After reading the secret edict, Li Zhi took a deep breath.

When Wei Zichun saw this, he said: "King Yong has received this letter a long time ago. He has written several times to ask the saint not to rely too much on traitors. However, the road was cut off and the government was controlled by Dou Wenyang. According to the secret edict of the Supreme Emperor, King Yong should have

I raised an army to clear the emperor's side, but I cared about the righteousness of brothers and the love between monarch and minister, and always tolerated it. But now the country is in greater crisis..."

"Li Qian?"

"That's right." Wei Zichun nodded, "He was granted the title of prince in the name of the deceased grandson. However, his identity is unknown and he is plotting to usurp. It is not an exaggeration to call him 'Xue Ni'. King Wu, please take a look at this."

Li Zhi looked around and saw a letter in front of him.

When unfolded, the handwriting on the letter paper is straight and smooth, with full ink. It is a beautiful hand in regular script, and it really looks like Xue Bai's handwriting.

In the letter, Xue Bai tried his best to encourage Li Lin to rebel with him, and agreed that whoever enters Guanzhong first would be the emperor and share the country.

"this?!"

Li Zhi looked at it and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe that there were so many conspiracies hidden in the calm situation.

"What does King Yong want?"

"Don't worry." Wei Zichun quickly comforted Li Zhi and said: "King Yong will never collude with Xue Ni, but..."

"Just what?"

"Even the saints were supported by Xue Ni with one hand. Now that Xue Ni has raised his troops to go south, looking at the methods of today's saints, he is afraid that he will hand over the ancestral country to outsiders."

Hearing this, Li Zhi was already confused. He probably already knew that Li Lin's intention was to raise troops to clear the emperor's side.

However, he could no longer distinguish between right and wrong. He couldn't help but ask: "What does King Yong want me to do?"

Wei Zichun's eyes flickered, and he assessed Li Zhi's attitude. He did not immediately recruit Li Zhi to join him in the rebellion, but said: "King Yong sent some righteous men here to eliminate traitors for the country."

"Assassinate Xue Bai?"

"yes."

Li Zhi did not object to this matter and believed that assassinating Xue Bai was the easiest way to solve the crisis in the country.

He planned to resolve this crisis first, and then join forces with King Yong to ask the saint to get rid of Dou Wenyang. In this way, the country might be able to regain stability.

"Okay, I will fully cooperate with you on this matter."

Wei Zichun was overjoyed. As long as Xue Bai died, no matter whether Li Zhi supported King Yong or not, it would be impossible to prevent King Yong from raising an army to seize the throne.

…

Xue Bai was traveling very slowly, as if he was reluctant to go south. He would stay in various counties for a few days. After passing Xiangzhou, he suddenly turned to Huazhou.

It was as if he knew that Li Zhi was going to cooperate with Li Lin in assassinating him, so he sent it here specially.

Li Zhi and Wei Zichun were both a little panicked, but they quickly reacted and immediately arranged for envoys to greet Xue Bai.
