Chapter Eighty-Five: Shaking in All Directions
King Wei was still anxious, and Li Chengqian and others also received the news of King Wu's assassination.
The two of them glanced at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes, and they didn't believe that King Wu would die so easily, and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Is it possible that King Wu is calculating and wants to fake his death?" β
It's no wonder that Xiangxin thinks so, after all, many TV series I have watched before have pictures of bad guys faking their deaths, secretly increasing their strength, just waiting for the last appearance to give the protagonist a head-on blow!
Li Chengqian was also a little overwhelmed when he heard the words of satisfying his heart, he felt very deeply about King Wu over the years, that naΓ―ve younger brother has become the enemy today, one by one he recalled it in his heart, sighed and didn't say more, looked at Cheng Chu who was kneeling on the side and said silently: "Is your source reliable?" Wouldn't it be braggadocio in that restaurant again, wouldn't you want to spread such an unobtrusive word to Lone's ears? β
Cheng Chumo naturally knew that Li Chengqian didn't want to believe it, so he raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian, who was still trying to restrain himself, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the news was sent by Commander Li Junxian, he said that His Royal Highness King Wu was burned to death by the fire, and his body had become charcoal, except for the wrench finger on his hand to prove his identity, he couldn't find any traces!" β
Li Chengqian couldn't stand up after all, took a few steps back, sat in his chair and didn't say more, all he left was that sigh.
I still didn't believe that King Wu would die so outrageously, so I hurriedly asked Cheng Chumo and said, "Li Junxian went to King Wu's mansion?" Have you found out who committed the assassination? β
Cheng Chumo saw that Li Chengqian didn't speak, and hurriedly responded to the words that were satisfactory, "Commander Li caught His Royal Highness the King of Chu in Chenghe Restaurant and entered the palace, and then went to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to wait for the news, and finally did not wait for the news of the assassination of the prince, but waited for the news of the assassination of His Royal Highness King Wu!" β
After a pause, Cheng Chumo continued: "According to His Royal Highness King Wu's servant, the person who assassinated King Wu was a Turkic!" β
Xiangxin was also a little surprised when he heard this, and looked at Li Chengqian on the side and said, "Turks! Prince, did you hear, His Royal Highness the King of Wu who was assassinated by the Turks, then this matter may be related to the King of Chu, after all, the Turks were brought by him! β
Li Chengqian was no longer sluggish, raised his head and looked at him and said: "It's impossible, he Li You is not a fool, what good is it for him to bring Turks to Chang'an to assassinate King Wu!" β
Suddenly, Li Chengqian remembered that he was near King Wu's mansion when he was assassinated in the morning, maybe these two groups of people are a group of people? Thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Chumo and said: "Cheng Chumo, you go to Li Junxian and ask him if it is possible for the wave of people who assassinated me in the morning, and the people who assassinated King Wu are a wave, and those people are masked and don't speak, and they are a group of people!" β
Chengxin also felt terrible, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "If this is really the case, you and King Wu were assassinated by the Turks, then whose throne will be?" β
The two of them thought of a name at the same time, "King Wei!" Li Tai! β
Chengxin still couldn't believe it, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "How can King Wei have such guts, how dare he assassinate the two princes!" β
Li Chengqian didn't dare to believe that it would be the King of Wei, but when he thought of the King of Chu who had just been arrested, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "In the past, he naturally didn't have the guts, but now there is an extra King of Chu in Chang'an City, what dare he dare!" β
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, he also understood King Wei's calculations, and then said, "Is the King of Chu a fool? Why was it used by King Wei, and even used as a knife block! β
Li Chengqian also thought about this question carefully, and at this time, he was no longer able to stand, and looked at Cheng Chumo on the side and said, "No, I want to go to King Wu's Mansion to have a look!" β
Xiangxin hurriedly grabbed Li Chengqian, who wanted to go out, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What can you do in the past, there are three doubts now, the first is whether King Wu was really assassinated, whether the person who died is King Wu, the second is whether the group of people who assassinated King Wu and the group of people who assassinated you are a group, and finally if it is all planned by King Wei, then what conditions did he promise to King Chu so that he can be willing to be a scapegoat!" β
Li Chengqian also knew that he was a little reckless, but it was too difficult for him to sit here obediently and wait for the news, and if he didn't go over to check on his brother's assassination, wouldn't it confirm the rumors of brotherly discord.
