Volume 1 Chang'an Chapter 86 Murder
Li Ye's meaning is very clear, that is, to frame the assassination of Kang Chengxun on Li Guochang's head.
For the envoys of Lu Longjie, they want to fight with Zhenwu, but because they have always been unruly, they are disliked by the court, and there are no big people in the court who are friends, and they are not able to do it.
"Evidence...... There are some, but I'm afraid there isn't much ironclad evidence......" After Zhang He was excited, he thought about it calmly, and then said hesitantly.
After Kang Chengxun left the town of Hedong, Li Guochang has always regarded him as a thorn in his side, especially after Li Guanshu's death, in order to force Kang Chengxun out of Hedong, Li Guochang made some small moves in private, for Lu Long, who paid close attention to Zhenwu, these small actions are naturally not difficult to find clues, if you try your best to dig this time, it is not impossible to dig up clues.
But these clues can only show that Li Guochang had bad thoughts about Kang Chengxun, and it is far from enough for Zhenwu to carry out the crime of stabbing Kang Chengxun.
Li Ye said: "Why do you need ironclad evidence, as long as there is some evidence, let Li Guochang become the number one suspect in the assassination of Kang Chengxun, this matter will be completed." β
It is indeed difficult to confirm the crime of Li Guochang's assassination of Kang Chengxun, and the evidence is not easy to falsify, but if it is only disclosed that Li Guochang has dealt with Kang Chengxun in the past, the evidence will be easy to find.
Once this matter reaches the ears of Emperor Li Luo, what will Li Yi think?
Even if Zhenwu can't be punished, he won't let the lord of Lijun marry Zhenwu, so that Zhenwu has the opportunity to continue to grow his power.
In the final analysis, Li Ye's plan is to pour dirty water on Li Guochang.
Zhang He quickly understood what Li Ye meant, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Highness's plan...... It's a draw from the bottom of the kettle!"
Li Ye looked at Zhang He and said solemnly: "What do you mean by 'Your Highness's plan'? What does this have to do with Lone? Lone didn't do anything." Lone just wants to seek justice for the dead Kang Gong. β
When he said this, he didn't blush at all, and Song Jiao couldn't help but glance at him.
Zhang He immediately understood, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is high-spirited and bright, and the officials admire it!"
The man in the Confucian shirt behind Zhang He saw that Li Ye was so brazen, and his eyes were also shocked.
Zhang He continued: "Speaking of which, Kang Chengxun is Wei Baoheng's right-hand man, but he was forced to leave the town by Li Guochang, the two should have a deep feud, Wei Baoheng can let go of personal grievances and turn the fight with Li Guochang into a jade silk, if this matter is really done by Wei Baoheng, this is also a miracle...... It's just that he takes it for granted. β
Li Ye said: "Whether Wei Baoheng is taken for granted depends on Zhang Gong and Lu Long, whether they can succeed in the Jedi counterattack this time." If this happens, everyone will naturally be happy, and if it fails, then Wei Baoheng will really become a hero in the world. β
Zhang He immediately said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Lu Long will definitely do his best in this matter!"
Li Ye nodded: "That's good!"
Zhang He's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly got up and saluted Li Ye: "Your Highness's kindness to Lu Long, Lu Long is unforgettable!"
Li Ye smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." β
......
Sending Zhang He and the others away, Song Jiao returned to Li Ye's room and saw Li Ye sitting on a low floor, silent, as if thinking about something.
Song Jiaoyan said with a smile: "Wei Baoheng wants to borrow the marriage of the county lord of Li, turn the fight with Zhenwu into a jade silk, and turn Zhenwu into his own wings, his thoughts are not small, but if your strategy works this time, then Wei Baoheng will not have the political achievement of 'taming' Zhenwu, not to mention, Lu Long will also accept your affection, and the political achievement of 'taming' the unruly feudal town will fall into your hands, and your wings will rise in the future." β
Li Ye glanced at Song Jiao: "Can this matter be done or not?" β
Song Jiao sat down next to Li Ye with a smile, staring at his face for a while, which made Li Ye feel unnatural for a while, and helplessly put away his thoughts: "What is Aunt Song looking at again?"
Song Jiao said quietly: "Anyway, you can have such a plan, you will impress me!"
Li Ye spread his hands: "Aunt Song just wants to say that I am different from my father." β
Song Jiao's eyes were slightly dazed, probably remembering the past: "It's really different." β
Li Ye paused, and suddenly said, "That's because the situation is different." β
Then the two did not idle any more, but discussed some details on the matter, which are not to be said.
Let's say that three days later, Li Ye went to Chang'an Mansion to be on duty, and as soon as Wu entered the door, he found that up and down Chang'an Mansion, the officials who came and went were in a hurry, quite anxious, and it seemed that something big had happened.
Not long after Li Ye sat down in the yamen, Wang Li rushed over and said to Li Ye: "Shaoyin, something is wrong!"
"What?"
