The emperor and empress only stayed in Zongsheng Palace for one night, and early the next morning, they took the crown prince Li Hong down the mountain and returned to the royal manor in Taiyi City again.

Along the way, Li Hong's resolute attitude on the issue of Bai Chun made Li Zhi and Wu Mei helpless, and this assassination incident seemed to cast a shadow on the three of them all of a sudden.

The weather in Taiyi City was gloomy, but there was no sign of rain, Li Zhi led Li Hong and walked slowly in the garden of the manor.

"Sometimes it doesn't have to rain on a cloudy day, just like there are showers on a sunny day. So, there are some things that don't have the imaginary consequences because of their antecedents. Hong'er still can't figure it out? Li Zhi took Li Hong to an octagonal pavilion and sat down, and Li Zhi asked lightly.

"There's nothing I can't figure out, it's just that Erchen feels aggrieved and regretful for his mother and the two palace maids who died in Erchen." Li Hong said unhappily.

Along the way, I begged for a long time, hoping that my father could hand over this matter to me, so that I could not kill the Turks, and I could lightly send down the Jinyang Wang family, but my father resolutely refused.

"I heard that you have been emotionally unstable during this time, Hong'er, my father rushed to Taiyi City, do you think it is to prevent you from taking revenge on them? My father also has my father's suffering, isn't your mother wronged? But for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, the father had to choose patience for the time being. Li Zhi patted Li Hong's shoulder and said.

Li Hong sighed silently, he knew these better than anyone else, but the loss of two palace maids in this incident made him feel like a fish in his throat, and he didn't vomit unhappily.

And the neurotic mood in the past two days, in addition to the death of Bai Lu and Xiaohan, is also because he has guessed in his heart who the possible main messenger of this incident is, and he also vaguely has a premonition that this matter may not be resolved.

There is no record in the history books of whether the queen mother was assassinated, but the queen mother and the Jinyang Wang family are really evil. Therefore, when he woke up that day, he had already guessed who the murderer might be.

When he told himself yesterday, he endured the pain in his shoulder, just to put the whole thing on the table before his father arrived, and as long as he got a confession from Wang Kang, Wang Jing and others, whether he was killed or imprisoned, even if his father wanted to change the result, it would be difficult to change it.

But it's a pity that at the last moment, he was stopped by Yangwu, and not only that, when his father sent Yangwu to stop him, he also thought about what to do if he couldn't stop it?

So I put Bai Chun as a bargaining chip to negotiate with myself, that is, Li Hong, if you want to check, you have to check. You can too! Let's even check Bai Chun together, even if Bai Chun has nothing to do with this incident.

But Wang Kang, Wang Jing, and the great monk Weiying at the scene, they were all a group of people who conspired with Bai Chun back then, how many Tang craftsmen were sold back then? It just so happens that the new case and the old case will be tried together, as long as you Li Hong is willing, then investigate.

Bai Chun did not come to the Zongsheng Palace to report to himself, but sent Wutian and Wutian back to report to him, indicating that Bai Chun had completely guessed that those people were Wang Kang and others at that time.

It is even possible that after Wang Kang and others were besieged, they pleaded like Bai Chun! These are the reasons why you can't and lawlessly report to yourself.

And he was angry because of the lawlessness of the two idiots, who rushed back to report to him, but left Bai Chun there, just following Bai Chun's wishes.

Bai Chun didn't think about continuing to live anymore, she was afraid that she would implicate the prince because of herself, so her plan was to get the desired confession from Wang Kang and Wang Jing, and then die in their hands, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could deal with this matter without any scruples.

Bai Chun blamed himself for Li Hong's injury, and also blamed Bai Lu and Xiao Han's death, although this matter had nothing to do with her, but those people had a deep relationship with her back then, so Bai Chun always felt that he could no longer face Li Hong.

And they assassinated the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, if His Majesty was angry because of this matter, Bai Chun was afraid that the prince would be implicated because of himself, in case of another great change in the royal family, causing turmoil in the prince's position, he would be even more sorry for the prince.

"Bai Chun did the right thing, if she dies, you can make you, the prince, not implicated in anything." Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, whose thoughts were wandering and his eyes were empty, and said.

"What's in it for you to be Bai Chun dead? Erchen didn't think she was doing the right thing, only stupid and stupid people would do that. Li Hong said angrily.

Li Zhi ignored the unkindness in Li Hong's tone, shook his head and said, "Bai Chun can have a good master like you, even if he dies, he has no regrets." It's a pity that his master has too much tenderness in his heart, and the two palace maids who die can be depressed for several days. ”

"So what......

Li Honggang was about to refute, but saw Li Zhi looking outside the pavilion, shaking his hand with his back to him, sighing and saying: "Hong'er, this is the helplessness of being an emperor, as the crown prince, didn't you give up your original resoluteness and choose compromise for the sake of Bai Chun?" ”

Li Zhi turned around, his eyes were extremely bright, and he was full of wisdom at the moment, and looked at Li Hong and said.

