Chapter 42: No, No

Chai Shao can't speak, he is the main job in this matter, Tang Jian is a deputy, and there are some things that Chai Shao can't answer. Since the beginning of the Great Sui Dynasty, the emperor's family and other big families have been fighting openly and secretly. This time, Li Chengzong was attacked, talking about ability and strength, and the family should be the first suspect.

It's miserable, there is no evidence for this matter, it's done too cleanly, and the people who spread rumors probably don't know where they have gone, and it's impossible to find it. Second, it is even more difficult to find evidence, after all, in-depth investigation is bloody and bloody, what kind of temper Li Chengzong has, Chai Shao can't say that he knows 100%. But this emperor has always been more or less bloody, and he has a face-saving face.

After thinking about it, the two still went to the palace, and it was okay to be scolded, so they could only endure it.

Chai Shao said: "Your Majesty, the person who did this is thoughtful and powerful, and the minister and Tang Jian have been tracking it for several days, and they have no clue."

Tang Jian spoke in his heart, you said that if you can't find out, you can't find out, if you don't deliberately bring my name, can you die? It's not that I don't want to investigate this matter, it's that you, the chief official, don't want to investigate, and I'm afraid of others.

"What a toothache you say for the New Year! You're not perfunctory, are you?" Li Chengzong is not embarrassed by anyone, but no one can accept this result. If you can't find out a word, won't you check it?

"Your Majesty is incompetent, please forgive your majesty." Kneel! Chai Shao's confession attitude is first-class sincerity. Tang Jian knelt down when he saw it, surrendered and lost half of it, and he could be spared by admitting his guilt!

Chai Shao and Tang Jian knew in their hearts that even if this matter was over, Li Chengzong would not drive them out of the cabinet. The person personally selected by the emperor was kicked out of the cabinet in less than three or five days, isn't this reaching out and slapping his face, no emperor will say to everyone by himself, I have eyes and no beads!

Li Chengzong saw that the two of them knelt down, and he sincerely didn't want to check it anymore, maybe he didn't want to check it anymore. The tooth hurts even more, but if you don't want to investigate, Li Chengzong thinks that these two people have just joined the cabinet and smashed the errand they personally explained, and they can't afford to see that.

Don't you dare to check it out?

What kind of person, such a great ability, these two people are scared like this, and they are on the verge of escaping! Tang Jian said that he may not be able to withstand the power and pressure of some people, but how can Chai Shao be cowardly? Princess Pingyang's identity is not enough, is it not enough for the emperor to support him? This has to be someone, so big.

Li Chengzong asked: "Did you just say that the behind-the-scenes command is extremely powerful, and there is no evidence worth pursuing?"

Chai Shao hurriedly said: "Yes." Chen and Tang Jian investigated one by one within a few days, but they couldn't find where the source was. In addition, the news that His Majesty was framed for ignoring the government and pampering the ministers to seize power appeared on the same day, and since then there have been exchanges between some literati who heard the news. ”

"In the territory of Datang, I don't ask who has the ability to do this, I want to ask you who has the courage to do this? Do you know who will bear the fate of slandering the king?" Li Chengzong asked.

"I don't know." Chai Shao lied, if he knew that he would be answered, he would obviously be in a trap. Li Chengzong asked again, who do you know has the courage to do this, why don't you continue to investigate, how else can you answer?

Li Chengzong was happy, blame Chai Shao, and felt that there was no need for this, and he didn't want to cause himself such a big trouble. Don't blame Chai Shao, I think this person eats inside and out, as the son-in-law of the old Li family, how can he be afraid of things, look forward and backward, and concentrate on not planning for himself and Datang!

"Tang Jian, what do you say? Don't you know who has the guts?" Li Chengzong asked Tang Jian instead.

This Tang Jian has been thinking for a while, but he still doesn't have the courage to say anything. What is said here will definitely be passed out, if it is known that he is in front of the emperor, he will detain such a crime to the family without any basis. In the future, it must be a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the major families. It's good to ask for more blessings, Chai Shao is cowardly, and there is no need for him to be reckless.

"The subordinate is incompetent, and the subordinate is guilty." Tang Jian knelt down and bowed.

Li Chengzong said: "Okay! If you are guilty, you will be punished, you two will not do anything for the time being, and you will go and practice your courage first after thinking about it. One or two don't dare to say anything, do you have a pure heart to tease me?

