Chapter 1025: The Secret of the Former Sui
Chapter 1025 The Secret of the Former Sui
It didn't take long for a riot to gradually subside, there were a lot of assassins, but in this Taiji Palace, more than 50 assassins were far from enough, in the face of the wolf-like Yu Linwei, what could these 50 people do?
Although the assassins were completely killed, the worry in Fang Yi's love did not diminish at all, he felt that the matter was too simple, those who sent the assassins were fools, they should know that the assassins alone could not kill Li Shimin, and they could not even touch Li Shimin's cold hair. But why did they do it when they knew it was impossible?
There were too many doubts in his heart, but the woman in white didn't say a word, looking at the dim sky, Fang Yiai's mind appeared the smile of the woman in white before she died. Her smile was full of disdain, full of mockery, why did she smile so happily even though she didn't hurt Li Shimin?
Fang Yiai suddenly understood what was going on, could it be that these people were just using it to hide people's ears? But if it is the Ming Xiu plank road and the darkness of Chen Cang, then where is Chen Cang?
With many questions in his heart, he put away his knife and came to Li Shimin's side, "Father, the assassin has been killed, but the son-in-law always feels that things are not so simple!" ”
"Jun'er, do you feel it too?" Li Shimin's brows were also tightly locked, and after he settled down, he began to have some suspicions, if someone wanted to assassinate him Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace, just a few dozen people were not enough. If it was him Li Shimin who arranged this matter, he would definitely mess up the palace first, and then take the opportunity to do it, instead of swarming with Yu Linwei like this. It's fake, it's too fake, but why this is happening, Li Shimin can't figure it out.
"Father, the son-in-law really feels that something is wrong, but why these people want to do this, the son-in-law still can't figure it out. It seems that there is nothing more important in the palace than the father and the emperor! ”
Just when Li Shimin and Fang Yiai were both having a headache, they saw a Yu Linwei running over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, it's not bad, Concubine Yang has been kidnapped!" ”
"What?" Li Shimin sat in the chair as if he had been hit by something. Li Shimin's reaction made Fang Yiai a little incomprehensible, even if Concubine Yang was taken away, Li Shimin should not have this expression, because Li Shimin's current expression is not worry, but more of a fear.
What kind of secret does Yang Fei have? Fang Yiai didn't dare to ask. He felt that this secret could make Li Shimin so frightened. That's definitely not going to be too easy.
Zhao Chong ignored the assassin's corpse. Instead, he ran to the palace gate, and after inquiring, he learned that more than a dozen people had taken His Majesty's token to escort a carriage out of the palace. Zhao Chong's heart was cold for no reason, because there are not many people with His Majesty's waist card. Now there are only four people in the palace who have that kind of royal waist card, that is, Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai, Gu Kangnian and him Zhao Chong. It is impossible for Li Chengqian and Fang Er Gongzi to send assassins, so the only ones left are him, Zhao and Gu Kangnian. Zhao Chongming knew that he didn't do it himself, but he still couldn't help but be scared to death, because His Majesty would not believe that it was Gu Kangnian who let the assassin in, and Gu Kangnian was the most trusted person by His Majesty.
No one can say anything about the affairs in the palace, and others think that he Zhao Chong is His Majesty's personal guard, and he is also the general of Yu Linwei, but who knows his Zhao Chong's suffering. From the beginning of the robbery and killing of the Heavenly Prison, Zhao Chong knew that he was not a person trusted by His Majesty.
was scared, but Zhao Chong still chose to go back, and when he saw Li Shimin, Zhao Chong told him about the situation he had found out. When that's all said and done. He noticed that Li Shimin's eyes were cold. Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian did not speak, they believed that Li Shimin was not a stupid person, and Zhao Chong would not let the assassin enter and leave the Taiji Palace, because Zhao Chong had no reason to do so, Li Shimin died or Concubine Yang was killed, it would not be good for him at all, on the contrary, there were many disadvantages.
Li Shimin didn't speak, but Zhao Chong knelt on the ground, his forehead almost trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the last general's waist card has never left his body, and the last general will not harm Your Majesty" Zhao Chong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Shimin.
"Jun'er, you take someone to the West Palace, I want to know the truth of the matter!" Li Shimin hates being betrayed the most, and if anyone dares to betray him, it will only be death.
Fang Yiai didn't say anything, and walked out of the Ganlu Hall with his hands, could it be Gu Kangnian? If it weren't for Gu Kangnian and not Zhao Chong, then who would have the ability to let the assassins enter and leave the Taiji Palace freely?
The West Palace soon arrived, Fang Yiai waved his hand, and Yu Linwei behind him surrounded a courtyard, Gu Kangnian lived in this garden, it is said that Gu Kangnian has lived in this courtyard for twenty-five years. There are a few more twenty-five years in his life, but Gu Kangnian has spent one-third of his years here.
The lights were on in the room, and there was no need for Fang Yiai to order, the four Yu Linwei had already kicked open the door with their feet, and the furnishings in the room were very simple, just a few cabinets and a table, and next to the table, a white-haired old man was skeletal and drinking a pot of wine.
"Second son, you're a little late!" Gu Kangnian showed a wry smile on his face, and at this time, Fang Yiai also had no suspicions, it seemed that it was really Gu Kangnian who put the assassin into the palace.
"Gu Kangnian, Fang Mou doesn't understand very much, Your Majesty trusts you so much, why do you want to do such a rebellious thing?" Fang Yiai walked towards Gu Kangnian step by step, although he was asking, he actually wanted Gu Kangnian to lower his vigilance, he was afraid that Gu Kangnian would suddenly commit suicide, so many things would not be asked.
