Chapter 187: There is a black hand behind the scenes
Chang'an, busy and prosperous!
In a wine shop in Anle Fang, silk and bamboo linger here, orchids dance, and from time to time there are shouts of drinkers from below, so lively.
"Did you hear, there seemed to be an assassin in the palace yesterday!"
"Assassins? The palace is heavily guarded, how can there be assassins? Could it be that you heard the rumors from somewhere? ”
"Not this time, this time I heard from the person next door to me, and you know, there is a Jin Wuwei sitting next to me, and it is said that this matter is spread from the palace."
"Then who was stabbed, could it be the saint?"
"Snort, what are you doing stabbing the saints, the saints are all in the harem now."
"Who the hell got stabbed then?"
"Who do you say is the most powerful in our Datang now?"
"Who's the most powerful? Could it be His Royal Highness the former King of Qin and the current crown prince? Could it be that the crown prince was stabbed? ”
"Well, it seems that you still have a bit of understanding, but I didn't expect you to guess it. Yes, it was indeed the former King of Qin who was assassinated, and the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"What, this thing turned out to be true, who dared to be so bold, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to assassinate, is it not fatal?"
"Don't die? Hehe, dare to assassinate His Royal Highness the current Crown Prince, do you think it will be an ordinary person? What's more, I heard that there is something strange in this assassination, whether it is a person entering the palace to assassinate, it is really hard to say! ”
"Brother Wang, don't you want to accuse me of not succeeding, I'm not a human, are you still a ghost?"
"Hehe, who knows? Come, come, drink, drink! ”
"No, Brother Wang, you don't say anything halfway through this, this is to make me unable to eat, say it quickly, say it quickly!"
"Oh, this wine is a little bad today, could it be that this wine shop can't be mixed with water?"
"Okay, okay, I see! Little Er, bring over a jug of your best wine! ”
"Eh, a pot of fine green wine, here!" Hearing someone calling, the shopkeeper on the side heard it, and immediately trotted to the counter and took out a pot of wine from it.
"Come, Brother Wang, what do you think of this pot of wine?"
"Ah, yes, good wine!"
"How is it, Brother Wang, can you speak now?"
"Okay, then I'll say it, but quietly, I'll tell you about this, don't spread it around, otherwise you'll be killed."
"Understood, understood, my Han someone's mouth is the strictest."
"I heard that the assassination that happened in the palace yesterday was very strange, King Qin, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is said not to have been assassinated yesterday, but had already been assassinated once the night before yesterday."
"What, this assassin is too desperate, he couldn't assassinate him once the night before yesterday, and he continued to assassinate yesterday, didn't he eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall?"
"Hey, Brother Han, that's not what so-and-so said. Do you know, according to my brother, the reason why these two assassinations are said to be stilted is because whether it was the night before or yesterday, the assassination took place in the room of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only had the doors and windows closed, but also more than a dozen eunuchs and Qianniu guards around him. ”
"Hey, I thought what did you say, Brother Wang, such a mysterious and mysterious thing happened in the room, could it be that it was a woman who assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince? Otherwise, who can enter His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's room? ”
"If only it were that simple." The middle-aged man surnamed Wang took a sip of wine, and then said in a low voice, "But Guan Jian is, it is said that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stabbed twice, there was only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the room, and what was even more strange was that those eunuchs and Qianniu Wei who were guarding outside actually fainted unconsciously. ”
"How is it possible, Brother Wang, aren't you joking, the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qianniuwei, even in the palace, how can there be dozens of people, all of them fainted unconsciously, could it be that they were knocked unconscious at the same time? No, if you are knocked unconscious, it is impossible to be unconscious, is it because you have been smoking, sweating medicine or something? ”
"Brother Han is really joking, smoke? Meng's sweat medicine is just a small trick in the rivers and lakes, how can it really bring down dozens of people? ”
"Then what did Brother Wang say?"
"I don't know what Wang is, if he knows, then Wang can go to the yamen to get a good job. However, it seems that someone heard that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a coma yesterday, he had called the names of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji......"
"Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji...... This, isn't this the name of the previous crown prince and the king of Qi? These two men were not ...... when they rebelled half a month ago"
"Yes, the previous Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Qi have died in the rebellion for half a month, and it is said that the heads of these two people were cut off by order of the current Royal Highness the Prince! These three are all brothers of the same mother, tsk, this thing......"
"This ...... What does Brother Wang mean, could this be a ghost? ”
"Who knows? However, it is said that yesterday in the palace, the monks near Chang'an and the great masters of the Taishi Bureau were ordered to enter the palace. ”
"Haha, okay, okay, don't talk about this anymore, otherwise it's taboo, come, Brother Han, drink, thank you Brother Han for your generous hospitality!"
After laughing, the two talked about other things in Chang'an, but they didn't expect that the conversation that the two thought was hidden had already been heard by a young man in a white robe on the side.
Moreover, the young man also knew that not only this table, but also on the second floor above this wine shop, there were three tables of people who had talked about the assassination of the prince and the ghosts they had just talked about.
The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!
If it is just an ordinary thing, it is naturally possible to be lost to everyone, but this matter is related to the country, and it is also the crown prince Li Shimin, who has been in the limelight recently, and most importantly, this matter is also related to the palace change half a month ago.
Although Li Shimin had been trying his best to conceal what happened yesterday the day before yesterday, but at noon yesterday, after discovering that all the guards guarding Li Shimin had fainted, the ministers next to him directly dropped thousands of thousands of Qianniu guards, and then found Li Shimin, who was seriously injured, and some of the words he had shouted in a coma.
Thousands of Niu Wei, thousands of mouths, even if Du Ruhui and the others immediately ordered that no one should talk nonsense, but how could they really keep these secrets?
You must know that although the status of these Qianniuwei is not high, many of them are the descendants of the nobles of the family, and with only an order from Du Ruhui, how can they really let them keep this secret?
However, this matter was spread so quickly, and it spread so quickly, it seemed to be known to the whole Chang'an all of a sudden, which made Li Chengming seem to feel that this matter might not be as simple as he thought.
It seems that there is a mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise it would not have been possible for this matter to spread so quickly.
So, who will be behind this?
Li Chengming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looked up at the pedestrians on the street not far below, and his eyes couldn't help but sink slightly......
