Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

Although Rumor has no legs, it can run very fast, no less than lightning. In just one night, under the impetus of some people with ulterior motives, all kinds of rumors about the arsenal case in Chang'an were filled. There are already dozens of versions of rumors, and there are all kinds of rumors. Of course, there are many people who say that this case is a major treason case. However, rumors are rumors after all, and they are only spread among the lower officials or ordinary people. , the important ministers who can enter the Ganlu Palace to discuss matters will never believe those rumors that are not nutritious, and of course they will not believe that this case is a big case of treason. In addition, there is neither a powerful minister nor a foreign relative in power, so how can there be a possibility of rebellion? From the eyes of the big guys, it is most likely that some prince wanted to punish Li Zhen at this time, but was punished by Li Zhen instead. That unlucky guy who was punished, the big guy knew it well, it must be the idiot of the crown prince, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to say that the case was a "rebellion" case, which immediately made all the important officials in the hall unable to bear it. Discussions started, and everyone talked enthusiastically in private, but no one really came forward to challenge Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng is Wei Zheng, he never cares what others say, he can say whatever he thinks, don't look down and chatter, but the old man doesn't care at all, and then said: "Your Majesty, this old minister thinks this matter is important, don't take it lightly. People can take on this important task, but they must be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Holy Majesty should be in charge of the matter himself, and the truth must be investigated, and the traitors must not be lightly indulged!"

Don't look at Mr. Wei's body is still weak, but what he said is so decisive and extremely tough that the prince's face can't be held at once. Without him, Li Chengqian is not very clear about the strangeness here, and he doesn't know if there is any conspiracy I know, but the problem is that he himself has been deeply involved, and he is in great trouble. How dare he ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate strictly. If the ghosts behind his back are found out, then his position as the prince will be about the same. It's the end, isn't it?Besides, Shangshu Qinwen of the Ministry of Punishment belongs to Li Tai, so if you ask him to investigate, why don't you punish yourself to death?

Li Chengqian was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to reprimand Mr. Wei in front of his old man. Seeing the smug smile on the face of the fourth son, Li Tai, Li Chengqian finally couldn't stand it any longer, and hurriedly stood up from the chair that he had left before, Turning around, bowing to Li Shimin, he said: "I want to report to my father, my son thinks that what Mr. Wei said is reasonable, but I'm afraid it's too much. Dear, it can be found out with one investigation, but it doesn't need to spend a lot of trouble. Moreover, once this matter comes out, it will make the court look bad. The son-in-law will solve the case within three days, I hope the emperor will grant it."

When Wei Zheng heard the crown prince said that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, his face immediately turned pale, and his beard turned up with anger. He was about to say something, but he never thought that Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, since the crown prince is willing to protect, then I will give it to Concubine Du." One chance, that's it, I'm tired, so let's all step down."

Once the old man opened his mouth like this, the matter was considered a conclusion. Even if the big guy had an opinion, he didn't dare to raise it again. Wei Zheng still had something to say, but Li Shimin didn't give him a chance this time, and he didn't wait for the courtiers to finish talking. He shook his head, got up and went to the harem, Wei Zheng had no choice but to shake his head and walked out of the hall.

In the confrontation with the brothers, the prince won a rare round. He was in a good mood, and he was not in a hurry to leave. He walked slowly in front of the three brothers, and said hello: "Old three, old four, Xiaoba, my brother just came back from Jiangnan to form a troupe a few days ago, the singing and dancing are absolutely amazing, let's go, let's all go to my brother's palace, and have a few drinks along the way?"

Li Tai lost a round inexplicably, and he was very upset. Seeing the crown prince's villainous appearance, the anger in his heart suddenly became greater, but this is in the palace, and the crown prince is a half-lord, so the rules of etiquette In desperation, he bowed with a stern face and said: "Little brother has a sore throat for the past few days, and I can't drink alcohol. Let it be another day, and I will leave first." Regardless of whether the prince agreed or not, he turned around and strode out of the palace.

The third youngest, Li Ke, had nothing to do. He saw that there was no good show, so he didn't want to listen to Li Chengqian's fart. He laughed a few times and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the prince. This is a step ahead, I will wait for the door to visit my brother some other day, haha, farewell, farewell." As soon as he finished speaking, he cupped his hands at the crown prince, waved his sleeves, and slipped away.

At this time, Li Zhen was secretly wondering what Li Shimin's intentions were. After being made such a fuss by the prince, she managed to regain her senses. Seeing that the two brothers had disappeared, she couldn't help but smiled wryly, and glanced at the triumphant Li Shimin. Chengqian said: "Brother Prince, my younger brother is now an official, and he is a director of the Ministry of War. I can't help myself. Please forgive me."

