Chapter 543

Chang sun Wuji called Chu suiliang and told him what Li Tai said. They discussed that since they had the first complaint against the king of Wei, they had the preliminary evidence to arrest Wei Ting!

After all, the Wei family is a famous family in Chang'an, so it is inconvenient to mobilize people to catch people in the daytime, so as not to arouse people's suspicion and cause a huge storm of public opinion. After all, there is Wei Guifei, the first of the four imperial concubines in the harem. It is not known whether she is related to the case. Therefore, the two prime ministers ordered general Wei Chi Baoyun of Baiqi to lead 200 imperial guards of Baiqi to Weiting's house at night, and then "invite" Weiting.

Unexpectedly, when Wei Chi Baoyun and others came to Wei Ting's house, they didn't come into the house to pick up people, but they heard the wailing and crying in his house. Only when I came in did I know that Wei Ting had just killed himself!

Wei Chi Baoyun saw that the suspects were all dead. In order to minimize the impact of the situation, he did not show the intention of his trip to the Wei family. After confirming that Wei Ting is dead. He withdrew the men and horses and reported the news to several prime ministers such as changsun Wuji.

"That's good. There's no proof of death!" Chang Sun Wu Ji stares at the king of Wei who is sitting on one side and is stunned and says, "king of Wei, how are you doing?"

"Situ. Ladies and gentlemen, this This has nothing to do with Xiao Wang! " Li Tai, the king of Wei, said in panic and full of grievance, "Wei Ting's family can testify that he committed suicide by hanging a beam of his own!"

"Yes, he did. But if you didn't force him, how could he be short-sighted? " Changsun Wuji sneers. He snorted angrily again, "well, now Wei Ting is dead. Everything is dead without proof."

Fang Xuanling next to him arched his hand and said, "situ, it's not good to act on the basis of speculation. There is no clue to why Wei Ting committed suicide and whether he is really the prime culprit in the case of King Wu. We can neither wrongly punish the king of Wei nor take his one-sided words as the final evidence of this case. "

Fang Xuanling said a fair word, and both Chang sun Wuji and Chu suiliang nodded their heads. Li Tai, who was drooping his head, glanced at Fang Xuanling, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Your Highness, go back to your mansion and don't leave it for the time being." Chang sun Wuji threw this sentence at Li Tai.

"Well Xiao Wang is leaving. " Li Tai arched his hand to Chang sun Wuji and others and left Hongwen hall.

"Now what?" Chang sun Wuji and Chu suiliang said this sentence almost at the same time.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "it's better to listen to Duke Wei. Now it's the first task to maintain the stability of the court and protect your majesty. At the same time, we should not neglect the search and rescue of King Wu and King Jin. I think this case involves a wide range of people. Besides Wei Ting, there must be other clues and insiders. Zhu Suiliang, you will continue to investigate secretly, and make sure that the case can be found out.

"Yes." Chu suiliang agreed.

Chang sun Wuji kept his eyebrows locked and silent.

Soon after the change of the Prime Minister of Hongwen hall, Chang sun Wuji left Hongwen hall and went directly to the palace of King Wei.

Li Tai knew that he would come, so he hurried to greet him.

"Your skill is to hide your ears and steal the bell, which makes you not clever at all!" Chang Sun Wu Ji stared at the king of Wei, gritted his teeth and said, "it's too obvious for you to ask Wei Ting to be your substitute! Chu suiliang and Fang Xuanling are not stupid. Even without Wei Ting's clue, can't they pursue them separately? When the facts are clear, I'll see how you end up! "

"My uncle, Wei Ting's death has nothing to do with me." Li Tai's general appeal of praying for God and worshiping Buddha said, "including assassinating King Wu, it has nothing to do with me! Wei Ting probably heard that I was going to the cabinet to expose him. In order to protect his family and Princess Wei, he was afraid of committing suicide! "

Chang sun Wuji frowned deeply for a while and said, "thinking about it, Wei Ting's motives for all these things are confused. If it was only because of his previous festivals with the king of Wu, he would not have done so many things. So I guess that if he assassinates the king of Wu and then targets you to attack the king of Jin, Li Shen, the son of Princess Wei, will have a chance to fight for the position of the east palace. If he succeeds, he will be the uncle of the country who has made great contributions in the future, and will surely be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand others. But he had only the unpopular concubine Wei and the young king Ji as the foundation. I'm just a censor doctor, and my son is just a Beidu left behind, but he has to fight against the whole court. Don't you think he's too arrogant, King Wei? "

