The problem that Yang Zhao suddenly thought of was that the emperor must have known about this matter, so he could no longer conceal it, and he had to enter the palace immediately and report the matter to avoid suspicion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yang Taifu, Your Majesty summons."

Soon, someone came to the palace and asked Yang Zhao to face you.

Yang Zhao felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly made simple preparations, and went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty."

"What's going on with the Assassins' investigation, there's an update."

Li Longji asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, there has been progress yesterday, Wechen sent people to keep an eye on the medical halls and pharmacies inside and outside the capital, and the hiding places of the assassins have been discovered, in order not to startle the snakes, Wechen did not act rashly, but let them continue to monitor these assassins."

Yang Zhao replied truthfully.

"There was progress yesterday, why don't you report to me immediately?"

Li Longji was a little dissatisfied.

"Weichen felt that there was not much progress, and wanted to see who they were in contact with, so as to find out more people, so he didn't report it immediately, Your Majesty forgives you."

Yang Zhao explained.

"Oh, yes, there's an update today."

"Your Majesty, early this morning, six assassins left their hiding place and went to the Ten Kings' Mansion......"

Yang Zhao knew that the Ten Kings Mansion had Li Longji's eyes and ears, so he naturally didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and told all the facts.

When Li Longji heard this, he suddenly realized, he received a report early in the morning and learned about the abnormal situation of the Ten Princes' Mansion, but those ears and eyes didn't understand what was going on, so they could only report it according to the truth, and after Yang Zhao's explanation, Li Longji suddenly understood something.

"How many people know about this?"

Li Longji looked at Yang Zhao with a serious expression, and a fierce murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wechen has strictly ordered that no one should leak the slightest, and those who currently know about this matter are not only Wechen and Your Majesty, but also several bad people in charge of this case."

Yang Zhaocheng responded with fear.

"Continue to monitor and don't divulge to anyone."

Li Longji said with an angry face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, however, the Ten Princes' Mansion is not an ordinary place, and Weichen is afraid that there will be some misunderstanding."

"You just have to do it, I will arrange the rest of the things, go down!"

After Yang Zhao left, Li Longji paced back and forth in the main hall, and fell into deep thought, whether the assassin contacted the kings, does this mean that the assassin's assassination is related to his several princes, but there is no conclusive evidence at the moment, so naturally he can't arrest people casually, but his suspicion has already put these sons into the ranks of rebels.

He is old, but he is still alive, and as long as he has not lost his breath, he is not willing to lose the power in his hands, and he will never tolerate betrayal.

For several days, the peasants disguised as assassins would go to the Ten Kings' Mansion to make a sneaky appearance, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like some kind of conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, it's been four days in a row, and these assassins have been running towards the Ten Kings' Mansion without any other action."

Yang Zhao would go to the palace every day to report the situation and listen to the instructions for the next step.

"Don't act rashly, go down!"

Li Longji was also helpless, he had been hesitating how to deal with this matter.

He had already killed three of his sons in order to consolidate his authority, and now he was saddened by the sudden emergence of six of his sons in collusion with the Assassins.

The words of the two assassins stabbed him deeply, and he began to doubt himself, and he suspected that his injustice to the deposed prince and the king of Shou had attracted the envy of the other princes.

But after all, he is the monarch's father, and even if the princes are dissatisfied with him, they should not collude with the assassins and kill him.

When he thought of these six rebels, he was sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes sighing, and sometimes taking pictures, and his heart was mixed.

"Spread the decree, King Xuanqing, King Yong, King Yan, King Sheng, King Xin, King Chen, immediately enter the palace to meet you."

Li Longji couldn't hold back a little and issued a holy decree.

Soon, the six people of King Qing entered the palace and waited outside the Zichen Palace.

"I don't know what happened when my father announced that we would enter the palace?"

While waiting outside the hall, King Qing Li Tan spoke first.

"Your Majesty has just been assassinated, so it won't have anything to do with this matter!"

"Crow's mouth, we are princes, what do we have to do with the Assassins?"

"Why don't there be any other brothers, just our six princes."

Several princes talked lightly, and they didn't know why the emperor had summoned them.