"The subordinates don't dare, they don't have the heart." Seeing that Li Chengzong's face was full of anger, the two hurriedly explained.

"And said that you don't dare, you think I don't understand, or I still can't understand. According to what you reported, those who have the motive and dare to do so are only the people of the Shandong family and the Guanlongmen valve. They don't want me to sit firmly under my ass, and they do everything they can to make me feel bad. They have indeed achieved their goal, and the prestige I have accumulated through years of hard work is gone. Li Chengzong said depressedly.

Actually, Li Chengzong didn't particularly mind this so-called prestige, and whoever the army listened to would have prestige at all. Some after-dinner gossip, some people say that they can let them talk.

Facts speak louder than words, and there have been several delays in the months since the establishment of the Cabinet. All of them are major events that cannot be decided for a while, such as floods and droughts. The work efficiency of the entire Datang has improved for a while.

It is true that the Tang Dynasty has not been so efficient since Li Yuan was established, and it is dealing with the Turks externally, and it is preparing soldiers and horses to take Tuyuhun. Internally, the government military system was abolished, so that the people who needed to go to war for generations completely put down their swords and saved their lives.

One thing after another, one thing after another, Li Chengzong doesn't say and doesn't need to say it, but they are all real achievements. A few words chasing after the wind and shadows can't hurt Li Chengzong's roots.

"If you don't say it, I just want to ask, who do you think among the families meets the conditions for this crime?" Lee Seung-jong.

"The minister is incompetent, and no evidence has been found. Suspecting out of thin air, the minister really didn't have any certainty. I really don't know what to say, if Your Majesty wants to find out, the minister suggests that you ask Boss Xiao Yu. His old man knows very well about the affairs of the family, and his old man may be able to guess who it is. Chai Shao knew that he was offended, and he couldn't help but say that Li Chengzong already had a prelude to getting angry here.

Li Chengzong said: "You really dare to say it! Don't care if I go or not, if this word reaches the ears of Boss Xiao Yu, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pass this year. ”

Chai Shao said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid."

Xiao Yu alone is easy to deal with, and the danger in the list is much smaller than offending a family person. I took your money to do things for you, but I didn't sell my life to you.

"Don't you be afraid of your wine to ask, ask who has the courage to get over with me, remember to come back and tell me." Li Chengzong said.

Tang Jian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if someone dares to say this, there is nothing to prove it. The minister felt that it was better to restore His Majesty's prestige and govern him in his own way. ”

"You mean, I'm going to find a few people to go to the teahouse and restaurant to say something nice about me?"

"There is more that can be done, it is better to distribute the list text, from Your Majesty Luoyang City, alone to persuade Wang Shichong to start talking, let everyone in the world listen, let them know what kind of person Your Majesty is." Tang Jian's method is that he doesn't want to sit still. Taking the initiative to save prestige is also a broken move.

Li Chengzong said: "It's good, before the Chinese New Year, you personally wrote an article praising my great achievements."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Jian slowed down, and said in his heart that he had finally picked himself out.

Chai Shao said: "Your Majesty, since you have a way to deal with it, do you still want to track it down?"

Li Chengzong said angrily: "Don't you both think you're incompetent?" I just want to check, and I won't use the two of you anymore, hurry up and go as far as you can, and stand down!"

Seeing that the two were gone, Li Chengzong thought about it and felt that some things didn't make sense. It is true that he is the emperor, and it is true that the family is very jealous of the power in the hands of the emperor. But since he ascended the throne, Li Chengzong asked himself if he had done anything excessive to the family in any aspect. The family has the ability, but they have no reason to provoke themselves.

Is it simply a blow to one's own prestige? But why are there only two places in Luoyang and Chang'an, there are rumors. With the ability of the family, it is not impossible to do the ten ways of Datang everywhere. No matter how many people there are in Chang'an and Luoyang, no matter how important they are to Datang, they are still a corner of Datang after all, and the attack surface is too small to have no effect at all.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the family is, it is also on their own territory. Chang'an and Luoyang are their own territory, and the internal and external soldiers and horses are all in their own hands, and it is okay if things are not exposed, once they are exposed, where will they run?

"No, no, no." Li Chengzong said three times in a row, and the more he thought about it, the more it was not the hand of the family.

Zhu Bajie put a cup of hot tea in front of Li Chengzong, and then Li Chengzong asked, "Who was there when you stamped it?"

