Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 118
While everyone was shocked, they were also thinking to themselves, who had the courage to assassinate a prince?
Although Li Changfeng seems to be very favored now, and has done something incredible.

But after all, he had just arrived in the capital, without any foundation, what did he do that made someone want to take his life?

I don't know who took the lead first, or people guessed it themselves, but many people looked at the sixth prince Li Ji who was full of doubts.

He didn't feel much shock when Li Changfeng was assassinated. Instead, he wondered why the assassin didn't kill Li Changfeng?

And more doubts.

Who took such a big risk to assassinate Li Changfeng?

After thinking about it, Li Changfeng seems to be the only enemy in the whole campaign, but the problem is, he didn't do it!
At this moment, Li Ji felt that many courtiers and princes all turned their attention to him.

Especially Li Jianye, with a gritted expression of wanting to eat his flesh.

The expression of the eldest prince Li Chengye was somewhat surprised, a little apprehensive, a little cold, and very complicated.

Huh?
What do you mean by looking at the prince?
Do you all think that this prince did it?
It seems... Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the prince who is most suspected.

Thinking of this, Li Ji suddenly panicked.

If everyone believes that he did it, then he will be completely finished, even if he does not die, Emperor Qianwu will have to beat him up and disable him.

The second prince was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Knowing that this is a rare opportunity to get rid of Li Ji, a competitor, he put on a furious expression, and asked loudly: "Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother has been staying in such a barren place as Baishi City for a whole ten years. You haven’t been assassinated, but now you have a conflict with you after returning to the capital, and you were assassinated, how do you explain this matter?!”

These remarks are almost blatantly saying that Li Ji is the one who sent someone to assassinate him.

Li Ji's complexion changed on the spot, he gave Li Shou a hard look, and retorted sharply: "Don't you want to spit blood!"

Immediately seeing Emperor Ganwu's gloomy face and dangerous gleams in his eyes, Li Ji couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with my son, I dare to swear to heaven!"

Emperor Ganwu smiled coldly, and asked in a cold tone: "Did I say you did it? Why are you so flustered? Could it be that this matter is really related to you?"

After getting the news, he immediately became suspicious of Li Ji.

After all, Li Changfeng had a feud with Li Jihua ten years ago, and he even beat him up in court a few days ago.

After all, in the entire court, only Li Ji had the most sufficient reason to kill Li Changfeng.

But Emperor Qianwu was not completely sure, nor was he willing to believe this conclusion.

Because he hoped that his sons would compete with each other so as to cultivate capable heirs, but he didn't want them to kill each other.

Really want to go to that step, but the greatest sorrow of the imperial family, he will never allow such a thing to happen.

Of course, there is another possibility, and that is the Fengtian Society.

Emperor Ganwu's question was more to test Li Ji and see how he would react.

But he didn't know his cold expression, and the three consecutive questions that each sentence was enough to associate with many fatal conjectures, frightened Li Ji out of his wits.

"Father!"

Li Ji fell to his knees with a plop, his face pale as paper, and he kowtowed heavily, with a panicked look on his face: "Father! Although you didn't say it was Erchen who did it, the way other people looked at Erchen clearly You are doubting my son, you are even doubting my son, right?!"

After all, he is an existence that can stand up to the first prince Li Chengye and the second prince Li Shou. Having said that, Li Ji has calmed down.

With a bright and upright expression, he said loudly: "I admit that I have a problem with Brother Nine Emperors, and I have always been worried about him beating my son when he was in power last time. I also questioned him about the water control in Shangzhou. But I know that The matter is serious, not to mention that he is still my son's brother, your son, father, the most I hope is that he will be punished, and I will not dare to kill him even if I give my son 1 guts!"

Speaking of this, Li Ji paused for a moment, bowed deeply to Emperor Ganwu, and said sadly: "Father, you shouldn't doubt my son, no matter how much my son doesn't like him, he is also my son's brother!"

After saying this, Li Ji actually shed tears.

On the contrary, the eldest prince did not choose to add insult to injury at this time.

It's not that he didn't want to, but when he observed that Emperor Qianwu's eyes became more gloomy after hearing Li Shou's words.

The eldest prince also saw a trace of disappointment and pain in Emperor Qianwu's gloomy eyes, and instantly realized that Emperor Qianwu didn't want to see brothers killing each other.

Of course, he didn't stand up and speak out. After all, if Li Ji did it, wouldn't he offend Li Changfeng?
You know, according to the plan, he wants to win over and use Li Changfeng.

Seeing that the eldest prince did not express any opinions, Murong Changkong, the uncle who had been worried about him, couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

He can also be regarded as the servant of Emperor Qianwu, and he knows Emperor Qianwu far better than Li Chengye. He knows that if he steps on Li Ji at this time, Emperor Qianwu will definitely be displeased.

At the same time, Murong Changkong was also lamenting that since Li Changfeng came to the capital, he was responsible for all the disturbances.

Even if he is not in the capital now, the turmoil about him has never stopped, and the waves are getting higher and higher.

Although Li Ji said very well, it can be seen from the eyes of the courtiers that not many people choose to believe it.

After all, it has always been extremely cruel for princes to compete for the throne, and there are countless such incidents in the history books. How could they easily believe Li Ji's one-sided words?
In such a situation, Li Ji felt that he had nothing to love.

