I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 13 Chapter 013
in the hall.

Li Yuangao sat on the throne symbolizing supreme authority, looking down at many ministers below.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on Li Zhi who was wearing a python robe beside him, he didn't stay long, and then flashed past.

Li Zhi's face was a little ugly. Last night, many of his properties were attacked by unknown people, and many of his subordinates were lost. The property that was going to be sent to the western region was also looted.

He also felt Li Yuan's gaze on him, and he didn't listen to the political affairs reported by the ministers, but he was racking his brains to think about the person who made the move.

"The minister has reported to the superior." Someone came out.

Li Yuan nodded, "Say."

"Great victory in the Western Territory, General Zhengxi defeated the main force of the Qian clan's rebels at Wangdun Mountain, and the Langya Kingdom submitted a letter to the courtiers. The victory of the army should be rewarded."

Some were shocked, some panicked, and some looked calm.

The faces of the princes next to the clan's relatives changed drastically. If anyone wanted Li Ting to make meritorious service, then it was them.

"Rewards, fourteen and made great achievements. Over the past five years, he has repeatedly made military exploits, extolling my great Yu Wuwei, and the Ministry of Rites shall designate the title of county king. According to the regulations, after the army's squadron returns to the court, rewards will be given together."

Li Yuanfang said something happily.

Although the war was won, it will take a lot of time for the follow-up to suppress and clear the remnants of the crimes and the return journey. It is estimated that it will take half a year or a year for the class teacher to return to the city.

This time is enough for him to balance the court.

"No." The Minister of Rites stepped out and said.

'So refreshing. '

Li Zhi looked at Li Yuan on the high platform without showing any trace, and suddenly understood in his heart that maybe the person who shot was not someone else, but Li Yuan who was sitting on the throne.

Another discussion sounded.

After a while, a young eunuch ran to Li Yuan's accompanying old eunuch Dou and whispered something in the ear, which made the old eunuch Dou's face change slightly.

Li Yuan looked at the old eunuch Dou approaching, and after hearing a few words from him, his expression turned ugly.

"Let him in."

The voices of everyone discussing gradually decreased, and they also saw the scene just now. Generally, the situation is not urgent, and the old eunuch Dou will not report to Li Yuan immediately.

"Xuan, Gong'e Wei sees you." A voice sang and shouted.

Wei Niang, who was dressed as a court lady, walked over quickly, knelt in front of the hall, and arched the yellow folds with her hands.

"On behalf of the Seventeenth Prince, I implore His Majesty to be the master of His Highness. Last night His Highness was assassinated by an assassin sent by Sijizhuang, a power that despises imperial power. He was suddenly frightened. My prince is weak!
This scare cost most of his life, and now he is bedridden, and his life may be in danger. "

The dying person in her mouth is eating meat at this time, but all this is unknown to outsiders.

Li Yuan took the notebook and pretended to read the content on it.

The assassination of the prince is related to the majesty of the royal family, especially when Li Ting has made great achievements, even if he wants to take sides, he has to put on a show.

The ministers discussed.

"The seventeenth prince, what seventeenth prince? I haven't heard of the seventeenth prince at the annual banquet?"

someone asked in a low voice.

Many low-ranking courtiers were not aware of this Li Ye who never appeared at royal banquets, and discussed in low voices.

"Don't talk, there's something exciting to watch now." Someone said.

Li Zhi had heard the news from the Summer Academy as early as last night, he quickly squeezed out tears with his superb acting skills, his steps were heavy, his face was full of shock and anger, he stepped out of the ranks of his clan, and bowed to salute.

"Father, my seventeenth family is so pitiful!

He has been weak since he was a child. He used to live in a secluded summer courtyard and lived a quiet life. He was unable to accept grace at the knees of his father and mother. He suffered from cold and poison every week, and his life was lost. "

As he said that, he choked up, and the tears flowed straight, very contagious.

It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who hear it.

"It's not that the king of Guangling County doesn't talk much on weekdays, why now?" Someone whispered.

"You are stupid! The seventeenth prince is the younger brother of the king of Guangling County and General Zhengxi. Now, the second prince may be in trouble." The person next to him responded.

Many courtiers are well aware of the relationship between Sijizhuang and the second prince.

