This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 799 Volume : The Turmoil in Chang'an
On the banks of the Yalong River, Li Chengqian did not really become a hands-off boss.

A steady stream of information reached him through different channels.

When he received the news, he was not overly surprised.

After all, war is, if not unfamiliar to him, then certainly unfamiliar.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, he was willing to lead the army himself, but that was also a helpless measure.

To this day, he would never go into battle and kill the enemy unless he had to do so himself.

As for this personal expedition, it was ultimately just to avoid direct conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

"By the way, is there any situation in Chang'an during this period?" Li Chengqian suddenly asked after reading the report from the front line.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yuan quickly said, "Your Highness, yes."

Eunuch Yuan has been in high spirits recently.

As the army moved south and Wei Shuyu returned to Chang'an, Li Chengqian had very few people around him.

This gave Eunuch Yuan an opportunity.

After all, when those guys were around, he didn't have the chance to be with Li Chengqian all the time.

As a eunuch, if he cannot serve His Highness personally, then he has almost lost his value.

So, during this period of time, he has found his chance again, how could he not be very proud of himself?

After looking at the news from Chang'an, Li Chengqian frowned.

"Is someone setting a trap for Qingque?" Li Chengqian asked as he watched, "Who did it? Li Ke?"

"Your Highness, the news from Chang'an should be from Prince Liang Li Yin."

"Li Yin?" Li Chengqian was slightly stunned when he heard this. "This kid actually dared to set a trap for Qingque? Was it his own idea, or was it Li Ke who ordered him to do so?"

"It should be the Prince of Liang's own idea." Eunuch Yuan said, "and..."

"And what?" Li Chengqian asked indifferently. To him, neither Li Yin nor Li Ke could be considered his opponent.

His real opponent from beginning to end was only one person.

"There are rumors in Chang'an now that all of Prince Liang's actions were to help his brother fight for the throne of the Eastern Palace. Some even say that the sudden death of Concubine Yang was a secret murder by the Prince of Shu in order to seize the throne of the Eastern Palace."

"Hmm?" Li Chengqian was also stunned when he heard this and immediately fell into deep thought.

Is this possible?

To be honest, he didn't want this to happen, but reality told him countless times that for the sake of that throne, this possibility existed.

"Not only that, some people in Chang'an have said that among all the princes of your majesty, only Prince Liang is the most pure and filial." Having said this, Eunuch Yuan looked at Li Chengqian hesitantly.

Li Chengqian said impatiently: "Speaking of which, in their mouths, I don't have a good reputation to begin with, so why do you still care about this?"

“Whether it is Your Highness or other princes, anyone who uses any means necessary to obtain the throne of the Crown Prince is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust.” After Eunuch Yuan finished speaking, he quickly shut up, fearing that Li Chengqian would lose his temper.

But how could Li Chengqian be so fragile?

Hasn't he experienced enough over the years?

If even now a few dirty words could still shake his mood, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Great Ming King.

"Send a message to the Secret Service Department, and have them keep a close eye on the situation in Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is the core of this incident. I want to see how many evil spirits and monsters will pop up this time."

Li Chengqian waved his hand casually and was no longer interested in paying attention to the trivial things happening in Chang'an.

There are some things that he can guess the current situation in Chang'an just by guessing without asking.

But no one can be blamed for this kind of thing. As long as people have desires, it is inevitable.

Even today, when the Ming Dynasty is rich and powerful, he himself is destined to be recorded in history. Logically speaking, his achievements are already very high, and it would not be a loss even if he died now.

But even so, he was still thinking about the huge Tang Dynasty.

This is human desire and greed.

Once you have one, you want a second one. Once you have a second one, you want a third one. This is human greed, and it is ingrained in our bones.

Everyone is like this except for a few guys who can transcend the world.

"Your Highness." At this time, Eunuch Yuan thought for a while and said, "After all, this is a royal secret. Letting the Secret Service investigate it, will it damage the royal dignity?
After all, if it gets out, it will damage the reputation of the royal family."

