In Yin Guanghao's letter, he said a very serious thing - not long after Li You left Chang'an, Li Chengqian's foot disease was committed. At first, I just felt some pain in my feet, but then it became more and more serious, and the hospital tried its best, but there was no improvement. So much so that it has recently affected his normal walking.

In the original historical trajectory, Li Chengqian walked with a limp after committing a foot disease, and as a prince, he was inevitably pointed at. A strong sense of inferiority is generated. From then on, he became suspicious, always thinking that someone was laughing at him. Since then, the personality has become very perverse. Then he sank step by step, and finally came to a dead end.

The reason why Li Tai refused to leave Chang'an was that when he saw that Li Chengqian had undergone such a big change, his heart began to stir again. Li Shimin's attitude also began to change, and he was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's behavior and had doubts about whether he could inherit the reunification in the future. Therefore, there is no longer any objection to Li Tai's stay in Chang'an.

Now is a critical moment in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and what pirates and what great navigation plans have become insignificant compared to this matter.

Therefore, Li You must return to Chang'an immediately.

After receiving a letter from Chang'an, Li You wrote a letter and asked the magpie to be sent to Chang'an urgently and handed over to Yin Guanghao.

Subsequently, Li You seized the time to talk to Lu Tong, Gongsun Deguang, Changsun Shunde, Di Zhixun and others, and asked them to act according to the predetermined plan.

Then, he took Zhang Guigui, Xue Rengui and others by land, Xiao Wanyu, Sun Simiao and others by water, set off overnight, and went straight to Chang'an.

Chang'an City, East Palace.

Li Chengqian sat on the bed in the dormitory, his face pale, thinking about his thoughts in a daze.

Li Dezhi came in to report: "Your Highness, the eldest grandson is here. ”

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, limped out of the dormitory, and came to the outer reception room.

After saluting, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness, you haven't been to the court for three consecutive days, Your Majesty is a little angry. ”

Li Chengqian said weakly: "Uncle, my feet are very uncomfortable, and I can't stand it after standing in the court for a long time." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Highness, the minister sees that you are still sick, do your feet really hurt to the point where you can't stand?" You are the crown prince, to be able to endure what others can't bear, you ......"

Li Chengqian's favorite sentence to hear is "You are the crown prince, how should you be." ”

"Uncle, don't talk about it." Li Chengqian said dissatisfied.

Li Chengqian was really discouraged. Li Tai stayed in Chang'an under the pretext of recuperating from illness, and depending on Li Shimin's intentions, I am afraid that he does not plan to let Li Tai leave again. Moreover, Li Shimin vigorously tracked down the person who assassinated Li Tai, and wanted to stand up for Li Tai, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Li Chengqian. It is clear that he does not trust Li Chengqian.

As the first emperor of the ages, Li Shimin is wise and martial, and he is a rare great figure. However, he is not a god, but also a man, and if he is a man, he has his weaknesses. His biggest problem is the mistake of educating his children. And the biggest point of this is the doting on Li Tai. Doting on Li Tai means being unfair to other children, especially causing great pressure on Li Chengqian, the crown prince.

In the past few days, Li Chengqian has endured pain every day and limped to the court, and Li Shimin has not only cared for two sentences. Even if there is no other indication. Moreover, regarding Li Chengqian's foot disease, Li Shimin lived so close to the East Palace that he did not go to visit him in person once.

Li Tai lives outside the palace, and since his leg was injured, Li Shimin has personally visited him three times.

is the same son, why is the gap so big? Can you not let Li Chengqian have an idea?

Li You traveled day and night, and finally returned to Chang'an.

Qi Wangfu.

