Chapter 525 Self-defeating i
The case of Wei Shuliang has already spread.
Hanwang Li Ke was ecstatic, but also a little frustrated.
Just because he is now under house arrest by Li Shimin in the Palace of the King of Han, he cannot witness Li Jing's embarrassment with his own eyes.
After all, in his opinion, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would definitely not let Li Jing go.
Faced with the joint attack of officials from dozens of aristocratic families, Li Jing is also doomed to be unable to escape unscathed.
Therefore, Li Ke ordered the steward of the palace to leave for the palace when Fang Qi was appointed early this morning.
Although he couldn't embarrass Li Jing face to face, he still needed to make the officials understand his attitude.
"Hey~
Wu Neishi, why are you here? "
In front of the Tai Chi gate.
The guard on duty looked at the butler of the palace who came in a hurry, and asked very puzzled.
In the past, when the King of Han was still in the palace, he was loved by Li Shimin, and the maids in the palace naturally respected him in every possible way.
And Li Ke's personal servant, who has followed Li Ke since childhood, has also been recognized by everyone with his smooth methods.
Therefore, even though Li Ke is demoted now, everyone in the palace is a little more lenient towards him.
"Ugh!"
Steward Wu sighed, and pretended to be bitter and said: "The King of Han is always concerned about the government, and he has a friendship with Wei Shuliang.
Hearing that he was murdered by an adulterer yesterday, he specifically asked his servants to come and inquire about the news. "
When the guard heard this, a look of understanding flashed across his face.
If it was in the past, he might still believe what Butler Wu said, and he really thought that Li Ke would care about others.
But since the strange stone fell from the sky, whoever believes in Li Ke's name as a virtuous king is a real fool.
It's just that he is just a bodyguard, so naturally he won't expose Butler Wu's lies in public.
"Since that's the case, I won't bother Wu Neishi anymore.
But today is different from the past, so don't go too far in asking Wu Neishi. "
"Don't worry, don't worry, someone will save you."
Wu Neishi smiled gently.
Immediately straightening his clothes, he quickly ran towards the Tai Chi Hall.
At this time, the sky was already bright, if it was later, he could only inquire about the news from other people.
But what Li Ke wanted was for the officials to understand his attitude.
Otherwise, why would he rush to the palace to investigate.
It's just that Li Ke is young after all, so it's inevitable that he can't think enough.
Such a hasty and bold blatant provocation seems to be somewhat gloating.
At the point where Li Jing escaped safely and Wei Zheng revealed the hidden forces, no matter how you look at it, there is some suspicion that there is no silver 300 taels here.
"Hey~
Doctor Cui? "
Wu Neishi had just passed through the corridor when he bumped into Cui Renshi and others who were coming from the upper and lower courts.
Seeing the indelible sadness and frustration between his brows and eyes, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
Could it be that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty jointly suppressed and still let Prince Li Jing escape safely?
If this is the case, does Han Wang Li Ke still have half a chance of winning?
"Um?!"
Master Cui Ren was full of resentment, when he heard Wu's servant's call, he immediately looked up in great dissatisfaction.
"Butler Wu?
How did you come here?
Could it be that the king of Han dared to leave the palace without purpose? "
"Ouch!
Doctor Cui misunderstood, how dare the king defy His Majesty's will. "
Wu Neishi heard the words and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty heard that Wei Shuliang was murdered by a traitor, and also heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was covering up the murderer to rob the criminal, so he ordered the servants to come to inquire about the news.
If His Highness the Crown Prince insists on going his own way, the King can also ask the imperial concubine to come forward to intercede. "
"Oh~"
Cui Renshi sneered abruptly, and took a step back involuntarily.
He really couldn't tell at the moment whether this Han Wang Li Ke was too impatient to invite buyers, or whether he was really related to this case!
"Your Majesty has handed over this case to the three divisions for joint trial, so the King of Han can rest assured.
It's just Steward Wu, I don't know why the King of Han is so eager? "
"what?!"
Steward Wu was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the officials with complicated expressions in a daze.
Based on his understanding of the case, he really didn't know why everyone was so vigilant.
