Chapter 148: Misfortune Leads to the East
Emperor Qianwu was so angry in his heart!
Jiuzi obviously has a talent, why doesn't he want to show it in the capital, and he has to go to the border wasteland like Baishi City?
He also had huge expectations for Li Changfeng, and racked his brains in order to make Li Changfeng progressive, but he never thought that it would be like this for so long.
Emperor Qianwu did guess Li Changfeng's thoughts, but how could he admit it?
He had already thought of his words, and said with a grief-stricken face: "Father, how can you say that about your son?" Now that Erchen is making money in the capital, how can he be willing to go back easily? Erchen is so wronged! ”
Emperor Qianwu snorted coldly and said, "Tell me, how I wronged you!" ”
Li Changfeng sighed and said, "Father, have you forgotten that the old scientific research institute is in White Rock City?" Forgot that there are factories for artillery and gunpowder in White Rock City? Who can be sure that all the spies in White Rock City have been caught? What if they get the secret to the barbarians? What if this matter is not handled well, and the Manchus send troops to grab artillery gunpowder? ”
Every time Li Changfeng asked, Emperor Qianwu's expression changed slightly, and finally he couldn't help but become nervous.
Artillery and gunpowder are too important to him, and what Li Changfeng said is not impossible, so he can't help but be nervous.
"I have wronged you! White Rock Castle has to go back, and make sure that the secrets of the artillery and gunpowder are not revealed, you know?! ”
Li Changfeng nodded solemnly, hesitated for a moment and said: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father, to be honest, Erchen really doesn't want to stay in the capital, because it's too dangerous here, and Erchen was assassinated in the mansion yesterday!" ”
"What!?" Emperor Qianwu's face changed, and he sat up from the dragon chair suddenly, "You're not injured, are you?" Why didn't you tell me in the first place?! ”
As he spoke, Emperor Qianwu quickly bypassed the imperial case and came to Li Changfeng, looking up and down with a concerned expression.
"It's a fluke!" Li Changfeng showed a look of panic, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, the capital is too dangerous!" Since Erchen returned to Beijing, he has been assassinated one after another, and the first few times he has been saved from danger, what about next time? Erchen doesn't want to die! You just let Erchen go back to Baishi City, Erchen is really scared! ”
Seeing Li Changfeng's expression, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and comforted him with some guilt: "Changfeng, don't worry, my father will definitely find out the murderer and ensure that you will give you an explanation safely!" ”
Li Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Check the murderer? Father, you have been investigating for so long, what about the murderer? Erchen can't afford to wait, I'm afraid! A retainer can die for his country, but he doesn't want to die at the hands of an assassin, so it's worthless! ”
Emperor Qianwu felt even more guilty, patted Li Changfeng's shoulder and said seriously: "Changfeng, don't worry, I will find out the murderer even if I raise the strength of the whole country, you don't have to worry, don't worry about doing your thing boldly!" ”
Seeing Emperor Qianwu's face full of guilt, Li Changfeng felt that his emotions were almost brewing, so he showed a disappointed look and said, "Father, you obviously know that it was Li Ji, the sixth emperor's brother, who did it, why don't you investigate him?" Do you still favor him now? Is Erchen so unimportant in your eyes? In that case, it's better to let Erchen go back to White Rock City! ”
Emperor Qianwu was anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Where did I favor Li Ji? No one is more important to me than you! And I've been secretly investigating Li Ji, but all kinds of evidence show that he didn't do it! ”
Li Changfeng had long known that Emperor Qianwu would not find out any evidence, because it was not Li Ji who bought the murderer.
He acted in this scene in order to detain the black pot for Li Ji and use the hand of Emperor Qianwu to clean up Li Ji.
Li Changfeng continued with an indignant face: "Who else could it be if it wasn't him? Who else has the entire Great Qianerchen offended? Father, you are clearly favoring him! ”
"I didn't favor him, don't worry, I will increase my efforts to investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation sooner or later!"
Expressing his attitude, Emperor Qianwu hurriedly changed the topic: "It is a matter of great importance that there are spies in Baishi City, I will allow you to go back, in order to ensure your safety, I will send a hundred Ouchi masters and a thousand guards of the Imperial Forest Army, you must come back as soon as possible after dealing with the affairs over there!" ”
Li Changfeng didn't continue to dwell on this issue, he let out a long sigh and said with a disappointed face: "Got it, Erchen retired!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Emperor Qianwu's permission, and left with a dejected expression.
Looking at his departing back, Emperor Qianwu's mouth opened, and he had a thousand words in his heart but didn't know how to say them.
In any case, Li Changfeng has been assassinated repeatedly, and he has never found out the results, so it is normal to have feelings of worry, fear and disappointment.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Qianwu's face gradually became cold, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Call me over that bastard thing of Li Ji!" ”
……
At the same time, after walking out of the palace gate, Li Changfeng immediately showed a smile on his face, where was there still a trace of loneliness.
"Fight with me, and you can't be killed?"
With a cold smile, Li Changfeng walked towards Jingren Palace.
