"He committed suicide by hanging a beam with a belt. I asked the little eunuch, and he took a confession and returned to the palace with his own people, and Wang Cairen was not present when he committed suicide. ”

"Then, there are two possibilities for this matter, the first is that in order to convince the emperor, someone with a heart found a stand-in to imitate Wang Cairen's accent handwriting, and deliberately staged a play in front of the eunuch sent by the emperor, and when the little eunuch left, he ordered someone to strangle Wang Cairen to death, and then created a scene of fear of guilt and self-hanging. ”

"This—" King Guangping's pupils dilated, and a look of horror appeared on his face, "Do they dare to be so vicious?"

Of course, this is only the speculation of the villain, but many people who have died unjustly have indeed been strangled, and then hanged themselves, which is the simplest and most effective. ”

"What about the second one?"

"The second type will be more complicated and difficult, at least I haven't seen it in the prosecutor's hall for so many years. ”

"Oh, can't you do it with the strange people and strange people who are snare in the Prosecutor's Office?"

"Yes. I also saw this matter in a secret file, in the archives of the Criminal Department there is a case about the former Dynasty Detective Di Renjiedi, when he was still in charge of the state law Cao, he encountered a strange case of a demon monk in the Western Regions who harmed the women of a good family, and the number of victims was as many as more than 30 people. It is incomprehensible that those women did not know what they had done before, and if it had not been broken once, I am afraid that this case would never have been known. Later, Master Di made some designs, and only then did he find out that the demon monk's method was actually a strange trick called soul magic. ”

"This has nothing to do with this case—"

"Spiritualism is a form of sorcery that manipulates the minds of others, and the person who controls it obeys the instructions of the caster wholeheartedly. ”

"I can't imagine that there is such a strange thing in the world, what about the demon monk?"

Naturally, he was executed by Master Di, and he recorded this case to warn his colleagues and the world. ”

"Well, that's how it should be. It's just that if Wang Cairen was really controlled by others, he made those confessions, wouldn't it be more difficult to find evidence. ”

"Well, but according to Master Di's dossier, people who perform soul magic often use a spice as an aid, and maybe you can start with this clue. It's just that I want to go to the prison, and I have to check the bones of Wang Cairen, and I ask the prince to forgive the villain's disrespectful crime. ”

"It is important to wash away the grievances of my brother. ”

The villain understood. But what if the truth is revealed?"

"What do you mean—"

"Forgive the villain's courage, even if the case is cleared, do you still want the Golden Palace to face the saint and tell the emperor that he killed his son by mistake?"

"This—" King Guangping's face sank, this was indeed something he had never thought of before. Throughout the ages, no emperor would admit his mistakes? And even if he did, what would he do? Now that my father was working day and night, his health was already much worse than before, and he was afraid that his father would find out the news and would not be able to bear the blow.

"Therefore, please also ask the prince to think about future countermeasures as soon as possible, even if the evidence is conclusive, I am afraid that many things cannot be rushed. ”

"That's fine. The king has one more thing to ask you. ”

"Lord Wang, please speak. ”

"At the beginning, I advised you to leave Li Fuguo's side, but now you have a choice. ”

"Lord Wang, hasn't the villain already made a choice. ”

King Guangping smiled with satisfaction, "And then?"

"The villain is in the prosecutor's hall, and I believe it can help the prince more. ”

"Good. ”

"Thank you for your love. ”

A huge black cloud gradually obscured the cold moon, and Chang'an City had already entered the curfew.

Xingqing Palace, calyx Xianghui building. The red candle is burning, and the fire is booming.

A gorgeous woman is slowly dancing with a graceful figure, and her appearance is somewhat similar to that of Yang Guifei in the past.

Of course, this is a good thing done by Gao Lishi, for him, as long as Emperor Xuanzong is happy, anything is worth doing.

Xuanzong looked indifferent.

He already knew the news of King Jianning's suicide, but he was noncommittal.

There are no such examples among his own sons and daughters. It's just that when these things happen to my grandchildren, I still feel a little sad in my heart.

Colliers has done its best. King Jianning, this kid is too stubborn, maybe he must have wronged himself for a while, maybe he can get a turnaround.

But what worries him the most is the current emperor, his submissive son, who is now forcing his child to death.

He hasn't changed, but his status is not what it used to be. He is still so indecisive and easily at the mercy of others. That's what really worries me.

Emperor Xuanzong stared intently at the dancer in front of him, his graceful dancing posture and coquettish smile attracted his thoughts to constantly drift in the past and reality, and his eyes revealed a little bit of light that only a young man can have.

"Your Majesty, the hour is not early. Gao Lishi leaned over to Emperor Xuanzong's ear and whispered to sleep.

Xuanzong waved his hand, and Gao Lishi lightly ordered the dancers and musicians to retreat.

Xuanzong looked at Gao Lishi, sitting firmly on the chair, without any intention of moving.

Gao Lishi only told Emperor Xuanzong the news of King Jianning early this morning, and he has been sitting there ever since, enjoying the singing and dancing without stopping.

The servants retreated. Colliers fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, the slave deserves death for his crimes, and he deserves to die for his crimes, Your Majesty. ”

"Lux, how many years have you been following the widow?" Emperor Xuanzong diverted the topic.

"Since the first year of Jinglong, it has been a full fifty years. ”

Hearing Emperor Xuanzong ask like this, Gao Lishi couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes were red and tears were hot.

"When I was claustrophobic in the Forbidden Palace by Empress Wu, I was only seven years old, and I didn't go out of court for seven years. ”

Empress Wu is Wu Zetian.

