Li Shimin said in shock, and then returned to normal.
With Li Chengqian, he would do what he said, and he would never take an extra step if he didn't say it. He was pure, respectful, filial, and had a well-behaved temperament. Li Shimin hoped that he would be more ambitious. However, in recent years, he had deliberately given Li Chengqian a chance, but this kid
All of them were able to do the things they were told to do well, and the opportunity given to them to place their subordinates into the court was not used once! This made Li Shimin feel happy but also a little disappointed.
Can a prince with no ambition really serve as the king of a country? What's more, there are many talented wolves, tigers and leopards around the Tang Dynasty. When he has these gangs of founding court officials, he can be a deterrent.
, once he and his old ministers have passed away one after another, how can Li Chengqian's temperament deter his surroundings? After all, lack of ambition also means lack of courage!
What's more, merchants from the south have confirmed that while he is still alive, the small Fusang Kingdom dares to have people pretend to be pirates to harass the people along the coast of the Tang Dynasty. Once he goes there, Li Chengqian lacks courage and there is no guarantee that Fusang will not come to him.
Fang Yiai said, learn advanced iron smelting, farming, medical and other technologies from the Tang Dynasty, and then attack us in the Tang Dynasty when our troops and horses are strong! After all, the combat capabilities of the Tang navy's navy are far lower than those of the cavalry and infantry!
Even a small Fusang may be like this. Who knows that the Western Turks, Goguryeo and Tuyuhun, who have always been ambitious, will not send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty? You know, Goguryeo has a convenient geographical location, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked it several times.
Even though they were not captured, it only aroused public anger and led to the collapse of the country.
The Western Turks also have powerful cavalry, which come and go like the wind, harassing the border gates everywhere, but it is also difficult to catch them. If Li Jing and Li Shiji had not cooperated perfectly this time, they would not have been able to defeat Jieli Khan.
.If the Turkic problem cannot be completely solved, there is no guarantee that it will not offend the Tang Dynasty again in the future.
Tuyuhun not only has a convenient geographical location, but also has cavalry and war-like stamina that are not inferior to those of the Turks. Moreover, news came from the Liangzhou area that Tuyuhun has made disobedient moves.
What's more, there is a Tufan in the southwest of Tuyuhun that is difficult to attack!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his frown. To be honest, he hoped that the assassination was related to the prince. This would at least show that he had ambitions to become a leader! Let's not talk about whether he has the courage.
Even if there was, no matter how stupid the child was, he would never be stupid enough to use the people around him, even though he was suspected of killing someone in the end.
There is also the matter of the Fang family. Leaving aside the fact that Li Chengqian has no grudges against the Fang family and there is no need to sow discord between Nurjiang and the Fang family, there is also the fact that Li Chengqian has recently admired Fang Yiai's brother, even if it is to win over him.
No, with Li Chengqian's temperament, he would definitely not make such a move. What's more, Xiaojiu, Li Zhi, Chengyang and Hepu, whom Li Chengqian has always loved, have always been on good terms with Qing Niang of the Fang family, so Qing Niang and Xiao Tingting
The thing that happened was not done by Li Chengqian.
On the contrary, it was Li Tai...
Let's not talk about the grievances between Fang Yiai and him, which are not big or small. It is the matter of choosing Master Wang when Li Tai opened his mansion two years ago. I once casually asked Fang Xuanling for his opinion, but he declined.
, I am afraid that this matter has already been known to Li Tai. Therefore, Li Tai's revenge on the Fang family is understandable, although his behavior is a bit excessive.
But if the assassination was really related to Li Tai, he not only wanted to assassinate himself, but also wanted to involve Li Chengqian and make him bear the charge of killing the emperor and his father. In this way, Chengqian's position as crown prince would definitely be unsafe.
After his own death, Cheng Qian lost his position as prince. In this way, the prince with the highest status is Li Tai!
Li Shimin was shocked, and his heart was silent, "Does Tai'er really have such scheming intentions?" Thinking of Li Taicheng's filial appearance, Li Shimin felt like his heart was cut by a knife, and his heart was filled with bitterness. Then he thought of Li Tai's arrogant temperament, and he
That temperament offended many ministers of the Chao Dynasty. Even if he and Cheng Qian both dismounted, I am afraid that the ministers of the Chao Dynasty would not choose to support Tai'er, right? The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more it made sense, and he felt that with Li Tai's intelligence and energy
He should not do this, not to mention that Li Tai admires the style of Wei and Jin and follows the words of the saints, so he should not do such things that damage his reputation. Thinking of this, Li Shimin eliminated Li Tai's suspicion, and he felt much better.
.
Since it's not Cheng Qian or Li Tai, could it be Li Ke? After all, he has the blood of two dynasties. If you include the blood of the Dugu family, it can be said that he has the blood of the three royal families and has the most noble birth.
.And he usually advances and retreats well-founded, gentle and courteous, which has won the praise of many courtiers. In the court, there are many relics of the previous dynasty who are fond of Li Ke. The strength of the Yang family is not weak. Is it true that Ke'er is disobedient?
heart of?
Just when Li Shimin was thinking secretly, the word "East Palace" struck the hearts of all the adults equally!