"Doctor Cui doesn't know something, but the king and Wei Shuliang have a certain affinity.
Now that I heard that he was murdered by a traitor, I naturally want to seek justice for him! "
"Humph!
The old man doesn't know when the dog and the King of Han fell in love! "
At this moment, Wei Zheng, who had just arrived, snorted coldly with a sullen face.
Immediately, without waiting for Butler Wu to ask questions, he swung his sleeves vigorously and strode away.
And the people walking with him followed closely behind, all sighed with complicated eyes.
What Han Wang Li Ke did was really out of date.
……
"Prince!
You have always regarded yourself as resourceful and resourceful, how could you be tricked by villains now.
Could it be that the brain disease has relapsed? "
Ganlu Temple.
Li Shimin joked gloatingly.
Li Jing gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can the father play with children like this!
The boy is doing his best for the country and society of the Tang Dynasty, so that he offends the world's aristocratic families.
Now the officials of the aristocratic family are eager to get rid of the baby, but the emperor is still watching the play here.
If the queen mother knows...
hum!
I'm afraid the father won't be able to please him! "
"You dare to threaten me?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, but he didn't want to anger Empress Zhangsun.
I had no choice but to hold back my anger and waved my hands, and said sullenly: "My father is too lazy to argue with you.
Come on, tell me, do you have any guesses about the real culprit behind this scene? "
Li Jing frowned when he heard the words, took a few deep breaths and lowered his head in response: "My child has enemies all over the world, I really don't know who the real culprit is."
Although he was sure that the talented person behaved strangely, but he would not tell Li Shimin before there was proof.
After all, who really knows who is Li Shimin's confidant and who is his spy in the Manchu Dynasty.
If he can't hold back and reveals his hole cards rashly, no matter what the truth is, it will be extremely detrimental to him.
"In that case, you should retreat first."
Li Shimin stared at Li Jing carefully for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "This case can be handed over to the third division for joint trial, and you don't have to waste your mind too much.
It's just that you invited both Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, if there is any discrepancy between the two in the future, you will have to bear the blame! "
"Father, how can this be the case!"
Li Jing suddenly raised his head, staring at Li Shimin angrily.
Although he did intend to let the two of Li Xiaogong go out of the mountain, but without Li Shimin's secret consent, how could he dare to tease the two of them several times.
Now seeing that the general trend has been achieved, Li Shimin put the responsibility on him. This is clearly an act of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!
Even though he was sure that Li Xiaogong and Li Xiaogong had no objection now, he did not dare to be careless on this matter.
After all, people's hearts are often the most difficult to guess.
"Humph!
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not even take this responsibility!
There is no need to say much about this matter, it is settled here. "
Li Shimin curled his lips and scolded solemnly.
Li Jing gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, and replied unceremoniously: "Father, the child is just the prince, but you are the emperor.
If the child has no responsibility, you, the emperor..."
"Damn!
I see you are itchy again!
Just wait for me, I will let you know how amazing it is sooner or later! "
Li Shimin slapped the table hard and said angrily.
Seeing this, Li Jing shrank his neck, secretly hating that he was not in the Lizheng Hall at the moment.
If Empress Changsun was here, how could Li Shimin dare to oppress him like this.
"Humph!"
Seeing Li Jing admit defeat, Li Shimin smiled proudly: "Go.
Go on and do your errands, and remember not to cause trouble again.
What happened yesterday seems to have something to do with what Wei Zheng said, but nobles from aristocratic families should not relax their vigilance.
And if you look into it carefully, Ke'er and Gao Ming may also be suspected.
No matter what you, Xiaogong and the others find out, you must immediately report it to me, and you must not act without authorization.
Can you remember? "
"promise!
The child remembered it. "
Li Jing seemed to bow his head in despondency, but smiled complacently in his heart.
The inside story of this case is extremely serious, and he has long intended to get rid of it.
Now Li Shimin proposed on his own initiative, which happened to make him take the opportunity to escape.
It's just that he doesn't know how much trouble this incident will cause.
Perhaps only when the tide ebbs in the future will we understand the harm of today.
