Chapter 502: The Assassination of the Eldest Grandson

Li Xin got Li Xiuning, whether it was because of feelings, or because of the power of the victor, he was upside down at night, so unhappy, the army began to retreat on the third day, and ordered the general Su Dingfang to be the governor of Hedong, leading 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hedong, Cui Xiu was the county guard of Hedong, and the general was in charge of Hedong political affairs, and his own class returned to the court.

Xingshan Temple, also known as Daxingshan Temple, was built in the Jin Dynasty, in the Sui Dynasty is a very famous Buddhist family present, because Gao's health is unwell, the eldest grandson Wujian led the prince Li Chengzong to worship the Buddha, accompanied by the wife of the general Li Jing, Ma Zhou, Duan Qi and others followed.

"Daxingshan Temple magnificent, Emperor Wen period, changed the name of the city to Daxing, because the temple occupies the city of Jingshanfang a square of land, take the name of the city 'Daxing' two words, take the name of the square 'good' word, give the name of Daxingshan Temple so far. Princess, please see, there is also an edict from Emperor Wen himself. In front of the mountain gate, the Red Whisk Girl was well-informed, standing beside Li Chengzong, while introducing the history of Daxingshan Temple to the eldest grandson Wujian.

"What Sister Zhang said is very true." The eldest grandson Wujian had a graceful face, she glanced around, and sighed: "However, I waited for the incense, but the entire temple was martial law, so that the people could not incense, this is all my fault, if it is not important in the future, such a thing should not be done." ”

"The princess is a noble body, although the land in this pass is the peace of the country and the people, but you must also be careful of the small people, if there is any mistake, how to get it!" Zhang Chuchen said with a smile.

"Amitabha, the poor monk Zhishan has seen the princess and His Royal Highness the prince."

Outside the temple, the abbot of Daxingshan Temple, Zhishan, has long led the monks of the temple to welcome the eldest grandson Wuji, this woman who is about to wait for the queen's throne in the future, he knows that if he can win the favor of the future queen at this time, the incense of the temple will definitely flourish in the future.

Guanzhong up and down, did not know that Li Xin did not like Taoism, and once personally went to the Shaolin Temple. Therefore, even the incense with Buddhism is much more vigorous than before. That's where the upward effect comes in.

"Master Zhishan is polite." The eldest grandson Wujian had a gentle expression, and did not appear to be high because she was a princess, she took Li Chengzong by the hand and nodded to Master Zhishan.

"Niangniang, the poor monk and others have already prepared, just waiting for Niangniang to come." The great monk Zhishan said very respectfully.

"Thank you, masters." The eldest grandson nodded and led everyone up the steps slowly, although the red whisk girl was the wife of the general, she was also very interesting. and Duan Qi were half a step behind.

Li Chengzong is like a little adult, holding the jade hand of the eldest grandson and jumping around, the guy who inherited Li Xin's genes is really extraordinary, and he has been going to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and he is not necessarily tired, which makes the Zhishan monk amazed.

"Niangniang, there is the Daxiong Treasure Hall in front, and the poor monk has ordered someone to clean it up for Niangniang to pray for." Monk Zhishan said cleanly: "Niangniang." His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, please. ”

"Mother, please." Duan Qi glanced around and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates have already ordered someone to check the entire temple." There is nothing out of the ordinary. Niangniang can go in with confidence. ”

"Sister Zhang, you and I will go in together!" The eldest grandson knows that he wants to burn incense and pray for blessings, and he must pay attention to safety, but she is kind. said to Zhang Chuchen: "The general and the prime minister are also teachers and friends, and they are like brothers. Pray today, you and I can go together. ”

"That's good." After Zhang Chuchen heard this, his heart moved, he nodded, and was about to walk in and follow the eldest grandson Wujian to walk in, when his face suddenly changed, and he violently threw the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Chengzong to the ground.

"There are assassins."

"Poof!" There was a soft sound, but I saw that where the eldest grandson was standing, a small crossbow arrow was inserted into the floor tiles and disappeared into it.

"Escort." As soon as Zhang Chuchen's figure moved, his right foot raised, and he saw the candle on the confession fly out, and flew straight towards the top of Rulai's head, and saw Zhang Chuchen's body in a strong shape, and he got on the Buddha statue in a few steps, and glanced around, but saw a black figure flashing through the back door.

"Duan Qi, go to the apse, chase after you."

"Yes."

Duan Qi was already pale with fright, and as for the other monks of the Great Xingshan Temple, they knelt on the ground one after another, their bodies trembled, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and those royal forest soldiers guarded the vital parts one after another.

"Princess, are you alright?" Zhang Chuchen jumped down at this time, and glanced at the eldest grandson Wujian with some anxiety, seeing that the clothes on her body looked a little embarrassed, and the others were nothing, Li Chengzong's eyes were open, obviously he was young and he didn't know what dangerous scene had just happened.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't panic. The eldest grandson Wujian hugged Li Chengzong tightly in his arms, comforted Zhang Chuchen and said: "Thank you Sister Zhang for saving me, otherwise, Chengzong may be hurt at this moment." ”

"Princess, this is not a place to stay for a long time, it's better to leave quickly." Zhang Chuchen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged. If he hadn't come today, God knows what would have happened, although Li Xin had a lot of women, but his favorite was the eldest grandson Wuji, if something happened to the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that the entire Chang'an City would be in Li Xin's anger.