"Everyone, King Qing, they have all arrived."

Colliers reminded.

"Let them in."

Li Longji made a straight face and gave his will.

King Qing and a few people entered the Zichen Palace, kneeling and saluting Li Longji: "Sons and ministers see their father." ”

"Get up!"

Li Longji waved his hand and carefully observed the expressions of several princes.

"You all know about my assassination a few days ago, but how did the assassins know the exact date of my departure, what do you think?"

Li Longji asked.

"Spies, there must be spies in the palace who leaked the whereabouts of their father to the assassins, so that these assassins were prepared."

"Father, the son thinks the same, you can start the investigation from the person who knows the father's travel plan, and you will definitely be able to find out the traitor."

Li Longji smiled faintly: "You also think there is a mole around me?" It must have been a bad job for me, so that everyone around me has a rebellious heart, don't you say! ”

"My father is wise and martial, and he is a wise monarch through the ages."

The six princes suddenly felt a tense atmosphere, they looked at each other, and suddenly felt that they were being suspected by their father.

"You are all my emperors, what kind of father do you think I am, and have I done a lot of things that make you feel cold?"

Li Longji said lightly.

"Father, the son doesn't dare."

The six of them suddenly became more nervous, and their father's state was very similar to the situation when the three abolished princes were executed, which made them nervous and knelt down.

"Don't dare, that's a good point, but I don't dare, but I still resent me in my heart?"

Li Longji's voice was very small, as if he was talking to himself.

The six princes suddenly became more nervous, and they didn't dare to breathe in fright, they obviously didn't do anything, but they were going to suffer this unwarranted disaster, but they didn't dare to explain rashly.

"I know that I have done something wrong, but I am your father, and I love you."

Li Longji's tone softened a lot.

"Father, the sons are loyal to you, and there will never be two hearts, and the father must not listen to the words of the villain."

King Qing was the first to explain.

After making trouble for so long, no matter how stupid they are, they understand that the emperor suspects them, and they are really wronged in their hearts.

"Father, the sons will never dare to have the slightest rebellion, and the sons have always been loyal to their fathers."

"Father must not listen to the villain's slander, and the son has never been dissatisfied with his father."

"My father has never treated his sons badly, how can my sons be dissatisfied."

Several princes hurriedly expressed their loyalty, and their expressions were sincere without a trace of hypocrisy.

Li Longji looked at a few princes and said softly: "What are you doing here, I came to you just to chat and talk about feelings, I have said that you are disloyal, get up, get up!" ”

"Thank you, Father."

The six princes stood up and thanked him, their expressions still a little nervous.

After chatting casually for a while, Li Longji waved his hand and asked the six princes to return to their respective mansions.

"Is it really to blame?"

Li Longji always felt that the performance of the six princes just now was very good, which made him very satisfied, and he couldn't see that they had the intention of rebelling at all, and at the same time, he didn't believe that these princes would collude to deal with him.

But what happened to entering their mansion at this moment, this still needs to be investigated.

Fortunately, there are also eyeliners in the palaces, and as long as they use their strength, they can find out what is going on.

Soon, Li Longji issued an order to make the eyes of the princes move, and carefully investigate the daily behavior of the princes to see if they were really related to the assassins.

Not far from the Ten Princes' Mansion, Tashi Zan had a meeting with his Assassins, and the Emperor had summoned the six princes, who had already learned about it, and began to take the next step.

"What should we do next?"

Tashi Zan looked at the six Assassins and said, "Are you willing to sacrifice your lives for Zampu?" ”

"Yes, we are very willing, what to do, you say!"

Tashi Zan was overjoyed and said, "The six of you are going to assassinate these six princes at night, and I have prepared a letter, so you can put it in your arms." ”

"Okay, we're willing to die for Zamp."

Tashi Zan was satisfied: "Alright, you guys go and prepare!" The operation began tonight, and the others were ready to evacuate tonight. ”

"Yes."

At nightfall, Tashi Zan and all his subordinates were ready to set off at any time.

"The six of you leave all the murder weapons behind and go empty-handed."

Tashi Zan ordered.

