Chapter 397: Night Cold Moon White (2)

Gao Zheng said: "Your Highness, no, the queen is attached to the emperor, stabbing Ming Chongyan to death, in case the emperor is seriously ill, it is the most beneficial for His Highness." ”

"That's exactly why the queen will do this more and more, you don't understand," Li Xian turned his head and asked the servant, "Did that Ming Chongyan stab him to death?" ”

"Nope."

"You tell me in detail what you've heard."

"Yes," this servant is also one of Li Xian's most intimate servants, after hearing the news, he faintly felt that it was unfavorable to his master, and inquired very carefully, and replied: "At that time, Ming Chongyan was shopping on the southeast corner of Dongshi, when suddenly three assassins flashed out, holding horizontal knives, and rushed straight towards him. But the assassin was a little negligent, Ming Chongyan had a lot of money in his hands, and he was afraid that people would harm him, so he came out this time and brought five guards. Just caught off guard, two guards blocked, one was stabbed to death by the assassin, and the other was injured. Another assassin didn't block it, so he pounced in front of Ming Chongyan, and Ming Chongyan gave in, not stabbing in the chest, but stabbing the knife into the body. The assassin was about to pull his knife and stab again, when two other guards pounced. After a fierce battle, another guard was stabbed to death. Then he saw the officials of the East City running over, and the three assassins took advantage of the chaos of the East City and ran away. ”

Li Xian asked, "Zhang Xianggong, did you hear anything?" ”

"It's definitely not arranged by Ming Chongyan himself, the knife has already stabbed in, the sword is ruthless, what if the stab is in the wrong place? And I won't choose to be in the East City. ”

The imperial court legislates, and the three grades or more are not on the market, of course, the law may not be the only law to be followed at this time. But it is not a good thing for officials to walk around the market.

"These three people are very good, Ming Chongyan has money in his hands, and the guards he hired are not bad, but two of them died and one was injured, although it was done in a hurry, it was not easy."

Gao Zheng asked: "Could it be that King Zhou sent someone to do it?" ”

Zhang Da'an replied: "No, King Zhou does not have this power, and he also needs time, I hope the emperor lives well, the longer he lives, the more opportunities he can have." Besides, even if it was deliberately arranged, injured but not killed, it was difficult for him to know Ming Chongyan's background, let alone that he had money in his hands and could hire a group of fierce rangers as guards. However, I have to ask again, have these three assassins been caught, and how are Ming Chongyan's injuries? ”

This is easy to ask, and they also have people in Dali Temple.

Sent a servant to inquire, what a bad thing it is for a five-grade official of the imperial court to be assassinated on the street? Moreover, this official may not be very talented, but he is very important to the emperor. The Yongzhou government and all the officials of Chang'an County and Wannian County were all dispatched to search for the Assassins all over the streets.

This incident quickly alarmed the inner palace.

Li Zhi sent eunuchs and imperial doctors to Ming Chongyan's mansion to check on his injuries.

But the murderer was not caught.

After hearing the report, Zhang Daan nodded silently. agreed with Ming Chongyan's opinion, only if the queen has the ability to find out some details of Qingming Chongyan, can she mobilize three good players, so that the government can't find out, and can Ming Chongyan be injured but not die.

Can Guan Jian explain it clearly?

When discussing countermeasures, Li Zhi sent someone to pass Li Xian into the palace.

With a gloomy face, he said, "You kneel down." ”

Li Xian had no choice but to kneel.

"Are you really so vicious?"

"The son is wronged."

"I know you're doing a clean job, but I really need proof for everything?"

"Erchen asked Di Renjie to come and wait to solve this case."

"Di Renjie, he is far away in Suzhou, and he will return to Xijing at this time, well, you have a good idea."

In fact, Di Renjie can't solve any case, such as the shield case, but he didn't expect that it was actually done by a princess in Tubo in order to borrow seeds. can only say that he is very good at solving cases, and he is better than ordinary people. Also, there are some cases that cannot be touched. Some cases take a long time to take advantage of the situation.

