Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Li Keyong walked up to Zhu Wen and smiled calmly: "Zhu Wen, tell me, why did you choose this Tongtian Bagua formation?"

Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment, then showed a bitter smile, "I just wanted to test your wisdom and courage, I didn't expect you to really find a way to crack it."

Li Keyong's smile became brighter, "Zhu Wen, next time you want to test me, please fight me directly, why do you need to set up such a formation?"

When Li Keyong returned home with hatred for Zhu Wen. Seeing Li Keyong's solemn expression, Liu immediately noticed her husband's uneasiness.

"Li Keyong, you look uneasy, what happened?" Liu asked with concern, she knew that her husband had an unspeakable anger hidden deep in his heart.

Li Keyong pondered for a moment, and told his wife about his hatred for Zhu Wen for many years, hoping that she could understand his belief in pursuing justice.

"My husband, this grudge is too deep to understand, but the past is the past after all, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Liu comforted softly, she hoped that her husband could let it go and live a peaceful life.

Li Keyong listened to his wife's advice and gradually let go of his hatred for Zhu Wen, but he did not eliminate the idea of ​​justice in his heart. He repeatedly submitted memorials to the court, exposing Zhu Wen's crimes, hoping that the court could deal with it fairly and give the people a clear society.

However, the court's reply made Li Keyong feel disappointed and helpless. Every time he submitted a memorial, he was replied to consider the overall situation and was unwilling to intervene too much in Zhu Wen's affairs to avoid causing greater turmoil.

Faced with the court's cold attitude, Li Keyong began to secretly doubt whether the court was secretly supporting Zhu Wen. He felt dissatisfied and doubtful in his heart, thinking that he and the court had become a feud.

In the dead of night, Li Keyong thought about the court's inaction alone, and he felt powerless and helpless. Perhaps, he has been in the political vortex, facing not only personal grievances, but also power games and conspiracy disturbances.

The cautious attitude of the court made Li Keyong have deeper doubts and struggles about his position. He understood that the road of politics is not a simple and smooth road, but more twists and turns. He must remain vigilant and respond to changes with constancy.

Li Keyong stood in front of the window, looking at the starry night sky. He clenched his fists, and his brows showed a firm determination.

"The court has indeed colluded with Zhu Wen for a long time and is unwilling to investigate his crimes!" Li Keyong gritted his teeth secretly, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stared at the moonlight outside the window and quickly deduced the truth of the matter in his mind.

"Perhaps... the court protects Zhu Wen because they have greater interests behind them." Li Keyong muttered softly, and a gloomy smile passed from the corner of his lips.

He thought of the power struggle within the court, where various forces fought openly and secretly for more benefits. Perhaps he became a thorn in the eyes of some forces, who were willing to protect Zhu Wen only because they saw their common enemy.people.

"Since the court is like this, I can't retreat!" Li Keyong clenched his fists tightly, determined to unveil all this.

He began to investigate the political structure within the court, trying to find those forces that might support Zhu Wen behind the scenes.

As the investigation deepened, Li Keyong gradually discovered some clues. He collected intelligence from various channels and analyzed the interests of various forces.

"Sure enough, there are undercurrents hidden in the court that I don't know about." Li Keyong thought secretly in his heart, and he felt the breath of power and fraud.

But he was not discouraged, but more alert and determined. He decided to use his wisdom and courage to reveal all these conspiracies one by one.

Li Keyong began to secretly contact some officials and powerful people who were dissatisfied with Zhu Wen, hoping to gather a force to help each other in times of trouble.

"Everyone, although we come from different backgrounds, we all have a common goal - to uncover the dark deal between the court and Zhu Wen." Li Keyong's eloquence was flexible and vivid, winning the trust and support of everyone.

Everyone discussed how to break the alliance between the court and Zhu Wen and create enough pressure for the court to face up to their requests.

"We need to have more evidence to make the collusion between the court and Zhu Wen public." An official proposed, with a challenging light flashing in his eyes.

"That's right! Only by revealing the truth can they have nowhere to escape!" Li Keyong nodded in praise, exuding an indestructible momentum.

So, Li Keyong and his allies launched a painstaking reasoning and investigation. They started from all angles, looking for clues that could penetrate the shadow of the court.

After a long period of investigation and analysis, they finally created a complete system of evidence to prove the private collusion between the court and Zhu Wen.

Li Keyong was ready to present the evidence to the court, so that those dark forces would have nowhere to hide.

Finally, he got the chance. At a court meeting, Li Keyong vowed to make decisions for the people and called on the court to face up to the truth he revealed.

"Son of Heaven, this evidence is undoubtedly heavy! We can no longer be bound by conspiracy!" Li Keyong said solemnly, his voice resounding throughout the meeting hall.

The emperor frowned, and after a moment of silence, he ordered a thorough investigation of the crimes of Zhu Wen and his supporters, and would never tolerate any corruption and greed.

For a time, the court was turbulent, and the flames of power struggle were rekindled.

Li Keyong was appointed as a special envoy, responsible for presiding over the review of the case and investigating the guilt. His perseverance and wisdom impressed everyone.

With Li Keyong's efforts, the power of the monopoly of the rich and powerful in the court gradually weakened, and the purification of the Qing court gradually unfolded.

"Finally, justice triumphed over darkness!" Li Keyong was filled with emotion. He knew that this was just the beginning and there were more struggles waiting for him.

After exposing Zhu Wen's crimes, the court decided to confer him the title of Long Xijun King in order to appease Li Keyong, granting him glory and honor.

"Prince Li Xijun, this time the emperor personally conferred the title, you should accept it." The court envoy respectfully handed over the conferment document, hoping to appease Li Keyong's inner dissatisfaction.

Li Keyong took the conferment document, but there was no joy on his face, but he looked depressed and unspeakable, "I am devoted to the country today. The jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards that harm the people need to be punished. Now I am troubled by the title, and I feel ashamed of the people."

The court's actions did not achieve the effect that Li Keyong expected. He valued justice and fairness more. This false name and glory could not make up for his distrust of the court.

Li Keyong's persistence made the Li and Zhu families become enemies and confront each other.

"Li Keyong, you exposed Zhu Wen's crimes, but ignored the court's appreciation of you. It is really a lack of courtesy to the wise." The representatives of the Li and Zhu families looked gloomy and expressed dissatisfaction with Li Keyong.

"The Li and Zhu families have always been scheming against each other and only care about their own interests. If I hadn't come forward to protect the court, I'm afraid they would have already brought chaos to the people." Li Keyong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

The conflict between the two families became increasingly intensified, and they argued with each other and it was difficult to compromise.
