Chapter 80: The Secret Conversation in the Heavenly Prison
Prison.
A place where felons were imprisoned, usually condemned to death or where nobles had committed heavy punishments.
King Xu, ranked above the prince Jiuqing, his status is not among the ranks, he is the nephew of the king of Tang, so naturally he cannot be underestimated.
Now he is in prison, locked in the deepest part of the prison, and without the emperor's order, it is difficult for others to see his face.
When King Changping came here, where had the cell bosses in those prisons seen such a big man, and when everyone saw it, they all knelt down and kowtowed and saluted.
Li Changsheng waved his hand and said no more, and went straight to the deepest part of the prison, the dark prison that did not see the light of day.
Before going to the cell, the cell boss in the prison said, "Li Sujie." King Changping has come to see you, don't hurry up and greet you!! ”
It was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and King Xu, who was high up, never dreamed that he would not even be a small cell head who did not enter the stream. Dare to yell at him.
Dressed in prison clothes, with his hair scattered, he looked a little embarrassed, like a beggar on the street, without the demeanor of a prince in the past.
Li Changsheng is here. King Xu looked weak and haggard, and he didn't bother to take care of it at all, so he just glanced at it from the corner of his eye.
"Go down, all of you, for no one is allowed to come near here without the king's command." Li Changsheng said.
"Little obedience!"
Even if Li Changsheng didn't say it, even the cell bosses would never dare to approach, and they still counted on this public meal to feed their families.
After everyone left, only Li Changsheng and Xu Wang were left.
Li Changsheng took the initiative to come to the prison, and his purpose was to answer questions and solve doubts, and said: "Brother Xu, the king has already heard about your matter. ”
King Xu lowered his head and hid his face under his long unkempt hair, he did not rush to answer, and after a long time, he said, "Are you here to laugh at me?" ”
"Ridicule? Why laugh? This time I came only to answer questions, not for anything else. Li Changsheng said.
"Don't fucking pretend, this king is in prison, the happiest person except King Yu is you, you're not here to laugh, what are you for?" King Xu said angrily.
"Because I didn't believe from the beginning that Brother Xu would send someone to assassinate this king." Li Changsheng directly said what he was thinking.
When he said this, King Xu actually raised his head, this was the first time he looked at his younger brother, and he said in disbelief: "Why? Everyone thinks that this king is the mastermind of the assassination, and you, as the victim of the murder, how can you conclude that the mastermind is not me? ”
Li Changsheng pointed to his heart and said, "Intuition! ”
"Intuition?" Hearing his words, King Xu Li Sujie was a little ridiculous, and couldn't help but let out a sneer, and said, "This is the best joke this king has ever heard?" In the Emperor's house, the last thing you can trust is intuition, because intuition tends to plunge you into endless darkness. ”
Li Changsheng didn't feel funny, he asked rhetorically: "Isn't intuition accurate?" ”
"Exactly! Accurate! But what can be? Intuition can't be used as evidence, even if your intuition is accurate. Still can't get away with the charge of assassinating you. Xu Wang Li Sujie said sarcastically.
"This king said that I am not here to clear your name, but to answer your questions."
Li Changsheng is not stupid, even if King Xu is not the mastermind of his assassination, and he is the main contender for the throne, who can be sure that he will not do this in the future?
Immortal would not pity him, even more so as he never wanted to let himself go, even though he was wronged. But it was only a matter of time before he wanted to murder himself, but if he didn't do it, he was framed.
"It's a good answer, but I don't know if you understand your question?"
"Half and half."
"What is half?"
"The result is clear, but the process is confusing, and we can't figure it out yet." Li Changsheng said.
King Xu said: "Anyway, it will be difficult for this king to turn over again, you might as well simply say all the doubts in your heart, and it can be regarded as my wedding gift for you as an elder brother." ”
"Yes, speaking of which, Brother Xu Wang has never sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, since Brother Wang is generous, then Brother Wang is not welcome." Li Changsheng said jokingly.
"Ask!"
"I want to know, what kind of person is Brother Yuwang?"
Xu Wang Li Sujie was slightly stunned, a trace of strangeness flashed in his expression, his eyebrows were slightly tightened, and he said, "It seems that you have guessed the real mastermind?" ”
"What does that say? Oh yes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, as the victim of assassination, if he can't even figure out his own enemies, how can he talk about retaliating with a tooth for a tooth? ”
Li Changsheng is no longer the same as before, and he knows nothing from the beginning of his entry into Chang'an. To the current King of Changping, he is no longer the simple teenager, and a few months is enough time for a person to grow up.
