Chapter 447 Doubtful Points
The mountain and the moon in front of the fighting altar are secluded, and the master has dreams and sorrows.

When Zhanger looked at Nanxue, plum blossoms and I turned white.

Bai Fu said: "Lord Fang, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, please give me your advice."

Fang Shuliu smiled and said, "Don't rush to talk, let me guess, what can bother Brother Bai?"

Bai Fu and Princess Qingluan glanced at each other, looked at each other with a smile, picked up the teacup, and sipped the fragrant tea.

Fang Shuliu looked at the snow in Longshouyuan from a distance, pondered for a while, and said with a smile, "But you are here for Aunt Gongsun?"

Princess Qingluan asked in shock: "How did your lord know?"

Bai Fu looked at Fang Shuliu with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Fang Shuliu smiled and said, "There are probably only three things that can alarm Brother Bai in Chang'an: first, the cracking of the false Yan's underground spy network; second, Shi Siming's rebellion; third, His Majesty's assassination.

The cloak this girl is wearing looks like an ordinary fur outside the Great Wall, but judging from the fur turned out at the neckline, it should be clothing from the Lingwu area.

There are several frays on the cuffs, and the lotus water chestnut pattern used in the stitching corners, at first glance, it is the handwriting of Ouchi Xiu Niang Huamanji.

From these two points, it can be seen that the girl must be a person in the palace, and she is a "children of Yuan Cong" of Lingwu. "

Princess Qingluan was shocked. In order not to attract attention when she was leaving the palace, she specially picked out a few clothes that she bought in Lingwu, but Fang Shuliu saw the clue.

"Even if someone came from the palace, how does your lord know that it has something to do with Aunt Gongsun? Young Xia Bai doesn't know Aunt Gongsun?" Princess Qingluan asked Fang Shuliu, not wanting Fang Shuliu to see through.

Fang Shuliu stroked the long beard of the five willows, and said with a smile: "As a person in the palace, but also able to invite brother Bai, he must be a member of the royal family.

I heard that His Majesty's beloved daughter, Princess Qingluan, is a student of Aunt Gongsun.This woman is as beautiful as a fairy of Luoshen. She is a mysterious girl from the Nine Heavens who descended to earth. She is skilled in swordsmanship and often plays games with a green bamboo stick.

I don't know if the girl can recognize it? "

Princess Qingluan looked at the jade-like green bamboo stick in her hand, her white teeth and star eyes, and smiled sweetly.

……

Princess Qingluan reproduced to Fang Shuliu the process of Aunt Gongsun's assassination of His Majesty.

After Fang Shuliu listened, he tapped his fingers on the tea table, and said in a deep thought: "This matter is really puzzling. There have been similar things in the past, but the assassins either fell into illusions such as the soul-stirring technique, or they themselves were" Zombie medicine man', manipulated by people with witchcraft.

But according to the princess, before the assassination, Aunt Gongsun had a clear and clear Lingtai, and her words were meticulous, unlike these two types of situations. "

Bai Fu said: "There are only so many clues, is there any other way to deduce the murderer?"

Fang Shuliu said: "When we decide a case, we first look at two points: what is the perpetrator's motive? Who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?"

As the princess said, your master has a good relationship with the royal family, especially he has known His Majesty for many years, so he has absolutely no motive for assassinating. "

Bai Fu said, "Is it the second possibility?"

Fang Shuliu looked puzzled and said, "If His Majesty dies, who will benefit the most?"

Princess Qingluan said: "Aren't they An Qingxu and Shi Siming?"

Bai Fu said: "Obviously they are not rebels. The puppet Yan is gone. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Siye, Zhang Hao and other Jiedu envoys are all experienced generals. Even if there is a change in the court, it will at most affect the time of counter-insurgency, and will not change the counter-insurgency. result."

There are some words that Bai Fu did not say: "Now that the Supreme Emperor returns to Chang'an, Suzong has lost his position again, and there are two masters in the sky, it is a strange time.

An Qingxu, Shi Siming and others probably looked forward to it every day, cursing the emperor and the Supreme Emperor to have a snipe and clam fight.How could he get rid of his confidant's troubles for the Supreme Emperor for no reason? "

Thinking of this, Bai Fu and Fang Shuliu looked at each other, and saw the fear in each other's eyes—the answer seemed to be ready.

Since Princess Qingluan was present, neither of them said anything clearly.