The eldest grandson Wujian also knew that it was almost impossible to continue to incense at this time, if such a thing happened, the entire Chang'an City would probably have to be under martial law, and he didn't know how many heads would fall off, and the eldest grandson Wujian knew that he had no way to stop it.

"Mother, the assassin is dead." In front of the mountain gate, Duan Qi's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice.

"Let's try to be as little involved as possible!" In Luan's drive, the eldest grandson Wujian said softly: "At this moment, you can hand it over to Jinyiwei to investigate, and let Ji Gang personally arrest it." If you can assassinate me today, you can assassinate the prime minister tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Duan Qi clenched his fists and whispered. He knew that he was derelict in his duty this time, as a person in charge of the safety of Chang'an, under his nose, the princess was almost assassinated, such a thing happened, the government and the opposition will be shaken, it is just as the eldest grandson Wujian said, dare to assassinate the princess today, and it is possible to assassinate the prime minister tomorrow. Although he handed over the matter to Jin Yiwei, Duan Qi felt very aggrieved, but he was helpless.

"Don't be embarrassed to build a temple." The eldest grandson Wujian said again: "After some investigation, forget it." They are innocent, in Chang'an, they have not yet dared to assassinate the palace, don't make people panic because of this matter, after the prime minister returns, the palace will tell him in person. ”

"Yes. Empress. Duan Qi's head lowered.

The news of the assassination of the eldest grandson Wujian soon spread throughout Chang'an City, Chang'an was shaken, one was the princess, and more importantly, the other was Wang Shizi, the princess could stand again if she died, but Wang Shizi died, and the situation behind it suddenly became complicated. Now Li Xin's sons are Li Chengzong, Li Chengji, Li Chengtong, and Li Chenghuan, who were born to the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhiwan, Liu Liangdi, and Wei Fuer, respectively, and as for the other Li Chengqian, who was born to Yu Wenrong, he is far away in the Western Regions, and it will not be related to the situation between Korea and China at all. Except for Li Chengzong, the other sons are likely to become the new princes.

This made some of the cases confusing, in the Wude Palace, Pei Shiju, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou and even Wei Yuancheng and others gathered together, all of them were not good-looking, Li Xin attacked Li Yuan and handed over state affairs to Wude Hall for disposal, but I didn't expect such a sensational thing to happen in Chang'an City, Princess Tang and Tang Wang Shizi were assassinated, which shows the incompetence of several Wude Hall scholars, even Pei Shiju's old face does not have any brilliance.

"This kind of crossbow arrow is not something that ordinary people can get, it comes from the imperial court, however, you should also know that the bow and crossbow of this imperial court is not only available to us, but also in Luoyang, and even all over the country, and the inheritance is made by the workshop during the period of Emperor Wu." What was placed in front of everyone was the crossbow arrow, and there was no difference between the crossbow arrow and the normal standard crossbow arrow in Guanzhong, but the standard crossbow arrow in Guanzhong was made by the workshop left by the former Sui. The world is so big, and the other warlords are the same. So there is nothing special about such a crossbow bolt. This makes it more difficult to detect.

"If it is aimed at the princess, then this matter is so-called by outsiders, if it is aimed at the prince of the king?" Ma Zhou glanced at everyone, his voice lowered, and everyone nodded, if this matter was aimed at Wang Shizi, then it was possible that an insider did it.

"Who would do it? Master Ma won't think it's the official's doing! Pei Shiju said with a smile: "Among the king's side concubines, the only one who can have this strength is the old man, but the old man only has his granddaughter!" ”

"The boss laughed, the lower official didn't mean the boss. The old man didn't bother to do such a thing. Ma Zhou said with a smile: "The boss is the pillar of the country, the prime minister trusts him very much, according to the boss's strategy, if he really wants to replace Wang Shizi, he will not take such a measure." Chu Suiliang and the others also nodded, Pei Shiju is cunning and cunning, he has this thought, but it will definitely not be now, even in the future, he will not use this way.

"The king is about to return to Beijing, this matter must be found out before the king comes back, go door to door to search for the old man, no trace can be let go, Jinyiwei immediately started, today can assassinate the princess and Wang Shizi, then one day can assassinate the prime minister." Pei Shiju snorted coldly and said: "Every year, the prime minister invests so much money on Jinyiwei, didn't Ji Gang say that he knows the horns in the entire Chang'an City?" Why can't it be done at this time? ”

"Although Jinyiwei is powerful, it may be difficult to find out in a short period of time! Look at these people, even the princess's route of action knows, if you want to ambush in Xingshan Temple, temporary arrangements are definitely unlikely, according to the situation at the scene, on the top of the Buddha statue, there are steamed buns, indicating that the other party has been ambushed in that place for a day is longer. Chu Suiliang said in a low voice: "Obviously, the person who revealed the news must be someone from the princess's side." ”

"If we get rid of the people inside us, then the people outside, Xiao Miao, Wang Shichong, and Li Yuan are all possible." Pei Shiju glanced at everyone, and finally said: "It is also possible that there is another group of people." ”

"Who?" Wei Yuancheng couldn't help but ask.

"Descendants of Emperor Wu." Pei Shiju suddenly said a sentence and sneered: "The old man has recently known that the dissatisfaction of the royal family with the prime minister has reached its peak. (To be continued......)
