Chapter 90: Coping Strategies (I)

What the? How could it be him? Li Zhen was stunned when she heard the name Wang Ji said, her eyes were a little straight, and it took a while to come back to her senses, gritting her teeth and saying: "Wang Ji, Er An dares to deceive this king, saying, what evidence do you have?" ”

"Nope." At this point, Wang Ji also saw it, spread his hands and said: "Grandpa Hou has never left a trace in his actions, the little one has followed him for many years, and he has never done anything less, and he has never held any handle, this little one dares to swear to the sky, if this statement is false, the whole family of the little one will not die well!" ”

Damn, it seems that this guy is not telling a lie, well, with the old monkey's ability, no one can see through it if he really wants to act behind people's back, but why does the old monkey do this? Could it be that the order given by our old man is not successful? Li Zhen was extremely uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't guess the article behind this for a while, and after thinking for a while, she waved her hand and said: "Yan Eighteen, take Wang Ji down, take care of it, no one is allowed to communicate privately without this king's edict!" Li Zhen gave an order, and a group of "Rising Sun" masters stepped forward to tie Wang Ji up, and no matter how Wang Ji shouted injustice, he dragged him out without mentioning it.

"Sir, in your opinion, what Wang Ji said is the truth?" After Li Zhen was silent for a long time, she finally stabilized her mind and looked sideways at Nalong Dao, who had always been hidden in the shadows.

"A little bit of the art of observing people, what this person says should be true." Naron replied without hesitation.

"Oh?" Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this matter is only afraid that there is still a cat tired, hey, maybe the saint is also involved in it." ”

Hearing Li Zhen say this, it was Nalong's turn to be puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still explained: "Mr. doesn't know, Hou Junji has followed the saint since he was a child, and he has always been my father's confidant and favorite general, this is not enough, the change in Xuanwumen was from this person's plan, well, when my father and the emperor started the incident, the secret team was controlled by Hou Junji, and those who bribed the ministers and secretly assassinated Hou Junji were all busy. Over the years, although Hou Junji has fallen out of favor day by day, he has become closer and closer to the prince, and there is no problem here, how can this king believe it, if Hou Junji is not good, it is a chess piece secretly laid by my father. ”

How the truth of the Xuanwumen incident was always a high secret of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the ordinary people, even the ministers of the court and the central government rarely knew the roots, Li Zhen was able to know the mystery, not by the "rising sun" in his hand, in fact, Qin Qiong was on the verge of death because Li Zhen was not on the right path with the prince and Hou Junji, and he was afraid that Li Zhen would suffer a loss, so he privately told Li Zhen.

"No, I'm afraid this thing may not be out of holy will, it seems that Hou Junji is afraid that he is against him!" Naron stood abruptly to his feet, his eyes twinkling as he spoke.

Hou Junji rebelled Li Zhen knew about it in his previous life, but he didn't know the root cause, only knew that later historians had a lot of controversy about this matter, and believed that Hou Junji was wronged, but there were many people. ”

"No, never! Your Highness, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Na Long was in a hurry, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The prince has no evidence in his hands, but it is not enough to rely on Wang Ji's words. If you don't believe it, what can the prince do? I didn't know how to be beaten upside down, but I ate the reprimand of the saint. Moreover, the whereabouts of these weapons are unknown, and we don't know how much strength Grandpa Hou has in his hands, forcibly uncovering this matter, it will immediately be a situation where the fish is dead and the net is broken. This matter can only be secretly planned, and must not be reckless! ”

"Well, that's exactly what I said." Li Zhen nodded and said: "Sir, this king is still a little puzzled: with the experience of the old marquis, he will not be able to see that the emperor's ability is not comparable to others, where did he come from to dare to rebel, and besides, the old monkey has always been close to the boss, and he has always helped the boss all these years, will he not see that the boss is a stupid talent, and will he not see that the saint has the heart to abolish the boss's position as the prince?" There must be something strange in this king's thinking, could it be that my father deliberately asked Hou Junji to help the boss, but in fact, he secretly provoked trouble, so as to oust all the sons who have become a climate? ”

Listening to Li Zhen's analysis, Na Long's confidence was also shaken, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't dare to draw a conclusion, just frowned and said: "Maybe, but I can't say for sure, I still have to take another look, there is still room for maneuver in this matter, and it is too late to make a decision in the future, but how to deal with it now is the key." ”

"Not bad." Li Zhen said with a smile: "Wang Ji is a good bargaining chip in the hands of this king, you have to make good use of it, well, Wang Ji's disappearance, no matter who my father sends to investigate the case, this matter will generally become a headless public case, if you can manage to let the third and fourth children go to this troubled water, it will look good." ”

Seeing Li Zhen's triumphant appearance, Na Long glanced at him angrily, lowered his head and paced in the secret room, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, as the prince wishes, this matter is not as good as ...... Is this possible? ”

"Haha...... Okay, that's it! Li Zhen laughed loudly, and her laughter was full of excitement......

