Chapter 384: Looking from the Dragon's Field
Cooperate with Dali Temple Qingsun to investigate the relationship between the prince and the Qizhou rebellion case, this matter ......
Difficult!
But as the person most familiar with the case in Qizhou, Xie Yi had no reason and no chance to refuse, although he didn't want to get involved in the chaos in front of him.
However, His Majesty Li Er seems to have completely failed to consider his special status, or did not include Li Zhi, the king of Jin, in his consideration at all?
However, since it is a good thing to participate in the investigation, you can grasp the progress of the case as soon as possible, and make a lot of judgments and responses according to the situation. Even......
Xie Yi wondered if he could take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the investigation to do something to promote the development of the situation?
It's hard to say whether it's necessary to do this, but the risk is certain, adding fuel to the flames in the prince's infighting, if this is discovered by His Majesty Li Er, he will definitely die and have no place to be buried. Although it is true that it is necessary to help Li Zhi plan, the risk must be cared about, and the life of the family is the most important at any time.
When he came to Dali Temple, Xie Yi not only met Sun Attached, but also met Su Gan Chengji here. The head of the East Palace guard, the first confidant of the crown prince Li Chengqian, has been invited into Dali Temple, but the treatment is quite polite.
In an interrogation room, he sat on a chair, nothing special except that his hands and feet were tied, and he was not subjected to any ill-treatment or torture.
Sun Attaching saw Xie Yi coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, no matter who had a higher official position between the two, Sun Attaching was not high enough to snub Xie Yi, and the title of Duke of Huaiyang County was already admirable.
"Thank you, Bachelor!" To this day, Xie Yi's official position in the court is still that of a scholar of Hongwen Pavilion, and he was only ordered to come to assist Sun Attached.
"Sun Siqing!"
Sun Xuan said in a deep voice: "You have read the relevant case files, right?" β
"I've seen it, it's very detailed!"
"That's good, that's the way it is. Presumably, Master Xie already knows it, and he still needs Mr. Xie's help about the situation in Qizhou. Sun was very polite.
"You're welcome, Xie Yi should do his best."
"Thank you, please!"
Xie Yi followed Sun Jian into the interrogation and cell area of Dali Temple, where he had been locked up for a few years, even though it had only been a few years. But it's like a world away.
Walking into the secret room of interrogation and seeing Su Gan Chengji, Xie Yi was slightly surprised. The number one henchman of the East Palace has been controlled? I vaguely remember that in the original history, Li Chengqian's rebellion was revealed by Su Gan Chengji, so the current rhythm ......
Historical trajectories are highly overlapping? Maybe!
The moment he saw Xie Yi, he was also a little surprised, and he had a little bad premonition in his heart. I don't know why he has the confidence to deal with Sun Attached, but Xie Yi's appearance made him inexplicably a little nervous, and he couldn't help but show a trace of uneasiness.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Sun Attached, and this Dali temple secretary understood it. Apparently grasped something.
"Su Gan Chengji, Yin Hongzhi had a close relationship with you when he was in Chang'an, and there have been constant exchanges between the Qi Palace's Mansion and the East Palace in the past two years, what do you have to say about this?" Sun went through the standard process of interrogation.
Su Gan Chengji was very cooperative, very calm, and even replied with a smile: "What's so strange about this? I've just drunk a few times with Yin Hongzhi, everyone is in the same hall, is there any problem with socializing during the break?
As for the interaction between the East Palace and the Qi Palace...... At that time, Li You did not rebel. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the eldest brother, interacts with his brothers. Brother and brother, is there anything wrong with this? β
He was very calm, but his composure at this time was not necessarily a good thing, especially in a rhetorical tone. You must know that Sun Attaching only asked him what he thought, and the question itself did not characterize the matter. There was no sense that he had problems with Yin Hongzhi, Qi Wangfu and Donggong, but his answer was slightly overreacting.
Xie Yi saw it in his eyes, and secretly shook his head, even if a veteran like Sun Atta, who has been immersed in Dali Temple for many years, doesn't understand psychology. You can also see the anomalies in it.
Whether there is really a problem, or the mentality is wrong, all in all, the state of Su Gan Chengji is very bad, at least the start is not good.