King Xu asked, "What is your basis?" How to determine that King Yu is the real mastermind. ”
"Brother Wang has been in an important position for many years, how can he not understand that the crime of secretly hiding gunpowder at home is not small. Even if you intend to do something wrong, gunpowder is essential, but it is impossible to hide it in the palace. According to this king's understanding, the guests coming and going from King Xu's Mansion have always been full of people and a constant stream. Li Changsheng analyzed eloquently. And isn't your practice just proof that there are no three hundred taels of silver here? ”
"Brother Wang is not a stupid man, nor is he a fool, if someone did it on purpose, why did he come to this?" Li Changsheng said. "Besides, gunpowder is an explosion when it encounters an open flame, and I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Who can guarantee that it will be foolproof. ”
"King Xu's Mansion is huge, and there are more than 100 people in the mansion, so be careful. Once the gunpowder is ignited, who will be the first person to be damaged? ”
Li Changsheng's analysis is not unreasonable, who would sleep with a bomb under their head every day? If you are not careful, you will detonate the bomb, and it will be a dead person.
Even if King Xu has the intention of rebellion. will never put gunpowder in the palace, if it really explodes, it is a small matter to be thoroughly investigated by King Tang, and it is a big deal that he can live unharmed.
After hearing his words, King Xu Li Sujie smiled. He laughed wildly, and the laughter spread from the depths of the prison into the distance, but no one came to find out why.
"I don't know what Brother Wang's smile is? Could it be that my brother's analysis was wrong? Li Changsheng asked rhetorically, he didn't understand it, he didn't know why.
When the laughter stops abruptly. Xu Wang Li Sujie said: "Unexpectedly, the person who this king wants to kill in his dreams is the one who knows the king's heart best." ”
Just now, he couldn't help laughing, it was precisely because the reason that Li Changsheng analyzed and said was exactly what he thought in his heart, how could those old stubborns in the court be pedantic. Just didn't take into account the reason.
"This king has often heard his advisers say that the king of Changping is just a weak-crowned child, not to be worried, simple-minded, and not good at scheming, but now it seems that this is not the case."
How did those people know that Li Changsheng was no longer the person he used to be, he came to Chang'an City from Penglai Immortal Island, from a fledgling. To the experience of a hundred battles, every fight will become a stepping stone for his growth.
"Summing up the experience from failure, every fall is the biggest motivation for growth, if I didn't even have this growth, then I would have been defeated by you a long time ago. Isn't it? Li Changsheng said.
"That's a good point, but it's a pity, this king always thought that you were a child, and you didn't need to spend energy at all, and I didn't expect you to grow up so fast. It's stunning. ”
Li Changsheng chuckled indifferently and said, "I wonder if Brother Wang can tell Brother Yu who he is?" ”
"Insidious and cunning, good at conspiracy theories, and a formidable enemy." Xu Wang Li Sujie said that this is from the perspective of an old opponent with him.
Often the people who know themselves best. is not the person closest to him, but his biggest enemy, before the two, fight each other's wits and courage, if they don't understand each other, how can they know each other?
"But as far as I know, outsiders' evaluation of Brother Yu Wang is 'the son is unparalleled in the world, and the stranger is like jade', it seems that the evaluation of a person really can't be hearsay."
The evaluation I learned from King Xu's mouth was completely different from that of outsiders, and it can be said that it was completely two extremes.
It's just that for Li Changsheng, he prefers to believe in the former, after all, King Xu knows him better than ordinary people, and it is definitely not other people's generalizations.
"What a son, the world is unique. What Mo Shangren is like jade? In the eyes of this king, it's all bullshit, Li Dan is the best at disguise, one side in front of people, one side behind people. Very good at winning people's hearts. Xu Wang Li Sujie said disdainfully, mentioning the word 'Li Dan', his eyes were full of disgust.
Over the years, it is his hypocrisy that has made him cage a large number of people's hearts, but it is also his ability, which cannot be doubted and denied.
At this time, Li Changsheng said: "I understand, today's trip to prison is quite successful, and I have gained a lot, and answering questions can be regarded as getting the answers I want." ”
"Really? In this way, this king can be regarded as doing a good deed. ”
"Those who do good deeds will naturally be rewarded." Li Changsheng said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"Brother Xu Wang, is this appointed? Brother Wang's eloquent analysis, do you think his father would not have thought of it? Li Changsheng said.
At this point, King Xu was stunned, and said in his heart, yes, how smart King Tang is, how could he not think of it if he was not for those stubborn people in the court?
"Is it?"
Li Changsheng showed a sly smile and said, "The Son of Heaven's technique of combining grace and power, thanks to Brother Wang, who has been in the court for many years, can't even guess the emperor's thoughts?" ”
"Envy, you mean ......?"
"Father didn't want to kill you at all, but he was bitter first and then sweet, and he was grateful to him, not to mention that if you died, who would stop King Yu again? And I don't have any connections and background in the court, so how can I compete with him. ”
When this word is spoken, it suddenly opens, and the person in the dream is awakened with a word.