"Yes, yes..." Li Tai nodded frequently, suddenly stunned, "after all, my uncle still suspected that I had instigated Wei Ting secretly? And then kill him? "

Changsun Wuji gave a cold smile, "yes or no, we have no way to know. Whether you secretly instigate or use a knife to kill people, and then kill them, these things become irrefutable with Wei Ting's death. "

"Uncle!" Li Tai almost screamed hysterically, "I didn't do it!"

"What are you shouting about?" Chang Sun Wu Ji angrily scolded and glared at him and said, "if it wasn't for you, you don't need to panic at all! Is it time for you to panic? "

Li Tai looked at Chang sun Wuji and said in a low voice: "uncle, I feel my conscience to tell you the truth. The assassination of King Wu has nothing to do with Wei Ting's death. I'm clean and thorough. Whatever Chu suiliang does, they can do! The earlier the case comes to light, the better. By then, we can give justice to the dead. You can give me back my innocenceChang sun Wuji's face was as heavy as water. He nodded noncommittally and said, "since you didn't do it, that's good. No matter what the case is, the fact is King Wu is dead! "

Li Tai was stunned at first, and then he was in full bloom. have a fine colour in one 's cheeks!

Chang Sun Wu Ji glanced at him and said coldly, "you'd better be honest and honest recently. Don't show your feet or do anything out of line. Hum!"

"Yes, yes! Li Tai remembers the instruction of his uncle. He dare not be presumptuous at all Li Tai bowed and arched his hand in joy. Repeatedly promised.

Changsun Wuji no longer words, a caress sleeve away.

Li Tai was left alone in the room, so excited that he almost rolled all over the floor!

"Great, great!" Li Tai rubbed his hands and walked back and forth, just like the leech on the hot pot, but his face was red and his eyes were about to shine. He said to himself, "my mother's uncle is my mother's uncle. No matter how fierce he is to me, how abusive I am in front of outsiders, and even want to beat me, his heart is still towards me! There's a saying he didn't say - King Wu died at Wei Ting's hands. He must be too happy to do so! "

"He came here today to tell me that the king of Wu was gone, and that his ninth brother, King Jin, had been abandoned by his father and his uncle. He didn't think about it at all This is the position of the east palace. Sooner or later it will be mine

"It seems that I am still too anxious and confused! Wei Ting was so obviously forced to die that Chu suiliang and Fang Xuanling doubted me. Uncle, this is to warn me! OK, OK, I'll be more astringent and do nothing in the future! Anyway, the people who are fighting with me are no longer here. I'll just sit and wait for the crown prince to come to my head. Ha ha

"Oh, my mother's uncle, my good uncle!" Li Tai couldn't help laughing, "the first time I thought that the more fierce you were to me, the more amiable and respectable you were! You can beat and scold me in the future! The more you beat and scold me, the more good I'll get! "

Zhongnan mountain. In the Taoist temple.

Li Ke is sitting reading a book with a pot of tea boiling beside him. Zhao Chong was playing a game of chess by himself, feeling his chin and playing with his face.

Li Ke glanced at Zhao Chong, frowned slightly and continued to read his book. But my eyes are fixed on the book. The heart does not know where to fly, completely absent-minded.

They just sat quietly without a word. Occasionally I heard the sound of the flag falling from the plate in Zhao Chong's hand. Besides, everything was quiet.

It is clear that there are two people in the room, but Zhao Chong plays chess with himself. Anyone who looks at this situation will feel strange. But Zhao Chong doesn't care. They played a game of chess. Since then, Li Ke has never played with him again.

Because Li Ke thinks that Zhao Chong's chess is too eccentric and tricky, which is not reasonable at all. He often talks about him from left to right when playing chess, and he is not focused at all. Like Li Shimin, Li Ke's chess is the second best. As long as he holds black and white in his hand, he is like going to the battlefield and concentrating.

