Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li Ke felt that he still needed to discuss with Cen Wenwen about the Chang'an League, so he drove to Cen's residence.

Cen Wenwen invited Li Ke to the study, and the two sat opposite each other.Li Ke said, "Ke was banned by his father for a month, and he held a Cuju rehearsal match. I can only come to see you today. I hope you don't blame me."

Cen Wenwen cupped his hands, "Wenwen can't blame His Highness, the Cuju rehearsal match held by His Highness was very successful, won the emperor's appreciation, and this minister is also happy for His Highness."

Li Ke took a deep breath, "Sir, now I want to hold the Chang'an Final Competition, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

Seeing Li Ke's seriousness, Cen Wenwen said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

"There are two purposes for holding the Chang'an city competition: one is to show my father my ability. The other is to attract the murderer who assassinated me and wanted to put me to death through this competition." Li Ke said respectfully, "It's just The risk is quite high, and you still need Mr. Guidance."

After thinking for a while, Cen Wenwen said, "Your Highness, you can't have both fish and bear's paw. Do you want bear's paw? Or fish?"

Li Ke didn't understand what Cen Wenwen meant, so he asked suspiciously, "Please teach Ke, sir."

Cen Wenwen looked at Li Ke in front of him, and felt that he was still a little too eager for quick success, "Your Highness wants to prove your ability to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with that. However, the most urgent thing to do is to find out the real culprit and the mastermind behind the murder. matter."

"Sir, are you saying that you want to set a bait with the Chang'an City Competition, and completely chop off this murderer?" Li Ke said thoughtfully, "It's just that the Chang'an City Competition may be difficult for him to take the bait."

Cen Wenwen laughed and said, "Did Your Highness think that the real culprit and the mastermind behind the plot can be completely eradicated through Chang'an Sai?"

"What do you mean, sir?" Li Ke was puzzled.

"Does Your Highness think that the black hand behind the plot will come forward in person?" Cen Wenwen asked Li Ke. He wanted to test Li Ke to see if he understood this matter thoroughly.

"To be honest, I don't think it's easy for the black hand to show up." Li Ke said slowly, "He will have a lot of cards in his hand, so there is no need for him to risk himself. So, before he finishes playing The cards in the book will not be played by yourself."

Cen Wenwen was quite satisfied with Li Ke's reply, "What if he doesn't want to take action personally this time?"

Li Ke wondered, "Why would you say that, sir? Could it be that he has other plans?"

Cen Wenwen looked at the eager Li Ke, and thought, Your Highness is still not calm enough, "The emperor will definitely attend the Chang'an finals, if the black hand behind the scheme sends an assassin to assassinate the emperor, then even if it doesn't work, you, the host It will definitely be implicated. Then is the best time for him to make a move."

"So, sir, what do you mean is that the murderer will use the method of assassinating the emperor to frame me, and then wait for an opportunity to attack?" Li Ke's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his face turned pale, "Does sir mean that the murderer is in the middle of the court, or The murderer is someone? Otherwise, how can he grasp every move of the court in time?"

"According to my guess, the murderer is very likely to be hiding in the court." Cen Wenwen said, "His Royal Highness's plan for holding the Chang'an City Competition is good, but it seems a bit far-fetched to lure him out. Therefore, I want to pass this It is impossible for the game to eliminate him. However, it is still possible to draw a few cards in his hand."

Li Ke didn't expect, he really didn't expect that the chief conspirator that Cen Wenwen said would be in the court of Datang.Could it be Changsun Wuji?However, he also felt that the person who assassinated him was planned by his eldest grandson Wuji.Just imagine, if Changsun Wuji really said that, then he and Li Chengqian were assassinated at the same time, but the degree of injury was obviously different, which already makes people suspect that Changsun Wuji did it.Li Ke felt that Changsun Wuji's resourcefulness would not do such a thing, and it was obvious that it was a conspiracy by him.

However, when Cen Wenwen said this, the eldest grandson Wuji who Li Ke thought was the most suspected was ruled out, so who would it be?

Seeing that Li Ke was in a daze, Cen Wenwen sighed and said, "Your Highness, haven't you heard the folk rumors?"

"What rumor?" Li Ke asked.

"About Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, is it your grandfather Yang Guang's rumor about the treasure?" Cen Wenwen said, he wondered that Li Ke was completely unaware of such rumors related to him.In fact, it's not that Li Ke doesn't know, but that Li Ke doesn't know now. Li Ke, who died long ago, must know.

"Treasures, my grandfather's?" Li Ke was startled suddenly. Could it be that what he guessed was true? Concubine Yang did have a batch of treasures in her hands.Experts like Liu Heng and Yang En are by Concubine Yang's side to protect that treasure.

Seeing that Li Ke really didn't know, Cen Wenwen told him in detail, "It is rumored among the people that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty began to collect treasures from the people to enrich the national treasury after he ascended the throne. Later, he conquered Korea three times and made the people's lives miserable. The situation where heroes compete for the throne. According to legend, it was at that time that Emperor Yang of Sui ordered people to hide most of the gold and silver in the treasury and the treasures he collected in a secret place." Cen Wenwen Because Li Ke is Yang Guang's grandson, so An understatement of Yang Guang's extortionate extortion.

