On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, at noon, the study of the Wei Wangfu.

After Sun Xun was arrested, the court was like a fried pot again. No one thought that the mastermind of the assassination of the King of Qincha Wei was actually a thousand households of the Tsing Yi Wei Bei Anping Division, and this was worth it! For a while, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the crowd was in an uproar, and this scene seemed to be even more noisy than the deposed prince. Because everyone's head is not stupid, they all have the same conjecture: they have never heard of any grudge between Sun Xun and King Wei, so the real mastermind of the assassination of King Wei may be the ...... behind Sun Xun That person.

As for who that person is, the courtiers are like a mirror in their hearts, but no one will take the initiative to break it. After all, the stakes are too great! Without particularly hard evidence, no one dares to open their mouths to say so. If your casual remarks are heard by others, it is a great sin of false accusations. It's just because the two people involved in this are both the Prince of Jiuzhu of the Dynasty, and they are both roles above 10,000 people under one person.

After hearing the news, Qiu Mingli, the head of the household department, couldn't avoid suspicion, and hurried to the Wei Wangfu at noon. After the two had lunch, they went to the study, and as soon as Qiu Ming Lifu sat down, he talked about Sun Xun's arrest.

"Your Highness, that Sun Xun was arrested in the Tsing Yi Guard last night, and now he has personally confessed that he Sun Xun himself is the mastermind of the assassination of Qincha at the mouth of the West Gorge. Tyumen said.

Li Zhen took a sip of Longjing tea and said, "I have no grievances with him Sun Xun, why did he come to assassinate me?"

Qiu Mingli said: "Isn't this obvious? Your Highness! Sun Xun is just a chess piece, and the real mastermind must be the King of Chu!"

"My eldest brother...... Although I don't have much to do with him, we are brothers after all, so why did he send someone to kill me?"

Qiu Mingli said: "Your Highness, before the crown prince was deposed, you were brothers. After the crown prince is deposed, in the eyes of the king of Chu, you are the only opponent competing for the new crown prince!"

Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Ahem! Whoever is appointed as the new crown prince, isn't it all in the hands of his father? Even if there is no me, what about the sixth, eighth, and fourteenth brothers? How do you know that this new prince will get him the king of Chu in the first round?!"

Qiu Mingli said: "Your Highness, you must know that the Prince of Jiuzhu who is now our great Qian, but you and the King of Chu are the two!"

Li Zhen sneered: "What's wrong with Jiuzhu? Although it's only one step behind, the difference between this step is thousands of miles away...... Moreover, the two royal pearls sealed by my father's edict are nothing more than a reward for our hard work and our contribution to raising money for this disaster relief, how can we be involved in the matter of the prince!"

Qiu Mingli said disapprovingly: "Your Highness thinks so, but he King Chu doesn't think so, in the heart of King Chu, the position of Prince Jiuzhu is almost the same as that of the crown prince...... Naturally, he couldn't allow it, there was a second Jiuzhu family in this big world

King...... In particular, he heard that the emperor was already sick and sick...... "Qiu Mingli secretly thought in his heart, isn't this edict of the emperor just a blowing wind and a life talisman? Why did the emperor have to issue this edict to seal Prince Jiuzhu, but at the moment when the prince was deposed, was it just to show merit to the kings of Wei and Chu? Let him Qiumingli rise and fall in the sea for decades, and at this time it is still impossible to guess what intentions the old emperor is hiding in his heart.

"Ahem......! Since ancient times, the family of emperors, don't talk about siblings?" Li Zhen sighed softly, and he didn't want to start this topic in his heart. He picked up the tea bowl in his hand, used the lid of the bowl to pluck the tea powder floating on the surface, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "I don't know about my father's illness...... What's going on now? My father won't let me, as a son, go in and have a look......"

Qiu Ming said: "Your Highness, rest assured, look at the old man...... The emperor is not sick?"

"Oh...... Why is Mr. Qiu so sure?" asked Li Jin.

Qiu Mingli smiled and said: "Your Highness, who saved Your Highness from danger when you were raided by assassins at the mouth of the West Gorge this time?"

