Chapter 400: A Thorny Scale

Li Zhi was silent for a long time, probably because he had been troubled by this question.

Isn't it big brother?

He was not asking if Li Chengqian had indeed rebelled, but whether the assassin who came to kill him was sent by his eldest brother Li Chengqian.

Li Zhi, who attaches great importance to sibling affection, seems to be very concerned about this matter, and he seems to have some difficulty accepting the fact of fratricide, and does not believe that the eldest brother of a mother's sibling will murder him.

But the reality is in front of him, since Li Chengqian dares to do something to his father and emperor, and dares to kill the king and kill his father, what else should he not dare? Maybe sibling affection is worthless in the face of the throne and power.

Xie Yi fully understands this, it is not surprising that Li Zhi has such doubts, benevolence is the biggest characteristic of Li Zhi that distinguishes him from other princes, and it will also be the biggest advantage.

"It's more likely, but I'm afraid it's too early to tell." Xie Yi's words were also targeted, everyone thought that it was the East Palace that Hua Yin assassinated Li You, but what was the result? Facts have proved that there is someone else, so can you still firmly believe that it was Li Chengqian who assassinated Li Zhi today?

Hearing this, Li Zhi's expression moved slightly, and he obviously seemed to have thought of something.

"Your Highness, don't think too much about it now, what kind of person assassinated His Highness, the ministers will investigate in detail, and this matter cannot be arbitrary." Xie Yi said: "Since His Royal Highness is safe and sound, you might as well go to the palace now to see Your Majesty and Princess Jinyang, as the elder brother of the son of man, this is as it should be." In addition, His Majesty already knows the news of His Highness's assassination, and he can reassure His Majesty by going to the palace for a trip. ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Li Zhi understood these truths, so he temporarily let go of the knot.

Xie Yi advised: "Your Highness, this time is different from the past, enter the palace today...... Even from now on, Your Highness needs to be cautious in what you say and do, do you understand? ”

Li Zhi's brows moved. Obviously, he had grasped Xie Yi's hint, and Wang Yan on the side also had a bright eye, obviously understanding.

The time is almost up, and Li Zhi is no longer a child, there is no need to hide these things anymore, and the necessary hints will remind them. Some mental preparation is necessary.

After all, the next few years will be the most dangerous and the most critical time, and everyone needs to do their best.

……

Li Zhi entered the palace, Xie Yi went home, today is really too tired for him, he needs to sleep well. What will happen to you in the future, let's talk about it then!

When the whole Chang'an was still in the wind and many people couldn't sleep. Xie Yi lay on the couch and fell asleep.

It wasn't until a long time later that I opened my eyes when I realized that something was touching my face, and I found that my two sons were lying on my stomach, as if they were about to scribble on my father's face.

After witnessing a day of bloody cruelty, there was nothing more healing than the child's innocent smiling face, and the Xie family instantly fell asleep, with the same relieved smile on their faces.

Outside, it's sunset, or the sun is setting. Big things are not as important as teasing my son. The two sons happened to be babbling when they were teased by Xie Yi in his arms. Father and son enjoy the family.

Several ladies also returned from the Rim River Villa, and after learning that the rebellion in Chang'an had been put down, they returned. They knew that Xie Yi must be very lonely now, and it was estimated that it would be inconvenient to return to the Rimchuan Villa for the time being, so they all hurried back to accompany him.

"It's good to be back, my wife and children are not around. There is no homely atmosphere at all. Xie Yi smiled: "As for me, I simply take a leave and accompany you at home." ”

said that it was a leave, but in fact it was a request for sin, Xie Yi wrote a secret recital of a request for guilt and presented it to His Majesty Li Er. The reason is naturally that it is still an overkill. As a guilty body, it is naturally inconvenient to continue to be an official in the court, so it is better to suspend it temporarily.

Li Shimin did not give a reply to ask for the guilt, but acquiesced to Xie Yi's vacation behavior, perhaps for the time being, it is more important to deal with the rebellion case, and Xie Yi's idea is not so important.

Therefore, it is rare for the county prince of Huaiyang to be comfortable, and in this late spring and early summer, he stays at home and has fun, accompanied by his wife and concubines.

Seeing Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui looking at their two white and chubby sons with envy, Xie Yi smiled and said, "Don't be envious, as you wish, just give birth to one." ”

Xu Hui is a little younger, maybe not so urgent, but Wu Meiniang has been looking forward to it for a long time, and she is naturally very happy to hear this. After carefully calculating the days, he specially pleaded with several other ladies on a few days, but he begged for the favor of the special room, and he worked even harder at night.

While Mr. Xie was comfortable and happy, he naturally did not forget to do his best to meet the wishes of the beautiful concubine, and a large number of plantings were sown on the already fertile land of Wu Meiniang today. As expected, after October, the fruit should come to fruition.

Sure enough, a month later, Wu Meiniang finally got her wish and got pregnant. What's even more coincidental is that Zheng Liwan has no special extravagance, of course, there are no protective measures, and after a few rounds of affection, she is also pregnant with her second child.

The Xie family is a double happiness every time, such a good thing naturally makes people extra excited, this era pays attention to having more children and more blessings, so naturally it is very good.

Du Xijun was not envious in her eyes, but she had a special identity, and it was very difficult to get pregnant and give birth, especially now that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the Xie family in Chang'an City, she had no choice but to give up! Of course, this also avoids the tragedy of Master Xie guarding his wife and concubine, but he wants to be an ascetic.

……

In this process, Xie Yi's life is naturally happy like a fairy, and it is not that he doesn't ask about things outside the window. Now the atmosphere in Chang'an City is tense, and even if you don't want to, there are countless news pouring into your ears.

The trial and investigation of the case of the two princes' rebellion has entered the procedure, and as expected, it was as His Majesty Li Er said, and it was handed over to Yousi for investigation. Involving the prince of the East Palace, Dali Temple is naturally a little insufficient, Li Shimin issued an edict headed by Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou of Zhongshu Province presided over the trial, Xiao Yu, Sun Fujia as the auxiliary, by a group of important ministers composed of the "Joint Investigation and Trial Committee", responsible for the trial of the Qizhou Rebellion and the East Palace rebellion two major cases.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Wuji, the chief of the Sikong Division, did not participate in it, presumably because the abolished prince Li Chengqian was his nephew, so he had to avoid suspicion.

The important ministers came out, and the progress of the case was naturally very fast, the Qizhou Rebellion had been going on for a long time, and the evidence was conclusive, Yin Hongzhi and Yan Hongxin and others naturally couldn't escape death. People like Yin Hongzhi are not only plotting rebellion, but also framing the "prince", if it weren't for him, Li Chengqian, might not have come to this point.

So up to the emperor and down to the minister, Yin Hongzhi can be said to hate him to the bone, where does he have a chance to survive when the evidence is conclusive?

These rebellious courtiers are naturally easy to deal with, but when it is Li You's turn, it will inevitably be a little tricky...... (To be continued.) )
