In the inn, the moonlight was hazy, shining through the half-opened window onto the faces of An Lushan and Li Bai. They sat facing each other, their expressions calm but with a sharp glint in their eyes. After a deep conversation the previous night, they were more determined to expose the corruption within the court and seek benefits for the people. 0
 
"Brother Taibai, today we must be careful in our actions," An Lushan said softly, gently caressing the teacup in his hand. 0
 
Li Bai nodded, his gaze intense. " brother An, rest assured, I have a plan. Although those powerful statesmen have great influence, they are not invincible. As long as we seize the right opportunity and cleverly leverage our strength, we can surely defeat them in one fell swoop." 0
 
 
While they were talking, there were faint footsteps outside the door. The two looked at each other, and An Lushan quickly got up, walked to the door, and looked outside through the crack in the door. They saw a plainclothes man holding a confidential letter, looking around. An Lushan's heart stirred, he gently opened the door and welcomed the man in. The man saw An Lushan and Li Bai, and quickly bowed, saying, "Two gentlemen, I am here to deliver a letter on behalf of my master." An Lushan took the confidential letter, opened it, and showed a surprised expression on his face. Li Bai, seeing this, quickly asked, " brother An, what does the letter say?" 0
 
 
An Lushan handed the secret letter to Li Bai and said in a low voice, "This is a letter from a righteous official in the court. He found out that we are investigating the crimes of a powerful statesman and specially sent this secret letter to inform us of an important clue." 0
 
Li Bai unfolded the secret letter, quickly glanced through it, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Great! This official is truly our timely help! With this clue, we will be able to more smoothly expose the crimes of those powerful statesmen." 0
 
It turns out that the clue mentioned in the letter is about an envoy who is about to arrive in the capital. This envoy is an important figure from a neighboring country and holds a lot of evidence about the powerful statesman colluding with foreign enemies. As long as we can successfully bring this envoy into the palace and present the evidence to the emperor, the crimes of those powerful statesmen will be exposed. 0
 
 
However, problems followed. The envoy was ambushed by the henchmen of a powerful statesman on his way to the capital. Although the envoy managed to escape, he was seriously injured and unable to personally enter the palace to meet the emperor. 0
 
" brother An, what should we do?" Li Bai asked with a furrowed brow, full of worry. 0
 
An Lushan pondered for a moment, then a glint of insight flashed in his eyes. "Taibai brother, I have a plan. We can use the envoy's injuries to create a false impression, making the emperor believe that the envoy has been killed. Then, we can secretly arrange for a reliable person to impersonate the envoy and present the evidence to the emperor." 0
 
 
Li Bai Upon hearing this, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face: " brother An, this plan is truly ingenious! In this way, those powerful statesmen will have no way to refute it." 0
 
The two of them finalized their discussion and immediately began to take action. They first sent someone to secretly assist the injured envoy and placed him in a safe location. Then, they selected a young official with wisdom and bravery and rigorously trained him to perfectly impersonate the envoy. 0
 
After some twists and turns, the day finally arrived for the impersonator to enter the palace. The imperial palace was heavily guarded, but the two of them had already made thorough preparations. They arranged for a capable team to secretly protect the impersonating official, ensuring that he could enter the palace smoothly. 0
 
 
On the grand hall of the imperial palace, the emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his gaze piercing. An official disguised as an envoy approached, holding evidence, and ascended the steps to the hall. Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, he knelt before the emperor and raised the evidence high. 0
 
"Your Majesty! I have urgent matters to report!" the official exclaimed loudly. 0
 
The emperor nodded slightly, signaling for him to rise and speak. The official stood up, presented the evidence one by one, and detailed the crimes of the powerful statesman colluding with foreign enemies. 0
 
 
The emperor, furious upon hearing this, immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. After a series of inquiries and evidence gathering, the crimes of the powerful statesmen were finally fully exposed. In his great anger, the emperor dismissed and punished all those powerful statesmen, exiling them to the borderlands as a deterrent. The foreign enemies who colluded with them also received appropriate punishment. 0
 
Upon hearing the news, the people of the capital rejoiced. They praised An Lushan and Li Bai as heroes who rid the court of harm and sought the well-being of the people. Their positions in the court became even more secure as a result. 0
 
However, An Lushan and Li Bai were not satisfied. They knew that corruption and darkness still existed within the court and needed their continued efforts to expose and eliminate. So, they continued their deep investigations and evidence gathering, tirelessly striving for the clarity of the court and the well-being of the people. 0
 
 
"TaibaiBrother, although we have achieved a victory today, the road ahead is still long," An Lushan said, gazing at the bright moonlight outside the window with emotion. 0
 
Li Bai nodded firmly, "What brother An said is true. As long as we have the well-being of the people and the court in our hearts, we have nothing to fear. Although the road ahead is long and difficult, I believe we can go further and higher." 0
 
They smiled at each other, filled with anticipation and hope for the future. They knew that as long as they persevered, the clarity of the court and the well-being of the people would eventually come. They would also become an indispensable part of this history, forever remembered and celebrated by future generations. 0
