It can be said that there are some things, if they are said, then it is not so simple.

After hearing Shu An's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this matter is not the same as before, which is already a very good result.

But Li Xiuning knew that there must be the second brother's thoughts.

In other words, whether it is Li Xiuning or Li Shimin, or even Empress Changsun, they will all choose this way.

Although the news was well concealed, don't forget that many people saw what the other army said.

Some news still spread to Chang'an, and within a short period of time, it was still known to many people.

"What, the carriage returned by the Fourth Prince fell off a cliff?!"

"The horses are frightened, how is this possible, someone is definitely obstructing it."

"That's right, if the Fourth Prince doesn't come back, who will benefit the most?"

......

One after another voices of discussion resounded in Chang'an.

The spearhead in the words pointed directly at Li Ke, there is no way, if the fourth prince passes away now, then the third prince Li Ke will have the most advantage.

Shu Palace

Li Ke was stunned, because he naturally couldn't miss the rumors about Chang'an.

You must know that during this period of time, his mood was very low.

The reason is simple, the reputation of Qingque is getting higher and higher day by day.

But even so, he didn't have any murderous intentions.

Li Ke could see how his father treated Li You, and he didn't think he could hide it.

"This is definitely framed by someone!"

Li Ke realized this immediately.

But the key is now, if Qing Que is killed, then he is really the most likely.

"No, I want to enter the palace as soon as possible, and ask my father to clarify!"

Without hesitation, Li Ke realized that if he didn't say something now, it would definitely cause bad consequences.

In addition to the words directly related to Li Keren's huge reaction.

There was another person in Chang'an who knew the news immediately, and this person was Changsun Wuji.

Moreover, Changsun Wuji's face was very ugly, and he heard the news just after he came down to court.

After all, this is his own nephew, and the person most likely to inherit the throne.

"There's something weird about this thing."

However, Changsun Wuji frowned on this matter, realizing that it was not that simple.

Logically speaking, if the news is true, then His Majesty should have received the news one step earlier than them.

According to His Majesty's love for this nephew, it is possible that he will not be able to go to court early.

Even the expression on the face is not so calm, so the news may be false.

But there is no wind without waves, and Changsun Wuji was also puzzled for a while.

At present, there seems to be no evidence to prove the truth and falsehood, so we can only let it go for the time being.

Of course, it is not only Changsun Wuji who can think of this, but also other ministers in the court.

Everyone felt that this incident revealed a lot of weirdness.

"Shimin is going to cheat people again!"

Shu An in the academy had a strange look on his face after learning about Chang'an.

It is very simple to clarify, if Li Tai only needs to stand up, then all the rumors will be self-defeating.

But Li Shimin obviously told Li Tai not to show up for a while.

Anyway, the people who knew about Li Tai's return were either people from the academy or people from Baiqi.

The last rebellion was a reminder to Li Shimin that the people chosen were all loyal ones.

So these people can still keep it secret. Of course, it may also be because Li Shimin wants to find accurate evidence.

Whether it's Baiqi or Shufu's intelligence network, this is the first time they have cooperated.

The purpose is to capture Li Zhi's evidence with his own hands.

Even after thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help shaking his head.

It seems low-key, but actually has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he is talking about Li Zhi.

If it weren't for the immature means, he must be a good hand in internal affairs, but it's a pity that there are not so many ifs.

Chapter 8 Seventy Unexpected News, Final Decision

Shu An doesn't pay much attention to Li Zhi, after all, Li Shimin can teach himself.

What Li Tai said at the beginning was because the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and Li Shimin had not long been enthroned.

He is busy with government affairs, so naturally he doesn't have much time.

Therefore, it is reasonable and well-founded for Li Tai to be handed over to the academy, but it is not necessary when it comes to Li Zhi.

As for the current situation, Shu An really didn't participate in Li Zhi's case.

Regarding Li Shimin's arrangement, he didn't intend to sabotage anything, anyway, he will solve this matter.

"Master, Zheng Guogong has died."

But when paying attention to the affairs of Chang'an, Wu Shun's words appeared next to Shu'an and said aloud.

Shu Kuanghu was sent to communicate with Baiqi, and naturally Wu Shun came to the academy as the manager.

