Chapter 126

At midnight, Li Ke was in the king's tent.

Qin mubai and Li Ke sat opposite each other and played a game of chess. Between raising his hands and feet, Li Ke is like Li Shimin. There is something in Mingming's heart, but there is no joy or anger in his expression. Calm and self-contained, his face is as deep as water, even his eyes are as clear as water, and his wisdom is overflowing, as if he is simply playing a game of chess.

Qin mubai often thinks that Li Ke is not old, and he is just in his early twenties. How can it be so mature and steady? Perhaps, it is also related to the environment in which he grew up.

I remember hearing a saying that it takes only one night for a girl to become a woman, and it is bound to be successful; while it takes thousands of times for a boy to become a man.

Li Ke is a common son who grew up in the imperial palace. He has experienced all kinds of disturbances and struggles since he was young. As a result, he is only in his early twenties and has a mature trait that his peers don't have. If Qin Mu Bai had not a 30-year-old heart, I'm afraid it would be difficult to connect with him.

"It's late, mubai. Are you sleepy?" Li Ke threw a light finger and asked.

Qin mubai looked at the chessboard and saw that he had lost. The game is over. His chess skill has never been better than that of Li Ke. Moreover, Li Ke has always been very attentive in playing chess. He never lets go of water or does fake things, which is no different from what he does.

"If your highness is sleepy, I will leave first." Qin mubai said.

"No. Talk to me, just don't play chess any more. " Li Ke stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "I didn't expect that. There are so many things in Jiangzhou. We still underestimate our father. Every move he makes has a profound purpose. Mubai, we are very dangerous at the moment, do you know? "

"I know." Qin mubai said, "if Chen Yan really killed Zhang Tianci Then we will destroy the overall situation of the emperor's cloth. Disaster is coming. "

"Yes! Maybe my father would think that we killed Zhang Tianci in order to shirk responsibility and avoid trouble. Or the prince is killing people in order to protect himself, which is also the layout of our father. Anyway, as long as Zhang Tianci dies now, we will be in trouble. " Li Ke said, "the life of this villain is more expensive than anyone else."

Qin mubai was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there is something I have been hiding from you. Originally I didn't want to tell you, but now in order to relieve your pressure, I'd better tell you! "

"What's the matter?" Li Ke asked a little surprised.

Qin Mu Bai Wei smiles and tells Li Ke about he Gan Chengji. So far, there's nothing to hide. After all, Li Ke is the one who bears the most pressure. It's good for his camp to tell him this kind of thing to relieve his pressure.

After hearing this, Li Ke was stunned for a long time, and suddenly stroked his hands and said, "wonderful! The prince made a blind move, but he just finished your wonderful game! Mubai, you've done such a beautiful job. It's a miracle! If it were me, it would be very difficult. I don't know how to deal with this problem! "

"He must die. When he died, the prince would wake up. Now the emperor is laying out the layout, and his intention may be aimed at him. If he doesn't want to wait to die, he should take the initiative to clarify to the emperor that he has nothing to do with the case, or kick Sheng nanhou away from him as soon as possible. " Qin mubai said, "in this way, your Highness's pressure will be much less. In order to investigate the Jiangzhou case against the prince, the emperor regarded his highness and me as gun emissaries, which made us feel a lot of pressure. Now that the prince himself runs out to block the emperor and his highness, it will be much easier for us. "

"Yes, it is!" Li Ke heaved a sigh, clapped his hands and laughed, "you are absolutely right. Now I suddenly feel much more relaxed! In this way, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Tianci is alive or dead! "

"Not necessarily." Qin mubai said, "I always feel that Chen Yan has a problem. It's not as simple as revenge for her husband. I'm afraid she has ulterior motives, since she is determined to kill Zhang Tianci. Did your highness ever think that if Zhang Tianci died at this time, who would benefit the most? "

"This..." Li Ke slightly twisted his brow, and suddenly his eyes brightened. "Do you mean that behind Zhang Tianci, besides the prince, there are also big fish?"

