Chapter 4096 Suspicion
The East Palace is adjacent to the Taiji Palace, and there is a passage that leads directly to the Wude Palace, which is convenient and fast. However, Li Chengqian would never dare to take this road at this time. Even if His Majesty Li Er is fainting and seriously ill, he cannot be so expedient and do so at every turn. To bear the crime of "rebellion".
They could only take Fang Jun and the officials of the East Palace out of the main entrance and rush along the long street to the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace...
Li Chongzhen went outside the city to try to notify the Sixth Commander of the East Palace stationed at the Kunming Pool. Li Chengqian took Fang Jun, Yu Zhining, Lu Deming and others to the Chengtian Gate. Only then did he realize that the square in front of the gate was already crowded with cars, horses, and people. .
Groups of forbidden troops and elite "Hundred Cavalry Division" surrounded Chengtianmen, with swords unsheathed, arrows unstrung, helmets fluttering, armor filled with murderous intent.
Seeing the arrival of the prince and his entourage, the crowd gathered in front of Chengtian Gate dispersed to make way for a passage and watched the prince arrive at Chengtian Gate.
Li Junxian stepped forward quickly: "I will see you at the end of your visit, Your Highness."
Li Chengqian looked anxious and asked anxiously, regardless of the ceremony, "How is your father doing?"
Li Junxian said: "The general doesn't know, so I would like to invite His Highness to come to the palace to visit personally."
Li Chengqian said no more, quickly entered the palace gate and went straight to Wude Hall, followed closely by Yu Zhining and Lu Deming.
Fang Junze grabbed Li Junxian, looked back at the crowd outside Chengtian Gate, and frowned: "What's going on with these civil and military officials?"
Whether a country's monarch is healthy or not affects the future and destiny of countless people in the court, and more importantly, the stability of the country and the country. Therefore, unless the situation is clear or there is nothing to hide, the truth will be revealed to the outside world. As at the moment, His Majesty Li Er's life and death are uncertain and the situation is unknown, he must not reveal anything to the outside world.
His Majesty Li Er had fainted once before, and the news was leaked early, which made everyone in the government and the public aware and panicked. Now it is like this. Is it possible that the huge Tai Chi Palace is really leaking?
Li Junxian sighed helplessly, looked around, and then whispered: "After Your Majesty fainted, the general will immediately enter the palace and seal all the palace gates, strictly prohibit the entry and exit of the palace people, report the news to the king of Hejian County as soon as possible, and then think We had to wait for the imperial doctor to make a diagnosis before making a decision. Before the clinker imperial doctor completed the diagnosis, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had already arrived at Chengtian Gate together with the Prince of Hejian... Later, many court officials swarmed in. "< br>
"Hundred Qisi" is responsible for responsibilities similar to "national security" and "imperial security". It is powerful and powerful. If you really want to trace the source and dig out how the news was leaked, it is not difficult. There are so many People come in droves, just ask one by one and the answer will be revealed quickly.
But so what if we find out?
The news could be transmitted so quickly within the heavily guarded palace, allowing King Jin to arrive at the Tai Chi Palace as soon as possible. How could ordinary people do so at will?
This will inevitably involve a battle for storage space.
Therefore, before obtaining His Majesty's authorization, Li Junxian did not dare to investigate the matter rashly even if he had the courage to do so...
Fang Jun thought for a while, then approached and asked in a low voice: "In your opinion, if His Majesty suddenly fainted this time, is it the same as the last time?"
Li Junxian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty summoned Monk Fan. After the Monk Fan left, about a stick of incense later, a chamberlain suddenly shouted that Your Majesty had fainted. The chamberlain had been controlled, and the general did not dare to interrogate him without permission, so The situation during this period is unknown.”
At this moment, the two of them had arrived at Chengtian Gate, and Li Chengqian and his entourage were gradually disappearing. Fang Jun stopped and finally asked: "Where is that monk?"
Li Junxian looked into Fang Jun's eyes and said softly: "That monk... still committed suicide by taking poison."
Sure enough...
Fang Jun sighed.
Historically, the death of His Majesty Li Er has been surrounded by countless doubts and speculations. Among them, there is a saying that "he died suddenly after taking an overdose of mercury pills", which has been recognized by many mainstream history books. But no one thinks that this is just an accident caused by His Majesty Li Er's attempt to live forever. Most believe that there must be a hidden conspiracy behind it.
It's just that I don't know what the reason is, and it has been left unsolved. No one has thoroughly investigated, so naturally there is no conclusion.
Now that the monk has taken poison since he left His Majesty's palace, His Majesty is even more in a coma and does not know whether he is alive or dead. This shows that there must be a culprit...
After calming down, Fang Jun warned: "Gather all the people together to guard the Tai Chi Palace, and at the same time keep an eye on the Xuanwu Gate to guard against any accidents."
Li Junxian felt awe-struck in his heart, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Erlang, even if there are changes in the Xuanwu Sect, the general can still protect His Highness and leave Taiji Palace safely."
Xuanwu Gate is the gateway to Taiji Palace. If someone in the city attempts to kill the prince, he can still rely on Taiji Palace to resist for a while until he is rescued. However, Xuanwu Gate allows the army to directly enter the palace. Once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the entire Taiji Palace will be occupied in an instant. Then, relying on Taiji Palace, they captured the entire city of Chang'an.
Therefore, once the Xuanwu Gate falls, the prince will die without a burial place...
The Xuanwu Gate had been attacked many times before, and the "Yuan Cong Forbidden Army" guarding the gate had suffered serious losses, and new soldiers were constantly being added. The loyalty and stance of these generals were uncertain, and there were many hidden dangers. Moreover, the Xuanwumen garrison will change hands from Zhang Shigui to Li Daozong. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents if something happens to His Majesty?
