Li Chengqi blushed slightly, and was secretly surprised in his heart Gao Yanfu's eyes were like torches, and he could see through his intentions at a glance, Gao Yanfu looked at him, as if he knew the surprise in his heart, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised, Wu Sansi's impeachment of Lai Junchen caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and everyone is talking about it, so I can also guess your intentions." ”

"That's right, my father was very surprised, I don't know why Wu Sansi wanted to impeach Lai Junchen, is there a contradiction between them?"

"There must be a point in the contradiction, since Junchen's consistent style of exclusive benefits, Wu Sansi will not benefit from the matter of the Xingtang Society, of course he will be angry with Lai Junchen, it can also be said that they have a contradiction because of the uneven distribution of spoils, does your father see it this way?" Gao Yanfu said to Li Chengqi with a smile.

Li Chengqi nodded silently, "Don't hide it from Fujun, my father thinks so too, he said that Wu Sansi will never change his personality and be good, they are just dogs eat dogs, but my father wants to know, will Wu Sansi's impeachment have an effect?"

Gao Yanfu shook his head, "The Holy Lord has already rejected Wu Sansi's impeachment, and frankly speaking, no one can impeach Lai Junchen now." ”

"Could it be because of the Xingtang Society?" asked Li Chengqi worriedly.

Gao Yanfu nodded slowly, "It is indeed because of the matter of the Xingtang Society, the Holy Lord ordered Junchen to dig deep into this matter, it was when she relied on Junchen, how could she move Junchen, so Wu Sansi hit the wall and was angrily reprimanded by the Shengshang." ”

Li Chengqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Last night, we received a message from the flying pigeon that Yang Pei was assassinated in Chengdu. ”

"Who is it?" asked Gao Yanfu in surprise.

Li Chengqi shook his head, "I don't know who Yu is, he was shot at night, and it is said that the archery is very clever." ”

Both of them were silent for a long time, and Li Chengqi asked in a low voice, "Fu Jun, does Li Zhen have any news?"

"Do you suspect that Li Zhen shot him?" Gao Yanfu understood what he meant.

Li Chengqi smiled bitterly and said: "We thought that Li Zhen would follow his uncle into Beijing, but when we heard that he left suddenly when he was approaching the capital, I believe he must have received news from Yang Pei." ”

"He should have received orders from Shangguan Sheren, but there is no evidence that he shot Yang Pei, isn't it?"

Gao Yanfu's expression was very serious, he knew the consequences of shooting Yang Pei, if the Holy Lord knew that it was Li Zhen who shot Yang Pei, then Li Zhen would definitely die, so Gao Yanfu was by no means ambiguous on this issue.

Of course, Li Chengqi also understood, he hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, my father also said that there is no evidence, and I am not allowed to speculate, and no one has seen Li Zhen appear in Chengdu, maybe it was Wu Furong who did it, and it is said that Wu Furong was also intercepting Yang Pei that night." ”

Gao Yanfu just smiled and didn't say anything, Wu Furong was carrying out Princess Taiping's orders, and Li Dan and Princess Taiping had an extremely close relationship, if Wu Furong went to intercept Yang Pei, then this represented Li Dan's attitude, Gao Yanfu suspected that Li Dan also made a move.

At this time, Li Chengqi asked in a low voice: "Fu Jun, I don't know what the saint's attitude is towards my uncle?"

Li Chengqi's uncle is naturally Li Xian, the king of Luling, and Gao Yanfu suddenly realized that this is the real purpose of Li Dan to let his eldest son come to him.

Gao Yanfu looked at Li Chengqi silently, Li Chengqi's ears turned red, and he began to feel a little cramped, as if he had said something that he shouldn't have said and revealed his father's secret.