"Why? How can the assassination be carried out without a murder weapon. ”

The six Assassins expressed great incomprehension.

"Stabbing? Do you think it was a real assassination? It is to ask you to bring letters to meet those princes, but you are wearing night clothes, and after being discovered by the guards, they will definitely treat you as assassins and try to arrest you, and once you resist, you will be killed on the spot. ”

Tashi Zan said coldly.

"Yes, we get it."

"Alright, you guys start moving immediately, the rest of you follow me into the secret passage, this place has been exposed, let's evacuate here and go to another stronghold to settle down."

Tashizan said.

The Assassins quickly went into action, and died in the palace as expected.

Near the main hall of King Qing's Mansion, looking at the assassin who was killed, the guards were dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately reported to King Qing Li Tan.

Li Tan was called by the emperor to the palace to talk, his heart was up and down, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he heard all the movements in the mansion, and he heard it clearly.

"Something happened."

Li Tan was very annoyed, so he put on a dress and walked out.

"Ah Lang, an assassin broke in just now, and he has been killed by the guards, and the body is next to the main hall."

The valet of the palace reported.

"Let's go, go over and have a look."

Li Tan's heart was up and down, and he walked to the front yard with his clothes on.

"It's this assassin, the one lying on the ground."

The manservant pointed to the man in black on the ground.

"Assassin, who will send it? Who is going to kill this king? ”

Li Tan's heart was suddenly very confused, he was just called by his father to talk during the day, and he encountered an assassin at night, which made him very puzzled, however, he didn't think that his father sent an assassin, because it was completely unnecessary, the emperor wanted to kill his son, where did he need to go to such great lengths, a glass of imperial wine was enough.

The king told the minister to die, the minister had to die, the father told the son to die, the son had to die, Li Longji was both the king and the father, so it was too easy to let his son die, and there was no need to do it at all.

"Ah Lang, why didn't the assassin bring a weapon, it still looks a little familiar."

The valet glanced at the assassin and chuckled.

"The assassin didn't have a weapon, so how should he assassinate him?"

"Ah Lang, the assassin did not bring a weapon, and after he was discovered by us, he fought with his bare hands and was killed by us."

The guard said truthfully.

Li Tan looked at the manservant and asked, "You said that this assassin is a little familiar, have you seen it somewhere?" ”

The manservant looked at it carefully for a long time, nodded and said, "Ah Lang, isn't this the farmer who has delivered vegetables to the mansion these days, how can he be an assassin?" ”

"What kind of vegetable delivery farmer, what the hell is going on?"

Li Tan was furious, he suddenly felt that he had been set up, yes, this is how he felt.

"Ah Lang, a few days ago, this person sent a large handful of green vegetables, the price is cheap and fair, and the dishes are also very fresh, how many days have they been delivered? People are also very kind, how can they be assassins? ”

The manservant couldn't accept it for a while.

"For no reason, how can there be such a good farmer, and what has he done since he entered the house? Your 1510 explanation, do not miss a trace of detail. ”

Li Tan's heart was furious, and he always felt that there was some conspiracy enveloping him.

The manservant naturally didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, so he introduced everything the assassin in front of him did one by one, without letting go of any details.

"I actually stay for half an hour every time, you cheap slave, how can you let a stranger stay in the palace for so long, bastard."

Li Tan finally understood why his father summoned him during the day, and said so many inexplicable words, it turned out to be related to the lingering assassin, and as long as he thought about it, he could think that the assassin who was killed must be the group of assassins who assassinated the emperor a few days ago.

And this group of assassins ran to their mansion without any trouble, obviously in order to blame themselves and involve themselves in the assassination of the emperor, so as to achieve their own goals.

But who is it? Who has such a big grudge against himself wants to frame himself.

Li Tan's heart was furious, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't sleep at all this night.

In addition to Li Tan's Qingwang Mansion, the same situation also occurred in the other five palaces, and these five princes naturally couldn't sleep, and they all trembled and waited for the arrival of the day.

Early the next morning, as soon as the bell and drum sounded, the six Qingwang hurried to the palace, they had to take the initiative to explain all the circumstances that could be explained, in order to clear the suspicion as much as possible.
