Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3887 Who is the Murderer
The rainwater poured down from the tile eaves on all sides of the patio, poured into the flower pool made of blue bricks with a splash, overflowed and flowed into the drainage channel along the groove, and the mercury splashed everywhere.

The face of the old eunuch finally changed a bit. He stared at Li Ji and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Ji snorted and said in dissatisfaction: "Did you stay in the palace for a long time, boasting that you are the most intelligent person in the world, everyone is under your control, and you are willing to fall into the trap? Originally, Fang Jun was forced to Helpless, perhaps he had to storm Xuanwu Gate to rescue the prince in desperation, which made Zhang Shigui, who was in a dilemma and hesitant, firm in his determination to defend the city. But now, Fang Jun only needs to tell Zhang Shigui about his assassination, how could Zhang Shigui not know how to make a choice? "

No one wants to be in the company of vipers and beasts.

The reason why Zhang Shigui is still hesitating instead of completely turning to the prince is because he is loyal to His Majesty Li Er in his heart, and he is willing to fight to the death to complete the tasks entrusted in His Majesty's will.

But death is death, and the method of death is quite different.

Blocking the Xuanwu Gate and cutting off the prince's retreat is acting according to the order. Although I am sorry for the prince, I am sorry for His Majesty Li Er.Similarly, abolishing the crown prince, establishing another crown prince, and ending the mutiny as soon as possible to preserve the vitality of the court as much as possible is what a loyal minister should do.

Who is Fang Jun?

There is no distinction between the government and the opposition, no one is against us, no one does not think that Fang Jun is the future pillar of the empire, his feats and abilities are not only unmatched among the younger generation, even if you count the honorable officials of Zhenguan, how many people can be worthy of it? match?

For such an outstanding person in the world who suddenly kills and achieves his goal by means of assassination, how would such an upright person like Zhang Shigui think?
Maybe because of this, it will be completely pushed to the side of the prince...

But the old eunuch thought more, he sent the man in black to urge Zhang Shigui to act as soon as possible, but he refused, and the man in black took his own order to wait for the opportunity to fight...

With the superposition of the two phases, it is conceivable that Zhang Shigui must be extremely inclined to seek refuge with the prince.

What about the edict?
It's just a will, after all, it's not His Majesty Li Er's golden words. For Zhang Shigui, a minister with unparalleled merit and status, the binding force is extremely weak.Once he feels that following the will will have extremely serious consequences, it may be a matter of a second to change course.

After pondering for a long time, the old eunuch said slowly: "If so, you might as well tell the truth."

Li Ji felt more and more that the old eunuch was being foolish, so he asked, "Do you want to put your majesty in a situation of 'father and son killing each other'? 'A tiger's poison does not eat its son'. If you make this matter public, let the outside world know and depose him." The crown prince is His Majesty's intention, what kind of infamy will Your Majesty bear?"

In the past few years, the prince seems to have completely changed himself. He handles things fairly, calmly, and does not change his benevolent and honest nature, and is deeply loved by his subjects.Once the Guanlongmen clan's mutiny succeeds, they will face endless abuse from the people of the world. In the same way, even if His Majesty Li Er is open and easy to store, and with such methods of extermination, he will not leave the prince with a way out. Do you think How will people in the world evaluate it?
How will the historian write this history?

It is absolutely intolerable to use the posthumous name of an emperor as a price...

The old eunuch was silent again.

Li Ji looked at him coldly, and said slowly: "From now on, you don't want to interfere in this matter, I will arrange everything."

The old eunuch drooped his eyelids and remained silent, his body seemed to be getting more and more stooped.

Li Ji ignored him, turned around and walked towards the front hall, shaking off the rainwater on the umbrella by the way, walking briskly...

The old eunuch raised his eyelids and stared at Li Ji's tall and thin back, then turned around silently and walked into the main hall, ignoring the coffin parked in the hall, and walked into the side hall on one side.

*****
Longevity Square.

Yuwen Shiji entered the shop facing the street under a cloud of wind and rain, took off his coir raincoat and handed it to the servants behind him. Many civil servants and generals in the hall saluted one by one, and several of them offered condolences. Yuwen Shiji responded with a smile, and then went straight in. side hall.

In the side hall, Changsun Wuji was putting a secret letter on the desk. When he saw Yuwen Shiji coming, he saw that although his face was pale, he was still in good spirits, so he nodded and said, "You also know?"

