Chapter 66: A Subtle Twist

In the early morning, the sun slowly rose from the east, shyly emitting a faint yellow light, which was so faint that it was so imperceptible, giving people a soft, warm and comfortable feeling. It didn't take long for the sun to begin to unleash itself, tentatively deepening its brilliance, yellow, deep yellow, and finally boldly turning golden and spreading over the whole earth.

The magnificent Taiji Palace, with red walls and yellow tiles, is even more brilliant and shining under the sunlight.

Li Yuan, who had just woken up, washed and dressed under the service of the eunuch.

"I slept so well last night! It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. Every day I broke my heart for their two brothers. Now that they're finally back together, I can sleep a little more peacefully. Li Yuan said with emotion.

The Nighthawk Commander suddenly came out from behind the pillar and reported to Li Yuanyu: "Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness King Qin returned to the mansion last night, the entire Qin Palace's mansion was on alert. King Qin's personal guards, the Xuanjia Army, were all wearing heavy armor and protected the Qin Palace. The minister was moved and surprised, and through the inside line of King Qin's mansion this morning, he learned that King Qin and his eldest grandson Wuji were poisoned after drinking and feasting last night. ”

The news exploded above Li Yuan's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he asked, "Poisoning?" What's going on today? Are the people all right? ”

The Nighthawk Commander replied, "According to the insider, His Royal Highness King Qin is fine now, and soon after taking the antidote, he woke up and returned to normal. ”

Li Yuan asked again: "What kind of poison is among the people?" Find out who poisoned it? Is it the crown prince? ”

The Nighthawk Commander replied, "Strange to say, the poison in King Qin and Eldest Sun Wuji is not the same. The poison in King Qin does not seem to want to take his life, and the poison in the eldest grandson Wuji seems to want to put him to death. However, at the banquet in the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji and King Qin changed their meals. As to who did it, it is not clear now. ”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and Li Yuan said: "You mean, there are people in the Tai** who want to put the people of the world to death." Who is it? If I find out, I will break him into pieces. ”

"Yes." The Nighthawk saluted and disappeared behind the pillar.

After Li Yuan was dressed neatly, he rubbed his faintly aching head with both hands, and ordered to the left and right Qianniuwei: "Drive the Qin Palace." ”

Soon, Emperor Li Yuan came to the palace of the king of Qin and came to the bedroom of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

When Li Shimin saw Emperor Li Yuan, he cried bitterly: "Father, the crown prince should not be a son of man, a brother, he wants to poison his son?" ”

Emperor Li Yuan comforted: "With my understanding of the crown prince, he will not do this, this must be done by the villain around him, rest assured, my father will definitely find out and give you justice." ”

Li Shimin wept bitterly and said: "My father still believes in him? Doubts will clear up when the facts are known? How dare his men poison me without his consent? Give me justice? Your good prince will definitely put the blame entirely on the people below. Can killing a few of his subordinates hide the fact that he is going to poison me? If Wuji hadn't changed meals with me, my father would have seen the corpse of his son. Father, you can't trust him anymore. ”

Li Yuan sighed and said: "The prince will not do this, he has made a poisonous oath and left a Danshu iron coupon." ”

Li Shimin replied: "Poisonous oath? Danshu iron coupon? Do you still dare to believe it today? Now, he dares to poison me, and once he is in that position, is there anything he will not dare to do again? Will Erchen have another way to live? ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin asked people to take out the Danshu iron coupon, handed it to Li Yuan with both hands and cried: "After this poisoning incident, Erchen can no longer believe the prince, and he can't believe it anymore." Father, Danshu Iron Coupon, you can take it back. The prince moved his heart to kill me, and the Danshu iron coupon was useless, and it was useless again. ”

Emperor Li Yuan took the not heavy Danshu iron coupon, his mood was heavy, and his face was gloomy. He stood up silently, and left the bedroom of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, without saying a word, and left the palace of the king of Qin.

In the East Palace of the Prince, the Prince Jiancheng, the Prince Taifu Wang Jue, and the Prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng knew about the poisoning of the King of Qin, Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson Wuji after the banquet in the East Palace.

The crown prince was stunned at that time, and muttered to himself: "Poisoned? How can it be poisoned? Who poisoned it? Who wants to frame Lone? ”

The crown prince Wang Qi and the prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng stood at the bottom of the prince's construction. Hearing the prince Jiancheng ask, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng suddenly took a step forward before he could speak. The crown prince and the crown prince Wang Qi grabbed Wei Zheng and stood up and said, "Your Highness, the eunuch who tried the food for King Qin and the eldest grandson Wuji hanged himself that night. ”

"Is there something wrong with that eunuch? Check, Lone wants to know who is behind the scenes? The crown prince said angrily.

"Yes." The crown prince and the prince Wang Qi bowed and responded.

Soon, Wang De, the chief eunuch, walked into the prince's east palace and said to the prince: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has called you to the Taiji Palace. ”

The crown prince Jiancheng accompanied Wang De to go.

There are only two people left in the Prince's East Palace, Wang Qi and Wei Zheng.

Wang Qi said to Wei Zheng: "Xuancheng (Wei Zheng's character), you did it, you can't say it." Say it, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qin will kill you. ”

Wei Zheng said sadly and angrily: "I hate, I hate not to poison King Qin." Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the legacy will be endless. ”

Wang Qi asked puzzledly, "Why do you have to poison King Qin?" He has reconciled with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Wei Zheng cried bitterly: "The crown prince and the king of Qin are both political figures, and they both represent all kinds of forces. With the mediation of His Majesty, they have the intention to seek peace. The forces that support them will not allow it. After a short period of peace, there is an even more fierce fighting. Now taking advantage of King Qin's unpreparedness, if he can be poisoned, His Highness will definitely have one less enemy in the future. It's not a pity for Wei Zheng to die, but God won't help me. Get rid of King Qin, and the crown prince can sit back and relax. ”

Wang Qi asked, "Are you so sure that the crown prince and the king of Qin will fall out again?" ”

Wei Zheng replied: "My Lord Wang, politics is the least affectionate, especially the path of the emperor. At the banquet that night, I was not the only one who wanted to poison King Qin. The meal I poisoned King Qin was eaten by the eldest grandson Wuji. Then how could King Qin be poisoned? There are still people who are looking forward to the prince and King Qin falling out, not only me, Wei Zheng. That's the reality. It is impossible for the two of them to reconcile, absolutely impossible. It's just a pity that that person was not able to poison King Qin? Who is it? Will it be someone from my East Palace? ”

After listening to Wei Zheng's analysis, Wang Qi let out a long sigh and said, "The sky does not destroy the King of Qin, what can I do if I do it?" What can I do? ”

In Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Yuan stared coldly at the crown prince Jiancheng and said, "Shimin was poisoned, did you order it?" ”

The crown prince hurriedly defended: "Father, you have to believe your son." How could Erchen do such a thing that violates filial piety. The father's hard work, the son of the emperor understood, and made a poisonous oath. How could Erchen do such an angry thing? The eunuch who tested the poison in the Erchen Palace hanged himself that night, this is obviously someone who wants to frame the Erchen? ”

Li Yuan said: "For you, I still believe it. The eunuch who tested the poison is dead, and the mastermind behind it must be found. Shimin has returned the Danshu Iron Coupon and no longer believes in you, so you can do it yourself. ”