Gu Kangnian has lived for decades, how could he not be able to figure out Fang's bereaved thoughts, he smiled slightly, and put the wine glass on the table, "Second son, don't work in vain, you can't save Gu's life, if you have anything to ask, just ask, how much Gu can answer you depends on God's meaning!" ”
Gu Kangnian raised his head and squinted at the old beam on the roof, "Hey, how many years, old man, I can't go back to the past days." Second son, you must not understand why Gu would help outsiders to harm Your Majesty. Hehe, you listen to Gu Mou say slowly. ”
With Gu Kangnian's narration, Fang Yiai gradually understood some things. In the first year of the emperor's reign, a man named Sima Yanyun entered the Xiaoguo Army, originally he wanted to show his ambitions with his skills, but as soon as he entered the battlefield, he was destroyed by the stray arrows of the Southern Liang people. But he didn't dare to say it to others, so he survived, when people came and went in the palace of the Great Sui Dynasty, who knew that there was an inhumane guard. Sima Yanyun is a person with a heart. He didn't want to be a waste, so he paid close attention to everything around him, and he learned almost anything, and it was because of this carefulness that he noticed a big secret.
Time was in a hurry, the Great Sui was in chaos, Emperor Wen went, Sima Yanyun also returned to Longxi, when Li Tang raised troops, Sima Yanyun fortunately changed his name and entered the Long Xiao army. Sima Yanyun is inhumane. The ability is big. was slowly accepted by Li Yuan as a confidant. Since the second year of Wude, Sima Yanyun has never left Li Yuan, and slowly outsiders have forgotten him.
When everything was narrated, two tears flowed from Gu Kangnian's eyes. He shook his head and laughed miserably, "Second son, Gu also had a name, and I have Sima's blood flowing on my body, so, do you understand?" Go back and tell Your Majesty that it was Gu Kangnian who failed him! ”
Gu Kangnian's eyelids were already slowly softening, and Fang Yiai couldn't help but be a little anxious. "Tell me quickly, what secrets did you hear in the Sui Imperial Palace back then?"
Although Fang Yiai ran over to support Gu Kangnian's body with his right hand, the old man still drooped his head softly, "Secret? Is it "Gu Kangnian's voice still stopped, when his body was lifeless. Fang Yi angrily threw Gu Kangnian to the ground, this old bastard refused to leave anything useful until he died. Gu Kangnian is Sima Yanyun, but what can he do if he knows? What Fang Yiai wants to know most is the secret about the former Sui, which is the reason why Concubine Yang was taken away.
There was too much unwillingness in his heart, but Fang Yiai still let people drag Gu Kangnian's body to the Ganlu Palace, and after returning to the Ganlu Palace, he recounted the things he heard from Gu Kangnian as it was.
Li Shimin got up and came to Gu Kangnian's corpse, looked at Gu Kangnian's blue and black lips, and he sighed helplessly, "Family, hateful family, how long will I endure it?" ”
Li Shimin's voice was not loud, but it was so heavy in the ears of several people, the family gate, maybe this is the biggest problem facing Datang. Fang Yiai can also understand Li Shimin's mood, the family is really terrible, I thought that the Taiji Palace was clean enough, but the family can still reach into it, who would have thought that Gu Kangnian would be a member of the Sima family?
Regarding the secret that Gu Kangnian said, Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai both wanted to know, but Li Shimin didn't mean anything to say it, and looking at Li Shimin's expression, it seemed that he didn't necessarily know much. At this time, Zhao Chong was completely free from suspicion, but he stood in the room, still not daring to come out, looking cautious.
Li Shimin didn't say it, and it was impossible for Fang Yiai to ask after him, because the matter involved the former Sui, it was better to know less. Li Shimin has been thinking about it, and he doesn't know how long he thought about it, before he knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Don't spread the news about the affairs in the palace, as for Concubine Yang, I will leave it to Jun'er, no matter what, I want to see the living Concubine Yang." ”
"Yes, the son-in-law should do his best!" Fang Yiai withdrew from the Manna Palace, and at the same time, Zhao Chong also walked out.
Coming to the outside of the Ganlu Palace, Fang Yiai let out a long sigh, Li Shimin wants to live Concubine Yang, this is too difficult, who dares to guarantee that those people will keep Concubine Yang alive? Zhao Chong knew that Fang Yiai was under a lot of pressure, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second son, Zhao wants to thank you this time." If there's anything you can help with, please don't hesitate to let us know. ”
"Hehe, Lao Zhao, you don't have to thank me, let's be careful in the future, Yu Linwei's defense is still too loose, this time there is Gu Kangnian blocking for you, it will be difficult to have an accident next time!"
Fang Yiai didn't want Zhao Chong to have an accident, but who could say clearly when he was doing things in the palace. Although the assassin this time was not put in by Zhao Chong, but Yu Linwei's defense was lax, and Zhao Chong must be responsible.
"Hey, what the second son said is that Zhao will have to think about Yu Linwei in the future, damn it, Zhao was almost scared to death this time, once is enough, come again, Zhao really can't afford it!"
There are some truths, Zhao Chong understands them more thoroughly than Fang Yiai, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to avoid it.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin waved his hand for Li Chengqian to stand closer, and when he was close enough, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "Ming'er, you must be wondering why I didn't tell you that secret, right?" ”
"Yes, the child has never figured out, what kind of secret can make the father so afraid?" Li Chengqian really wanted to know, and he believed that Li Shimin would definitely tell him.
Li Shimin walked slowly, as if recalling something. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, it was an era of heroes, but also an era of devastation, and war often meant death. But there is a choice, if you don't kill others, others will kill you.
