People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1055 Helping Li Xian escape the crime and causing Li Xuan to fall into trouble

The emperor's birthday is celebrated for three days.

On behalf of the emperor, the prince went to Luoyang Taixue to encourage learning, went to the Taiqing Palace to offer sacrifices, and went to the White Horse Temple to offer incense and so on.

The queen summoned ministers on behalf of the emperor to handle government affairs.

At the end of Daqing, Xue Rengui, the general of Zuowei and the governor of Daizhou, returned to Luoyang and obeyed the emperor's orders.

When the Turkic assassination case comes to an end, he will immediately set off to northern Xinjiang to conquer the Turkic tribes of the Anbei Protectorate.

At this time, the progress of the trial of the Turkic case in Dali Temple, Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Three Law Departments slowed down strangely.

Looking inside and outside, the sound of wind gradually began to rise.

Five days later, the emperor went to court early.

Immediately, Luoyang was peaceful, Chang'an was peaceful, and the world was peaceful.

Seven days later, the prince returned to Chang'an.

It is vast, with countless guards inside and outside.

The flag is fluttering, the blade is cold.

Li Xian looked back at Luoyang City and sighed softly.

The next moment, the big ship moved forward, heading towards Chang'an.

……

In Luoyang City, Li Jingye appeared silently in Yongtong.

Deep in the inner square, a four-entry courtyard was extremely peaceful, with several Ujinwu guards solemnly guarding the door.

Here is the residence of Ming Chongyan, the real person of Shiyin, in Luoyang.

Li Jingye smiled softly, and the next moment, he had turned into the alley next to him.

However, Li Jingye didn't notice that a pigeon hawk stood on the far wall of the courtyard, calmly watching him enter Ming Chongyan's mansion from the back door.

Ming Chongyan has been missing for too long.

There were originally many people watching over his mansion, but as time passed, there was no movement.

Everyone is waiting for the emperor and Empress Wu to directly announce the death of Ming Chongyan one day in the future.

Li Jingye entered the hospital and didn't do much.

He just carefully sneaked into the well in the fourth courtyard and quietly entered the secret room inside.

No one knew that there was a secret room hidden in the well in the backyard of Ming Chongyan's home.

No one knew that Li Jingye actually found this place.

It was as if he had known this place for a long time.

Li Jingye calmly opened the secret door, and a secret room about three feet long and wide suddenly appeared in front of him.

There is an ancient bronze tripod in the center of the secret room, and various medicinal materials are placed on the medicine shelves around it.

This is the place where Ming Chongyan secretly made elixirs.

Ming Chongyan was highly appreciated by the emperor and empress, and could enter and exit the prison at will. In addition to his Taoism and shrewdness, his medical skills were also extraordinary.

This is the reason why Ming Chongyan made several mistakes but the emperor did not issue an edict to punish him.

He has considerable treatment methods for the emperor's wind diseases.

Even though the emperor already had many famous doctors on his hands, he was not willing to give up easily on Ming Chongyan.

It's because once he gets sick, he doesn't know who can cure him.

But unfortunately, Ming Chongyan died after all.

However, the imperial physician Qin Heming took his place.

……

Li Jingye took a deep breath and stood in the middle of the secret room with a solemn expression.

Li Xian asked him to come here to reveal the "truth" about Ming Chongyan's death.

Originally, Li Jingye wanted to put the blame on Li Xuan, but Li Xian was obviously unwilling.

After careful consideration, Li Jingye also rejected this idea.

Changzhou's tens of thousands of elite soldiers were the most important factor.

Although on the surface it seems that once something happens to Li Xuan, Zhang Daan can immediately take over the military power in the name of Changzhou Governor Shi, but in fact Li Jingye knows in his heart that once something happens to Li Xuan, Zhang Daan will also be summoned at the same time. Recall the country.

There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Changzhou. The emperor would not trust Li Xuan to control them alone, nor would he trust Zhang Daan to control them alone.

The relationship between the two people in Changzhou is a check and balance.

If something happens to one person, the other person will be transferred immediately.

Li Jingye must be very cautious at this time.

After all, there are still military god-level coaches like Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian. If he wants to help Li Xian win the title successfully, he will have to face huge obstacles.

Even if he is confident enough to have a fight with one of them, if there is another person, it will be very difficult for him.

So he really needs another person to help him share the pressure on the other side.

This person is Li Xuan.

He would set a trap for Li Xuan and force him to fall out with Empress Wu, but not now.

The ultimate goal of designing Li Xuan was not only to make him fall out with Empress Wu, but also to enable him to continue to hold military power after falling out with Empress Wu.

Otherwise, it would be better to send him directly to the prison.

What Li Jingye wants is not only Li Xuan, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers under Li Xuan. At the same time, Li Xuan cannot fall out with him.

Li Xuan is so smart. Once he notices Li Jingye's methods, it is normal for him to fall out.

After all, besides Li Xian, Li Xuan had other choices. He could choose Li Xian or even Li Dan.

To plot against Li Xuan is a long-term process.

What Li Jingye can do now is to plant a seed of suspicion about Li Xuan in Empress Wu's heart.

Thinking of this, Li Jingye took out a blue leather chapter from his arms.

