Will Ming

640 Chapter Three

The former censor Song Yu was assassinated halfway, and the censor Fang Zhengran was assassinated at home. Although these two were court officials, their influence was relatively small. Compared with the assassins in Xiao's family, the difference was too far.Compared with the assassination of Yan Wang Li Xian, the assassination of Xiao's family did not show how shocking it was.

Li Yuan was almost furious at first when he received the news one after another, and then he was extremely shocked. To be honest, he also vaguely guessed that the deaths of Song Yu and Fang Zhengran had something to do with Li Xian.Of course, he also knew that the reason why these two people had such courage was because of Xiao's support behind them.Xiao seems to have a big prejudice against Li Xian, and he is a representative of important court officials who firmly oppose Li Xian's re-use.

When Huangfu Wuqi rushed to Tai Chi Palace in a panic and said that there was an assassin in Xiao's house, Li Yuan's first reaction was that Li Xian had gone too far!

He originally wanted to say that this is my Chang'an City, not some people's mountain village!

But before this sentence was finished, Na Yan and Pei Ji hurried into the palace to tell him that Yan Wang Li Xian had also been assassinated.

Li Yuan's heart was in a mess. If Li Xian had a reason to attack Xiao, then who would Li Xian attack?Li Xian entered Chang'an City with only twenty guards, and entered the capital of the Tang Dynasty. This was known to all the people in Chang'an City. Many people even saw it with their own eyes when they entered the city.When Li Xian was free in Chang'an City, he liked to walk the streets and alleys. Almost half of the people in Chang'an City had seen him strolling along the streets with his guards.

He dared to bring such a few guards into the city, dared to take such a few guards around, and the attitude he showed was his trust in His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his trust in the Tang court, and his trust in the people in Chang'an City.But now that Li Xian is assassinated, if this matter is not handled well, then the nearly fifty thousand Yanyun army outside the city will be furious and no one knows what will happen.If the Yanyun army attacked the city, it would not be a problem to rely on the troops in Chang'an city to defend it. The problem is that there are still two 10,000+ troops in Yanyun village!

The Yanyun army outside the city is less than [-] miles away from Chang'an City, and they will arrive sooner or later.Leading the army is Yanyun Army general Qin Qiong, fierce general Cheng Zhijie, and two peerless killers, one is known as the invincible Luo Shixin on horseback, and the other is known as the invincible Xiong Kuohai in foot combat.Those tens of thousands of Yanyun troops were also the elite of the elite. If there was a riot, even if they couldn't take down Chang'an City, it would be enough to make the capital of the Tang Dynasty tremble.

Now Datang can't stand the wind and rain, and if something happens to Chang'an, the whole country will be precarious with the wind and rain!The first thing Li Yuan thought of was how to remedy it, this person who attacked Li Xian must not stay, no matter who it is, even the few important ministers in the court must not stay!

"who is it!"

Li Yuan asked angrily with a pale face, "Who is so courageous!"

Pei Ji's face was also extremely ugly, he hesitated and said: "I don't know, the identity of the assassin has not been found out yet. But fortunately, His Royal Highness King Yan's injury should not be too serious. I heard that he was stabbed in the left shoulder by an assassin. It was extremely dangerous, if King Yan hadn't reacted quickly enough, this knife would have pierced right into the heart."

"injured?!"

Hearing these words, Li Yuan felt tense again.

"Although the wound was big, it didn't hurt the vitals. There was a lot of blood. King Yan's own guards had already applied medicine to him. Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an Mansion, City Defense Army, and officials on duty from the Ministry of Punishment had all rushed over. gone."

"Where's the assassin?"

Li Yuan asked.

"The matter was revealed and he committed suicide."

"Dugu School, you go now!"

Li Yuan pointed to the outside and said eagerly: "Go, see who is so courageous! How dare you try to murder the important minister of the country in the capital of the Tang Dynasty!"

He thought for a while and then ordered: "Pei Ji, you go too... Never let Li Xian leave Qi Palace, if he leaves the palace, I can only let him come in, otherwise..."

"I understand! I'm going now!"

Duguxue and Pei Ji hurriedly responded, turned around and walked outside.Li Yuan immediately ordered Huangfu Wuqi to say: "Go to Xiao's mansion and have a look, let Xiao enter the palace immediately without delay! Wait... let Liu Zhenghui go with you."

After Huangfu Wuqi left in a hurry, Li Yuan suddenly found that the fear that he hadn't had for a long time came out uncontrollably.Since he ascended the throne, nothing in this world seems to scare him anymore.Even if Li Shimin returned to Chang'an with his troops, he did not have the slightest worry.But this time was different, he suddenly felt that the emperor was not really the supreme being who could control everything.

There can be no chaos in Chang'an city, absolutely no chaos.