Sun Xuan didn't hesitate for a moment, and continued to ask: "Of course, there is no problem if it's just like this, but Yin Hongzhi said that he had a secret plot with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince through you to discuss the joint rebellion between Qizhou and Chang'an, and the matter of internal and external cooperation?" Can it be true? β
"Slander, speechless!" Yin Hongzhi's reaction was a little bigger, and he said in a deep voice: "The Qi Palace's Mansion and the East Palace are just ordinary courtesy exchanges, and my dealings with Yin Hongzhi are only about Fengyue, and there has never been anything rebellious." β
"Yin Hongzhi and Li You also claimed that Huayin's rebellion was done by the East Palace......"
"Slander, sheer slander." Su Gan Chengji said loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with the East Palace, Yin Hongzhi's move is slander, can't he say anything, right?" The imperial court and Dali Temple can't listen to one side of the story, and let others slander the East Palace and His Royal Highness the Prince, right?
I've said what I should say, and other things please ask Dali Temple to investigate carefully, find out substantive evidence, find out the real culprit, and return the innocence of the East Palace. β
After Su Gan Chengji put down this sentence, he no longer cooperated, or he thought that there was no need to cooperate.
His words are correct, now these words are Yin Hongzhi's side of the word, maybe it is indeed the truth, but there is no substantial evidence, what can it be?
But where to look for this substantial evidence?
Sun Atta is obviously a little difficult, although Li You and Yin Hongzhi are conclusive, they have not come up with evidence, such as letters exchanged between the two sides. The reason given is that trust is burned after reading, so there will definitely be no retention.
Although it is usually handled in this way, it does not rule out the possibility of false words, so it is not convincing. It's hard to find evidence in this area, so it's almost impossible.
As for the progress of the Huayin attack and murder case, Dali Temple and the local government have made every effort to investigate, and it is said that Taiji Palace has also sent relevant secret agents. But so far, there seems to be little progress for the time being, so a big problem has arisen.
How is this good?
When Sun was in a dilemma, Xie Yi said: "Actually, it's not impossible, maybe we can find a breakthrough in Li You and Yin Hongzhi." β
"Master Xie, I don't know what to say?" Sun Jiayi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Xie Yi said: "Although they swear that they have a connection with the East Palace. And if it is such a major event as rebellion, there must be many discussions and conspiracy. Li You and Yin Hongzhi should both know a lot, and now interrogate the two of them separately, and then check the details, maybe they can find something. β
"What Master Xie said is reasonable, but ...... Until then, the two had been held together. It is entirely possible to collude with each other, but is it too late to separate the interrogation? Sun was hesitant about this.
Xie Yi muttered: "Not necessarily, even if it is a confession, but not all the details can be seamless?" Interrogation separately, over and over again, tirelessly, there will always be something to gain. During the period, you can also use some interrogation methods, Sun Siqing should know better than me in this regard. β
Sun added: "What you say is very true, and it is the plan for the future. It's worth a try. β
The method may work, but Xie Yi is not happy at all, is it too late? If this matter is really different, then when the Dali Temple is interrogated, those people will definitely not sit idly by, and maybe there will be more vicious tricks released.
It's hard to say what the outcome will be......
β¦β¦
Since the appearance of the turmoil, the Wei Wangfu has been very calm. It's like being completely out of the way.
But in fact, such a big thing. Li Tai may naturally ignore it? In a way, he was more nervous than anyone else right now, and he was more concerned about the situation in front of him.
If Li You and Yin Hongzhi can pull Li Chengqian down, there is no doubt that he is the biggest beneficiary.
Especially when he learned that Su Gan Chengji was taken to Dali Temple, Li Tai's face showed a smug smile, as if victory was already in sight.
"Your Highness. The East Palace is already in turmoil, this time they are in a catastrophe, you just wait for the good news! Liu Xuan sent a sycophant sentence in a timely manner.
Judging from the current situation, if there is an accident in the East Palace, after the fall of the crown prince Li Chengqian. As the second son of the second son, Li Tai, the king of Wei, unconsciously the most suitable candidate for the prince, has the greatest opportunity.
"Don't worry, now only relying on the words of Li You and Yin Hongzhi, if Su Gan Chengji denies it to death, Dali Temple can't do anything about him. If this matter cannot be confirmed, how can the father be angry, and where is there enough reason to abolish the prince. β
Although Li Tai's heart has blossomed and he is infinitely proud, he is still very restrained and rational on the surface, or this is his hypocritical nature!
