Li Shimin

Chapter 461 Who Wants to Assassinate King Jin?

Seeing this, Li Wei slowly cupped his hands, and hurriedly backed out.Li Chang led Li Wei to the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Li Wei heard the heart-piercing wailing of those Turkic barbarians, his expression changed, and he walked in quickly.

"Commander Li?"

"Hey, why is Commander Li here?"

Zheng Fu, Hou Laosi and the others all greeted each other with chuckles.

"Zheng Dianjun, General Hou!"

Seeing that half of the Turkic bandits had not been tortured, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly greeted Zheng Fu, Hou Laosi and others.

"A certain came here this time, with the permission of the king, to take away four Turkic thieves and interrogate them personally!"

Li Wei said.

"Since the king agrees, you can choose whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fu glanced at Li Chang who was following behind him, seeing these tragic scenes, the butler Li Chang who was still expressionless, nodded slightly in agreement.

"Thank you Zheng Dianjun!"

Li Wei hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, picked out four Turkic thieves who were still in good spirits, and walked out.

And those four Turkic thieves, when they followed Li Wei out, there was a glint of joy in their eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

After Li Wei left, Li Chang came to the main house again, watching Li Xuan hesitate to speak.

"Steward, tell me, in the Tang Dynasty, what forces can bring these Turkic barbarians with bows and arrows into Chang'an City and hide them. Moreover, they also know that the king is going back to the palace for a banquet today?"

Li Xuan asked softly.

"Your Majesty, the ones who know that your Majesty is going to the banquet are the dukes and county kings who came with His Majesty a few days ago, as well as a few young men, and the servants in charge of the banquet in the palace. The officials of the temple..."

Li Chang quickly replied.

Guanglu Temple, in charge of wine, delicacy, food and shame, led the four departments of Taiguan, Yaozang, Liangming, and Zhangying.

Such a huge state banquet in Weiyang Palace must be organized by Guanglu Temple!

"People like Tang Jian, Fang Xuanling, and Li Xiaogong have no reason to harm me, and they will not reveal my king's whereabouts without reason. Then, the remaining people are the officials of Guanglu Temple and the servants in the palace!"

Li Xuan muttered to himself, "However, the servants in the palace are all selected by His Majesty himself, and it is rare for an servant to collude with outsiders. Then, the most likely collusion with the people behind these Turkic barbarians is The officials of Guanglu Temple..."

It was the first time someone assassinated him. Although he didn't suffer any injuries, Li Xuan still has lingering fear and anger.

He was already very careful and kept a low profile, yet someone wanted his life!
At the same time, in Chang'an City.

A group of forbidden troops had already closely guarded the officials in charge of the state banquet in Guanglu Temple, as well as the servants in Weiyang Palace.

Unexpectedly, a group of Turkic thieves, carrying bows and arrows, assassinated King Jin on Zhuque Street.

This kind of vicious thing happened for the first time in Datang.

In the city of Chang'an, all noble families, regardless of martial arts, were terrified and shuddered after hearing the news.

For a whole day, Chang'an City fell into silence, and the ordinary people could feel the turmoil in Chang'an City.

Especially those who were in charge of the aristocratic families stayed at home all day, fearing that the tyrannical King Jin would hit the door directly with two big hammers.

However, their worries were obviously unnecessary.

Li Xuan in Lijiazhuang just sat quietly on the sofa, or went up to see Cui Mi, or played with Li Xiong for a while, and then went to inspect the glass shed, just like in the past. calm.

However, Li Shimin, who has been paying attention to Lijiazhuang, is tense all over.

"Erlang doesn't need to be like this, Xuanba didn't directly carry two hammers and went to the city to trouble those aristocratic families, which is already the best result!"

Inside the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun comforted her in a slow voice.

"The servant girl Guanyin also thinks that this matter is caused by those aristocratic families behind the scenes?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, why should you deceive yourself!"

Empress Changsun sneered, "It's either the nobles in the city, or the people of the family. However, how could those princes and princes of the state and county go to trouble Xuanba? They don't have any conflict of interest at all!

Moreover, the loss outweighs the gain! "

"No wonder Xuanba has always been hostile to those aristocratic families!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "They are still as arrogant as ever!"

Sure enough, on the second day, Li Wei reported to Li Shimin that two people who had passed on the news to the outside were interrogated in the Gourmet Collection Office of Guanglu Temple. Messages from the outside world.

The source of these people all point to Taiyuan.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face turned dark.

"Okay!"

With a sneer, Li Shimin continued to ask: "Those Turkic thieves, have you confessed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, those Turkic thieves are very weak and can't stand the torture, so they will confess in an hour!"

Li Wei quickly replied.

"How did they get into Chang'an City?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, they came in from various gates of Chang'an City with some convoys, and then gathered in the backyard of a shop. Under the leadership of another person, they entered the carriage again and came to wait downstairs in the shop where King Jin was ambush. .

When King Jin's convoy arrives, he shoots arrows directly at King Jin..."

Li Wei reported in detail.

"However, those Turkic thieves seem to be slaves from Goguryeo or Gaochang. As long as they assassinate His Highness King Jin, they can be set free!"

……

When Li Wei reported to Li Shimin, Zheng Fu and others also took out those Turkic thieves.

"Goguryeo and Gaochang Kingdom?"

Hearing Zheng Fu's report, Li Xuan was also slightly stunned, "Butler, did this king have any hatred or conflict with these two small countries?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, these two small countries are thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, and there is no conflict at all!"

Li Chang said quickly.

"Tsk tsk..."

Li Xuan sneered, "Go and call Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde hurried to the other courtyard.

"The villain sees the king!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, who owns the shops in Chang'an City, you are all familiar with it!"

Li Xuan said directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the two of us know all the owners of shops in Chang'an City like the back of our hands!"

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde said quickly.

"Very good!"

Li Xuan chuckled, "You can think about it, where is this shop? This king will definitely find it!"

After speaking, he handed over a dozen transcripts from the Turkic thieves to Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde.

"This person should have entered through the Golden Palace Gate and came directly to the shops in the West Market. With such a distance, there are many shops..."

"This person also entered through the Golden Palace Gate... this person is opening the far gate..."

"This person is Chunmingmen, this is going to Dongshi..."

There are a total of more than ten interrogation transcripts, and half of the transcripts are similar.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde looked at it carefully, and when they looked at Li Xuan again, they were already amazed.

"My lord, if this kind of detailed record is added with the identification of the Turkic thieves, the villain only needs to go to the East and West Market to find out where these Turkic thieves are staying!"

"Very good!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then shouted at Li Chang.

"Piercing this king, I want to see for myself, who wants to kill me so much!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang didn't dare to delay, he quickly brought two servants to bring Li Xuan's armor over, and put it on for Li Xuan.
