Chapter 108 Who is this?
Wang Yi was shocked. The ominous premonition he had in his heart was really fulfilled. What happened was much worse than what he was worried about.
However, Wang Yi calmed down, walked up to Wang Fu's side, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Fu, where did you find out the news?"
With such a major news, no news spread in Chang'an City. How did Wang Fu know about it? Could it be the new thread?
"The second young master, our brother learned from the palace, and the news has been spread to the palace
"Then... Your Majesty already knows the news?"
"Yes, the second son, the news has been reported to Your Majesty Wang Fu, and he told Wang Yi carefully the news he had found.
Judging from the information found, Li Chengqian, who was supposed to be recalled to Beijing, traveled only more than 500 miles after leaving the exile, and was assassinated by bandits. Li Tai had just come out of the fiefdom, but after traveling a hundred miles, he encountered bandits. The two of them had encountered unexpected events one after another. It would definitely not be an accident. Someone must have deliberately murdered them. Wang Yi had almost no need to think about it and thought of someone.
But this seems to be very inappropriate. This person has no reason to be so ruthless. If you dare to do this, aren’t you afraid that you will be in trouble?
Wang Yi thought for a moment and calmly ordered, "Brother Fu, please immediately instruct your brothers to be careful, pay attention to all suspicious people close to the mansion, and try your best to find out the news in the palace and the East Palace. If there is any news, you must report to me as soon as possible.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away," Wang Fu gave a gift and retreated.
Wang Yi frowned and stood in front of the open window and looked at the spring flowers outside. Someone would assassinate Li Chengqian and Li Tai. This was too bold. He could sense how much the news would hit Li Shimin and Empress Changsun 1
The two legitimate sons born to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were recalled to Jing Xiaozhu, but one died and the other was seriously injured. Such a sad scene, for Li Shimin, who was repentant, it was really like stabbing him in the heart, which was very fatal. At this moment, Wang Yi really wanted to see Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to give them some comfort.
But he knew that it was not the time for him to move. Only when the official news came could he enter the palace with Princess Changle to visit and comfort Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and to inquire about the news privately, and never let anyone know.
In recent years, Wang Fu has been actively operating with Wang Yi's tacit consent, and through very secret and tortuous means, he has bribed some key figures in the palace. If these people find out very important news, they can be reported to Wang Yi as soon as possible.
In order to survive well in this era, there is no way. If you find out important news earlier, you can come up with countermeasures and make arrangements as soon as possible. What's more, it has been the 20th year of Zhenguan, and it is not far from the time when Li Shimin passed away in history.
Before and after Li Shimin's death, many heavyweight ministers passed away one after another. It can be said that after 20 years of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's courts would occasionally have earthquakes of different intensity. In this special period, Wang Yi, who was foresighted by history, had to use some means to inquire about the news first, make arrangements and arrangements, to avoid being implicated by himself and his family, and to fight for more for the people around him.
This incident can be said to be the first thing that successfully spread after bribing those people. Wang Yi also hopes to find out more information, especially in the East Palace where Li Zhi lives.
Wang Yi thought about it alone for a while and had some idea. While sad for the brothers of these two Princess Changle, he had thoughts that had been erased for many years and had been eroded again. Perhaps this was an opportunity created by others for him and for Li Ke, and he had to work hard to grasp it.
After getting an idea, Wang Yi calmed down a lot and walked out of the study room.
Murong Lian, who was waiting outside the house and was responsible for taking care of Wang Yi's daily life today, greeted him and asked in a low voice: "Husband, are you going out?"
Wang Yi pinched Murong Xue's pretty face and smiled, "If you don't go out now, you may have to go out later. 1 You can accompany me for a walk.
"Well, Murong Lian nodded shyly, and didn't ask anything else. She followed Wang Yi slowly and walked into the yard.
Wang Yi has a large number of wives and concubines. Murong Lian, who was originally a maid of Murong Xue, was later taken into his concubine by Wang Yi. It is rare to have a chance to get along with Wang Yi alone. Today, Wang Yi asked her to accompany her to the yard to walk around. She couldn't help but feel joy. I really hope that no one would come to disturb her, so that she and Wang Yi could stay alone in the yard for a while, look at the blooming flowers, and say some private words.
But Murong Lian was still disappointed. When she was with Wang Yi for a while and begging Wang Yi to write a poem as a gift to her, someone came to report it. Murong Lian had to leave disappointedly.
It was the guard of the mansion who brought a man to see Wang Yi. When he saw the person coming, Wang Yi had already guessed what it was for.
The person who came was a servant from Changsun’s mansion, and Wang Yi was very familiar with it.
"Son-in-law, the master asked you to go to the mansion and said there was something very important to discuss," the person came to greet him, "Let you go there immediately..."
Changsun Wuji sent someone to spread the word. Wang Yi was not surprised at all and immediately ordered Wang Zhou to take a few people to go with him to Changsun’s mansion.
The people from Changsun’s mansion directly took Wang Yi to Changsun Wuji’s study.
Changsun Wuji, with a pale face, was paced back and forth in the study. When he saw Wang Yi coming in, he received the gift, he just nodded slightly and signaled, but stopped his maid and asked Wang Yi to approach him.
