Chapter XXIV: Supervision by Order

"Poisoning, the conclusion reported by Dali Temple turned out to be that a group of mages had erysipelas."

"A Buddhist monk was actually killed by Daomen erysipelas, this conclusion is really interesting."

"Did the people of the Daomen poison the Buddhist monks, or did the Buddhist monks themselves privately open the furnace for alchemy?"

In the Qianyang Palace, Wu Zetian, who was sitting behind the pearl curtain, smiled coldly, and stared at Li Xuan with a pair of sharp eyes: "King Nanchang, you came to tell the palace, did the great monks really die of poisoning, did they really die of erysipelas?" ”

Li Xuan bowed slightly, his face was not too ugly, because the report of Dali Temple was originally discussed by him with those uncles and uncles of the Daomen.

He replied as honestly as he could: "The queen of heaven, there is no doubt that a master will be poisoned and die, but it is not necessarily erysipelas, and many medicinal herb creatures also have this effect."

Chen heard that in the Western Regions, there is a legend that there is a kind of scarab beetle, their saliva has a terrifying poison to the extreme, even after infinite dilution, this saliva also has a very strong lethality, as long as a little contact with the skin, then the skin will soon burn violently.

However, the scarab beetle's saliva can only kill people from the outside in, and now the master of the line is self-immolating from the inside out, otherwise the minister can be directly determined. ”

"It seems that Wei Xuanzang has not taught you for a few years in vain." Wu Zetian's expression eased a lot, his body leaned back slightly, and then he said softly: "Your thoughts are understood by this palace, and it is nothing more than to draw the focus to the battle of Buddhism and Taoism. Regardless of whether it was the people of the Taoist Sect who poisoned the Buddhist monks, or the Buddhist monks who secretly opened the furnace for alchemy, the outside world will not pay attention to Hong'er's body, so in this way, this palace still has to thank you. ”

"I don't dare." Li Xuan immediately fell to the ground, even if he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't let this matter involve the prince's death.

For the vast majority of people, finding out the truth of the matter is the first priority.

However, for the real executives, controlling the influence of the case comes first, especially at this sensitive time.

The prince was newly mourned, and he chanted and prayed for him to be a great monk in the water and land dojo, and suddenly died inexplicably, and he died of self-immolation inexplicably.

Could it be that the heavens are revealing that the cause of the prince's death is suspicious?

These days, Luoyang, and even Xijing Chang'an, have strengthened their curfews, but under the manipulation of well-intentioned people, rumors are still spreading.

Not to mention those foolish people and foolish women, even some officials in the court are also convinced of this, and even the clan has been set up.

But for Emperor Li Zhi and Diva Wu Cao, it wasn't that difficult.

It just depends on when they plan to go on a killing spree.

Although Wu Cao is still quietly handling government affairs these days, how many people can see the pain in her heart.

There is also Emperor Li Zhi, when he met Li Xuan before, although Li Zhi was gentle and kind, the pain hidden in his heart was as obvious as a flame in the dark.

No matter how the crown prince Li Hong is, he is also the son they have raised for twenty-three years.

People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless.

The poisoning case of Buddhist monks that suddenly appeared at the moment shows that those people in the dark have always refused to give up!

Everything will inevitably touch the deepest murderous machine in their hearts, and if anyone rushes up at this time to touch the mold, I am afraid that they will not know how to die.

Li Xuan fell to the ground deeply, after all, he is a member of the royal family, and he has the inherent responsibility and obligation to cover up for the royal family and avoid the situation from deteriorating.

And everyone knows that this is definitely not for the Daomen, but it is also good for the Daomen to be blackened for the royal family.

"This case still needs to be seriously investigated, find out the truth of the matter, tomorrow, King Han, King Huo, King Zhuang, King Shu, King Lu, King Jiang, King Mi, King Teng, all the uncles will enter the Shendu and tell Dai Xing that his time is running out."

