Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 112 Li Chengqian's Purpose (2)

"Chengqian, Zhinu has been benevolent and filial since he was a child. I believe that Zhinu will never do such a thing. As his elder brother, if you don't help Zhinu clarify, is it possible that you still want to slander him like a person with ulterior motives?" Li Er pointed at Li Chengqian and roared angrily.

To be honest, Li Zhi is definitely the most filial among all Li Er's children. If it weren't for Wu Zetian's stain, Li Zhi would definitely be eligible to enter the list of 24 filial piety.

"Father, calm down!" Li Chengqian said.

"How can you calm me down! I have always hoped that you brothers can get along with each other in harmony and be respectful to each other. Who knew that you would actually do something like fighting against each other."

"You really let me down so badly, why did you become like this?" Li Eryi asked Li Chengqian heartbroken.

"Father, my son never doubted Zhinu. Zhinu is a pure and good-natured child, and he will never do anything against human ethics. My son has never doubted Zhinu." Li Chengqian said.

But Li Chengqian kept roaring in his heart: Your filial son is having an affair with that woman Wu Zetian, there is no doubt that it is a fact.

"Then what do you mean by what you said just now? Since you didn't suspect Zhinu, why did you say that?" Li Er said.

"Young slaves can't do such a mediocre thing with connivance, but the father can be sure of the martial arts, and will not make any overstepping actions."

"Young slaves are simple-minded, so it is inevitable that they will not be seduced by others. What should we do if a martial artist seduces the inferior slaves to do some unspeakable things?" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian didn't care whether Wu Zetian and Li Zhi hit it off, or who seduced who, it was not something he wanted to ask more about right now.

"Your Majesty, you mean that this Wu Mei is seducing the childish slave. This Wu Mei is the source of the rumors, and the rumors are likely to come from her?" Li Er said.

If things were really as he had guessed, Li Er would never let this offending woman go.

"In any case, no matter whether it is Wu Cairen who is seducing the young slave or not, for the sake of the future of the young slave, I suggest that we get rid of Wu Cairen as soon as possible." Li Chengqian said.

As long as Wu Zetian died, Li Chengqian's goal would be considered accomplished.

"Doing this really make the rumors disappear? No longer will it have any influence on the young slave?" Li Er asked.

"That's right! Once Wu Cairen dies, the rumors will be self-defeating. We are controlling them. With this two-pronged approach, I believe that the rumors will soon disappear."

"Once a martial artist dies, those with ulterior motives will no longer have an excuse to make trouble, and everything will eventually return to tranquility." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian believed that Li Er would understand what he meant, and he believed even more in what choice a father would make for his son.

Killing Wu Zetian can stop the rumors, just like Li Er killed the hidden prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

Li Er has lost his mind because of Li Zhi's son. As long as he can completely solve the problem of rumors, killing a talented person is nothing.

"Chengqian, you are right. The root of everything lies in the misfortune caused by Xiao Qiang. Wu Mei, a coquettish girl, is not a pity to die in a promiscuous harem." Li Er decided to execute Wu Zetian without hesitation.

"Father, in order to further reduce the damage to the young slave from the rumors, I believe that the young slave should be allowed to leave Luoyang and return to Chang'an."

"The rumors in Chang'an have disappeared. Returning to Chang'an and changing the environment is also good for the young slave."

"Without Luoyang, where martial talents and young slaves are present, the rumors will completely disappear." Li Chengqian suggested again.

Li Chengqian did this not to care for his younger brother, but to better monitor Li Zhi.

Li Chengqian didn't know whether the assassination was planned by Wu Zetian alone, and what role Li Zhi played in it.

Did Li Zhi get involved? To be on the safe side, he decided to take Li Zhi back to Chang'an and put him under his nose so that he could monitor Li Zhi easily.

"Let's stop here today! You're tired from traveling and traveling, so go back and rest first. Let me think about this." Li Er said.

"My son, leave!" Li Chengqian got up and saluted, took his leave and left.

What Li Er was thinking about was not about Wu Zetian, but about whether Li Zhi wanted to return to Chang'an.

Li Zhi stayed by his side since he was a child and never left, but now he is going to leave him and return to Chang'an alone, Li Er is a little worried.

Therefore, Li Er should think carefully about whether Li Zhi should be allowed to return to Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian washed and dressed neatly under the service of the maid.

Wang Fangyi, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness!"

"You're here! Have dinner with the widows, and prepare a breakfast for Fang Yi." Li Chengqian told Wang Fangyi while ordering Wang Quan to prepare breakfast.

Wang Quan was ordered to retreat.

Li Chengqian sat at the first place, and Wang Fangyi sat at the first place on the left.

Wang Quan asked the maid to bring up the prepared breakfast.

The breakfast is relatively light. In addition to a bowl of porridge made from millet, there is also a dish of dried vegetables and two kinds of vegetables.

"Fang Yi! Is there any movement on Father's side?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Er thought about it all night, and there should be a conclusion. Wu Zetian will definitely not stay. How Li Zhi arranges depends on what Li Er thinks.

"Your Highness! Just now the insider came to report. His Majesty ordered Wang Yuan to go to Wu Cairen. His Majesty rewarded Wu Cairen with food and wine." Wang Fangyi said.

"Father wants to give Wu Cairen to death. Anyway, Wu Cairen is also Father's concubine. It's okay to leave her whole body."

"However, we still can't take it lightly, let the widow pay close attention to it, and the widow must confirm that the martial artist is really gone." Li Chengqian said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! I've already let the insiders watch closely, and nothing will go wrong." Wang Fangyi said.

"With your words, the widow will feel at ease! By the way, how did the father arrange for the young slave?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty has not made any arrangements for King Jin, everything remains the same," Wang Fangyi said.

Li Chengqian nodded and didn't say much. For him, as long as Wu Zetian died, no one else would pose any threat to him.

Whether you put Li Zhi by your side is not that important, even if you put Li Zhi in Luoyang, it doesn't matter.

There is his eyeliner here, who can monitor Li Zhi's every move at any time, and there is nothing wrong with him.

What's more, it won't be long before Li Er is going to lead the army in person, and Li Zhi definitely can't take him with him.

Even in the end, if Li Zhi really did something, it would be convenient for him to do it. Li Eryuan was in Liaodong, and it was beyond his reach to save Li Zhi.

After Li Chengqian had breakfast, the latest news came from the inside line. Wu Zetian died of poison after drinking the fine wine rewarded by Li Er, and was dragged out to be buried.