"Hard to say." Qin mubai said, "Your Highness, although the prince is a very hard backstage, he is far away from the capital after all, and usually does not have much time to deal with a small Shengnan marquis. Although Zhang Tianci is the younger brother of his nursing mother, they are also matched by his uncle. But this kind of relationship has neither blood relationship nor interest guarantee. The distance between the two is one foot, one day apart, that is thousands of miles away. So I have been doubting that Zhang Tianci has not only the crown prince, but also the backstage to support him! "

"I'm quite right to hear that." Li Ke nodded and said, "just a marquis. No troops and no real power, how could they be so rampant in Jiangzhou? Even Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun became officials after they took refuge in him. I have to doubt that this person does have some means. "

"So I have more reason to suspect that Chen Yan wants to kill people. Its purpose is to cover the big fish behind shengnanhou. " Qin Mu Bai gently twisted his brows and said, "maybe what the emperor really wants to deal with Is that the man? ""Oh?" Li Ke was startled. He was speechless and lost in thought!

Qin mubai's heart is slightly bright: looking at Li Ke's expression, he mostly thinks of some "important" people, and he has a clue in his heart. What is worth Li Shimin's twists and turns to deal with is certainly not ordinary people, either royal family members or important ministers of the country.

Although it is said that the monarch wants his ministers to die and the ministers have to die, the emperor also needs a reasonable excuse to cover the mouth of the people. Moreover, Li Shimin's behavior is so secretive. If he is really aiming at a certain minister, he mostly just wants to take this opportunity to teach a lesson, but he doesn't really mean to kill people.

"Mubai, it seems that things in Jiangzhou will get worse and worse..." Li Ke Chang took a breath, slowly exhaled, shook his head and said, "if I had known this, I might as well have been idle at home and had nothing to do."

"Your Highness, it seems that you have come up with some clues." Qin mubai said, "is there really another backstage behind the victory of nanhou?"

"It's just speculation. I'm not sure. " Li Ke said softly, "if that person is really him Well, I really don't want to investigate this case any more. "

"Why?" Qin mubai asked in surprise. The person who can make Li Ke have such an idea must be different.

"Because If it's really him, I'd rather go to my father's place to be scolded and punished than shake him out. " Li Ke said.

Qin mubai was silent for a long time. He never knew who Li Ke respected. With whom is the best relationship, or who is more important in his heart than himself.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude Can I know who you are guessing? " Qin mubai asked.

Li Ke looked up at the yellow top of the king's tent under the light of the oil lamp, and said leisurely, "governor of Bingzhou, Minister of the Ministry of inspection and rites, king of Jiangxia, my uncle. Li daozong

"What?! How could it be Qin mubai was really surprised!

Li daozong, Li Shimin's cousin, is one of the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty in the Li's royal family. He is highly respected by people all over the world, and even Li Shimin is very close, trusted and protective to his cousin. A few years ago, in order to cut expenses and gather political power in his own hands, Li Shimin slashed the royal family, but instead added food to Li daozong, king of Jiangxia.

In the first year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty. At the age of 19, Li daozong became the Duke of Lueyang county and started a family of zuoqianniu. In the second year of Wude, 20-year-old Li daozong followed Li Shimin to resist Liu Wuzhou. It was from that war that Li daozong began to display his unparalleled military talent and became famous in the first World War. He assisted Li Shimin, defeated song Jingang and Liu Wuyong, recovered Hedong and stabilized Guanzhong. And personally persuaded the general Yuchi Jingde under Liu Wuzhou.

After that, Li daozong and Li Shimin destroyed Chi Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. He was born in Guanlong military aristocratic group. He was proficient in bowing and horse, brave and fearless of death when he was young. He often took the lead with Li Shimin and bathed in blood side by side. Apart from blood relatives, they had more profound feelings condensed from the blood on the battlefield.

In the fifth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty granted Li daozong the post of commander of Lingzhou road. Finally, he began to defend the northern half of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Liang Shidu ruled xiazhou separately, colluded with Turks, and let his younger brother Liang luoren and tens of thousands of Turk soldiers surround Lingzhou, where Li daozong was located. Li daozong was calm and self-confident. He first defended the city, and then attacked at intervals, killing Turk soldiers. The Tang army expanded its achievements and soon drove the Turks out of Wuyuan's hometown, opening up their territory to the north for thousands of miles!

In that year, the young Li daozong was named the king of Rencheng and became a famous young hero in the world!

