Chapter 43 The best candidate

"Gao Ming is here, sit down and talk." Empress Changsun put down the needle and thread in her hand and said with a smile.

He is very satisfied with this son, he is diligent and studious, and he is also very filial.

After Li Chengqian sat down, Empress Changsun asked with a smile: "Gao Ming came just in time, and I will go back after dinner with my mother."

"Mother, my son came here to report something." Li Chengqian said with a serious face.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Empress Changsun felt that the matter was not simple, so she waved her hand to signal the others to back down.

The eunuchs and maids who were serving on the side bowed and slowly retreated.

"Tell me, what happened." Empress Changsun put away her smile and asked.

Li Chengqian took out the paper from his bosom, handed it to Empress Changsun respectfully, and said, "Please take a look at it, Queen Mother."

Although Empress Changsun was puzzled, she still took it, opened it and looked at it.

Empress Changsun frowned when she saw the above content.

After reading it, Empress Changsun's face darkened.

However, she hadn't experienced any storms in these years, so she quickly calmed down and asked calmly, "Why are you investigating this?"

"My son heard about the dangers of inbreeding in the market, so I asked someone to investigate, but I didn't expect it to be true. Empress, the danger of inbreeding is so great, my younger sister can't marry Changsun Chong." Li Chengqian said anxiously.

Empress Changsun did not respond to this question, but took a deep look at Li Chengqian, and said seriously: "Gao Ming, tell your mother, are you really investigating this matter for your sister, or is it because you don't like your uncle?"

She knew that Li Chengqian didn't like Changsun Wuji, if he really wanted to investigate this matter for his sister, she would be very relieved.

If he was investigating this matter in order to hit his uncle, then the problem would be serious.

"Queen, of course I'm doing it for my sister, otherwise why would I investigate these things?" Li Chengqian said with some doubts.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Empress Changsun knew that he was not lying. After all, he was her son, and she knew it very well.

Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Chengqian wasn't trying to deal with Changsun Wuji.

"Okay, the queen mother knows about this matter, you go back first, you remember that no one can tell about this matter, absolutely no one should know that you have investigated this matter." Empress Changsun confessed.

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian didn't know why Empress Changsun said that, but he knew that Empress Changsun would not harm him, so he saluted and then withdrew.

Ugh!
After Li Chengqian left, Empress Changsun sighed, feeling that the matter was very difficult.

It's fine if you didn't know before, but now that you know, the marriage between Chang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi will definitely not work out.

It is impossible for her to let her daughter jump into it knowing that it is a heated kang.

But she knew her brother very well.

Changsun Wuji asked Li Lizhi to marry Changsun Chong in order to consolidate the power of his family.

He didn't care whether the child he gave birth to would be a deformed idiot.

What he wanted was Li Lizhi's status as the eldest princess. As for inheriting the incense, he just had to take concubines.

Changsun Wuji has always supported Li Chengqian, but he is very suspicious.

If Changsun Wuji knew that it was Li Chengqian who broke the matter.

Then he will have a grudge against Li Chengqian.

Changsun Wuji must have supported the son of Empress Changsun to succeed to the throne.

But Empress Changsun has more than one son.

When Changsun Wuji felt that Li Chengqian was targeting him, he would abandon Li Chengqian and support the other sons of Empress Changsun.

It is very likely to be Li Tai, and it may also be Li Zhi.

This will lead to brothers killing each other.

The change of Xuanwu Gate is still vivid in my mind, Empress Changsun doesn't want her son to experience it too.

That's why she specifically explained to Li Chengqian.

After thinking for a long time, Empress Changsun was still not at ease.

"Ruxue!" Empress Changsun shouted.

"The servant is here!" Ruxue hurried in when she heard Empress Changsun's voice.

Empress Changsun called Ruxue to her front, gave some instructions in a low voice, Ruxue nodded and took the order to leave.

"Who made my Guanyin maid angry?"

Li Shimin walked into the Lizheng Hall, saw Empress Changsun sitting there with a sullen face, and said with a teasing smile that he didn't even notice him coming in.

"The concubine has seen His Majesty." Empress Changsun came back to her senses and hurriedly saluted.

"I see you are unhappy, what's the matter?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, this was brought by Gao Ming, please take a look." Empress Changsun handed over the paper.

After reading it, Li Shimin couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and asked flatly, "Why is Gao Ming investigating this?"

Obviously he and Empress Changsun wanted to go together.

Empress Changsun told Li Shimin the ins and outs of the incident.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Empress Changsun asked anxiously.

"Don't worry." Li Shimin took Empress Changsun's hand and comforted her with a smile.

"Did you explain to Gao Ming?" Li Shimin asked.

"The concubine has already explained. Just in case, the concubine asked Ruxue to deal with it." Empress Changsun said.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and said: "The marriage between Lizhi and Changsun Chong must not go on. Xin Hao hasn't agreed yet, so there is room for relaxation."

"Then how did the concubine tell my brother?" Empress Changsun asked.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "As long as the results of this investigation are announced, I believe that the assistant will know about it, but the results of this investigation must be brought out by others."

"Who is your Majesty going to ask to take it out?" Queen Changsun asked.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "You will know when the time comes. If this person mentions it, the auxiliary machine will definitely not think too much."

"Your Majesty, it can't be..." Empress Changsun seemed to have guessed it.

Li Shimin nodded, smiled without saying a word.

……

Although Wei Zheng is the Duke of the state, he has no airs. He likes to hang out in teahouses and wine shops when he is free.

On this day, after Wei Zheng came to court, he came to a restaurant, ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and listened to other diners chatting while drinking.

Although the wine here is not as good as that at Cheng Yaojin's house that day, and the food is not as good as that in Keyunlou, but he still eats with relish.

"Do you know that the child born to the old Liu's wife is deformed."

Three middle-aged men sat on a table next to Wei Zheng, and one of them spoke.

"Why haven't I heard of it? The old Liu family really doesn't know what evil they did." Another person said with a sigh.

"Who told him not to listen to me? I told him that close relatives can't get married. I insisted on letting his son marry his sister's daughter. I said kissing made me closer. Now that a fool is born, you know the consequences." Another person He took a sip of his wine and shook his head.

"How do you hear what you mean, you already knew?" The deskmate asked quickly.

"Of course, you know that I am not from Chang'an. The village where I live and the village next door intermarry all the year round. Basically, the two villages are closely related, but many of the children born are either stupid or deformed."

"At first we thought that the whole world was like that, but then a miracle doctor came and said that it was because of the marriage of close relatives. We didn't believe it at first, but when we marry women from other places in our village, this rarely happens, so we have to believe it. gone."
