Chapter 312: Victory
Only then did everyone remember that this peace negotiation was personally responsible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not to mention that the emperor and queen now attach great importance to this matter.
If the major event of peace talks is really delayed, I am afraid that the first person to be punished is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Therefore, no matter who poisoned him, it would not be His Royal Highness the Prince, because once something really happened to the Turks, all the responsibility would be on the Prince.
At this thought, Li Zhi's face softened slightly, now the peace talks are related to the major events of the Eastern Crusade, and the Eastern Crusade has always been his wish, this time it is finally a good time for the Goguryeo civil strife, so Li Zhi will never allow anyone to think crookedly in this matter!
However, if it was not Li Hong's doing, then who was secretly sabotaging the peace talks?
Li Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, but he fell silent.
However, seeing this scene, Liu Renliang on the side was anxious, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to say.
"Your Majesty don't worry, although this matter is appalling, but fortunately, Di Sicheng found it in time! There were no casualties among the Turks, only a young eagle died! The peace talks should not be delayed, this is the great luck in misfortune! ”
Read between the lines!
It's definitely a word for words!
At first glance, Liu Renliang's two sentences seemed to be just sighing, and even a little praise for Di Renjie.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, the other meaning is not so simple.
That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed responsible for the peace talks, and if something happens over there, the responsibility lies entirely with the Prince.
But don't forget!
Poisoning is true, but it's also true that there are no casualties!
None of the Turks ate the poisoned raw meat, which means that the progress of the peace talks will not be delayed by half a minute, and the crown prince has successfully escaped the charge of transferring troops without permission......
I have to say that although Liu Renliang's two sentences are simple, they are extremely clever, and they quietly provoke Li Zhi's suspicions again.
"Liu Zhengze, what do you mean by this? Is it true that you will only be satisfied if the peace talks are suspended? ”
Seeing this scene, Hao Chujun on the side finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted.
"Hmph, the old man is just talking about things, why should Hao Zhongshu be angry!"
Liu Renliang flicked his sleeves and said coldly, but there was a hint of smugness between his eyebrows.
He wants to see how Li Hong should get out now!
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became strange, the emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and his face was a little gloomy, obviously Liu Renliang's words just now had an effect......
But at this moment, an attendant hurriedly walked in and whispered two words in Wu Liangfu's ear, and the next moment, Wu Liangfu's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Because Wu Liangfu was not far from the throne, and Li Zhi happened to be very irritable at the moment, he was a little impatient when he spoke.
Hearing the emperor's irritable tone, Wu Liangfu didn't delay for the moment, arched his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, the news has just come from Honglu Temple, just half an hour ago, two thieves sneaked into Honglu Temple, and the Turkic Khan Ashina Funian was assassinated, and now he is unconscious, please make a decision!"
Wu Liangfu was in a hurry, and his voice was not deliberately lowered, and it was clear to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and everyone's expressions became extremely strange at this moment.
Especially Liu Renliang, that old face was like being slapped left and right twice, hot and red.
He was still saying that the Turks were safe and sound, secretly insinuating that all this was a conspiracy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he was immediately slapped in the face nakedly.
The Turkic khans were assassinated and fell unconscious, is it not a problem to say that the safety of the Turks in Chang'an City?
Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not have transferred troops to protect him?
Liu Renliang's face turned red, as if he felt mocking glances in all directions!
But in fact, no one noticed the change in Liu Renliang, and everyone had already been shocked by the news that Wu Liangfu said.
If they had questioned Li Hong's statement just now, now that the facts were in front of them, they couldn't help but believe it.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and we must not delay any longer, we should immediately send troops to track down the traces of the thieves, and immediately protect the people in the Honglu Temple! In the opinion of the old minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the peace talks, and he has detected the ambition of the thief in advance, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be fully responsible for this matter! ”
I have to say that as the chief prime minister of the political affairs hall, Xu Jingzong's decisiveness was not obtained out of thin air, just when everyone was still in shock, Xu Jingzong's face was solemn and he stepped forward.
Immediately afterwards, several other people in the political hall also reacted, moved out of their positions one by one, and arched their hands.
"Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal!"
In desperation, Liu Renliang gritted his teeth and bowed respectfully in the direction of Li Zhi, which can be regarded as showing his attitude.
Li Zhi's face was a little gloomy, obviously the news of Ashina's assassination also caught him a little off guard, and after a pause, Li Zhi said in a deep voice.
"Prince, this matter will be handed over to you to be fully responsible, order Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Chang'an Order to cooperate in the investigation, and be sure to arrest the thief as soon as possible, in addition, I allow you to mobilize the six rates of the East Palace to be responsible for the safety of Honglu Temple, until the end of the peace talks, the Imperial Doctor ordered to take people to Honglu Temple immediately, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of Ashina Funian!"
As a result, this thrilling court meeting ended in Li Zhi's extremely angry order.
After the next court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately rushed to Honglu Temple with the people from the Imperial Hospital.
The rest of the ministers are still talking about it, and no one expected that His Royal Highness King Yong, who was menacing before the previous dynasty, was steadily resolved by His Royal Highness the Prince.
This is a good thing, not only did it not touch the slightest foundation of His Royal Highness the Prince, but on the contrary, he lost his wife and soldiers, and even Pei Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, folded in, which also made many forces who were still waiting and watching even more disappointed in Li Xian.
But having said that, everyone is more concerned about another thing, that is, who did the assassination of the Turkic Khan this time? In other words, which force did it?
You must know that now that the peace talks between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are at a critical moment, the Turkic New Year's coins can greatly relieve the pressure of the Eastern Crusade.
The ministers were all talking about these things, but Li Xian stood motionless with a gloomy face until all the ministers had left the hall.
Li Xianfang raised his head and looked at the direction Li Hong left, the fists in his sleeve robe had already been clenched tightly, and the joints of his bones had become a little white because of this...... (To be continued.) )
