Concubine Yang thought of Lin Yiqi while talking to herself, and sighed a little in her heart: "My sister's sacrifice is really too great, I was obviously on good terms with a scholar at the beginning, but when I learned that I had the opportunity to enter the palace as a wet nurse, I killed the scholar and drowned myself and his child in the well, and now the great cause has been accomplished, as long as I persist for a few more years, the world will belong to Li Zhi, that little guy." ”

Speaking of Li Zhi, Concubine Yang also sighed a little, "Li Zhi, this kid is not only a good fortune, but also forbearant enough over the years, my sister told him that as long as he lies, he has to move his feet, and he can actually hold on, and he will continue to persist until today, and he can't stop his lie until Li Shimin dies." ”

Things in the palace seem to have calmed down, but in fact bigger waves await.

Three days later, in Runzhou City, Yang Chen learned the news of Li Chengqian's death, and he was still surprised, so Cui Gongzi took Li Siwen to his house to find him.

I saw that Cui Gongzi also looked at Yang Chen in disbelief and said: "The prince is really dead, and I heard that he was charged with a lot of crimes before he died, and I don't know if he did it all, if not, it would be too wrong!" ”

Yang Chen looked at Cui Gongzi like a fool, only to see him say helplessly: "Do you need to say this?" It must not have been done by Li Chengqian, he is not such a stupid person, how could he assassinate Li Shimin! ”

Cui Gongzi also nodded, looked at Yang Chen and said, "Then who do you say did all this?" What is their purpose? ”

Yang Chen thought about it, and finally said firmly: "All this should be inseparable from the eldest grandson's family, I heard that in the court, it was the eldest grandson Wuji who forced these charges on Li Chengqian's head." ”

Saying that, Yang Chen sighed a little: "Do you remember what I said before that King Wu's death was too fake?" King Wu's death is paving the way for the people behind the eldest grandson Wuji, who should be the next king that the eldest grandson Wuji will assist. ”

Li Siwen also sighed a little: "Yes, the eldest grandson Wuji never talks much on weekdays, and I can say that he attributed everything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Yang Chen sighed and said, "They should want to use King Wu's death to anesthetize Li Chengqian, so that he thinks that the person who wants to harm him is dead, so that Li Chengqian will not find out if they are doing things in the dark." ”

After a pause, Yang Chen continued: "After that, he arranged assassins to assassinate Li Chengqian, so that Li Chengqian was in a panicked situation, and later even assassinated Wei Zheng and Tang Jian, and even pushed Li Chengqian up without Li Shimin coming back to call the shots, and then the eldest grandson Wuji appeared in time and put forward the idea of a daytime curfew, so that the people and officials were all locked up at home, so that they could not communicate, just wait for Li Shimin to come back, he could put all the responsibility on Li Chengqian." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chen was stunned, he looked at Li Siwen and Cui Gongzi and said: "But all these things can only be realized if one thing happens, that is, Li Zhi will backstab Li Chengqian, and kill him with one blow!" ”

Cui Gongzi nodded and looked at Yang Chen and said: "I heard that there is a life-size human-shaped sandbag in the house of King Jin, since the death of Li Chengqian, King Jin has thrown this sandbag out, it is said that there is a point in the back of the sandbag that has been inserted by a wooden knife, but all this can no longer be called evidence at this moment!" ”

Cui Gongzi sighed a little: "Yang Gongzi really has a unique vision, and he can actually analyze that the King of Dao Jin may become the next successor, admire!" ”

Yang Chen shook his head and didn't explain much, he still had a doubt at this moment, that is, whether Ju Ruan Yu was dead or not, if he found out whether she was Li Chengqian's crime, he would be able to clear up!

A year later, Ju Ruanyu actually appeared, at this moment Yang Chen was living in seclusion in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with Li Yulong and the child, Zhao Zhao and Zhao Yao didn't seem to urge themselves to prepare for big things, but these two people were mysterious and seemed to be busy with something, but Yang Chen didn't know anything about those things.

At this moment, he was sitting in the branch of Yufengzhai, sitting quietly opposite Ju Ruanyu, Yang Chen looked at her with some excited eyes and said, "You have lost weight, you have lost a lot of weight." ”

Ju Ruanyu's tears seemed to be unbearable, and he took Yang Chen's hand and stroked his face.

But before Yang Chen's hand touched Ju Ruanyu's face, a cough suddenly sounded on the side, and I saw Song Zhixiao come to Yang Chen's side with a big belly, looking at the two of them, Song Zhixiao knew that Yang Chen didn't know when he would get into trouble, and said softly after coming to Yang Chen's side: "What are you doing, master, I'm not afraid that my sister will lose her temper with you after I go home!" ”

Yang Chen reluctantly withdrew his hand, looked at Song Zhixiao and said, "Your sister lost her temper with me last time because you knelt at home and had to enter the door, and you yourself are embarrassed to say it!" ”

Song Zhixiao didn't seem to mind Yang Chen telling his old bottom like this, looked at Yang Chen, and then looked at Ju Ruanyu before saying: "It's not because you made my belly bigger, master, I can't ask my sister to let me in!" ”

