Li Jing frowned and said, "Where did the assassin come from?" ”

Liu Jiangsheng suddenly showed a look of worry and said, "This ...... These assassins all spoke with Jiangnan accents, and they were extremely decisive. The Governor was injured in the chest and abdomen, and the arrow entered the body three inches, but fortunately, the medical officer treated him in time and saved his life. Although he is gradually recovering, he still can't get out of bed and walk. ”

"Gangnam accent?" Li Jing was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Didn't the assassin leave him alive?" It is really hateful to dare to assassinate the envoy of a town! ”

Liu Jiangsheng replied in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, and it was related to the life of the Grand Duke. But ......"

"But what?" Seeing Liu Jiangsheng's embarrassed face, Li Jing was slightly dissatisfied, and said with a firm gaze: "If you have something to say, you are not allowed to hide anything from me." ”

"Alas, before leaving, most of the governors instructed the last general not to inform Feng Xiang and His Majesty of this matter, for fear of causing unhappiness to His Majesty and Feng Xiang. But His Majesty is in charge, and the general will have to tell the truth. ”

"This is from the assassin's body......" Liu Jiangsheng said as he took out a bloodstained silk book, crumpled it in his palm, and hesitated for a moment before presenting it with both hands.

Li Jing didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but subconsciously leaned back, and then beckoned Young Eunuch Liu to step forward: "Take it for me, see what is written on it." ”

"The old slave obeys." Young Eunuch Liu hurriedly stepped forward, carefully took the bloodstained silk book, spread it out lightly and quickly glanced at it, only to see a look of surprise on the old face that was white and red, and taught Li Jing and Empress Zhong couldn't help frowning.

"Young eunuch, what is written on it?"

Young Eunuch Liu bowed down, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this ...... The old slave didn't dare to say it. ”

"I want you to speak up." Li Jing couldn't hold it anymore and was slightly angry.

Young Eunuch Liu took a deep breath and said with a little panic: "Your Majesty, the content here should be written by the envoy of the master of the assassination of Li Yuan, but it may involve important officials of the imperial court......

"Who?" Li Jing straightened up vigilantly.

Liu Shaojian hurriedly got closer, and spread out the silk book on the stone eucalyptus in front of Li Jing, Li Jing raised his eyes to see, only to see that the silk book was a little broken, and some of the fonts were also missing, which should be caused by blood stains, but the sentences were barely smooth, and the content was almost the same as Liu Shaojian's words, probably the time and place of Li Yuan's assassination, but there was an extremely dazzling sentence at the end.

Li Jing thought to himself, and said suspiciously: "'Don't live up to the grace of the Ministry of Industry', what does this mean?" How can this matter be related to the officials of the Ministry of Works? ”

Liu Jiangsheng hurriedly said: "This last general doesn't know. ”

There was a brief silence on the pavilion, and Li Jing was closing his eyes and thinking, but he didn't know that the queen Zhong beside him was already clear. There may be no one else in this harem who can be more sensitive to the word "Ministry of Industry" than Zhong. The name of the waiter in the Ministry of Works is Zhang Yi, who is the eldest brother of Zhang Guifei and the cousin of the Feng family's brothers.

"Your Majesty, do you want someone to inquire about the officials of the Ministry of Works?" Zhong suddenly said cautiously.

Li Jing shook his head decisively, waved his hand and said, "No, the content of this silk book is not known to be authentic, how can it be easily moved?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general has something to say!" Liu Jiangsheng arched his hand and said loudly.

"Exactly."

Liu Jiangsheng immediately said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that the governor of the old year asked for an order to return to Chuzhou Province?" At that time, the last general also followed, but happened to run into a large eucalyptus in Chuzhou, which was involved in the trafficking of illicit salt......"

After babbling about the ins and outs of Chuzhou's private salt at that time, Liu Jiangsheng finally revealed the most critical information: "...... Ma Liu, the bandit leader who harmed one side, was so rampant, and even said in front of the court that they were all instructed by Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, and He Assassin Shi was also an accomplice! But at that time, the governor of Dadu had just entered the imperial court, and he was a general of the forbidden army, after all, it was a local affair, how could he dare to investigate it deeply, and he hurried back to Beijing after the end of the case...... Perhaps since then, the Grand Governor has offended He Tingshi and Zhang Shilang—"

"Nonsense!" Li Jing suddenly thundered and was furious, and he slammed into the ground, so startled that Liu Jiangsheng hurriedly leaned down and didn't dare to say more.

"Your Majesty is angry! Don't be angry! Zhong hurriedly stretched out his hand to soothe Li Jing's undulating chest, and then his eyes wandered, and after looking at Liu Shaojian for a while, he didn't forget to remind him: "Your Majesty, the court's affairs and concubines don't understand, but the Zhang Shilang and the concubines of the Ministry of Industry have some impressions." ”

His queen suddenly interjected, Li Jing was a little caught off guard, and after exhaling a sullen breath, he wondered: "How can the queen recognize it?" Let's talk about it. ”

The Zhong family hurriedly got up and gave a blessing, pretending to be ignorant, and the willow eyebrows frowned lightly: "This, the concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she can't say that she knows it." Has Your Majesty forgotten? Zhang Shilang is the elder brother of the concubine's sister and Feng Xiang's cousin, so he often enters the palace to visit the concubine's sister, and the concubine naturally meets him once or twice......"