"Your Majesty, apart from you and me, there are only General Yin Qiu and a few eunuchs and palace maids." Zhu Bajie immediately replied.

"Are these eunuchs and palace maids the same people?"

"No! Each shift is different, but it is a fixed group of people who take care of His Majesty's daily life. ”

Li Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Since the people outside know that it is not me who uses the seal, then someone in the palace must have told what they saw." It seems that you didn't discipline the people below well!"

Zhu Bajie immediately knelt down and said, "The little one is guilty, the little one is guilty."

is still the same sentence, no matter how high the status of others is, Zhu Bajie is not afraid, he is the emperor's person. But the emperor is angry with himself, and he is not afraid of it!

Li Chengzong said: "You find a few absolute henchmen, and take a good look to find out who the palace maids and eunuchs around me often contact with the outside." Also, let them pay more attention to whether there are palace maids, eunuchs and concubines in the harem. ”

Zhu Bajie said: "The little one will do it immediately."

"Remember, you have to look for something you can trust. Once this matter is known, there are spies who dare not move anymore, and once they don't do anything, you won't be able to find any clues if they are looking for death. Li Chengzong said.

Gritting his teeth, he didn't float anymore when he walked, and Zhu Bajie hurriedly went to make arrangements.

When Yin Qiu heard Li Chengzong's instructions, he seemed to remember something.

"Your Majesty, do you still doubt that a few ladies in the harem will harm you?" Yin Qiu asked. It's not that henchmen don't dare to ask this, and it's not that confidants don't say this, they really care about their masters.

"I don't know, but I don't understand what is going on in the palace. It's not impossible if someone, their head is confused for a while, and they do something they shouldn't do!" Li Chengzong said in a deep voice.

Yin Qiu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you really doubt it, the minister thinks that there are only two people in the palace who can do this."

Li Chengzong smiled and said, "Pei Jing, He Niangzi?"

didn't speak, Yin Qiu just nodded silently.

"You're right, I think so. After Pei Jing became the queen, he has changed a little, and it is not impossible for the Pei family to do such a thing behind him. Mrs. He has also been operating in these two places for many years, and I rarely ask about her, but sometimes she will report some news to me. Why, though? What reason do they have to trouble me? Wives and husbands are heavenly! My life is not good, what good are they about. Li Chengzong took a deep breath and didn't understand.

"Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, there have often been ministers who advise you to make a prince early." Yin Qiu said.

"What's the stake with that? Can slandering my incompetence force me to establish a prince? It doesn't make sense!" Li Chengzong shook his head and said.

"That's not what I said! Your Majesty, maybe this is just a medicine. Yin Qiu said.

Li Chengzong looked at him and said, "You mean, the big drama is still to come." This is just the beginning, the reason for forcing me to establish the prince, and there will be a series of things in the future, which are interlocking. ”

Nodding, Yin Qiu stopped talking.

Li Chengzong's face was depressed, it's not that he Li Chengzong didn't want to establish a prince, the eldest of these sons couldn't even fight soy sauce! How can it be established, if it is found that it is not possible, is it so easy to change the prince? If it were so easy, Li Yuan would not be caught between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

What's next? Which one is Pei Jing and Xiao Qianniang?

"Damn it, it's so hard! The foreign enemy has not been destroyed, and I am focused on preparing the military, but I didn't expect someone to set myself on fire in the back. Li Chengzong said.

Yin Qiuxin said, how easy is it to be an emperor.

"Your Majesty, the ladies of the harem have no intention of harming you. However, they are the mothers of several princes, and they should think about their children, and they should not say that they are wrong. Maybe it's too much, Your Majesty should be forgivable!" Yin Qiu couldn't get more and more angry the more he talked, so he could only persuade Li Chengzong along the way.

Li Chengzong said: "Let's find out, Zhu Bajie may not be able to find out anything." If you can't find out, that's the best. If I find out, I won't be able to get by. It is necessary to teach a lesson, and the courage is all over. ”

Let's say that Zhu Bajie is here, he recruited a few little eunuchs, and after a few words of careful instructions, he sent them away. Whether it is the original Jin Palace, or the current palace, Zhu Bajie knows it in his chest. Who can trust him to know, he has confidence, he doesn't have a spy, as long as there is, he will definitely find out which bastard it is. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