"Tomorrow?" Li Xuan was shocked, the time for the kings of the clan to enter the divine capital was much earlier than he expected.

This is no coincidence.

Some people are making trouble at this time, I am afraid that they want to borrow the power of the kings.

It's too obvious.

Today's Li Tang clan, when it comes to the right to speak, these clan princes have the most important right to speak, because they are the uncles of the emperor Li Zhi of the current dynasty.

Although it is said that the kings of the clan do not have much military power in their hands, they have more power to speak in clan affairs.

Others, such as the Hejian King and Huai'an Jing Wang, although they have a lot of military power in their hands, but in clan affairs, they are more involved in remote clan children, and they can't speak on matters related to the secret of the prince's life and death.

It is true that some people want to promote the abolition of the queen again, but the kings of the clan, do you have the courage to do this?

"Why are you uncles so nonsense?" Li Xuan frowned deadly, don't these people know the wind and rain in Luoyang now?

Or is it that within them, someone is pushing them in this direction?

Who is it?

"King Nanchang, you don't have to meet them tomorrow, you urge Shaoqing of Dali Temple to solve this case as soon as possible. Remember what this palace said, it's to find out the real truth, don't fool yourself, okay, you step down. Wu Zetian waved his hand, Li Xuan quickly got up, and withdrew from the Qianyang Hall with a helpless face.

"The king of Nanchang looks quite old, and his youthful spirit has not diminished." Ming Chongyan stood beside Empress Wu and looked at Li Xuan's back with interest.

"Don't make up your mind, Wei Xuanzang's apprentice is not so easy to grab."

Wu Zetian saw Ming Chongyan's plan at a glance, and then sighed and said: "Over the years, one of his young sons has been raised by a widowed mother, and his requirements are very strict...... Since he is willing to do anything, and he has the ability to do anything, this palace will give him a chance to perform first. ”

Shaking his head, Wu Zetian continued to speak: "The origin of the mage line, if it is seen by someone with a heart, it makes sense to attack him. ”

Ming Chongyan suddenly closed his mouth at this time, and didn't spit out a word.

Because he knows that if he says one more word at this time, it will be tantamount to filling his life into it.

"Secretly check, what is the current situation of those people on the reserve list before? I don't want to wait until the time I need to hire people and find out a bunch of dead people,"

"The minister will do it immediately." Ming Chongyan slowly retreated.

Behind the murder now, there are many hidden secrets.

……

Walking in the imperial city, there are fast-moving bureaucrats at all levels on both sides, everyone is busy, only the guards on duty stand silently.

The entries above her head flickered from time to time, but Li Xuan's attention was not on it at all.

Li Xuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the Qianyang Palace, his eyes were full of helplessness.

In fact, at this time, for the entire royal family, what is most needed is stability.

The crown prince Li Hong has just passed away, to be precise, it has only been a few days after the second seventh.

For all the royal family, including the emperor and queen, the most important thing to do now is to bury the prince peacefully.

Inside and outside the court, there are quarrels every day, and what should be done with which procedure.

The prince of a country like this died before the emperor in advance, and it was the first time since he had seen it in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan now hopes that the entire funeral can pass peacefully, and as for the rest, you can check it secretly.

But now, Empress Wu's thoughts are not like this, she wants to lift this lid and vent her murderous spirit well.

Some people even want to make a fuss about all aspects of the prince's funeral, and even try to use the hands of the kings of the clan to abolish the post-abolition.

Li Xuan has to admit that now that the abolition is indeed the best time since the Shangguanyi incident.

Now it depends on what the kings of the clan will do, and I am afraid that those people will also think that now is a good opportunity.

Moreover, if there is a problem with the death of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the anger of the kings of the clan is not vented, then no one in the whole world will take them seriously.

They were put up in a dilemma.

"If you are not careful, the tragedy of Shangguan Yi will be repeated again, and countless blood will flow out of the sect's body endlessly......"
