Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 528
The assassination of Prince Abandoned and King Wei came to an end, just when everyone thought that the assassination of King Wei was going to be over.

Xu Wang Li Sujie asked to go to Beijing on the grounds that he went to Beijing to mourn his dead brother.

Li Chengqian was also moved by his true feelings, so he allowed him to go to Beijing to express his condolences, and at the same time issued an edict to let the other princes come back to send Li Xiang on his last journey, after all, they are all brothers.

This matter is also discussed in the ruling and opposition parties, and most people are praising Li Sujie's brotherhood.

But caring people noticed something unusual in it.

"Everyone! Zhongshu ordered Di Renjie to seek an audience outside the hall!" Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

During this period of time, Li Chengqian has been staying in the Zichen Hall, discussing any important matters in the Zichen Hall.

"Xuan!" Li Chengqian said.

Di Renjie is the current prime minister, so he must have important matters to discuss with him.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order to retreat and brought in Di Renjie who was outside.

"Chen Di Renjie pays homage to Your Majesty!" Di Renjie saluted.

"Freedom of courtesy! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Di Renjie thanked him.

"Di Qing came to see me, what's the matter?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I came here for the assassination of King Wei." Di Renjie said.

"Assassination of King Wei? Isn't the case of King Wei's assassination already closed? The murderer who assassinated King Wei has committed suicide. This matter is over. Why does Di Qing want to bring up the old story again?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian didn't understand why Di Renjie suddenly remembered Li Xiang's assassination?It doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

"In the case of King Wei's assassination, I feel that there are many doubts. Tian You was originally the long history of King Wei's mansion, and he was also King Wei's grand tutor, and he won the trust of King Wei."

"Why did he assassinate King Wei? He has no grievances with King Wei. Why did he kill him? What is his motive?"

"And why did you kill King Wei when the crown prince was deposed?" Di Renjie said.

"According to Di Qing, you are saying that Tian You's assassination of King Wei was instigated by someone behind the scenes?" Li Chengqian said.

"That's right! If no one instructed you, Tian You would definitely not kill King Wei at this time. All of this is caused by someone behind the scenes." Di Renjie said.

"Then who do you think it is?" Li Chengqian asked.

Although on the surface this incident has passed, secretly Li Chengqian is still looking for the real culprit.

Li Chengqian is also looking for the person behind the scenes, so he wants to see who is behind this?And why do you want to do this.

The arrival of Di Renjie gave Li Chengqian a glimmer of hope.

"I suspect that this matter has something to do with King Xu." Di Renjie said.

"You mean Sujie did this?" Li Chengqian asked with a frown.

It's not that Li Chengqian didn't doubt his sons. After all, Li Jue was deposed and Li Xiang died, and they were all beneficiaries.

"I just suspected that it had something to do with it, and didn't say that it must be him." Di Renjie said.

"I have so many sons, why do you doubt Sujie alone? Don't you doubt Li Wen, Li Wu, and Li Xulun?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian was very curious, why Di Renjie was so sure, this matter was related to Li Sujie, and what basis did he have.

"Before the facts of the case come to light, the other princes are all suspects, but Xu Wang and Li Sujie are more suspected." Di Renjie said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty! How far is Xu Wang from Chang'an now?" Di Renjie asked.

"According to Sujie's letter, he will be able to reach Chang'an in one day. If he is quick, he can reach Chang'an in half a day. Why do you ask this?" Li Chengqian said.

"King Xu's fief is the farthest from Chang'an, but he was the first to know about King Wei's assassination, and he was the first to come to Chang'an."

"The other princes may have just received the news, but King Xu is not far from Chang'an. Why is he so fast?"

"There are two answers. One is that Xu Wang has planned for a long time, so he knew what happened in Chang'an in the first place, and the other is that someone is behind the scenes to help and take the opportunity to remove the obstacles." Di Renjie said.

"In your opinion? Who is behind the scenes?" Li Chengqian asked. He felt that Di Renjie's analysis made sense.

"It may be His Majesty's harem, or it may be the work of several other princes. Only by investigating this matter can we know who it is." Di Renjie said.

"Forget it, I can't let Xiang'er die like this without knowing why. If we find out about this matter, we can give Xiang'er an explanation."

"I will leave this matter to Di Qing and you to investigate, but don't say anything, and investigate this matter secretly. If you need anything, just mention it." Li Chengqian said.

"Resign!" Di Renjie got up and bowed to leave. He came here to persuade the emperor to investigate.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it is natural to leave to investigate the case. A prince was killed in this way. If the investigation is not clear, the reputation of the royal family will be affected.

"Everyone! Li Chang, the son of King Wei, is here, please meet him outside the hall!" Wang Quan said in a low voice.

Li Chang, courtesy name Shizhi, the son of Li Xiang, the prime minister during the Tang Xuanzong period in history, and the abolished prince Li Chengqian was able to be posthumously awarded by Tang Xuanzong as King of Hengshan and Governor of Jingzhou because of him.

"Let him in! After all, he is a poor child who lost his father at such a young age!" Li Chengqian said.

Thinking of Li Jue, Li Chengqian felt sad and couldn't help crying.

"No!" Wang Quan led the order to leave the hall and brought in Li Chang who was outside the hall.

"Grandson Li Chang pays homage to the emperor's grandfather!" A child in filial piety clothes saluted Li Chengqian in a dignified manner.

"Exemption! Come, come to the emperor's side!" Li Chengqian beckoned to Li Shizhi.

Li Shizhi got up and walked up to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian picked him up and put him on his lap.

"Chang'er, why are you here when you're not at home observing your father's filial piety?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I also ask Grandpa Huang to be the master of my father. My father died unjustly." Li Shizhi said.

"How do you know that your father's death was wronged? How do you plan to make grandpa justice for your father?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian felt that this should not be something that a three-and-a-half-year-old child should say, although the ancients were enlightened early.

"I heard this from my elder brother and mother. Later, I asked the housekeeper at home. He said that only the grandpa can uphold justice for the father. That's why my grandson entered the palace and begged the grandpa."

"Grandfather, grandson, please promise me, please." Li Shizhi asked, but his big eyes were fixed on Li Chengqian.

"Okay! Grandpa Huang promised you, but you can't tell anyone about this, understand?" Li Chengqian said.

"Grandson understands!" Li Shizhi nodded happily.

"Wang Quan, ask the Food Bureau to prepare some pastries, bring them here, and give them to my grandson to taste." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and left.
