Tang Dynasty: Nine-year-old County Grandpa

After half a ring, inside the summit hall.

Li Yuan, who was pouring himself a drink, was already a little drunk.

At this time, Chu Jie spoke.

"Your Majesty, isn't this right?"

Chu Jie said.

"What's wrong?" asked

Li Yuan drunkenly.

"Since Your Majesty said that Li Yuanba was punished by God, then this person who avenged him should not come to you, or even Li Shentong.

"But he is here, Li Shentong is the last person Li Yuanba has seen before his death, and he has a good relationship with Li Yuanba, and he especially listens to Your Majesty's words." "

Now that he has been murdered, and your majesty is involved, it is obvious that he has come to take revenge. "

Why take revenge? Of course

, it's because you did it, isn't it?" "Since he raised his hammer and scolded the heavens and said that he would kill you sooner or later, this is obviously provoking Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty think about striking first?"

"Li Yuanba's weakness is the liver, which can't be touched by alcohol, and a little toxin can kill him."

Before the incident, Li Shentong went to him to drink on a rainy night. "

Doesn't Your Majesty himself think it's strange?" Chu

Jie asked repeatedly.

"Hmph, I said, I have this idea, it is taboo against him, and it is taboo against him as always.

"But that night, Li Shimin came to me to intercede, saying that he didn't want the cannibalism of father and son to happen in our family. "

I was also moved, where did I think that the kid would die that night?"

"This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"In addition, Li Shimin's son I know him, he doesn't cherish this fourth brother very much, but he just hopes that the Li family can unite and contribute."

"His own brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji, didn't he say kill him?"

Li Yuan shouted coldly.

"If Your Majesty wants to use such sensitive words to make Wei Chen retreat, it is not necessary.

"Since Your Majesty wants to say so much, Weichen will continue to investigate. "

I took my leave.

Chu Jie sighed and left.

"Hmph, everyone thinks it's disgusting that I killed him.

"I haven't given such an order!" Behind

him, Li Yuan's roar came.

"My lord?"

Zhan Zhao outside the door saw Chu Jie come out with an unhappy look on his face, so he asked tentatively.

"Go to the Heart Cultivation Palace!" Chu

Jie ignored it, gave an order and got into the carriage.

"Understood!"

Zhan Zhao replied, riding his horse towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When they came to the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Shimin had already walked out by himself.

"How?" asked

Li Shimin with his head held high.

"I didn't tell much of the truth, and I was very resistant to mentioning Li Yuanba.

"Wechen didn't want to dig up any secrets this time, he just wanted to catch the murderer.

"In the final analysis, the specific thing is just a family affair of the royal family before the Tang Dynasty.

Chu Jie looked at Li Shimin's face and said.

"Well, what are you going to do next?" Li

Shimin's majestic eyes flashed with a trace of fluctuation, and he immediately asked.

"Go to the scene and find out whether Li Yuanba was killed on the spot or escaped.

Chu Jie said.

"What, do you think that the fourth brother is not dead, but has come back to take revenge?"

asked Li Shimin.

"It may not be him, but it may be that some descendant has come back to take revenge. "

After all, when Weichen heard that the Dali Temple's work sewed up General Li Shentong's face, he found that his face was full of horror.

"And His Majesty the Emperor also said that that person is Li Yuanba's appearance.

"So it's very likely that it's his descendants, and they're all panicked at night, so they're mistaken.

"Of course, it is not excluded that someone is Yi Rong who is using Li Yuanba's name to make trouble.

Chu Jie said: "So the top priority now is to find out whether Li Yuanba is dead or not." "

Do you think it's more likely to be a descendant, or is it more likely that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

asked Li Shimin with a cold face.

Weichen believes that it must be someone related, otherwise he would not be able to get Li Yuanba's weapon. "

And Weichen thinks it's strange......"

Chu Jie said.

"What's strange?" Li

Shimin's eyes froze.

"Why didn't anyone care about the whereabouts of Li Yuanba's twin hammers at the beginning?"

asked Chu Jie.

"Concern? He himself, my father and the emperor don't care, he regards him as an ominous person, let alone a pair of blood-stained hammers?"

"When the collapsed house was excavated, no one really saw the fourth brother's double hammers. "

My father and queen didn't want to pay attention to it, but just ordered the soldiers to bring the soil and bury him and his five subordinates directly.

"Could it be that he ran away with it?" Li

Shimin guessed.

"No, if he escapes, the first thing he should do is to come to the door, not wait until more than ten years later. "

Wei Chen still wants to know, what happened to those soldiers led by Li Yuanba, where are they from?"

Chu Jie asked again.

"Are you looking for them?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his expression strange.

"Yes, Wechen wanted to find out what they knew that night.

Chu Jie replied.

"No need to look for it, in the third year after the incident, when they followed Li Shentong to conquer Liang Shidu, they were ambushed by the Turks. The

whole army was annihilated, and Li Shentong escaped alone with eight arrows in his body.

Li Shimin frowned and said.

"Eh, I understand......"

Chu Jie was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of regret.

At the beginning, the Turks were considered allies of the Li family, but Liang Shidu was also an agent of the Turks.

The Li family wanted to move the Liang Shidu, of course, there was a conflict with the Turks, and finally the Turks also entered the pass, but fortunately Li Yuan sent a fierce man to pretend to talk and assassinate the Turkic Khan at that time with poison, and finally the new successor Jieli Khan made an alliance with Li Yuan.

Later, the conflict between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty was the more famous Weishui Alliance.

The relationship between the Li family and the Turks before was also a sensitive issue in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin naturally avoided it.

"What are you going to do next?" asked

Li Shimin again.

"Wechen is going to Taiyuan.

Chu Jie arched his hand and said.

"You want to leave Chang'an?"

Li Shimin frowned.

"If you don't go to the scene, you can't investigate.

"Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor directly ordered someone to bury the scene with a mound of soil at that time, so the traces of the scene are okay.

"You should be able to find a lot of clues.

Chu Jie bowed down and bowed.

"That'...... Go ahead, and I will send three hundred men to escort you. "

You...... Go early and return early, and stay safe.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"Then, Weichen went back to pack his bags.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to send more people in the near future to ensure the safety of the palace."

Chu Jie exhorted with a concerned look on his face, and then left.

"Hey, fourth brother, I never thought that after so many years, you would still be ghostly.

After Chu Jie left, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and sighed meaningfully and returned to his palace.