Yang Chen pursed his lips, no longer explaining why he didn't hold back, but introduced to Song Zhixiao: "This is Ju Ruan Yu!" ”

Without waiting for Yang Chen to finish speaking, Song Zhixiao took over and came: "Is this the dead princess?" How did you live? Why don't you go to the palace to find the prince, come here to find our master! ”

Ju Ruan Yu is not a person to be messed with, looking at Song Zhixiao with a big belly, he thought for a while before asking, "Are you the young lady of the Song family?" ”

Song Zhixiao held Yang Chen's shoulder with one hand and proudly raised his chin and said, "That's right, I'm the eldest lady of the Song family, what's wrong!" ”

Ju Ruanyu sighed, this long sound made Song Zhixiao a little uncomfortable, but Ju Ruanyu continued: "You are the eldest lady of the Song family who is treasonous!" ”

Yang Chen hurriedly stood up and stopped the two, Yang Chen was afraid that the two would fight after saying a few more words.

After sending Song Zhixiao out, Yang Chen returned to the house and looked at Ju Ruan Yu and said, "What happened a year ago?" Why did you fake your death to frame the prince! Why is it happening again now? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out? ”

Ju Ruan Yu saw Yang Chen asking, and could only tell the truth: "It was your aunt who found me a year ago, and I only then learned that Lin Yiqi, the nurse of King Jin, was your aunt, formerly known as Yang Qi, and she told me that if I wanted to be with you, I had to get rid of Li Chengqian first, and the relationship between the two of us was very bad at that time, and finally I agreed to her plan for you!" ”

Saying that, Ju Ruan Yu stretched out his hand to Yang Chen's hand, Yang Chen didn't shake her off, but he was still a little puzzled: "If you didn't like Li Chengqian at the beginning, why didn't you just say it?" ”

Ju Ruanyu shook his head and looked at Yang Chen and said: "At that time, my father and the emperor needed the help of the crown prince, and the prince also needed the help of our Gaochang, plus the prince took the initiative to tell the emperor that I could make my own decisions." ”

Yang Chen was a little surprised, looked at Ju Ruan Yu and said, "The prince went to say kiss in person?" How did I not know this! ”

Ju Ruanyu also looked at Yang Chen a little helplessly and said: "This matter is what my father told me personally, is it still false, and later I asked Li Chengqian, and he himself admitted it!" ”

Yang Chen nodded, looked at Ju Ruan Yu a little helplessly, and said, "Then you don't need to frame him." ”

Ju Ruan Yu saw that Yang Chen was still struggling with this matter, and she also sighed and said: "I don't want to frame him, there are other people to frame him, and the purpose of my fake death is not to frame him, but to escape from the suffocating place in Chang'an City." ”

Yang Chen knew that she had not had a good time in the past few years, looked at her and shook his head and said, "What do you think?" I can't give you a name when you come to me, and you may not even be able to enter my door! ”

Ju Ruanyu looked at Yang Chen, her eyes were full of joy, but after hearing Yang Chen's words, she still said with confidence: "Miss Song can enter your mansion, why can't I get in?" ”

Three years later, in Chang'an City, King Wei seemed to have found evidence that Li Chengqian was framed, but he was knocked unconscious before he could get the evidence to the palace.

Li Shimin looked at the twists and turns in front of him and fell aside with some anger, this is the fourth year after Li Chengqian's death, and Datang has not yet set up the latest prince.

Zhu Suiliang picked up the letter below, looked at the contents confidently, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, are you too partial to King Wei!" ”

Li Shimin glared at him, but still spoke: "How can you be biased, they are all my children, how can I be biased towards him!" ”

Zhu Suiliang didn't seem to see Li Shimin's eyes, and then said: "When the King of Wei rebelled and was demoted, and not long after the former prince was killed, you asked the King of Wei to return to Chang'an, everyone thought that you wanted to make the King of Wei the new prince, but not only did you not set him up, but you also pulled the King of Jin to the court. ”

After a pause, Zhu Suiliang continued: "If you want to test the temperament of the two princes, it's fine, but King Wei is a person who is full of old success, and I don't know how many strategists behind him give advice, and what about King Jin?" Not only did you not get a few good errands, but you were also pertinent in the office, even if you don't praise him, you have to suppress him from time to time, so what's the point of bringing him to the court? ”

Zhu Suiliang couldn't stop anymore as if he had opened the valve, only to see him continue: "If Your Majesty makes the King of Wei the crown prince, then the Tang Dynasty will decline, for three reasons, first, the King of Wei is strong and refuses to bow his head, and when the former prince is there, he will press the former prince everywhere. Second, the king of Wei could not know people, and those advisers under him came up with some bad ideas, but the king of Wei not only did not find out, but would bring these proposals to the court. ”

Zhu Suiliang no longer hesitated to look at Li Shimin and said, "Third, if King Wei becomes the emperor, what will happen to King Jin?" ”

Li Shimin thought of the situation when King Jin died at the hands of King Wei, and finally made a decision.

The next day, the news of the establishment of the king of Jin as the crown prince spread, and the king of Wei was driven back to the garrison soon after for committing an accident.