But this is his father's explanation to him, no matter how difficult it is to speak, he must ask, he hesitated for a moment and said: "If the prince is not good at answering, there is no need to say more, we can understand." ”

Gao Yanfu sighed slightly and said: "This is not a question whether I can answer or not, I really don't know, I guess even the saint himself doesn't know, now the Tang Dynasty is coming out of a turning point, the saint has relaxed the suppression of the Li royal family on the one hand, but he wants to pursue the Xingtang Society, and on the other hand, she exiled Wu Chenghei, but she wants to reuse Wu Sansi, this sensitive moment, I suggest that your father is better to live in seclusion and keep a low profile." ”

"The younger generation understands, and I will tell my father the golden and jade words of the king. ”

Li Chengqi gave a deep salute and took the first step to leave, but Gao Yanfu did not move, he stood in front of the window with his hands and stared into the distance for a long time, in fact, he also guessed that it must have been Li Zhen who shot Yang Pei, this must be what Li Xian meant, could it be that Li Zhen began to rely on Li Xian instead? Gao Yanfu felt an inexplicable worry in his heart.

Li Chengqi hurried back to the mansion, just arrived at the gate of the palace, but found that there was a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the gate, dozens of guards were waiting around the carriage, Li Chengqi recognized the carriage, this is the carriage of his aunt Princess Taiping, he hesitated in his heart, although his father asked him to go to the study immediately after coming back, but since his aunt came, is it to wait for her to go to see his father after she leaves.

As soon as he walked into the mansion, the housekeeper greeted him and whispered to him, "Your Highness, it's Princess Taiping who is here." ”

"I know, where is my father?"

"The prince is in the Guike Hall, and after the prince asks His Royal Highness to come back, he will go to see him immediately"

"Now?"

"Yes"

Li Chengqi thought about it, and it was better to go to see his father and aunt first, not to mention his meeting with Gao Yanfu, he walked quickly towards the guest hall.

In the guest hall, Li Dan was discussing something in a low voice with her sister Princess Taiping, who had several brothers, including Li Xian, the king of Luling, but relatively speaking, she had the closest relationship with her younger brother Li Dan since she was a child.

Princess Taiping has always supported Li Dan to ascend the throne as emperor, but after Li Dan was abolished as the emperor's heir, she also alienated her brother slightly, but during this time, her mother relaxed the restrictions on her brother, and she got closer to her brother again.

Today, Princess Taiping also came to her brother for Wu Sansi's impeachment of Lai Junchen, which shocked the government and the public, and Princess Taiping was no exception.

Princess Taiping took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I know Wu Sansi very well, when he came to Junchen to investigate the Xingtang Society, he would never really impeach Lai Junchen, he just made a gesture and told the world that he did not form an alliance with Lai Junchen, and the matter of the Xingtang Society had nothing to do with him Wu Sansi, so that even if something happened to the Xingtang Society, he would not be hated by Li Tang's supporters." ”

"How did this Wu Sansi become smarter?" Li Dan sneered disdainfully.

"How can he have this kind of political wisdom, it is that there are high-ranking people around him, it should be Mr. Ming's attention, that person is a bit of a brain, and he is very good at weighing the pros and cons. ”

"Perhaps, but do you think Lai Junchen can really dig up the secret of the Xingtang Society?" Li Dan asked with some concern.

"But the elder brother told Lai Junchen about the Xingtang Society, why is the elder brother worried again now?" Princess Taiping asked with a smile.

Princess Taiping said this very frankly, which made Li Dan's face a little unbearable, and he was also surprised in his heart, the matter of him sending people to Fangzhou was very secretive, only he and his eldest son Li Chengqi knew, how could she know?

But Princess Taiping didn't seem to be tempting, but confident, it seemed that she had definite evidence, Li Dan could no longer deny it, he smiled awkwardly, "At this time and that time, I also hope that he will find out the secrets of the Xingtang Society, but I don't want him to really find out the secrets of the Xingtang Society, there is a fundamental difference between the two." ”

"I can understand"

Princess Taiping smiled lightly: "After all, there is only one throne, brother-"

Li Dan coughed heavily, interrupting her increasingly explicit words, and diverted the topic: "Little sister should know that Yang Pei has been assassinated."

"I heard about it, in fact, I also came to my brother for this matter, it should be my brother's hand."