Li Yuan told himself that the newly established Datang should not be chaotic.

……

……

Liu Zhenghui glanced at Xiao who was sitting on the chair with a changed face, couldn't help but shook his head, opened the curtain of the car window and looked outside and asked in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, do you know about this?" Know?"

Xiao, who was furious just now because an assassin entered his mansion, now his face was as white as paper. He really didn't expect that it took only half an hour, and the matter would develop to this point.Originally, he was still afraid and thankful, thankful that he was not in the mansion so he was saved from death, and also thankful that he could use this matter to make a fuss, no matter whether Li Xian sent someone to do it, he had a chance Use this matter to prompt His Majesty to make up his mind.

But when he was thinking about how to mention this matter to His Majesty when he entered the palace later, Liu Zhenghui hurriedly found out that he had brought him enough shocking news.

Just half an hour after the assassin entered his mansion, Yan Wang Li Xian was assassinated and injured.The assassin struck so fiercely that he almost killed King Yan.

This incident completely messed up Xiao's plans, and his mind was as muddled now.An assassin entered my mansion, followed by the assassination of King Yan, is this really a coincidence?If it is true, then it can only be said that my luck is extremely bad!Leaving aside the fact that his own affairs must be dealt with later, after all, Li Xian's status is a bit special, and what Xiao worried about was that some people with ulterior motives would never let this opportunity go.

Xiao also believed that Song Yu's death and Fang Zhengran's death had something to do with Li Xian.And he has a lot of complaints, after all Song Yu and Fang Zhengran are both his people.He is Shangshu Zuopushe, who is in charge of the six departments. If he has this idea, there will be many people who will agree with him.Song Yu died, Fang Zhengran died, and assassins entered his mansion immediately after. It became clearer that Li Xian was the mastermind behind the scenes.

The conflict between Li Xian and Xiao has been something courtiers have been talking about since these days.

Someone planned to assassinate Xiao, and the assassination of King Yan followed closely.

People with darker hearts would immediately think of a possibility, that is, could the person who assassinated Li Xian be sent by Xiao?Assassins just appeared in his mansion, and it seemed reasonable to say that he sent someone to take revenge.Some people said how could it be possible for Xiao to do such a stupid thing, but there is really nothing rational about what people do in a fit of rage.

Xiao was not afraid of anyone thinking that way, he was only afraid that the emperor would think so too.

Liu Zhenghui hurried over to find him and told him to enter the palace immediately to meet His Majesty.Xiao Ye was planning to go to Taiji Palace, but he didn't expect such a big change all of a sudden.He was stunned for a long time, and the expression froze on his face as if he was a little dumbfounded.It took a long time for him to wake up. It seems that His Majesty really suspected that he had sent someone to do this matter today.

If Li Xian also thinks that he sent someone to attack him, then who can control what will happen?

His mind was so chaotic that it took him a while to realize what Liu Zhenghui asked.

"What did you say?"

After he reacted, he asked a question.

"I said, does this matter have anything to do with you!"

Liu Zhenghui said slightly annoyed: "Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the people in Chang'an City know that you are targeting King Yan. No matter how you think about it, this matter should have something to do with you. Now you should think about it for a while. What should you do if your Majesty asks you?" Answer. His Majesty was furious, threw the cup, and scolded officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Jing Zhaoyin, and the City Defense Army to shame. If there is no explanation for this matter, God knows how many heads will be lost in Chang'an City!"

"why me?"

Xiao was stunned and then asked back: "Why do you think it has something to do with me?"

Liu Zhenghui didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, so he thought for a while and said seriously: "Since there are assassins in your mansion, many people immediately feel that it was the assassination of King Yan, why can't people think that the assassination of King Yan Didn't it have anything to do with you? Of course, I believe you have nothing to do with this matter, but can you stop others from thinking that way? Song Yu's death, Fang Zhengran's death, you were almost assassinated, these things were led to go to King Yan Pointing to the past, so now that King Yan is assassinated, people will naturally think of you!"

After hearing what Liu Zhenghui had said, Xiao fell silent again. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly smiled wryly and shook his head: "If this matter really has something to do with Li Xian, I only now know how terrible his scheming is."

"He only brought a dozen or so guards into the city, and then wandered around the streets every day when he had nothing to do, in order to show a gesture so that the people, courtiers, and even His Majesty could see that he was not on guard. trust. Then he sent people to kill Song Yu, Fang Zhengran, and then sent people to assassinate me falsely, all in order to make everyone focus on him, and everyone looked at him. He then designed a When I was assassinated...then people naturally thought of me."

Xiao sighed, and said bitterly: "If this is really the case, I have nothing to say."

Liu Zhenghui glanced at him in disbelief, and then asked very seriously: "Why do you still stubbornly think that King Yan planned all this?"

Xiao shook his head
