Three days later, Xiang Nan and Pei Zhao came to the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city to greet Gao Xian.
?This time, eight people went to Beijing to deliver the files. The remaining eight people were intercepted and killed by Li Chengye''s dead soldiers on the way.
??Only Gao Xian himself broke through the siege and arrived safely outside the city of Shangjing.
?After the two of them waited in the bamboo forest for a while, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and then saw a horse galloping towards them.
?The man on the horse covered his face with a black gauze, which he took off only when he got close to the front.
As soon as Xiang Nan saw it, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Cousin Gao Xian, you are finally here!"
"Cheng Yin, I risked death to send you this file!" Gao Xian glanced at Pei Zhao in front of Xiang Nan and said immediately.
Xiang Nan knew that he was asking for credit and quickly said, "The Gao family''s kindness will never be forgotten by Cheng Yin!"
"Okay! When you become the prince, remember what you said!" Gao Xian heard this and said with satisfaction, then threw the package with the file to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan took it with one hand. At the same time, he raised his empty fingers and injected a stream of true energy into Gao Xian''s body.
He knew that after defeating Li Chengye, he would ascend to the position of prince.
At that time, the Gao family, who were originally allies, will become his opponents.
On the one hand, Li Fu would not allow his heir to become a puppet of the Gao family, and Xiang Nan would not allow himself to become a puppet of the Gao family;
On the one hand, the Gao family would not allow the prince they had managed to support to actually stand against them. Therefore, the political struggle in the future will still be very cruel and bloody.
The general of Zhenyuan, Gao Xian, played a decisive role in the Gao family.
?? Gao Xian guarded the western border and held military power. With an army of 100,000, he was a great threat to the imperial court. If he defected and counterattacked, uniting the countries in the western region to attack Toyoto, it would bring immeasurable losses to Toyoto.
In the play, when Gao Ming was impeached due to the imperial examination case, Gao Xian asked Shuo Bo soldiers to capture several Fongchao border towns overnight, forcing Li Fu to give in.
Therefore, getting rid of Gao Xian is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Gao family, which will definitely cause heavy losses to the Gao family. It also eliminated a hidden danger for Xiang Nan himself.
…
After getting Batur’s file, Xiang Nan and Pei Zhao immediately rushed to the palace.
At this moment, a large group of men in black suddenly appeared from all directions and attacked the two of them.
As soon as Xiang Nan saw them, he and Pei Zhao immediately started fighting with them.
?It has been nearly a year since Xiang Nan crossed over. His internal strength has already reached its peak, and his martial arts is close to perfection.
It is naturally enough to deal with these killers.
He wields a sword with his right hand and fingers with his left hand. No one can be his enemy.
In an instant, dozens of men in black were all strangled to death.
"Don''t fight, get on the horse!" Xiang Nan immediately said to Pei Zhao when he saw that there were men in black arriving.
Pei Zhao nodded, and the two of them immediately mounted their horses and galloped all the way to the palace.
?Although King Zhong has sent people to guard the nine gates, Xiang Nan is the prince after all. Unless the emperor has an order, how can anyone else dare to do anything against him.
?Therefore, when the soldiers guarding the city gate saw Xiang Nan and Pei Zhao approaching at great speed, they did not dare to stop them and had to let them pass.
Xiang Nan then ran all the way to the palace. He didn''t even have time to change his clothes, and without wiping the blood off his body, he went straight to Li Fu''s case.
Li Hao couldn''t help but be startled when he saw Xiang Nan covered in blood.
??Then he opened Batur''s file and took out the portrait.
Li Fu was not surprised when he saw that the person in the portrait was completely different from the person Li Fu escorted to Beijing.
?He knew a long time ago that Batur, whom Li Min escorted to Beijing, was fake. But at that time, the war with Dan Chi was imminent, and he also wanted to support Li Chengye to rise to power, so he knew that Batur was fake and that there was a real culprit in the assassination of the prince, but he still suppressed the matter.
?But now, he can no longer cover it up.
At first, Li Chengye was already crazy. Not only did he kill his eldest brother, he also wanted to kill his fifth brother. If he continues to cover up, he will be killed next;
Secondly, Xiang Nan''s intelligence, courage, and perseverance in this matter also allowed him to see the potential of a prince. He believed that a person with such ability would not stay under others for a long time.
It is definitely not that simple for Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang to control him. Therefore, Li Hao is no longer worried that Xiang Nan will become a puppet of the Gao family in the future.
So he had the intention to support Xiang Nan to ascend to power.
"Xuan''a''du goes to the palace. I want her to identify who is the real Batur." Li Fu immediately ordered.
Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that Li Su was really determined to get rid of Li Chengye. Otherwise, he could just pretend to be confused like before. You can even burn Batur''s portrait in front of Xiang Nan.
…
??Xiang Nan brought Batur''s files to the palace, but he failed to hide the fact that Li Chengye and Li Min were the spies in the palace.
After Li Min learned about it, he immediately found Li Chengye and saw that he was still pruning flowers and trees leisurely. He couldn''t help but be surprised, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Can you bear it?!"
"Being impatient is the last step. Do you want to take the last step?" Li Chengye said quietly.
“So we can only wait now?” Li Min asked in confusion.
"We are waiting, but we are not waiting to make fish on the chopping board, but we are waiting for the opportunity." Li Chengye put down the scissors, looked at Li Min and said, "What a pity for the beautiful flowers in this garden!"
…
?At the same time, Pei Zhao also invited A''Du over.
"A''du, you just need to identify which one of these ten portraits is Batur." He explained.
Batur’s portrait was sent by Gao Xian, and the Gao family may have cheated on the portrait. Pei Zhao was Xiang Nan''s companion, and his confession is also questionable.
?Only A''Du is neutral and has hatred against Xiang Nan, Pei Zhao, Gao Xian, and Li Chengye, so he will not favor any side. Therefore, her confession is the most trustworthy.
?After Adu went to the temple, he quickly found the real portrait of Batur among the ten portraits, which was the one Gao Xian sent up.
?Ever since she knew that Li Chengye poisoned Qu Xiaofeng, she sentenced Li Chengye to death in her heart.
?Although Li Hao had expected it, he still sighed after it happened.
"Father, my son and I suggest that Li Min be brought to trial immediately." Xiang Nan then bowed and said.
Li Hao nodded.
By this time, it is no longer possible to do good.
He gave Li Chengye a chance, but Li Chengye''s performance made him extremely disappointed.
?Assassinated the prince, misappropriated Buddhist bronzes, minted copper coins privately, poisoned the nine princesses, framed the fifth brother, raised dead soldiers, intercepted and killed the prince... If he continued to let it go, it would not be unusual for him to kill his father and usurp the throne one day.
He no longer wants to keep such a son.
Immediately, the attendants went to arrest Li Min with the imperial edict.
?At the same time, Li Chengye and Li Min also entered the palace with Chang''s army and the dead soldiers they had raised.
??The so-called dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, Li Chengye no longer cares about much.