Since then, Li daozong has been guarding the northern part of Lingzhou for many years, and has been brilliant in the war with Turks. A few years ago, together with Li Jing, he brought down the northern Turks and captured Jieli Khan. In the war of Tuyuhun in Xiding, he was brilliant. He marched for more than 2000 miles in the cold and desolate area with the tactics of light riding surprise attack. He overtook Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan in Wuhai and overthrew others

As for Li daozong's great achievements in the war, no one in the Tang Dynasty knows it. Just this year, Li daozong had just been renamed king of Jiangxia for his meritorious service, and was awarded the title of governor of Jinzhou and Minister of rites. And they sealed the cities of food. Among the Li family's royal families, the most popular one is Li daozong!

Among all the meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty, Li daozong's fame and status is also out of reach! If Chang sun Wuji loved Li Shimin's trust and respect most because of his nepotism and the special role of the Xuanwu sect, then Li daozong, king of Jiangxia, won Li Shimin's absolute trust and the love and support of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty!

……

If the big backstage behind shengnanhou is Jinzhou governor Li daozong No wonder Li Ke is so hesitant!

"I understand your Highness's feelings." Qin mubai's mood also became a little dignified, "if it's really the king of Jiangxia, then I don't want to further investigate this case. Well, I hope Chen Yan can kill Zhang Tianci this evening. "

"Zhang Tianci, still can't die..." Li Ke's face was sad, his brow was locked, and he said, "Jinzhou is very close to here. Jiangxia king was appointed Jinzhou governor, in fact, he controlled all the troops in Taiyuan. With his fame, qualifications and real power, he can really say the same thing in this area. If Zhang Tianci died suddenly at this time, he was dead without proof and could not be further investigated. But this will only make the father more suspicious, not the best policy. ""Your Highness has a point." Qin Mu Bai nodded. Li Ke's words were obscure. In fact, what he meant was that Li daozong was born in the royal family and had the merit of following the dragon. In addition to his outstanding military exploits and high prestige among his officials and the people, Li Shimin, as a king, is sure to be afraid of him. If they deepen the misunderstanding and suspicion between them, it is definitely a huge political disaster.

"My uncle Huang is good at everything else. Except for one shortcoming that makes people laugh and cry, everything else is perfect." Li Ke said suddenly.

"What is it?"

"Greedy for money." Li Ke shook his head and said. "He's greedy and different from others. Other people are greedy for money, just for enjoyment, or buy land, buy a house, get a wife and concubine, or collect antique treasures, swords and horses. He didn't do anything, just like money. In fact, his life has always been very simple, even a little stingy, but all the money is saved as much as possible, not spent

"That's a real quirk!" Qin mubai couldn't help laughing. "It's reasonable to say that he got a lot of rewards and fiefs for his fame and status, plus his high official position, which is absolutely not short of money. In this way, he became a hobby, just like some people like to collect calligraphy, painting and porcelain. "

"Not bad. That's what he has Li Ke said, "a generation of famous generals and founding fathers have such strange hobbies. It's really ironic to say that. That's why I suddenly thought of him. First of all, the king of Jiangxia was able to say the same thing in the area where Jinzhou was merged. Secondly, Jinzhou was so close to Jiangzhou. Thirdly, he loved money and Zhang Tianci was also greedy for money. Fourthly, Zhang Tianci had a relationship with the prince, which made it very convenient to make friends with the royal family Mubai, if Zhang Tianci's backstage is really the king of Jiangxia, let's give it up, OK? He took Zhang Tianci down by means of thunderbolt and ordered him to be a corrupt king to slaughter officials. At the same time, my father also gave me the right of discretion. It's better to kill it with my hand than Zhang Tianci's unexplained violent death. "

Qin mubai was silent for a moment and nodded: "since your highness is so determined, I have nothing to say. It's just that these are just our guesses. How about waiting until Chen Yan's implementation before making a decision? "

"All right!"

After a long time, the Baiqi pawn who had been sent out to work came back.

"Your Highness, general. Chen Yan has arrived! "

"Where are the people? Is it dead or alive? " Li Ke and Qin mubai got up together and asked at the same time.

"Alive! It's in the abandoned house in the woods three miles outside the military garrison! This woman is fierce and overbearing. She refuses to come with us. Out of desperation, we use force to take it down. " The pawn returned.

"Good, great!" Qin mubai turned to Li Ke and said, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. I'll try Chen Yan. It's all natural! "

Li Ke's expression was also a little anxious, and he seemed to want to go. After thinking about it, he restrained himself and nodded: "OK, I'll leave it to you!"