On the ninth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the case of the arsenal of the military department occurred, it was night, there were assassins who secretly broke into the arsenal, more than a dozen officers and soldiers of Yulin who blocked the arsenal were killed, Liu Ji, the director of the arsenal, disappeared, early the next morning, the news came to the palace, the Son of Heaven was furious, and summoned the princes and important ministers in Beijing to the Ganlu Palace to discuss the matter, and the edict was written.

The old man has a call, it is not to be lazy, although Li Zhen has been busy all night, has already been a little sleepy, but as soon as he received the edict, he still hurried to freshen up and change clothes, and planned to take a big sedan chair to the palace, but unexpectedly, just out of the palace gate, not even the sedan chair did not go on, and saw a team of cavalry hurriedly killed, the first person was tall and fat, and it was Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Ha, this kid really can't wait, it's fun, it's so fun! Li Zhen had already calculated that the third and fourth children would come to find her, but she didn't expect the fourth brother to come so quickly, and she was secretly funny in her heart, but she didn't get carried away, hurried a few steps, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you are ......"

Li Tairen is fat, he is in a hurry all the way, he has already been a little out of breath, seeing Li Zhen's puzzled face, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Eighth brother, my brother received an edict, and I came to find the eighth brother to enter the palace together, how about you and my brother ride horses together?" ”

By the way? Who's the way? Political animals are political animals, and telling lies is as easy as fucking drinking water. Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the fourth child's face was as thick as the city wall, without him, Li Zhen lived in the south of the city, but Li Tai's palace was in the west of the city.

"The fourth brother has this Yaxing, and the younger brother should accompany him." Li Zhen already knew Li Tai's true intentions, but he didn't break it, but he just responded with a smile, ordered the big sedan chair to be withdrawn, and asked his subordinates to take out the snow dragon horse, turn over the horse, and lead his subordinates to drive to the palace side by side with Li Tai.

"Eighth brother, what do you think of the arsenal case?" He had only walked a few steps before Li Tai asked a question with a roar, his face full of longing.

Haha, I've caught a stupid one! Li Zhen's mind was very keen, and when she heard the words of the fourth child, she immediately understood that the words that she deliberately let people pass on last night had reached Li Tai's ears, and she was overjoyed, but she pretended to be sad on her face and said: "Fourth brother, the younger brother is also worried about this matter, alas, this matter is not easy to do, and it involves too ...... Ahh......h

Li Zhen's "miss" suddenly lifted Li Tai's spirits, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a lovely smile on his face: "Eighth brother, don't panic, everything has his own father and emperor, but my brother is always on your side, even if the eighth brother investigates, he will not let those treacherous villains escape the punishment of the law of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"What the fourth brother said is that the younger brother has already made his father known, and the younger brother himself is also involved in this matter, and the investigation of the case is not in line with the system, and the father is also approved." Li Zhen's face was full of downturns.

Li Tai naturally knew what Li Zhen said a long time ago, and when he saw Li Zhen's sullen appearance, he immediately laughed and said: "Eighth brother is too modest, haha, others don't know what your eighth brother is like, but my brother can trust the eighth brother's prudence, hehe, rest assured, my brother will protect the eighth brother in front of his father to preside over this case." ”

You are a dog, and you are still playing this trick with Lao Tzu, you really fucking play a big axe in front of Luban, I don't know whether you are alive or dead! Li Zhen glanced at Li Tai, who was full of smug face, and was angry and funny in his heart, but he didn't break it, he just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although my father didn't say it clearly, the meaning is already there, and the younger brother of this case is also a co-investigator, so I don't know who will preside over the overall situation, alas, I'm afraid this case is not easy to solve." ”

"Yes, the eighth brother is right, this case is very important, tsk, so many weapons are lost in the Beijing Division, it's amazing, if there is no competent person to check it, there is a ** out of ten to make a mess, my brother thinks that Lang Zhong Wei Ting of the Criminal Department is good, if he comes to preside over the case, he must be able to succeed immediately, what does the eighth brother think?" Seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace, Li Tai stopped talking nonsense and bluntly mentioned his intentions.

Ha, the fox's tail is exposed, it's fun! Li Zhen pretended to be groaning, frowned tightly and pretended to think, so anxious that Li Tai's eyes were full of fire, and he couldn't wait to answer for Li Zhen by himself, but Li Zhen was not in a hurry, and rode on the horse leisurely, and said for a while: "Since it is the person that my brother likes, it is not bad, and the younger brother knows it in his heart." ”

"Haha, okay, the case is solved, my brother is the east, please have a good time!" As soon as Li Tai heard the meaning of Li Zhen's words, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, and took the lead in turning a corner and rushing in the direction of the palace......
