In fact, this cannot be blamed on Qiu Shenji, because this time Qiu Shenji also went all out, choosing all the absolute elite masters in the army. No matter how powerful the Hundred Cavalry soldiers were, they would never be spared. But what is unexpected is that just before
Just after the battle started, some of the assassins sent by Qiu Shenji suddenly rebelled and raised a butcher's knife against their companions. The assassins were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, so they had to flee one after another.
It was not until later that Qiu Shenji made a detailed investigation and found out that those traitorous assassins had fought under Li Xian before, and that they were actually spies sent by Li Xian!
Of course, Qiu Shenji now has no idea what happened, and he doesn't even know who betrayed him, because in addition to the traitors, the assassins who did not come back were also killed, and those who were killed were also
They all have their faces covered, so they are not sure who the betrayers are. Of course, they don’t know who they are and why they betrayed them.
In fact, what made Qiu Shenji most depressed was that he couldn't explain to Empress Wu that he had not done things well, and without Empress Wu's instructions, he really couldn't do many things.
Empress Wu naturally knew this, but she had nothing to do, because at present, she could not communicate with Qiu Shenji. In this case, she could only continue to be entangled with the soap armor, so she faced the craftsmen
He said: "How many of you will go and look at the soil there? When was this soil first turned over?"
One of the old men agreed, immediately picked up a handful of soil, looked at it carefully for a while under the torch, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, based on the villain's decades of experience, it is inferred that these soils are the first time
The flipping time should not exceed an hour and a half at most!"
"What? It's true!"
"It seems there is no doubt about this matter."
"Yes, this matter should be very simple. His Royal Highness is definitely being wronged."
"Exactly, huh, does that thief know how to predict? Can he see what His Highness the Crown Prince will do in the future?"
…
Almost everyone is talking about this matter, but the volume of their voices is slightly different.
Of course, there are exceptions to this. Empress Wu and the few confidants around her all had slightly changed expressions, because they knew that this time the plot against Li Xian would probably come to nothing.
However, they were naturally unwilling to fail. At this moment, Wu Houfeng stared at the craftsman and said to the craftsman: "Are you sure that what you said is true?"
"Reporting to the Queen of Heaven, I have been studying soil quality for more than 30 years, and I can absolutely confirm this matter. If there is even the slightest mistake, I am willing to bear all the consequences!"
During the conversation between the old man and Empress Wu, the other craftsmen also studied the quality of the soil in detail, and then said together: "We also think so. The first time this soil was turned was indeed no more than an hour and a half.
"
In addition, there was also a middle-aged scribe who said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, I just went to the cellar and saw that the cellar was very humid and not conducive to burying soap armor at all. In this environment, it only takes three
God, these soap nails will be destroyed."
"Oh? In other words, the excavation of this cellar was very hasty and not meticulous at all? Even the soap armor couldn't be maintained for three days?" Wang Bo on the side heard the middle-aged scribe's words and said to him
Gaozong saluted, and then said: "Haha, I don't know what kind of fool can dig a cellar like this. The prince is also a soldier and has dug many tunnels. If he is really deliberately rebellious, how can he dig it?
Such a poor cellar to preserve soap armor? This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country! Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince has sharp eyesight and can discover the flaw in time, otherwise, it will definitely lead to a shocking injustice. So Wei Chen believes that it is already very serious at this time
It is clear that a young person must have deliberately framed His Highness the Crown Prince. I would like to ask Your Majesty and the Empress to investigate the matter thoroughly for His Highness the Crown Prince and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. No matter who it is, he must be brought to justice!"
At the same time, Li Xian took out a pair of soap armor, looked at it for a long time, and then said loudly: "Father and Queen, this soap armor is not right. I can see clearly that this soap armor is from the Ministry of War."
The newly made soap armor in front of me still has the fire paint seal of the Ministry of War on it. As far as Erchen knows, this batch of soap armor is still in the Ordnance Supervision and has not been issued at all. Erchen is surprised, what exactly is this soap armor?
How did you get to your minister's palace?"
"What?" Gaozong was shocked when he heard this. He personally took the soap armor from Li Xian's hand, groped for it carefully, and looked carefully under the torch. He saw that this batch of soap armor was newly made, and it also had
The Ministry of War's fire seals are obviously produced by the official government, and all official armors have clear origins. How could these things come to the East Palace silently? There are too many doubts here.
Immediately afterwards, in order to ensure that these were officially produced soap armors, Emperor Gaozong took the rest of the soap armors and examined them carefully. He found that all the soap armors were the same. His face suddenly darkened and he faced Yuan Gongyu.
Said: "Doctor Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"
Yuan Gongyu had no idea that Li Xian could still find a chance of survival in such a situation, and took the opportunity to make a complete comeback, overturning all the evidence that was not conducive to him. Now that Gaozong asked him, he could only say bitterly: "
Perhaps the prince has been wronged in this matter, and the minister will immediately order an investigation into the whistleblower..."
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Xue Yuanchao suddenly interrupted Yuan Gongyu, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven, in fact, there is another possibility in this matter, that is, His Highness the Crown Prince will start an uprising within three days.
, under such circumstances, it makes sense to store soap armor in a temporarily excavated cellar that can only be stored for three days at most. As for why this cellar was excavated only after reporting, there is actually another reason.
The other possibility is that His Highness the Crown Prince temporarily got the news that he was reported, so he hurriedly moved the place where the soap armor was stored and temporarily dug a cellar, so that he could excuse himself and deceive His Majesty and the Empress."
"Yes, it is not impossible. I would also like to ask Your Majesty and the Empress to order us to verify this matter." Yuan Gongyu suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said to Gaozong: "Isn't there another thing in Wei Chen's secret letter?
Is it something? We can interrogate these officials who reported the prince's rebellion. I believe this will prove whether the prince has been wronged."
"Okay, in that case, I will give an order to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Gaozong gritted his teeth and said loudly: "If the prince is wronged, all those who framed the prince will be severely punished, regardless of anyone!" (
