The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2137 Gathering of Parties
This has to be suspicious.

It is nothing new for the royal family to fight among the princes because of the position of the crown prince. When Li Chengqian was the prince, his position was stable, but after all, Li Chengqian was someone who had experienced the life of the Prince of Qin.

Moreover, he is also a person who knows about the Xuanwu Gate incident.

Isn't it because of the crown prince's position, the emperor's position, that my father's emperor sent troops to the Xuanwu Gate and killed his uncle and uncle?

Because of this, even after his father ascended the throne and became emperor, his uncles were still restless and tried every means to remove father from that position and become emperor themselves.

They feel that their father's throne is not justified.

Perhaps when Li Chengqian was the crown prince, some people were eyeing his crown prince's position, but Li Chengqian didn't take it to heart.

Li Chengqian was the eldest son. After His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, he decreed that Li Chengqian be crowned as the crown prince. His position as crown prince was justified. Moreover, Li Chengqian was able to coordinate with him, and all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were satisfied with this crown prince.

Even though Yu Zhining was often critical at that time, Yu Zhining wanted to maintain Li Chengqian's image as a perfect prince, so he had strict requirements on Li Chengqian.

At that time, Li Chengqian was not the only one capable of being a prince, Li Ke, king of Wu, and Li Tai, king of Wei.

However, these two people have a very good relationship with Li Chengqian and have always supported Li Chengqian. Therefore, Li Chengqian's position is unshakable.

It's not that there is no one who wants to shake Li Chengqian's position, it's just that he doesn't want to be a prince, but in one step, he wants to be an emperor, and he wants to learn from his father.

But he didn't have that luck, nor did he have that strength, so he failed.

That person is Li Zhi, who took the risk for the sake of Wu Cairen.

Although all of this is an old thing, the competition for the crown prince has been indispensable in all dynasties.

Now, Li Chengqian also suspected that the assassination of Li Jue was done by Li Xiang.

After all, if Li Jue died, Li Xiang would lose his biggest competitor.

But turning around, if something happened to Li Jue, everyone in the court would know that it would be Li Xiang who benefited, and if someone used this to frame Li Xiang and wanted to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, what should I say?
Li Chengqian sighed.

At this moment, Lin'an also came back from outside.

"Lin'an." Li Chengqian called out.

"Your servant is here." Lin'an quickly bowed and stepped forward to answer.

"Let the people of Baiqisi keep the King of Yue under surveillance, no matter whether he is in Chang'an or in the fiefdom." Li Chengqian said: "Also, let Dali Temple investigate this assassination case."

"Yes." Lin'an replied.

Afterwards, the palace issued a decree to let E King Li Jue return to the palace as soon as possible.

Empress Su and Princess E also knew the news of Li Jue's assassination, and they were frightened for a while, until the eunuch next to Lin'an came to pass the news that Li Jue was fine, and they were relieved.

Li Jue just got married, if something really happened, how would Empress Su live?In addition, although it has nothing to do with the Wang family, her husband was assassinated just after Wang Yufan passed through the door. If something happened, wouldn't Wang Kaifan want to bear the name of Kefu?Wang Shouli, or even his family will suffer.

Because of this assassination case, it was almost a mess, especially in Wannian County.

The incident happened in the morning, and in the afternoon, Wannian County was in full swing.

Li Chengqian dispatched [-] elite left military guards to station in Wannian County. The leader was none other than Qin Ying who had just returned.

As for the Xuan family, it only took half an hour for Jin Yang to bring a dozen or so experts into the Wannian County Government Office.

Not long after, more than 50 imperial guards came to the palace, and they came to pick Li Jue back to the palace.

People from Dali Temple also came from Chang'an City to Wannian County.

All of a sudden, many people gathered in Wannian County.

Jin Yang aggressively led people into the government office, to the back house, and into Xuan Shijing's room where he was recuperating.

In the room, the county magistrate still didn't dare to leave, and the doctor didn't leave either. Instead, he was in the government office, treating other injured servants.

"What the hell is going on here?!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and the voice was undoubtedly full of anger.

At this time Li Jue was also in the room.

Jinyang is the fastest to come.

"My nephew met my aunt." Li Jue bowed his hands in a polite manner, "It's all my nephew's fault. Those people are here for my nephew."

"Je'er doesn't have to be like this." Jin Yang saw Li Jue covered in blood, and his anger dissipated a lot.

"The next officer will see Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, Your Highness Wan An." The county magistrate of Wannian County also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be too polite. Your Excellency sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhuangzi. I know the general situation. As for the specifics, please talk to me about it later." Jin Yang said.

"Yes." The magistrate of Wannian County said tremblingly.

It is said that this master is a rare kind, considerate and gentle person among royal princesses.

I'm afraid those people haven't seen what people look like when they are angry?
But it's true, the one lying unconscious on the bed is her husband, Princess Jinyang's son-in-law.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xuan Shijing is a first-rank official of the current dynasty, the prince and grand tutor, the Duke of Qi, and the Shangzhu Kingdom, but in the eyes of Princess Jinyang, Xuan Shijing is only her husband, Princess Jinyang's son-in-law.

Jin Yang walked to the side of the bed and looked at Xuan Shijing lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was pale, the clothes on his body had been cut to pieces by scissors to bandage the wound, and the whole bed was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs. smell.

And on the wooden frame beside the bed, the water in the copper basin has not had time to be replaced, it is still a basin of bright red blood.

"Your Highness, the doctor has already been diagnosed and treated. Fortunately, the Duke of the country is very skilled. Even if he was injured, he avoided the vital parts of his body. The biggest wound was a knife in the back, and the wound on his hand was caused by taking the assassin with his bare hands It was caused by the blade of the weapon." The county magistrate of Wannian County said.

Xuan Shijing and Li Jue went out on horseback without any weapons. If Xuan Shijing wanted to survive and fight back, he had to take the enemy's weapon. That's why his hands were so badly injured.

Jin Yang saw that there was a brocade handkerchief standing on the copper basin. That handkerchief was given to her husband by her, and he always carried it with him.

Li Jue said seeing his aunt staring at the side of the veil where the copper basin stood.

"Auntie, that handkerchief must have been tied to my uncle's hand. My uncle was fighting with the five assassins and his hand was injured. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold the weapon, so he tied his own hand to the handle of the knife. "