Yin Hongzhi saw that Li You was back, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, you are the governor of Yangzhou, and now you are a feudal official, without Your Majesty's will, you just run back like this, I am worried that Your Majesty will have ideas." ”

Li You said with a smile: "The people take food as the sky, no, what a big deal." I am not only the governor of Yangzhou, but also the president of the research institute, and the host of the Northwest Frontier Affairs Bureau. Why can't you come back? ”

Yin Hongzhi said: "However, the ocean-going fleet has not yet set off, and the matter of the eldest grandson Shunde has not yet been completed, and you are coming back like this, which will inevitably make people have ideas." ”

Li You smiled: "Okay, uncle, don't worry about these idleness." Tell me about the situation in the court. ”

Yin Hongzhi reported to Li You in detail the situation since Li Chengqian's foot disease.

The general situation is that Li Chengqian has become a little decadent, Li Tai has stayed in Chang'an, and those who think Li Tai can make a comeback have begun to move closer to him again or brightly. Those who opposed Li Tai were very worried about Li Tai's retaliation in the future. The atmosphere in the court was very depressing and abnormal.

Then, Yin Guanghao reported to Li You what he knew. He said: "Brother You, after receiving your letter, I immediately launched an investigation. You're absolutely right. This matter is really related to the person named Zhu Wei, he also has a sworn brother, named Wang Kemin, who is now serving as an anti-theft envoy (equivalent to the captain of the criminal police) in Weinan.

I have secretly investigated, and this person was not in Weinan City during the two days of Li Tai's assassination, nor did he leave on business. ”

In Li You's historical materials, originally when Li Shimin ordered the adult prince to leave Chang'an for the first time, Concubine Yang pretended to be sick, and Li Ke stayed in Chang'an in the name of taking care of his mother. Li Tai was injured by Zhu Yi with a hammer, so he also stayed in Chang'an.

Now history has changed, and when Li Tai was assassinated this time, Zhu Yi was protecting him on the side. However, Li You thought that this matter must be related to him, so he asked Yin Guanghao to investigate him secretly.

Now, Li You is basically sure that this matter is related to Zhu Wei's brother Wang Kemin.

It is said that in such a situation, Ma Xuanliang's hundred cavalry divisions should also be able to find out. However, there are two problems here, one is that Li Shimin is wise and martial, and he will not be stupid enough not to guess that Li Tai may use bitter meat tricks to achieve the goal of staying in Chang'an. The reason why he wanted to arrest the assassin with great fanfare was actually to give Li Tai another step. Therefore, Ma Xuanliang made a serious fuss on the surface, but in fact, he was thundering and raining, and he didn't really make efforts to investigate.

Second, Li Tai instructed Zhu Ji to attack him, this matter is extremely secretive, and the people who know about this matter, except for Li Tai and Zhu Ji, probably only Wang Kemin knows. Therefore, this matter is really difficult to trace.

Li You thought about it carefully and said, "Li Tai is a nasty cockroach, and he is really a crooked thing, so he must be completely killed this time." Since he is shameless. Let's not be polite, just give him a ruthless blow, so that he can't even be the king of the county, and he must get out of Chang'an immediately. ”

Yin Guanghao said: "Brother You, what do you say to do?" ”

Li You said: "First take down Wang Kemin, and get evidence of Li Tai's bitter plan from him." And then again. ”

After speaking, Li You shouted, "White Tiger." ”

The white tiger came in and said, "Lord Wang, what do you command?" ”

Li You said: "You go and find me Gao Henian." ”

Yin Guanghao asked puzzledly: "With Xue Rengui and their special combat team, can't you do this?" ”

Li You said: "No, before getting the evidence, the kidnapping of Wang Kemin was not authorized by the government, it was a private act." The special operations team is the army of the country, and they cannot be involved in such a thing. This matter is best resolved in the name of the rivers and lakes. ”

Yin Hongzhi heard this and praised: "Your Highness, you are thinking about things more and more thoughtfully. ”

Weinan City.

Baihualou is the largest green building in Weinan City, after dinner that day, the old bustard saw a stout man coming in from outside the door, she hurriedly greeted him and said, "Oh, isn't this Lord Wang?" You haven't been here in days. ”
