Chapter 222: Blinded
Zhao Yao left the room after hearing Zhao Zhao's words, the strange thing is that no one in this room has lit the lamp from beginning to end, and he doesn't know how Zhao Yao found the water cup just now.
One afternoon three days later, Zhao Yao came to the side door of the courtyard where the King of Shu lived with a package on his back, and after a while, Commander Wu opened the side door, took the package in Zhao Yao's hand and said, "Everything is ready, right?" โ
Zhao Yao and Commander Wu gestured, and then left the side door, and the whole moment of handover was blatant, but no one saw it.
A few days ago, Mo Juzi upgraded the flying kite, and now he only needs a breeze, plus a high point, people can glide out with the help of a kite, and he also made a few kites and took them to the backyard of Yufengzhai to show Zhao Zhao.
"Brother Zhao, this thing looks amazing, this thing can fly!" Said proudly.
Zhao Zhao looked at the kite and said a little strangely: "Can this thing fly?" How to fly! How can I not believe it! โ
Chengxin and Zhao Zhao explained how this thing should fly all afternoon, and Brother Zhao finally believed it, and then Brother Zhao confiscated the big kite, which was too dangerous.
At night, in the palace, Li Shimin listened to the report of the imperial doctor, and showed a satisfied smile, Princess Jinyang's body is really getting better day by day, if it weren't for the recent cooler weather, I don't have to stay in the house all the time, thinking of this, Li Shimin said: "Tell the prince, let him come to the palace tomorrow, I want to reward him heavily!" โ
The old eunuch on the side also immediately spread the news, but before he could come back, Li Junxian waited for a thick package to come back from outside the palace.
Li Shimin saw Li Junxian's anxious appearance and immediately asked: "What's wrong, why are you so panicked!" โ
Li Junxian didn't dare to be ambiguous, put the package next to Li Shimin, and then knelt down on one knee and said: "Emperor Qiqi, today the hundred horsemen met a thief when they were inspecting Chang'an, and then after chasing for a while, the thief ran to the courtyard where the king of Shu lived, and the hundred horsemen hesitated and chased in, and later found this thing in the palace of the king of Shu. โ
Li Shimin also showed a strange look when he heard Li Junxian's words, how could the things found in the Shu King's Mansion make Li Junxian so nervous, thinking of this, Li Shimin also immediately opened the package, looking at the python robe and the prince's seal that were clearly visible inside, as well as a few letters.
Li Shimin showed an unbelievable look, because in his opinion, the King of Shu is the most obedient among so many princes, although the King of Shu seems to be fun-loving, but if you investigate carefully, you will know that he is pretending to be just making way for his brother, and now the King of Shu also has the intention of seizing the heir, is it really the illusion that he gave these princes?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin opened a letter casually, and the content in it surprised him even more, only to see that the letter clearly recorded the conspiracy between the King of Shu and Changsun Chong, and snatched half of the pot that Ashina Muyun threw to Changsun Chong before.
Li Shimin said in disbelief: "Are these things really found in the other courtyard of the King of Shu?" โ
Li Junxian nodded silently, at this time he also knew that the emperor's heart was very entangled, and he was naturally unwilling to provoke the emperor's bottom line.
Li Shimin covered his head a little helplessly, and said to himself: "No wonder Concubine Yang has been talking to me these days, hoping that the King of Shu can ascend to the court to share my worries, no wonder the King of Shu has been living in a simple house, but let his subordinates open a warehouse to harvest the hearts of the people, no wonder ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
When Li Shimin still felt a little speechless, Li Junxian said in a low voice: "Then how to deal with this matter!" โ
Li Shimin also gritted his teeth after hearing Li Junxian's words, looked at Li Junxian and said, "Tomorrow, why don't you go and call the King of Shu and Concubine Yang to me now, I want to personally ask them what they want!" โ
After Li Junxian received the order, he immediately ordered someone to pick up the king of Shu, and then when the king of Shu entered the palace, he went to order someone to inform Concubine Yang, but although Li Junxian did this secretly, the news still reached the ears of the king of Wei, and the king of Wei looked at Zhao Yao with satisfaction and said: "This thing is good, Li Junxian actually brought the king of Shu to the palace so quickly, this efficiency is too fast!" โ
Zhao Yao looked at King Wei proudly and said: "That's not it, it's just that the credit for this matter today is not mine, only the blame for the hundred horses is too ostentatious, as if they are afraid that no one will know that he is doing things for the emperor, and the people we invited naturally needless to say, while leading the hundred horses to the courtyard of the King of Shu, while putting things in, the two things are done together, it is perfect!" โ
King Wei didn't think about it, just looked at Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "I really want to go to the palace now to quietly talk about the face of King Shu and see if he can still be as calm and calm as in the past, with a smile on his face!" โ
At this time, the king of Shu was naturally not full of smiles, but full of confusion.13 He was listening to the maid in the mansion telling him the latest script of Yufengzhai, but he didn't expect Li Junxian's people to suddenly come to his courtyard and forcibly bring him directly to the palace.