"Hmm?" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Eunuch Yuan did not hesitate at this moment and said directly: "I think that this is our royal family's own family affairs after all, so naturally we have to use domestic slaves."

What he called household slaves were naturally these eunuchs.

This kind of thing was actually very common in the Han Dynasty.

Although there have been many problems with eunuchs since their existence, this dregs of the feudal era has indeed left a significant mark in the thousands of years of Chinese history.

"But my Ming Dynasty doesn't have that many eunuchs." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "And you also know that even today, the eunuchs in my Ming Dynasty were brought by you back then. Their number is very small. Maybe you know it better than me, right?"

During all these years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there has indeed been no eunuchs except for Eunuch Yuan and his group.

This is the national condition of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a kind of kindness of Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, don't worry about this." Eunuch Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness should still remember that when I was in Chang'an, I had many apprentices. Now that these guys heard that I was serving Your Highness in Daming, they all wrote to me, saying that they wanted to do something for Your Highness.

As long as His Highness nods, they will..."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Before he could finish his words, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "As long as they are still in Chang'an, they belong to my father. As a son, how can I do this?
If this gets out, wouldn't the rumors in Chang'an be confirmed?"

After saying that, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Go down, I am tired."

Li Chengqian actually doesn't have much affection for Eunuch Yuan.

After all, he is not the real Li Chengqian.

If it weren't for the fact that he came all the way from Chang'an, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want his identity to be exposed, he really didn't want to let this guy get close to him.

Who knows if he came here with any mission?
Eunuch Yuan was not upset. After all, doing things is not that easy.
Besides, didn’t His Highness say that it would only have an impact if it got out? But what if it can’t be spread?
He is a smart man. It is enough for His Highness to know about this kind of thing. He has to do what he should do.

As soon as he went out, Eunuch Yuan began to write letters to his disciples in Chang'an.

This is his chance. The Secret Service has always been controlled by the most trusted eunuchs around His Majesty in the Tang Dynasty. How could it be an exception in the Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, what right does Wu An have to control the Secret Service of the Ming Dynasty?
What does he know? ...

At the same time, Chang'an.

East Palace.

Li Tai was not affected by the rumors at all and was still happy every day.

Life is so pleasant!
"Hey, cousin didn't go out today?" Just when Chang Sun Chong walked out of the room, Li Tai walked up to him and said, "The streets of Chang'an have been going crazy these days. What have they said about me and my brother?
Didn't my cousin hear about this?"

"Okay, now you know it has nothing to do with you." Chang Sun Chong was also speechless. Ever since the rumors spread in the market, this guy has never stopped and has been getting close to him every few days.

Of course, he also knew Li Tai's purpose.

There's no way. Things have developed to this point and no one wants to take the blame for others.

"What do you mean it's done?" Li Tai was immediately displeased. "Cousin, you are just being perfunctory. No, I will go back and write a letter to my brother. I have to explain this matter clearly. Otherwise, it will be like yellow mud falling into my pants crotch. It will be shit if it's not shit."

Having said that, Li Tai ran away.

Seeing Li Tai like this, Chang Sun Chong was dumbfounded.

However, he was very clear that as long as Li Tai did not have any ideas about that position, Li Tai's status in the future would definitely be transcendent.

Therefore, he was unwilling to offend his wise but foolish cousin.

After Li Tai returned, he sat down, shook his head helplessly, and said, "What's going on?"

At this point, he looked at his confidants and asked, "Have you found out whether it was Li Yin's own idea or Li Ke's secret push?"

In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even send anyone out to investigate. It was not until the rumors outside became more and more outrageous that he started to send people out to investigate.

He did all these things openly, so no one thought there was anything wrong.

"There is no direct evidence yet." The subordinate said, "But the King of Shu is also sending people to investigate..."

Having said this, my subordinate shut up consciously.

Li Tai was no fool. He understood immediately after hearing this and sneered, "That kid Li Yin is really brave! But does he think that after defeating me and his brother, that position will be his?"