Li Zhen said: "Naturally, he is the chief of the forbidden army, Cheng Wanli." ”

Qiu Mingli said: "Wrong, it is the emperor who really saved His Highness from danger! If it weren't for the emperor's secret decree ordering General Cheng to greet His Highness in the starry night, would His Highness still be able to sit here and drink tea peacefully? Although this time, the crown prince was deposed, and the emperor was rumored to be critically ill. However, all the affairs of the court and the central government are still orderly under the management of the eldest grandson, but the garrison and defense inside and outside the imperial city are more tight, and the entire court situation is just looking chaotic, but in fact it is extremely rigorous. Your Highness thinks about it, if the emperor is not personally in charge of the overall situation in the back, can he have such a calm atmosphere? If the emperor is really critically ill, can he still see the slightest detail and secretly instruct General Cheng to run hundreds of miles to take over?

Li Zhen listened to Qiu Mingli's words, and felt a shock in his heart, at this time, he knew that what Gao Liangshi, the chief administrator of the inner court, said was true, it seems that his father may really be as Mr. Qiu said, there is nothing at all. However, why did the father pretend to be sick, and even his own sons avoided it one by one? It seems that since ancient times, the will of heaven has been difficult to ask, and only the father and emperor know his thoughts.

Li Jin said slowly: "That being said, if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save him without illness, I'm afraid that the life of the lonely king would have been lost under Sun Xun's hands......" Li Jin suddenly remembered the young man who seemed to be a weak scholar who accompanied him all the way. In order to protect himself, he was unfortunately beaten by Sun Xun with two tribulus terrestris, and at this time he didn't know where he was, according to the time, unless it was the help of the gods, otherwise, he Xu Ke would only have less than two days to live.

"Your Highness rest assured, he has no illness and can be rescued by a master, he is at this moment, the poison has been solved, and the person has been

It's all right!" Qiu Mingli said with a smile.

"Really!" Li Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

"What's wrong with ......the disease-free brother? Is it solved?" Xue Tao, who was outside the door, broke free from Ma Huacheng's support, and Gu Zi staggered in.

"Lao Xue, tell you good news! The disease-free poison was rescued by Li Zhenren of Xuandu Guan, and now he is all right! The night before yesterday, he also went to my grass hall and drank half a jar of Lao Feng wine with the old man!" Qiu Mingli laughed. He saw that Xue Tao's footsteps were unsteady, so he hurriedly got up and ran to help him, but in a hurry, he forgot that he was also a person with inconvenient legs. At this moment, Li Zhen saw a lame man holding a weak man, and both of them staggered over, and they didn't know who was supporting whom......

"Great! I hate my uncompetitive body, and I have to pant for breath when I take a few more steps! Otherwise, I will drink a jar of good wine with my disease-free brother, and I will also drink it and get drunk! Hahaha!" Xue Tao also smiled.

Li Zhen motioned for the two of them to sit down, and today he heard the good news that Xu Ke's poisoning had been resolved, and he was also very happy in his heart, so he also said with a smile:

"There is good news! The assassin who wounded you is Sun Xun of the Tsing Yi Guard, who has now been caught red-handed and has confessed. ”

"'Ghost Face' Sun Xun, it's him! No wonder...... This dog has made me like a wasted person, and I can only lie down so sick all day long! In a few days, my old Xue will have to interrogate him, so that this dog thief can also suffer a little!" Xue Tao said hatefully.

"Don't worry, right now he is locked up in the edict of Tsing Yiwei, and you don't need to do anything. You all know the methods in this Tsing Yi Guard...... After thinking about Sun Xun, there will be some hardships......" Li Zhen took a leisurely sip of tea and said slowly.

......

It was precisely as Li Zhen said, almost at the same time, in Tsing Yiwei's edict prison, that is, in cell No. 16 of Jiazi. At this time, there was a slender middle-aged man with shackles and chains on his hands, feet, and neck. His body was already covered with scars, his face was covered with blood, and the most shocking thing was that his two pipa bones were also wearing two iron chains. There were seven chains, large and small, that connected his body to the walls at both ends. As long as he moved slightly, he would pull the iron chain, which would drive the wound of the pipa bone, causing a sharp pain all over his body. As a result, he could only lie on the ground, motionless.

It was noon, but it was still dark in the cell. He would occasionally raise his head, and if there was anyone next to him, he would see his white face, which was already even paler...... He is not Li Junxian, he is the former "ghost face" Sun Xun who was high in the Bei'an Pingsi and everyone talked about the tiger's color change in the prison.
