What? How could it be him? Li Zhen was stunned when she heard the name Wang Ji said.
If you dare to deceive me, what evidence do you have?"
"No." At this point, Wang Ji looked away. He spread his hands and said, "Mr. Hou never leaves any traces in his actions. I have followed him for many years and done a lot of things, but I have never caught anything."
This is a clue, I dare to swear to God, if this statement is false, my whole family will suffer a terrible death!"
Damn, it seems that this guy is not telling lies. Well, with the old monkey's ability, no one can see clearly that he really wants to go behind someone's back. But why does the old monkey do this? Could it be that our old man gave the order?
No? Li Zhen was extremely uneasy, but she couldn't figure out the article behind it for a while. After thinking for a while, she waved her hand and said: "Yan Shiba, take Wang Ji down and keep an eye on him. If you don't have the ability,
According to the king's handwriting, no one is allowed to communicate privately!" Li Zhen gave the order, and a group of "Rising Sun" masters came forward to tie up Wang Ji. No matter how much Wang Ji complained, they dragged him out without mentioning it.
"Sir, in your opinion, what Wang Ji said is the truth?" After Li Zhen was silent for a long time, she finally calmed down and looked sideways at Nalongdao, who was always hiding in the dark.
"There is a certain skill in observing people, and what this person says should be true." Naron replied without hesitation.
"Oh?" Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said with a wry smile: "It seems that there is something fishy about this matter. Hey, maybe the Holy Spirit also had a hand in it."
Hearing what Li Zhen said, it was Nalong's turn to be confused and asked suspiciously: "Why did the prince say this?"
Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, then explained: "Sir, you don't know. Hou Junji has been following the Holy Emperor since he was a child. He has always been my father's confidant and favorite general. This is fine. The change of Xuanwu Sect originated from this."
People's plans, well, Hou Junji was the one who controlled my father's secret team when he rebelled. Hou Junji was busy with all those bribery of ministers and secret assassinations. Although Hou Junji has gradually fallen out of favor over the years, he can
But we are getting closer and closer to the prince. How can I believe that there is no problem here? Hou Junji is a chess piece secretly laid out by my father."
The truth of the Xuanwumen Incident has always been a highly secretive secret of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention ordinary people, even the ministers of the court rarely knew the details. Li Zhen was able to learn the secrets not by relying on the "Rising Sun" in his hand. In fact,
It was Qin Qiong who told Li Zhen privately before his death because Li Zhen was not on the right track with the prince and Hou Junji, so he was afraid that Li Zhen would suffer a loss. Once the revelation was revealed, even Nalong, who was calm by nature, was also stimulated.
Unable to sit still, I stood up and walked around the secret room, my brows furrowed into a "Chuan" character.
"No, I'm afraid this matter may not come from the Holy Will. It seems that Hou Junji may have turned against him!" Nalong suddenly stopped and said with a glint in his eyes.
Li Zhen did know about Hou Junji's rebellion in her previous life, but she didn't know the reason for it. She only knew that historians in later generations had a lot of controversy about the matter. There were many people who believed that Hou Junji was wrongly accused.
At this time, hearing Nalong's words be so certain, he quite agreed, and suddenly stood up and said: "Sir, if this is the case, I will go to Gongmian Sheng early tomorrow morning to expose this matter. I can't call you an old monkey."
Just mess around in Chang'an City."
"No, this is absolutely impossible! Your Highness, this matter needs long-term consideration." Nalong was anxious and waved his hands hurriedly: "The prince does not have any evidence in his hand, but Wang Ji's words alone are not enough.
If the matter is exposed like this, do you think the Holy One will believe it? If you don't believe it, what can you do to the prince? Maybe he will be beaten down, but he will be reprimanded by the Holy One. Furthermore, the whereabouts of these weapons are unknown.
We don’t know how much power Mr. Hou has in his hands. If we forcefully reveal this matter, it will immediately be a life-and-death situation. If we fail to deal with it carefully, not only will we not be able to defeat Mr. Hou, but we are afraid that the situation in the Tang Dynasty will become chaotic. From now on,
Things can only be planned secretly, never act rashly!"
"Well, that's true." Li Zhen nodded and said: "Sir, I am still a little confused: with Lao Hou's experience, I can't see that the emperor's ability is incomparable to others, and where did he get the courage to rebel?
, Furthermore, the old monkey has always been close to the boss and has been helping the boss all these years. Could it be that he couldn't see that the boss was a fool and that the Holy One had the intention to dethrone the boss from his position as crown prince?
I think there must be something fishy about this. Could it be that my father specifically asked Hou Junji to help the boss in the open, but in fact he secretly stirred up trouble, so as to oust all the sons who have become troublesome?"
After listening to Li Zhen's analysis, Nalong's confidence was shaken a little. He thought for a while but did not dare to draw a conclusion. He just frowned and said: "Maybe, but I can't say for sure. I still have to take another look to decide what to do."
There is still room for maneuver, and there is still time to make decisions in the future, but how to deal with it now is the key."
"That's right." Li Zhen said with a smile: "Wang Ji is a good bargaining chip in the hands of the king. He has to make good use of it. Well, when Wang Ji disappears, no matter who my father sends to investigate the case, this matter
Generally speaking, it has to be a headless case. If we can try to get the third and fourth sons to take a dip in this muddy water, it would be very interesting."
