When he heard the news of King Jin’s disappearance, Changsun Wuji and others were shocked.
If it is said that the manpower brought by the king of Wu’s back to Beijing was not many people ambushed, it is understandable; then, the king of Jin, who went north to worship the ancestors on behalf of the emperor, was accompanied by two hundred elite dragons and guards. Three hundred Kingoguard honor guards, and one hundred personal guards!
A total of six hundred people went missing in a place like Taiyuan in the northern capital, which is shocking!
"General Li, you went to Taiyuan, where did you look for King Jin?" Li Jing asked, calmly.
"Naturally it is the official government office, and places like Taimiao and Huangling!" Li Junxian replied.
Li Jing asked again: "The officials of the prefectural governor and the people in the Imperial Tombs of Taimiao said that King Jin has already left?"
"Yes."
"There are no traces of Jin Wang's foothold in the post along the way?"
"Yes."
Li Jingmeiyu took a brief look and said: "Then there is only one possibility-King Jin is still in Taiyuan, the northern capital, at least in Bingzhou!"
Li Junxian, Changsun Wuji and others were both surprised, "How is this possible?"
Li Jing stroked the long beard and said: "Five or six hundred people, as long as they leave the capital and go to the official road, how can they leave traces. Is it possible that they can disappear out of thin air? At that time, General Li was eager to find King Jin. If I didn’t find it in Taiyuan, I thought King Jin was on his way home and missed it on the road, so he was eager to chase it back. It can be seen that at that time, it is very likely that I missed an extremely important place and did not look for it!
"Where?"
"Bingzhou Military Mansion!" Li Jing's eyes shone brightly and said, "There is no one except the army that can make five or six hundred people disappear without a trace at the same time! And I guess that either King Jin is being merged. The army was taken into captivity; either, King Jin himself deliberately hid there and kept the news tightly sealed. Otherwise, how is it possible that even Taiyuan’s state officials did not know the exact news of King Jin?"
At this time, Fang Xuanling was slightly surprised, and said: "The army of the Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion is the northern barrier of my Datang. The commander of the Metropolitan Governor is the British Public Liji, but he led the army to Mobei to settle the Xue Yantuo Rebellion. He has not returned yet. It is Li Ji's beloved general who stayed behind in Bingzhou, and General Zuo Wuwei Wei waits for the price-the son of Wei Ting!"
As soon as this statement was made, everyone broke into a cold sweat! !
"Wei Ting again!"
"Be safe and not irritable!" Li Jing raised his hand, frowned and meditated for a moment, and said, "As far as I know, although Wei Daoqi is very famous, he is modest and prudent. He has always been loyal and righteous. When I conquered Tuyuhun in the early years, he served as a post-military officer in our army, so I was quite impressed with him. The old man is not talented. With my ability to know people, Wei Daiqi should not be able to do it. That's the opposite! Moreover, if he is really rioting and hurting King Jin, it would be too stupid. Because the ruling and the public know that King Jin went to the northern capital to worship the ancestors, and there is royal imperial power with him. He dare to do anything against the King Jin All of his actions are to clarify the rebellion. Isn’t that self-defeating? Hugh said that he was just a small Bingzhou Metropolitan Government who stayed behind, with only 30,000 to 50,000 horses in his hands. Even the 200,000 main force under Li Ji's army belonged to him. , He didn't dare to make such a mistake!"
"Wei Gong's words are reasonable!" Everyone agreed. Fang Xuanling said: "In this way, it is more likely that King Jin hid in the Bingzhou Military Mansion? That is to say, instead of detaining King Jin, Wei Daiqi hid him secretly for protection. Don't let him return to Beijing?"
"It's very likely." Li Jing twisted his eyebrows, "In other words, Wei waits for the price-I must know something!"
At this time, Changsun Wuji's face was pale, and he snorted: "I'll wait and guess here, it's useless! Or, let me and Chu Suiliang, lead Baiqi to take Wei Ting first Let's talk about it next! Or, call the King Wei to ask a question!"
Everyone fell silent for a while, secretly thinking that Wei Ting is the confidant of King Wei. If Wei Ting really had any changes, it would be impossible for Wei Wang to say that he didn't know it. In this way, even if Wang Wei is not behind the scenes or participates in these counterattacks, he must bear the crime of concealment!
Seeing that everyone was silent, the grandson Wuji asked Li Jing simply, "Duke Wei, what do you think?"
