Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 694 Humans Are Strange Animals
At the end of the song, after the festive days, people all embarked on their return journey. Emperor Luanjia officially set off to return to Chang'an, the capital, while Li Chengqian waited on him in Longzhuo. The father and son were drinking tea while talking about the poems presented by Sun Fujia. this chapter.

A "strange" case happened in Chang'an City a few years ago. Several scholars in Li Tai's literature museum died in a separate garden, and all of them were bleeding from the seven orifices. However, the autopsy revealed that there was no poisoning. It can be said that the death was inexplicable. .

Because those who died were the cronies of the King of Wei, and they were all court officials, so the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple did not dare to slack off in the slightest. They carefully sifted through their personal relationships and the places they frequented. In the end, there was nothing left. get.These guys are typical literati. Apart from their errands, they just drink tea, drink alcohol, and compose poems. It is impossible to make enemies with others.

After the report was published, the emperor's first reaction was party disputes. It is no secret that Li Chengqian and his three brothers competed for the reserve. Therefore, it is not impossible to eliminate some officials from each other. It is inevitable that the lives of officials ordered by the court were affected It was too much, so Li Shimin was very annoyed.

But there was only one object of his suspicion, and that was Li Ke. Not to mention that Li Chengqian was not in Chang'an at the time, even if he wanted to target Li Tai, he would go directly to Qing Que and do it directly. There have been more than one such examples.

But Baiqisi found out after some investigation that Li Ke and his subordinates had nothing to do with these officials at all, and these nerds were also living in Li Tai, and they would not kill them if they wanted to. Kill these little characters.

Is there someone who wants the princes to once again set off internal fighting in the court, eh?There is a great possibility, so when Li Shimin set off to Luoyang, Li Shimin made up his mind to hand it over to Gao Ming for investigation, so that it could not be used by people with ulterior motives and let the world see the joke of the royal family. .
"Father, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, you are a young bird, so it's not in line with the rules for your minister to take care of you so much!" To be honest, Li Chengqian didn't want to take too much care of the little fat man. It's not because of the brother's disobedience, but because the people under him are a bunch of psychopaths in Li Chengqian's eyes.

Li Tai's standard for employing people is "talent-based". As long as you have the ability, he will accept everything no matter what your virtues are. Fish and dragons are mixed, and there are all kinds of birds.

Especially those so-called great Confucians, all of them are guys who like to pursue the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties most. Normal people can't accept those nonsense words and unconventional behaviors, and they don't know that the little fat man bought these strange things there .

However, although these people's brains are not normal, they don't hinder the operation of the court, and they don't involve the interests of the people.

Now the emperor asked him to investigate the cause of death of these people, of course he didn't want to. Living like this is a waste of air, death is a waste of land, and life is a waste of salary money.Anyway, there are plenty of such people under the fourth brother, so there is no need to waste your precious time on them.

Regarding Li Chengqian's answer, the emperor was no exception at all, because he knew very well in his heart that Gao Ming didn't want to take care of Qingque's affairs in his heart, and the fourth son's ignorance for so many years had already broken his elder brother's heart.Gao Ming's ability to not care about his small actions is already something that a big belly can tolerate.

"Okay, I know that you have a lot of errands, and they are all labor-intensive things. As a father, I can't be careless at all. I have already decided that after the case is over, Qingque will return to the fief and lead the Shannan West Road for virtue. The job of supervision will give you some peace of mind. So you still have to continue this case, or you will not live up to your father's intentions." After finishing speaking, he picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Chengqian .

The emperor was a typical repayment of kindness, and he made no secret of the conflicts between the three brothers. The small-faced Li Chengqian didn't know how to refuse, so after taking the tea with both hands, he nodded and agreed.

Then, I tried to ask: "Father, you are a member of the Literature Museum, so it is inevitable that you will use the Qingque. Can you not ask the fourth brother to come out to help organize it? This is convenient and saves a lot of trouble. What do you say?" Woolen cloth?"

The Literature Museum is one of Li Tai's lairs. There is a mess there, and there are many people and things that cannot be seen in the light. Since the emperor wants to send Li Tai out, he has to investigate the case openly, and can't take the opportunity to engage in other people's property.Otherwise, even if the emperor didn't say anything, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he didn't know how to flatter him. Li Chengqian would not do such a stupid thing.

Besides, is it so troublesome to engage Li Taiyong?The inner guard has a lot of things in his hands. As long as they come out and put them in front of the emperor, he will be dismissed and exiled. Dare to touch, let alone that little fat man.

"Well, yes, you brothers are of the same heart, I am optimistic about this, and I will wait for your brother's good news." After speaking, Li Shimin showed a meaningful smile on his face.

Humans are strange animals, they love each other and kill each other, and when they hate each other, they wish they could bite each other to death.Let's just talk about Li Tai, for this elder brother who has been oppressing his compatriots, he either has ordinary hatred in his heart, or because his light is too dazzling, so no one will remember who King Wei-Li Tai is.

But the situation is stronger than others. Someone moved the people of the Literature Museum. Not only did the father not hand over the case to him, but instead handed it over to the crown prince.

Any idiot would know that it was done by that bastard Li Ke, and the emperor asked the prince to come out to have sex with him. Isn't this obviously biased towards that bastard.Why, just rely on Li Ke's little cleverness?The anger in his heart made him unable to dispel it for a while.

"His Royal Highness, my eldest brother, do we still need to investigate this matter? It was the third child who did it. The people in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are masters who eat with people. You can find nothing by pointing at them!"

"Since those people are officials of the Wei Palace, I have the obligation to protect them. If they violated the law, then I have nothing to say, but what about him now, is that so?".
Li Tai was a little agitated, and kept shaking his fat belly in the frame, making the carriage wobble.And in the words, he pointed the finger at Li Ke, and said in no uncertain terms that he was the murderer.

Of course, Li Tai was not aimless. During the Shangyuan Festival, the two brothers fought openly because the prince was not in Chang'an, and they competed for the errand to preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple.In the end, Li Tai used a little trick to get this errand. Angrily, Li Ke uttered cruel words, and sooner or later he would show some color to him, so Li Tai must be the one who did it.

What Liu Hongji said was good, catching a traitor and catching a double, using a single harsh word to characterize a prince as a crime, isn't it a bit too arbitrary.Li Ke is not an idiot either. If you ask me this way, do you think that kid will go to the emperor to read a book.

Originally, Li Chengqian didn't want to take care of it, but now seeing the little fat man's death, he was even more angry, and then said lightly: "Okay, what you said is right, and it makes sense. Otherwise, the case Don't even bother to check, you take the guards to hack the third child to death, okay! This will save you worry, Father and Gu will no longer have to worry about the troubles of the two of you. Don't worry, the titles of King Wei and King Wu , I will guarantee to your son hereditary inheritance. Go!!!"

Li Tai was a scholar, he said it was okay, but he really didn't dare to let him chop someone with a knife.Seeing that the prince was impatient, he sat down with his lips pursed, put his hands on his big belly, and said reluctantly: "Your brother is just talking, do you need to be so serious? It's a big deal, you can do whatever you say." Already!"

Killing Li Ke, don't look at the joke, although this guy's kung fu is not as good as the prince, but he is also a person who is skilled in bow and horse. If he brings his guards to kill him, it is different from courting death, so he can only sit down and listen to the prince. said.

"Okay, since you are willing to listen to Gu, let's talk about the origins of these bachelors! To be honest, you don't need to talk about the nonsense of the officials. You know better than Gu what the people under your command are. ", Li Chengqian said calmly. .