Hearing the news of Wei Zheng's passing, Shu An's face was expressionless.

Because Wei Zheng has been ill since last year, if he remembers correctly.

It seems that the beginning of the year should have passed away, but unfortunately, it has persisted until now.

Naturally, due to the influence of my arrival, some deviations appeared.

Shu An could only sigh slightly at this point, Wei Zhengren was still pretty good in his memory.

The two of them are not familiar with each other, it is more likely that they met each other a few times.

"Send someone to offer condolences!"

Shu An ordered directly, but this matter can buffer the current atmosphere in Chang'an.

The same is true in fact, because Li Shimin didn't send anyone to confirm about the matter of the fourth prince, but he didn't send anyone to deny it either.

So Chang'an disagreed. Some people thought that the fourth prince was dead, while others thought that he was still alive.

Now because of Wei Zheng's matter, it can be regarded as a temporary pause, but this is only temporary.

The reason is simple, the army will return in half a month.

When the time comes, everything will be revealed, and the noise will not stop during this period of time.

And because Li Shimin had no intention of refuting the rumors, the matter about Li Tai's carriage falling off the cliff was quickly affirmed.

If you want to hide this matter, you can't hide it.

Royal Study Room

Li Shimin also sighed slightly when he received the news about Wei Zheng.

This emperor is well prepared, and a lot of things have happened this year.

So I can't bear it that much. I can even bear the news of falling off a cliff.

Not to mention now, this emperor, as Shu An said before, has an extraordinary ability to bear.

And compared to Wei Zheng's matter, Li Shimin was more concerned about his youngest son's problem.

The reason is very simple, that is, the results of the joint investigation between Baiqi and Shufu came out.

"Not one of my sons is a fuel-efficient lamp."

Li Shimin murmured softly with complex eyes, not knowing what mood he was in.

The investigation revealed that there was one person who came from a humble background, but went in and out of the Shu Palace.

The name is Li Yifu, and the most important thing is that this person has secretly maintained communication with Li Zhi.

If it wasn't for Baiqi and Shu's secret agents who had been watching for a long time, they would not have found out.

Thinking of Li Ke's panic when he entered the palace a few days ago, even Li Shimin didn't know what to say.

"Handling orders to make people dispel rumors."

"Send someone to mourn Wei Xuancheng"

"Another word will summon Li Zhi."

Li Shimin finally decided to say that there should be some closure to this matter.

In other words, when the army returned, he made Li Tai the crown prince.

......

It was not the first time that Li Zhi came to the Imperial Study, but he had never been so anxious.

In fact, after sending out the killer, Li Zhi had some regrets.

Caught in a kind of entanglement between heaven and man, it is a pity that there is no turning back.

"My son has seen his father!"

Li Zhi said respectfully.

But Li Shimin didn't respond, not even the slightest emotion.

Still reviewing the government affairs in front of him, still ignoring Li Zhi.

Li Zhi naturally didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, but his heart was suffering.

Because the emperor's behavior was a little abnormal, it was obvious that he had exposed himself.

After several hours, until late at night, Li Zhi still stood still daring not to make any movements.

Although it was exposed, Li Zhi felt that what he did would not be discovered.

It should be the father's guess, or what Li Ke said.

But Li Shimin's words were actually somewhat disappointing in his heart, disappointed with this son.

Know that he has given this son a chance.

I hope he can take the initiative to admit it, but Li Zhi obviously does not give up until the Yellow River.

"have a look!"

Li Shimin threw out Baiqi's investigation about Li Yifu.

Li Zhi's complexion changed slightly when he saw the information at first glance, but after reading all the information, his complexion was only pale.

The reason is very simple, that is, everything has been exposed, and the evidence has been obtained.

"Pfft!"

"Father, this son is guilty!"

Li Zhi fell to his knees directly, also filled with panic, knowing that murdering his brother was a serious crime.

If the father is determined to be ruthless, then it is not impossible for him to be given death.

After all, Li Zhi is a boy who has not experienced many things.

Before that, his composure was completely pretended, but once it was exposed, everything would be false.

"It's because I didn't teach you well!"
