The news of Li Ke's assassination in Jingzhou, though not publicly acknowledged by the imperial court, has spread throughout the country.
The world is shocked, Kyushu is thundering.
When Li Shimin heard the news of a sudden outbreak of severe illness, even a few imperial doctors who came to treat the disease were under the strict control of Baiqi and could not leave the emperor's palace. With courage, Chang sun Wuji made an appointment with Fang Xuanling to "embezzle" the emperor's private seal, and issued an edict, telling all the officials that the emperor would fast and be quiet in preparation for the memorial day of the former Emperor, so the dynasty was abolished for several days. Fang Xuanling and Chang sun Wuji, together with other prime ministers of the cabinet, were responsible for all the affairs of the court, and Zhu Biao, a member of the cabinet, was used to approve the memorials.
This is a typical art of stealing bells from the ears. All the officials and workers know it very well. If it were not for the extremely urgent and special circumstances, Zhu pi from the cabinet would not have been used to deal with the memorials. There are only two possibilities for this to happen. One is that the emperor left the capital far away and handed over the government to the prime minister; the other is that The emperor suddenly fell ill and even died!
People were in a state of panic. At present, the case of Li Ke, the king of Wu, being assassinated shocked the government and the public. Chang sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling decided to send Chu suiliang, the Minister of Zhongshu, to Jingzhou. We have full authority in this case.
Li Tai, the king of the Wei Dynasty, was a sensitive figure who should have been at the top of the storm, but many days before the Li Ke case, he had already been ill and could not go to court.
At the moment, more attracted the ministers abdominal Fei speculation.
The situation is getting more and more chaotic, but there are rumors in the market. Qin mubai of guanxi supported his troops in the western regions, respected his power, and had a great tendency to divide the land and rule the separatist regime as king!
This rumor is like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil!
From this moment on, the world of the Tang Dynasty. Turbulence, lightning and thunder!
……
Late at night, the head is as big as a fight, and the heart is in a mess. It's hard for Chang sun Wuji to sleep.
Ask yourself, Chang sun Wuji knows that he has a strong desire for power and is selfish. But no matter how we fight, how we plan. The last bottom line is not to destroy the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, let alone harm the emperor.
"If so, my eldest grandson would rather tear himself to pieces!" A punch hammer to the table, changsun Wuji helpless and angry low roar, "can now!..." Is that good? "
- "click"
a flash of lightning cuts through the night sky, and the summer thunderstorm is coming.
Chang sun Wuji was more and more anxious. He got up and paced back and forth, looking at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, he was surprised, "strange! This kind of time, the most should not sit, in addition to my grandson Wuji, there should be another person! But he is calmer than anyone else, and he has never shown his face yet What a strange thing it is
"Is He committed the Jingzhou case? " Chang sun Wuji's inexplicable heart tightened and his brow sank. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said to himself, "it's impossible. Although old four is gloomy, kind-hearted, he should not have the courage to send someone to assassinate him. What's more, most of his subordinates are literati and officials. He is good at writing poems. He kills people and sells goods, but he can't... "
"On the contrary - what if he did it?" Chang sun Wuji's eyes glared, and his face showed a look of panic. "Does that mean that even I have always looked down on him and underestimated him?"
In Chang sun Wuji's heart, a faint chill suddenly appeared, and then evolved into bursts of fear. He couldn't help but think about the worst. If the old king of Wei did it, his ambition and means were beyond his imagination. In this way, this simple and honest looking fat man has a dark stomach. At most, he is a little smart. In fact, his heart is as vicious as snakes and scorpions!
Such a role, or his grandson can control it?
……
"Kacha
Thunder, lightning!
"Somebody, stand by!"
"En Xiang, where do you want to go so late at night?"
"Don't talk too much, stand by the car, go out!"
A moment later, a green lacquered carriage drove out of the back door of situ's house and went straight to Wei's house.
Li Tai, the king of Wei, did not sleep. He seemed to be waiting for Chang sun Wuji. As soon as he was welcomed into the secret room, he fell on his knees and cried: "uncle, help me, help me!"
Changsun Wuji looked at him coldly and condescensively, "didn't you tell me that you were sick? I see you are in great spirits
"My uncle, why do you say that? Tai, indeed, was deeply infected with wind and cold, and almost died. He was able to walk on the ground just now. Then he heard the great movement of the wind and cloud in the court, and nearly lost half his life in fright! " Li Tai cried and begged.
