, of course he could not let it go.

After the last discussion, it was decided that Chu Suiliang, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, would meet the emperor and secretly complain to the crime of giving in person.

Shangyang Palace.

Li Shimin returned to Shangyang Palace from the suburbs, and Chu Suiliang asked him to see him.

Chu Suiliang first presented a genuine work of Wang Xizhi to the emperor, which made the emperor happy. Li Shimin admired Wang Xizhi the most and was his super fan. As long as it was the original work of Wang, he wanted to collect it.

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Chu Suiliang began to falsely accuse Liu Shi.

He said that when the emperor personally conquered Liaodong, he had a cervical ulcer on his back while training, he temporarily stationed in Tianjin. Liu Qi was ordered by the prince and rushed to see the emperor first. Later, he told the ministers that the saint suffered from carbuncles and had a serious condition, but there was no need to worry. If so, he just had to follow the story of Huo Guang and Yi Yin, the prince of the regent and the state, and kill those ministers with two hearts.

As soon as these words were said, Li Shimin's face immediately changed.

Why? Because who are Huo Guang and Yi Yin? They are the most famous powerful ministers in history.

Another thing is that he had serious cervical sin at that time. Liu Wei first came to see him and then returned the prince and the left-behind ministers. As a result, he was not worried about his dragon body, but said such words. What is this?

Still saying no need to worry? I wish he could die sooner?

Furthermore, Liu Wei is just a minister of the Huangmen. Although he is also an important member of the left-behind ministers, there are prime ministers like Ma Zhou among the left-behind ministers.

The emperor thought of the conversation he had with Liu Shi before going to war.

Before leaving, Li Shimin specially summoned Gao Shilian, Ma Zhou, Liu Feng and others who were left behind to assist the prince. When he saw Liu Feng, he told him that I am leading troops on an expedition now, and you must assist the prince well. The safety of the country depends on you.

As a result, Liu Shi's answer at that time was that Your Majesty does not need to worry. If the minister is guilty, I will punish him immediately.

Anyway, that means, your husband, please go to Liaodong to fight Goguryeo. I will assist the prince in the rear. If someone in the court dares to do anything randomly, I will never be polite.

The original intention was to reassure the emperor. After all, Yang Guang, the former dynasty, personally conquered Goguryeo, but Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, rebelled in the rear, resulting in the failure of the Liao Dynasty. If someone dared to cause trouble in the court, he would help the emperor destroy him as soon as possible.

This was not comfortable in Li Shimin's ears, because Liu Shi was not the left-behind prime minister. Among the left-behind ministers were Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Wei Zhu, and others. If there was anything in the rear, they should be the ones who were responsible for assisting him.

Li Shimin specially summoned him because Liu Shi had been the Right Chief of Shangshu and showed strong administrative abilities. When he was the Censor, he was also upright and had been the Prince's Palace in the East Palace, so he specifically asked him to help him keep an eye on it.

Who knew that he said this? At that time, Li Shimin specially warned him that if the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers are not secret, he will lose his virginity. Your temperament is sparse, broad and upright, and you should act cautiously.

It would be fine if I had warned this, but now Chu Suiliang has come up with this incident again.

When Liu Shimin said that Liu Shi had visited him on behalf of the prince before, but when he came back, he said something like that to the ministers, Li Shimin believed it all at once, because Liu Shi had said in front of him that anyone who dared to do something randomly would be punished immediately. Now Chu Suiliang said that if the emperor is gone, there is no need to worry. Then he will learn from Huo Guang and Yi Yin to assist the prince in succession, whoever dares to refuse will be killed directly.

These two words are indeed Liu Shi’s style.

The most serious thing is that Chu Suiliang did not hint at the emperor, saying that at that time, many prime ministers such as Wei Zheng, Li Daliang, Chen Shuda, and many other prime ministers died of illness, and the emperor suddenly became seriously ill again. The right servant Gao Shilian was in Luoyang, and the left servant Fang Xuanling was still in Chang'an. The people in the court were panicked, but Liu Shi said this openly, and even sent someone to contact Fang Xuanling in Chang'an in private...

So who is Huo Guang and Yi Yin?

It’s Liu Shi and Fang Xuanling.

More importantly, if the emperor really dies in Tianjin, will Liu Wei help Prince Chengqian ascend the throne? Or will he support Wei Wangtai, whom he had supported before, succeeded to the throne?