But when he heard the words, Li Chengqian also tried his best to calm down, and sat down obediently and said, "Then what do you say!" I can't do nothing! β
Thinking back to the TV series I watched in the past, if the opponent died, what should the protagonist do to not lose his identity?
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Prince, you can just sit here, Brother Cheng and I will take two hundred elite soldiers to the Wu Wangfu to maintain order, if there are already officers and soldiers there, then I will let Brother Cheng take these two hundred people to search for assassins in the city, whether they are found or not, in short, they must be enough!" β
Li Chengqian nodded, although he didn't have any feelings about the death of King Wu, but the assassination of the two princes one after another today is really a big deal, if you don't investigate this matter to the end, it will definitely not end well, and he looked at it and said: "This matter will be handed over to you, don't pay attention to safety!" β
nodded heartily, looked at Xie Ziwen on the side and said, "I have him, make sure I don't have a problem!" β
When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered about the Turks, and hurriedly looked back at Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter who asks you about the Turks, you just say you don't know, otherwise this matter may be set on fire!" β
Li Chengqian naturally thought of this, looked at the direction of his heart and nodded: "Okay, you go and come back quickly, I'll wait for your news!" β
Xiangxin walked to King Wu's mansion with people, King Wei was still anxiously thinking about countermeasures, and Concubine Yang in the palace also got the news of King Wu's assassination.
This Concubine Yang is naturally not simple, the beloved daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, can live in the enemy's palace, and gave birth to two sons for the enemy, the depth of her scheming is naturally not a few words that can be described, but over the years, Concubine Yang has been quiet and has never been quiet, even if King Wu told her that she was going to take the heir and participate in the party struggle, Concubine Yang never intervened, causing King Wu to be struggling at the beginning, and now that her son has been killed, the mother really can't bear this breath.
Concubine Yang wanted to go to the emperor as soon as she got the news, but before she stepped out of the palace, Concubine Yang stopped, and after thinking twice, Concubine Yang sent away the people who came to report the news, and returned to the palace to wait for Li Shimin's arrival.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Shimin to receive the news of King Wu's assassination, Li Shimin was not only shocked, but more angry, his first thought was that the party was fighting for the heir, and couldn't help but scold: "Isn't there enough blood shed in Xuanwumen at the beginning!" β
Saying that, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that Li Junxian brought the king of Chu to the palace from outside the palace in the morning, and the king of Chu at this time was still hanging aside by himself, and he didn't know if the king of Chu and the king of Wu had anything to do with the assassination.
Li You was lying in this side hall and only felt extremely bored, and his heart had already prepared for facing Li Shimin's lies, and even seamless could not be called a lie, Li You was lying on the table at this time and playing with chess pieces boringly, when he suddenly heard a loud bang, and the door behind him was kicked open.
Li You turned his head before he was about to scold, and suddenly saw Li Shimin carrying a sword into the house, Li You immediately stood up from the chair, the calmness just now disappeared in an instant, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching, looking at Li Shimin's direction, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, my father and sons came back this time to accompany Concubine Fang to congratulate her father's sixtieth birthday, and the ministers can't stop Concubine Fang, this is her filial piety, and it is also a piece of filial piety, and the father, the emperor and the sons also miss their fathers and emperors very much!" β
Li You's mouth was like a machine gun, and he was saying the lines he had prepared earlier, and Li You didn't pause at all in this long paragraph, and it was inconvenient for the author to add punctuation marks to him here!
As if he hadn't heard Li You's words, Li Shimin took the scabbard of the sword and slammed it on Li You's shoulder, and then kicked down Li You, who was kneeling in place, and then pulled out the sword and pointed at Li You's eyebrows and said, "King Wu was assassinated, did you do it!" β
