Man Tanghong

Chapter 469

Ling Jing didn't know whether to say that Li Shimin was a brave man, or that Li Shimin was greedy.

"Okay, it's not our turn to ask what my second brother will do. What happened in the palace, and what will happen afterwards, is probably like this.

The reason why I keep you is that there are two things that need you to check. "

Li Yuanji didn't want to say anything more about Li Shimin's topic, and what to do was his freedom. What they talked about here and there couldn't affect Li Shimin's choice.

So Li Yuanji interrupted the topic decisively and started talking about business.

When Ling Jing heard that he was asked to investigate something, he immediately said cheerfully: "Your Majesty already knows that it is definitely not that simple for His Highness to keep you here."

Li Yuanji gave Ling Jing a blank look, and said, "When I was in the palace, I found two things that I didn't understand. Go and check for me."

Without waiting for Ling Jing to speak, Li Yuanji continued: "One thing is that Xiao Yu and Xiao Pushe pleaded for my elder brother. I want to know how my elder brother asked Xiao Yu for help when he was in trouble. What kind of benefits to Xiao Yu, let Xiao Yu work so hard to help him."

Ling Jing was stunned and said: "Could it be that Xiao Yu fell to His Highness the Crown Prince, if this is the case, then His Highness the Crown Prince has gained a lot of help."

Li Yuanji glared at Ling Jing, and said angrily: "You have a little brain, how could Xiao Yu fall for my elder brother? If he wanted to fall for my elder brother, why didn't he fall for my elder brother when my elder brother was in full bloom?" , but when my elder brother was dying, did he fall to my elder brother?
If it were you, choosing between my elder brother and second brother, you wouldn't be able to fall for my elder brother at this time, right? "

Ling Jing smiled awkwardly: "That's true..."

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and continued: "So I concluded that my elder brother must have promised Xiao Yu some great benefits, so Xiao Yu went to Ganlu Hall to speak for him.

However, the benefits he promised to Xiao Yu should be very limited, otherwise Xiao Yu would not be able to back down when he needed to block Guanjue to help him.

This is a clue, you can follow this clue to check. "

Ling Jing asked in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Everything that happened in Ganlu Palace is wonderful. I will tell you in detail when this matter comes to a conclusion and some rumors spread."

Now is not the time to chat, there is no need for Li Yuanji to waste time, breaking apart everything that happened in Ganlu Hall and telling Ling Jing, Ling Jing only needs to know the general idea.

"it is good!"

Ling Jing didn't chase after him to get to the bottom of it, but readily agreed.

Li Yuanji continued: "The other thing is that the concubines in the palace are biting my elder brother to death. You also know that my father's concubines, especially the concubines, are difficult to be threatened by outsiders, so I very much I want to know what kind of method the people behind the scenes used to let them bite my elder brother to death."

Ling Jing's expression changed slightly: "What else is there?"

Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing.

Ling Jing hurriedly said: "I mean, are all the saint's concubines like this? They all killed His Highness the Crown Prince with one bite, and no matter what methods the saint uses, they didn't let go?"

Li Yuanji said: "Only those involved."

Ling Jing said dumbfoundedly: "What I'm talking about is the person involved."

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, and said angrily, "It's because you didn't speak clearly."

Ling Jing nodded hastily and said, "Yes, yes, the minister did not speak clearly."

After saying this, Ling Jing said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, then this matter should have nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Li Yuanji frowned slightly, and said, "You mean this matter has something to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Ling Jing nodded and said: "Only the Ministry of Internal Affairs can make many concubines in the harem speak with one voice."

Li Yuanji couldn't believe it: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has such a great ability?"

Ling Jing said with a smile: "My lord, don't underestimate the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all close ministers of the saint.

For many things, when the saints did not give a clear answer, they can do it according to their own wishes.

In addition, except for the saint, you, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness King Qin, and some favored county kings, the rest of the people in the palace have to live by their faces.

It is too easy for them to handle these people. "

Li Yuanji still didn't believe it, and asked, "Including my father's favorite concubine?"

Ling Jing smiled and nodded, "Including the saint's favorite concubine."

Li Yuanji shouted: "How is that possible? They are my father's favorite concubines. With my father's protection, how dare the Ministry of Internal Affairs take advantage of them?"

Ling Jing laughed and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs can't control them, and they can't control the people around them? As long as they can control all the people around them, is it any different from controlling them?
In the past, His Highness did not see this kind of thing, because doing so would be extremely risky, and if he was not careful, he would be stabbed to the saint, and the whole Ministry of Internal Affairs would also be bloodied as a result.

