Chapter 16: Three Suspicions of Bad Guys
The man smiled evilly at Li Ke and said, "Leave you a dog's life today, and I'll take it again in the future." ”
Pulled out a sword at his waist at will, and after dismantling the bad handsome, he jumped up and slipped away with light skills.
"This person has good martial arts skills, and he can't stay for a long time." The bad marshal made up his mind to kill this person, turned around and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, for the sake of your safety, you had better go back to the palace immediately and report this matter to the emperor, presumably there will be no more assassination, I will kill this thief first." With that, he vanished, presumably chasing down the Assassin.
Li Ke wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead, caught up and cursed: "Huh, which damn pen, you have to send someone to assassinate me when you go to a holy place." ”
After complaining for a while, he felt that it was urgent to go back to the palace and tell Li Shimin about the matter, and began to turn back to the palace according to the original path.
On the way back, Li Ke was still thinking about what had just happened: "It's impossible for the Golden Book House to deceive me, so that knife is really used by Datang...... Hiss...... The water in this Tang Dynasty army is deep enough, I originally learned the history in my previous life, I thought I learned it very well, but I found that it was still not comprehensive! ”
......
In the Ganlu Hall of the Tang Palace.
Li Ke can go out to have fun, while Li Shimin can only deal with the twists and turns here.
"Report - Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu asks to see you." Wang De, who was standing at the door of the hall, suddenly came in and said.
Li Shimin looked dazed: "King Shu? Li Ke? Didn't he just go out? How did you come back again? ”
Wang De seemed to be a little embarrassed to say: "This ...... His Highness said...... He said......"
Li Shimin asked impatiently, "What did he say?" ”
Wang De gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness said that someone assassinated him. ”
Li Shimin was shocked, he killed people in Chang'an City, how many years has he not appeared?
"What?! Let him in. ”
"Whoa."
Li Ke came in, looked at Li Shimin with an angry face, and thought, "This product still values me." ”
Li Ke greeted: "Son, see my father." ”
This time he didn't kneel like he did last time, but just arched his hands.
Li Shimin said directly: "You just tell me directly what the situation was like at that time." ”
Li Ke told everything truthfully, but he kept an eye on it - to hide the fact that the assassin was using the Tang Dynasty saber. In case Li Shimin found out about it and carried out a strict investigation and found the murderer, in the end, the other party jumped over the wall in a hurry to exchange my life, and this matter had to be considered in the long run.
After hearing this, Li Shimin asked, "What do you think of the murderer?" ”
Li Ke said: "According to Erchen's opinion, it is very likely that it is the purpose of Erchen's training of Jinyi envoys, so that some ministers heard the news and felt that it would threaten them to a great extent, so they killed the killer like this." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, what you said is not unreasonable. Let's go down first, during this time, you don't want to leave the palace, it's best not to move around much, it's enough to go to the place where Jinyiwei is trained or the Yi Palace. ”
"Yes, the retainers are retired."
......
Li Ke walked on the way to Yi Palace, and his heart was full of regret: "Damn, why did this assassin pick me out of the palace to assassinate me when I was out of the palace for pleasure, and the most important thing is that I want my life before I have fun... Isn't there a saying that 'Du Danhua dies, and being a ghost is also romantic', alas, I will go out again for a while and a half. ”
Li Ke thought again: "Or, I'll train the brocade envoys first, and let them investigate who did this matter on the grounds of the exercise?" Well, that's a good idea. ”
After making up his mind, Li Ke's pace of returning couldn't help but speed up, and he was eager to do a good job for the first time, but he didn't expect his dream to go further.
......
Return your gaze to the Temple of Manna.
"Your Majesty, the minister has killed the thief who assassinated His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
Saying this is the bad handsome who went to chase and kill.
"Did you ask who did it?"
"That assassin is a dead man, his moves are extremely unique and ruthless, even if the minister himself attacked, it was still a little difficult to parry, and when the minister subdued him and was about to tie him up, he found that he had bitten his tongue and killed himself, so it is impossible to know who did it."
"Bad handsome, you have also been in Chang'an City for a while, you came to analyze and analyze me, who dares to do such a bold thing here?"
"Minister... The minister did not dare to speak nonsense. ”
"You 'bad handsome' don't dare to talk nonsense, so who else is qualified to say this in Datang?"
"The minister dares to speak, and I hope that the emperor..."
"Bad handsome, you don't have to deal with me with such words, just tell the object of your suspicion, what made him dare to assassinate, I promise you not guilty!"
"Yichen believes that there are only three possibilities for this assassination."
"Oh? There are three possibilities, which three are them, and they will be given to me quickly. ”
When Li Shimin heard this answer, to be honest, he was still very surprised, because there were only two kinds in his heart.
"One of the suspicions is that King Jing did it, after all, his son was ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Shu to be executed tomorrow, which was promised by the emperor himself, and it was naturally irreparable, so he simply sent assassins to end this hatred, so this suspicion accounts for sixty percent of the probability."
The bad marshal judged based on the analysis of the intelligence collected by his subordinates over the years.
"The second is that as His Royal Highness the King of Shu judged himself, it was the movement of the formation of the Jinyi Envoy that day, which made some officials move, many of them had extreme personalities, and the plan to spend some money to hire assassins to kill His Royal Highness the King of Shu could make the Jinyi Envoy set up come to naught, and this suspicion is also a sixty percent probability."
"And this last one," said the bad handsome to the last
"It's okay to say it directly, why can't you say it?"
"The minister thanked the emperor for not killing him, and this last one may be done by the emperor himself!"
After this sentence came out of the mouth of the bad handsome, the air around him seemed to freeze.
"What do you mean by this, I sent someone to assassinate Li Ke?" Li Shimin said gloomily.
“....”
The bad handsome was silent.
Looking at the bad handsome's speechlessness, Li Shimin understood something, and said: "Do you mean that my words of praise for Li Ke were listened to by others, causing someone's dissatisfaction or jealousy, and that person hired an assassin to kill Li Ke?" ”
"What the emperor said is very close to the third suspicion in the minister's heart, and the minister once again boldly guessed: there is an eighty percent probability that it was done by one of the Li Ke brothers, the emperor's sons, and the princes."
"Is it brother slaughter again... Could it be that I did something wrong in the first place..."Li Shimin only felt dizzy at this time, insisted on the dizziness, and told the bad handsome: "You send two bad people to protect Li Ke, you go down and arrange it first, I want to be quiet alone." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the bad handsome voice fell, it disappeared without a trace.
"When it comes to Li Ke's talent, I am also aware of it, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang De, and Bad Shuai, but it is impossible for these four to reveal such things to the prince and the prince..."Li Shimin rubbed his head and thought.
"Oh yes, there's one more, and the eldest grandson queen." Li Shimin suddenly remembered that he had talked about Li Ke with Empress Changsun after recovery, but he thought about it: "If Empress Changsun tells the crown prince Li Chengqian and the fourth prince Li Taihou about this matter, after arousing the vigilance of one of them... That's right, it's likely that one of them did it. ”
But Li Shimin frowned again, how to investigate the real mastermind?
"Wang De, follow me to Yi Palace!"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"Don't ask so much, hurry up!"
"Okay, Your Majesty... Wait, little one! ”
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly bloomed with a fine light, and he hurriedly called Wang De to rush to Yi Palace!