Li Daozong was indeed close to the East Palace, but his loyalty to His Majesty Li Er was unquestionable. Perhaps he had no intention of murdering the Crown Prince, but what if His Majesty had already made an explanation, or even left an edict... How could Li Daozong violate it? Disobey the Holy Order and seek refuge in the East Palace?
This is very likely to happen.
How can a hero like His Majesty Li Er have no backup plan even when the oil is exhausted?
In fact, the biggest suspicion why His Majesty Li Er suddenly fainted was that someone had done something secretly, and the suspect was most likely the prince or the King of Jin.
If everything is controlled by King Jin, thunderous means will inevitably follow...
Everyone thinks that the King of Jin is "benevolent, filial, forgiving" and "weak-willed", and that he is actually a kind man, but Fang Jun is well aware of the power of his methods...
……
There are guards everywhere in the Taiji Palace, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The defense is extremely tight. The palace servants and chamberlains were all placed under house arrest in their respective residences, and were strictly prohibited from going out, let alone moving around.
In fact, how could anyone dare to walk around at will at this time? His Majesty fainted twice, and even the slightest accident would cause the sky to collapse. They, the palace people, would be in danger at any time. All of them were so frightened that they fell into silence. They prayed to God and Buddha to bless His Majesty's auspicious person and heaven...
Outside the Wude Hall, the defense is ten times tighter and water cannot enter.
King Jiang, Li Yun and other young princes who had not yet opened their palaces were waiting under the rain corridor from a distance, with different expressions on their faces, some were sad, some were worried, some were disapproving...
Seeing Fang Jun following the prince, Jiang Wang Li Yun stepped forward and pulled Fang Jun's sleeves, opening his mouth to speak, but in the end no words came out, but the timidity and fear in his expression were clearly revealed.
His mother, the princess, was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and had secretly colluded with her during the Guanlong Rebellion. After the failure, although His Majesty Li Er did not pursue a thorough investigation, as the Jiangnan and Shandong clans entered the court in large numbers, the Guanzhong clan suffered heavy losses. The status is naturally in jeopardy.
In the palace, concubines relied on their appearance, talent, and mood to please the emperor, and their status was high. However, the power of the natal family was also another important basis for the status of the concubines.
Before the prince established a palace, his status and interests depended more on the popularity of his mother and concubine.
Therefore, given the current embarrassing situation of Jiang Wang Li Yun, if something unspeakable happens and causes a major change in the government, he will immediately fall into many crises.
The palace is actually the most dangerous place in the world. There is no sense at all here. He never knows when a huge black pot will be thrown on his head and crush him to pieces...
He had always been close to Fang Jun. Although Fang Jun did not like him taking the younger sister of the Fang family as his concubine, they were closer to each other than the other princes. Now he wanted to seek protection from Fang Jun, but because of the There were too many people around me, so I could only endure it and didn't dare to say anything.
Fang Jun broke free from Li Yun's pull, patted the back of his hand with his backhand, and whispered: "Your Majesty's current condition is not yet known, so there is no need for His Majesty to be like this... Your Majesty is the hero of the world, and with the blessing of God, he can turn disaster into good. Your Highness only needs to pray for His Majesty in your heart, and you will be able to inspire the gods.”
At this time, you should wait here honestly. Don't act too sad, and don't look indifferent. "Moderate" is the way to protect yourself, and you must not become the target of public criticism.
Even the current intimate behavior may become a source of jealousy and jealousy for others...
Li Yun understood Fang Jun's warning and quickly took a step back, bowing and saluting: "The Duke of Yue has a very good relationship with Divine Doctor Sun. Do you know the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Sun? Can you please invite him to come to diagnose and treat your father?"
The other princes immediately woke up and gathered around him.
"Divine Doctor Sun can resurrect the dead with flesh and bones. If he can be invited, he will definitely be able to cure my father."
"It's just that Divine Doctor Sun is now searching all over China to collect medicinal materials. Does the Duke of Yue know where he lives?"
"If the Duke of Yue can invite Dr. Sun to save my father, it will be a great achievement!"
……
Except for the princes who have the opportunity to compete for the throne, who would want His Majesty Li Er to die in heaven? Once the imperial power changes, it means that all the previous power structures will be completely reshaped. They, who were originally the most noble people in the world, will inevitably become the most feared objects of the new emperor. They will no longer be able to act as willfully and enjoy themselves as they did in the past, and they will not be able to do anything carelessly. It will be irreversible.
Therefore, all the princes, big and small, are extremely sincere at this moment in hoping that His Majesty Li Er can live a long life and turn the crisis around.
Filial piety can be seen in the sun and the moon...
Fang Jun was speechless and could only say perfunctorily: "Your Majesty fainted last time. The palace has sent people to look for Dr. Sun. I believe there will be good news soon. Your Highnesses, please be patient. I have to go to visit your Majesty. Can't stay, forgive me."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
It happened that a group of people came in a hurry from a distance, and the leader was Li Tai, King of Wei. Fang Jun quickly stood by the roadside, led Li Tai in, and came forward to greet him.
Li Tai stopped and stared at Fang Jun, who was bowing rudely, with burning eyes. He asked one by one: "Is this matter done by Dong Gong?"
The servants and officials behind him were startled when they heard this. They all stopped and took a few steps back, not daring to come near.
In his words, there was no concealment of the suspicion that His Majesty's fainting was caused by the East Palace. This is simply crazy... (End of Chapter)
