Chapter 12
The next day, Li Chengqian went to Fengquan Villa again to see Wang Fangyi, and the two chatted for a long time inside.
Li Chengqian still failed to invite Wang Fangyi to work for him, and finally had no choice but to leave.
On the same day, Li Chengqian and the others returned to Chang'an City.
The assassination of Li Chengqian in Huayin soon spread to Chang'an, and Li Er was very angry when he learned about it, and immediately sent Zuotun Wei Zhonglang to lead Zuo Tunwei to pick up Li Chengqian back.
The assassination of the crown prince immediately caused a shock to the government and the opposition, and the whole country was shocked!
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been an assassination of the crown prince, and this is the first time such a major event has occurred.
The forces of all parties watched to see the development of the situation, and at the same time, many people turned their attention to Li Tai, the king of Wei.
After all, once the crown prince is assassinated, the king of Wei will be able to ascend to the throne as the new crown prince, and the discord between the king of Wei and the crown prince is nothing new.
Therefore, many people speculate whether this matter will have anything to do with King Wei, after all, only King Wei has motives and interests in the assassination of the crown prince.
This matter must be dealt with seriously, otherwise where is the prestige of the empire and the face of the royal family!
On the same day, Li Er urgently summoned Situ Chang Sun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, Imperial Historian Ma Zhou, Counselor Chu Suiliang, Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao and other ministers to discuss the matter.
The case of the assassination of the prince is a matter of great importance, and it must not be sloppy, if the prince is really assassinated, it will be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.
"Cheng Qian's assassination in Huayin County, you should all know about it!" Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.
"Your Majesty! The assassination of the crown prince shocked the government and the opposition! It has been rumored, and the minister thinks that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and these people must not be allowed to go unpunished. "Counsel the doctor Chu Suiliangdao.
"Where should the assassination of the prince begin, who are they, why did they assassinate the prince, and what was the purpose of it? We all have to figure this out. Sikong Fang Xuan Ling said.
"The prince was assassinated in Huayin County, and I think it should be investigated from Huayin County." The Imperial Historian Ma Zhoudao.
"I also heard that there is a guard named Su Gan Chengji beside the prince, who colluded with these assassins and was beheaded by the prince, will this assassination be related to the people of the East Palace." Yang Shidao said.
"Even if it's related, they are also instructed, we should find out who is behind this, otherwise, no one is sure that there will be no next time."
"What if there is a next time, the prince may not be so lucky to be able to escape the assassination, I think we should thoroughly investigate the East Palace first to see how many people still infiltrate the East Palace." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
What the eldest grandson Wuji said is right! No one dares to guarantee that there will be a Sugan Chengji this time, and whether there will be a second Sugan Chengji lurking in the East Palace, waiting for the opportunity to start.
By doing this, he just did Li Chengqian a favor, and he was borrowing the hands of these ministers to clean up some useless people in the East Palace, and there were even spies from the Wei Palace.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Chengqian had to kill Su Gan Chengji.
There are people who collude with the assassins in the guards of the East Palace, and with the first one, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second, and Li Er will not be relieved if he does not investigate it thoroughly.
"Dali Qing Sun Fujia!" Li Er shouted.
"The minister is here!" Sun Fujia hurriedly got up and walked out of the class.
"I order you to thoroughly investigate the East Palace to see if there are still people lurking in the East Palace, and all suspicious people will be put in prison for trial." Li Er ordered.
Although Li Chengqian has behaved perversely over the years, and even disappointed him very much, Li Er still loves this son.
When he heard that Li Chengqian had been assassinated in Huayin, his heart jumped to his throat with fright.
When Li Er hated Li Chengqian, he was also worried about Li Chengqian's safety, and after this assassination, Li Er felt that he should dispose of all the "different" people in the East Palace.
"This assassination is for the prince, as soon as the prince dies, who is most beneficial, to be precise, who is most looking forward to the prince's death."
"I don't think we should just review the East Palace, but we can also start investigating clues from this aspect." Chu Sui is good.
"Whoever can get the greatest benefit is the one who is looking forward to the death of the prince." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Li Er frowned, when they said this, they were obviously talking about his family's Qingque'er, how could this be possible, they were also brothers anyway, and it wasn't like this.
"Are you doubting King Wei's success?" Li Er's voice was low, obviously annoyed.
His eldest son had just been assassinated, which had already made him heartbroken enough, and these people actually suspected that his favorite Qingque'er was the murderer behind the scenes, which was really hateful!
"What is the situation between the two brothers, Your Majesty should know that it is not that we are framing the King of Wei, but that he is most likely to do so."
"Your Majesty's favor for the King of Wei has surpassed everything, not only making him above the kings, but also all kinds of transgression etiquette, even royal gardens such as Furong Garden were given to the King of Wei as the King of Wei's private garden."
"How can there be princes and kings in all dynasties who have such a holy grace, only this dynasty has it, and even the crown prince does not have this honor."
"King Wei has coveted the crown prince for a long time, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any other thoughts." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Impossible, how could I do such a rebellious thing, he and Cheng Qian are brothers of the same mother." Li Er slapped the table and said.
"Your Majesty! Have you forgotten the things about Xuanwumen in the past? ”
"Isn't the original Prince Yin also the same as Your Majesty, the same brother of the same mother, but what is the result?"
"The change of Xuanwumen, Your Majesty has become Your Majesty! Prince Yin, King Yuanji of Qi and their families have long since turned into dust. The eldest grandson Wuji said.
At the beginning of the Xuanwumen Change, his eldest grandson Wuji also participated, so he naturally knew the cruelty of this battle for succession.
Li Er's reluctance to accept it does not mean that Li Tai and Li Chengqian will not stage the drama of the Xuanwumen Revolution again.
Li Er was speechless by the eldest grandson Wuji.
For Li Er, the change in Xuanwu Gate is a shadow that he can't erase in his life, and it is a past that he doesn't want to mention.
He didn't want it to happen again among his sons.
Li Er didn't expect that Li Tai and Li Chengqian's views had reached the point of life and death.
Li Er knew that he had been too fond of Li Tai over the years, and he had already made this son have the idea of winning the heir.
But if he wants to deal with Li Tai, he can't bear it, after all, the current King of Wei has not done anything out of the ordinary.
Li Tai is already a good son with excellent character and learning in his heart, and he is still his baby bump.
"King Wei's side can only secretly investigate, not mess around!" Li Er thought about it, but he was still reluctant to attack Li Tai's son.
Everyone had already guessed that this would be the result, but it was already good to be able to investigate secretly, but His Majesty was relieved.
