Chapter 657: The Man Behind the Scenes
After the court meeting dispersed, Li Jiancheng found Pei Lin and said to him: "Jing Zhaoyin submitted a note today, you help me stop it, and after we leave, you will hand it over to Your Majesty." ”
Pei Lin immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll do it." ”
After Pei Lin left, Li Jiancheng thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he went to the Taiji Palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Li Shimin's voice.
He made a silent gesture to the chamberlain guarding the door, and then pricked up his ears to listen.
“...... The two brothers, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, were brave and brave, and their performance was very outstanding when they conquered Liu Heimin.
Now that the two of them followed Li Yi to Chang'an, it's a pity not to go on the expedition.
"Please Aya approve the two of them to join the Tiance Mansion and join me to defend against the Turkic cavalry."
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped into the hall: "Aya." ”
Li Yuan looked at him and smiled: "Da Lang is here, sit down." ”
"Thank you, Aye."
Li Jiancheng sat down and looked at Li Shimin with a smile: "Erlang, were you talking about the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche just now?" ”
"Yes." Li Shimin had an ominous premonition in his heart, could he be trying to rob someone of himself?
Sure enough, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan: "Aya, not long ago, Li Yi told me that he wanted to give me two of his fierce generals, and I have promised him."
"These two fierce generals are the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche."
Li Shimin's eyes became cold, he didn't say it sooner or later, but he only said it when he asked his father for someone, and it was clearly made up.
Since Li Yi entered the court, he openly regarded himself as a princeling, arrogant and domineering, and often targeted him.
He believes that as long as Li Jiancheng says something, Li Yi will definitely cooperate.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are now court officials, and they are not Li Yi's slaves, so they can't just send them."
"What's more, I haven't heard the eldest brother talk about this before, and the two brothers Xue Wanjun haven't entered the East Palace on an errand, is the eldest brother deliberately targeting me when he says this?"
"Of course not, you and I are brothers, how could I deliberately target you?" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.
Li Shimin sneered in his heart, and said without saltiness: "Is it not, just ask the two brothers Xue Wanjun." ”
The smile on Li Jiancheng's face suddenly froze.
This stinky boy, do you have to tear down his platform?
Li Yuan knew what was going on at a glance, but the southern invasion of the Turkic troops was imminent, and the Central Plains had not yet been truly unified, so it was not appropriate for civil strife to occur at this time.
Moreover, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he will feel distressed if he hurts anyone.
Therefore, he can only level out a bowl of water.
"Okay, such a fierce general, it's time to go to the battlefield."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed, it seemed that his father was on his side.
The next moment, he heard Li Yuan say: "You all want these two people, and you can't favor one over the other as a father, just one for each person."
"Xue Wanche entered the East Palace, and Xue Wanjun entered the Tiance Mansion."
Li Shimin: "......"
--------------
Qin Shubao wanted to follow Li Shimin on the expedition, so before the expedition, he went to visit Luo Shixin.
Unexpectedly, after Luo Shixin learned the news that King Qin was going to go on an expedition, he said to Qin Shubao: "I want to go with you." ”
"Nope." Qin Shubao flatly refused: "Your training time is too short to go to the battlefield." ”
Luo Shixin put down the sentence "I'm going to see the King of Qin", got up and left.
Qin Shubao hurriedly followed, and persuaded Luo Shixin all the way.
When Li Shimin heard that Luo Shixin was going to go out with the army, his eyes involuntarily moved to his right leg, and he was particularly surprised when he saw it: "Your leg ...... What about your crutches? ”
Luo Shixin raised his right foot and kicked it: "King, my legs can move, I don't need crutches." ”
Li Shimin was even more confused when he heard it: "What's the matter?" ”
Luo Shixin smiled, walked to the chair and sat down, then took off the boots and socks on his right foot, revealing the inner foot for Li Shimin to see.
"Wang, this is a prosthetic leg given to me by Xiao Yu'er, made by Pingnanhou.
"I've been training with this thing for almost a year, and now I'm able to walk normally and use martial arts."
Li Shimin couldn't believe it: "Can you really still use force?" ”
"Of course, why don't I have a discussion with the king?" Luo Shixin proposed.
"Okay."
The three of them came into the courtyard.
Luo Shixin clenched his fists: "King, offended." ”
When the words fell, he rushed to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes never left Luo Shixin's legs, and he was amazed when he saw him walking like flying and moving flexibly.
The two went back and forth, and the fight was very exciting, and in the end, Li Shimin had a slight advantage and ended the exchange.
Li Shimin praised Luo Shixin without hesitation: "In less than a year, you will be able to recover seventy or eighty percent of your original force, presumably you usually train very hard, right?"
"I'm glad you have such tenacity.
"Okay, this time to defend against the Turks, you can go with me."
Luo Shixin was overjoyed: "Thank you, King." ”
Coming out of the Qin Palace, Luo Shixin said to Qin Shubao: "This time, thanks to Xiao Yu'er, I can regain my self-confidence and live a normal life, I want to go to the door to thank her." ”
"You'd better not go." Qin Shubao said: "She has recently been grounded by His Majesty and can't leave the princess's mansion, so we'd better not disturb her." ”
Luo Shixin: "What's wrong with her?" ”
This little girl is punished and grounded by His Majesty from time to time, which is really dishonest.
Qin Shubao also looked puzzled: "I don't know the specific reason, the king only told me that Xiao Yu'er was willful and angered Your Majesty, so Your Majesty punished her for grounding." ”
"Alright, then let's go see her again when we return victorious."
......
On the second day, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin set off with their troops respectively, and after they left, Pei Lin presented Jing Zhaoyin's recital.
"Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has caught the assassin who assassinated Pingnanhou last time, but these people are all hard bones, and they haven't confessed who is behind the scenes."
Li Yuan finished reading the recital and said: "Let Jing Zhaoyin interrogate carefully, you must find the person behind the scenes, if this person is not removed, I will feel uneasy." ”
Whenever he thought of Lin Zhiwu's assassination, Li Yuan felt that it was a killer sent by a hostile force, and they must have been jealous that Datang had such a powerful firearm, so they sent a killer to assassinate Lin Zhiwu.
Now that he has caught the mouth, he must find out who is behind the scenes.
After another two days, there was a new development in the case.
Jing Zhaoyin presented Li Yuan in person: "Your Majesty, after two days of sleepless interrogation, the minister has obtained the confession of the killer, and I also ask Your Majesty to look at it." ”
After saying that, he lowered his head and offered his confession with both hands.
Yue Yu took the confession from him and put it on the imperial case in front of Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan first saw it, his face was expressionless, and as the confession deepened, his face gradually turned iron-blue.
After reading it, Li Yuan slapped his palm on the imperial case: "How can this be true, Lone let him go last time, and I thought he would reform and keep to himself."
"I didn't expect him to be unrepentant and do such a rebellious thing."
"Come on, go and call Liu Wenjing to Lonely."
