Chapter 273 My Head is About to Explode
Liang County.
Just two days after resting, Li Cunxi received three letters in succession.
The three letters came from Li Dan, Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi respectively.
Li Dan wrote the letter to thank Li Cunxi, and he himself successfully escaped a purge.
The letters from Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi basically talked about the current situation in the court. From the previous competition for favor among the descendants of the Li family to the current seizure of power by the Wu family, it can be seen that the changes in the court are very strange, and the source may actually be that someone in the Wu family intends to frame Li Dan.
The current political situation has changed to such an extent that it is basically completely disconnected from the original work.
According to Zhao Hai's narration, Prince Li Dan requested Wu Zetian to be exiled to Fangzhou at the court meeting, and at this moment he had already set out for Fangzhou with the Zuowei army.
After reading the three letters, Li Cunxi felt a lot of emotion, but he also thought of a woman who was ignored by everyone outside the chess game, the female assassin.
"Where is the woman you caught on the outskirts of Liang County?" Li Cunxi asked, looking up.
"Li Shaoyin, this thief committed suicide by taking poison when we first arrived in Luoyang. The situation was very strange. We didn't even find the location of the poison, but the woman died suddenly."
Zhao Hai recalled the scene at that time and was speechless.
It was obvious that in order to prevent the woman from committing suicide, the internal security guards stripped her naked and checked her from head to toe carefully, only feeling relieved after confirming that there was no poison.
Even the teeth in the woman's mouth were checked to confirm that there was no poison.
But the woman committed suicide by taking poison as soon as she arrived in Luoyang, which was also a strange thing.
Di Renjie originally wanted to check whether there was any problem, but he gave up because the body was buried directly.
The current situation in Luoyang is undercurrents, and officials in the court are all in danger. Senior officials are afraid that their disciples will be investigated by Li Cunxi, and ordinary officials in the capital are afraid that they will be implicated by accident.
Countless eyes were secretly and silently focused on Li Cunxi's southern tour team.
However, Li Cunxi was not very concerned about this situation which he had expected long ago. The southern tour was an agreement between him and Wu Zetian and was essentially an exchange.
Li Cunxi used revenge to gain Wu Zetian's favor, while Wu Zetian used official position to gain Li Cunxi's loyalty. In short, the influence of the letter written by Princess Taiping Li Lingyue before her death is still expanding.
"It's a pity that we were unable to find out who was passing the message to the people through this woman."
Li Cunxi leaned back and finally looked at Zhao Hai in front of him seriously.
"I have a question for you. Before you became an inner guard, whose student were you?"
Zhao Hai didn't understand, so he replied, "I was selected from among the beggars by Huang Shengyan, the leader of the pavilion. I am not a disciple or former official of any family."
"How many years have you been in the Internal Guard? You've been promoted to cabinet leader?"
"In reply to Li Shaoyin, these are all confidential matters within the inner guards, and I dare not tell you, my Lord."
Li Cunxi looked at Zhao Hai with a smile, waved his hand at Zhao Hai, and signaled Zhao Hai to retreat.
Zhao Hai bowed and left politely, and finally helped Li Cunxi close the door.
Wu Yanhao, who had been watching for a long time, picked up the letter that Li Cunxi had placed on the table and began to read it.
Wu Yanhao had already developed the good habit of reading Li Cunxi's personal letters a long time ago, and now reading the letters was just a matter of reaching out.
After reading the letter at a glance, Wu Yanhao's face became solemn.
"I'm afraid the mastermind behind this is a little too skilled."
"You see it too?"
"It's a bit too obvious."
"The young generation of the Lawu family has gone down the drain, and now you have been completely classified as a member of my, Li Cunxi's party. Are you surprised or not?"
"I have a bit of a headache." Wu Yanhao sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
The tea had gone cold and tasted a bit bitter.
However, no matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as Wu Yanhao's current situation.
"It was only after we arrived in Liang County ten days ago that we discovered Chen Bo's story. Before that, we couldn't even believe that Chen Bo was such a person."
"Unfortunately, on the night Zhao Hai was delivering the letter, he was stopped by a killer. After the killer was caught, it was clearly checked that he had no poison hidden. However, he committed suicide by taking poison just after entering Luoyang."
"When all the clues were indirectly pointing to Prince Xiang, the appearance of the female assassin was undoubtedly an attempt to cover up the truth, which in turn implicated someone from our Wu family."
"In the end, His Majesty was furious and appointed my uncles to official positions, so that they could go to the court together to stir up trouble. This was clearly a premeditated plot."
"The most important thing is that after the female assassin's body was buried, Di Guolao wanted to conduct an autopsy, but the reason why it was never concluded was that the body had already been buried."
Wu Yanhao kept shaking his head as he spoke.
If all these things are not connected together, it is impossible to imagine how many doubts are hidden behind this whole thing.
If we must investigate now, we can only find the two people who have benefited the most from this matter to find out the situation.
One of them is Prince Li Dan, who fled to Fangzhou. This man actually escaped unscathed after such a big incident and even asked to be exiled to Fangzhou.
Fangzhou knows everything, so there is no need to say more.
Another person who benefited the most was Crown Prince Li Xian.
Two of the largest Li clan factions in the dynasty have collapsed, leaving only Crown Prince Li Xian in the lead.
The Wu family will surely fight to the death. Wu Sansi and Wu Youning are destined to fight with Wu Chengsi and Wu Yizong until a river of blood flows.
Crown Prince Li Xian could just sit back and watch, waiting for the Wu family to decide the winner.
"Oh, my head is going to explode."
Wu Yanhao held his head and struggled on the chair.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore. The person behind this is most likely between Li Xian and Li Dan."
Li Cunxi knocked on the table, and his brows, which had been furrowed for a long time, relaxed a little.
"If I'm right, my cousin, the Prince of Xiang, is sacrificing the pawn to save the king."
"What do you mean by sacrificing the pawn to save the king?"
"Discard Chen Bo, save himself, throw out a female assassin, drag the Wu family into the water, and protect the prince."
Wu Yanhao was silent for a long time, and then he performed Ge You's lying posture while sitting on the bed.
"Forget it, forget it, let them do whatever they want. Anyway, I will be part of your party from now on."
"My father must be secretly happy. At least I have a place to go. My eldest brother will take over his position sooner or later. As for me, if I can make a name for myself by following you, that's good. If not, I will become an ordinary person sooner or later."
Wu Yanhao sighed softly and struggled frantically on the bed.
"Well, just be happy. How can the result be so bad? If I follow you, can you become an ordinary citizen?"
Li Cunxi was also quite helpless. He had a thousand words to complain about Wu Zetian in his heart, but he just couldn't say them out loud.
Ever since the middle generation of the Wu family joined the game collectively, his southern tour team has become a party of its own.
Not only Wu Yanhao was involved in the disaster, but also two unlucky guys, Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui.