"An official came late yesterday night to report that a group of river bandits came out on the bank of the Weishui River in Huangli Township, robbed the wharf of Huangli Township, and the autumn fu stored in the wharf warehouse was looted, which was 50,000 yuan, and it had not had time to be transported to Chang'an City......
"The warehouse is heavy, it is guarded by heavy soldiers, and there is no shortage of Qi cultivators, how can it be easily robbed?"
"According to that official, there are also master magicians in that group of river bandits, and there are traces of spell battles on the scene!"
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are all river bandits, and the way of this world is already so unpeaceful?"
"Alas! Who says it's not, in recent years, the rebels in the feudal towns have been in chaos from time to time, and border troubles have been rampant everywhere, and even horse bandits, river bandits, and mountain bandits have also increased, and they are simply flooded!"
Li Ye fell silent, and after a while, he chuckled lightly and said secretly: Is it really here?
Chang'an Mansion, also known as Jingzhao Mansion, governs the land of Gyeonggi, and its jurisdiction is naturally not only Chang'an City, but also several surrounding counties are within its jurisdiction, that is to say, this matter is also within Li Ye's responsibilities.
Not long after, someone came to spread the word, and Xu Shaomu convened everyone to discuss the matter.
When he came to the council hall, Li Ye found that the heavyweight officials of Chang'an Mansion were there, Xu Shaomu stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was solemn, and after the people arrived, he briefly reported the matter of the river bandits, and then expressed his indignation, and the firm will to bring the river bandits to justice, and then arranged for people to go to Huangli Township to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Li Ye was in charge of the affairs of the monks in Chang'an Mansion, and he naturally wanted to come forward in this case, so Xu Shaomu ordered Li Ye's generals in public and asked him to take the lead in handling the case, and took people to Huangli Township on the same day. Li Ye took over the errand without shirking his responsibility.
After the discussion, Xu Shaomu left Li Ye behind and planned some details of the case with him alone.
At the end, Xu Shaomu sighed: "This matter is strange, I'm afraid that there are villains." β
Li Ye naturally knew who the villain Xu Shaomu was talking about, he said: "Now is the critical time for the princes to compete for the outstanding officials of the feudal town, and there is a bandit in the territory of Chang'an Mansion, which is bound to be the Son of Heaven angry and lower the responsibility, and if this matter spreads, it will be a big blow to the prestige of the princes. β
Xu Shaomu's expression was gloomy: "If this matter is not handled properly, Wei Baoheng, as the ruling prime minister who commands hundreds of officials, will also take the opportunity to attack Chang'an Mansion, maybe he will punish a group of officials and dismiss them, and then this official will bear the brunt." Then, he installed his henchmen in and took control of Chang'an Mansion...... In this dispute between the two parties, Wei Baoheng's methods are endless, which is really difficult to guard. β
Li Ye said: "In any case, let's go to Huangli Township to check first." β
Xu Shaomu nodded and looked at Li Ye: "The situation in Chang'an is treacherous, this official must sit in the city, and the matter of Huangli Township will be entrusted to Shaoyin." β
Li Ye hugged his fists and said: "Fu Yin can rest assured." β
Coming out of the council hall and returning to Shaoyin's Yamen, Li Ye called Wang Li and discussed with him the details of the trip to Huangli Township, including who to bring, how many officials to dispatch, etc., and then drew up a list and a list of required materials - the latter mainly involved magic weapons, horses, etc., and asked Wang to leave and start to deal with it.
In the afternoon, Li Ye asked Wang Li to take the officials and officials to the city gate, and he came to meet later, taking advantage of this time, Li Ye went back to the palace of King An first.
Called Song Jiao, Li Zhen, Shangguan Chengcheng and others, Li Ye told them about Huangli Township, and then asked Song Jiao to dispatch monks from Tsing Yi Yamen, on the one hand, to take the lead in rushing to Huangli Township to conduct secret investigations, which can be regarded as opening the way for Li Ye, on the other hand, also let Song Jiao send some people to follow secretly, as a reserve force, acting as a guard and reinforcement.
As soon as Li Ye made the arrangement, Song Jiao went down to make arrangements, Li Zhen frowned and said: "Your Highness, this matter is strange, and I feel that it seems that it is not only for Duke Lu and Duke Xu, but also ...... What does it mean to His Highness!"
"Why?"
"Because the lord of Lijun ...... His Royal Highness blocked the way for Wei Baoheng to form an alliance with Li Guochang, which was one of them. β
"Second?"
Second, Wei Baoheng ...... Fear Your Highness!"
"What do you mean?"
"The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness defeated Li Keyong in public in the Horse Mansion. And Li Keyong is known as the one who is expected to build a foundation and achieve the realm of real people in the near future...... His Highness defeated him, doesn't it mean that His Highness is now the first genius in the world?
Li Ye fell silent.
Shangguan Chengcheng was surprised: "Even if His Highness has a bright future, but his cultivation is not very high at the moment, Wei Baoheng's own strength is not to mention, there are countless wings, and he has also recruited countless masters of the rivers and lakes, is it too much to say that he is afraid of His Highness?"