Whether this assassination case was instigated by Wu Zetian or not, Di Renjie couldn't touch it. Even if he can touch it, will he be willing to help Li Xian? You must know that he can't even hate to strangle Li Xian to death in Jiangnan!

"It's the son's minister, father, think about it, will the son's minister send assassins to openly assassinate the officials of the imperial court in the downtown area?"

"No one else will, but you will."

Wu Zetian tugged Li Zhi's elbow and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Xian'er, come here, this palace asked the bachelor of Beimen to write two books, one is called "The Biography of Filial Piety" and the other is called "Shaoyang Zhengfan", read it carefully when you go back." ”

With a wave of his hand, the eunuch took out two books and handed them to Li Xian.

Li Xian was very depressed, and wanted to say, why pretend, this case is that you deliberately sent someone to assassinate Ming Chongyan, so you were injured but not killed. But he couldn't speak, so he had to say: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Back at home, anxious.

Fang Shi made a pot of tea, poured it for him, and said softly: "Your Highness, the concubine has a sentence that has been held in my heart for a long time and has always wanted to say." ”

"You say."

"When the concubine first married you, you also had some bad habits (referring to cockfighting and gay), but they were just some inconspicuous bad habits. At that time, you were still gentle and elegant, and you were good at learning, and the concubine felt very happy to marry you. But what about then? ”

"Princess, I know that I have done some bad things, but some things are like arrows on the string, and I have to send them."

"It seems reasonable, but is it reasonable? You are blinded by power, "Fang's is very sad, if Li Xian himself is not moved, no matter how Li Zhi helps, I will not be on top, what can I do?" In fact, Li Xian himself also wanted to be on the throne and was in a hurry, so he fell deeper and deeper.

Li Xian was silent.

"Men have to be ambitious, but they have to learn to see the wind and steer. First of all, people, Your Highness, look at the people around you, that is, how many clever ideas Zhang Da'an has come up with, it is for your own good, but because of his lack of talent, he is eager to do it, and he acts too evilly. If you look at the people originally used by the prince, they were Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong at the beginning, and that Yao Yuanchong was all square gentlemen. Liu Renliang and Li Jingxuan have a small belly, but they are also important ministers and have deep qualifications. They are also teaching the prince to fight, where to fight, not how to harm others and how to do all kinds of rebellious things. Instead, he taught the prince how to establish political achievements, how to win the hearts of the people, how to advance and retreat in a measured manner, and fight for righteousness, reputation, and the hearts of officials and the people. So it seems that the crown prince has been repeatedly suppressed by the emperor and retreated step by step, but in fact, the emperor is very worried. First of all, you don't use it well, how can you fight? ”

"I also want to use good ministers, but the eldest brother has been in charge of the country for many years, and he has been the prince since he was a child, so the officials help each other, but who will help me with these good officials?"

"Your Highness, you are still obsessed."

"I don't understand."

"It's not a good official to vote, what kind of person Di Renjie was at the beginning, a small law cao in a state, if you say something unpleasant, Your Highness may look down on you. What kind of character is Wei Yuanzhong, an undesirable little bachelor, who can't be on the stage among the guests of your palace. What kind of character is Yao Yuanchong, none of them have the best cloth clothes. And what kind of characters is that Hu Ying father and son? A copper-smelling businessman. You have to see it with your eyes, not only to see, but also to be able to use it. Take a look, when he arrived in the army, several generals he reused, what kind of heroes have become in Qinghai today? ”

Li Xian was finally speechless.

"With the employment of people alone, how can you compete with your eldest brother?"

"So ......"

"So what? Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and once your eldest brother comes back, you have no chance at all. Or the emperor will support you, just a prop to restrain your eldest brother. If your eldest brother doesn't come back, under the queen's various means, can you really inherit this unification? ”

"Why do I have such a mother?" Li Xian burst into tears.

"Your Highness, don't fight. It's too late to let go now, you are still the most honorable prince in the world (Yong, Chang'an), in addition to imperial power, you can also enjoy endless glory and wealth. ”

"You are right, but in the future, whether it is the eldest brother or the third brother ascending the throne, they will not let me go."