Fang Shuliu said: "There is another doubtful point in the assassination process. I wonder if Brother Bai has noticed?"

Bai Fu kept silent, suddenly picked up a chopstick from the side of the tea table, stabbed Fang Shuliu like lightning!

The incident happened in a hurry, without any warning, Princess Qingluan screamed and stood there dumbfounded, watching the chopsticks stab Fang Shuliu's throat!
Seeing that Catching God was about to splatter blood on the spot, Bai Fu stopped his hands instantly, and the tip of the chopsticks trembled slightly within an inch of Fang Shuliu's throat.

Fang Shuliu nodded.

Princess Qingluan let out a long breath, couldn't help but beat Bai Fu with her slender hands, and said angrily, "I'm scared to death!"

Bai Fu said to Princess Qingluan: "I imitated the speed of Aunt Gongsun's shot, and your angle is almost the same as that of Concubine Zhang Shu at that time.

If you didn't have time to react, how could Concubine Zhang Shu have time to rescue her, push His Majesty away and stand in front of her? "

Fang Shuliu said with a smile: "Either Concubine Zhang Shu has been hiding the fact that she knows martial arts at the top, or she knew in advance that Aunt Gongsun would assassinate at this moment!"

Princess Qingluan froze on the spot!

……

In Daming Palace, Su Zong walked back and forth in the bedroom, restless.The secret of Concubine Zhang Shu's high-level martial arts skills was known to Emperor Suzong when she was still Emperor Liang.

After the troops were divided from Maweipo to the north, they encountered dangers along the way. Every night when going to bed, Zhang Liangdi would take the initiative to sleep on the outside of the bed, keeping Li Heng behind.

Li Heng sighed: "If an assassin breaks in here, he must be a top expert. What's the use of you sleeping outside? You can hide tonight, but you can't hide tomorrow night."

But Zhang Liangdi said: "Now the army is in turmoil, and the guards are constantly fleeing. The guards who are not in order have ulterior motives and want to use your golden body to claim credit.

The concubine has practiced martial arts since childhood, although it is not considered to be highly skilled in martial arts, but in case of danger, the concubine is not inferior to a man!Even if he is not an assassin opponent, at least he can fight to the death to cover His Majesty's evacuation. "

When Aunt Gongsun assassinated, Concubine Zhang Shu was able to block the fatal blow.Su Zong did not doubt this.In order to save Suzong's life, Concubine Zhang Shu almost died under the golden hairpin.This made Su Zong very moved.Fortunately, Concubine Shu's life is safe, otherwise I will be hard to let go.

How to repay Concubine Zhang Shu who has made great contributions to saving her family?

Suzong was worried.Of course Suzong knew what Concubine Shu wanted.But Concubine Shu's own son, King Xing Li Bi, is only three years old.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and Suzong's first consideration was of course Li Chu, king of Chu.Among the princes, Li Chu is the oldest at 33 years old, and he has made great military achievements in recovering the two capitals.The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all praised.

If Li Xing Wang Li Chu is the crown prince, where will Chu Wang Li Chu be placed?

When hesitating, Suzong chatted with Li Kui, a doctor of meritorious service who also knew Zhigao.After hearing this, Li Kui immediately kowtowed and said, "If the king of Chu is made the prince, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty!"

At this moment, Su Zong was both gratified and frightened.Fortunately, he, the eldest son of the emperor, has won the respect of all civil and military officials.What's frightening is that Li Chu, king of Chu, was so brilliant that he even won the support of military commanders such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.

Back then, because of the relationship between Hexi and Longyou Jiedu Envoy Huangfu Weiming, Hedong and Shuofang Jiedu Envoy Wang Zhongsi and himself, the Supreme Emperor spared no effort to eradicate these two imperial generals.

Is this scene going to repeat itself again?
Suzong couldn't sleep at night, thinking over and over again the same question as Fang Shuliu: If he died, who would benefit the most?
The answer is obvious, either his father, the Supreme Emperor, or his own son Chu Wang Li Chu.

I'm afraid some things have to be done as soon as possible.

……

In the third year of Zhide, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Supreme Emperor Li Longji ascended to the Xuanzheng Hall, and officially conferred Li Heng as the tenth emperor of the Tang Empire with official documents, and added the honorary title: Emperor Xiaogan, the Great Sage of Guangtian Wenwu.

Li Heng also presented Li Longji's honorary title: Supreme Supreme Taoist Emperor Tiandi.