Therefore, those in power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not easily do this. "

Li Yuanji still didn't believe it, and couldn't help saying the name of one of the key people, "Do you know that among the people involved this time is my father's favorite concubine Yin Defei!

She is often by my father's side, how dare the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of her? "

Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Concubine Yin De is also among them?"

Li Yuanji nodded solemnly.

Ling Jing said in disbelief: "In this way, His Royal Highness King Qin has committed suicide this time."

Li Yuanji glared at Ling Jing, and reminded: "Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, and be careful not to cause trouble!"

Ling Jing realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. After coughing dryly twice, he said, "The people behind the scenes actually let Concubine Yin De kill His Highness the Crown Prince in one bite. It seems that they have paid a lot of money."

Li Yuanji patted the case in front of him and said, "Did I ask you to talk about this?"

Ling Jing hurriedly said: "Although Concubine Yin De is favored and often stays by the saint's side, it's not impossible to handle."

Speaking of this, Ling Jing said with emotion: "As long as a person is a person, he will make mistakes, as long as someone can grasp these mistakes and force him to make more mistakes, he can firmly control them.

Concubine Yin De had been in the palace for only five years, and she was able to climb to her current position. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being favored by a saint.

If the minister's expectations are correct, she should have used a lot of shady means when she was favored by the saint and climbed up the ladder.

The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs should know that she used those shady methods and left evidence, so she had to be driven by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "

Li Yuanji said suspiciously: "But she is my father's favorite concubine. If she just made some small mistakes, even if she was stabbed to my father, my father would not treat her badly..."

"What if it's a big mistake?"

Before Li Yuanji finished speaking, Ling Jing asked cheerfully.

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, what big mistake can she make?"

Ling Jing chuckled and said, "She can make a lot of big mistakes, such as murdering a certain concubine during a fight for favor, or..."

Ling Jing didn't go any further when he said this, but Li Yuanji understood what he meant.

When Ling Jing was speaking, Li Yuanji had already guessed what mistakes Yin Defei could make, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs could use her as a handle.

"She murdered my younger brothers and sisters who were not born, or died shortly after they were born?!"

Li Yuanji frowned slightly and asked.

Ling Jing nodded his head and said, "Ninety-nine are inseparable, and there may be more than one. Otherwise, it is impossible for her to be manipulated to death in the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yuanji said quietly: "If that's the case, then her death is not a pity!"

Ling Jing nodded in agreement.

Tiger poison doesn't even eat babies, let alone humans.

Although Li Yuan's children born to other concubines have no blood relationship with her, she is still the elder of those children, and when those children call her, they also need to add the word "mother".

She murdered those children just like she murdered her own descendants.

So if she really did this kind of thing, then she doesn't deserve to be forgiven.

Although in the royal families of all dynasties, there were so many murders of the royal blood in order to fight for favor, but it is one thing to be noticed, and another thing not to be noticed.

If someone notices it, it is not a pity to die.

If no one noticed, and there is no evidence to prove that they have done such a thing, it is not easy to frame them.

However, in the harem of all dynasties, all the women who climbed to high positions in a very short time have more or less done this kind of thing.

Concubine Yin De, a young woman, without any background, was able to sit in the position of Concubine De, one of the four concubines, in just four years, saying that she had never done such a thing, Li Yuanji didn't believe it.

Concubine Yin De was born in a low family background. Her father, Yin Ashu, was a poor family member with little ability. Most of her brothers and sisters were mediocre and could not help her at all.

She can be said to be climbing up by her own strength, and her opponents are all people with a big background like Yuwen Zhaoyi (Yuwen Shiji's younger sister).

She can kill a bloody path among these people, and her hands and feet cannot be clean.

"Find out whether this matter is what we guessed, and by the way, check the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see who has such a great ability to control my father's favorite concubine."

After Li Yuanji roughly guessed why Concubine Yin De insisted on Li Jiancheng, he gave Ling Jing instructions.

Ling Jing nodded and said, "I will try my best to find out."

Li Yuanji said again: "I always feel that what we guessed is only part of the reason, and there is another part that we haven't guessed."

Ling Jing pondered and said: "Your Highness is saying that it is death for Concubine Yin De to hold on to His Highness the Crown Prince, and it is also death for her scandalous things to be revealed.

It's death anyway, why do you have to choose to bite His Highness the Crown Prince? "

Li Yuanji nodded solemnly.
