Chapter Eighty-Nine: Five Days Later
Li Su didn't know why the concubine was so clever, as if she had communicated in advance, and immediately thought of the best reason, but she didn't enter the palace for more than a month since she came back, could it be that the third brother and the concubine said it?
Li Su didn't have time to think about it, so he heard Li Shimin say: "Even so, it is not right for the King of Shu to return to Chang'an privately, but if you think of your filial piety, I will not punish you!" โ
Li Su just wanted to thank him, he heard that Xiangxin walked in with someone, Li Su naturally didn't know Xiangxin, this month back in Chang'an City, Li Su knew what it meant to be low-key, although he heard that there was a strategist named Xiangxin by the prince's side, but he had never seen this person.
Under the leadership of Li Junxian, Chengxin and Cheng Chumo walked in generously, seeing Li Shimin sitting in front of the hall, Chengxin took Cheng Chumo to kneel down obediently and salute: "Participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." โ
Li Shimin glanced at Chengxin and Cheng Chumo, and said a little helplessly: "Get up, the prince ordered you two to come?" โ
Chengxin and Cheng Chumo stood up and looked at Li Shimin, and also saw Concubine Yang and Li Su on the side, although Chengxin didn't know the two of them, they could roughly guess it.
Hearing Li Shimin's question, he immediately responded: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated in the morning, fortunately, there was no major incident, and he was not caught at this moment, and the Gongyuan side is also inseparable from His Royal Highness the Prince, but when he heard that His Royal Highness King Wu was assassinated, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also very worried, and ordered Weichen to bring two hundred elite soldiers to help, and he will definitely arrest these thieves!" โ
Li Shimin waved his hand, looked at King Wu who was covered with a white cloth on the side and said with some sighs: "No need, what's the use of the two hundred people you brought, this huge Chang'an City has been sealed by my soldiers, and there is no trace of the assassin, I think I should have run away!" โ
Satisfied obediently stepped aside, looked at Li Junxian on the side, and said, "Commander Li knows who the assassin is!" Is it a batch of people who assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning? โ
Li Junxian looked at Li Shimin on the side, and when he saw that he didn't make a sound, he replied: "The little guy in King Wu's Mansion said that it was a Turk, and he also said that he was assassinated in the early morning, as for whether it was a group of people, it is still difficult to say, the group of people who assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning did not leave any obvious mark!" โ
After a pause, Li Junxian continued: "Chang'an City was sealed after the assassination of the prince, if the two groups of people are a group of people, and what the little guy in Wu Wangfu said is also true, then this group of Turks should still be in Chang'an at this time, I believe it won't be long before there will be news!" โ
Satisfied, nodded and looked at Li Junxian on the side, and said, "I hope it's a group of people, otherwise these two things will be much more complicated!" โ
Li Junxian nodded quietly, in fact, his pressure is the greatest, the eyes and ears of Li Shimin, the two princes were assassinated in one day, and he was still alive and sound at this time, because Li Shimin had too few available manpower at this time.
Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji, Li Tao and other famous generals are all heroes on the battlefield, but when it comes to playing conspiracy, these people may not be able to play those concubines in the harem!
Li Shimin intends to let Li Chengqian take over the establishment of the Hundred Cavalry, first, he believes that Li Chengqian is the successor, and second, Li Chengqian's foundation is clean; although Li Chengqian has no edges and corners in the past few years, he has not disclosed anything about his treatment of people and things, and he is just living a little bit of a nest.
But what Li Shimin values is Li Chengqian's forbearance, even if there are many doubts, even if he is pointed out by thousands of people, as long as he doesn't speak, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin squinted at the heart, the origin of the heart Li Shimin has also investigated, although it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but the amnesia is a time bomb, although Li Tao is a guarantor for him, but in case Li Shimin still keeps a hand in symmetry.