"Son-in-law, do you know that something big happened and Changsun Wuji's tone of speaking was surprisingly calm.
Wang Yi pretended to be ignorant and asked, "My father-in-law, what happened?"
Changsun Wuji stared at Wang Yi's face and said word by word: "On the way back to Beijing, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were assassinated by an unknown person, one died and one was injured. Your Majesty was furious. I just returned from the palace..."
"Ah? Wang Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at Changsun Wuji with disbelief. "Father-in-law, who is so bold and dares to take this evil move?"
Changsun Wuji lowered his voice again and said at a very slow speed: "According to a captured killer, it was the one sent by King Li Ke of Wu.
"What?" Wang Yi was really surprised. He could never have imagined that it was not Li Zhi who sent someone to assassinate him, but Li Ke. How could this be possible? There is no reason. Wang Yi didn't believe that he was beaten to death. Li Ke, who has been very low-key in recent years, would send someone to do such a thing. He shook his head very hard, "My father-in-law, the son-in-law doesn't believe that the King of Wu will do such a mentally retarded thing..."
Changsun Wuji frowned, staring at Wang Yi with his eyes that could see through everything. "I don't believe that the King of Wu would do such a stupid thing, and the King of Wu was not capable of doing such a thing..."
Wang Yi, who was surging in his heart, forced himself to calm down and asked Changsun Wuji in a low voice: "My father-in-law, then who did you think it would be the one who was going to do it? Why did he blame the King of Wu?"
"Who do you think will be the one who will do it?" Changsun Wuji asked back.
Wang Yi shook his head, "Young son-in-law dare not say it
Changsun Wuji sighed long, "You and I know that there are only one person who has reasons to do this and has the ability to do this. Changsun Wuji used his finger to write the word "dong" on the desk.
"My father-in-law, do you think he is too... son?"
Changsun Wuji did not nod or shook his head, but walked over and turned his back to Wang Yi and sighed again, "Maybe it was because my attitude was unclear over the years that made the prince worried, afraid that his position would be unstable..."
Wang Yi stood behind Changsun Wuji, not knowing what to say.
Changsun Wuji turned around and looked directly at Wang Yi, "I will tell you everything I know today. I hope you are prepared: According to the captured killer, King Li Ke sent them to assassinate Li Chengqian and Li Tai and made them claim to be the people sent by the prince, and blame the prince for taking the opportunity to let Your Majesty depose the prince. In this way, the King of Wu has a chance to be made the prince. 1 Do you understand the seriousness of the matter now? Your sister is the Princess of Wu. If the King of Wu cannot wash away the murderer's suspicion, you will not be able to escape the blame.
After knowing the matter, Wang Yi thought a lot, but he never thought about this situation. After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, he felt a little unaware of what measures he should take. He asked anxiously: "My father-in-law, does Your Majesty believe this is the King of Wu?"
Changsun Wuji had no expression at all, "How could Your Majesty easily believe it? He has ordered me to lead people to investigate this matter strictly. You must find out the truth. But before finding out the truth, the King of Wu is the biggest suspect, and you have many subordinates who are also very suspicious. The King of Wu is not able to do this, but you have been in the army for so many years. "
"My father-in-law must know that even if the son-in-law holds a knife around his neck, he will not do such a ruthless thing.
Changsun Wuji signaled Wang Yi to sit next to him, frowned and said, "This matter will not be cleared in a moment. Before you find out the truth, it is best if you don't do anything and let all your subordinates stay in the mansion honestly. Can you tell me?"
"The son-in-law knows it
Changsun Wuji leaned on the chair of the Grand Master whom Wang Yi gave him, his eyes closed and he didn't speak for a long time.
Wang Yi didn't dare to say anything, and sat next to Changsun Wuji and pondered.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji said slowly in a slight tone: "Now the prince is cowardly and cannot be compared with the deposed prince in his work. However, he is similar in temperament. He is much worse than the King of Wu in various aspects. I have also told Your Majesty these things many times, and I must have known it by the Prince. I am the minister that Your Majesty trusts the most. Many times Your Majesty obeys my opinions very much. You are my son-in-law and the prince-consort. The King of Wu is your brother-in-law. It is very normal for the prince to be worried, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen..."
"So that's how Wang Yi suddenly realized. After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Wang Yi felt that he understood everything.
Changsun Wuji opened his eyes, stared at Wang Yi for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Okay, when things are coming, there is always a solution. With me here, I will definitely investigate the matter clearly. You don't have to worry too much. As long as you stay in the house peacefully and do the things you mentioned to Your Majesty well, don't do anything, do you understand?"
"Little son-in-law understands it
"Son-in-law, you go back first. 6. If I live, I will do it. 1 Your Majesty should call you into the palace to ask questions. You should think about how to answer yourself.
"Yes, my father-in-law, the son-in-law sued Wang Yi and gave him a gift and left Changsun Wuji's study.
Two days later, rumors started to arise in Chang'an City, saying that King Li Ke of Wu wanted to seek the crown prince. Taking advantage of Li Chengqian and Li Tai's return to Beijing, he sent someone to assassinate and blamed the crown prince...
