"Are you sure about that? This official solemnly tells you that this matter involves the prince, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will be in trouble, and it will be too late to regret it. www.biquge.info"Li Zhaode has heard that the crown prince Li Xiannai is a virtuous person, whether it is personal virtue or political ability has been praised by the emperor, although there are also rumors about the prince all kinds of unbearable, but he thinks that it must be his rumors and slander, it is precisely because of this psychology that this person who has always been upright said such a thing, the purpose is naturally to try his best to protect the prince."

But unexpectedly, the man said firmly: "Qiyu Mansion Jun, the villain dares to confirm that this person is Zhao Daosheng's cousin, because this Zhao Daoming lives in the same workshop with the villain, and the villain has seen Zhao Daosheng walking with him, and Zhao Daosheng once called himself a cousin, and the matter involves His Royal Highness the Prince, how dare the villain talk nonsense about such a big matter?" Isn't the villain dying? ”

Li Zhaode thought about it for a while, and now seeing that the other party was so determined, he had no choice but to report to the emperor, saying that he had found a clue, but because the suspect was a palace slave next to the prince, he didn't dare to make his own claim and asked the emperor to make a decree.

At this time, the emperor's car had already rushed from Luoyang to Chang'an, and when he received the news, Gaozong and Empress Wu were already on the way, at this time Gaozong was obviously a little hesitant, because the matter involved the prince, and Gaozong knew the contradiction between the prince and the Empress Wu, so he was afraid that Empress Wu would frame the prince, and resolutely refused to agree to publicly arrest Zhao Daosheng.

Empress Wu saw Gaozong like this, although he was very anxious, but there was no way, and finally had to exercise a roundabout strategy, and persuaded Gaozong to agree to secretly arrest Zhao Daosheng, quietly interrogated, if it was really not the prince's doing, then Zhao Daosheng was secretly released, and the one who was arrested and tortured was just a slave, and he did not lose the face of the East Palace, Gaozong had soft ears, and this was reasonable after listening to Empress Wu, so he reluctantly agreed to this proposition, and Empress Wu then issued a decree to Li Zhaode, asking Li Zhaode to act quickly and secretly arrest Zhao Daosheng, and conduct secret interrogations.

Li Zhaode had no choice but to give an order to secretly arrest Zhao Daosheng, and it happened that Zhao Daosheng did not know how to advance or retreat, so he appeared on the street with a swagger, and was naturally arrested by Li Zhaode's officials and secretly arrested him.

During the next interrogation, Li Zhaode originally thought that Zhao Daosheng would definitely deny it, but he didn't expect that after only the first round of interrogation, he just saw the red-hot soldering iron, Zhao Daosheng recruited everything, admitting that the assassination of Ming Chongyan was the mastermind of the prince, and he found his cousin Zhao Daoming to carry out a specific task, and he didn't know that his cousin was also dead until later, but he thought that no one in this world would ever know this secret again, so he swaggered out on the streets.

In addition, Zhao Daosheng also took the initiative to admit that the dirty rumors between himself and the prince were indeed true, all of which made Li Zhaode shake his head, secretly sorry for the prince, and at the same time he was quite indignant in his heart, he was originally so optimistic about the prince, but he didn't expect it to be so ridiculous behind it.

In addition to being disappointed, Li Zhaode held the psychology of breaking the jar and breaking it, and reported the results of the interrogation to the Criminal Department, and then passed it to the hands of the Empress Wu through the Criminal Department.

However, Empress Wu did not immediately determine that the mastermind of this matter was the crown prince Li Xian, only to see her frown and say: "It's just a confession, how can you be sure that it was the prince who did it?" Although Zhao Daosheng is a close attendant of the prince, he should be loyal to the prince, but as soon as he was interrogated, he immediately confessed, could there be something hidden in this? Therefore, the matter cannot be settled like this, in case the prince is wronged, this will become a laughing stock. ”

Gaozong was worried that the crown prince would be convicted because of this, and after listening to the words of the Empress Wu, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, what the Queen of Heaven said is very reasonable, we can't wronged a good person, Mei Niang, you are so clear and open-minded, I really appreciate it." ”

Empress Wu smiled when she heard this, and then thanked Gaozong for his praise, and then said slowly: "The concubine is also on the matter, dedicated to the public, but the concubine thinks that if you want to completely clear the suspicion of the prince, you need to send someone to the East Palace to search, Your Majesty does not need to be suspicious, this search is just a formality, I believe that as long as you go through this search, you will definitely return the prince's innocence." ”

"Hehe, Mei Niang, you are Xian'er's biological mother, what other malice can you have towards Xian'er? If I don't have the most basic trust in this point, then it would be a strange thing, since this is the case, I am accurate, I immediately ordered a hundred horsemen to go to the East Palace to search, I believe that this time the prince will be innocent, as for Zhao Daosheng, this slave, hum, as a slave, he dared to say that the master was right and wrong, and he was killed directly. Speaking of which, Gaozong's face was already full of iron, and he obviously hated Zhao Daosheng and other minions who betrayed their masters, and demanded that such minions be resolutely executed.

However, the crown prince was not convicted, and the case was not yet concluded, Empress Wu still persuaded Gaozong to do so, only to hear Empress Wu say: "Your Majesty and leave Zhao Daosheng alive for the time being, and after the case is concluded, he will be dealt with for the crime of falsely accusing the lord, and give an explanation to the prince, as well as to the officials and the people." ”

When Gaozong heard this, he immediately felt reasonable, so he ordered Zhao Daosheng to be moved to Dali Temple for detention, ordered someone to take care of him, and at the same time ordered Baiqi to go to the East Palace for search.

Gaozong originally thought that this search was just a routine matter, and what he got in exchange was only the innocence of the prince, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but after waiting for half an hour, he suddenly saw Li Zhonglin, the commander of the hundred cavalry, come to the hall with a solemn face, and said to Gaozong: "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to search the prince's East Palace, and as a result, the result was ......."

"The result? Don't panic, take your time. Seeing that the face of the commander of the hundred horsemen was different, and his speech was incoherent, Gao Zong couldn't help but sink in his heart and said slowly.

I saw Li Zhonglin hesitate for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not found evidence that the prince murdered Dr. Ming......"

"Why are you so nervous when you haven't found it? You've lost so many years with me, and you're so useless. Gaozong pointed at Li Zhonglin and scolded with an angry smile.

saw Li Zhonglin sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Although no evidence was found to murder Doctor Ming, Weichen discovered another big thing, the prince, the prince He intends to rebel!" ”

"What do you say?" Gaozong was taken aback when he heard this, looked at Li Zhonglin with a face full of disbelief, and asked word by word: "You tell me again, what did you find in the East Palace?" If you can't tell, I'll kill you! ”

In the end, Gaozong's face was full of hideousness and murderous intent, as long as Li Zhonglin did not deal with it well, I believe that his great head would be quickly cut down. (To be continued.) )