"What are you scared of?" Asked Chang sun Wuji.
"Why is uncle so indifferent?" Li Tai looked up at Chang sun Wuji in amazement, "the third brother was assassinated, and the world thought it was me, Li Tai! Tai, I can't wash it when I jump into the Yellow River! My uncle knows How does your father think and plan? "
"Well, did you do it?""No!" Li Tai trembled all over as if he had been electrified, and his fat flesh trembled. He opened his eyes wide and cried, "heaven and earth can be learned. It's not what Li Tai did!"
"Since you didn't do it, what are you panicking about?" Chang sun Wuji snorted coldly, "don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. There's always a time when things come to light. There's no reason. What do you fear? "
"All talk is good, and the accumulation is bad, my uncle!" Li Tai cried out, "even your uncle Don't you think it's Thai? Otherwise. Why didn't you visit late at night to find out? "
“……” Chang sun Wuji was speechless for a moment. Li Tai's situation did not look like a murderer. Therefore, he relaxed his mind slightly and took a breath of air, "it's better if it's not.". You get up first, and I'll wait for you to have a good discussion. "
"Yes, yes! Thank you, uncle! " Li Tai was so grateful that he struggled to get up on his knees, and Yin Qing helped his eldest grandson Wuji to sit down. He stood aside with his hands down to be his nephew's minister.
"Tell me, what's on your mind now?" Chang Sun Wu Ji didn't want to beat around the Bush and asked directly.
"I..." Li Tai hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "I want to know now, how does my father treat this matter? In addition, it is said that my father suddenly fell ill, but This matter? "
"It's nothing." Chang sun Wuji said firmly, "as for the emperor's mind, it's not something that ministers can guess. But one thing is certain, your Majesty must be very shocked and angry. If the murderer is found out, he will be broken to pieces, and his bones will be filled with ashes! "
Li Tai was stunned. He swore at Chang sun Wuji and said, "I didn't do it!"
"Are you calling yourself up?" Changsun Wuji is not angry.
"No, it's not..." Li Tai said with an embarrassed smile, "suddenly, Tai It's also a mess. "
"Hum..." Chang sun Wuji snorted, then said in a low voice, "the court has sent Chu suiliang to Jingzhou to investigate this case!"
"Oh Li Tai nodded, "yes. If you want to find out, you must find out! Those thieves are so bold that even the royal family dare to attack them! "
Chang sun Wuji carefully observed Li Tai's every move and look change, for a time, he did not find any flaws. After thinking for a moment, he said, "what do you want to say to me? If not, the night is deep. I'll leave. "
"Well Uncle, this... " Li Tai hesitated when he wanted to talk.
"Say it Changsun Wuji gave a low drink.
"Tai has heard that the imperial court has commissioned Zhu PI, the cabinet department. Do you dare to ask your uncle about this?" Li Tai finally asked.
Chang sun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and the light was shining. Then he passed away and nodded quietly. "You are well informed when you are in the hospital. Yes, it is. "
"Well, Tai wants to ask Who is supervising the country now? But my ninth brother, the king of Jin Li Tai asked.
"No Chang sun Wuji said lightly, "Your Majesty is still here, just for a while fasting and quiet, why should the prince supervise the country?"
"No, my uncle?" Li Tai grinned. Laughing very innocuously, he said, "if it were not for extremely critical and special circumstances, the imperial court would not have used the imperial court's Zhupi. Unless Is my father really suddenly ill, or What else happened. "
"Pa" of a heavy ring, changsun Wuji slapped the case, pointing to Li Tai angrily scolded: "Li Tai, you are what home heart?"
Li Tai fell to his knees in fright. "Uncle, calm down. What's Tai's mistake?"
"Don't you know what's wrong, you unfaithful and unfilial person?" Chang sun Wuji angrily scolded, "since I guess your father is seriously ill, you should be worried, distressed and anxious. Look at your present situation, but it is full of satisfaction and joy! ——Say, "where do you live?"
"Well! This That's it Li Tai was speechless for a moment, and the beaded sweat rolled down his forehead. He muttered, "uncle, why are you so excited? Ty just wanted to be clear. Naturally, he was worried about his father's safety. Taining was willing to reduce his life and die, but he didn't want his father to suffer from any illness
"Hum..." Changsun Wuji gave a cold smile, and only scolded in his heart: you fat man, how dare you play with a flower gun and go around in circles in front of me? It seems that if I don't bluff you a few times, you won't show your fox tail!