The first reaction of everyone is, could it be the prince who did it? The second reaction is, have everyone mistakenly looked at the prince? The prince has a deep scheming mind and has always hidden it? The third reaction is, it is impossible! Not to mention the prince's daily life.
He is a generous man, and even just now he risked his life to save the emperor. If we continue to suspect that the prince is scheming, then haven't we officials and courtiers lived a long life in vain? Why don't we all buy a piece of it?
Forget it if you are hit to death by tofu.
Looking at Li Shimin's face changing back and forth, everyone had no choice but to remain silent. After all, being suspicious is a common problem among those in power. What's more, there was an example of the Xuanwu Gate Incident. If the emperor himself couldn't figure it out, the minister
They rush to persuade each other rashly, fearing that it will have the opposite effect!
Others can remain silent, but Kong Yingda, as the Crown Prince and Tutor, cannot remain silent. After all, as the Crown Prince and Tutor, he has the responsibility to teach the Crown Prince. If someone doubts the Crown Prince, as his tutor, he cannot remain silent in his defense.
Once the emperor's suspicion about the prince is confirmed, he will not only fail to investigate and punish the crime, but may also lose his entire family!
He looked enviously at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had turned down their duties as tutors in the East Palace, and then looked at Sun Wuji, the country's uncle who had closed his eyes and seemed to be really asleep not far away. Kong Yingda sighed in his heart and took a look.
Li Shimin, whose expression changed at a glance, walked up to him and said angrily, "Your Majesty, I think that the assassination has nothing to do with the prince. The prince is usually a gentle man, generous to his subjects and people, respectful and filial to the emperor and queen, and
The other princes and princesses are even more friendly."
"Also, when I saw the emperor in danger before, His Highness the Crown Prince even rushed forward to rescue him without thinking about his own safety, but was injured by an assassin. Therefore, the assassination has nothing to do with the Crown Prince! However, the pen and ink eunuch in the East Palace may be someone else's dead soldier, specially used for
I’m here to frame the Crown Prince! I beg the Emperor to take a closer look!” After saying that, the old man knelt down on the ground.
Following Changsun Wuji, he opened his eyes, knelt down with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and said in unison, "I second the proposal, please let your Majesty take a closer look!"
As soon as they understood the emperor's thoughts, the three giants knelt down. The rest of the people, including Li Anyang who was standing, also knelt down, not to mention Zhao Yi, who was already kneeling. They all seemed to have been arranged in advance.
They all said with the same voice, "I second my opinion, please have your Majesty take a clear look!"
Li Shimin, who recovered his mind, looked with satisfaction at the person below who was kneeling to plead for Li Chengqian. It didn't matter. He happened to be looking at Fang Yiai who stood out among the crowd. No, it should be Fang Yiai who was standing alone while everyone was kneeling. Looking at Fang Yiai without focus.
With his eyes, and the way he was thinking for a while, frowning for a while, and grinning innocently for a while, he couldn't help but curiously asked, "Fang Yiai, what do you think?"
When she heard Zhao Yi talking about the human skin mask, Fang Yiai was busy doing photoshop, searching for the pair of eyes that she remembered deeply in her mind, because Fang Yiai intuitively felt that the assassin who used the crossbow might have those eyes.
The owner!
As a result, before the number was matched, Li Anyang's word "Donggong" shattered the entire human face library in his head. Looking at the shocked eyes of Li Shimin and everyone else, Fang Yiai curled his lips in disdain and thought to himself
, with Li Chengqian’s temperament, he feels that as long as he abides by his duties as the prince, he will sit on the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Emperor sooner or later, so he has no intention of rebelling now. Besides, I don’t believe that there is no spy planted by Li Shimin in the East Palace! Once the prince
If there is any unusual movement, Li Shimin will not receive any news?
Since Li Chengqian left the Qin Palace, he has been staying in the palace with Li Shimin and his wife. Because he is the crown prince and will inherit the entire country in the future, he does not want the princes such as Li Tai and Li Ke who leave the palace to build the palace and the income from the fiefdom.
All that was left was the prince's salary, and his monthly pocket money was only a few guan, which could not last more than dozens of guan. There was no money left to train his own men and bribe assassins.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yiai got up out of habit and began to think about the plot of the palace battle that was planned for Li Er's family. When he encountered something he was dissatisfied with, he would frown and tear it down and rebuild it. When he was satisfied with it, he couldn't help but tear it apart.
Opened his mouth.
This is the scene Li Shimin saw before.
"Uh? Ah, oh." Fang Yiai, who was awakened by Li Shimin's question, looked at Li Shimin in confusion. She felt that someone was tugging at the hem of her clothes again, and then she saw that everyone except herself and Li Shimin were
Fang Xuanling, who knelt down and pulled off her clothes, was staring at herself dissatisfied, with a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
Fang Yiai quickly knelt down obediently and bowed to the ground.
"The Emperor asked you what to say." Fang Xuanling looked at his son whose behavior was a bit exaggerated with black lines on his head, and had to remind him in a low voice.
"Oh?" Fang Yiai turned her head and said, got up from the ground, knelt straight, looked at Li Shimin who rolled his eyes in confusion, and asked directly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask me? What do you want?