Huo Guang was a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han ordered him to be the regent minister of the regent. Huo Guang and three other ministers assisted Emperor Zhao of Han to succeed to the throne. Later, he excluded and suppressed the other three other ministers. After Emperor Zhao of Han died, he had no son. Huo Guang welcomed Emperor Wu of Han, Sun Changyi, King Liu He, as the emperor. As a result, only twenty-seven days later, he deposed him and appointed Liu Bingyi, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, to succeed to Emperor Xuan of Han.

Liu Shi said before that he imitated Yi Yin and Huo Guang, and then Huo Guang later supported Liu He and deposed Liu He. This was definitely not a good thing in Li Shimin's eyes.

Chu Suiliang also said that when Liu Wei came back, he saw the prince and Ma Zhou, he said that he was so ill that the emperor was worried about his condition and that the emperor was in serious condition and was very dangerous.

Then he turned to the other ministers and said that the court's major affairs were not worth worrying. As long as you follow the stories of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, assist the young prince and kill the ministers with two hearts, it would be fine.

Li Shimin had exiled him to the outside because Liu Shi supported the King of Wei, but later summoned him back to the court and gave him important positions. He also felt that Liu Shi was a man who was in a state of integrity and outstanding ability. He criticized him for his vassalty and the past.

But who knew that Li Shimin couldn't help but become suspicious when such a thing happened now.

Liu Shi's rude words were just a trivial matter. The most important thing was whether he really had the intention of abolishing Huo Guang as Chu Suiliang suggested?

Such things are by no means small and cannot be careless.

On the same day, Li Shimin immediately summoned Ma Zhoujin to meet him and personally asked what Liu Wei said to him and the prince after he came back. Ma Zhou confirmed that Liu Wei did say that he was so fast that the sage could worry.

Then the emperor asked again, did Liu Shi tell other ministers that the court's major affairs were not enough to worry about. He just needed to follow the story of Huo Guang and Yi Yin, assist the prince, and kill the ministers of the second heart?

Ma Zhou said truthfully that he had never heard this with his own ears.

Then Han Yuan, the new assistant minister of the Ministry of War, came out to testify, saying that he heard Liu Wei say this in person, and at the same time, he also heard several others such as Liu Shi, a senator of the Secretariat.

The emperors summoned them, and several people confirmed them.

Li Shimin's face was swollen and summoned Xu Luoren.

"You immediately go to the residence of the Huangmen Minister Liu Wei, arrest him in the Hundred Cavalry Prison, and give him poisoned wine to commit suicide!"

"Go quickly!"

Li Shimin didn't want to keep this person for a moment. Since several ministers have confirmed Chu Suiliang's words, it will fully prove that Liu Shi was charged with rebellion.

Xu Luoren was the emperor's confidant and commanded the Baiqisi. After receiving the order, he immediately rushed to Liu Yi's mansion, took Liu Yi away from the study, and took him to the prison established by the Baiqisi, and gave him a pot of poisoned wine.

Liu Wei was stunned.

"Please bring paper and pen, I will report to the saint."

Xu Luoren just shook his head, "Please hurry up and go on the road. The longer this matter is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for your family."

The implication is that if Liu Wei drinks poisonous wine now, there will be too many Liu Wei's family.

Liu Shi couldn't understand, but Xu Luoren just urged him to commit suicide.

"I have to understand!"

Xu Luoren retreated and said slowly to him, "The prince sent Liu Gong to meet the saint. The situation of the saint's dragon body is a secret of the court. You should keep the secret and only tell the prince and the left-behind prime minister, but you spread it everywhere, saying that the saint is in danger. Isn't it because of ulterior motives? What's more, you actually want to be Yi Yin and Huo Guang. Who gives you the power? Not to mention, you have done more excessive things."

"I·······"

"Okay, I won't listen, and I won't reveal a word after listening, let alone give you any paper and pen. You can drink it quickly, don't make it ugly in the end."

Xu Luoren pointed to the sword in his hand, which was the sword given by the emperor.

If Liu Wei refused to drink poisonous wine and committed suicide, then Xu Luoren would use this sword to cut off Liu Wei's head.

"This glass of poisonous wine is the greatest kindness of the saint to you, and he will keep the whole body for you!"

Liu Wei looked at Xu Luoren, and after a long time, he sighed, his hands trembled slightly, and finally raised his head suddenly and took the poisonous wine.

But in a moment, Liu Wei fell to the ground and died, bleeding from his seven orifices.

Xu Luoren looked at the Huangmen Minister who was one step away from the prime minister and could only shake his head.

"The saint has reminded you to be careful of your words and actions, but you don't cherish it yourself."

After waiting for a while, after confirming that Liu Wei was dead, Xu Luoren called someone to restrain Liu Wei's body, and then went back to commit suicide.