As he said this, Li Tai himself laughed.

What a joke, the biggest obstacle in front of these people has never been each other, but the one far away in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness." Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately said, "Isn't the King of Liang really eyeing that position?
But no matter what, that position will never fall on his head, right? "

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Even if there was no Li Chengqian, there was still Li Tai. Even if Li Tai was gone, there was still Li Ke. Li Er had so many sons, how could he be the one to die?

"How is it impossible?" Li Tai said with a smile, "Listen to the recent rumors, how is it impossible?
Isn't he clearing away all the obstacles in his way step by step?

How can a person recognize himself so easily? "

"Should we do something?" the subordinate asked. "After all, we have been bullied for so long without any reaction. I am afraid that others will look down on our Yue Palace."

He was still willing to do something. As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the minister will die. If he had no attitude at all, not only would Li Tai be affected, but his future prospects would also be greatly affected.

However, Li Tai shook his head and said with a smile: "No hurry, let's just watch the show now. As for the reputation of my Yue Palace, haha, does my Yue Palace really rely on reputation to make a living?
Besides, the most confused ones at this time are not us, but the Prince of Shu's Mansion, right?"

Li Tai became more and more proud as he spoke. He suddenly realized that if he really let go of those unrealistic ideas, life would be really comfortable.

Upon hearing this, his subordinates obviously understood what Li Tai meant. After thinking for a moment, they said, "Then shall we continue to send people to keep an eye on it?"

"Just keep an eye on it." Li Tai added, "Remember, all actions of our Yue Palace must be exposed. This is a must.

You have to remember that Li Yin, that brat, is not worth us doing too much for him, but for the Ming Dynasty, we can't do too little.

Now, as long as we in the Prince of Yue's Palace can hold on to the present, the future will not be too bad, do you understand?

Although my Yue Palace seems not to be fighting, but to be honest, what my Yue Palace is fighting for is the future. "

Now, he also needs to appease his subordinates.

But what he said was not wrong. The Prince of Yue’s Palace was not fighting for the throne, but on the other hand, what they were fighting for was actually the future.

No matter who ascends the throne in the future, the status of the Prince of Yue's Palace will be transcendent.

After hearing this, his subordinates pondered for a while and then came to their senses.

Indeed, this is also their opportunity. Apart from them, no one else has such an opportunity.

"I understand." After the subordinate said this, he stood up and said goodbye.

At the same time, rumors were spreading more and more widely in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

Even a group of peddlers and hawkers can chat with each other when they get together.

This is actually normal. After all, it is a royal secret. Who wouldn’t be curious?
In addition, there are people who deliberately spread the news, so it is normal for it to spread to the streets and alleys.

Of course, the amount of such rumors that reach the ears of ordinary people is still limited, and most of the time, the conclusions drawn by ordinary people are just based on what others say.

Moreover, the most exaggerated rumors have always been among officials and scholars.

They are the biggest targets of rumors.

After all, common people are blindly obedient, and they often listen to the words of officials and scholars.

At this moment, some guys from the noble families were sitting together, and they were all very excited.

"Have you heard? Concubine Yang's death may be related to the King of Shu?" Someone looked around and said in a low voice.

"Come on, that's all old news." After hearing the young man's words, someone immediately said disdainfully, "Isn't it just the King of Shu who directed and acted it out himself in order to frame the one in the East Palace and establish the cruelty of that one?

I heard that all the people who participated in this action were killed by the King of Shu. If it weren't for one guy who was lucky enough to escape, the blame could have been put on the man in the East Palace."

"Come on, you are just following what others say, right?" After the man finished speaking, another person said, "What do you all know? You just heard some rumors and you just say it.

Aren’t you afraid that the King of Shu will find out and skin you alive?

This kind of thing, without any evidence, is something you can just say?"

"I thought you knew something about this?" someone said disdainfully, "Do you think the King of Shu doesn't know about this? How many people in Chang'an don't know about this?

Can he kill him?

Moreover……"
