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

Chapter 1062 How to kill is the safest way

Under the night, a black carriage drove slowly down the long street.

In the carriage, Li Xuan and Di Renjie sat opposite each other.

There is a curfew outside the car.

The curtains of the car shook, and only groups of Jinwu guards were patrolling.

Li Xuan looked away from the long street outside, then looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Brother Huaiying, what do you want with Xuan?"

When the banquet was over and everyone went home, Di Renjie asked Li Xuan to help send him back. Li Xuan immediately knew that Di Renjie had something to talk to him privately.

The long street under curfew, inside the swaying carriage, is indeed a good place to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"Your Majesty, the case of Master Shi Yin is a sensitive matter. Your Majesty, you should be cautious." Di Renjie finally spoke out.

Li Xuan fell silent and nodded seriously.

He understood what Di Renjie meant, but it would be inconvenient to say it no matter how deep it was.

"Everything depends on the evidence. If there is evidence, I will not keep it secretly. I will report it to His Majesty and the Queen truthfully." Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie and said calmly: "But to be honest, they don't have the strength to do this... …Unless, they still have manpower in places I don’t know about.”

Li Xuan also did not say those two words.

East Palace.

In the final analysis, Ming Chongyan's affairs are inseparable from the prince.

The conflict at the city gate at the beginning of the year was that Ming Chongyan was plotting against the prince.

If Di Renjie hadn't stopped him in time, the whole thing would have already spread.

Now, news of the death of Ming Chongyan, who has been missing for more than half a year, comes, but in the end, it is Li Xian who benefits the most.

Although Empress Wu concealed the matter about the roster, everyone in the court who should know knew it.

These people are the prime ministers in the court.

This made Li Xian inescapable from suspicion.

Di Renjie had obviously heard some rumors, and even with his ability, he might have thought that Li Xian was behind the death of "Ming Chongyan".

Once the details of this case are found out, I am afraid that no matter what the truth is, Ming Chongyan's death will be blamed on Li Xian.

But there was nothing Li Xuan could do about this matter.

When Li Xian chose to associate with Li Jingye, he should have known that Li Jingye was inextricably related to the Turks.

It's just that he deceived himself and chose to ignore it.

Radical, but risky.

Considering the pros and cons, Li Xian made a choice...

After a long time, Di Renjie said quietly: "Your Majesty, the chaos in the North is ahead, and the Tang Dynasty cannot be in chaos."

"No one wants to cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty, and neither do I, but there are many things that are beyond your control. What we can do is to nip any factors that may cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty in the bud, just like Same this time." Li Xuan looked deeply at Di Renjie with a firm attitude.

Di Renjie bowed and cupped his hands and said, "In this case, everything will be done by the prince."

"With my king here in Luoyang, brother Huaiying doesn't have to worry. But in Chang'an, the only people who can hold the head and tail now are the Turks in Chang'an. I leave everything to brother Huaiying." Li Xuan returned the gift seriously.

With Di Renjie in Chang'an, Li Xuan can always feel more at ease.

But although Chang'an is the final destination, the whole process is in Luoyang.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan brought both Yao Chong and Song Jing to Luoyang.

……

On the third day, an official ship slowly sailed eastward.

Li Xuan stood at the stern of the ship, wearing a black gold robe and a silver crown, looking in the direction of Chang'an in trance.

"What is the prince thinking?" Yao Chong's voice came from behind Li Xuan, and Li Xuan turned around and took a look.

Only Yao Chong, no Song Jing,

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "Brother Yuan Zhi is one of our own, so I won't hide it from you. I am worried about Li Jingye."

"Li Jingye?" Yao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Is the prince worried about Hebei Province?"

When they got together yesterday, they discussed Dingzhou.

Today's Dingzhou is located between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Although there is no movement among the Turks in Monan now, if the Turks in Mobei move, under the chain reaction, who knows what kind of movement there will be among the Turks in Monan Shanyu's Protectorate.

Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said: "I am worried about the British Duke's wise life."

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan said: "The British Duke is listed in Lingyan Pavilion. Once Li Jingye really makes trouble, it will inevitably affect the wisdom of his ancestors... The British Duke's contribution to the Tang Dynasty is second only to Wei The Duke, if his wisdom is shaken, the entire Tang Dynasty will be shaken."

Li Ji has been fighting in the south and north for many years, from Andong to the Western Regions, from Silla to the Western Turks, from Anbei to Tuyuhun, and from the Eastern Turks to the Qiang people. He has made countless military exploits.

I don't know how many talents he has mentored in his life. Even people like Yuan Wanqing are Li Ji's old subordinates.

Once Li Jingye rebelled, Li Ji's position in Lingyan Pavilion would inevitably be shaken.

Maybe they will be cleared out of Lingyan Pavilion directly.

"Then in the prince's opinion, what should we do?" Yao Chong looked sideways at Li Xuan.

"Find Li Jingye, kill him, destroy his body, and tell the world that the real culprit behind the scenes destroyed his face before he died." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "As for Li Jingye in the future, let him disappear forever. Let no one in the world know where he is going..."

"If this can be done, the prince will be very grateful to the British public." Yao Chong nodded seriously.

He himself is a very flexible person, and for the sake of the stability of the entire world, it is acceptable to conceal Li Jingye's true identity.

Li Xuan turned around, looked to the distant east, and said softly: "This is the second time that I have stayed in Luoyang in the past few years. I hope my hands will not be bloody like last time." Yao Chong nodded subconsciously, and then Asked: "Does the prince think that traces of Li Jingye can be found in Luoyang this time?"