The third brother's brainless goods, the three of them provoked, plus hatred for themselves, they could do anything. Big brother is better, don't admit it. But because of himself, tens of thousands of Qinghai soldiers sacrificed in vain. put him to death again, for himself, his younger brother did such a thing, no matter how big his belly was, he would not tolerate it.

Fang was finally speechless.

I regretted it in my heart, I knew that this was the case, and when my husband wanted to buy Zhang Guidong, he forcibly dissuaded him. After most of the day, he said, "Now you have to retreat." The emperor is in good health, what are you still doing in prison? ”

"Yes." It doesn't make much sense to re-incarnate the country, when the eldest brother did that, his father was not at ease, not to mention himself.

"Also, several prime ministers in the court, and the concubines will count them for you. Pei Yan's concubine can't understand it, why does he want to support King Lu? Brother Cui Zhiwen, don't think about supporting King Zhou. Wang Dezhen is the queen's person, and His Royal Highness has no idea. Xue Yuanchao returned to Beijing this time, the dynamics were unknown, and the concubines were very worried that he would defect to the queen. Liu Renliang has a small belly, and he will not tolerate you. Li Yiyan and Hao Chujun have strong personalities, and you can't negotiate with them. There are only two people, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenjun. Go to their house and take a look at it, and confess to them a mistake in a veiled way. They are all elders and will focus on the big picture. You don't count, these two elders are talking a thousand pounds. ”

Take a look, how good Li Zhi is, and now a few princes visit the prime minister publicly, and it doesn't matter.

And these prime ministers have their own masters, but they don't have his henchmen.

"But how can I open this mouth?"

"Your Highness, if it's not easy to open, you have to open it! Let's take a look, what are these two books? Is this "The Legend of Filial Piety" and "Shaoyang Zhengfan", they are two life talismans. ”

Li Xian was taken aback.

Only then did he clearly realize that in fact, since his mother played the two cards of the third brother and nephew, he did not have many hole cards, just like a paper tiger, which was broken as soon as he was pushed. In a daze, he came to Dai Zhide's house.

In fact, this idea is wrong, it's not that there are no hole cards, his hole cards are not worse than Wu Zetian, but the wisdom is insufficient, the means are insufficient, and the skills of power and scheming are insufficient, and it is not like Li Wei who is also the prince, and firmly grasps the righteousness in his hands. He has such a gap, and he wants to have a carp jump over the dragon gate immediately, rough and rough, can this dragon gate really jump over?

Dai Zhide is an elder, which is good, and he also gave an audience, and politely asked people to serve tea and sit down.

Li Xian said: "Dai Xianggong, I came to say two things, the first thing, Ming Chongyan's thing was not done by me. The second thing, big brother, I did a lot of things wrong. ”

It's not easy, especially the later words, to be able to say it, it takes a lot of courage.

Dai Zhide sighed and said, "Actually, Li Jingxuan also knows about Qinghai, and I know it. Just for the sake of the country and the society, they didn't say anything. On the road, Li Jingxuan knew that he was at great fault, and his words were also good. He advised me to focus on the overall situation. When His Highness was young, he was elegant and extraordinary, and his heart was not evil. Later, because he coveted the throne, he did something wrong, and he was the master. Therefore, I have repeatedly persuaded several prime ministers to give priority to social welfare, provide you with appropriate assistance, and not let the political situation continue to be chaotic. ”

Li Xian listened, and his eyes showed hope.

Dai Zhide said: "At that time, I thought it was reasonable, although the prince was wrecked, the minister was heartbroken and couldn't sleep at night. But after thinking about it for so many days and watching it for so many days, I finally realized a truth. ”

"What?"

"Even if you don't make the move of framing tens of thousands of soldiers and your eldest brother in Qinghai, many ministers will help you the crown prince, but they still won't help you. Do you believe it or not? ”

"Yes...... Why? ”

"Alas, you still don't understand, maybe you think that half of the ministers in the court have taken refuge in you, but how many people have really taken refuge in you? How many ministers are there who are truly virtuous and capable? ”

"Yes...... Why? ”