Stepping into the depths of the secret room, Li Jingye stopped.

There was a futon on the low couch in front of him.

There are traces of someone sitting on the futon.

In front of the futon, there is a copy of the Tao Te Ching. Li Jingye carefully placed the blue chapter of the book closer to the Tao Te Ching.

After putting it away, he nodded with satisfaction, but he was still a little worried.

Then carefully open this blue chapter.

On the first page of this chapter, He Lanwan's name is written on a line, followed by his birth date, birth date, and address.

Next, on the line below, there is also a name.

The name is very unfamiliar, but the birth date and month following it are exactly the same as Helan Wan.

Not only the second and third names, but even after turning the page, the birth dates of the dozens of names recorded on the pages were all exactly the same as Helan Wan's.

It's just that the more specific birth dates and home addresses are different.

These children from all over the world are all the same age, same year and same month as Helan Wan.

If others saw it, they would inevitably ask what Ming Chongyan was doing by making these names and looking for these children.

Same age, different looks.

The child in the palace...

Ming Chongyan found so many children of the same age as him.

So that child, is he really Helan Minzhi's son?
  Did he deliberately find a child who looked very similar to Li Xian from somewhere else?

Why is he looking for these kids?
  When thinking of this, everyone already had the answer in their mind.

Ming Chongyan was slandering Li Xian.

……

A roster is enough to get Li Xian out of the current predicament.

But only for the moment.

Li Jingye couldn't help but shook his head slightly, Wu Cai was the one who really controlled the situation.

As a mother, she doesn't even need to say it explicitly, just a few hints to make others think that Li Xian is not her son.

Even she just needs to say firmly that the names and characters on this list are all fake.
  Li Xian will immediately fall into despair again.

Of course, Empress Wu would not do this kind of thing easily, as it would also put her in trouble.

But apart from that, there are still many ways that Empress Wu can do.

This depends on the future struggle between Li Xian and Empress Wu.

Li Jingye will also play a role in this.

Turning to the last page of the roster, there was an extremely common name, but the child was from Jiangnan Road, Hongzhou Prefecture, and Nanchang County.

Among the fiefdoms of the King of Nanchang.

There was a sneer on Li Jingye's lips. This was the method he brought to Li Xuan.

The seeds of suspicion between him and Empress Wu had been planted from this moment on.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jingye walked to the alchemy furnace in the center and opened the alchemy furnace without any hesitation.

In an instant, a mummy wearing a blue robe was already sitting inside.

The body was shriveled and nothing could be seen clearly.

But the Taoist robe was taken from the mansion above, Ming Chongyan's Taoist robe.

Li Jingye has found this place for a long time, and he has even thought of various layout methods a long time ago.

Now, he just chose one of them.

Taking the body out of the alchemy furnace, Li Jingye carefully placed the body on the futon.

After moving carefully for a moment, Li Jingye breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back.

Seeing that he nodded with satisfaction, Li Jingye took out two chapters from his arms again.

But this time, it was not a roster, but two books, one "Spring and Autumn" and one "Diamond Sutra".

Place the Spring and Autumn Annals and the Diamond Sutra on both sides of the Tao Te Ching, parallel to each other.

Although these three books are different, they almost all look like they have been studied carefully.

Ming Chongyan, who was born in Taoism, was reading "Spring and Autumn" and "Diamond Sutra" in private. This was not something too taboo.

But if Ming Chongyan died while reading "Spring and Autumn", "Tao Te Ching" and "Diamond Sutra" at the same time, then his death had nothing to do with Li Xian.

It is possible to practice walking fire and become a demon by yourself, or to have the Taoist teachings backfire.

After all, everyone knows that Ming Chongyan practiced witchcraft.

It is only natural that if you study Confucian and Buddhist classics, you will eventually be attacked by gods and ghosts.

Not to mention, he is still studying how to harm people.

In this way, the suspicion on Li Xian was gone.

Even, this matter will backfire on Empress Wu. Whose intentions did Ming Chongyan do these things?
  These children, are they still alive?
  Investigating these children will lead to the investigation of the King of Nanchang. In this way, it depends on how Li Jingye plays his next trump card.

……

After carefully looking at the entire secret room, Li Jingye nodded with satisfaction, and then began to clean up the traces.

While cleaning up the traces, Li Jingye took out a bag from his arms and poured most of the white objects onto the body.

Maggots, these are actually maggots that only appear after the corpse hatches.

Li Jingye sprinkled the maggots and then slowly exited the secret room.

Finally, in the well outside the secret room, Li Jingye threw the last handful of maggots into the water.

"Next, it depends on when you can find this body." Li Jingye raised his head to the sky. The next moment, he had climbed up the well wall and got out of the well.

After a long time, a dove hawk flew down from above the well.

After a long time, he struggled to open the secret room.

After a lot of effort, it found the last page of the roster.

Countless maggots suddenly rushed toward the roster like crazy.

The last page, as well as the names on the previous pages, were all chewed up.

Although most of the book is still left, it has nothing to do with Li Xuan.

Flying out of the secret room and looking at the maggots in the well, the dove hawk flew down and ate most of the maggots inside before it flew up.
