talked with Li Ke all the way, the two went back to their homes separately on Zhuque Street, Jieli's affairs were still far away from him, and he could only give Li Shimin a little advice, as for the matter of transferring troops and sending generals, he still couldn't fight with him, all he could do was a word in his words, to help Li Shimin "enrich the country and strengthen the army".
After returning home, before Li Su's ass was hot, Su Mo'er found him and said a piece of news that shocked him, "The bustard in Lichun Courtyard is gone!" ”
Li Su knew that Su Mo'er would not say this to him for no reason, so he stared at Su Mo'er and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Our people saw a veiled woman and four Turks fleeing from Chang'an, that person was very similar to her figure, and then I sent someone into Lichun Courtyard, and now the bustard is gone!" Su Mo'er pondered, "So I suspect that person is a bustard!" ”
Now the people of Chang'an City only know that there are Turks who have escaped, but they don't know that it is Jieli, Su Mo'er's intelligence department has just been established and can only get some superficial information, so they don't know what happened to Zhengzhen?
Su Mo'er is her own person, and Li Su didn't want to hide it from her, so she said: "Tell you the truth, that Turkic person is Jieli, Fang Xuanling now suspects that Chang He, the hidden princess of the year, sneaked into Chang'an and rescued him with secret guards, and now he is investigating this matter!" ”。
Su Mo'er opened her mouth in surprise, all kinds of clues were messing around in her mind, and she suddenly said, "Could it be that bustard is the crown princess?" ”
With a gloomy face, Li Xuan said: "If that masked woman is indeed a bustard, then it is possible!" ”
Speaking of this, the two of them were silent, thinking about a question together, if the bustard is Chang'er, and that Luo Xiaoyi approached Li Su and suddenly disappeared, what was her purpose?
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Thinking of a possibility, Su Mo'er's face suddenly turned pale, "If Fang Xiang finds out about the relationship between Luo Xiaoyi and you, how will you explain it to the emperor at that time?" ”
"yes, how do you explain it?" Li Su's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.
The chaos in Chang'an City lasted for seven days before it ended, and during these seven days, a terrible rumor began to spread among the people - the sixth prince Li Su colluded with the hidden princess Chang to rebel.
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin threw a piece of paper on the ground, "This is clearly Chang He's conspiracy, do you believe that the six princes will kill the king and usurp the throne?" ”
"The minister doesn't believe it either, it's just that the sixth prince has a close relationship with that Luo Xiaoyi, which is what many people see!" Just after Li Shimin ordered the purging of the secret guards, Fang Xuanling caught a secret guard hiding in the hotel on the third day, and after some interrogation, the secret guard said a news that shocked Fang Xuanling, the six princes and Chang He colluded to try to kill the king, and the person who killed the king was Luo Xiaoyi who sneaked into the palace, a woman with a close relationship with the six princes.
And when he hurriedly entered the palace to arrest this Luo Xiaoyi, the steward of Caisi Courtyard told him that Chang Xiaoyi, who was under the pseudonym of Luo Xiaoyi, had disappeared the night before Jieli escaped, which made the case involving the six princes even more confusing.
Li Shimin paced back and forth anxiously, he really didn't like this son very much before, but in the past few months, Li Su's expression made him change his opinion, "If Li Su is a rebellion, wouldn't the prince conspire with Li Su and also participated in the rebellion, this geisha was sent to the palace by the prince!" ”
"Your Majesty, the prince is just a piece of filial piety, this Luo Xiaoyi is outstanding, and it is normal for the prince to choose her!" Fang Xuanling argued.
"Enough, when are you going to favor the prince, do you think I don't know about the Chang family bribing the prince with a boy and sending a geisha to the palace? You avoid the important and take it lightly, and you specifically pick Li Su's thorns, do you think I don't know what kind of heart you have? Li Shimin said angrily, "Xuan Ling, you are the prince's teacher, but you are also an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, you can't be so partial!" ”
"Your Majesty!" His mind was broken, Fang Xuanling knelt down, "The old minister is incompetent, the prince has become like this now, and the old minister is to blame!" ”
Li Shimin said tiredly: "Go back, I have my own decision!" ”
Liang Wangfu
Li Ke walked around in front of Li Su, and when he saw Li Su's unangry look, he hurriedly said: "Why are you still sitting, now Li Tai is going around to impeach you and the prince, you are not in a hurry at all?" ”
"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Until today, he suddenly understood what Chang's conspiracy was, it was really a vicious move, even if it couldn't kill him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay in Chang'an, and the crime of killing the monarch and usurping the throne was too big.
"Then you can't sit here and do nothing, can you?" Li Ke said.
Li Su smiled bitterly: "Who said I don't do anything, I've been thinking of a solution that satisfies everyone, and at the moment I only think of one way!" ”
"What's the solution?" Li Ke asked.
"King Shu!" Li Su gently spit out two words.
Li Ke was stunned, the title of King of Shu was just an honorary title for him, although he was the King of Shu, he had never been to Yizhou, that place was remote and remote, there were many barbarians, it was an uncivilized place, and the Tuyuhun in the west made the people there even more miserable, and going to that fiefdom was tantamount to exile.
"Are you crazy? Where to go? Li Ke said.
"Third brother, can't you see it now? It's not the father who is holding on to this matter, it's not the old ministers who are holding on to it, it's the prince and Li Tai who are holding on to it, they only have one common purpose, which is to make them have one less enemy, isn't it exactly what they want to do? Li Su analyzed.
"But ......" Li Ke is a smart person, of course he understands Li Su's words, Li Tai is impeaching the prince and impeaching Li Su, and the prince is chasing Li Su, in fact, in the past three months, he has never been jealous of Li Su, Li Shimin has never been so affectionate to a son.
Li Ke was silent, Li Su knew that he had also figured this out, after the conversation with Su Mo'er, Li Su thought of this possibility, and made timely preparations, all the copper coins in the palace cellar had been transferred, but he didn't expect this storm to come so fast and so fiercely, and those ministers who were instructed by Li Tai and the crown prince kept admonishing Li Shimin, trying to bring down Li Su.
Choosing to go to Yizhou, Li Su also thought about it seriously, where the Tiangao Emperor is far from the place where he can play freely, and the place of exile for others may not be a good place for him to accumulate grain and slow down the king, rather than being constrained in Chang'an City, it is better to go there to cover the sky with one hand, and occupy the Yangtze River along the land of Bashu, and go down the river to reach the wide ocean, so that his goods can be sold to the world.
This era is the place where 6 roads are not passable and water transport arrives, and when the time comes, your own steamship will be developed, and you will not think of where to go?
Li Ke sighed for a while, saying that he would contact his cronies to protect Li Su tomorrow, and Li Ke also cleaned up, he was going to see Li Shimin, it was time to talk to him about it, he believed that Li Shimin would consider this best of both worlds.
