Zhai Changsun's secret recital

The private slave sent by Li Chengqian to assassinate Zhang Xuansu was Chang'an City, where his family fled after suffering hardship.

He also chose to sell himself voluntarily in order to ensure the survival of his family.

It stands to reason that his identity should be filed with the government.

However, Li Chengqian had been trained as an assassin since the day he bought him, so he did not change his household registration at all.

In order to keep it as secret as possible, Li Chengqian had already secretly placed the family of this private slave.

And as soon as he knew that the assassination had failed, he had already disposed of all his family members.

Therefore, although Li Zhe printed many portraits of this person for people to identify, the results obtained were very unsatisfactory.

It would have been difficult to ascertain the identity of the slave under such circumstances.

However, in today's Chang'an City, there is a team of 100 horsemen who have undergone strict training and have begun to emerge.

At this time, there were less than 100 people who remained in Chang'an City.

But even this alone is enough to spy on the few political enemies that Li Zhi wants to pay attention to.

Although these people do not include Li Chengqian and Li Tai, they do include those officials under them.

And Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining, as Li Chengqian's teachers, are naturally also under surveillance.

Therefore, every move of the private slave on the night of the crime was actually under the surveillance of the Hundred Horsemen.

Just to prevent the Hundred Cavalry Division from becoming the brocade guard of Datang.

Li Zhi only gave them the power to investigate and monitor, but did not allow them to take the initiative to arrest any criminals.

Therefore, although the Baiqi Division witnessed the whole process of the private slave tracking and assassinating Zhang Xuansu, he could only transfer the information to Li Zhi for decision.

And when the Baiqi Division had just investigated all the relationships between Li Chengqian and the private slave, Yu Zhining's incident happened to happen.

So just ten days later, Li Zhi received a piece of information that shocked him.

After getting the information, Li Zhi did not hesitate too much.

He decided to hand over all the evidence to Li Shimin immediately, but at the same time asked Baiqi Si to keep the matter strictly confidential.

Li Zhi knew very well that this incident could not shake Li Chengqian's current status.

But it can definitely plant a seed of disappointment in the crown prince in Li Shimin's heart.

Therefore, at this time, Li Zhi not only wanted to let Li Shimin know the current strength of the Baiqi Division, but also showed an attitude of working hard to maintain the royal face:

I've looked into it, but I'm not going to make a statement.

Dad, you can do whatever you want.

"Your Majesty, General Zhai Changsun secretly asks to see you." Zhang Ananda whispered to Li Shimin.

More than a month after the assassination, Zhai Changsun finally asked to see Li Shimin at the behest of Li Zhi.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was puzzled when he heard that Zhai Changsun asked to see him:

Didn't all the people of the Hundred Horsemen Division be sent to Lingnan? Could it be that there is a result over there?

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Ananda: "Go and take him in." ”

"The eldest grandson of Chenzhai sees Your Majesty." Zhai Changsun said after entering the door.

Li Shimin said to him with a smile: "General Zhai doesn't have to be polite, come at night, but the matter in Lingnan has a result?" ”

Zhai Changsun said with a serious face: "Although there are many achievements in Lingnan, it is not yet time to close the net.

As a minister, there is another important matter that needs to be played by the emperor. ”

After hearing Zhai Changsun's words, Li Shimin said, "What is the important thing that requires you to tell it secretly?" ”

Zhai Changsun did not answer after listening to Li Shimin's words.

He handed the thick piece of information he was holding in his hand to Ananda Zhang.

Li Shimin immediately realized the seriousness of the matter after seeing Zhai Changsun's actions.

There are only two people here, himself and Zhang Ananda, and what Zhai Changsun played can be directly dictated.

But at the moment, he insisted that he should read the report with his own eyes, indicating that he was not sure whether he should let Zhang Ananda know about this matter.

Zhai Changsun and Zhang Ananda have both followed him for many years, how can something that can make him even guard against Zhang Ananda be small?

Zhang Ananda's face was already serious when he took the report.

After he took the report in his hand, he handed it over to Li Shimin without even looking at it.

At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to become oppressive.

In the entire hall, there was no other sound except for the sound of Li Shimin flipping through the information.

As soon as Li Shimin's eyes fell on the information in his hand, he couldn't take his eyes off.

The identity of the Assassin was already identified at the outset:

The murderer in the case of the assassination of Zhang Xuansu, the prince's right concubine, is named Liu Erniu, originally from Baekjiabao, Gyeongju.

There are both parents in the family, and one brother is still young.

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, his father unfortunately contracted an illness and could not engage in farming, and he himself was soon exhausted and his old fields were not harvested.

At the beginning of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the family's money and food had run out, and he had no choice but to enter Chang'an City and take the initiative to sell himself as a slave.

Li Shimin's arm suddenly shook after seeing this.

I saw that the intelligence clearly wrote: Zhang Shizheng, the prince's subordinate, secretly bought people and did not report it...

What follows is the process of this Erniu's assassination mission and the fate of the whole family after the failure.

In the end, Zhai Changsun also wrote about what happened in Yu Zhining's mansion, but unfortunately he couldn't find out the identities of the two people.

I only know that the two are also from the Prince's Mansion.

Li Shimin tried his best to suppress his anger and read the whole information.

Then under the shocked gaze of Zhang Ananda and Zhai Changsun, he threw out all the papers in his hands.

I saw Li Shimin stand up from the dragon chair suddenly.

Then he raised his trembling right hand and pointed at the intelligence on the ground.

It wasn't until half a day later that he said to Zhai Changsun: "Why do you have to hide such a rebellious son who is inferior to a beast?

He should directly make the ugly things he did public, so that the people of the world can recognize the true face of this beast. ”

"Your Majesty can't, there may still be hidden secrets in this matter, and your Majesty will need to inquire carefully before it can be decided."

Zhai Changsun hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of secret can make the prince kill the two teachers?"

Could it be that the two teachers could still harm him? ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Zhang Anan's eyes widened in shock on the spot.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Zhai Changsun who was standing beside him.

Li Shimin's words have already said most of the content of this information.

With Ananda's shrewdness, how could he not guess what the above was talking about?

However, it was precisely because of the clarity that Ananda Zhang could not control his shock.

If this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will directly set off a storm about Yi Chu in the court.

"Your Majesty thinks twice, thinks again."

Zhang Ananda quickly calmed himself down, and he tried his best to say to Li Shimin in the calmest tone.

After he finished speaking, Zhai Changsun also spoke again: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be made public. ”
