Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 18 King Qi's Confession
Early the next morning, Zhao Jie hurried to the East Palace to look for Li Chengqian.

"Zhao Jie, why did you come to the East Palace so early today? This doesn't look like your style, what's the matter? I didn't go to Fireworks and Willow Lane to be happy last night!" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! Something serious happened!" Zhao Jie said.

"What happened?" Li Chengqian looked blank!
"Last night, King Qi was interrogated overnight in Dali Temple. King Qi confessed to many accomplices, and many officials from the court and central government have already been imprisoned."

"I heard that Chengyin Hongzhi, the censor, refused to be arrested and was killed by the forbidden army on the spot. A large number of weapons and armor were found in the secret room of his house."

"Now, Concubine Yinde is also thrown into the cold palace." Zhao Jie said.

Yin Hongzhi had a blood feud with his Li family, and Li Chengqian was not surprised at all when weapons and armor were found in his house!
"Lang Jun! Concubine Du is here!" Wang Quan came in to report to Li Chengqianhui.

"Let him in!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order to retreat, and then led Du He in again.

"Du He! You often come to me, my little sister is afraid to eat me." Li Chengqian joked to Du He who came in.

Du He was taken aback!Then there was a wry smile, the prince has really changed recently, not only his temper is not so irritable, but now he can still make jokes.

"Your Highness! King Qi Li You has already confessed everything, and he also said that Hegan Chengji is the dark son he sent to His Highness." Du He said.

Zhao Jie was shocked!He didn't expect that Hegan Chengji was actually a member of the King of Qi. Fortunately, he was killed in advance. Otherwise, who knows whether Hegan Chengji would take risks and do something that would endanger the prince when he knew his identity had been exposed.

Li Chengqian was not surprised by this result at all!He had known for a long time that Hegan Chengji was related to King Qi. Li You was a timid person, and when he was in prison, he was frightened, so naturally he recruited everything.

Du He looked at Li Chengqian who was not fluctuating, and thought to himself: I never thought that the prince would become so calm and calm now, and his temperament became more and more calm, not as violent as before.

Du He not only thought, what happened to the prince?How long has it been, and there is such a big change.

"Your Highness! How did you know that Hegan Chengji is Li You's man?" Du He asked in confusion.

Li Chengqian was taken aback, he really didn't know how to tell them about this, it was a memory from his previous life, he couldn't tell them so bluntly!
It would be no wonder if he wasn't considered insane!
"I didn't know that he was Li You's person. I just noticed that Hegan Chengji was a little strange recently. He often contacted people who could secretly. Just to be on the safe side, I got rid of him when he was in Huayin County." Li Chengqian said.

There is only such vague words, hoping to get away with it.

"So that's how it is! No wonder His Highness insisted on killing this Hegan Chengji. I thought it was strange at the time! Now I understand what His Highness did back then." Zhao Jie said.

"Yes! What a blessing!" Du He said.

No one would suspect that Li Chengqian killed Hegan Chengji in order to kill people and cover up the fact that he wanted to rebel.

Even Li Er, Changsun Wuji and other court ministers believed that when the crown prince was assassinated in Huayin, Hegan Chengji mistakenly thought that these assassins were sent by Li You, so he suddenly exposed himself. For anti-killing.

"By the way, Your Highness! When Wei Ting was exiled in Xiangzhou, the king of Wei personally sent Wei Ting for a ride. It is said that Wei Ting also persuaded the king of Wei to go to Huayin to recruit Wang Fangyi." Du He suddenly thought of this matter.

This is also the main purpose of his coming to the East Palace, and the matter about Hegan Chengji is just a casual talk.

"Du He, you need to come to the East Palace to report to His Highness in person for such a trivial matter, it would be too fussy."

"If you ask me, the people sent by the king of Wei may be kicked out if they don't even see Wang Fangyi's face."

Zhao Jie sneered, what the crown prince couldn't do, could he, the king of Wei, do?
Unless Wang Fangyi was a fool, he would be foolish enough to follow a prince instead of the current prince.

The crown prince got a bad nose, and the king of Wei must not be much better.

Just wait and see Wei Wang's joke.

"Zhao Jie, this matter should not be so simple. I would like to know how Qingque did it? Did he listen to Wei Ting?" Li Chengqian said.

With Wei Ting's sophistication, how could it be possible for Li Tai to just send someone to Fengquan Villa and finish the job, there must be someone behind him.

"The king of Wei has already entered the palace to meet His Majesty! I would like to commend Wang Fangyi's filial piety to His Majesty, and recommend him to be an official in the court and be added as a staff member of the Wei Palace." Du He said.

"It seems that Jiang is still old and hot. Wei Ting's move is really clever. In this way, as long as Wang Fangyi has the idea of ​​becoming an official, he will be ordered to go to Beijing, and that kid Li Tai can get Wang Fangyi without any effort. This is a strong general." Li Chengqian had to admire Wei Ting.

If I had known that he would not have rushed to Huayin County to invite this Wang Fangyi, he would have gone directly to Da Nei to ask Li Er to issue an edict to let Wang Fangyi come to the East Palace.

However, if this is not the case, there may be no chance to break Li Tai's arm, so it is not a disadvantage to think about it.

Li Chengqian and the others didn't know that Wei Ting not only taught Li Tai to use this method to attract Wang Fangyi, but also asked Li Tai to participate in Zhao Jieyi in front of Li Er.

Let Li Er drive Zhao Jie back to Yangzhou and transfer Zhao Jie away from Li Chengqian, so that Li Chengqian will lose a confidant.

Zhao Jie is a good person in everything, but his private life is a bit indiscreet, and he often stays in the fireworks and wine alley.

If there is nothing in normal times, after all, there are a few men in the Tang Dynasty who are not good at it, but the key to join him is Li Er's most beloved Qingqueer, then Zhao Jie will be in trouble.

"Should Wang Fangyi refuse?" Zhao Jie asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head, Du He scolded with a smile: "How dare you not come if your Majesty ordered him to go to Beijing, what kind of stupid words did you say?"

"Lang Jun!" An eunuch trotted in and saluted Li Chengqian.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengqian said.

"Lang Jun! Princess Changguang's mansion sent someone to say that the princess told Zhao Inspector to go back, saying that His Majesty sent someone to the Princess' Mansion to issue an edict to Inspector Zhao." The eunuch said.

Li Chengqian and Du He looked at Zhao Jie, and said in their hearts: "It's so good, why are you issuing an edict to Zhao Jie at this time."

They had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"Zhao Jie, you should go back and see what's going on!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Zhao Jie bowed and retreated, and hurried back to the house.

"Wang Quan! Immediately send someone to Guangchang Princess Mansion to investigate the situation and see what's going on." Li Chengqian said.

"Your servant understands!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

soon!There was news from the Guangchang Princess Mansion that Zhao Jie was relegated from the position of governor to be a magistrate of a place farther from the capital.

He also asked Zhao Jie to leave Chang'an immediately and go to be the county magistrate, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.

After getting this news, Li Chengqian was stunned!Before he even had time to meet Zhao Jie again, Zhao Jie was sent out of Chang'an.