Yuwen Shiji nodded, stepped forward and sat opposite the desk, glanced at the secret letter, and sighed: "Fang Jun was assassinated, the situation is getting more and more confusing, but I don't know who did it?"

He was recuperating in the mansion, and he was very surprised when he first heard about it.

Especially when he learned that the assassin was Xue Wanche's personal soldier who had been with him for many years, it made him feel that this matter was extraordinary, not just an ordinary assassination, he hurried to Yanshoufang regardless of his illness Discuss countermeasures with Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "They are all dead men. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and they took the poison immediately without any hesitation. Now that there is no proof of death, it is impossible to find out who is behind the scenes."

The old servant brought fragrant tea, Changsun Wuji ordered it to be placed on the desk, then waved him away, took the pot with his own hands, and poured tea for Yuwen Shi and others.

Yu Wenshi nodded in thanks, holding a teacup in his hand, frowned and said, "The biggest suspect in this matter is Li Ji... But from what I understand, Li Ji is a man of integrity and rarely plays tricks. Besides, we are family friends with the Fang family, and the two families have a good relationship with each other, maybe each of them is the master of the battle, but it is unlikely to use such means to deal with Fang Jun."

Having been officials in the same dynasty for many years, they have already understood each other's behavior styles quite well. To put it bluntly, Li Ji is a bit lofty and arrogant.

It can't be said to be high-spirited, but it also has a bottom line.

More importantly, with Xue Wanche's status in the court, Li Ji has neither the ability nor the need to place dead men by his side...

"Hey!"

Changsun Wuji laughed angrily, knocked on the table with his fingers, and said in dissatisfaction, "Why be so obscene? Just say you doubt me!"

Yuwen Shiji raised his eyebrows, bowed his head and drank tea, which was a tacit consent.

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "I do have this motive and this ability... But you have overlooked one point. If I had made such an arrangement earlier, why did I wait until today? Regardless of success or failure, I have already dealt with that guy. Let's do it."

Yuwen Shiji thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

Although he doesn't trust Changsun Wuji's character much, Yuwen Shiji doesn't feel like Changsun Wuji's style.Since the incident, the Guanlong army has repeatedly suffered setbacks and suffered heavy losses. Among them, the Right Tunwei has caused the most damage. Coupled with the grievances and grievances between Fang Jun and the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson Wuji must retaliate. It is true that Fang Junzhi was assassinated. How could he wait until today?
Even putting aside those grievances and grievances, Fang Jun sits at the Xuanwu Gate and makes the Guanlongmen clan helpless, how can Fang Jun be allowed to surprise the Guanlong army from time to time?
However, neither is it like Li Jizhi's style, nor is it written by Changsun Wuji, who can place dead men beside Xue Wanche, who is so useless, and order the dead men to assassinate Fang Jun?

Changsun Wuji picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then suddenly asked: "If His Majesty really leaves a will, who do you think will be appointed to carry out the will?"

Yuwen Shiji was taken aback, and wondered: "Isn't it Li Ji?"

His Majesty Li Er died in the army. It is only natural for Li Ji to take over the entire army as the deputy commander. At the same time, it is only logical to accept his majesty's dying order to execute the will.Regardless of the situation and reason, it should be so. Counting the generals and schools at that time, who is qualified to surpass Li Ji and be ordered to execute the will?
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, glanced at the wind and rain outside the window, and said, "Didn't you forget Wang Shoushi?"

Suddenly hearing this name, Yuwen Shiji was startled: "I really forgot about this person!"

In the ninth year of Wude, His Majesty Li Er led the generals of Tiance Mansion to set up ambush under the Xuanwu Gate, and falsely passed on the order of Emperor Gaozu to lead Prince Jian Jian and Qi Wang Yuanji into the palace, and then captured and killed them in one fell swoop, and then fought bloody battles. With the help of the clan, he killed the henchmen of the prince Jiancheng, and instead usurped and ascended the throne as emperor.

Everyone in the world knows that the "Xuanwu Gate Change" was caused by the generals of the Tiance Mansion not wanting to sit still and persuading His Majesty Li Er to fight with one's back. A message from...

It is said that Emperor Gaozu had agreed to the prince's remonstrance to kill the King of Qin and raz the palace of the King of Qin at that time.

And the one who spread this news was Wang Shoushi, the most trusted eunuch beside Emperor Gaozu at that time...

　I have never supported the plan. The national football team depends on our own people, and we accept the outcome with confidence. What if we plan to win the World Cup with eleven Messis?Even joy isn't so pure anymore...
