Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1214 Love the beauty but not the country

Luoyang.

"Please mourn, Your Highness!"

In the East Palace, Xu Jingzong, a scholar of the University, accepted Qiandao to the prince.Yesterday, the prince's third son Li Yi, the king of Dunhuang County, died young.

Chengqian sat on the couch without saying a word.

Dr. Li was born to Zheng Shi, a concubine of the East Palace. He was born with congenital deficiencies and has always been weak and sick. Therefore, the emperor gave him the name of "medicine", but who knows, it was still broken.

"The sage has heard some rumors that the East Palace and Harem are a little uneasy. The sage asked me to ask the prince, is there any hidden reason behind the death of the king of Dunhuang County?"

Cheng Qian remained silent.

"The sage didn't believe it at first, but these rumors have spread all over the sky, and the sage needs an explanation."

"Does Mr. Xu think it's possible?"

As soon as Li Yi, the king of Dunhuang County, the third son of the prince, died, rumors quickly spread in Luoyang. At first, it was said that Li Yi's death had other reasons, and then it became more and more outrageous. Finally, some people even said that Li Yi was killed by poison.Later, they even pointed the murderer behind the scenes at Qin Liangdi, who had just given birth to the prince's fourth son.

Qin Liangdi is the late daughter of the late King Zhongwu of Qi, and also the half-sister of Qin Lang, the current Taibao. The prince of the county is a higher rank, and he is the same prince as his elder brother Li Xiang, which shows his honor of being favored.

Therefore, there are rumors in Beijing that the sage wants to abolish the elders and establish the young, and to abolish the king of Qin Li Xiang and establish the king of Lu Li Xian.Of course, for this kind of rumor, most people would just laugh it off after hearing it, and no one would believe it.After all, although Li Xiang was also a son of a concubine, he was born of the Pei family who was ordered to commit suicide, but later he was adopted under the name of the crown princess Su family, and was raised by Su family himself. The name of grandson, but because the princess concubine Su can't give birth, she has long been the status of the eldest son of the prince.

Although Qin Liang Di was born noble and was the daughter of a general of Wu Xun, she was still only the crown prince Liang Di, and her son was only ranked fourth, how could she overwhelm the King of Qin?

Originally, no one took this kind of gossip seriously, but when the prince's third son Li Yi died suddenly, the rumor became more and more evil.

The emperor was also alarmed.

There is obviously someone behind this matter who is secretly promoting it, and there is no wave without wind.

The emperor asked Xu Jingzong to ask Chengqian first, in fact, he hoped that Chengqian could handle this matter well.

"Qin Liangdi has just given birth and is not yet confinement, how is it possible?"

"On the contrary, King Lu is still in his infancy. He has already encountered an accident and almost had an accident. If Qin Liangdi hadn't found out in time, King Lu would have disappeared like the King of Dunhuang County."

"Gu is very angry now, and wants to know more than anyone else, who has the courage to attack Gu's heir frequently!"

Xu Jingzong looked at the angry prince and was secretly startled.

"King Lu also encountered assassination? Please also tell the details to the prince, so that he can present it to the saint."

·······
"Does Your Highness know who did it?"

"I don't know, but I remember that Wei Gong once told me such an article before. When things happen, there are benefits, and the owner will do them. If there are harms, they will be investigated secretly. It is based on the theory of knowing the Lord. If the country is harmed, those who benefit from it will be spared, and if the minister is harmed, those who are against it will be judged."

As a university scholar, Xu Jingzong is of course very clear about the source and meaning of this passage. It means that something happens and there are benefits, and it is presided over by someone with a deal.If there is harm, it must be observed secretly from the negative side.Therefore, the clear comment of the monarch is that if the country suffers, it is necessary to check who benefits, and when the courtiers suffer, it is necessary to find out who is his opposite.

There are interests between the monarch and ministers, but sometimes the interests are the same, such as the rise and fall of a country.Sometimes the stakes are different, for example, when the emperor dies and the minister prospers, such as when the minister dies and the monarch prospers, etc., when the country is in crisis, whoever makes the country rich is the enemy.

If a person is victimized, he must first find his enemy.

In fact, in future generations, these are the motives.

Qin Lang once said this passage to Cheng Qian very concisely, with motivation, there will be action, and with action, there will be results, so the core of this passage is to find people who benefit, whoever gains, Whoever has a motive.

If the young doctor Li is killed, who will benefit?Li Xian, who was just born, was not let go either. This motive is obvious.

"Gu Xiang regards Mr. Xu as his confidant, please Mr. Xu help me!"

Xu Jingzong felt a little tricky, he thought it was just an errand assigned by the emperor casually, but who knew that this matter was so complicated.

No wonder the emperor personally intervened, it seems that there is something inside.

He turned around quickly in his mind.

