Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Chapter 704 Physical Evidence

The assassination of the emperor was no small matter. After Li Shimin returned to the military tent, the entire military camp immediately entered a state of war.

For safety reasons, the Habayashi Guards searched the entire military camp inside and out, including every tent.

Even Li Shen's camp is no exception.

Outside Li Shimin's military tent, there was a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. At this moment, Lu Yun, the governor of Jingzhou, was kneeling in front of Li Shimin, shaking like chaff.

When Li Shimin was assassinated, he was already frightened out of his mind. His Majesty was assassinated on the border of Jingzhou, and it was after he had made arrangements for it.

Even if I ask him to explain, he can't explain clearly. He is really unable to explain.

He knew that no matter what the outcome was, he would inevitably die.

At this moment, he could only kneel on the ground and pray for Li Shimin's forgiveness.

"Your Majesty, the Yulin Guards were ordered to pursue the assassins. They found five people absconding and killed three of them. We expected to leave some alive, but we didn't know that those two committed suicide by taking poison."

A Yulin Guard general came in from outside the tent, holding two crossbows and several crossbow arrows.

Li An stepped forward to take the murder weapon and put it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked calm. After taking a look, he ignored him and asked the generals with him:

"What do you think of today's events?"

"Your Majesty, I think this place is not suitable for long. It would be better to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and then have someone investigate the governor to find out who did it." Xue Wanche said cautiously.

"Yes, your majesty, the governor must strictly investigate, but for the sake of your majesty's safety, it is better to return to the capital first. I am afraid that there will be changes in the capital." Li Daozong also agreed.

What he said at the end was changed. Everyone knew what it meant. Of course Li Shimin also knew what it meant.

It should be said that he knew better than anyone else what Li Daozong was talking about.

However, Li Shimin didn't mean to worry, but shook his head confidently.

"Exit Daozong, please all go down."

Li Shimin said to the others, and they all left after saluting.

Li Shen also followed everyone silently and prepared to go out.

"Who asked you to go out? Come back and sit down." Li Shimin's voice sounded, and everyone turned around.

Li Shen also noticed that everyone was looking at him and looked back, but there was no one behind him.

"I'm talking about you, sitting there looking at whatever you're looking at." Li Shimin glared at Li Shen.

Everyone knew it was Li Shen they were talking about, so they ignored him and left.

Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:

"I still have to go back, but I'm not afraid of changes in the capital."

"Your Majesty has already made arrangements, but I am worrying too much." Li Daozong said reassuringly.

"I haven't arranged it yet, but now those in Beijing who have the ability to rebel are my confidants. Even if the rest want to rebel, they don't have the ability.

I feel relieved to have Xiao Gong in charge in the capital. Besides, there are those two fools and Shu Bao in the Nanya Forbidden Army, so no one dares to make a mistake. "

Li Shimin drank tea and confidently told Li Daozong that Li Daozong was not an outsider, but a close confidant of the clan.

Li Shimin was a military general, and he understood that the basis of politics was the sword in his hand, so Li Shimin had always had the strictest control over the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

"This will put your mind at ease. As your Majesty said, those who want to rebel do not have the ability."

Listening to his father and uncle talking about rebellion, Li Shen sat in his seat without daring to say a word.

He kept in mind a famous saying taught by his parents in his previous life that has been passed down through the ages: "Don't talk to children when adults talk to them." ’

"Daozong, what do you think of this assassination? Who do you think was responsible?"

As soon as the words changed, Li Shimin asked Li Daozong for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense, but according to what Yulin Wei said, these people are highly skilled in martial arts and good at hiding. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary assassinations.

Such a small number of people, under siege by hundreds of people, caused so many casualties to the Habayashi Guards. They must have undergone rigorous training.

It can be said that they are the elite among the elite, and their strength is above all. There should not be too many such willed teams, and they are all carefully selected.

I think we can start investigating from this aspect. "Li Daozong analyzed,

His expression was as usual, and there was no emotion in his words, but no one could detect the change in his heart.

When Li Daozong saw the weapons at this moment, he felt a little familiar. When the Yulin Guards just sent the assassin's crossbow and crossbow arrows, he had an idea in his mind.

But this also made him more confused. He didn't believe what he thought.

"Excellent in martial arts, good at hiding, proficient in assassination, disguised, and rigorously trained. Do you think there is such a team in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Shimin asked after repeating Li Daozong's words.

"Yes!" Li Shen raised his hand weakly.

"Aye, the sharp blade is...just...just."

"A sharp blade!" Li Shimin's face showed a look of realization.

"Yes, why didn't I think that my son would have such a powerful team?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with a smile.

"Aye, Aye, this matter has nothing to do with you. You were wronged. You didn't come out with a sharp knife. They are still in the Dongshan military camp."

When Li Shen saw Li Shimin's expression, he immediately cried and complained.

"Since you didn't bring them, how do you know they are still at Dongshan Military Camp? Isn't this more suspicious?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows to see how you would explain.

"This... this should be at the Dongshan Military Camp. Xue Rengui is watching over there. Xue Rengui must know when they come out."

"Then you are explaining this." Li Shimin said, taking out the token from his sleeve and throwing it on the table.

Li Shen looked carefully and saw that the token was engraved with the three characters "Prince Ji's Mansion", and the style was exactly the same as the token of the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion.

This Prince Ji's token was not designed by Prince Ji's Mansion itself, but issued by the clan, and it also had to be filed.

"Aye, Aye, this brand is fake. The sharp blade's token is different from the guard's token." Li Shen finally grasped the point,

"But how do you say this is the token of your Prince Ji's Mansion?" Li Shimin shook his head, feeling that Li Shen's explanation was not sufficient.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I feel that this matter should have nothing to do with King Ji. Your Majesty, do you think that King Ji has been smart since he was a child, so how could he plan such a futile assassination?

King Ji's ingenuity must be carefully arranged and interconnected. "Li Daozong also said with a smile at this moment,

Li Shen glared at Li Daozong and said to himself, "I'm so grateful to you." What you said before is very good. Why did you have to add the following words?

"Daozong, you don't know something. Why am I so confident about the capital? It's because I brought His Highness Prince Ji out because he was capable and powerful.

If he had been left in Chang'an, I would have rushed back now. "Li Shimin said playfully to Li Daozong.