"No" Li Dan shook his head, "I don't deny that I also sent someone to plan to kidnap Yang Pei, but the person who killed Yang Pei in the end was not my person, but someone else." ”

"Who do you think it will be?"

Li Dan pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, his eldest son Li Chengqi had already appeared in the hall, bowed down and saluted: "Father, the child is back." ”

"Just in time, your aunt is here. ”

Li Chengqi walked quickly to the lobby and saluted his aunt, Princess Taiping, "My nephew will see my aunt."

"Dalang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and asked Li Dan again: "What about San Lang, why didn't you see him?"

"He seems to have gone out to practice playing polo, and he worshipped a new polo master, who is also a clan, Li Bu, the grandson of King Wu. ”

"It turned out to be him, he played really good polo, it seems that Saburo wants to play in a polo match. ”

The two laughed a few words, and Li Dan asked Li Chengqi again: "What news did Gao Fujun tell you?"

Li Chengqi hesitated, and secretly glanced at his aunt, Princess Taiping's eyes were so sharp, she immediately saw through his thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Although Da Lang said bluntly, your father will not hide anything from me." ”

Li Dan also smiled faintly: "Say it"

Li Chengqi was helpless, so he had to bow down and say: "The child first asked Wu Sansi about the impeachment of Lai Junchen. ”

"What did Gao Fujun say?" Princess Taiping asked with great interest.

He said that the holy general Wu Sansi reprimanded him fiercely, and made Wu Sansi withdraw the impeachment, and the saint said that it was the time to employ people, so that Wu Sansi would not cause her trouble.

Li Dan's brother and sister glanced at each other, both of them showed a look of worry in their eyes, they both understood their mother's deep meaning, it seemed that she really wanted to track down the matter of the Xingtang Society, so she valued Junchen so much.

Li Chengqi continued: "Gao Fujun also said that Wu Sansi's impeachment of Lai Junchen was not sincere, but in order to sell his reputation and buy the hearts of the clansmen. ”

This reason was expected by Princess Taiping, she sneered, and said: "In addition, I am afraid there is another reason, that is, the two of them have internal strife, it is very likely that Lai Junchen did not abide by the covenant and violated Wu Sansi's interests, otherwise Wu Sansi would not have been so out of shape." ”

"What else did Gao Fujun say. ”

Li Dan paused and asked, "I mean, who is the real murderer about Yang Pei's assassination?"

Li Chengqi's heart suddenly let go, it seems that his father is not stupid, he still lets himself have reservations, his father is hinting at himself, only say the things he asks, don't say the things he doesn't ask, such as about Li Xian.

Li Chengqi said with a smile: "Back to my father and aunt, the child also asked about it, Gao Fujun said that he didn't know anything, and the child tried to see if it was Li Zhen, but Gao Fujun warned the child, don't talk nonsense if there is no evidence, I can see that he is a little unhappy." ”

Li Dan smiled, "It's understandable, he still protects Li Zhen very much, and knows that the consequences of shooting Yang Pei are very serious." ”

Li Dan didn't ask any more, waved his hand and smiled: "You stand down first, I'll ask you again if there's anything." ”

"Yes"

Li Chengqi lowered his hand and slowly retreated, Princess Taiping felt a little uncomfortable, Li Chengqi obviously had unfinished words, but the elder brother didn't want to say more, but she could also understand, if she hadn't secretly gotten the news, how would she know that the elder brother had also sent someone to Fangzhou? At least the elder brother would never tell himself.

Thinking of this, Princess Taiping didn't want to ask anything more, so she smiled and said, "Has my brother ever thought about using Li Zhen's shooting of Yang Pei to attack Shangguan Wan'er?"

Li Dan shook his head, "Li Zhen is kind to me, I don't want to make a fuss about this matter." ”

He glanced at Princess Taiping vigilantly again, "Could it be that you are going to-"

Princess Taiping also laughed, "Actually, I have long known that Li Zhen is not willing to be that woman's lackey, and I can see from this incident that he is already paving another way for his future."

This is a good thing, which means that one day he will be used by me, so I will not use this to embarrass him, on the contrary, I will help him. ”