The prince has only four sons, the third and fourth were murdered, so who benefited? Simply think, the eldest and second must have benefited, and the eldest and second are all adopted under the name of the crown princess Su, so Thinking about it, it seems that the beneficiary is the crown princess, and the crown princess is also the most suspected motive.

Is it really that simple?
"Xu Gong also knows that Gu and the Su family have always been at odds..."

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Xu Jingzong interrupted Chengqian hastily. At the beginning, Chengqian and the Su family divorced. This incident caused so many storms that they almost lost the crown prince. How can we bring up this matter now.

Chengqian closed his mouth.

"Since the sage asked Mr. Xu to ask Gu, all the solitary told the truth. Li Yi must have been murdered by a traitor. They also wanted to murder Shiro. Please tell Mr. Xu to the saint, and we must investigate this matter clearly."

·······
Xu Jingzong came to Shangyang Palace with anxiety.

The emperor was silent for a long time after listening.

a long time.

"Summon Xu Luoren, the commander of Baiqi, and Li Junxian, the governor of the town, immediately!"

The two commanders arrived in a hurry.

"Immediately and thoroughly investigate the matter of the two emperor's grandsons in the East Palace being murdered by traitors."

Wait for the two to retreat.

Li Shimin asked his servants to summon the eunuch in charge of the Dianqian Division.

"Secretly check the Crown Princess Su."

Zheng's grandson Li Yi was murdered, and Qin Liangdi's newly born emperor Li Xian was almost killed, which has cleared Qin Liangdi of all suspicions.The most suspicious person left is naturally the Su family.

·······
Wait for everyone to back down.

Li Shimin was the only one left in the Hall of Eternal Life, and he sat in the hall a little lonely.

After a long time, he got up and came to the case, and took out the notebook that Qin Lang handed over not long ago.

This excerpt is Qin Lang's thank you form.

Thanks to the emperor for his kindness to the Qin family, and then advised that Li Xian was still in his infancy, the emperor made an exception and granted him the title of Lord Lu, a general, and the title of governor of the capital, which violated the legal system of the country. Children are not a good thing.

Advise the emperor to take back the reward order.

When he first returned to the memorial, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to it, but now that something like this happened, he couldn't help but feel heavy.

Could it be that he was almost murdered because he made an exception and loved Li Xian too much?

Thinking about the relationship between the crown prince and the Su family these years, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing again. Although the crown prince and the Su family are harmonious on the surface and have never had any quarrels, as far as he knows, the crown prince has never met the Su family again. On the surface, it is rare for a couple to see each other face to face, and they don't say a word.

Now that such a thing happened again, it made him start to doubt whether it was right for him to force Chengqian back then.

Think for a long time.

The emperor issued an edict.

"The emperor's grandson Li Jue was granted the title of King Chen, and the emperor's grandson Li Yi was posthumously given the title of former king, Sikong, and governor of Yizhou, with a posthumous title of mourning."

The Donggong case has been investigated by many parties. I thought the truth would be revealed soon, but who knew that the more investigations became more chaotic.

Various problems were found.

"How did the matter get involved with the King of Han?"

Looking at the secret memorial sent by Li Junxian and the investigation report above, the emperor screamed and lost his voice.

Li Yuanchang, King of Han, was the seventh younger brother of Li Shimin.Among Li Shimin's brothers, Jiancheng, Shimin, Xuanba, and Yuanji are brothers of the same mother.

Before Li Yuan became emperor, he gave birth to five sons. In addition to the four brothers born to Dugu's Jiancheng, there was also a concubine, Li Zhiyun, the concubine's son. When Li Yuan rebelled, he was captured and executed by the Sui army.

After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he accepted many concubines and gave birth to many sons. Especially in the nine years after he abdicated, he had nothing to do all day long, just enjoying his sensuality, and he gave birth to a bunch of children.

The old Liu Yuanjing and the old Qi Yuanchang were all born in the first year of Wude.At the beginning of Yuanjing, he was granted the title of King Zhao, and at the beginning of Yuanchang, he was granted the title of King Lu.

After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he changed Yuanchang to be King of Han.

This young man who is almost 20 years younger than the emperor was only a child when the Xuanwumen Palace was changed, but he is considered a versatile man in both civil and military affairs when he grows up. He is good at official script, has superb painting skills, and has courage. There are good genes from the old Li family.

There is even a bit of literary and artistic atmosphere on him, but his behavior is a bit unconventional.

When he was appointed by Li Shimin as the governor of Liangzhou, he did many things that violated laws and disciplines in the local area, and Li Shishi often criticized this old seventh.

Lao Qi has been criticized a lot, and he also has some resentment towards this elder brother.

Originally, Yuanchang was also a prince at any rate, and he would not worry about being rich in this life, but now the Zhenfu Division investigated the murder of the emperor's grandson in the East Palace.

It wasn't that Yuan Chang was found out to be harming his nephew, but that he was related to another matter.

