Chapter 484 Behind the Scene
His Majesty Li Er ordered Fang Xuanling to go to the East Palace to issue an edict and grant the death of the music boy of Taichang Temple. Although the prince did not dare to argue, he was very sad and lamented that he was killed by himself. He blamed himself endlessly. Because he had no relatives and no reason to live alone, the prince set up a memorial tablet in the East Palace to mourn in person.
This move made several of the prince's teachers quite dissatisfied, thinking that there was no need for the prince to be a music boy, thus offending the emperor. The prince insisted on this and did not listen to the advice. He had many quarrels with several emperor masters.
Yesterday at noon, Prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining angrily accused the prince of being perverse, foolish and rebellious, doting on his wife to the point of not distinguishing between good and evil, and having no king or father. The angry prince cursed loudly: "I wish I could kill you with a three-foot green sword!" He ordered Yu Zhining to be expelled from the East Palace.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhining and his friends were returning from drinking in a restaurant. On the way, they were intercepted and killed by unidentified men in black. Several servants were killed and injured on the spot. Yu Zhining escaped by hiding under the carriage.
As for Wei King Li Tai, he stayed at the Furong Garden in the south of the city last night. He got up early in the morning and went to the palace to pay his respects. Not far from Shenji Camp, he was intercepted and killed by unidentified people. After killing and injuring a large number of guards, he saw that the remaining guards were all trying to protect the Lord and could not kill Wei King Li Tai, so he fled in panic.
After hearing the report, His Majesty Li Er was furious!
He asked anxiously: "How is Qingque doing now?"
"Fortunately, all the guards loyally protected the Lord and fought to the death. His Highness, King Wei, is fine. He was just frightened." Li Junxian replied.
His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath, then glared at Fang Jun, and said angrily: "Do you still want to speak for that beast now?"
It goes without saying that the biggest suspect in these two incidents is Prince Li Chengqian...
First, he violated the commandments of the East Palace and paid homage to Le Tong and Lingzi in the palace. After being scolded by Yu Zhining, he became angry and killed someone to vent his anger. Then he probably realized that what he did would inevitably arouse the emperor's anger, and the already precarious position of the crown prince was in doubt, so he simply did not stop and sent people to assassinate the most direct contender for the throne, King Wei Li Tai, so that the emperor Even if you want to abolish the reserve, you may not be able to find a suitable candidate to take over...
The whole thing seems reasonable.
No matter who it is, they will immediately cast suspicious eyes on Prince Li Chengqian!
His biggest motive for committing the crime...
Fang Jun smiled bitterly. He had just said nice things for Li Chengqian, but on the other side, he was slapped in the face.
"Although this matter seems simple and straightforward, there are actually many hidden things. Your Majesty should think about it carefully and handle it carefully to avoid being used by people with evil intentions. In short, everything must rely on evidence."
Fang Jun didn't believe that Li Chengqian could be so stupid, but he could only fight for room for change for Li Chengqian.
"Evidence? Of course I will not wrong anyone, let alone my good son!"
His Majesty Li Er said these last few words through gritted teeth, the flesh on his cheeks twitching, and he was obviously very sad and angry.
The son who is about to inherit his family business goes to assassinate his favorite son. In order to fight for the imperial power, is it necessary for me to stage another scene of the feud between the Xuanwu brothers in the past?
It is precisely because of the Xuanwu Gate incident that His Majesty Li Er cannot tolerate this kind of thing!
Fang Jun was silent.
evidence?
If it is true that Li Chengqian did not do this, then the evidence will soon be found in the East Palace. How can we not do it more professionally when setting up a false accusation?
It seems that no matter whether Li Chengqian did this or not, Li Chengqian's position as the prince is probably not guaranteed...
Because he couldn't tell clearly.
His Majesty Li Er was very worried and ordered Li Junxian to quickly prepare the chariot for the trip. He wanted to go to the Prince of Wei's Mansion to visit Li Tai, but he heard Li Junxian say that Li Tai was on his way to Tai Chi Palace. Only then did he calm down and He sat down with a cold face.
Fang Jun felt that this was a family matter. No matter what the truth of the matter was, it had nothing to do with him. There was really no need to get involved and increase the danger.
He cupped his hands and saluted and said, "I remembered that there are still many trivial matters at home that need to be dealt with urgently, so I resigned."
His Majesty Li Er did not intend to let him go, and sneered: "Why do you want to stay out of the matter? You know how to protect yourself wisely, but you just vowed to protect the prince, and now that this happened in the blink of an eye, you have nothing to explain to me. ?”
Fang Jun said helplessly: "First of all, Wei Chen is not trying to protect the prince, he is just discussing the matter. Furthermore, what your Majesty said are all speculations, and what Wei Chen said is only speculation. There is no substantial evidence to prove the truth. So, , Weichen thinks there is no need to explain anything to His Majesty.”
