Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 929 Gossip

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dignified, Li Yuanji didn't dare to breathe, the last time his father was so angry was the defeat in Hedong in the second year of Wude. At the critical moment, the Xia County rebellion broke out again.

As a result of my father's rage that time... the entire Xia county was slaughtered.

Princess Pingyang's expression became more and more relaxed, and she said with a smile: "The great victory in Jingzhou, beheading tens of thousands, such a great achievement...I heard that my father intends to make Huairen heir king after recovering the three states?"

Before Li Yuan could speak, Princess Pingyang continued: "Fortunately, father didn't promise the prince that day, otherwise it would be really..."

A prince can't be canonized unless he is a prince. If that's the case, it's hard to tell... Li Yuan glared at his daughter angrily, "Now it seems that he can't even be canonized as an heir king."

While talking, Li Yuan pondered in his heart, who is spreading such rumors... First of all, it must be related to seizing the heir, and it has already been related to the blood of the royal family. All gaps.

But who is it... It is difficult for Li Yuan to make a judgment. On the bright side, if Li Shan is recalled to the capital and left idle like King Zhao Jun, Erlang will benefit.

If Erlang went to battle again, regained the three states, and had the military power in his hands... he would have to choose Yi Chu.

Li Yuan thought about it carefully, it seems that Erlang didn't have such thoughts these days, he acted in such a way that the entire Tiance Mansion was relatively calm, he should be clear in his heart that the two prime ministers had to be instructed by himself Be good, he doesn't need to be so impatient.

Could it be Donggong?
If it is the prince, then there are some schemes, to test, or to frame King Qin?
Li Yuan also thinks it is unlikely, the prince has always been steady and rarely takes risks, and the Tiantai Mountain incident happened only half a year ago... If it is self-defeating and he really replaces Huairen with Erlang, the prince will have no chance at all.

While hesitating, Li Yuan glanced at the laid-back Princess Pingyang, and suddenly realized: "Pingyang, come and listen before you talk about it!"

According to Sanhu's words just now, such rumors have spread all over Chang'an. It is impossible for the daughter to hear about it just now, but she must have gained something by suddenly entering the palace today.

Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Father should know, who in the world hates Huairen the most?"

Before Li Yuan could open his mouth, Li Yuanji blurted out, "Of course it is Yugushe, the son of Jieli Khan, who was captured alive twice..."

"Dubu Khan!" Li Yuan interrupted decisively: "Yu Gushe is dead. Ashina Sheer fought Huairen many times and was defeated several times. In the battle of Yunzhou, Huairen personally captured him. Those who were killed in the first battle in Zhouzhou threw away their helmets and armor, and fled northward in embarrassment."

"That's right." Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "Sichang found out that the rumors spread from Hu merchants in the eastern and western cities."

Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, it wasn't Dalang, it wasn't Erlang, it's okay, it's okay, the next moment Li Yuan slapped the armrest of the soft couch hard, "She'er, it's just child's play to try to alienate you!"

Li Yuanji was very disappointed, he was actually a Turkic, so he was so happy!
"However, such rumors will spread throughout Chang'an within five days." Princess Pingyang's expression changed, and she said coldly, "Someone must be fueling the flames!"

As long as it's not the boss's envoy, Li Yuan relaxed on the soft couch, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, there must be someone who contributes to the flames...but I haven't heard that Huairen has any enemies."

This sentence refers to the battle of Tiantai Mountain. Not only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and his son, but also a large number of court officials were able to survive in Chang'an. so-so.

That fellow's enemy...how could there be no one!

Apart from other things, Pei Shiju, who lost his son in his later years, hated him to the bone...Princess Pingyang complained in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Please ask father to investigate clearly."

Li Yuan murmured, but there was nothing he could do... Turkic rifts and rumors spread everywhere, and it was really difficult to find someone who contributed to the flames in the process.

Princess Pingyang has nothing to do. She entered the palace this time mainly to see her father's attitude towards Li Shan. If her attitude is not firm, she might as well let Li Shan go back to Beijing, so as not to cause any trouble later.

Fortunately, my father still trusted Huairen. Princess Pingyang still felt a little uneasy after thinking about it, "Father, there are rumors and gossips in Chang'an now, and Huairen can't be at ease. It's better to call him back to Beijing and replace him with Su Dingfang lead."

Calling Li Shan back to the court, but ordering Li Shan's direct descendant Su Dingfang to succeed him as the coach, this can show that Li Yuan has no suspicion of Li Shan.

"Not so much." Li Yuan waved his hand, thought for a while and said, "Give Huairen five horses and five brocade robes."

Princess Pingyang was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.

Two hours later, in Zhongshu Province, Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe, sent the written edict to Yang Gongren's case, chatted casually and turned to leave. Yang Gongren murmured a few words behind him...it should be just a rumor Otherwise, the matter of seizing the heirloom will cause trouble again.

Cui Xin, who was full of worries, let the yamen go home. As soon as he entered the backyard, he was dragged into the house by his wife. After hearing a few words with a wry smile, he said, "You heard that too?"

"Hmm." Zhang asked in a low voice, "Really?"

"Fake." Cui Xin said bitterly: "The sage just issued an edict and bestowed Huairen with a brocade robe on a steed horse, to show that there is no doubt about it."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "That's not what I asked."

"Huh?" Cui Xin was also dumbfounded, aren't you worried that the monarch and ministers will be suspicious?

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet?" Zhang said in a mysterious low voice, "There are rumors that Huairen is the prince."

The corner of Cui Xin's mouth twitched, "It's fake."

"fake?"

Mrs. Zhang's expression is weird, he seems a little suspicious, and he seems a little excited... Uh, if Li Shan is here, he has a sharp evaluation of this expression, which is called gossip!

"But it fits very well." The Zhang family, who still doesn't know Li Shan's life experience, said with relish: "It is said that he was born in Lingnan, but Demou and Zhigui have mentioned it. It seems that Huairen is not familiar with Lingnan. The children of the Feng family from Lingnan once said that they have never heard the name of Li Huairen from Lingnan."

"At that time Huairen was still young."

"In the four years of Wude, there was such a famous sentence as 'I don't know who will cut the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors'. Could it be that there is no word left in Lingnan for so many years?" Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! "

Cui Xin was speechless, and could only repeat again with a dark face and emphatic tone, "Definitely not the prince!"

"Being engaged at the beginning of last year, the column of father and grandfather in the marriage certificate is empty, you say it's okay..." Mrs. Zhang snorted, "Could it be possible that you know the inside story?"

"Uh, I do know the inside story..."

"Then who is his biological father and ancestors?"

"This..." Cui Xinxin rubbed his brows vigorously, his face twisted into a twisted face, "but it's really not the prince, nor the son of the clan."
