Chapter 351 Doubt

Li Chengqian looked at the secret report that had just been delivered in his hand, and became furious. All these rebels were relatives of his family.

Jing Wang Li Yuanjing is his uncle, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu are his brother-in-law, and Xue Wanche is his uncle.

It's okay for these people not to think about the emperor's kindness, but now they dare to join forces to deal with him. This is the rhythm of killing him, how can Li Chengqian bear this tone.

However, then again, he had to thoroughly investigate how many royal relatives and relatives joined the ranks of opposing him.

Then, we can catch them all in one go, so as not to slip through the net. If there is a conspiracy or something for you every now and then, it will be enough to make you mess up.

Therefore, they must be wiped out to avoid future troubles.

"In addition to King Jing Li Yuanjing, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, An Guogong Zhi Shisili, Qiao Guogong Chai Zhewei, etc., whether they are also involved in it, you have to find out for me." Li Chengqian said to Long Zhi, the commander of Jinyiwei.

This is a major event related to the turmoil of the world, and it is related to whether he can secure the throne of the emperor.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I have ordered Jin Yiwei's brothers to closely monitor King Jiangxia, Duke An and others. As soon as there is any news, I will immediately report to Your Majesty." Long Zhi said.

"This matter is of great importance, and any clues must not be let go, and I must find out carefully." Li Chengqian said.

"I understand!" Long Zhi said.

"You go first! If there is any major discovery, report it immediately. If there is enough evidence to prove that they have rebelled, I will allow you to take action. If necessary, you can execute the law on the spot." Li Chengqian said.

If these people are really plotting something wrong, he doesn't have to be polite to them, just take them down and execute them.

"No!" Long Zhi bowed and stepped back.

After Long Zhi left, Li Chengqian fell into deep thought. If Li Daozong and others had the intention of treason, Li Chengqian didn't quite believe it.

Except for Chai Lingwu, Xue Wanche, and Fang Yiai, he was pretty good to others. He was a high-ranking official with rich salary, riches and honors, so what reason did they have to support Li Yuanjing.

Li Chengqian would not believe that they were not in collusion. In history, Gaozong Li Zhi did not restore their official positions and titles after Changsun Wuji and others were exiled.

They don't even have the idea of ​​redressing their grievances, let alone taking any action. This group of people is redressing their injustices under Wu Zetian.

If they were really wronged, why didn't Tang Gaozong avenge their injustice, but wait until Wu Zetian avenged their injustice.

There is only one answer, that is, they all threatened Li Zhi's rule, and it happened that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang wanted to eradicate dissidents.

A certain tacit understanding was reached between them, and Tang Gaozong used the power of Changsun Wuji and others to completely eradicate these people who threatened him.

This not only solves the hidden danger, but also throws the blame on Zhangsun Wuji and others. If they really settle with Zhangsun Wuji and others in the future, they can bring this matter up for discussion.

This is simply a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone, and you don't have to bear the blame yourself, so why not do it.

After the downfall of Changsun Wuji and others, as for why Li Daozong and others were not vindicated, it was because Tang Gaozong was behind the scenes.

If they were justified, it would be to slap Tang Gaozong in the face again, which would make him sleepless day and night, so it would be better to continue to charge them with treason.

These are just Li Chengqian's guesses, and there is no evidence to prove that his guesses are correct, not that these people also participated in the rebellion.

It was just a political means for Wu Zetian to avenge their grievances.

Therefore, Li Chengqian must strictly investigate and must not be negligent in this regard.

"Everyone! Taiwei's grandson Wuji, and Shangshu's right servant shot Chu Suiliang to see him!" An eunuch walked in, reported to Li Chengqian, and brought Li Chengqian back to reality in his thoughts.

"Xuan!" Li Chengqian said, he already somewhat guessed what Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were here for!

"No!" The eunuch stepped back, and there was a sound of footsteps, and Li Chengqian knew that Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were coming without raising his head.

"Veteran Changsun Wuji (Chu Suiliang) pays his respects to His Majesty!" Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at them, then lay down in a comfortable position and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Your Majesty! I'm here to report to Your Majesty that Fang Yi'ai, Chai Lingwu and others conspired to rebel. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter." Changsun Wuji said.

"How did you know about this? Since they are plotting to rebel, where did you get the news from?" Li Chengqian asked.

In his heart, he was amazed that the intelligence network of Changsun Wuji and others was so powerful, and he had just learned about the rebellion by Fang Yiai and others.

How long has it been?Changsun Wuji and the others actually knew about such a thing, which made Li Chengqian a little uneasy, wondering whether he had Changsun Wuji's eyeliner by his side.

"These are the old ministers' inquiries. Fang Yi'ai and Chai Lingwu conspired to rebel. Because the secrecy work was not done well, the matter was exposed. This is the only time I know about it." Changsun Wuji said.

"When the Taiwei learned about this, he called the old officials to discuss it, and only then did he find out about the rebellion between Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu and others," Chu Suiliang said.

Li Chengqian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he was still wary of Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, who knew what they said was true or not.

"Who is plotting to rebel?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Except for Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang, Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling, Xue Wanche, Princess Danyang, King Jing Li Yuanjing and other principal offenders."

"Wu Wang Li Ke, Jiang Xia Wang Li Daozong, Shi Zhong Yu Wen Jie, General Zuo Xiao Wei, An Guo Gong Zhi Shi Si Li and their relatives all participated in this conspiracy." Changsun Wuji said.

"What evidence does Uncle have to prove that King Jiang Xia and the others also participated in the rebellion?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The old minister has no evidence for the time being, but the old minister implores His Majesty to issue an edict to take them down. It only needs more interrogation to find out whether they are treasonous or not." Changsun Wuji said.

As long as these people are in his hands, his grandson Wuji has many ways to get the other party to admit the crime of treason.

Under torture to extract a confession, even a man of iron can't bear the torture, let alone some flesh and blood.

"They are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty, and there is no evidence to prove that they were rebellious. I will not issue an edict to take them down. It will not be too late to accuse them when there is enough evidence." Li Chengqian said.

Naturally, he would not be fooled by Changsun Wuji and others. Who knows if this good person will be beaten into a trick when he enters the prison.
