The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Yes!" The Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guards bowed and responded.

Li Shimin paced in the hall, thought for a while, and called him again.

"Wait a minute."

The Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guards stopped and bowed to listen to Li Shimin's instructions.

"There are quite a few people in Chang'an City on the Lantern Festival, right? The people are all out for the festival. Even if you search in Chang'an City, don't make too much noise." Li Shimin said, "Don't disturb the people too much, understand?"

"Yes." The Lieutenant General of the Jinwu Guards bowed and responded.

"Go." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Li Shimin was the only one left in the side hall, and he paced in the hall.

How could Li Fu encounter an assassin?

Who did this kid offend? He actually wanted to kill him on the Lantern Festival. Was this a premeditated assassination?

Just now, the Jinwu Guards said that Li Fu was rescued.

It's good that he is okay.

When he heard that Li Fu was assassinated, Li Shimin was really scared for a moment.

If Li Fu really got into trouble, how would he explain it to the emperor?

Moreover, his cousin was very capable and helped him a lot.

Now, someone actually wanted his life, what a courage!

Li Shimin's first reaction was that this matter was inseparable from some old officials of Wude.

During the New Year's Day court meeting, he hit Feng Deyi, and Pei Ji stood up to smooth things over. They should have understood what he wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to warn the emperor by attacking Li Fu?

Li Shimin couldn't help but start thinking about the "conspiracy theory".

After the Wu Hous came, the chaos on the banks of Qujiang Lake was quickly calmed down. People were still immersed in the excitement of the Lantern Festival, and Qujiang Lake was lit up and enjoyed the lanterns.

And what happened just now was just a topic of conversation for others.

The next day, someone came from the palace and summoned Li Fu to the palace.

Li Furen was still asleep when he was pulled up to receive the people in the palace, and then followed them into the palace in a daze.

After waiting in the side hall until the court meeting was over, he met Li Shimin.

"I heard that you were shopping outside yesterday and met an assassin." Li Shimin said, "When the Jinwu Guard reported it, I sent the South Court and the North Court to search for those assassins in Chang'an City."

"Thanks to your majesty, I am fine. It's nothing. It's just that my guard Wu Liangye was injured to protect me." Li Fu said.

"It's good that you are fine. I can only feel relieved when I see you are fine today." Li Shimin said, "In a while, you will also show up in front of the emperor. This matter cannot be concealed. Instead of letting the emperor know about this from others, let the emperor know that you are fine first."

"Yes." Li Fu responded.

"Have you thought of any clues about this matter?" Li Shimin asked, "After the Jinwu Guards searched Chang'an City yesterday, they did catch two suspicious people. They are now in jail. After a night of interrogation, they haven't gotten anything out of them yet. These two people are very tight-lipped."

"I can't figure it out either. I spent most of the night thinking about who has such a big grudge against me and wants to kill me." Li Fu said viciously, "If I knew who was doing this behind the scenes, I..."

He stopped talking halfway.

"Oh? What do you want?"

"I... of course will find the person and hand him over to you, my second brother, for disposal." Li Fu's face was full of smiles.

He secretly started to stab the villain in his heart.

If I knew who was secretly trying to kill me, I would definitely ask Wu Liangye and others to throw explosives in the middle of the night and send you a thunderstorm!

"The most important thing right now is to figure out this matter and find out the mastermind behind it." Li Shimin said, "Do you think it is possible that it has something to do with the old minister Wude in the court?"

"Old minister Wude?" Li Fu was puzzled. He had no intersection with them.

If we talk about this group of old guys, the leader is Pei Ji.

But although he has some grudges with the Pei family, Pei Ji is an old fox, he is not a fool. Now he wants to rely on the remaining power of the emperor to gain a foothold in the court. It is not good for him to offend him.

Li Fu felt that Pei Ji would not be so stupid.

If something really happened to him and it was traced to the Pei family, the emperor would not let the Pei family go.

Apart from other things, Li Yuan is a man who values ​​family affection. Even if he has a good relationship with Pei Ji, Pei Ji is still an outsider, and he is Li Yuan's nephew, and a relative that Li Yuan personally found back...

"That's right, old minister Wude." Li Shimin repeated: "You may not have paid close attention to what has happened in the court recently. Now is a critical moment for the transition from the old to the new. If the court wants to implement new policies, it must change"Some new people are coming up. Do you understand this?" Li Fu nodded. "I understand this. Your Majesty, do you think it is them?" Li Fu asked. Li Shimin shook his head: "I don't know, but since two people have been arrested, we must interrogate them to get some useful information. Li Fu, do you want to go and see it yourself?" "It's good to go and see it." Li Fu replied: "We have to find out in the end, otherwise we will be scared when we go out in the future. Assassinating nobles in Chang'an City is a taboo for too many people. Moreover, this is a blatant provocation to the court, the law, and the royal family. The intention is to kill. "

The assassination is not clear, and it affects more than just Li Fu.

Think about it, Chang'an City, under the feet of the emperor, has been patrolled very strictly, but such a thing still happened.

Does that mean that if there are any grudges or personal grudges in the future, there will be no bottom line, and just committing crimes in the streets to avenge grudges?

Will the noble officials allow such things to happen? If so, they are the most dangerous.

As an official in the court, who dares to say that he has not offended anyone?

Some things are the bottom line and cannot be touched.

Therefore, the assassination of Li Fu also caused indignation in the court, and everyone asked Ask the emperor to investigate this matter strictly and rectify the public security in Chang'an.

If this matter is not handled strictly, it means that any court official will not be safe walking on the streets of Chang'an in the future.

Li Shimin asked Li Wu to take Li Fu to the cell to meet the two suspected assassins, while he stayed in the side hall to summon ministers and handle government affairs.

On the way, Li Fu asked Li Wu about the interrogation in the cell yesterday.

"We asked and tortured them, but they insisted that they did not assassinate Your Highness. However, Your Highness will go over and take a look later. Maybe you can see something. I don't know if Your Highness saw their faces clearly at that time." Li Wu said.

Li Fu nodded.

Those people did not wear face masks when they assassinated him. Of course, Li Fu had seen the assassins.