Li Zhen shook his head solemnly, and said with a straight face: "General Shangguan must know, Your Highness...... It's His Royal Highness King An!"
Shangguan Chengcheng was stunned, and immediately understood.
More than 20 years ago, the young Li Xian was also the first day of Chang'an City, known as the existence of the foundation of the foundation, and now Li Ye is showing the potential of not being weaker than Li Xian, doesn't that mean that Li Ye is very likely to reach Li Xian's former height in the future?
What height was Lee Hyeon?
It is the first master of Chang'an who is the best in cultivation for a while, and is infinitely close to the foundation!
He is known as a hero who can save the times and help the building to fall!
It is the opening of the palace and the three divisions, the military and political power are all in his hands, and even the prime minister has to bow his head when he sees it!
Li Xian like that, who is not in awe, who is not jealous?
Li Zhen continued: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes, Lao An Wang ....... died of the jealousy of the ministers and the suspicion of the king, and the battle of Bagong Mountain was arranged by Wei Baoheng...... In the past, Wei Baoheng even wanted to kill King Lao An, but now, how can he sit back and watch His Highness grow and grow?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused: "Although His Royal Highness's current cultivation is not too high, and his wings are not full, but he can defeat Li Keyong, his strength should not be underestimated, and the protΓ©gΓ©s of Lao An are all over the world, and they may not appear when His Royal Highness is down, so as not to offend Wei Baoheng in power and be suppressed." β
"But if they see that His Royal Highness has become powerful, can compete with Wei Baoheng, and has the hope of reproducing the former power of King Lao An, then whether it is for the love of King Lao An in the past, or for the future future, they will naturally flock to His Highness's side, but His Highness is the first to look forward...... At that time, what will Wei Baoheng do to fight with His Highness?"
Li Ye was still silent.
Shangguan Chengcheng glanced at Li Ye and pondered: "If King Lao An is really suspicious of His Majesty, and this is why there is a difficulty in Bagong Mountain, then how can Your Majesty let His Highness become bigger?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "In the past, King An was powerful and dominated the court, so His Majesty supported Wei Baoheng and let Wei Baoheng deal with King An, so now, Wei Baoheng is powerful, why won't Your Majesty support His Royal Highness and get rid of Wei Baoheng?
"As for the matter of the old King An...... In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the subjects of the world are all pawns, and they are killed and taken away, but with one heart, who dares to disobey them? Take a step back and say, even if His Highness knows something, can he still rebel? As long as the hatred of the past is not put on the surface, the Son of Heaven can only endure it! The Son of Heaven said that the responsibility lies with the ministers, and everything is the work of the ministers, who dares to say that it is not? If the Son of Heaven makes a mistake, at most he will behead the ministers and let the ministers take the blame, how can the Son of Heaven himself be guilty?
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Your Highness ...... Then before the incident, why couldn't Your Majesty suppress His Highness with the same technique?"
Shangguan Chengcheng was stunned and speechless.
Li Zhen looked at Li Ye and waited for him to decide.
Li Ye smiled and said to Li Zhen: "Mr. Dacai, I really didn't read it wrong...... As for going to Huangli Township, whether Wei Baoheng is targeting me, I don't care. If the river bandits in Huangli Township are not Wei Baoheng's people, then that's it, if it is really Wei Baoheng's behind-the-scenes instructions, I only need to capture the river bandits, then the ironclad evidence is in hand, and it will not be difficult to overthrow Wei Baoheng. β
Li Zhen was shocked and said, "Your Highness, this is ...... Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains?"
Li Ye said lightly: "If you don't enter the tiger's mouth, how can you get the tiger?"
Li Zhen wanted to say something more, but Li Ye waved his hand: "Okay, needless to say, I have my own arrangements, even if I don't succeed, there will be no danger." β
There were some things that Li Ye couldn't say.
Since his rebirth, he has broken the trajectory of many things in his previous life, such as Li Guanshu and Kang Chengxun, he knows very well that these things are bound to affect a lot of luck, and whether the things in the future will happen according to the previous life, he is not sure, now, the chaos in Huangchao is imminent, he has no time to delay, he must eradicate Wei Baoheng as soon as possible to ensure that Li Yan is on the throne.
As for the danger, with Song Jiao by his side, even if there is any danger, Song Jiao can use all his strength to cultivate, at least he can take him away, and his life is safe.
In addition, the most important point is that Li Ye showed his cultivation in the Horse Mansion, in order to make Wei Baoheng jealous - the problem that Li Zhen could think of, how could he not think of it before.
Wang Duo and Lu Yan collected evidence of Wei Baoheng's corruption and dereliction of duty, and wanted to impeach him, but after so much time has passed, nothing has been found, which is the proof.
In this case, if Li Ye wants to bring down Wei Baoheng, he has to make him make mistakes.
So he defeated Li Keyong, made Wei Baoheng jealous, and shot under jealousy, Li Ye had a chance, if he could take advantage of the situation to grab Wei Baoheng's handle, then a big event could be expected!