Li Hong pursed his lips disdainfully, Li Zhi naturally knew his thoughts, this kid's character is to repay him, he is still too young and impulsive, and it is not good not to beat him.

Now that there is war on both the east and the west, if the Eastern Turks are provoked by this incident, Liu In-gyon, who is in Baekje, will be attacked on both sides.

sighed and walked to him, put his arm around Li Hong's shoulders and said: "Back then, the 200,000 iron cavalry of Jieli and Tuli were in Weishui, and your imperial grandfather had no choice but to accept an alliance with them, and gave a large amount of gold and silk property to the two. People like your imperial grandfather, who are wise and martial, and who are both good at martial arts, have chosen to lie dormant temporarily, and then after many years of hard work, they finally defeated them and suffered a humiliation. Hong'er, as the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can't you follow your grandfather's example? ”

At the window on the fifth floor, Wu Mei stood in front of the window, looking at the father and son in the garden talking heartily, and suddenly felt that it was a very happy thing for the royal family to have such a harmonious picture.

"Don't say that, Erchen didn't want to learn from the emperor's grandfather, not to mention that you are in the prime of your ...... now."

"Haha......." Li Zhi couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed twice, and said: "Father's body, Father knows in his heart, when you become emperor in the future, you will know that it is not so easy to sit up in this seat." ”

"Ugh......."

Li Hong could only sigh helplessly, Emperor Lao Tzu enlightened himself like this, if he was no longer interested, he would really have an itchy butt.

And in order to make himself no longer depressed, his father even compared himself with the emperor's grandfather, which is enough to imagine how much his father cares about himself.

Moreover, for so many years, what his father admired the most was that he took him to the court and the next court when he was a child, and after the death of the imperial grandmother, he kept him by his side and raised him personally.

"What about the Jinyang Wang Clan? You won't think that the Jinyang Wang clan is also ....... Li Hong asked.

"You don't have to ask much about this, the Jinyang Wang family was blinded by lard, it is really to blame, I will never spare it, I must give you and your mother an explanation?"

Li Hong glanced at Li Zhi and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very easy to do, the Jinyang Wang family tree has deep roots and is intertwined." It is not impossible to use this incident to divide them, and Erchen also has a good idea, the household department did give them several permission orders in Taiyi City this time, although the Jinyang Wang clan is dominant, but it is not without opponents ....... ”

"Grasp the proportions, and don't take advantage of the right of your household secretary to do things too much, especially now that the autumn harvest is over, and then it will enter the cold winter, the Yunzhong Protectorate needs a lot of food and property at this time of year, don't do anything about it." Li Zhi glanced at him with slanted eyes, and knew that he must not be well-intentioned.

The Yunzhong Protectorate now governs the entire Eastern Turkic land, and every year in winter, when they don't have enough food to eat, they will always stretch out their hands to ask him for food, and if Li Honghu is allowed to come, who knows if they will make the whole Yunzhong into a miasma.

"Don't worry, how could Erchen do this. By the way, don't you have to accompany your mother? Li Hong looked at the window on the fifth floor, and the queen mother, who was standing in front of the window just now and beckoned to his father, didn't know where to run at this time.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi asked strangely.

"It's okay, if you don't have to accompany your mother, how about your son take you out for a walk? Since you came, this Taiyi City has been full of courtiers behind your butt every day, and it is rare to be idle today, and the ministers are just honoring you. Li Hong looked around the garden, they were all guarded by Jin Wuwei, but in the entire garden, there were just the two of them, so they had no scruples about talking.

"Okay, yes, if your queen mother asks at that time, you remember that you took me out." Li Zhi hesitated and glanced at the window on the fifth floor, and he was also full of yearning to go out and breathe.

What's more, he also heard from Wu Mei's mouth how wonderful the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Dance was, and how prosperous Taiyi City was. I've been busy all this time, and I don't have time to appreciate it, so I just took advantage of today's leisure to go out and have a look.

"Okay, that's it." Li Honghun replied unconcernedly.

But when the father and son looked at each other, they both saw the betrayal in each other's eyes after Wu Mei asked: "No way, it was my father who asked his son to take him out." ”

And Li Zhi will definitely say: "Li Hong said that he took me to observe the people's feelings, and I am not very familiar with Taiyi City, so naturally he asked him to take me out to have a look." ”

Li Zhi himself is dressed in civilian clothes, but he doesn't need to deliberately disguise, he walked to the entrance of the garden, and easily recruited Yangwu, Li Hong also let Wucan, Wutian and others secretly accompany him, as for Hua Meng and others, they naturally need to follow closely around them.