"On the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, someone from Dali Temple reported that Li Jingye was seen in the palace," Li Xuan said with a serious expression, word by word: "So there must be someone in the Luoyang Palace assisting Li Jingye, but this person It’s not easy to find out who it is.”

"It seems that the prince has already found a solution." Yao Chong slightly cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and looked at Li Xuan with eyes filled with wonder.

Li Xuan waved her hands with a smile and said: "It's just a stupid solution, it will take time, but before that, we need to solve the problem of 'Ming Chongyan'."

"Your Majesty ordered." Yao Chong handed over seriously.

"After arriving in Luoshui, Yuan Zhi first landed, went to the residence of Master Shiyin, contacted the secret guards, and monitored the entire workshop." Li Xuan paused, and then said seriously: "When I arrive, All strange people, no matter who they are, will be monitored and tracked. I want to know where they have gone and who they have contacted..."

"I accept your order." Yao Chong held his hands solemnly, then raised his head and asked, "Who do you think our lord may find first?"

"No matter who you find, that person deserves to die the most." Li Xuan pressed her sword with her hand, her eyes cold and murderous.

……

Luoyang, Yongtongfang.

Under the protection of Qianniu Guards, Hei drove the carriage slowly towards Ming Chongyan's mansion.

Surrounded by more than a dozen police officers and sergeants from Luoyang and Luoyang counties in Henan Province, as well as dozens of local people, they pointed at Li Xuan.

The news that Ming Chongyan died of gods and ghosts had already spread in Chang'an.

Li Jingye finally thought up excuses for Li Xian, and Li Xuan will completely overthrow him today.

In fact, Li Xuan would not be willing to let Li Xian go, but Empress Wu had already firmly believed that Ming Chongyan died unexpectedly, so no matter how hard she tried to cover it up, it would be of no use.

In front of the door, Li Xuan opened the car curtain and walked out.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the gate of the mansion in front of him. Li Xuan had to admit that Li Jingye was still quite good.

He was actually able to come up with such a method for Li Xian to get rid of the rumor that he was not Empress Wu's son, and get rid of the most unfavorable situation.

Li Ji said that Li Jingye had wit, which was not false.

There were countless policemen, sergeants, and more than a dozen civilians around, and there were countless eyes with mysterious origins hidden among them.

No one knows what the outcome will be if Li Xuan takes this step.

Even Li Xuan herself doesn't know.

If he overthrows all this and exposes all the connections between Li Jingye and Li Xian, then Li Xian's position as crown prince will not be guaranteed.

What's more, Li Jingye has always been on the opposite side of Li Xuan.

When Li Xian chose him, it was equivalent to giving up on Li Xuan.

Although Li Xian didn't know about Li Jingye's previous manipulations on the roster, in fact, he had already acquiesced.

It means that Li Xian is also standing on the opposite side of Li Xuan.

The positions of each other have been chosen, and the things have been done, and there is no chance to choose again.

In the end, everything is likely to be a brutal fight between the enemy and ourselves, and no one has a chance to stop.

Li Xuan no longer has any need to protect Li Xian's position as prince.

Judging from the situation, Li Xian's position as prince has come to an end.

Li Xuan raised her cold eyes.

Now it depends on how to get him to step down in order to be more beneficial to Li Xuan.

How to make him step down would be even more detrimental to Empress Wu.

……

"Uncle!" Li Xuan bowed deeply to Zhao Gong, and then asked curiously: "When did uncle get involved in this case?"

This case was initially assigned to Yuan Wanqing, but strangely, Yuan Wanqing found nothing.

The emperor was annoyed and handed the case over to Zhao Gong.

Zhao Gong was wearing a black plain robe, and his figure was very similar to Li Xuan. He nodded calmly, led Li Xuan inside, and said at the same time: "Half a month ago, on the day when the imperial court issued an imperial edict to summon you back, , I know that His Majesty will leave this matter to you, so in the past half month, I will try my best to prepare all the information in place and wait for your inspection."

"But uncle, this time your Majesty wants uncle to be the leader, and Dalang is just the assistant, so that others won't gossip?" Li Xuan had a trace of worry on his face.

"If anyone wants to gossip, let them investigate it themselves." Zhao Gong smiled nonchalantly. He had been in the Secret Guard for many years, so it was not easy.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and continued walking forward. At the same time, he looked at the surrounding courtyards and asked, "Uncle, how many people are in this house?"

"Not many, only four, two old servants and two healthy women." Zhao Gong's eyes fell on the west courtyard and said: "The official residence of Master Shiyin is in Chang'an, not Luoyang, so as long as he doesn't come here, Usually there are not many people there.”

"So this year, have the people in this house seen the real person Shiyin?" Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious.

"No." Zhao Gong shook his head and said equally seriously: "They haven't seen the passing Yin Master for nearly a year."

"What about this Yongtongfang? Have you seen Master Shiyin this year?" Li Xuan looked at Zhao Gong and asked seriously: "Uncle, where is the last record of Master Shiyin's appearance among the secret guards? When, where?”

"At the beginning of the year, I asked around Anyang and Handan. At the beginning of the year, no one had seen the real person Shi Yin." Zhao Gong shook his head gently.

"Then that's interesting." Li Xuan looked at the courtyard door from the fourth entrance and said softly: "Master Shiyin, do you need to be so careful when returning to your home? Even if he did such a big thing in Chang'an, he wouldn't be so careful. Come to this."

Zhao Gong shook his head unexpectedly and said: "He offended too many people during that time, and as long as there is one person who has a reason to kill him, countless people will rush to kill him, and finally the culprit will be framed to the one with the most killing power. The man of his reasons.”

Li Xuan's brows suddenly raised.
