Chapter 380: King Wei is assassinated
Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also sighed: "My Tang Dynasty court is full of talents, if there is one person who can make me jealous, it is Cen Wenwen." I am impressed by the fact that Cen text's speculation on people's hearts, the grandeur of the layout, and the accuracy of the fall. After so many years, I know that Cen Wenwen has been playing a big game of chess, and the prince Chengqian and Li Tai, the king of Wei, may be a chess piece in his chess game, and I don't know how big his game is, nor what he is planning. I just looked at him silently, I didn't dare to be careless for a moment, I silently played my own chess, silently cultivated Li Zhi, the king of Jin, for more than 20 years, I believe that Cen Wenwen's big game of chess will soon come to an end, I am really looking forward to it, what is he Cen Wenwen planning for more than 20 years, what is his purpose. Supporting Li Tai, the king of Wei, and pushing the crown prince Chengqian down from the position of prince, this is definitely not his ultimate goal, this is just one of his steps, I really want to see what he wants to do after Cen Wen supports Li Tai, the king of Wei, and pushes the prince Chengqian. ”
Fang Xuanling's cloudy eyes also revealed a dazzling light. Fang Xuanling also wanted to see Cen Wenwen, the most intelligent and intelligent person in the Tang Dynasty, what he was planning and plotting for more than 20 years.
In Chang'an, King Wei's Mansion, a team of black-clothed people suddenly sneaked into the bedroom of King Li Tai of Wei and slashed at the bed of King Li Tai of Wei, which aroused the vigilance of the guards of King Wei's mansion, and the guards entered King Wei's bedroom and found blood flowing down from King Wei's bed. So, while checking how the condition of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was on the bed; While shouting "There are assassins, catch assassins". Opening the bed, the guards of Li Tai, the king of Wei, breathed a sigh of relief, and found that it was not the king of Wei lying on the bed, but the close attendant of the king of Wei, who had been hacked to death with a knife.
It didn't take long for the guards of the Wei Palace's palace to catch a man in black and find the King of Wei who had gotten up at night to go to the toilet. The squire who was hacked to death. After King Wei went out, he waited in King Wei's bedroom, but found that there was a man in black, and he panicked for a moment and hid on King Wei's bed. And the man in black who was caught, after the guards took off his mask, everyone found out that it was Li He, the guard of the crown prince Chengqian.
The assassination of King Wei quickly spread to the Tang Palace. When the Tang Emperor Li Shimin learned what had happened, he was furious and ordered the arrest of the crown prince Chengqian.
Datang. In the Governor's Mansion of Qizhou, Li You, the king of Qi, held a note and scolded angrily: "Waste, all waste." A group of people go to kill one person. When you enter the bedroom, you can still kill the wrong person, what a bunch of rubbish. However, Li He was caught by them according to the plan, as long as he insisted that he was sent by the crown prince Chengqian, I don't believe that the emperor and the king of Wei would not kill the prince? But it's a pity. This time, he didn't even kill Li Tai, the king of Wei. I'm going to kill the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and all the sons close to him, and I'm going to kill them all. ”
Li You, King of Qi, the fifth son of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Li You was not liked by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, the Emperor Taishang Li Yuan and the entire Longyou Li royal family since he was a child. Because Li You's mother's family and the Longyou Li royal family are feuding. Li You's mother is Concubine Yin. The daughter of the former Sui hussar general and the underworld master left behind in Chang'an.
Emperor Taishang Li Yuan Jinyang took action, and the Yin Shishi stayed behind for Chang'an and was loyal to the former Emperor Yang of Sui. Yin Shishi not only wantonly killed the children of the Longyou Li clan who were stranded in Chang'an City, but also killed Li Zhiyun, the fifth son of Emperor Li Yuan. Let the soldiers excavate the tombstones of the ancestors of the Li royal family in Longyou.
After Li Shimin captured Chang'an, Emperor Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to kill Yin Shishi and his family, thinking that he would vent his anger. The entire family of the Yin Shishi was killed. Only Concubine Yin, the daughter of Yin Shishi, was favored by Li Shimin and included in the mansion as a concubine.
Li You's mother, Concubine Yin, was not liked by Li Shimin from the beginning. Li You is even more so, he has been repeatedly bullied by the children of the Tang royal family, so Li You has hated Li Shimin and the entire Li royal family in Longyou since he was a child, and he can't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible.
In Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince Chengqian, who knew nothing, was arrested in the Taiji Palace of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. When Li Shimin saw the crown prince Chengqian, he asked coldly, "Where is your guard Li He?" ”
Prince Chengqian replied: "Li He was given to me by Li You, the king of Qi, although Li He is strong in martial arts, but I don't like it, so I let him stay in the East Palace, and I don't usually care about him." I don't know why my father suddenly asked about Li He? ”
Emperor Li Shimin said angrily: "You ask me why? Tonight, the King of Wei was assassinated and one of the assassins was caught, Li He? Do you dare to say you don't know? You say, did you send someone to assassinate Li Tai, the king of Wei? ”
The crown prince said aggrievedly: "Father, this son really doesn't know. Erchen usually doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how dare he send someone to kill the King of Wei? ”
Emperor Li Shimin looked at the crown prince Chengqian, and felt that the prince did not seem to be lying, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he ordered Dai Guan, the secretary of Dali Temple, to deal with the case.
Dai Zhou is now famous in Chang'an. In just three months, a large number of backlog case files in Dali Temple were judged, involving 17,000 people, and no one shouted injustice, and his reputation was shocked for a while, and he became a judge who was respected by the government and the opposition as a god and eliminated evil. And the cracking of the case of Du Chuke, the squire of the Ministry of Works, is his credit, the saint is rich, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and is deeply trusted by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
Two days later, Dai Zhou was in the Taiji Palace and reported the progress of the case to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Li He's accomplice who has been captured and assassinated the King of Wei in Chang'an City. According to their confession, they were ordered by Li You, the king of Qi, to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and then left Li He to frame the crown prince; The minister ordered his subordinates to pretend to be the messenger of Li You, the king of Qi, and secretly meet with Li He, who had already admitted that he was sent by the king of Qi to bite the crown prince, provoke civil strife in the imperial capital, and instigate His Majesty's father and son, the crown prince, and the brothers of the king of Wei to kill each other. The minister is here, Li He's reply to the King of Qi and the confessions of Li He's accomplices can be sure that the assassination of His Royal Highness the King of Wei was committed by Li You, the King of Qi, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wronged. ”
After listening to the report, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, said angrily: "This rebel! Li You, this rebel! Then he ordered Li Ji to lead the left and right Wuwei armies to attack Qizhou and capture Li You, the king of Qi.
After Emperor Li Shimin's order was issued, Li Ji entered the territory of Qizhou with the left and right Wuwei armies. Li You, the king of Qi, saw that the matter was exposed, so he raised an army to rebel. Half a month later, Li Ji led the army into the Qizhou Governor's Mansion, and Li You was escorted back to Beijing. (To be continued.) )