Chang sun Wuji said, "I repeat, your majesty is not ill. Believe it or not. As for the choice of the prince, you don't have to worry about it. It's not something you should think about, understand? "
"Yes Tai, it's no more than a shared thought. " Li Tai lowered his head and said honestly.
"Then I'll go. You can do it yourself." After that, Chang sun Wuji left.
Now Li Tai is in a hurry. He knelt down on both knees and walked several times in a hurry. He hugged Chang sun Wuji's legs and said, "uncle. How cruel you are
"What are you doing?" Changsun Wuji made an angry appearance.
"Uncle, don't hide it from me, I know it all!" Li Tai finally told the truth, "when the third brother was assassinated, his father was seriously ill, and the imperial court had no master, so it was urgent to use the cabinet Zhu PI! Originally, hearing the news, Tai felt like a knife in his heart. He wished he could not suffer for his father and brother. But I'm more concerned about the overall situation. I don't want my country to fall into chaos and collapse at this time! ""You boy. Right and wrong! " Chang sun Wuji sighed and shook his head. "Up to now, don't you tell the truth?"
As soon as Li Tai was shocked, he kowtowed his head on the ground. "I beg my uncle to help me, and let the governor of Thailand worry about my father and Emperor!"
Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart: look, the fox's tail is finally exposed! When I was your fourth brother, I really had no desire and no desire, and I was devoted to filial piety! After all, it's still the kind-hearted old four. It's easy to change his nature!
"I can't do it. Otherwise, there is no need to delay until today. " Changsun Wuji light way, "after the emperor's health, its own decision."
"The absence of a monarch in such a country is not to make the people panic because the government and the field are constantly suspicious?" Li Tai insisted. "Tai just wants to stand up at this critical moment, serve his country and share his father's worries. So, but also wrong? "
"No mistake." Chang Sun Wu Ji still light way, "but this matter is important, really not I a person can adjudicate."
Li Tai was stunned. He looked up at Chang sun Wuji and said, "uncle. Do you forget the old alliance? "
"What do you mean?" Chang Sun Wu Ji stares at Li Tai unhappily, "are you in Wei Li me?"
"Tai didn't mean it, and he didn't have the guts." Li Tai said, "uncle, why don't we just open the window and tell the truth! ——It is true that the third brother's assassination and his father's illness are the great misfortunes in the world, and Thailand is extremely sad. However, the overall situation is the most important. How can the court have no owner for a day? Let Thailand temporarily supervise the state for a few days. Why not? Just take it as an experience. In the future, when his father and Emperor are well-being, or if he has another will, Thailand will not occupy the position of the governor, or return to the government of his father and emperor, or give way to a brother appointed by his father and Emperor
Chang sun Wuji sneered and said to himself, "you think I'm a three-year-old, so easy to deceive? This is a very special time for you to supervise the administration of the country. Undoubtedly, it is a fact that you are the only choice for the leader of the East Palace, which is more important than the significance of the king of Jin at the beginning! What's more, the king of Jin had no power to fight for a crown prince. He was alienated by the emperor and gave up. The life and death of the king of Wu were uncertain. You are the only one left to enter the east palace Li Tai, Li Tai, you are just too dishonest and mean! It's not known whether you can let me off in the future. Otherwise, the palm and the back of my hand are full of meat. What's the harm, uncle?
"There's no need to talk about it." After pondering for a while, Chang sun Wuji said impatiently, "Your Majesty is still here. Why do you cry so much for a temporary prison seat? It's all up to your majesty. It's useless for you to come to me! "
"So Tai, I dare not say more. " Li Tai bowed to the ground and said, "congratulations to your uncle!"
"In an extraordinary period, you should be careful in your words and deeds and be good at yourself." Chang sun Wuji left the house of King Wei without saying more. He took a bus home.
On the way, Chang sun Wuji pondered many times and said in secret: looking at the situation just now, Li Tai devoted himself to the position of "supervising the state.". Not very worried about being considered a killer. In this way, he is unlikely to be behind the scenes of Jingzhou. So, who should it be?
"It's really strange! Is there another force operating the affairs of the crown prince in secret? " Thinking about this, Chang sun Wuji was surprised, "who would that be? Inside and outside the government. Who else can have such ambition and ability? "