"Okay, the eighth brother is dedicated to his work, and the elder brother admires it very much. It is my Tang Dynasty's blessing and the elder brother's blessing to have such a talent as the eighth brother in the imperial court. Yes, yes, yes!" The prince waved magnanimously Do it.

Your luck?Damn it, shit, you are in sight of being deposed, and you are still putting on airs!Li Zhen was tired of Li Chengqian's shameless appearance in her heart, but she didn't want to quarrel with Li Chengqian face to face, she just smiled lightly and said: "The prince's elder brother was wrongly rewarded, the younger brother is just doing his duty, hehe, I'm leaving."

"Well, it's a good thing to have the imperial court in your heart, but you can't be too busy because of it. My brother will use my eighth brother a lot in the future, so go get busy. Haha..." Li Chengqian laughed triumphantly, laughing until Li Zhen's stomach was full Resentment, I don't bother to pay attention to Li Chengqian anymore, after bowing his hands as a gift, he slipped away!

Li Zhen said that she was going to the Ministry of War to do business, but she didn't show up at the Ministry of War. Instead, she hurried back to her palace. Without him, Li Zhen hadn't handed over to Liu Yan yet. Now that she is trapped in the arsenal, Li Zhen has not officially taken office yet, so there is no errand to do. Of course, the more important thing is that Li Zhen is in a hurry to discuss matters with Nalong, so naturally she will not come The Ministry of War has gone.

"Sir, something went wrong..." Li Zhen rushed into the study room. When she saw Nalong, she didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so she hurriedly described the incident in detail. Asked: "In Mr.'s opinion, what is the matter with my father? Why did he help that idiot Prince?"

"Huh? How could this happen?" Nalong was also stunned when he heard that, bowed his head and began to ponder hard. After a long time, he clapped his hands abruptly, stood up and said, "Yes, it should be so. Alas, the Holy One is wise!"

What?wise?Are you right?Li Zhen's head was full of confusion, and she couldn't understand how clever the old man's trick of pretending to be confused was. She looked at Nalong suspiciously and said, "Sir, please speak directly if you have something to say. I am impatient to guess words."

"My lord, the Holy Majesty may not know that Hou Junji has tampered with it, but he must know that the prince has something tricky in it. The reason why he didn't investigate is that he can't." Nalong pointed out with a smile.

"Can't check?" Li Zhen muttered something, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Didn't His Majesty intend to replace the crown prince? Why not..."

Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Nalong said, "Yes, the Holy Majesty is very dissatisfied with the crown prince, but there are three things that we have to be concerned about: First, although the crown prince is humble and incompetent, he is the eldest son, and he is involved in conspiracy I am afraid that this case is not what the Holy Majesty wishes to see. Secondly, if the crown prince is abolished, who should be appointed as the crown prince? I am afraid that the Holy Majesty is not yet sure about this point. If the crown prince is abolished at this time , if another useless talent comes up, wouldn’t the Holy One be ruined? Thirdly, the Holy Majesty didn’t not check, but secretly investigated. Certainly, the Holy Majesty has already started to investigate. Hehe, such a huge amount of weapons disappeared without a trace. There is no trace, how can the Holy Majesty sit in the palace firmly, the left and right are only loose on the outside and tight on the inside, let the prince mess around on the surface, and secretly try to track it down."

"Well, that makes sense." Li Zhen nodded her head and said, "How should I deal with this situation now? Can I add more firewood to make the matter even bigger and kick the old monkey as well?" Let's go out. Since our old man wants to investigate secretly, it means that Hou Junji's actions are not out of holy will. I think this old boy must be a restless and kind bastard. It's better to get rid of him earlier. What do you think? ?”

"Impossible!" Nalong vetoed without hesitation: "One is whether the Holy Majesty is secretly investigating, someone is just guessing, there is no real evidence, and moreover, the prince throwing Hou Junji out at this time is not a wedding dress for others? "

Ha, it’s true, if the old monkey falls down right now, it will only be a waste of money for the prince, it’s better to let the old monkey coax the boss to mess around, I’m just a hunter after the oriole, his mother Yes, if you don't do it, if you want to do it, make a big one!Li Zhen thought for a while, made up her mind, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll just stand aside and watch the excitement. Right now, my foundation is not stable, and it's not a good time to make trouble, so I'll wait a little longer." It's okay to see, hey, order 'Rising Sun' to keep an eye on the old monkey, this king wants to see how hard this old guy can go."

"Your Highness is wise." Nalong flattered with a smile.

"Okay, sir, don't drink the king's ecstasy soup. If you accidentally get drunk, it will be a lot of trouble, haha..." Li Zhen replied with a smile, and the host and guest looked at each other and laughed happily. At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise outside the study, which immediately disrupted Li Zhen's good mood. Feeling angry, she strode out of the study, planning to teach the noisy servants a lesson, but suddenly , suddenly dumbfounded, and complained in his heart: Damn, why did this guy come here again?
