The two slowly walked surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and Li Zhi continued to hold his hands behind his back, holding his already blessed belly, sorting out Li Hong's every move today in his mind.

"Why does Hong'er have such a big prejudice against the princess? Back then, his Taiyi City Chamber of Commerce, the princess of Qianjin and Li Ming, the king of Cao, but regardless of his status as an elder, he personally visited him in his royal manor, hoping to get some shares of Taiyi City, but Li Hong refused bluntly! On the contrary, those who did not go, he also gave a share. Li Zhi shook his head as he spoke.

Li Hong and Princess Qianjin had not been in contact before this, if there was any such thing, it was that Princess Qianjin's carriage entered Taiyi City and hit other people, but that matter was solved according to his Li Hong's intentions.

And that kind of trivial matter, whether it is for Li Hong or Princess Qianjin, should not constitute any conclusion, and it is not enough to be a reason for the two to fight each other.

Wu Mei also shook her head solemnly, she has always had a good impression of Princess Qianjin, in the past few years, when she went to Luoyang, Princess Qianjin would welcome more than ten miles out of Luoyang City every time.

Every time I go back to Chang'an, I will send dozens of miles of land, although this is a respect for the royal family, but the etiquette is extremely grand, otherwise I will not believe her words this time.

But even so, after the four warlocks were exposed by Li Hong, Wu Mei didn't blame Princess Qianjin very much after knowing that the warlocks were fake, and even wondered if she was also kept in the dark.

But what she didn't expect was that Li Hong seized on this matter to make a big fuss, and the hat of the crime of bullying the king was buttoned down, that is, he and His Majesty wanted to relieve him in front of everyone, and it was difficult to find a suitable reason for a while.

What's more, the little rabbit cub didn't give himself and others a chance to excuse the princess at all, and he didn't even let their thoughts go that way.

A series of magical tricks tightly tugged at their nerves from the beginning, so that they had no time to think about other things while they were shocked.

The successive changes, the suffocating tense atmosphere, and the fact that the finger at the end actually burst into flames, the yellow charm that could not be lit or burned, and the words on it, all made people forget about the things around them for a while.

In the end, the little rabbit cub took advantage of everyone's unstable heart, and directly borrowed His Majesty's mouth to seal all the retreats of the princess at once, and pressed the princess into Luoyang without moving.

What a deep city and accurate calculations this is? Everything, including the mental activity of the people, the thoughts in their heads, was led by him at that moment, and you were not allowed to have a breather to do other things.

In the end, it was so easy, not only did he break the game set up by Princess Qianjin to please herself and His Majesty, but it was like a drawback, in the terms of His Majesty's favorite chess, that is, Princess Qianjin was completely checkmated.

Wu Meijie's white jade forehead was twisted, and she suddenly said, "Princess Qianjin won't have anything to do with Li Zhong, right?" ”

"No, if that's the case, why did Li Hong still vigorously support Li Zhong's ...... when he was in Taiyi City." Li Zhi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly stopped talking.

Stopped and half-turned to look at Wu Mei, and said as if remembering something: "Li Zhong is now imprisoned by Li Hong in Loulan, Anxi, so that means that in Taiyi City back then, Li Hong didn't know that Li Zhong had different intentions!" Then think about it this way, Princess Qianjin and Li Zhong have joined forces? ”

Wu Mei shook her head: "No signs." ”

After finishing speaking, he took the lead in the direction of his Penglai Palace, leaving Li Zhi with a contemplative expression.

Li Hong and Di Renjie slowly walked out of the Danfeng Gate, Di Renjie looked solemn, and handed over a pattern of stars and moon symbols in his hand to Li Hong.

"Your Highness, are you familiar with this pattern?"

Li Hong took it casually, took it in his hand and measured it carefully, needless to say, the star and moon pattern is self-explanatory, he has the memory of several lifetimes, and the interpretation of some terrorist organizations in the media in the previous life, so that he naturally knows the star and moon pattern.

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" This pattern should be a common pattern on the side of the white clothes and big food, a certain organization or group. ”

Di Renjie smiled bitterly, and as Li Hong walked forward slowly, he said slowly: "It seems that the minister is looking for the right person for His Royal Highness, there have been several bizarre suicides in the past few days, and during the autopsy, the minister found these patterns from their necks or arms, and the minister guessed that it should be the pattern from the Western Regions, so I want you to confirm it." ”

"Suicide? Who committed suicide? Li Hong asked casually.

"They are all students of Hongwenguan and Guozijian, both men and women." Di Renjie said heavily.

Li Hong was shocked, the students of Hongwenguan and Guozijian committed suicide? How is this possible?

"Why did they kill themselves? How many people died? Li Hong asked.

"Three women and four men, all around fifteen or sixteen years old, the minister saw the scene of the crime, and after careful investigation, no traces of a fight or the presence of other people were found at the scene, and when he asked his neighbors, no one heard any noisy sounds when the deceased hanged himself."

