I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 29 Chapter 029
Qinzheng Hall.

At this time, the atmosphere in this place, which symbolized the power center of the Yu Dynasty, was extremely oppressive. All the big figures in the eyes of ordinary people were silent, for fear of offending Li Yuan who was sitting on the couch.

Li Yuan looked at the crowd with lowered eyebrows, his heart was burning with anger, his face was solemn, as if he was planning something.

Zhuang Fei, 'Kong Ming Jian' and the others squinted at each other, feeling as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, making them a little out of breath.

This is not because Li Yuan's martial arts cultivation is so high that they are in awe from their hearts, but sitting on the seat that symbolizes imperial power, the majesty that seems to be engraved in their hearts makes them feel afraid.

The Son of Heaven laid down millions of dead bodies in a fit of rage, that is by no means a lie.

Even, Li Yuan killed people in anger, they didn't even have room to resist.

There seems to be few people in the palace, but there are many murderous intentions that make the body and mind chill. This is the heritage of the royal family.

Everyone dared not speak out.

After a long time, Li Yuan broke the silence in the air.

"I propose to give the crown prince a cup of gold." After speaking, he paused, his anger seemed to disappear from his eyes, he closed his eyes, and tilted his head back slightly.

"Forget it, let the prince shut up in the palace for self-examination instead, and he is not allowed to step out of the palace for half a year. He ordered that all the officials involved in the drafting of the decree last night be sent to the third division for interrogation.
As for the Weishui Cao Gang, a rivers and lakes gang, there is no need to keep it anymore, and change it. "

The old eunuch standing next to the copybook bowed slightly and said softly, "No."

He raised his head and nodded towards the little eunuch standing outside, only to see that the little eunuch bowed and saluted and then slowly backed out.

After giving the decree, Li Yuan put his palms on the desk, and with a bang, he stood up.

This made Zhuang Fei and the others tremble with fear, and quickly knelt down on the ground and begged the buckle.

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger. The minister deserves death for his crimes."

Regardless of whether they were wrong or not, Zhuang Fei and the others admitted their mistakes first.

"Humph."

Li Yuan flicked his hands, raising his sleeves.

"Didn't you say that it was safe, a group of well-known martial arts masters in the capital, 11 people plus soldiers from the patrol battalion, let people escape, and there were more than 3000 taels of gold.

You tell Gu that it disappeared, disappeared under your noses, are you joking with Gu? "

Zhuang Fei and others kowtowed.

"The minister is guilty."

After repeating it many times, they couldn't figure it out. The disciples of the Cao Gang who questioned said that there were dozens of boxes of stolen money, but they searched the yard all over, and the dozens of boxes of gold were never found.

Reminiscent of the rumors of gold thieves during this period, Zhuang Fei and others didn't understand, but they scratched their heads and couldn't imagine how Li Ye moved these dozens of boxes of gold away.

Li Yuan looked at the kneeling crowd, thinking about something, and pondered for a while.

"There are clear rewards and punishments. You all contributed to the battle last night, but it was an unquestionable mistake to let the thief go. If your merits and demerits are equal, you will not be punished for the time being. Zhuang Fei, as the famous arrester of Diezhuang, then you are responsible for stealing this gold. Catch them and bring them to justice, and everyone will cooperate with you, within a one-month deadline."

After speaking, he waved.

Zhuang Fei and others agreed to retreat.

After they left, Li Yuan hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his bosom, covered his mouth, coughed a few times, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and swallowed the secret elixir under the service of the old eunuch.

The breath gradually calmed down.

"Ying San, send someone to keep an eye on the prince. I will give you half a year to meet the 'Eight-armed Iron Ape' and 'Swordsman of Autumn Water'. If you can subdue him, subdue him, and if you can't, cut him off. I don't want to see the prince have any henchmen in the martial arts world again." .”

As soon as the voice fell, a dark figure appeared in the shadows where the candlelight could not reach, as if absorbing all the surrounding light, a female voice came erratically.

"promise."

The shadow twisted, and the black shadow flickered quickly on the ground, and floated out of the window.

Li Yuan doesn't care about gold thieves, he doesn't care about a few thousand taels of gold. The Yu Dynasty has always been rich in gold mines, and there are countless gold in the warehouse every year. Compared with gold thieves, he cares more about the prince's servants famous martial artist.

These people are his serious problems.

At the first level of martial arts master, his personal martial power has already made him, a former emperor, pay attention to one or two things, especially when he is coupled with the status of the prince's disciple, the role he can play cannot help but be ignored.

