Chapter 222: Showdown with the two
East Palace.
At this time, it was close to evening, and after Li Hong came back from Helan Mansion, he immediately sent people to invite Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide to come over, after all, Li Xian's matter was too big!
Before this, Li Hong had always thought that his enemy was the Empress Wu, and he had never thought about such a thing as seizing the heir, but the reality was in front of him, his restless younger brother was plotting trouble, and if it was not contained, he didn't know what would happen......
However, now that the New Year is approaching, it is not easy to get out of the political hall and Dali Temple, so the two of them have not rushed over until now.
"I've seen Your Highness!"
Coincidentally, the two came to the East Palace at the same time.
However, it was too late to greet each other, so they sat down separately, because both of them keenly felt that today's things were not simple.
This can be known just by looking at His Royal Highness the Prince's solemn expression, but what makes them a little puzzled is that if something big happens, it must be the Political Affairs Hall that gets the news first, but this time, even Dai Zhide is confused, and he doesn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned them at this time......
So as soon as he sat down, Zhang Wenqian asked.
"Your Highness, can't something happen?"
"Uh......"
Li Hong smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and didn't know where to start for a while, and after a while, he finally found an entry point, and then spoke.
"Do you know that Li Yifu was exiled ahead of schedule?"
Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
The two of them naturally knew about this matter, and Li Yifu had a special identity. The early exile of him must be approved by the political affairs hall and the Dali Temple, so the beginning and end of the matter. Both of them knew very well.
After a moment, Dai Zhide nodded. interface channel.
"The old minister knew about this matter, because Li Yang, who was prepared by a thousand cows, fought with people in the market and killed people by mistake, which caused His Majesty's mother to be furious, and Niangniang clearly ordered to exile his father and son from Beijing immediately! Why, does Your Highness think there is something strange about this matter? ”
Since Li Hong mentioned this matter, Dai Zhide asked in passing, in fact, he didn't see that there was something strange at that time. But at that time, Li Yifu had already fallen, and Li Yang was also involved in the sale of the official mantle, so even if there was no such thing, Li Yang would have been exiled to Shanzhou with Li Yifu, and now it was just a few days earlier.
What's more, at that time, it was said that Li Zhi was so angry that he was dizzy, and the Ming Decree of the Empress Wu arrived in the Political Affairs Hall, and Dai Zhide was not good at using the power of the Political Affairs Hall to refute this trivial matter, so he drafted the decree according to the intention of the Empress Wu!
At this moment, I heard Li Hong mention this matter. Dai Zhide vaguely felt that something was wrong, and his tone became solemn.
"Well, if Lone's prediction is good, I'm afraid that Li Yifu has died on the road now......"
Li Hong sighed softly. The look was a little complicated.
"How is that possible? Who is so bold? ”
At this moment, Zhang Wenjun's face also changed, it is one thing for Li Yifu to be guilty, but he used to be in an important position after all. What's more, since the emperor has already been punished, can anyone still dare to kill him?
"Because of some people. I don't want him to speak! ”
Li Hong said with a sneer.
"In the original assassination case of the Imperial City, Lone vaguely felt that it was related to Li Yifu. It's just that there is no evidence, and it is difficult to determine, and it wasn't until a few days ago that Gu got tangible evidence to prove that Li Yifu was related to the case, but at the same time, Gu found that it was not only He Lanmin who colluded with Li Yifu, but also a figure who had been hidden behind the scenes......"
These words are half-truths and half-truths, although Li Hong can determine that the assassination of the imperial city is indispensable to the shadow of Li Yifu, but if you want to talk about evidence, there is no evidence.
It's just that now Li Yifu is only afraid that he has died on the road, so Li Hong has a little less to worry about.
"Oh? Who is this person? ”
Dai Zhide frowned and asked in a deep voice.
However, Li Hong did not answer him directly, but continued.
"And according to Lone's investigation, the last time Li Yifu impeached the Western Expeditionary Army, it seems that there is also a shadow of this person!"
This time, it's not Li Hong talking nonsense, now that I think about it carefully, Pei Xingjian has always been good friends with Li Hong, and if he really asks him to pay homage, I'm afraid it will be a big help for him.
And this is obviously not what some people want to see.
In fact, Li Hong has been strange from the beginning, Empress Wu is a shrewd person, and she has always been clear about the importance of government affairs, she will never provoke the contradiction between civil and military courtiers in order to prevent Pei Xingjian from worshipping the prime minister, as for some people, I am afraid that they will not take this into account!
The bigger the trouble, the more Li Hong, the prince, will be able to get out, and when Li Zhi is really to blame, I'm afraid Li Hong won't be able to escape......
More importantly, if you can take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the military, you can take the opportunity to arrange your own men and horses to get in, why not?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Hong's expression became a little colder.
And Zhang Wenjun's face also sank.
"Your Highness, such a person who disturbs the court must not be indulged lightly, please make your Highness clear the identity of this person, and the old minister will have a book, please Your Majesty strictly investigate this matter!"
The old man was still in a fiery temperament, and as soon as he heard that someone was manipulating behind the affairs of the Great Dynasty Meeting, he immediately became excited and said indignantly.
"Zhang Siqing, don't be impatient, now we have no evidence, and this person's identity is really a bit special, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"
Seeing Zhang Wenjun's posture, Li Hong felt a little helpless in his heart and comforted.
As soon as Li Hong spoke, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian both set their eyes on him, their faces solemn and awe-inspiring.
Obviously, the person Li Hong said has attracted their attention enough.
In fact, it is not that Li Hong deliberately wants to hang his appetite, but Li Xian's identity is too terrifying, and before this, his reputation has always been excellent, Li Hong is afraid that the two of them will be difficult to accept for a while, so he has done so much foreshadowing.
After settling down, Li Hong took a deep breath and said slowly.
"The person Lone said is Lone's sixth brother, Yongwang Li Xian!"
As soon as these words were finished, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian were both stunned, and then a look of incredulity appeared on their faces.
"Is what Your Highness said true?"
Li Xian has always had the name of a virtuous king outside, and he is also very harmonious with several other princes, if it is another person to say that the person behind these things is Li Xian, Zhang Wenqian will never believe it.
But on the contrary, the person who said this sentence in front of him was the student who grew up watching him, Li Xian's own brother Li Hong!
Compared with Li Xian's reputation, Zhang Wenqian believes in Li Hong's character more, if it were not for conclusive evidence, Li Hong would never say it rashly.
And with Li Hong nodded cautiously.
The two old ministers in the hall both frowned! (To be continued.) )
