Chapter 50: A knife on the head of the word ninja
As soon as he took a breath, Li Hong saw Cheng Wu running into the big tent in a panic, looking frightened.
"What's so flustered?"
Li Hong's heart suddenly had a hint of foreboding, Cheng Wu had always been steady, what could make him so flustered.
Cheng Wu's face was ugly, and he walked quickly in front of Li Hong and said in a low voice.
"Your Highness, just now Master Zhang has sent a message, please go to Dali Temple immediately! Reputedly...... Zhou Guogong was poisoned! ”
What the?! What happened to Helan Minzhi? Li Hong's heart was shocked, and his face slowly sank.
Although Li Hong has made up his mind to kill Helan Minzhi, it can't be now!
Helan Minzhi can die, but he must be given death by Li Zhi himself!
In addition to him, if you want to deal with a prince, even if the Empress Wu gives an order, it will be criticized by the government and the opposition, after all, Li Zhi is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Now who doesn't know that it was Li Hong's idea that He Lan Minzhi was placed under house arrest in Dali Temple, not to mention that Zhang Wenjun, the secretary of Dali Temple, was Li Hong's cronies, and if He Lanmin's death was in Dali Temple now, a hat of "deliberately murdering Guogong" would definitely be detained on Li Hong's head.
What's more, this move will definitely attract the jealousy of the Empress Wu, a prince is so rampant that even her own nephew, the emperor's prince, dares to murder privately, it is simply a provocation to her!
I'm afraid that if Helan Minzhi is really dead, even Li Zhi will no longer protect him, who poisoned him, this trick is really ruthless.
"Let's go, go to Dali Temple!"
Li Hong gritted his teeth and said.
Dali Temple.
Helan Minzhi, as the Duke of the Kingdom, naturally will not be imprisoned in a cell like ordinary prisoners, but lives in a small courtyard that is cleaned up, although it is not as good as the Zhou Guogong Mansion, but the environment is not bad.
In the side hall of Dali Temple, Zhang Wenqian and Di Renjie had ugly faces and sat silently.
"Lord Zhang, Huaiying, how is the situation?"
Regardless of etiquette, as soon as he saw the two, Li Hong asked eagerly.
Zhang Wenqian and Di Renjie glanced at each other, and Di Renjie said.
"Your Highness is at ease, Zhou Guogong is fine! As soon as Lord Zhang found out that Zhou Guogong was poisoned, he immediately invited the imperial doctor to come, and now Zhou Guogong has vomited everything he has eaten, and he only needs to recuperate! ”
Hearing Di Renjie say this, Li Hong calmed down, as long as the person is not dead, if Helan Minzhi is really dead, I am afraid that Li Hong's matter will be big.
Glancing at the two, Li Hong asked a little strangely.
"If it's okay, why are the two of you so ugly?"
Zhang Wenqian sighed and said.
"Your Highness, as soon as Zhou Guogong wakes up, he will play the book and tell His Majesty and Niangniang about the poisoning, I'm afraid that at this moment the book is already on the way to the Eastern Capital."
Li Hong's face immediately became ugly.
Although Helan Minzhi is now under house arrest in Dali Temple, he is only restricted from freedom of movement, he is still the Duke of Zhou Guogong who is enshrined by Li Zhiqin, and if he wants to play one thing to Li Zhi, no one has the right to stop him!
But his front foot was poisoned, and his back foot was written and sent to the Eastern Capital, this interlocking action made Li Hong feel that this was a bitter ploy.
But what's in it for them? Is Bo sympathetic? ”
Li Hong pondered for a moment, but still didn't understand why the other party wanted to direct and act in such a big play, was it just to play a bitter trick, so that everyone thought that it was him Li Hong who was persecuting Helan Minzhi?
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Helan Minzhi's poisoning is inseparable from Li Hong, but rumors are rumors, speculation is speculation, and without evidence, these illusory things can't help Li Hong at all.
Di Renjie glanced at Li Hong and said slowly.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the time to open the trial of the assassination case in the Imperial City!"
Could it be ......
It turns out that they hit this idea! Li Hong sneered.
Since Helan Minzhi has been poisoned, the trial will inevitably be postponed again, and the last trial was almost one step away from convicting Helan Minzhi, even if the Empress Wu wants to protect Helan Minzhi, he must also take into account the criticism of the government and the opposition, assassinating the prince is the crime of extermination, as long as he He Lanmin bears this charge, he will definitely die, and even the Empress Wu will be implicated.
If Li Hong's expectations are good, the news of He Lanmin's poisoning will spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City tomorrow, and if Li Hong, as the biggest suspect, still insists on holding a court to try the assassination case in the imperial city, then in the eyes of everyone, it will become Li Hong's unscrupulous means in order to put He Lanmin's death.
Rumors are fiercer than tigers!
At that time, Li Hong had a thousand mouths, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
If it is delayed until Li Zhi and Empress Wu return to Beijing, it will be difficult to convict him!
If it is really a good method, even if Li Hong guesses the other party's purpose, he has to stop the trial of this case, otherwise he will not be able to take off the hat of poisoning Helan Min.
This is a righteous conspiracy!
"Since they want to postpone it, what if Lone gets their wish!"
Li Hong said coldly.
"How Helan Minzhi was poisoned, have you found out?"
He was very curious about who had come up with this plan and forced him to retreat!
"Back to Your Highness, before Zhou Guogong was poisoned, Li Yang, who had been prepared for a thousand years, once came to visit!"
Di Renjie said meaningfully.
Li Yang? Is that the Li Yang who instigated Donggong Liurate to confront Li Hong? Li Hong was angry for a while, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone to settle accounts with him, so he turned around and made trouble for himself first.
After Li Hong took over the sixth rate of the East Palace that day, he directly sent this Li Yang away.
It's not that Li Hong was merciful and let him go, it's just that there is no evidence, and Li Yang is the son of Li Yifu after all, although he and the old guy in Li Yifu have long fallen out, but Li Yifu is the prime minister's respect no matter what he says, and his son, Li Hong is not easy to deal with casually.
So I had to fire him casually, out of sight.
However, since Li Yang came, I am afraid that it will have nothing to do with Li Yifu.
Li Hong gritted his teeth for a while, Li Yifu, this old thing, is still restless in the Eastern Capital, and he is against him everywhere, it is really hateful!
"Now that we've come to this point, let's wait and see what happens!"
After thinking about everything, Li Hong calmed down, needless to say, Li Yifu must have expected the current situation, I am afraid that if he makes a move, he will join him in front of Li Zhi, not to mention that now that this kind of thing has happened, it is bound to be impossible to continue to try the assassination case in the imperial city, it is better to wait for Li Zhi to return to Beijing and then make plans.
Di Renjie and Zhang Wenjun glanced at each other, they were originally worried that Li Hong would insist on holding a trial in anger, but they didn't expect Li Hong to be much more stable than they imagined.
"Your Highness is wise!"