The prince, who was also wearing a boa robe, thought for a while and walked out immediately.

"Father, this matter should not be forgiven lightly. I'm afraid that the seventeenth brother's misfortune was not caused by individuals. Recently, there are many forces in the rivers and lakes that cause troubles in various places. I heard that the Bohai Sea where Sijizhuang is located is especially serious.

Not punishing is not enough to revive the majesty of the royal family, please make the decision! "

Another member of the clan walked out.

"Nonsense, Prince, why are you doing what you want? I have never heard of Bohai's Shangzuo mentioning that the Four Seasons Village you mentioned is causing troubles in the local area."

Li Zhi didn't speak, but had a sad look on his face.

It was the prince who took over his artillery attack, and he and Wei Niang were just starting.

"Oh!

According to what you said, the seventeenth brother lied, he is a person who has strode out of the Summer Academy, and he has a grudge against Siji Zhuang. "

Suddenly, the prince showed a dazed expression.

"Oh, I heard that the second brother's uncle's family is married to Sijizhuang, so it is so, so it is."

A pair of guessed some ulterior secrets, praised again and again.

"Nonsense, father is the king of sage."

Li Yuan handed over the booklet in his hand, looked at the two arguing, and hurriedly stopped it.

"Okay, I will send someone to investigate this matter to see if the disciples of Sijizhuang did it, but the dignity of the royal family cannot be desecrated."

Turn the topic and continue the discussion.

After the court meeting, Li Zhi did not leave the palace immediately, but applied to visit Concubine Yi, so as not to worry her.

Evening sunset.

summer courtyard.

Li Ye looked at the panting man lying on the ground, and motioned for Xiangyu to take him down.

Xiangyu tapped several acupuncture points on the visitor's body again, sealing his body so that he could not move.

"Before the palace comes to give him a ride, we just need to make sure that he is recognized as a person from Sijizhuang."

Li Ye looked at the pleading eyes and said.

People are out of his field of vision.

He picked up the rag on the table and wiped the Tang Knife until it was shiny, then returned to the sheath, and then the joints of his body were like a twisted clockwork, transmitting heavy force from bottom to top, and his wrist moved in accordance with the trend.

The silver light suddenly appeared, and the air flow was discharged to both sides.

The knife brushed over a leaf of a low bush, and with a bang, the leaf broke into two pieces, one fell to the ground, and the other still grew on the branch, but the cut was not very neat, but seemed torn and bent.

"It's okay, at least half of it is left on the branch."

Li Ye muttered something in his mouth.

Another night passed like this, and in the early morning of the next day, several uninvited guests entered the courtyard with the badge of Diezhuang.

Die Zhuang is an institution responsible for monitoring and suppressing Jianghu forces.

The leader is a thick-backed burly man, about 30 years old, with many folds on his face as if he had experienced vicissitudes of life, and his hair is even more grizzled as if he has used his brain too much. He is the famous "white-headed detective" Zhuang Fei in Diezhuang.

He was accompanied by a woman and two men.

Lao Xin greeted each other and greeted each other for a while.

Later, he was taken to the cell by Lao Xin, where he saw the murdered prisoner and three other survivors.

The woman in blue patrol clothes stepped forward to examine the dead man's face and wounds.

"It's the traitor 'Zhou Qian' from Sijizhuang, the wound is still fresh, and there are marks of beatings on his body, my lord, I think this is very strange."

Of course Zhuang Fei saw it, turned his head to look at Lao Xin, and asked.

"Why is this happening? The prisoner is going to commit a crime. What else do you want to hide?"

Lao Xin didn't panic, but said.

"Our Highness woke up and gave an order to take his life in a fit of anger. As subordinates, we dare not disobey His Highness's order, lest something unexpected happen to him if he is extremely angry."

Zhuang Fei didn't get entangled in this question, and spoke again.

"I wonder if we can meet with His Highness so that we can solve the case faster."

Lao Xin didn't care about Die Zhuang's difficulties, and at the same time he got Li Ye's order, so he didn't plead with Zhuang Fei at all.

"My Highness is weak and needs more rest. His Highness also said that he won't see anyone. If there is any problem, you and I can't afford it."