Only then did he go back to Baishi City, and he didn't know when he would come back, so he had to separate himself from Concubine Lan and Mingzhudao.
If it were possible, he wouldn't want to go back to the capital for the rest of his life.
As for the business here, with his subordinates watching, and Emperor Qianwu as a backer, there will definitely be no problems.
Even if something goes wrong, he has other ways to make a lot of money, and he doesn't have to worry about running out of money to spend.
On the other side, Li Ji came to the palace with apprehension, he always felt that there was nothing good for Emperor Qianwu to suddenly summon him, but after thinking about it, he didn't do anything wrong during this time.
When he saw Emperor Qianwu, Li Ji did enough courtesies and paid his respects cautiously.
"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"
Seeing Li Ji, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but think of what Li Changfeng said to him not long ago, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
He couldn't be sure that it was Li Ji who sent someone to assassinate Li Changfeng, but it was undeniable that what Li Changfeng said still had some truth, and Li Ji was the most suspicious and motivated person.
If there is no evidence, even if he is the Great Qian Emperor, it is not easy to convict a prince, and Li Ji will not admit it.
Now that Li Changfeng is leaving the capital, he must beat Li Ji well, lest if it is really Li Ji, he will take this opportunity to continue to attack Li Changfeng.
It's just that how to beat is a problem.
Li Ji saw Emperor Qianwu staring at him with his eyes flashing and not speaking, he couldn't help but feel even more worried in his heart, so he said cautiously: "Father? ”
Emperor Qianwu came back to his senses, his face sank, and he simply stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Yesterday, another assassin sneaked into Changfeng's mansion to assassinate him, do you know about this?" ”
"I don't know!" Li Ji looked dazed, then reacted, startled, and exclaimed: "Father, you won't be suspicious of your son, right?" ”
Emperor Qianwu smiled coldly: "You didn't do it, what are you nervous about?" ”
Li Ji shouted: "How can Erchen not be nervous? Everyone knows that I had a holiday with the Nine Emperor Brothers, whether it was the minister or the father, you had suspected the son-in-law, and now that there is this matter, the father and the emperor have called the son-in-law again, aren't you suspicious of the son-in-law? ”
Li Ji is called a grievance in his heart!
If only he had really sent someone to assassinate Li Changfeng, but the problem was no!
He had thought about doing this, but Li Changfeng was in the limelight now, and how many people were staring at him, he didn't dare to use such insidious methods at all.
Once any clues are revealed and found on his head, then his future will be over!
He hasn't gotten his mind to this extent.
As for the person who really assassinated Li Changfeng, in his opinion, Li Chengye and Li Shou are the most suspicious, after all, with him as the back-handed man, he can reduce many dangers.
There was no evidence that Emperor Qianwu couldn't do anything to Li Ji, so he coldly warned: "Li Ji, I can tell you clearly that I have been investigating you all along, and you are indeed the most suspicious. Although I don't have any evidence now, I still have to warn you, it's best not to destroy your future! ”
Li Ji said bitterly: "Father, the son is wronged!" is still the same sentence, although Erchen has some misunderstandings with the elder brother of Changfeng Emperor, but how can it not be fratricidal! There are more princes and ministers in the court, why didn't my father check on others? ”
Li Ji wants to lead the troubles to the east, how can Emperor Qianwu not see his thoughts?
Emperor Qianwu smiled coldly and said, "I don't need you to remind me that I have my own opinions!" ”
Then the conversation changed and said: "The peace you proposed before made the Li royal family lose face, if it weren't for Changfeng's words, even I would have been deceived by you, it's a bastard!" ”
As he spoke, Emperor Qianwu stood up, took out the belt of seven wolves and walked towards Li Ji.
Again?!
Li Ji's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "Father, this matter is also for the sake of the great cadres, and he is not selfish, and he has no intention of deceiving you!" ”
Emperor Qianwu ignored it, snapped a belt on Li Ji's body, and scolded loudly.
"Then why can't you say those fierce words?"
"Mingzhu, that's your own sister, why are you willing to let him go and kiss?!"
"You spineless thing!"
Every time Emperor Qianwu scolded, he slapped it hard.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the reason he was looking for was very lame, and this kind of approach was also very irrational, and even damaged his image of wisdom and martial arts.
But he didn't care, he just wanted to slap Li Ji hard.
First, to vent the anger in his heart, and secondly, to show his attitude, so that Li Changfeng knew that he had no intention of partiality.
Li Ji kept rolling on the ground, letting out a scream like killing a pig.
How many times has this been belted?
Li Jidu couldn't remember it clearly.
He felt that Li Changfeng had been constantly beaten since he returned to Beijing, either by Li Changfeng or by Emperor Qianwu.
He hated Emperor Qianwu and Li Changfeng in his heart, but he was helpless, so he could only beg for mercy again and again.
After a while, Emperor Qianwu was tired, so he returned to the dragon chair and sat down, waving his hand impatiently: "Get out!" ”
Li Ji got up, didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and bowed down and said, "Erchen retires." ”
After turning around, his face instantly turned hideous.