"The old man feels that we should not act rashly." Li Jing said, "As soon as we have no evidence, if we take people or interrogate King Wei, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble and cause chaos and panic to the ruling and the opposition. And, now The life and death of King Wu and King Jin are uncertain, if these two princes really fall into their hands, I am waiting in Chang'an but any changes may endanger the lives of the two princes, that would be a big deal! "
"Hateful!" Changsun Wuji's teeth creaked, "Foreign bandits are in trouble, so let's stop. I can't imagine that there will be thieves in my Tang Dynasty today, there will be thieves in trouble! No matter who it is, unforgivable!" /
"Situ calmed down his anger." Li Jing took out the Tiger Talisman token and gave Li Junxian a look, and said, "The only solution is to trouble General Li to make another trip to Taiyuan. You don't need to bring more people to Bingzhou. The military government investigates. Be sure to find out the news of King Jin and ensure his personal safety. What you brought with you is the royal imperial power, I guess no one in the state dare to do anything wrong with you! If anyone dares to make mistakes-Your Majesty Tiger Talisman Here! Give you the right to slash first and then play with your subordinates, you can do it, capture the thieves and the king!"
"Nuo! The final general will leave immediately!" Li Junxian took the military order and hurried away again sweating profusely.
"Chang'an is still loose and tight inside." Li Jing said, "Now we don't want to let out any wind, business as usual. Let the culprits think that we are still unaware of it. The old man will go to the Three Hundred and Sixty Passes today. The imperial army and all imperial imperial princes are tightly guarded against the imperial capital and imperial city to ensure that Chang'an is as solid as gold, and your majesty is foolproof!"
"According to what Wei Gong said." Changsun Wuji still respected Li Jing and said to him, "Then I and Fang Xuanling will still sit in the Hongwenguan and preside over the daily meeting and take care of the court affairs. Chu Suiliang, keep your eyes on Wei Ting secretly, and step up to track down the whereabouts of King Wu!"
"Yes!" Chu Suiliang promised.
Li Jing added, "Saving others is the best!"
"Then I will act separately!"
In the evening of the same day, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were in the Hongwen Hall, replacing the emperor's Jinji with Zhu Ping, the prime minister, to approve the memorials submitted from all over the country.
He kept thinking about the affairs of several princes in his heart, but Changsun Wuji couldn't settle down. He was a little impetuous, and even holding the memorial in his hand, he couldn't see it. Seeing her elder Sun Wuji's distressed and angry look, Fang Xuanling persuaded him a few words to relax him but it didn't work, so she couldn't say much.
There was a thief in the court who caused trouble to the prince. For Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others, it was a great trouble, but for Changsun Wuji, it was even more of a family ugly, and also hidden the danger of killing!
Others don't know, his eldest grandson Wuji still doesn't know what the Emperor always hates most?
The shadow of Xuanwumen has always been in the heart of Emperor Li Shimin. He has been the emperor for so many years, and what he has been most worried about is his own son. The good ones who do not learn and the bad ones also follow his example and come to a brother to kill each other!
If the case between King Wu and King Jin is really related to King Wei... Then, what Li Shimin fears and hates the most has happened after all!
What are the consequences?
Can't imagine!
With a "pop", Changsun Wuji threw the memorial in his hand and started, "I can't help it anymore!-come, prepare the car!"
Fang Xuanling was taken aback and looked at Changsun Wuji in amazement, "Where does Situ want to go?"
"I'm going to the Palace of the Wei Dynasty, ask a clear question!"
"No!"
"Why not?" Changsun Wuji snorted, and said angrily, "Mother Uncle, today I am not Prime Minister Situ, but his uncle, okay?"
"This..." Fang Xuanling frowned suddenly, got up and walked to Changsun Wuji's side, and whispered softly, "What if you startled the snake and hurt the lives of King Wu and King Jin?"
"I don't expect him to dare!" Changsun Wuji flicked his robe, "Needless to say, I must go to the fourth child to ask clearly! Hugh said that he is your majesty's beloved son and my nephew, even if It is the current prince or my own son. As long as he is confused at this crucial point, my eldest grandson Wuji will kill him with justice and forgive him!"
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was impossible to stop Changsun Wuji, so she sighed lightly: "Since Situ insists on going, Fang can't stop it. It's just... this day's big disaster, Nobody will admit it unless we have very strong evidence to prove it."
As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell silent, a person staggered in from the entrance of Hongwen Hall, and even the clerks didn't dare to stop him. As soon as the man entered the gate, he ran towards the pavilion of the grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and shouted, "Uncle, help me!"