As soon as he was reminded, Li Jing suddenly reacted, no wonder Liu Jiangsheng mentioned that Li Yuan ordered him not to tell himself and Feng Yanji about this matter, and Li Jing was still puzzled, what is the relationship between this matter and Feng Yanji, which is a bit bright.

"Okay, you Feng Yanji!" Li Jing clenched his teeth, and his heart was filled with extremely complicated emotions, over the years, Feng Yanji has relied on his favor and trust, and has done a lot of nonsense, and Li Jing can pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to know, not because of how generous and benevolent he is, but because Feng Yanji's bad deeds are only slightly flaws in Li Jing's eyes, but today's persecution of heroes has obviously exceeded Li Jing's bottom line.

The important members of the imperial court participated in the trafficking of illicit salt for profit, but it was not the focus of Li Jing's attention at all, and it was estimated that the third division deliberately concealed the illegal salt in Chuzhou, so he naturally never even heard of it, and even if he heard it now, he didn't care about it, the emperor had such an attitude, no wonder the people below dared to act boldly.

It is true that this is a major crime strictly prohibited by the law of the country, but in the past dynasties, is it rare to use power to seek huge profits? After the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many important ministers flocked to this, and even the royal family was happy to do it.

Speaking of this, I have to mention an embarrassing and obscure old past, even the adoptive father of the martyr ancestor Li Yu, Xu Wen, who was respected as the righteous ancestor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, started by trafficking in illicit salt, and used the money to raise Li Yu to grow up, according to the record in the "Jiang Biaozhi", how many royal children in the Southern Tang Dynasty talked about selling illicit salt, and often shamelessly mentioned the glorious deeds of the righteous ancestor in the past, as a tradition......

At this time, Li Jing's thousands of threads were already flying, and he couldn't help but connect with the various signs that happened in the court today.

If this silk book is true, that is, the "Ministry of Industry" written above, if Zhang Yizhen, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, participated in the assassination of Li Yuan, and Liu Jiangsheng said, Zhang Yi has something to do with He Jingzhu, then as Zhang Yi's cousin, Feng Yanji and others today advocate the proposal of He Jingzhu of the Wuchang Army to be stationed in Yuezhou, could it be that they colluded to persecute Li Yuan?

Then again, who is Li Yuan? Mu Yong is undoubtedly a famous general in the world who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, the youngest festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, who has just won a big victory, and is seriously injured but still cares about serving the country, at this time he seems to be a perfect courtier.

But if you really want to infer in this direction, then I am afraid that the matter of Li Yuan's rebellion is also the design of Feng Yanji and others, and what is the matter with Liu Renzhan's confession? Could it be that even the Liu family, who has been loyal for generations, participated in the framing and persecution of Li Yuan?

After the confusion of his mind, Li Jing instantly fell into a deep psychological contradiction, after stringing these details together, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, under his nose, it seemed that he was planning a very sinister game of chess, and he, a natural chess player, was painted into a chess piece this time, and this misguided feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Even if Li Jing was jealous of Li Yuan, how to deal with his own courtiers, that was his prerogative as an emperor, how could he allow others to set up a situation and frame him? What's more, if Li Yuanru really didn't have the heart to rebel, this sword that won a hundred battles was used very easily, and it was just a little check and balance, how could Li Jing give it up easily?

At this moment, in addition to the extreme dissatisfaction with Feng Yanji and others, Li Jing was even more anxious, he had already ordered to send troops to investigate Li Yuan earlier, and as soon as the emperor Chrysostom was opened, how could he easily take it back? It's a bit tricky......

Li Jing thought for a moment, then suddenly beckoned to Young Eunuch Liu, and said in a low voice: "Young Eunuch, quickly summon all the officials of the Ministry of Officials to enter the palace, and I want to check who the handwriting on it comes from." ”

Young Eunuch Liu was puzzled: "Your Majesty, there are no less than tens of thousands of officials all over the country, and there are countless official documents sent in and out, and I don't know how much time it will take to compare the handwriting from them......

"Are you painted on the lake?" Li Jing couldn't help but get angry, and then said in a deep voice: "Compare He Jingzhu's handwriting first!" ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"The old slave obeys!"

Don't look at Liu Shaojian's age, there is a slight sentence on his back, but if he really wants to walk quickly, it is the wind under his feet, at this time in the pavilion, Li Jing is silently under the comfort of Queen Zhong, and Liu Jiangsheng straightened his waist and sat aside, seemingly expressionless, but he was extremely worried in his heart, and said secretly, Mr. Xu, this time it will depend on you......
