bastard seizes tang

Chapter 299
Yang Fei is sensible, but hides a delicate heart under her seemingly indifferent appearance. Although she is not ostentatious, her scheming in the city is no less than anyone else.

She was born in the royal family of the Sui Dynasty since she was a child, and now she lives in the harem of the Tang Dynasty as a noble concubine. She knows the rules between the court and the harem very well.

The harem has the rules of the harem, and the outer court has the rules of the outer court. She is as smart as Concubine Yang, and she will not exceed half a point.

The affairs of the foreign court, the foreign court, the assassination of Li Ke, was originally caused by court disputes, and the matter was in the court, Concubine Yang would never intervene in the open, not only broke the rules, but also annoyed Li Shimin and Empress Changsun for no reason, making them Mother and son are in a difficult situation.

But Concubine Yang herself did not act, it does not mean that the matter is over, on the contrary, early the next morning, Concubine Yang ordered Ping'er to take Li Yin out of the palace to study in Cen's mansion, and explained the matter to Cen Wenwen.

"Sir, this maidservant came here at the order of Empress Feng, and sent her a handwritten letter." Ping'er took Li Yin to the study and settled him down, then called out Cen Wenwen alone, and whispered to Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen is Li Ke's teacher, Li Ke's absolute confidant and think tank, and Concubine Yang is Li Ke's biological mother and close relative of Li Ke. This time was an exception, Cen Wenwen heard Ping'er's words, and immediately knew that this matter was no small matter.

Cen Wenwen looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he said to Ping'er: "Where is the letter from the imperial concubine?"

Ping'er carefully opened the interlayer of her sleeve, took out a letter from the interlayer, and said to Cen Wenwen: "Here is the handwritten letter of your mother, please read it, sir."

Cen Wenwen took the letter from Ping'er, opened it, and found that it was Yang Fei's handwriting, and then read it carefully.

Concubine Yang wrote in the letter about Li Ke's assassination and the news Ping'er got in the East Palace.

Cen Wenwen read the letter, then burned it with fire to make sure that there was not even half of the writing left. After a while, he asked Ping'er: "Is this true?"

Ping'er replied: "For the time being, I don't know whether the assassination of His Highness was indeed the order of the crown prince, but the crown prince did say so, and the empress was furious when she heard about it."

Hearing this, Cen Wenwen nodded slowly.

Concubine Yang wanted Ping'er to personally hand over this letter to Cen Wenwen. Cen Wenwen naturally knew why.

Cen Wen himself was Li Ke's teacher and Li Ke's mastermind. Although Li Ke was not in Chang'an, Cen Wenwen did not relax at all. Whether it mattered or not, Cen Wenwen would not tell Li Chengqian to stay out of it safely.

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty can rest assured about this matter. Cen is a teacher and a minister, so he should make a good plan for His Highness. Even if His Highness's assassination has nothing to do with the Crown Prince, I will not miss this good opportunity."

Cen Wenwen's reaction was much more relaxed than Concubine Yang's, and he seemed not very surprised by what the prince said after drinking, but Ping'er was a little strange.

Ping'er has followed Concubine Yang in the palace for many years, and has always been leaning on her arm, she can see a little bit, she is much smarter than ordinary court ladies, Ping'er thought about Cen Wenwen's reaction after meeting Cen Wenwen today, and suddenly thought of What, so he asked: "Listen to the words of the master, but the master knows the inside story."

Cen Wenwen smiled and replied: "Young lady is really smart. Last night, I received a message from Luzhou."

Li Ke was assassinated and was recovering from his wounds in Luzhou. The message from Luzhou naturally meant what Li Ke meant. Ping'er asked, "But is there a message from Your Highness?"

Cen Wenwen said: "That's right, His Highness's message was only delivered to Chang'an last night. The gate of the imperial palace has been closed, so it could not reach the empress's ears."

Ping'er then asked: "What did His Highness say?"

Ping'er has followed Concubine Yang for more than ten years, and watched Li Ke grow up, so she can be trusted. Cen Wenwen wanted to tell Concubine Yang through Ping'er's mouth, and he would not hide it.

Cen Wenwen replied: "The assassination of His Highness was not done by the assassins in Beijing, but was planned by His Highness himself. It was not only to deter the young people in Beijing and tell them to calm down, but also for the purpose of alienating each other and making all parties in Beijing and China suspicious of each other."

Li Ke was assassinated, although there is no clear evidence to identify who the assassin was, but just looking at the short crossbow that the imperial army had, one can tell that the assassin must be from Chang'an, and there are not a few people in Chang'an who are staring at the emperor. Today, Li Ke was assassinated Ke, who knows who will be next?Li Ke's assassination in Luzhou made Chang'an thousands of miles away even unstable.

After hearing Cen Wenwen's words, Ping'er felt a lot more relaxed. Since Li Ke's assassination was planned by Li Ke himself, Li Ke's situation is not as dire as they feared.

Ping'er said: "Even so, it has made the empress worry so much for no reason. After I return to the palace, I will tell the empress about it."

Cen Wenwen said: "It's all right to tell the empress about this matter, but the empress should not slack off because of this, so that people can see the clues, otherwise it will be a pity for the situation that His Highness has worked so hard to do."

Ping'er replied: "Don't worry sir, the servant girl knows."

------------

Li Ke and Cen Wenwen have been mentors and apprentices for many years, and they have a tacit understanding. When Li Ke brings a letter to Chang'an, he doesn't even have to worry about it. Already arrived in Yangzhou.

Three miles outside Yangzhou City, King Li Ke and his retainers have been waiting in the middle of the official road for a long time.

"The ministers and other guards are unfavorable, and His Highness has been in danger. Please punish him." Li Ke came back from Luzhou with a shoulder injury. There were still thirty steps away from the waiting crowd. Everyone in Yangzhou City had already knelt down, and they all knelt together. Say goodbye.

Li Ke looked at the people kneeling in front of him, and paused for a moment, then got off his horse, walked up to the people, and said loudly: "This king is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, and trusts the rebellious party so that he can take advantage of it." It was this king who ordered Xuan Ce to command the troops, and it was this king who dispatched the guards of the palace. Xuyi was besieged, and the king bought the siege to break through. It was this king who first reported to Yangzhou. This matter is ultimately my fault. When you become the royal father and report your own mistakes, what are you waiting for?"

Li Ke's captivity, if it was decided according to the law, these retainers of the Chu Palace would naturally be to blame, but Li Ke was not a man of righteousness and had no intention of being harsh.

What's more, they are only under the command of Prince Li Kechu's mansion, if they are seriously punished, how can they afford it.

Li Ke believes in the people under the command of the King of Chu, and also believes that their literary talents and military strategies are all outstanding at the moment. When the crime falls on them, their official career will be considered over.

Therefore, whether Li Ke wants to keep them out of his own heart or selfishly, his best way is to take all the blame and take all the blame on himself, because Li Ke at least kept Huainan, and Li Shimin will never What will happen to Li Ke because of this matter.

Li Ke's words took all the blame for this matter, how could they not know Li Ke's painstaking efforts to protect them, especially Xi Junmai, who was born in the army, had the most straightforward temperament, unconsciously, The eye sockets are quietly moist.

Xi Junmai walked up to Li Ke, held the ceremony in the army, and bowed to Li Ke: "From now on, Xi Junmai's life belongs to His Highness, and he will never leave His Highness even half a step from now on."