He is quite dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er. You can handle your family's affairs yourself. Why do you have to drag me along? You don't think it's embarrassing, but I think it's troublesome...
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er seemed to be quite concerned about his words in support of Li Chengqian, and insisted on keeping him to listen to what one of the parties involved, King Wei Li Tai, had to say.
"Stay aside honestly, you are not allowed to leave until I let you go!"
Fang Jun was so angry that he rolled his eyes and was extremely speechless...
Okay, the world is big, who calls you Li Er the biggest?
I had to reluctantly sit on the show pier on the side, shut my mouth tightly, and said nothing. At the same time, I was secretly annoyed in my heart. The ancients knew that disaster comes from the mouth. How could I, a time traveler, make such a stupid mistake? He, Li Chengqian, is your son, Li Tai is your son, and the young lady, Li Zhi, is also your son. Your pot of meat is rotten in the family pot. Why are we, an outsider, doing such idle things?
I’m so bored...
He didn't speak, and His Majesty Li Er was even less interested in speaking. He sat there with a sad look on his face. Even though he was the supreme being in the world, he still couldn't handle this household matter.
Li Junxian hurriedly went to greet Li Tai. Li Tai was assassinated by the Qujiang Pool before. It had nothing to do with Li Junxian, the commander of the "Hundred Cavalry", but if this happens again on the way into the palace, Li Junxian could just die to apologize, which would be a serious dereliction of duty...
There was silence in the study room. The monarch and his ministers were each thinking about their own thoughts, and both looked worried.
After a while, Li Taicai came over with a big belly.
Li Tai had just recovered from a serious illness. His previously fat waist and abdomen had become thinner, and his double chin was almost gone. Now he was frightened again. His small face was pale and pale, his eyes were vacant and dull, and he was obviously in shock.
Fang Jun maliciously speculated that acting was mostly involved...
As soon as he saw His Majesty Li Er, Li Tai swooped over. His agile figure was like a fat civet cat. He held His Majesty Li Er's thigh and shouted: "Father, the child almost died." Huang Quan, I can no longer be at my knees with Cheng Huan..."
After saying this, he burst into tears.
His Majesty Li Er saw his favorite son being tortured like this, and his heart ached with distress. He leaned down and stroked Li Tai's head, and comforted him with gentle words: "My son, Qingque, it's okay." Okay, it’ll be fine... Don’t worry, my father will find the murderer and give you justice!”
Li Tai was speechless and cried so hard.
Fang Jun's eyes twitched and he glanced at His Majesty Li Er. This man seemed to be sure that the prince was responsible for this matter...
Otherwise, why would I say something like "I'll give you justice"? Normally, it would be cruel words such as executing the murderer in Ling Chi and annihilating the three clans, etc., to comfort people. Naturally, it will be as cruel as it sounds, and it will relieve your anger.
But since he was sure that the prince did this, he couldn't say those words out of thin air. Execution in Lingchi? I'm afraid His Majesty Li Er won't be able to be so ruthless. As for the annihilation of the three tribes... he can't annihilate himself as well.
Li Tai cried for a long time before stopping with sobs. He just sat at the feet of His Majesty Li Er, hugging His Majesty Li Er's thigh. His expression was infinitely aggrieved, infinitely attached, and filled with a kind of admiration that he had found his backbone. Affection.
Fang Jun curled his lips secretly and had to admit that Li Tai's acting skills had indeed reached their peak. If he had such a son, he would probably be spoiled by him...
For the children they love, every parent gives without any regrets and without expecting anything in return. If you want the moon in the sky, you will never pick the stars for him. You always want to keep all the best things in yourself for him.
As an emperor, His Majesty Li Er has a father-son nature that is no different from ordinary people.
He is the emperor, and his best thing is naturally this thousand-mile country and the supreme throne. He loves Li Tai far more than any other son, and he most wants to hand over this splendid country to Li Tai's hands, so he did not perform well with Li Chengqian. It is not surprising that he often had the idea of easy storage.
I was distracted when I suddenly heard His Majesty Li Er say: "Qingque, why don't you live in Fang Jun's manor for a while. If you stay at home, I'm afraid you will be depressed too, as Fang Jun is preparing for his wedding. You go over to relax and help him with his work.”
Fang Jun was shocked!
Today is May Day. Unfortunately, my brother’s work has no holidays all year round. I wanted to squeeze out a little more time, but it happened that an elder in my family passed away. I had no choice. The countryside is very particular about weddings and funerals. I will definitely have to help out for two days. I can only say sorry to everyone. . However, apart from this matter, I still have a lot of time these days. Please try to update as much as possible. I also hope that everyone will keep their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets for brothers to encourage them. Thank you. above.
