Datang: I was tricked by the system

Chapter 283 What a bad, bad old man

Just as Fu Yuan expected, after Li Yuan took Li Zhi back, he hurriedly edited a book and sent him to Chang'an quickly.

Two days later, Chang'an.

In a remote palace, the young man was sitting in the study and was concentrating on writing. A servant came in from the outside, saluted the young man and said, "Master, news came from Youzhou that something happened. Li Lizhi fell off the cliff, her whereabouts are unknown, and Luo Tong, the Zhennan general of Youtang, fell with her."

The teenager's pen paused.

A drop of ink dripped on the paper, slowly smudged, the young man frowned, glanced at the written words, gently picked up the paper, crumpled it up, and threw it aside together with the brush.

From the beginning to the end, the expression on the young man's face was calm and breezy, but his voice was a little colder.

"If you can't handle such a little thing, what's the use of my king raising you?"

"Master, please forgive me." The attendant was terrified, and hurriedly apologized.

"Go back and receive the punishment yourself." The boy didn't even give the attendant a look, but he dealt with him lightly.

"Thank you master for not killing me."

"Where is Li Zhi now?"

While talking, the boy changed his pen again, dipped it in blue ink, and stroked a few strokes lightly on the paper.

"Li Zhi is now sent to the Supreme Emperor by Chen Jinbai." The attendant knelt on one knee and said immediately.

Hearing the word Taishanghuang, the corner of the young man's lips curled up in a faint mockery, "Is Li Yuan? What kind of Taishanghuang is he?"

After saying that, the young man had finished writing the words. He picked it up and blew it, and threw it to the attendant, "You know what to do."

The attendant picked up the piece of paper, and saw a big "kill" word leaping on it.

Quickly responded, "This subordinate will make arrangements now."

"It's time to tell Li Shimin this news. You have someone leak this news to Li Shimin."

"Yes!"

……

That night, when Li Shimin was about to go to bed in the Lizheng Hall, he received news from soldiers who had gone to track down Li Lizhi and Li Zhi.

Li Shimin's face was full of anger and grief, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle and the Ninth Prince were assassinated in Youzhou. Princess Changle fell off a cliff. Her whereabouts are unknown, and her life and death are unknown."

"What about the childish slave?"

"The Ninth Prince was arrested by Li Yi's people, and the last general has not heard the news yet." The person who replied knelt on the ground and said with self-blame: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent and failed to pick up the ninth prince and the eldest princess. return."

"Have you found out who assassinated me, Changle?" Li Shimin was trembling at this moment, and he didn't know whether he was angry or distressed.

"The last general is incompetent, I haven't found out yet, it's just..."

"Just what?" Li Shimin slammed his fist on the table and said. "Say it!"

"The last general captured an assassin, and after some severe torture, the assassin confessed that this assassination was the order of Emperor You Tang Yi."

"Li Yi?"

Li Shimin was shocked, but felt a little strange, besides, Li Yi was not in Youzhou at this time, and he didn't know the whereabouts of Changle and Zhinu, so how could he make such an order for no reason?

"Where is the assassin now? I want to interrogate myself."

The general hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, forgive me, but the last general was ineffective. After the assassin confessed his words, he bit his tongue and killed himself."

"Bastard, it's clear that someone is sowing discord." Based on various deduction, it is clear that someone wants to provoke a war between him and Li Yi.

This matter has yet to be verified.

Ever since the incident with Li Yi, Li Shimin warned himself that no matter what happened, he had to do more investigation before he could draw a conclusion.

It was because of a misunderstanding that he and Li Yi got to where they are today.

In any case, he will not make the same mistake a second time.

"According to my will, secretly arrange a group of people to sneak into Youzhou to continue to investigate the whereabouts of the eldest princess and the ninth prince. In addition, we must investigate clearly who wants to kill me, Zhinu and Changle."

"The end will follow the order."

After the people retreated, Li Shimin was no longer sleepy. Empress Changsun had already passed out after learning that Chang Le and Li Zhi had been killed.

Looking at the pale-faced Empress Changsun, Li Shimin also felt very uncomfortable.

They have already lost a pair of sons, and they are no longer able to bear the loss again. Now they only hope that Changle and Zhinu can return safely.

"Jia Sheng, go and call Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Wei Zheng over. I will discuss something with them."

Soon, Fang Xuanling and others went directly to the imperial study room, after Li Shimin explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Several people were shocked.

"Your Majesty, from my old perspective, it is impossible for Emperor Yi to do this matter. Not to mention that he is not in Youzhou, he does not know the whereabouts of the eldest princess and the ninth prince at all. Even if he knew, he would not do it." Here comes the matter."

"Besides, Princess Changle lived in Youzhou for so long before, if he wants to kill the princess, why wait until now?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, "Duke Lu is right."

Wei Zheng frowned at the side, glanced at Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a good opportunity, then Li Yi is not in Youzhou, and he took away the main force of Youzhou. We can take the opportunity to send troops to recover the lost land and seize Youtang's food, horses and other resources..."

In Wei Zheng's view, no matter who assassinated Princess Changle and the Ninth Prince, it gave them a very suitable reason to send troops.

At this time, Youzhou's troops are empty, and Li Yi is busy with the Eastern Expedition, which is really a good opportunity.

Cheng Yaojin's complexion changed, "Oh, I said Wei Zheng, you old man, you really have a bad mind. Emperor Yi has helped us so much, so forget it if you don't appreciate it, but you are thinking of planning such a despicable thing. Really shameless."

"Why is this old man so shameless? If it wasn't for Li Yi, how could the territory of my Great Tang be divided into two?" Wei Zheng retorted with displeasure on his face.

"Now is a good time to recover the lost ground, don't let this time go by." Wei Zheng didn't have any friendship with Li Yi.

On the contrary, he is a person who values ​​ethics, and everything Li Yi has done has stepped on his bottom line.

Especially rebellion is the most intolerable thing for him.

He was wholeheartedly for Datang, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with taking the opportunity to attack Youzhou.

Li Shimin was already very troubled, but now he was even more troubled by their quarrel.

"Okay, stop arguing, let me think about it." If I had known that they were coming, it would be better not to call them here in the first place.

"Go back, I'm tired!"

Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng stared at each other before resigning from Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hands, full of helplessness. Wei Zheng's proposal certainly moved him, but he was also concerned about the safety of Changle and Zhinu. If they really died in Youzhou, he would definitely go to Li Yi to ask for it a statement.