At this time, the sky was already dim.

Li An, the 'Prince' whom Li Yuan spoke of, wandered around the mansion with an anxious expression on his face, his left fingers clasped his right fingers with his hands behind his back, and his brows became a little sad, as if he was thinking.

Li An has been walking around like this for a long time.

Not long after, an old man walked by the door, his robes reached to the floor, his figure was neither tall nor short, and he walked lightly.

The two sat down holding hands.

"Mr. Li, you are here and ask me for advice."

Mr. Li, whom Li An was talking about, looked at the anxious person in front of him, and sighed silently.

"I told you a long time ago, this matter cannot be rushed.

well!Forget it, don't mention this matter, the old man dared to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness, do you want to live or die? "

His pupils swelled, Li An looked at Li Jiming with a serious face, his heart sank, and he still thought of some bad consequences.

He opened his mouth.

"Mr. Li, you mean that my father would be so cruel just because of this incident."

Some couldn't go on, he didn't dare to bet on Li Yuan's heart.

"Didn't the prince say that your majesty is seriously ill, and he is afraid that he will die soon. Even if there is a secret medicine from the palace to hang his life, he will only have a few years to live. This majesty has always been ruthless, the fifth prince, the king of Shanzhou. .”

Li Jiming said a series of names, the more he said, the more uncertain Li An's heart became.

"All of these people are His Majesty's close relatives, but now, all of them have returned to Jiuquan. Your Majesty is greedy for power, especially those who are dying. The suspicion is even worse. It doesn't matter in the past, but at this time."

Li An heard the words, as if the panic in his heart had been dispelled, a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, yes, what the old gentleman said is that there are many heirs of the father and the emperor, and I am one less, and there are King Kang and the others, and there are countless precious medicines in the palace. It may not be impossible to keep the patient Seventeen alive for decades.

But he thinks that Shiqi will surely die, and it would be a waste to use it on him. He is not even willing to give a few plants of the precious medicine in the palace, and let Shiqi and his brothers seek their own money. He is not a person with family affection. "

He seemed to be persuading himself, his eyes became more determined.

"I can't wait to die, sir?" His eyes longed for Li Jiming.

"The prince has been cultivating the court and the martial arts world for many years. He also had a bad reputation in the past. He practiced the method of fighting for the reserve in an upright manner. In order to avoid chaos in the court, His Majesty will not immediately push the prince to the end. The prince still has time.

This time I missed one son. Once we can confirm that His Highness has lost his Sacred Heart, then we will take risks. "

Li Jiming stroked the beard on his chin.

"A way to take risks?" Li An muttered, his eyelids were drooping, he was thinking, and he couldn't figure it out.

"No matter what the method is, it will require a huge amount of money. I have a lot of silver in the palace, but this time I spent some money on the purchase of military crossbows. In addition to the expenses inside and outside the palace, it is difficult to spend too much money for a while. silk."

He looked at Li Jiming where the old god was, and was worried.

Li Jiming narrated the attention in his heart, and heard Li An nodding frequently.

"Scorching Heart Flower?" Li An pondered, and suddenly, he nodded and said, "Indeed, at this moment and at that moment, this Heart-Scorching Flower can no longer be kept, it should come in handy, then?"

Before the words came out, Li Jiming shook his hands and said repeatedly.

"No hurry, no hurry, we have to look at the situation and weigh it with Xia Xinge before we can make a decision."

Li An looked at the gray mist outside the window, and his eyes became deep, with some brilliance in his pupils.

While Li An and Li Jiming were discussing countermeasures, 'King Kang' Li Tai was listening to his subordinates' reports at the mansion, and suddenly laughed.

"OK!
The prince is going to lose his skin this time, it's just a military crossbow, why would he suddenly collect military crossbows?This amount is quite a lot, and it should be used for fighting for the position, but the father is still in good health."

Speaking of this, Li Tai narrowed his eyes deeply and took a deep breath.

"Mu, you should immediately send someone to the palace to ask, no, it should be a careful investigation, is there something wrong with my father's body, you must be careful in your actions, and you will not expose the spies in the palace if you can."

The man standing next to him responded, and he backed out.

The various families in Yujing have heard about it, and people keep coming out of the luxurious mansions and walking around each other. For a while, Yujing has more wind and cloud gathering, and the charm of waves and clouds is treacherous.

As for Li Ye who made this happen, he led the horse and walked slowly on Guangwu Street, heading towards the gate of the city.