In other words, all seven of them were willing to commit suicide? When did this happen? Li Hong asked curiously, but he didn't go to his heart, but he still had some uneasiness, after all, the star and moon pattern was not a good thing.

"It was half a month ago. Now it seems that the minister initially believes that the seven people are willing to commit suicide, as for why they committed suicide, whether they were persecuted by someone or had a dispute with others, or other reasons, the minister has never found a clue. Di Renjie was very distressed, after taking office a few years ago, he cleaned up a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, which made him vaguely have a reputation as a detective among the people, but now because of this case, he can't judge.

"Half a month ago? The secrecy measures are strict enough, no wonder there is no rumor at all, and I think it just happened. Li Hong said lightly.

Di Renjie smiled bitterly again: "This case involves Hongwenguan and Guozijian, Yan Zhaofu and Kong Zhiyu, one is a scholar of Hongwenguan, and the other is Guozijian sacrificial wine, I am afraid that this incident will have a bad impact after it spreads." ”

Di Renjie saw that Li Hong's expression was still flat, shook his head and continued: "Now that the reputation of the Chongwen Pavilion under the rule of your East Palace is growing, and now there are many officials and nobles and businessmen who are willing to send their children to the Chongwen Pavilion, so the pressure on the Hongwen Pavilion and the Guozijian is also increasing. Once this matter came out, the two scholars were afraid that they would push Hongwenguan and Guozijian to the forefront, and when the time came, they would live up to His Majesty's ......expectations. ”

"Well, I understand. So you helped them suppress the influence of this matter and changed it to a covert investigation. But in this way, after developing the habit of taking shortcuts and relying on relationships in the future, wouldn't it be unfair to Chongwenguan? By the way, has such an incident happened in Chongwen Pavilion? Li Hong thought for a moment and asked.

Yan Zhaofu and Kong Zhiyue, but after the literary Confucianism, Yan Zhaofu does not need to say that Yan Shigu is the nephew of Yan Shigu and the grandfather of Yan Zhenqing.

Kong Zhiyue is even more amazing, the descendant of Confucius, the second of Kong Yingda's three sons.

Kong Yingda himself was one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace, and later helped Li Shimin to establish the Literature Museum, and then served in the Literature Museum, and with Li Shimin's accession to the throne, the Literature Museum was also changed to the Hongwen Museum.

Kong Yingda won Li Shimin's respect, at the beginning of the establishment of the Hongwen Pavilion, he was given high hopes, after the restructuring, Li Shimin had high hopes for him, so he appointed him as the prince of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, responsible for the royal family to learn.

Now the Kong and Yan families are still in charge of the Hongwenguan and the Guozijian, but with the rapid rise of the Chongwenguan in the East Palace, as well as the aggressive momentum, they feel huge pressure, and they are deeply afraid that the status of the Guozijian and the Hongwenguan in the eyes of the world's scholars will decline, so they have no choice but to find Di Renjie after the suicide case and ask for the situation not to expand and to investigate it secretly.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, to be honest, the minister also thinks that this is not fair to your Chongwen Pavilion, but the minister thinks, no matter which of the three families is the work of the royal family, wouldn't it be a good thing if competition could be avoided? No such incident occurred at Chongbunkan. Di Renjie comforted Li Hong and replied.

Li Hong glanced at Di Renjie, who was smiling bitterly: "You are not sincere, you want to please both sides, and in the end, don't make it a person inside and out." If you tell me all about it today, won't you be afraid that I will trouble them? Or is it to make this case known to the whole world? ”

"Chen Dou dared to guess, I think Your Highness will not do this, it is all the weight of the royal family, and it is also a place to cultivate literati for my Tang Dynasty, Your Highness should not do such a lose-lose act. However, Your Highness, you have misunderstood the minister, and the minister asks to see you today because after all, you have been in the Western Regions for a long time, and you may be able to help the minister identify this pattern and help the minister solve the confusion in his heart. The wry smile on Di Renjie's face turned into a smile like a good man, in short, he really didn't want to offend either side.

Li Hong sneered sideways, looked at him, and then motioned for him to follow into the East Palace.

Di Renjie was also not polite, and accompanied Li Hong into the East Palace, anyway, for him, even if there was no gain from today's trip, it was a good thing to be able to visit the East Palace, and it was not a trip in vain.

In the living room of the Li main hall, Banmei obediently helped Li Hong take off the prince's service and changed into civilian clothes, while Xunlan had already poured the tea and put it on the coffee table.

"It's certain that this thing is strange, you are looking for me this time, but you just want to confirm whether this pattern is owned by the Western Regions. Chang'an City has a large floating population every day, and it is even more difficult to find some clues, but I can provide you with a clue, but ...... Remember, it's best to be careful, but you don't need me to teach you, you should be able to understand what is going on. Li Hong motioned to Di Renjie for tea and said.