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were taken aback together. The officials in the other offices of Hongwen Hall also ran out in shock. Everyone saw that it was not King Wei!
Changsun Wuji hurriedly scolded, "No onlookers, all quit Hongwen Hall!"
"Yes..." All the officials retreated out of their promise and closed the door. Only Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Wang Li Tai are left in the room. Li Tai was sweating, his face turned pale, and his whole body was trembling. After a plop, he knelt down to grandson Wuji: "Li Tai is guilty, come to confess, uncle save me!"
"What's your crime?" Longsun asked Wuji.
"I...I was negligent for a while and forgot to inform the court about a great event. It led to the assassination of King Wu!" Li Tai knelt to the ground, said in fear.
"What's the big deal?" Changsun Wuji asked with a sullen face.
Li Tai told Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling that he invited Wei Ting and others to discuss with him in the palace that day, if King Wu was made prince after returning to Beijing, where would we people go? At that time, Wei Ting suggested to King Wei that he should kill King Wu half way to avoid future troubles.
Speaking of this, Li Tai screamed, "At that time, I was furious and resolutely refused, and in front of everyone, I was angrily scolded Wei Ting and expelled him from the palace. I didn't expect...Wei Ting actually did it himself. Advocate, send a killer half way to intercept and kill King Wu!"
Unexpectedly by Li Tai, when Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling heard this "great news", they did not appear to be surprised. Instead, they looked at each other and sneered.
Li Tai felt a little panicked now: Strange, why are they not surprised at all? Has it been known for a long time?
"His Royal Highness, you just said-'King Wu was intercepted'?" Fang Xuanling frowned and said, "Why don't you say it was a kidnapping or an assassination, but an interception? 'What? Do you know that King Wu has been assassinated?"
"Ah? This...this!" Li Tai took a breath: What a cunning Fang Xuanling!
"Say!" Longsun Wuji roared!
"Yes, yes!" Li Tai was already sweating and knelt on the ground, trembling all over, said verbally, "My people just reported back to me, saying that the killer sent by Wei Ting has...had been killed. King Wu!"
"What?!" Changsun Wuji was furious in shock, "How did you know and who told you?"
The sweat on Li Tai's face slipped to the ground, and he didn't dare to lift his head and said, "There is a confidant in Wei Ting's mansion. He was once an editor in my literature museum. Deep friendship, so I leaked the news privately..."
"Spoken words, full of nonsense!" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but finally broke out, raising his foot to kick Li Tai!
Fang Xuanling was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged Changsun Wuji, and said anxiously in his ear, "Situ quenches his anger! King Wei is the lord, I am a minister!"
"He is clearly at a critical moment, betraying his accomplices in order to protect himself!" Changsun Wuji angrily said, "Otherwise, how could he wait until Wei Ting has succeeded and Wu Wang has been killed before returning to return! In order to clarify the relationship, all the guilt will be put on Wei Ting's head!"
"Uncle, I was wronged!" Li Tai burst into tears, his head banged on the ground, and cried, "Wei Ting is acting privately on his own, and I don't know it beforehand. And, He just said something casually at the time. I didn't care about it. I didn't expect him to be so dark-hearted and really start! Then, I just learned the news from the secret report of the clerical man in his house! Tai, was already scared to death. , I hurried to find my uncle and report the case!"
"Then why don't you report in the morning?" Changsun Wuji scolded angrily.
"Everyone knows that Wei Ting has an old hatred with King Wu. He drank a lot of wine at the banquet that day. I thought he was just a moment of drunken anger and didn't take it to heart. And... "Li Tai hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think he is my elder and an important court minister, can he betray him because of one sentence, and let him bring harm to the family? Such unrighteous deeds, Tai I can't bear it!"
"I forgot, you took Wei Ting's daughter as a concubine!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "To this day, you are still putting gold on your face and leaving all the blame on you. Lao Zhangren? Ok, okay, I will take Wei Ting first and let him confront you-come!"
Li Tai, lying on the ground, let out a sigh of relief! Secretly said in my heart: confrontation, confrontation is good! No confrontation, how can I show that Li Tai is innocent? The assassination of King Wu was indeed done by Wei Ting alone, and it has nothing to do with me! ...Fortunately, I asked Zhao Chong to keep an eye on Wei Ting secretly and learned that King Wu had been killed, otherwise people all over the world would think that I killed King Wu and I would be killed by him!
"This is called first to strike first! Wei Ting, Wei Ting, don't blame me! People don't kill themselves, you die, it is better to die than me!"