"Actually, this rumor began to spread among the people at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Later, Emperor Gaozu punished many people who searched for the treasure and ordered the ban on rumors, so the legend of the treasure was gradually forgotten by people. Now, I am afraid that people who remember it have already Running out."

After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Li Ke suddenly wanted to understand something, but felt very vague.If Concubine Yang really has a treasure, what does it have to do with the murderer?Could it be that the mastermind who assassinated him was really Changsun Wuji?However, as far as Changsun Wuji was concerned, it was impossible for him to take risks for a batch of treasures.But who else would it be?Who has the courage to call Yang Fei's attention to the treasure?

Changsun Wuji, as General Zuo Wuhou, is in charge of Datang's intelligence department. Li Ke can't think of anyone other than him with such strength and power.What is the relationship between Treasure Treasure and Changsun Wuji?Perhaps, it is not worthy of Changsun Wuji alone, it may involve many people.

Li Ke thought of this, and suddenly found that the current Datang is no longer the historical Datang that he said he knew.He didn't expect his situation to be so delicate.No wonder, in history, Li Ke had no ambition to fight for the crown prince, and he was not established as the crown prince with outstanding literary talents. Could it be related to these rumored treasures?

Cen Wenwen saw that Li Ke was contemplating, and his face was changing. He felt that it was necessary to persuade him, "Your Highness, I hope that your Highness should be careful about the treasure. After many days of thinking, the murderer is very likely to attack you for the sake of the treasure. As for why he did this, I don't know."

Li Ke understood what Cen Wenwen was worried about, "Does the gentleman think that the concubine knows that Ke was assassinated for the treasure?"

"Not only the empress knows, but I think that the emperor also knows the real reason for His Highness's assassination." Cen Wenwen said carefully, "So, since the emperor knew about it but did not pursue it, it can be seen that this matter is very complicated. Your Highness should not ask about the treasure for the time being. Weichen thinks that the empress does not tell you, it must be for your own good, she has her own ideas. As long as the time is right, the empress will definitely tell you. If you mention this matter to the empress at this time, one will let you The empress is in a dilemma, and secondly, I am afraid I will ignore you."

Li Ke is in a state of chaos now. Concubine Yang's treasure was assassinated by someone, so the mastermind behind the murder will go to court because of it?The murderer killed himself for the treasure?All of this made Li Ke fall into a conspiracy, and he felt like he was their pawn.What to do now?Could it be that they are still leading him?

What if I asked Concubine Yang myself?Certainly not, as Cen Wenwen said, Concubine Yang refused to tell her the secret, most likely to protect herself.In history, Li Ke was outstanding in civil and martial arts, but the throne fell beside the cowardly Li Zhi, which may have something to do with these treasures.Another point is that it is recorded in history that Concubine Yang was the only woman among Li Shimin's many concubines who was able to die safely after Li Shimin's death. It is estimated that it may also have something to do with Baozang.Otherwise, so many concubines of Li Shimin would get married without being buried, so why was only Concubine Yang able to die well?

Cen Wenwen has been paying attention to Li Ke's reaction, and he just wants to see if Li Ke can adopt his suggestion, to see if he can not be tempted by these huge treasures, and can bear it temporarily.Because, after all, the treasures were left by Yang Guang from the previous dynasty, it is understandable for Li Ke to say that he wants to get these treasures.But when the sky is about to send a great mission to the people, they must first work hard on their hearts and minds and their muscles and bones.Therefore, if Li Ke disregards the overall situation, does not follow his own advice, and insists on going his own way, he must thoroughly investigate the treasure.Then how can I stop him? If something happens in the future, even if I want to help him, I can't do anything.

Therefore, this is a test for Li Ke, and Cen Wenwen wants to use such a test to see Li Ke's will, to see if he has the strong will not to be moved by foreign objects that makes great achievements.

Suddenly, Li Ke's gaze became cold and sharp, "Sir, what do you think Ke should do?" Li Ke thought that since he was still in the game, why not play a game of chess with them?Besides, if the rumors about the treasure were true, it would not be a bad thing for him, but a good thing.

Cen Wenwen saw Li Ke's calmness, that unique decisiveness, and his courage to withstand such a big temptation, he was happy, and nodded slightly, "I thought that the same should be used to respond to all changes, Your Highness now What we have to do is to run the Chang'an competition well, and then we can find a trace of clues from it. It is not too late to investigate this matter until we have the ability and strength. Because, the information we have now There are too few, and there is a lack of talents in this area. Therefore, it is not appropriate to pursue it for the time being, and wait for the opportunity."

Li Ke agrees with Cen Wenwen's attention. Cen Wenwen's words are very clear. Now I have rights and no rights. If there are no horses and no horses, what ability is there to thoroughly investigate such a major matter?If you insist on tracking down, you will get yourself into trouble.
