Chapter 298 Rumors
What Li Chengqian said was inadvertent, at best it was just gibberish after drinking.

But the speaker has no intention, and the listener has the intention. In the eyes of everyone at the banquet, Li Chengqian and Li Ke are incompatible. Li Chengqian is worried that Li Ke will threaten his position as the crown prince after returning to Beijing, so it is not impossible to send assassins to assassinate Li Ke.

After all, compared with the Xuanwu Gate incident eight years ago, the Assassin's Way is much gentler and more respectable.

A tiger father has no dogs, and an ambitious wolf father will not give birth to a litter of honest and well-behaved dogs. With Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin "before the jewels and jade", Li Chengqian assassinated Li Ke. Although others are surprised, they will believe it. After all, even if it was drunk, it was also from Li Chengqian himself.

The words of the emperor leaked out, let alone the crown prince, and when Li Chengqian spoke drunkenly, there were not a few people present.

And in this world, where is the best news?Nature is a place full of people talking.

And if you talk about where the people in Chang'an City are the most diverse, there are no more than two places, one is Pingkangfang, which borders Dongshi, where people of all colors gather, and the other is the harem where there are many factions and each has their own thoughts. .

In the harem, the eldest grandson empress is virtuous, and she has some skills. Naturally, the seat of the harem lord is secure, but it does not mean that the huge harem is harmonious. On the contrary, the struggle in the harem is not inferior at all. Yu Chaotang.Especially the Empress Changsun, who has one empress and four concubines who have children.

In the evening of that day, after Li Chengqian had been drunk for only two hours, the news had spread quietly.

Taiji Palace, Zhaoqing Palace, Li Ke's biological mother, the imperial concubine Yang's bedroom.

The Zhaoqing Hall is different from the Lizheng Hall where Empress Changsun lives. Although it is also adjacent to the Ganlu Hall, the emperor's residence, the daily flow of people here is much sparser than that of the Lizheng Hall. If Zhaoqing Hall itself is excluded The maids who waited could even be said to be ignorant at the door.

Contrary to the brilliance of Li Ke, the beloved son outside the palace, who even overwhelmed the crown prince Li Chengqian, as a noble concubine, the Yang family was really low-key and terrifying in the palace.

The so-called Noble Concubine, the head of the four concubines Noble, Shu, Virtuous, and Virtuous, originally had the right to assist the queen, control the concubines, and manage all palace affairs, but the Yang family has always been cautious, rarely intervening in palace affairs, and only caring about her own Zhaoqing. It seems that her title of noble concubine is just a fiction, and it is not as good as the other three concubines.

Logically speaking, Concubine Yang's son, Li Ke, has made great contributions to the country, and is favored by the emperor. He has a lot of prestige in the court. With such an excellent prince helping the court, Concubine Yang can be domineering, but Concubine Yang That's why, except for Li Shimin's summons, he seldom goes out every day, and only teaches his children in the palace, so he can enjoy it as much as he likes.

"Auntie, how do you pronounce this word?"

Li Ke's younger sister, Gao Yang, who is almost six years old, has reached the age of enlightenment. Although Gao Yang is a girl, she was born in the royal family and needs to know books and etiquette. Therefore, every evening is the time when Concubine Yang teaches Gao Yang to read. At this time, Gao Yang was holding a copy of "Thousand Character Essay", pointing at Concubine Yang and asking.

Concubine Yang looked down, and saw that Gao Yang's pink fingers were pointing at the word "Chen", so she said: "'Chen Su Lie Zhang', the word is pronounced Chen, didn't Auntie teach you this yesterday? Yet?"

Hearing the words, Xiao Gaoyang scratched his head and thought for a while, but he didn't seem to have a deep impression, so he said: "This word is too difficult to remember, Gao Yang can't remember it."

Concubine Yang and Concubine Yang didn't point out Gao Yangneng's literary talents, and her requirements for her were naturally not as good as those of Li Ke and Li Yin. Concubine Yang looked at Gao Yang's confused face, and couldn't help laughing: "You, every time In addition to remembering to play around and tease the palace people, what else can you remember, and when your Brother Chu returns to Beijing at the end of the year, when your schoolwork is tested, we will see how you cope."

Although Gao Yang is young, she also has a bit of a temper. She loves to argue with everyone, but she only listens to Li Keyan.

Gao Yang heard that Concubine Yang mentioned Li Ke, and immediately became serious, and replied: "All the palace people say that elder brother has the best literary talent among all the emperor brothers, and A Niang must be inferior to her brother. A Niang taught Gao Yang Ji No, but if elder brother comes back to teach me, I will definitely remember."

In Gao Yang's eyes, it seems that her memorization speed has nothing to do with herself, but depends on the person who taught her. If the person who taught her has a higher literary talent, she will remember it faster, and if the person who taught her has a lower literary talent, she will remember it. Slow down, Concubine Yang couldn't laugh or cry after hearing Gao Yang's words.

Concubine Yang could only patiently teach Gao Yang a few words, but at this moment, Ping'er knocked on the door lightly and entered the inner room.

"Your Majesty, news from the east." Ping'er said to Concubine Yang with a straight face as soon as she entered the door.

Concubine Yang looked at Ping'er, knew that what she said must be unusual, so she nodded, and ordered her confidant maid to look after Gao Yang, while she followed Ping'er into the inner room.

"What's the matter?" Li Ke first disappeared and then was assassinated. There are so many things happening recently, Concubine Yang asked hastily as soon as she entered the room.

Ping'er replied: "The eyeliner planted in the East Palace just now has news that the assassination of Xiao Lang in Luzhou seems to be related to the crown prince."

Although Concubine Yang looks like she is indifferent to the world in the harem, it doesn't mean that she really has no scheming. Unknowingly, with the help of his imperial concubine, he has spread his eyeliner in the palace, and Li Chengqian's East Palace is also in it.

Concubine Yang, as a widowed daughter of the former dynasty, is used to too many intrigues. Li Ke and Li Chengqian competed for the heir. How could Concubine Yang not know the danger? Ke laid out the palace.

"How do you say that?" Concubine Yang asked immediately.

Ping'er said: "This afternoon the crown prince entertained guests, during which he was drunk, and even said that he regretted that the Luzhou assassin failed to stab Xiaolang's throat, so that Xiaolang survived, which became a serious disaster."

Concubine Yang's face darkened immediately after hearing Ping'er's words.

Concubine Yang didn't know that Li Ke's assassination was a scene planned by Li Ke himself. Hearing the news from the East Palace, she only thought that Li Ke was assassinated, and Li Chengqian's involvement was indispensable in it, and she immediately became angry.

Concubine Yang has a calm temperament and is not good at fighting with others, but this does not mean that Concubine Yang is submissive. On the contrary, when someone really wants to hurt Li Ke's life, Concubine Yang will become the one who wants to kill Li Ke. Tigress who only thinks about protecting her cubs.

Concubine Yang said: "Since the crown prince has said this, how can we just let this matter go, if you don't beat him up a little bit, the tiger's head will inevitably suffer in the future."

Concubine Yang knew very well that although the assassination of Li Ke was a serious matter, if she went to impeach Li Shimin based on some rumors, it would be of no use. On the contrary, she would harm herself and Li Ke. impossible.

Concubine Yang thought about it for a moment, then said to Ping'er: "I will write a letter in hand later, tomorrow you will personally send Yin'er to Cen's residence to study, and then deliver this letter to Mr. Cen face to face."