Wrong!

It's so unfair!

He couldn't help looking at Li Chengye and Li Shou.

Could it be that these two bastards did it and wanted to put the blame on me?

Because there is no evidence, Emperor Ganwu couldn't be sure, so he immediately said coldly: "I hope what you said is true, if I find out that it was you who did it, I will never forgive you!"

Li Ji hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I also ask the emperor to investigate clearly, and return my son's innocence, and don't let the real murderer go unpunished!"

Emperor Ganwu was noncommittal, his expression returned to calm, and after looking around the crowd, he said with a blank expression, "Where is Zheng Yuande, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"

A middle-aged man with a resolute face in golden armor stepped forward, and the armor on his body squeaked, and he clapped his hands in a confident voice and said, "The end is here!"

"Order the Yulin Army to divide up thousands of troops to meet His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, and vow to keep him safe, and there will be no mistakes!"

Regardless of whether his prince or Fengtian would do it, Emperor Qianwu didn't want Li Changfeng to encounter any danger again.

Not to mention that Li Changfeng brought him the long-lost feeling of being a father, just starting from the national economy and the people's livelihood, Li Changfeng's mastery of artillery and firearms technology must not be the slightest mistake.

There are no soldiers in the world that Emperor Wu can't mobilize, but if every soldier is loyal to him and has no half-heartedness, the only one who can make him feel absolutely at ease is the Imperial Forest Army.

None of the princes and courtiers were surprised that Emperor Qianwu sent the Imperial Forest Army to meet Li Changfeng.

After all, the Imperial Forest Army was not only extremely loyal to the imperial family, but also the most powerful and best equipped army in the entire Daqian Dynasty.

But Emperor Qianwu's next words shocked everyone.

"All the princes, all the ministers of the court, when the Ninth Prince returns, go out of the city to greet him."

Emperor Ganwu finished speaking in an unquestionable tone, then got up and waved his hands, "Retire."

Then he turned and left.

After a brief silence, the courtiers couldn't help but whispered.

"All the princes and courtiers were sent out of the city to greet him. This specification is too amazing!"

"Throughout the ages, only the emperor went back to Beijing, or the general who went out to fight made great achievements. Li Changfeng's contribution to the flood in Shangzhou is not insignificant, but it is not so great. In terms of etiquette and law It's kind of inconsistent."

"Your Majesty's actions have already broken the rules. It can be seen how much he loves His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

……

Prime Minister Feng Quji looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Emperor Qianwu left.

Murong Changkong's expression was serious, while the Eldest Prince's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he thought to himself that this time Li Changfeng came back, he must find out his details.

Li Shou was expressionless, but he was relieved in his heart. He was thinking about how to let Li Ji take the blame and take the opportunity to get rid of this threat.

Li Ji secretly gritted his teeth and was about to go mad with jealousy, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart, almost vomiting blood.

Li Jianye, who had a good relationship with Li Changfeng, chased after Emperor Qianwu with a gloomy face.

At this time, Emperor Qianwu had already passed through the apse and walked towards the imperial garden, his brows were tightly frowned, and his mind was full of thoughts.

What he did seemed reckless, but it was actually a decision made after careful consideration.

He wants to take this opportunity to show his attitude, let everyone know how much he values ​​Li Changfeng, and prevent Li Changfeng from being hindered in his work in the future.

What's more, he is well aware of Li Changfeng's temperament, and he always likes to act in a low-key manner. He doesn't want others to know his talents, and he just wants to live his small life in peace.

The more he behaved like this, the more Emperor Ganwu would not give him such an opportunity, and the more he would push him to the forefront.

Only in this way can Li Changfeng do good things for him and gradually get rid of his lazy temper.

It has to be said that for Li Changfeng, Emperor Qianwu also took great pains.

Thinking of Li Changfeng's speed of returning to the capital, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "This bastard, he didn't hurry back to Beijing to deal with business after the work was over, he was so lazy all the way, he was so lazy!"

Gao Dali at the side bowed and smiled: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of this old slave, you have really wronged His Highness this time."

Emperor Ganwu glanced at him in surprise and said, "Why did you say that?"

Gao Dali chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the carriage of His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

Emperor Ganwu suddenly realized.

Li Changfeng's carriage is so perverted, he has witnessed it with his own eyes. It looks like it is made of high-quality wood on the outside, but the middle is actually inlaid with astonishingly thick refined steel.

The weight of this kind of carriage is naturally astonishing, and it is normal that it cannot lift the speed.

Thinking of this, Emperor Ganwu couldn't help but look a lot better. As long as Li Changfeng can come back safe and sound, why not be late?
At the same time, he also had a sense of urgency in his heart, secretly thinking that Li Changfeng must let Li Changfeng set up the artillery battalion and the musket battalion when he comes back this time.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, right?

As a qualified emperor, he had to think in the long run.

Just as he was thinking about this in his mind, Li Jianye's voice came from behind: "Father!"

Emperor Ganwu stopped and turned around, only to see Li Jianye walking quickly with an angry expression on his face, bowed and bowed and said: "Brother Jiuhuang was assassinated, it must be Brother Sixth Emperor, Father Emperor must be the master of Brother Nine Emperors!"
