I'm a marquis in Datang

After the two brothers left Ganlu Hall, they stood at the entrance of the main hall and walked a certain distance. Li Yuanji sighed and said: "Brother, we have lost a lot against Du Qi this time. Even the right to go to war will be deprived by the emperor. King Qin You must be overjoyed when you get the news of the expedition.”

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Du Qi is my nemesis Li Jiancheng. Because of Du Qi, the East Palace has suffered repeated setbacks. Now, even the expedition has been taken away. If you don't kill Du Qi, it will be hard to get rid of my heart." hatred."

Li Yuanji sighed and said: "It is very difficult to kill Du Qi. Take Wang Zongzhou's assassination of Du Qi as an example, our preparations are extremely sufficient. But in the end, we ended up like this. , and taking our identities into account, we have not been dealt with for the time being, but have been deprived of the right to march."

Li Jiancheng said: "There is still a long way to go, let's wait and see, I don't believe that Du Qi can always go so smoothly."

Li Yuanji nodded.

The two walked hand in hand and strode away.

Chapter 358

Emperor's mind

Sitting in the Ganlu Hall, Li Yuan approved the execution of Wang Zongzhou, and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments to step down, without immediately making a decision on how to deal with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

One of these two is the crown prince and the other is the king of Qi. They are both Li Yuan's sons. It is impossible to really question the crime.

The Minister of the Ministry of punishment also knew, so he left.

Li Yuan sat alone in the room with a thoughtful look on his face.Although he regarded Du Qi as his grandson, he never doubted Du Qi's wisdom and ability. In this assassination, Du Qi must have known all the participants.

In particular, Du Chuke is Du Qi's real uncle, so it is even more impossible to conceal Du Qi.

What Li Yuan was thinking about was comforting Du Qi.

This is the most critical.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan looked up at Xiao Li who was beside him, and asked, "Xiao Li, this time Du Qi was assassinated, and the crown prince and King Qi were also involved. How do you appease Du Qi this time?"

Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty, Du Qi is a sensible child. Presumably, he can understand your majesty's difficulties. After all, your majesty is also in a dilemma. The prince of the country cannot handle it lightly."

"Yes, what the prince has done, I am both indignant and inconvenient to deal with."

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Originally, Li Yuan always felt that Li Jiancheng was steady and sensible.But after a series of things happened, Li Yuan felt that Li Jiancheng was too much to worry about, and the old man and Du Qi couldn't get along.

Li Yuan thought about it in his heart, and after a long time, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"There is a way!"

A smile appeared on Li Yuan's face, and he ordered: "Xiao Li, send someone to summon Du Qi to the palace for an audience."

"Yes!"

Xiao Li made arrangements immediately.

Time passed little by little, and not long after, Du Qi entered and saluted Li Yuan respectfully: "Minister Du Qi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Give a seat!"

Li Yuan gave an order.

The little eunuch moved to sit on the stool, Du Qi sat down and said: "Your Majesty summoned me, I don't know why?"

Li Yuan said: "I called you here because of the assassination in West Street."

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty is concerned, and I am very grateful. Although I have been frightened, it has no effect and has never been injured. Your Majesty, the assassination of the mere royal family is nothing to be afraid of."

Li Yuan smiled lightly: "You just said that the Wang family sent people to assassinate, why didn't you say that King Qi also participated in it, and even the East Palace once supported the Wang family and arranged for the Wang family's red wolf to enter Chang'an."

Du Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard it.

Some surprises.

Li Yuan actually mentioned this on his own initiative.

Du Qi's mind turned quickly, thinking about the countermeasures.According to Du Qi's original intention, he wished to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, because the hatred between him and each other had penetrated deep into his bones, and it was impossible to reconcile.

Once Li Jiancheng succeeds to the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Du Qi can be sure that none of the Du family, young or old, will be able to stay.As for Li Yuan

Ji, that is the same pair of pants as Li Jiancheng, there is no difference.

The hatred between Du Qi and Li Yuanji is tantamount to the hatred between him and Li Jiancheng.

It's just that things can't be handled like this.

If he could handle it like this, Li Yuan wouldn't have called him here himself.Du Qi referred to the past situation, Li Yuan most likely punished Wang Zongzhou severely, reprimanded Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others, just beat them.

This is Du Qi's judgment.

With this judgment, Du Qi became transparent and said seriously: "Your Majesty, let me tell you that although the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion were involved, they were actually bewitched by Wang Zongzhou. Wang Zongzhou and his ministers are already in an endless situation .No

Killing the minister, Wang Zongzhou will not give up. "

"So, it was Wang Zongzhou who bewitched the crown prince and King Qi."

"It just so happened that there were some conflicts between the minister, the crown prince, and the king of Qi. There was also the matter of the prince's settlement of the red wolf, and the matter of the personal guards of the Qi prince's mansion coming out to kill me after the red wolf failed."

"In the end, it's them who are affected."

Du Qi said seriously: "This matter, I think your Majesty only needs to give a small punishment and a big warning. After all, His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country. His prestige must be affected."

"Especially His Royal Highness King Qi is now the one who will lead the army to attack Liu Heita."

"Because of this incident, it will affect the state of His Highness King Qi when he went out to fight, so that's not good. Besides, His Majesty is the father of the emperor, so how can a father be angry with his son?"

Du Qi looked like he was always thinking about Li Yuan, and said, "So I think it only needs to be beaten."

Li Yuan felt mixed feelings in his heart, and felt that Du Qi was too sensible.

This kid is really good!

It's a pity that his son Li Jiancheng couldn't see the advantages of Du Qi at all, he only knew that he was all about putting Du Qi to death.

Li Yuan said with emotion: "Erlang, you boy, you are just too kind."

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, the boy has always said that I am not a good person, I am narrow-minded, and I will take revenge. The reason why I suggest this is actually very simple, and I don't want Your Majesty to be embarrassed. Your Majesty is a father, a parent, and the palms and the backs of the hands are the same. Meat, how can I deal with it? So, the matter is turned into a trivial matter."

Listening to Du Qi's words, Li Yuan felt that Du Qi was sensible, which made him feel a little guilty.

Du Qi, this boy, makes people worry-free.

It hurts so much at such a young age!

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Erlang, I have already ordered the disposal of Donggong and King Qi. Donggong and King Qi are closed.
