Chapter 185: The Next Second Target?
Chai Shao came to the prince's mansion, but saw that many ministers had gathered in the mansion, and they gathered in the lobby, all of them waiting anxiously.
Not long after, Li Chengqian came to the lobby, and the courtiers took their seats after saluting.
A minister said: "Prince, Your Majesty has accepted King Yun's suggestion to investigate the hundred officials, how about I?"
It turned out that the reason why the ministers were in danger was that Li Shimin wanted to clear the traitors and suppress the dynasty, and which of these court officials could be left alone? !
No matter ancient or modern, there are very few people who are officials who can be honest and honest, but people such as Bao Zheng and Hai Rui are also outliers in the long river of history.
They can't withstand a thorough investigation by the imperial court, but if they really investigate, I'm afraid they will be investigated.
"Li Yun's guy is against the palace everywhere, and he wants to thoroughly investigate the hundred officials, but to eliminate you." Li Chengqian said, "But you don't have to worry, your father is not stupid, if you are dismissed and investigated, the operation of the imperial official system will be paralyzed, you can rest assured." “
Yes, they are all important ministers of the empire, there is no shortage of scholars and servants, and there is no shortage of Sanpin Prefectures, if they are all served in one pot, then the bureaucracy of the entire Tang Empire will completely collapse.
Moreover, if they were all executed, there would be no one to take their place temporarily, and the operation of the institutions would fail, and the country would not be a country.
Li Shimin is the emperor, and he knows this better than anyone else.
What is the saying? Qing officials are water, corrupt officials are oil, people can not live without water, but they can't eat without oil, oil is used well, and stir-fried vegetables are fragrant.
After everyone was fed a reassuring pill, they were also much relieved, but Li Chengqian said: "Although we will not thoroughly investigate the hundred officials, we will also kill chickens and monkeys, and you should not take it lightly."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian's eyes fell on Chai Shao's body, and said: The great commander has something on his mind?!"
The prince also guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, Chai Lingwu was killed, how could he be good as a father?!
Chai Shao suddenly knelt down for Li Chengqian: "Please ask the prince to avenge my son."
"Look at what you said, Chai Lingwu committed suicide, how can I avenge him?" Li Chengqian said deliberately.
"The prince doesn't know how to pretend to be confused, my son is your subordinate, whether he will commit suicide You and I are as clear as a mirror in my heart." Chai Shao said.
The prince ordered his subordinates to help Chai Shao up, and said: "It's not difficult to kill Li Yun, but he is now a celebrity in front of his father, even if he is in this palace, he doesn't dare to act rashly, if the great commander can help me, maybe it's still possible."
As the founder of the country, Chai Shao was reluctant to participate in the struggle for imperial power, but his son was killed, and he couldn't care so much.
"Good! As long as I can avenge my son, I am willing to help the prince. Chai Shao said.
"Okay, the great commander is worthy of being the founder of the country, that is, he knows how to understand current affairs, Li Yun thinks that he is lawless if he is favored, but he doesn't know how he can control the political situation in the court." Li Chengqian said.
However, some people also felt uneasy: "Prince, the ministers are always restless in their hearts, Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo and Chai Lingwu have been killed one after another, as if someone is targeting them, is it King Yun?!"
Li Chengqian was also very puzzled by this matter, these people were all relatives of the emperor, although they knew each other, but they were not essentially connected.
If Chai Lingwu is the prince's person, Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai are not, but they were still killed.
And Li Yun and Fang Xuanling have a good relationship, there is no need to kill him, since Fang Xuanling was killed, the relationship between Fang Xuanling and Li Yun has become unfamiliar, and the two have almost no contact, if it is really Li Yun, what is he not digging his own grave.
"I'm sure these things have nothing to do with Li Yun." Li Chengqian said firmly.
"But why? Without Fang Xuanling's help, he had no one to speak for him in the court. Someone asked.
And Chai Shao seemed to think of something, he was stunned suddenly, and then a fear was revealed in his eyes.
Li Chengqian noticed the change in him and asked, "The Great Commander seems to know something."
Chai Shao wasn't completely sure, but Li Yun's words of revenge before, plus the few people who were killed, he remembered what happened when he was young.
Chai Shao's whole face turned bad, and Li Chengqian seemed to have guessed that this matter was not so simple.
There must be some kind of connection.
So, after Li Chengqian let everyone else disperse, only Chai Shao was left alone.
"Great Commander, can you say it now?" Li Chengqian said.
Recalling the pictures of that year, Chai Shao can be said to be vivid, rivers of blood flowing, mountains of corpses and bones, and a good family was slaughtered, even the babbling children did not let go.
Chai Shao pondered for a long time, and after struggling a lot in his heart, he said belatedly: "This is something that happened more than 20 years ago."
"More than twenty years ago?" Li Chengqian muttered that he was not born more than 20 years ago, and it seems that something terrible happened to the older generation when he was young.
Subsequently, Chai Shao told Li Chengqian what had happened in Lincheng for more than 20 years, and Li Chengqian also knew for the first time that the younger generation still had such a hidden thing as blood.
The world knows that they are great commanders of great achievements, but they do not know that this secret is so tragic.
After listening to this, Li Chengqian was stunned for a long time, although he had not personally experienced the massacre in Lincheng, he could imagine that kind of scene.
The dripping blood stained the whole heaven and earth, in the darkness, the blood mixed with the water, I don't know whether it was red or black, the only thing that could be heard was the wail of the innocent before death.
After coming back to his senses, Li Chengqian asked, "Are you saying that the push back map can predict the future?!"
Chai Shao didn't dare to say with certainty: "The push back picture is just a legend, no one knows whether it is true or not, because the real push back picture has only been seen by Lejia."
"But you slaughtered Tui Bei Tu, and you didn't find Tui Bei Tu all over the door." Li Chengqian asked again.
"So we suspect that Tui Beitu was hidden by Li Yun's mother, but after killing his mother, he still didn't find it." Chai Shao said.
Li Chengqian seemed to understand, and he said: "This palace understands, you suspect that the back plot is on Li Yun, so you will send someone to assassinate him, right?"
"Yes, that kind of thing must not fall into his hands." Chai Shao said.
But Li Chengqian suddenly said: "No wonder Li Yun can always be one step ahead of others, the push back picture will definitely not be fake if he hides it, he can repeatedly perform miraculous feats, it must be the credit of pushing back map."
Li Chengqian attributed it to Tui Beitu, but he didn't know that these were all feats established by Li Yun by relying on his own skills, whether it was attacking the Turks or patrolling the heavens.
"This matter needs to be verified, but I am worried that Li Yun will attack other juniors who participated in the tragedy that year." Chai Shao said.
"Who do you think it will be?"
"The son of Ju Guogong Tang Jian."
