Chapter 736: The Prince's Temptation
Li Shimin couldn't believe it, and confirmed to Wei Chi Jingde: "Are you sure it's them?" ”
"I'm sure, it's them." Wei Chi Jingde is very sure of his judgment.
Hearing this, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
If Zhang Da and Li Sixing were assassins, then the assassins captured by Jing Zhaoyin at that time were fake, and if no one instructed him, Jing Zhaoyin would never dare to lie to him.
The person who served as Jing Zhaoyin at that time was his father's confidant, and even if Li Jiancheng instructed Jing Zhaoyin to do this, his father would know.
And his father knew the inside story, not only hiding it from him, but also helping Li Yuanji protect Zhang Da and Li Sixing.
"Damn!"
Li Shimin slapped his palm on the table, his expression was very angry, his father's move was clearly to shield Li Yuanji.
No, his father was helping Li Jiancheng target him.
Since the pacification of Hebei, Li Yuanji has stood on Li Jiancheng's side, and many things were instructed by Li Jiancheng to do it, so his father was shielding Li Yuanji, and he was shielding Li Jiancheng.
It is said that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, why did his father repeatedly cover up Li Jiancheng's crimes?
Is it because Li Jiancheng is the eldest son?
However, it is clear that his merits and talents are above Li Jiancheng, and the position of the prince should be inherited by the best prince, right?
There is also today's matter, his father is also helping Li Jiancheng, he can even imagine that if Li Chengdao really kills his son, his father will not kill Li Chengdao to avenge his son, and in the end, it must be a small punishment and a big commandment, and it will be gently revealed.
However, his son is his last bottom line, and no one can touch it.
At this moment, Li Shimin's heart to compete for the position of prince is even more firm, if he was still worried about moral public opinion before, then now he doesn't care.
Wei Chi Jingde looked at Li Shimin's expression constantly changing, and was very worried: "Wang, are you okay?" ”
Hearing his voice, Li Shimin came back to his senses and said lightly: "It's okay, you go back first." ”
"Yes."
After Wei Chi Jingde left, Li Shimin instructed Du Junqiu: "Pass my order and convene the subordinate officials of the Qin Palace's affairs tomorrow." ”
It didn't take long for Li Yuan's reward to be delivered to the Qin Palace, or more precisely, to compensate Li Chengqian for what happened today.
Li Shimin looked at the mountain of rewards and let out a sneer.
......
Before dawn the next day, Li Jiancheng got up and prepared to go to the morning court.
Zheng Guanyin also got up and changed clothes for Li Jiancheng.
"Do you think Wang Yu supports me more, or does he support King Qin more?" Li Jiancheng asked suddenly.
Zheng Guanyin was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, she thought for a while: "If Wang Yu treats the female dependents and children of the East Palace and the Qin Palace, on the surface, there is no difference, they are very kind.
"If you talk about Your Highness and King Qin, it seems that she treats Her Highness better, I have heard that she often quarrels with King Qin, and I have seen it once, when King Qin was so angry with her that his face turned blue, and he was very angry.
"However, she is now an official, and I don't know what she is doing in the officialdom."
After listening, Li Jiancheng was silent, he had also seen Wang Yu and Li Shimin quarrel, and when the quarrel was in the back, they also moved their hands.
From this point of view, Wang Yu is indeed better to him, at least she will not contradict him, will not do anything to him, at most she will refute him when she has different opinions.
Zheng Guanyin helped him fasten his belt, took a few steps back, looked at it for a while, and when he saw that there was no problem, he smiled and said, "Since Your Highness is suspicious, why don't you test it?" ”
Li Jiancheng also smiled: "You're right. ”
Subsequently, he summoned the palace people and ordered: "If Princess Jinyang enters the palace today, let her come to the East Palace." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The palace people received the order.
......
Thinking that Li Yuan might be unhappy because of yesterday's events, Wang Yu specially went to the palace today to accompany Li Yuan for breakfast.
When Li Yuan was in a good mood, Wang Yu retired and left Taiji Palace.
But as soon as she came out of the Taiji Palace, the people from the East Palace came: "Princess Jinyang, the prince invites you to go to the East Palace now." ”
Wang Yu followed the palace people in the direction of the East Palace, and at the same time wondered in his heart whether he had done anything inappropriate recently.
When he arrived at the East Palace, he only saw Li Jiancheng and Su Dingfang in the palace, Wang Yu knew that he must be questioning her, and his heart suddenly raised his vigilance.
However, she was very calm on the surface, and saluted Li Jiancheng with a smile: "Eldest brother Wan'an." ”
"I've seen Princess Jinyang." Su Dingfang endured the pain and saluted Wang Yu.
Wang Yu nodded at Su Dingfang, and then looked at Li Jiancheng: "I don't know what happened to the eldest brother looking for me?" ”
Li Jiancheng didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Someone told me that you are pretending to take refuge in me, but in fact, you secretly support King Qin." ”
Wang Yu's face changed, and he said angrily: "My position of supporting the East Palace is so obvious, I helped the eldest brother to be an undercover agent by King Qin's side, and I didn't complain about the danger, the eldest brother should know it in his heart."
"Which miser is this miser who framed me? Call him out, and I will confront him. ”
Her expression was indignant, as if she had been wronged, Li Jiancheng believed her for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses again and asked, "Then tell me, why did Gao Huitong save Li Chengqian desperately yesterday?"
"Don't tell me that Gao Huitong is to stop the crime of the King of Anlu County, to save the King of Anlu County, I am not a fool, I can tell the difference."
Wang Yu chuckled in her heart, these words completely blocked her back road.
She looked grim and said honestly: "Yes, I instructed it." ”
"Why?" Li Jiancheng's eyes grew cold, but there was still a hint of expectation in it.
"Because Li Chengqian is still a child, the political struggle should not involve his wife and children, if yesterday's situation changed to the danger of the king of Anlu County, or the danger of the eldest sister-in-law, I and the people around me will be desperate to save it."
Li Jiancheng was stunned.
Wang Yu continued: "When I promised you to go undercover by King Qin's side, I said that I couldn't hurt my life.
"Whether it is the life of the eldest grandson, or the life of her son, or the life of King Qin, I will not hurt it, nor will I die without saving it.
"This is also the only condition for me to help you bring down King Qin, eldest brother should still remember, right?"
After a long time, he and Li Shimin fought fiercely, but he forgot the original promise, and half of the doubts in Li Jiancheng's heart were gone.
Wang Yu observed his expression and said, "Maybe the eldest brother will think that I am soft-hearted, but I am a child and an orphan.
"I don't want to see other children like me, orphans without parents and fathers, especially the children I watched grow up.
"Therefore, if the eldest brother wants to condemn his crimes, I am willing to accept the punishment."
Her words touched Li Jiancheng's heart.
In fact, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to kill Li Shimin, nor did he want to kill Li Shimin's wife and children, on the one hand, he was afraid of the condemnation of public opinion, and on the other hand, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
No matter how fierce he and Li Shimin fought openly and secretly, Li Shimin was always his own brother, they used to have a deep brotherly relationship, riding horses and hunting together, and they lived a very happy life.
He will be desperate to eradicate Li Shimin's power, so that he is not qualified to covet the position of prince, but he will spare Li Shimin's life. At this point, he and Wang Yu have the same goal.
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng smiled at Wang Yu: "You are really a good boy who values love and righteousness, I appreciate it, sit down." ”
Wang Yu didn't sit down, but asked, "It's the King of Qi who framed me, right?" ”