After seeing Li Shimin, the king of Shu also immediately said: "Father, what's the matter, why did you call your sons to the palace so late, can't you talk about it tomorrow!" โ
Before the words of the King of Shu fell, Concubine Yang's voice came from behind: "Your Majesty? Why did you summon your concubines? After saying this, Concubine Yang saw the King of Shu kneeling on the ground, Concubine Yang knelt to the side and said with a little trembling: "Chen'er? Why are you here? What did you do to upset your father? โ
The King of Shu looked back at Concubine Yang, and said with an innocent face: "Mother, the sons don't know what the father and the emperor called the sons for!" Saying that, the king of Shu turned his head to look at Li Shimin and said: "Father, if the son does something that makes the father unhappy, the son hopes that the father will forgive the son!" โ
Li Shimin looked at the two kneeling people below and threw the package in his hand, and said coldly: "Take a look for yourself, see what Baiqi has found in your house?" Isn't it good to be an idle prince? Why do you have to go for the heir? โ
Li Shimin's words exploded in the ears of King Shu and Concubine Yang like a bomb, and the two immediately opened the package and saw the python robe and the prince's seal, as well as a letter that had been opened.
The king of Shu opened the letter in a panic, and when he saw the content inside, he had never heard of it, and immediately said to Li Shimin: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the son is wronged, these things have never been seen by the son of the minister, someone must be trying to frame the son of the minister!" โ
Li Shimin's eyes widened, looked at the King of Shu and said, "Wronged? I ask you, where did you get the food to distribute to the people in the days when the flood first started? I ask you why to this day there are still people who propose that you enter the court to share my worries? You say these are all wronged? So why are you doing these things? โ
The King of Shu was also choked when he heard Li Shimin's words, he didn't know how to explain these things, no matter what he said, his purpose was to seize the heir for Li Shimin.
Concubine Yang on the side saw that the King of Shu was silent and immediately explained: "It was the concubine who asked Chen'er to do this, and the concubine has no selfish intentions, she just wants to avenge Ke'er, after all, his death is unknown, and a few days ago there were rumors that he died from the framing of Changsun Chong, but we are obviously royal people, why can't even his eldest grandson's family deal with it!" โ
Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang, pointed at the King of Shu angrily and said, "Don't you know, what is written in your good son's letter, Changsun Chong did half of what he did before, and you still want him to avenge Ke'er?" โ
When Concubine Yang heard this, she also looked at the King of Shu with a stunned face, and said in disbelief: "Chen'er, is what your father said true?" Is it really your brother who you framed? Why are you doing this? โ
The king of Shu naturally wouldn't admit it, but he looked at Concubine Yang and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, the son is wronged, the son really hasn't done these things, this is someone else wronging the son!" โ
Concubine Yang also looked firm, then looked at Li Shimin and said: "The emperor is clear, the concubine believes that Chen'er is not such a person, and there must be a traitor framed in this matter!" โ
Li Shimin looked at the two of them with a deep mother-son relationship, and covered his head a little helplessly and said: "Tomorrow, the king of Shu will leave Chang'an, I will not pursue this matter anymore, you can be your idle prince in Jingzhou!" โ
When the king of Shu heard this, instead of being grateful and thankful, he looked at Li Shimin and shouted: "Father, the son is really wronged, the son is not unwilling to leave Chang'an, but if he leaves Chang'an like this, the son will leave with this charge, and the son is unwilling to suffer, let alone the traitor's trick succeeds!" โ
Concubine Yang on the side saw that the King of Shu was so determined, and immediately said: "Please also ask the emperor to be clear, if you let Chen'er leave with such a name, it will be nailed to the pillar of shame!" โ
Li Shimin squinted at the two of them, and at this time, he had no way to distinguish the truth of these two people's words, and after thinking for a long time, Li Shimin said: "King Wu is not dead, and now he is doing things for me in Jiangnan!" You should know this! โ
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the voice of crying and screaming grievances below was instantly extinguished, and the King of Shu looked at Concubine Yang with wide eyes, and Concubine Yang also looked at the King of Shu with a look of disbelief, and the two of them said in unison: "Erchen doesn't know!" "The concubine doesn't know!"
Li Shimin looked at the two of them and said, "King Wu is not dead, now you think about what I just said!" โ
The King of Shu lowered his head and his hands began to tremble, Concubine Yang also looked at the King of Shu speechless at this time, and now she knows that King Wu is not dead, and Concubine Yang doesn't know how to protect the King of Shu.
After a while, the trembling hand of the King of Shu finally stabilized, and he raised his head to look at Li Shimin and said: "Erchen is willing to leave Chang'an, but what Erchen wants to say is that Erchen has really not seen these things, and I hope that my father will not be deceived by traitors!" โ