In the second year of Zaichu, Empress Wu deposed Emperor Li Dan of Ruizong and moved to the East Palace.

In the same year, Empress Wu established himself as the emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, and set the capital of Luoyang, which was called the capital of God. In addition, the era name was changed to heaven.

After the Wu clan became emperor, he began to frantically strangle the heirs of Emperor Li Tang, especially the kings and annihilation.

In the second year of the Heavenly Grant, Shang Fang Supervisor Pei Bandit bowed, and Fan Yunxian, the regular attendant, met the emperor's heir privately, and after the Empress of Heaven found out, she immediately ordered the two to be killed. From then on, Li Dan, who had been deposed as the crown prince, was forbidden to receive ministers from ministers.

The three sons of the young Xuanzong and the second uncle Li Xian began a long claustrophobic career in the forbidden palace, and they did not even go out of court for more than ten years.

"Yes. The emperor's wisdom and perseverance are very incomparable. ”

"Huh. Xuanzong smiled, "Thinking of those years, how many people can know the hardships." ”

In the first year of Hongdao, Tang Gaozong Li died of illness. The crown prince Li Xian inherited the position.

The following year, in February of the first year of the Emperor, Zhongzong Li Xian, who had been emperor for fifty-five days, was deposed by Wu Zetian as the king of Luling.

In the same year, Li Dan, the king of Yu, was appointed as the emperor, which was Ruizong. That is, Xuanzong's father became Wu Zetian's puppet emperor.

Six years later, in the first year of Tianzhu, Wu Zetian deposed Ruizong Li Dan and established himself as emperor.

Fifteen years later, in the first year of Shenlong, Prime Minister Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei and others launched a Shenlong coup, killing Wu Zetian's first Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang, and forcing Wu Zetian to be located in Li Xian. Li Xian was once again proclaimed emperor.

Another five years later, Jinglong four years, Zhongzong was poisoned by Empress Wei. Empress Wei established Li Chongmao, the king of Wen, as the emperor, and wanted to follow the example of Emperor Zetian, and wantonly recruited henchmen.

In June of the same year, Li Longji recruited heroes from all walks of life in Chang'an, and with the help of Ge Fushun and other generals of the forbidden army, he took the lead in launching a mutiny under the banner of "punishing Wei to restore Sheji, and establishing the prime minister Wang to calm the world", and killed Wei Hou and his henchmen.

Li Chongmao took the throne, and Li Dan reascended the throne.

Two years later, in the second year of Xiantian, Ruizong Li Danchan was located in the crown prince Li Longji.

And Princess Taiping still relied on her power in the court, interfered in political affairs, and even openly proposed to abolish Li Longji.

In the third year of the first year, Li Longji launched a congenital coup d'état to completely extinguish the power of Princess Taiping. Since then, the situation of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan has begun.

In just over 20 years, the throne was extremely abolished, and it was an extremely difficult time for the children of the Li Tang royal family.

And in these many years of hardship, Gaolishi has always been by Xuanzong's side and has made many meritorious achievements.

Recalling the past, the light in the eyes of Xuanzong and Gao Lishi became more and more enthusiastic.

"Now that the slave is old, there are many things that can no longer be shared for His Majesty. ”

"You've done your best, we're all too old, and there's a lot of things for the younger generations to go through. ”

"The emperor suddenly mentioned those years, could it be-"

"You guessed it right. ”

"Your Majesty has always had insight into the current situation of the Heavenly Dao, and the old slave admired and admired him all his life. ”

"What's going on with King Guangping?"

"I was worried about Wang Cai's confession, and today I also met a person who was born with Xian Yuyan, and Xian Yuyan also brought a little carpenter from Shaofu Temple with him. ”

"Oh, it's strange, even if Xian Yuyan is in charge of Zuo Jin Wuwei and wants to investigate Wang Cairen's affairs, he can't help. As for the little carpenter and the stranger—"

"Maybe the prince has his own intentions, in this matter, it can be seen that King Guangping is also a person who is affectionate and righteous, chivalrous and courageous. ”

"Yes, if this hadn't happened, he wouldn't have come to see me, the cruel imperial grandfather. ”

"Your Majesty is serious, Your Majesty should never say that. ”

"The widow wants to see him again, and you call him to the palace tomorrow. ”

"It's—the minions do their best to arrange. ”

"Are there a lot of miscellaneous people outside the Xingqing Palace?"

"Yes, but it doesn't get in the way, the old slave will find a way. Yesterday, in order to enter the palace, King Guangping also beat the prison guards guarding the door, and then he came in. ”

Emperor Xuanzong exhaled softly and motioned for Gao Lishi to help him go to bed.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

It's a black-haired monkey. As Emperor Xuanzong's secret guard, he was specially given the right to meet at the opportunity.

Xuanzong and Gao Lishi were stunned.

Colliers scrambled to the door and opened it a crack, and the black-haired monkey stood outside the door, and another person was hidden in the shadows.

Gao Lishi was shocked, and when he looked closely, the late-night visitor turned out to be Li Yu, the king of Guangping.

Colliers hurriedly let the King of Quang Binh in.

"Aweng, please give me a word. ”

"The prince is invited to come in, the old emperor is still talking about you. ”

The king of Quang Binh was still holding an object in his arms, which was tightly wrapped in cooked cowhide.

Guangping Wang Shili saw Emperor Xuanzong, opened the package and presented it to Emperor Xuanzong, which was the wooden box that Yu Nuohai got from Zhaoling.

"Yu'er, what is this?"

King Guangping knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up: "Returning to the emperor's grandfather, it is a relic left by Emperor Taizong." ”
