"Huge wealth of unknown origin?" When Li Xiu heard what the eldest grandson Wuji told him, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, he thought that the case of Li Chengqian's rebellion should have been clearly tried, but he didn't expect that there were some doubts involved.

"Yes, the reason why the prince was able to recruit so many private soldiers, and also let Li Anyan and Hou Junji belong to them, in addition to promising high-ranking officials in advance, the most important thing is to buy them with a lot of money, just the amount we ask for now is in the millions, which is not a small amount, and the use of the East Palace is also fixed, even the prince can't come up with so much money." The eldest grandson Wuji also spoke again at the moment, the reason why he told Li Xiu about this matter was actually to hear his opinion.

Li Xiu also showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, in the eyes of ordinary people, as the crown prince, he was rich and rich, and money seemed to be not a problem at all, but in fact, the imperial court had regulations on the use of the palace, not to mention the prince, even the emperor's annual expenses must be within a certain amount, and the emperor himself had to take money to make up for the excess amount.

And now that Li Chengqian has spent millions of dollars to buy officials, you must know that the family fortune can already be called a rich family, let alone a million, which is not a small amount, even if it is a huge rich family like Li Xiu's family with tea, coal mines, and other industries, it is impossible to come up with so much money at once, and as for Li Chengqian's name, there does not seem to be any industry under his name, and it is impossible to come up with so much money to buy Li Anyan and others just by relying on the annual allocation of the imperial court.

"I know more about the situation in the East Palace, this money is definitely not something that Cheng Qian can take out, unless there is someone behind him to support him!" Li Xiu immediately made his own judgment and said.

"Yes, the officials who presided over the trial and Liu Dewei and I also thought so, but the person who supported the prince behind him was very mysterious, and we interrogated many people in the East Palace, but we still couldn't find a clue." The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded at this time, and then said with a headache expression, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, naturally has a lot of people who usually come and go to the East Palace, and trying to find out the person who supports Li Chengqian from these people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Being able to come up with so much money at once shows that the other party has extremely strong financial resources, and there are not many people who can have such strong financial resources, and I think the other party may not be a certain person, but a powerful force, otherwise it is too difficult to come up with so much money by one person." Li Xiu thought for a moment at this time and spoke again.

"If it is really like what you said, a certain force is supporting the prince, then the other party must not only have strong financial resources, but also have strong influence, and even want to seek greater benefits from the prince, and there are not many forces in the entire Datang that can meet these conditions." After listening to Li Xiu's words, the eldest grandson Wuji also stroked his beard and said.

"Ordinary forces don't have the courage to take such a big risk to support Cheng Qian, and their support for Cheng Qian's matter is so secretive, if you can't ask from others, I'm afraid only Cheng Qian himself knows." Li Xiu thought about it again and said, if you really can't find out, then you can only ask Li Chengqian.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then he spoke again: "We want to ask something from the prince, but since His Majesty sent the prince to the prison of Dali Temple, the prince has not said a word, and it is useless for anyone to ask, and now His Majesty has not abolished the position of the prince, so Liu Dewei and these chief judges do not dare to force questions, so for this person who supports the prince behind him, there is no clue about it until now." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji said to the end, he also showed a depressed expression on his face, because just yesterday, he also went to the prison of Dali Temple to see Li Chengqian, in order to ask something from the other party, after all, he was Li Chengqian's uncle, but what he didn't expect was that Li Chengqian treated him like everyone else, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't even look at him a few times, which made the eldest grandson Wuji also very annoyed.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not explicitly say that he went to see Li Chengqian yesterday, Li Xiu could also deduce from the change in the expression on his face, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart at the moment, and then thought for a moment before he spoke again: "Chengqian has gone through this great tribulation, and it is normal for him to be reluctant to speak, and as the crown prince, he can't use ordinary interrogation methods, I think it's better to wait for His Majesty's health to improve, and then His Majesty will personally interrogate him, and then he will definitely say something!" ”

"Your Majesty's physical condition is not unknown to you, whether it is the imperial doctor or Sun Daochang, they are all told to let Your Majesty calm down and recuperate, and you must not be angry again, if Your Majesty sees the prince, I am afraid that he will fall ill again, and then it will be terrible." Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head at this time and said with a wry smile.

"Then what do you mean......" Li Xiu finally felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and he frowned at the moment.

"Alas, since I have said it, I don't want this old face, I went to see the prince yesterday, but he also turned a blind eye to me, but I think the relationship between you and Cheng Qian is different after all, as the so-called one day as a teacher, a father for life, Your Majesty can't personally interrogate the prince now, it's better for you, the teacher, to meet him, maybe the prince will say it." The eldest grandson Wuji finally told his purpose, and in order to impress Li Xiu, he even told his shame yesterday.

Li Xiu already felt that the eldest grandson Wuji would be this kind of plan, so it was not surprising to hear him say it in person, but then he showed a contemplative expression, since he fell out with Li Chengqian, he had hardly seen Li Chengqian, and now in this situation, he was even more reluctant to see Li Chengqian, because he didn't know what to say?

"Li Xiu, I know it's a bit difficult for you to go to see the prince, but after all, he is a student you taught single-handedly, and the prince has hardly eaten since he was imprisoned, and now his whole person is thin and out of shape, and he is now very depressed, he hasn't said a word from beginning to end, I'm really worried that if he continues like this, something will really go wrong!" Seeing Li Xiu's hesitation, the eldest grandson Wuji also spoke again at the moment.

I have to say that the eldest grandson Wuji knows Li Xiu very well, and he found Li Xiu's weakness at once, so after listening to the above words, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and finally raised his head and said: "Okay, then there will be an arrangement for Brother Lao's grandson, and I will go to see Cheng Qian then!" ”