"It's still interesting to play chess with Qin mubai, although his chess is very bad." This is what Li Ke said.

Since then, Zhao Chong has never played chess with Li Ke. He knew that playing chess was like drinking wine. It would be interesting to meet a confidant, otherwise it would be tasteless. Between him and the king of Wu, one is a bandit in the river and lake. One is the royal family. It's hard for them to fit in. Now, if it wasn't for his interests, it would be impossible to be in the same roof.

Moreover, after all, King Wu is not Qin mubai. Qin mubai can have a drink with the prince, and he can also be brothers with the people in the Jianghu. Li Ke can't. Therefore, Zhao Chong and King Wu can never be friends. It's not a crime to be servile to him.

"Zhao Chong, I want to go to Chang'an. Can you arrange it?" Li Ke said suddenly.

"No Zhao Chong replied without thinking, "for your Highness's safety, and of course for my own life, your highness must not go to Chang'an at this time!"

"Can you send some good men down to Chang'an. Come back with some information? " Li Ke said, "I sit here and know nothing about the outside world."

Zhao Chong laughed, threw the pieces into the basket and said, "what does your highness want to know?"

"I want to know if my father, mother and concubine are well? What is the attitude and reaction of the court to the rumor of Qin mubai's rebellion? And I've been missing for so long. How did the court trace it? " Li Ke asked.

Zhao Chong said with a smile, "Your Highness has so many questions. Let me answer them as soon as possible."

Li Ke is slightly surprised, "originally you have already sent someone to investigate, why don't you tell me?"

"Because your highness didn't ask!" Zhao Chong said, "your majesty and empress Yang are very good. Your highness can rest assured. As for the rumor against Kansai, the Imperial Court seems to have made no response, it seems that it is just a rumor. The imperial court has sent Chu suiliang to investigate his Highness's case. It seems that he is almost on Wei Ting's head. "

Li Ke frowned. He didn't seem to believe Zhao Chong's words, but he couldn't raise any doubts. So he said, "when can I be safe and go to Chang'an?"

"Soon." Zhao Chong said, "when the time comes, Zhao will naturally invite his highness down the mountain to meet the emperor!"Li Ke took a long, depressed breath and threw his book on the table. He got up, paced back and forth, and said, "what's the time?"

"I know what your highness is worried about." Zhao Chong said with a smile, "don't worry. During your absence, the king of Wei is unlikely to be canonized as the crown prince. Your highness, there is always a chance to compete for the east palace! "

Li Ke's eyebrows flicked slightly. Being blocked by Zhao Chong's words, he digs off the topic and says: "I'm worried that Qin mubai will do something stupid when he knows the news of my murder! So I want to show up as soon as possible to avoid such a disaster

Zhao Chong laughed and said: "it is said that Qin mubai has calmed down the western regions and is leading the army back to guanxi. By this time, he is already on the way. It is estimated that his Highness's news will reach his ears in a short time. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Kansai troops gathered in Lanzhou, and the imperial court did not know how to react - this is really interesting! "

"Are you crazy? Is that funny?" Li Ke drank angrily, "is the world in chaos good for you?"

"No With a slight smile, Zhao Chong said, "don't worry, your highness. The life and death of Zhao and the honor and disgrace of the second half of his life are all in your hands. Now, for the sake of interests, Zhao has to make such a big disrespectful move and slightly restrict his Highness's freedom of movement. It's all for your own good and for the sake of the overall situation. In the future, his highness will naturally understand Zhao's good intentions. In a word, your highness, you should believe that Zhao will never harm your highness, let alone my benefactor and confidant, Qin mubai. You two are the most important people in Zhao Chong's life. Has Zhao made this sentence clear enough? "

"What are you waiting for me to be here?" Li Ke's sword eyebrow tightly wrinkly asks a way.

"Wait..." Zhao Chong held a few pieces in his hand and began to play chess again. After he pressed one, he said, "the king of Wei, who has the advantage of wisdom, shows his flaws carelessly. His highness can turn the tide at the critical moment! ——Just like this game of chess

"Then I, Li Ke, am the chess piece in your hand?" Li Ke's face was slightly heavy.

Zhao Chong laughed and said, "things are like chess. You and I are all chess pieces. That's all
