Chapter 37: The Art of Disgust (1)
After some exchanges with Wu Cairen, Li Zhi completely dispelled the doubts in his heart and decided to remain neutral, resolutely not to stand in line, and not to fall to any side.
This can make Li Tai angry half dead, and there is nothing to be done, who makes Li Zhi now the most favored son of His Majesty Li Er.
In the end, Li Tai, Liu Xun and others jointly launched the first wave of offensive against Li Chengqian, and in order to be able to bring down the crown prince Li Chengqian in one fell swoop, they decided to give the prince a ruthless blow.
In the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian, Du He and a group of people were discussing how the first issue of the quarterly magazine should be distributed and sold.
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly trotted in front of Li Chengqian and saluted, handed a note to Li Chengqian, and said, "Your Highness! News came from the shadows. ”
Li Chengqian planted an undercover agent next to Li Tai, and the code name of this undercover agent is "Shadow"!
Li Chengqian hoped that this undercover agent could follow him like an appendage of bones, like a nail, embedded in Li Tai's interior, and find out favorable information for him.
Li Chengqian took the note handed by the eunuch and opened it, which read: I want to sue the prince for the art of disgust and curse Your Majesty!
Li Chengqian was taken aback!
This so-called art of disgust is actually the art of witchcraft, you must know that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have banned witchcraft, especially the emperor, it is even more taboo.
Once it is found that someone has used witchcraft to curse the emperor, it is a capital crime to kill the head.
"Your Highness! What's wrong with you? Du He and the others saw that after Li Chengqian read the note, his face turned white, and they wondered what was going on, and he actually made the prince, who had always been unfazed, scared like this.
"Let's get here today, you all go back and think about it, if there is anything left, if there is no problem, it will be typeset, printed on the first day of the next month, and then sent to all parts of the country." Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Everyone got up and saluted and left, but Du He stayed, he was worried that something bad would happen to the prince.
"Duhe, are you okay?" Li Chengqian saw that everyone was gone, but Du He did not leave.
"Your Highness! What's wrong? I see that your face is not very good! I'm worried about ......" Speaking of which, Duhe did not continue.
Li Chengqian could naturally understand what Du He meant, and Du He was concerned about his safety.
"I'm going to go to Ouchi now, it's inconvenient to say, I'll talk to you in detail when I come back, Wang Quan, prepare to step into the palace quickly, and the widow wants to meet Your Majesty!" While talking to Du He, Li Chengqian instructed Wang Quan to prepare to enter the palace to face the saint.
Although Wang Quan didn't know what was going on, he could hear the eagerness in Li Chengqian's tone, and he knew in his heart that things were not simple.
Li Chengqian sat on the chariot, and under the eyes of Du He, he walked out of the East Palace and headed towards the inner palace.
"You quickly go and call Cheng Wuting in the left and Xue Rengui in the right to come here, just say that it is the prince's meaning, and let them come to the East Palace quickly." Du He caught a eunuch and said that he did it just in case.
......Without the order of the crown prince, the eunuchs did not dare to make their own decisions.
"What are you doing? Something happened, the prince blamed it, I will bear it, if something happens to the prince, even if you have ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off. Du He scolded.
The eunuch hurriedly went to find Cheng Wuting and Xue Rengui.
Along the way, Li Chengqian was thinking, how to come to talk to his second father Li about this matter, no matter what Liu Xun said, he was an important minister in the court.
You can't just say a few words casually, and such a note, Li Er will believe it, when the time comes, what if Liu Xun doesn't admit it?
What if you say that you have framed the ministers of the court?
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian finally decided to tell the truth.
Li Chengqian entered the Liangyi Palace, saluted Li Er, and Li Er gave him a seat.
"Da Lang, why are you here?" Li Er asked.
"Father! Erchen has just received a secret letter, saying that someone is going to come to his father to denounce Erchen, and he will perform a disgust with his father and curse his father. Li Chengqian said.
Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, Li Er's sharp gaze made Li Chengqian feel cold and gloomy, like falling into an ice cellar.
Li Er's aura is strong, and he is not angry and arrogant! The shocked Li Chengqian didn't dare to say more, and a drop of cold sweat ran down Li Chengqian's cheek.
Li Chengqian had never seen Li Er have such a big aura, and he knew in his heart that his father was very angry now.
This witchcraft actually made my father so jealous, even if he mentioned it, it was like igniting a powder keg and exploding at any time.
"Who went to you to tell the truth?" After a while, Li Er asked.
"I don't know who it is! I heard from the people in the East Palace that it was a mysterious person wearing a hat, and I thought it was a big deal, so I came to report it to my father. Li Chengqian said.
Li Eryi didn't know what to say about Li Chengqian, and he didn't know who told him, so he dared to come and tell him that Liu Xun wanted to frame him, the prince.
It really scared him just now, the magic of witchcraft has always been mysterious and unpredictable, often cursing, tricking, etc., killing people invisibly.
He repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed that the art of aversion to victory was strictly prohibited, and the law was revised to severely punish such a young person, if anyone really dared to practice the art of aversion to victory in secret, he, the emperor, would definitely not be spared.
What's more, if you dare to frame the prince of the East Palace and curse me with the technique of disgust, you should be killed.
Li Er didn't blame Li Chengqian, let alone Li Chengqian, even if he met someone who came to tell him, he was afraid that he would do it.
The dynasties of the past dynasties have been talking about this witchcraft and talking about it! Taboo things.
"The stakes are high at this time! Liu Xun is an important minister in the court, and if he doesn't admit it before there is conclusive evidence, we can't do anything about him, not to mention whether this matter is true or not, it still needs to be verified, and we can't slander the important ministers of the court at will. Li Er thought for a while.
After all, I don't know if this whistleblower is false, whether it was deliberately framed by someone with a heart, or whether it is true, these must be carefully investigated before a conclusion can be drawn.
"That's what my father said! It's the son's lack of thought!" Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian can be sure that this Liu Xun will definitely frame him for cursing Li Er with witchcraft, and the undercover agent he planted next to Li Tai will not be able to wear back the fake news as long as his identity is not exposed.
It's just that he doesn't have any evidence to prove that Liu Xun really intends to do this, he can't teach the undercover agent!
In that case, maybe he will become someone else's handle, and he will be beaten upside down, saying that he, the crown prince, framed important ministers in the court, so as to attack dissidents.
No one in the government and the opposition now knows that Liu Xun is supporting Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Chengqian, he is fighting for succession.
Li Chengqian didn't plan to let Li Er do anything to Liu Yi with a few words, he just did this to give Li Er a preventive injection in advance.
