Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1142
Although Su Cheng had no evidence, what Su Cheng had done since he entered Chang'an had already proved his ability. Since he could treat Su Cheng with serious concerns, it could be seen that he was somewhat sure.

For a while, Princess Changle was in a state of disarray. The crown prince's position as the crown prince had been fairly stable all along. Although King Wei also wanted to compete for the crown prince, she always felt that it was unlikely that her father would change the crown prince.

And even if the father is Yichu, the prince will still be conferred the title of king, at least there will be no fear of his life.

Rebellion, the nature is completely different.

The current situation in the DPRK is not as life-and-death as it was back then.

Princess Changle held Su Cheng's hand vigorously, and said in a panic, "Should I remind the father? Or persuade the prince?"

Su Cheng explained very calmly: "If the prince really intends to plot against you and doesn't tell your majesty, you will be deceiving your majesty, but you have to remind your majesty, but we have no evidence. Your majesty will think that I am sowing discord, and may even suspect that I have stood up. King Wei's side."

Princess Changle was just flustered at first, but now that she has calmed down a bit, she understands that this kind of thing really cannot be acted rashly.

The question before Princess Changle is, should she choose the father or the prince?

Or this is not an option for Princess Changle at all, of course it is to choose the father!

For her, the father is closer, and for Su Cheng, the same is true.

After all, she was a princess who grew up beside Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Princess Changle quickly calmed down and analyzed: "If the prince brother wants to rebel, it is impossible that there is no clue. Just search and you will definitely find evidence."

"It's just that it's not good for Mr. Lang to get involved. After all, there is no reason to investigate this matter, and the emperor will inevitably have grudges in his heart. Therefore, it is better to tell the fourth brother about this matter without revealing any traces. The fourth brother will definitely investigate to the end!"

I have to say that Princess Changle's plan is really good, to pick herself out and let Li Tai go to the front line.

Su Cheng pondered: "The firearms supervisor lost a batch of gunpowder, and I have already sent someone to investigate."

After hearing this, Princess Changle quickly said: "Your Majesty will accompany you on the expedition, and the firearms supervisor will not be responsible for losing the gunpowder!"

After finishing speaking, Princess Changle finally came to her senses, and said in a voiceless voice: "Mr. Lang suspects that the crown prince sent someone to steal the gunpowder?"

Su Cheng said softly: "There is such a suspicion. Gunpowder is of no other use. Who would steal a warehouse of gunpowder? Who would let the firearms supervisor willing to take big risks?"

After hearing Su Cheng's analysis, Princess Changle also felt that Su Cheng's suspicion was not unreasonable.

"Then we really need to investigate carefully, the power of gunpowder is so powerful, it's really dangerous to spread it!" Princess Changle said worriedly.

If it was just a mutiny, then she wouldn't be too worried, after all, her father, Huangxiong, was only a planner, and he wouldn't be unable to handle even a mere mutiny.

But it would be hard to say if gunpowder was used. Even the majestic cities of Goguryeo were easily breached by firearms.

Su Cheng wasn't too worried. If he used gunpowder, he could overturn the entire palace, but Li Chengqian used gunpowder. It wasn't that Su Cheng looked down on Li Chengqian. It would be nice if Li Chengqian could set off fireworks.

Su Cheng hugged Princess Changle in his arms, and said with relief: "It's just a guess now, even if the prince really rebelled, there will be no troubles. Today is different from the past. The prince and His Majesty are still worse than before. There are quite a few Li Jiancheng! So, you don’t have to worry, I didn’t tell you at first because I was afraid you would worry.”

Princess Changle nodded slightly, lying in Su Cheng's warm embrace at the moment, she felt very at ease.

But when she thought of the prince's rebellion, she still felt sad, after all, he was her own brother.

And she couldn't imagine how sad her father and queen mother would be when they found out, especially the queen mother.

Thinking of this, Princess Changle felt very uncomfortable, and said quietly: "I really hope that your guess is wrong, I hope that the prince's elder brother can wake up, otherwise the queen mother will be so sad."

Su Cheng couldn't help being silent when he heard this. If Li Chengqian rebelled, the most difficult thing to do would be the eldest grandson empress, with her husband on one side and her son on the other.

"Don't show any strangeness in front of His Majesty and Queen for the time being!" Su Cheng warned.

Princess Changle nodded and said: "Of course I know that, Mr. Lang should be more careful. No matter whether the gunpowder falls into the hands of the prince, it will be a great danger after all."

Su Cheng patted her smooth and delicate pink back, and said in relief: "Don't worry, go to sleep!"

In the following time, Su Cheng still had to socialize, and the officials and people in Chang'an were still immersed in the excitement of destroying Goguryeo, so the banquet was also extremely hearty.

However, Su Cheng's thoughts were all focused on the investigation of the theft of gunpowder. To Su Cheng's relief, Zhang Chunning finally checked everything and confirmed that neither the musket nor the cannon had been circulated.

Then what did Li Chengqian do with the gunpowder?

Buried under the palace?
Not to mention whether Li Chengqian has the brain to think of blasting, the palace is so big, where can Li Chengqian be buried?
It's useless to bury it elsewhere, but if you want someone to bury it in His Royal Highness Liangyi without anyone noticing, how is it possible?

Has Empress Changsun been in the palace all this year?
Unless Empress Changsun supports Li Chengqian's mutiny, how is this possible?

Then Li Chengqian could only secretly make muskets or cannons by himself, but it was so easy to make muskets or cannons.

Although it happened last year, as long as you search carefully, you can always find some clues.

From the beginning of Zhang Chunning's investigation, each firearms supervisor's officials were removed from the list of suspects. Su Cheng felt a little relieved, after all, Su Cheng single-handedly picked up these people.

Jian Cheng, Chief Registrar, Left Colonel, Right Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Zhen Guan, etc. are all fine. Su Cheng was relieved, but also wondered if he was too suspicious.

If you look further down, you're a supervisor, but the supervisor doesn't even have a grade, can Li Chengqian see it?

Su Cheng finally decided to investigate. Although the supervisor is not a product, he also has real power in the firearms supervision, and has a lot to do with the warehouse.

Su Cheng was very sure that Li Chengqian wanted to rebel!

Doesn't Li Chengqian plan to rebel now?

Could it be that the batch of gunpowder was really damp?
Just when Su Cheng wondered if he was being too suspicious, Chen Shan ran over excitedly.

"Grandpa, we found it!" Chen Shan said excitedly.

Hearing the news, Su Cheng also felt a sense of relief, and the feeling of guarding against thieves for a thousand days was also uncomfortable. Knowing that Li Chengqian would rebel, he still hoped to finish it quickly. As the saying goes, early death and early rebirth.