Seeing Li Zhen's triumphant look, Nalong rolled his eyes angrily, lowered his head and walked around the secret room. After a long time, he suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, as the prince wishes.
, this matter wouldn’t be possible if...it’s like this?”
"Haha... Okay, that's it!" Li Zhen laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of excitement...
On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the 16th year of Zhenguan, there was a case at the Ministry of War's arsenal. It was night. An assassin secretly broke into the arsenal. More than a dozen Yulin officers and soldiers who had blocked the arsenal were killed. Liu Ji, the chief of the arsenal, disappeared. Early the next morning, the news reached the palace.
The emperor was furious and summoned all the princes and important ministers in the capital to the Ganlu Palace to discuss matters. After issuing the edict, the capital, which was already in a state of panic, immediately became turbulent and rumors spread everywhere.
The old man had a call, and he couldn't neglect it. Although Li Zhen had been busy all night and was already a little sleepy, as soon as he received the order, he hurriedly washed and changed clothes, and planned to take a big sedan to rush to the palace. Unexpectedly,
, just after leaving the palace gate, without even getting on the sedan chair, I saw a group of cavalry coming hurriedly from a distance. One of them was tall and fat, and it turned out to be Wei Wang Li Tai.
Ha, this kid is really impatient, interesting, so interesting! Li Zhen had already figured out that the third child and the fourth child would come looking for him, but he didn’t expect that the fourth child would come so quickly. He was secretly amused in his heart, but he didn’t
Before he could get carried away, he hurried a few steps forward to meet him, smiled and bowed his hands in greeting: "Fourth brother, what are you..."
Li Tai was fat, and he was already out of breath as he hurried all the way. Looking at Li Zhen with a puzzled look on his face, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Eighth brother, after receiving the order, I stopped by to see my eighth brother and enter the palace with him.
, how about you and my brother riding horses together?"
By the way? Which way? Political animals are indeed political animals, telling lies is as easy as drinking water. Li Zhen couldn't help feeling in her heart that the fourth child's face is as thick as a city wall. Without him, Li Zhen lives
In the south of the city, Li Tai's palace is in the west of the city. If they go their own ways to enter the palace, there is no way to talk about it. Fortunately, Li Tai said it so smoothly, which really made Li Zhen dumbfounded.
"Since the fourth brother is so elegant, I should keep him company." Li Zhen already knew Li Tai's true intention, but she didn't point it out. She just responded with a smile, ordered the sedan to be withdrawn, and asked the servants to carry the snow dragon.
He took out the colt, got on his horse, led his men and his bodyguards, and drove to the palace alongside Li Tai.
"Eighth brother, what do you think of the arsenal case?" Li Tai asked anxiously after just a few steps, with a look of longing on his face.
Haha, you caught a fool! Li Zhen's mind is very sharp. When he heard the fourth child's words, he immediately understood that what he had deliberately spread last night had reached Li Tai's ears. He was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was filled with confusion.
Pretending to be sad, he said: "Fourth brother, my younger brother is also worried about this matter. Alas, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. It involves too much... ah, hehe..."
Li Zhen's "gaffe" immediately lifted Li Tai's spirits. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a cute smile on his face: "Eighth brother, don't panic, your father has the final say in everything, and my brother always stands.
On your side, eighth brother, even if you continue to investigate, we will definitely not allow those treacherous villains to escape the sanctions of the Tang Dynasty's laws!"
"What the fourth brother said is that I have informed my father. I am also involved in this case. The investigation of the case is inconsistent with the system, and my father is also correct." Li Zhen said with a look of despair on his face.
Li Tai naturally knew what Li Zhen said a long time ago. Seeing Li Zhen's unhappy look, he immediately laughed and said: "Eighth brother is too modest, haha. Others don't know what your eighth brother is like, but I can trust my brother."
The eighth brother is cautious, hey, don’t worry, my brother will definitely protect the eighth brother in front of the father and preside over the case."
You bastard, you are still playing hard-to-get tricks with me. You are really playing a big ax in front of Lu Ban's door. You don't know whether to live or die! Li Zhen glanced at Li Tai, who had a look of disgrace on his face, and felt very angry and angry.
It's funny, but I didn't point it out. He just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although my father didn't say it clearly, the meaning is already there. The younger brother on this case is just a co-investigator, so I don't know who will take charge of the overall situation.
Alas, this case may not be easy to solve."
"Yes, the eighth brother is right. This case is of great importance. Tsk tsk, so many weapons are lost in the capital. It's amazing. If there is no capable person to check it, there will most likely be trouble. My brother thinks Wei, the doctor in the Ministry of Punishment,
That's pretty good. If he were to preside over the case, he would be able to succeed immediately. What do you think, eighth brother?" As he was about to arrive at the palace, Li Tai stopped talking nonsense and stated his intention directly.
Ha, the fox’s tail is exposed, it’s fun! Li Zhen pretended to be deep in thought and frowned, pretending to think. Li Tai’s eyes were so anxious that he wished he could answer it for Li Zhen, but
Li Zhen, however, was not in a hurry, and rode leisurely on the horse. After a while, she said: "Since he is the person that my brother likes, he must be good. I know it well."
"Haha, okay, now that the case has been solved, my brother will be the host. Please have a good time with my eighth brother!" When Li Tai heard Li Zhen's words, he seemed to agree, and he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
The horse took the lead and turned a corner and rushed towards the palace... dd