Liu Xuan agreed: "Indeed, Su Gan Chengji is a henchman of the East Palace, and he must be desperate to protect the prince, and it may not be easy to get words that are unfavorable to the prince out of his mouth." β
"It's expected, it's not surprising." Li Tai disagreed.
Liu Xuan said: "Your Highness, since the guest in the wing room has the ability to make such a drama in Huayin, there must be a trick to follow-up?" β
Hearing this, Li Tai groaned, and no one in the entire Chang'an knew what was going on with Huayin's attack. Whether it is Sun Attached, Xie Yi, or Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace, they are just guesses.
But Li Tai knew best that at noon on the night of the attack in Huayin, a guest came to the Wei Palace's mansion and informed him of the matter in advance.
Li Tai, the king of Wei at that time, was naturally extremely surprised, but when they knew that the ultimate target of this attack would eventually be aimed at the East Palace, Li Tai immediately treated this person as a guest.
Especially when the exact news of Huayin's attack came, Li Tai was even more convinced. The previous beating of the teacher and the heart-to-heart incident did not shake the position of the East Palace, but this time Li You and Yin Hongzhi returned to Chang'an, and if they were used properly, they would undoubtedly have the greatest lethality.
Li You and Yin Hongzhi are actually dead people, but if they can be used before the two of them die, it is naturally best to maximize their value. The most important thing is that the words of the "dead man" are more credible and more lethal, as long as there is a murderous drama, it will make people preconceived.
In particular, the Wei Wangfu was very aware of the fact that Yin Hongzhi and Su Gan Chengji had a very close relationship, so they knew the effectiveness of this matter even better.
Things have developed exactly as they expected now, and after the attack, many people in Chang'an first suspected the East Palace.
What surprised Li Tai and them even more was the performance of Li You and Yin Hongzhi, who even claimed that this was the murder of the East Palace.
Why did Lee Woo and Yin Hongzhi say that?
Could it be that there is really any unknown correspondence between the East Palace and the Qi Palace? For the first time, the people of Wei Wangfu couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, and even had some illusions.
I don't know why, but such an outcome is exactly what they wanted, so to speak. At this time, Li You and Yin Hongzhi's accusations were far more lethal than a single attack.
But as Liu Xuan said, it is only a one-sided statement now, and when there is no more favorable direct evidence, it is not possible to do anything about the East Palace for the time being.
Liu Xuan pondered for a long time, and then proposed: "Your Highness, let that gentleman release the evidence, his subordinates believe that he must have a trick in his hands."
In addition, are we trying to figure out a way for Su Gan Chengji, and the East Palace is completely monolithic? Is Su Gan Chengji really absolutely loyal to the prince? β
"What do you mean?" Li Tai groaned slightly, obviously interested in this.
Liu Xuan said: "If we want to find a way, we must find the family of Su Gan Chengji, or find a way to make a game...... After all, now the people of Sugan Chengji are in Dali Temple, and they have lost contact with the East Palace. If the matter is serious enough, the East Palace cannot defend it, and at this time, in order to protect himself, the prince's most appropriate strategy is ...... What will be done? β
"You mean abandon the car?" Soon, Li Tai reacted, and at the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That's right, in fact, as long as Donggong pushes everything on the head of Su Gan Chengji, no matter how hard it takes, it can actually get out of the crisis. But the East Palace didn't do this, either His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was naΓ―ve enough to think that those who could clear themselves would clear themselves, or Su Gan Chengji was unwilling to ......"
Liu Xuan said in a deep voice: "This is our opportunity, if we use it properly and divide it, in order to protect ourselves, Su Gan Chengji, who is in Dali Temple, may ...... in order to protect himself."
"Yes, when it comes to your own life, especially the life of your whole family, is loyalty so absolute?" Li Tai sneered and ordered: "You go and think of a way, if this matter can be done, it will be a great achievement, this king...... In the future, we will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. β
"Your Highness!" Liu Xuan's face was full of smiles, and his heart was even more happy, if he overthrew the East Palace and helped King Wei to the position of crown prince, he was tantamount to making a contribution to the dragon.
What does this mean? Look at today's eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Zhijie's status will be known, the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Wangfu and the nine generals of the Xuanwu Sect are all dukes and marquis today, and they are all the family members of the Yamen who are the key to the dynasty, this is the ambition and meaning of their own struggle!
Now it seems that the possibility of this ambition becoming a reality is getting bigger and closer! (To be continued.) )