Seeing the deep affection between mother and son on the side, the peerless emperor on the side continued to ask: "Commander Li, I wonder if there are other people in this Wu Mansion besides His Royal Highness King Wu?" โ
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but then replied: "Wu Wangfu has already counted the roster, except for a small servant who disappeared seven days ago, no one else was injured or missing. โ
Chengxin was a little puzzled, could it be that King Wu was really a golden cicada out of his shell, why is this, is there something more important than winning the heir? looked at Li Junxian with a little doubt and said, "Do you say it's possible, that ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
Li Junxian naturally understood what it meant to be satisfied, and after looking at Li Shimin on the side, he shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, the missing little guy has also been found, in the dry well in the backyard, I don't know what mistakes have been made, and my body is rotten and not presentable!" โ
Satisfied looked at the sky, although it was not very cold, but it was unlikely that it would rot in seven days, and then asked tentatively: "Seven days?" Rotten? โ
Li Junxian nodded and didn't say more, maybe it was because of King Wu's privacy, or maybe there were other hidden secrets, anyway, Li Junxian didn't want to say more about it at this time.
Satisfied with the heart came and went in a hurry, went out and returned to the Gongyuan with Xie Ziwen, Cheng Chumo and others, but Li Su stayed naturally, as if he had been in Chang'an City all along.
The civil and military officials also tacitly did not mention why Li You appeared in Chang'an, but raised many questions about Li You's appearance in Chang'an City, especially the Wei Wang faction, these people seemed to be mad dogs, biting Li You and not letting go.
Li You was pressed to Dali Temple to await trial, no matter how he argued, Li Shimin did not pay attention, but the King of Wei was very low-key during this time, although the officials of the Wei Wang's faction have been firing frantically in the court, but the King of Wei himself did take leave for several days in a row, saying that the "Kuodi Chronicles" he was revising was in the key part and could not be separated from people.
This kind of weak-hearted performance naturally cannot escape the eyes of the ministers of the court, but the king of Wu has just died, the prince is low-key and refuses to take the lead, the king of Shu can't even come to the early dynasty, and these old departments of the king of Wu want to lead the king of Dao Wei to get angry.
Five days have passed in a blink of an eye about the imperial examination and the assassination of the crown prince and the assassination of King Wu, and at this time, the imperial examination has already ended.
Some people are happy and some are worried, those scholars who have no ability are naturally worried, and the gold lord behind these scholars who have no ability is naturally also worried, not enough King Wu does not need to worry about this at this time, and now the most worried is King Wei.
In the palace of King Wei, Li Taizheng pointed at his adviser and scolded: "How could I believe you pigs, who are you looking for, how can anyone still not finish answering the question, yes, it is the one named Xu Dong, three days, you can write the test paper blindly for three days!" โ
The strategist also felt that his face was gloomy, and he lowered his head and said: "King Wei is angry, I asked Xu Dong, he said that he felt more confident after reading the miscellaneous test questions, and he wrote the miscellaneous part first, and then forgot the time, resulting in the time for the main part of the question, this person is really high-quality!" โ
King Wei only felt a fire burning in his heart, remembering that yesterday he saw those scholars talking about their own solutions in front of him, and there was no one who could really understand the meaning of the question, which really surprised King Wei, especially when he asked Xu Dong, he even said that he didn't finish answering the question.
King Wei pointed to the strategist's nose and said, "Drive away all these wastes, let them leave quickly, I don't want to see them again!" โ
The strategist was a little embarrassed, but he still said cautiously: "The list will be released in a few days, or we will wait!" โ
King Wei picked up the teacup beside him and slammed it on the ground, pointed to the door behind the strategist: "Get out, if you let me know that they are still spending my money, you can pay for them out of your own pocket!" โ
The strategist naturally didn't dare to say more, and left obediently, and he also had a grudge against those few scholars who were not angry, after all, he was deflated by King Wei, and he had to get it back in the hands of others.
Several scholars in the inn were a little panicked after being dismissed by the strategists, after all, what King Wei said before was really good, but the sudden change in this matter at this moment caught them a little off guard.
Chang'an City, which had been sealed for three days, was reopened two days ago, and the assassins who assassinated the crown prince and the king of Wu were still not found, but Li Shimin ordered a thorough investigation into the matter, and he should not give up.