When the Zhen Fusi investigated the case of the emperor's grandson, he first focused on investigating the people of the Eastern Palace, and then found Lang Jiang Hegan Chengji from a guard of the Eastern Palace.

However, Hegan Chengji was found to be implicated in Qi Wang Li You who was murdered for rebellion, and after further investigation, he was found to be Han Wang Yuanchang.

The existing evidence obtained by Li Junxian shows that Hegan Chengji was originally Chengqian's confidant, but when the prince was almost abolished before the prince, Hegan Chengji was also convicted and demoted from the East Palace.He went to ask Chengqian to intercede and save him from being demoted, but Chengqian ignored him.

So the degraded Hegan Chengji harbored resentment, and he secretly sold some of the secrets he had about the prince to Li Tai, king of Wei.

Hegan Chengji became a member of Wei Wang Li Tai, and then he began to work secretly for Li Tai. He contacted Han Wang Yuanchang and Qi Wang Li You, the princes of the clan and princes, and even contacted some former Eastern Palace princes. Those who were accepted by the prince, and then some people who were demoted.

At that time, the prince and the king of Wei fought fiercely, the prince fell out of favor, and the king of Wei was proud. Hegan Chengji and others thought that Chengqian would be abolished, and the king of Wei would be the new prince, so they all turned to the family of the king of Wei.

Li Yuanchang was originally about the same age as his nephew Li Tai. They were both students of the Chongxian Hall at the time. Both of them are good at calligraphy and painting with a bit of literary flavor, so they are usually quite amicable.

Yuan Chang and Li Tai once had their arms cut and bled. They tried it on silk, burned it to ashes, drank it with wine, and made a bond of blood.Yuanchang even put forward a request at that time, saying that he hoped that His Majesty would become the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, and the ministers had nothing to ask for except to see the imperial gift, and there was a pipa palace man who was even good at playing the pipa.

Yuan Chang fell in love with a beautiful woman playing the pipa next to Li Shimin, and hoped that when Li Tai became emperor in the future, it would be enough to give him this palace man.

A true beauty lover does not love the country.

Of course Li Tai nodded in agreement.

But who could have imagined that not long after, the matter of seizing the heirloom took a turn for the worse, and the emperor suddenly decided to continue protecting the crown prince. After some slashing, Li Tai's dream of becoming a crown prince was shattered.

Those alliances and oaths at the beginning were immediately ignored.

Who knew that a few years later, the emperor would still conduct a comprehensive investigation into the East Palace because of the death of an emperor's grandson. After many investigations, Hegan Chengji was found out, and then he was led to King Qi Li You, then to King Yuanchang of Han, and then to King Yuanchang of Han... On the head of Wei Wang Li Tai.

It can be described as pulling up carrots and bringing up mud.

What was found out of this investigation scared Li Junxian enough, he didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly reported it to the emperor face to face.

Li Shimin looked at this thing and was also stunned.

Who would have thought that this would be found.

The emperor sealed the secret fold.

But after a while, I couldn't help but opened it again and continued to read.

After watching for a while, the emperor couldn't help but angrily took pictures of the royal case.

Because many people were brought out from behind.

A group of people who were originally the princes of the East Palace, such as Hou Junji, the former Eastern Palace Qianniu Helan Chushi, Yangzhou Inspector Zhao Jie, and Zuowei Zhonglang General Li Anyan, all turned to Wei Wang Litai.

Although the original battle for reserves has subsided for several years.

But Li Shimin never expected that Wei Wangtai, who is usually benevolent and filial, would act like this behind his back.

What made him even more angry was that Li You's rebellion had an inseparable relationship with Li Tai's party. Hegan Chengji had frequent secret letters before and after Li You's rebellion. Gan Chengji also persuaded Li Tai to join forces.

They also planned to take advantage of Li Anyan's opportunity to rule the imperial army, conspired to launch a mutiny, and wanted to create another Xuanwu Gate.

Although Li Tai did not agree with their plan in the end, he just said that the time has not come yet.

Rebel!

Evil beast!

Li Shimin cursed angrily.

He once sincerely thought that Li Tai was much better than Chengqian, both talented and filial, but who knew that he had been lying to himself, everything was a disguise.Up to now, they still want to seek the crown prince.

Although Li Junxian hadn't found out who the person who murdered Doctor Li Li Xian was, he accidentally found out such a shocking case.

When this happened, Li Shimin couldn't cover it up.

This is not just a brotherly dispute between Li Tai and Chengqian, it also involves many courtiers, even his general of the forbidden army has already conspired to change the palace, if you don't do anything, it will be too late.

"Lizhao Taiwei's eldest son Wuji, University scholar Xu Jingzong, Dali Temple minister Sun Fujia, Yushi doctor Han Zhongliang, Minister of punishment Liu Dewei and others entered the palace!"
