Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 164 Who is behind the scenes?

Wouldn't it be too easy to plot against a prince of Tang Dynasty like this?

No one expected that a few days later, two news spread throughout Chang'an.

News [-]: The Turks sent gifts to me in the Tang Dynasty, intending to prevent His Royal Highness the King of Qin from entering the court, and even not allowing His Highness the King of Qin to lead the army, and said to the outside world that the Turks are afraid of the Great Tang, and the only one is the King of Qin!
News [-]: Goguryeo wants to kill King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, even at any cost!

If it was a future generation, Li Fangchen would feel that someone bought the news around Chang'an City to create momentum for him.But this is in the Tang Dynasty, that is Chiguoguo's flattery, without considering any consequences.

After hearing this, the people showed a little more admiration for King Qin, and even faintly felt that King Qin was more suitable for the position of prince.

As soon as such a rumor came out, Chang'an was completely in chaos. Even the students in the Guozijian believed that King Qin was more suitable to be the crown prince than the crown prince.

Some people even released some information about Li Fangchen's design of the Turks and Goguryeo. At the same time, it is famous that the cement roads in the entire Tang Dynasty were originally related to His Highness King Qin.

In the Palace of Mental Cultivation, Li Shimin was furious, "Control the rumors! Who is scheming behind the scenes!"

Even he once doubted whether this was Yu'er's own strategy, after all, he was the ultimate beneficiary.

Is that really the case?

In Kunning Palace, the eldest grandson Wugou summoned Li Fangchen and Li Chengqian together, and made them kneel aside without saying a word, when they figured it out and when they got up again.

Li Fangchen looked innocent, but Li Chengqian was somewhat complaining.

"Brother Prince, what do you think happened to us?"

"Don't blame you yet?"

"uh-huh?"

Li Fangchen originally thought that Li Chengqian would believe in him, but looking at it now, it was not always the case. The other party was obviously influenced by this kind of rumor.

Li Chengqian, who was belatedly aware, saw that Li Fangchen's expression was wrong, and immediately explained to himself, "Second brother, I didn't do it on purpose to be a brother, it's really alas!"

Li Fangchen was obviously a little disappointed. Sometimes the trust between people is destroyed, it's really too simple.

"Brother Prince, whether you believe it or not, I never thought of competing with you for the position, and that's all I've said."

After finishing speaking, Li Fangchen closed his eyes and meditated, making Li Chengqian beside him feel uneasy on his knees.

"Second brother."

I want to persuade, but what can I persuade?
If I really trusted him, how could the situation just now happen?

It was the time of spring and summer, and the weather was unavoidably unpredictable. It was hot a while ago, but not long after, there was thunder and rain in the sky. Li Fangchen and Li Chengqian knelt outside the hall, and no one dared to speak to them for more than an hour.

Seeing that the rain really fell on the two of them, Changsun Wugou sent a message to allow them to enter the palace.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Li Chengqian nodded honestly to admit his mistake, but Li Fangchen didn't answer at all, because until now, he still couldn't figure out who was trying to harm him like this.

"It's good to know you're wrong, come here soon!"

The eldest grandson Wugou was also distressed, and the main reason for calling them here was to fear that there would be a gap between them.

Fortunately, Yu'er can see her all day long, so she is not worried. On the contrary, Chengqian, the prince's subordinates may not make the prince's brothers humble.

Seeing Li Fangchen's unhappy expression from the corner of the eye, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yu'er, do you feel wronged?"

Li Fangchen shook his head, "I just don't understand, why do you have to be so responsible for such a simple matter?"

"Simple? Complicated?"

"Since my reputation is so good now, let's make a few mistakes, so that I won't be caught by others all the time."

"You mean self-defilement?" The eldest grandson Wugou frowned tightly. It's not that she hasn't considered this matter, but she just doesn't want Yu'er's reputation to be tarnished by such an affair.

"I don't agree!"

Li Shimin happened to enter the hall, and when he heard this sentence, he immediately refuted it, and at the same time said to Li Fangchen: "Then the Goguryeo envoy has recruited!"

"Recruited? Who is it?"

"Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, succeeds Yin Yuan as the Duke of Yun!"

Li Fangchen and Li Chengqian frowned at the same time, they had never had any contact with this person, this was the legacy of a veteran.

Yin Yuan's father, who can be regarded as the founder of the country, defeated Wen Sheng, the prefect of Jingzhao.

He once followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to attack Xue Ju, participated in the pacification of Xue Rengao, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and was named Yun Guogong.It was Yin Qiao, one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!
Li Shimin sighed: "This morning, Yin Yuan didn't show up. When I sent troops to his house, he was already dead."

"What! Dead?"

"Not only that, I originally planned to follow the vine and investigate the officialdom thoroughly, but the person in the dark had already prepared, so far there is no clue. But I have already issued an order to Dai Zhou, within seven days, arrest the person behind the scenes!"

"So, is it true that someone is plotting against me and my second brother?"

Li Chengqian had seven points of trust and three points of doubt in his heart before. After all, Li Fangchen was too good. If he came to compete with him for this position, he had no second choice except to lose.

He always thinks about the worst in everything, so Li Chengqian has always maintained a cold-eyed onlooker's attitude. He believes that this matter will always come to light. If it is really related to the second brother, it will be a fight at worst.

Li Fangchen didn't even look at the other party, but instead asked, "Father, why can't I defile myself?"

"Because you are the son of a dragon, you are the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince inherits the Li family's power, and you will inherit my mantle!"

A warlike person will die, and the second-generation monarch is best to have a stable temper, but Li Fangchen appeared and gave Li Shimin a second way.

The crown prince is on the left, and the king of Qin is on the right. Wouldn't it be better to jointly stabilize the foundation of the second generation of the Tang Dynasty?

The eldest grandson Wugou was also aware of this, and even agreed very much.

It's just that the pair of brothers now have different opinions.

"Father, can I refuse?"

I thought it was Li Chengqian who disagreed, but I didn't want Li Fangchen to propose it first.

Li Shimin's attitude changed slightly, he seemed a little dissatisfied, and asked, "Why?"

Li Fangchen sighed: "I just want to live on this land without restraint. When the Tang Dynasty needs me, I can put on armor and mount a horse. When the Tang Dynasty doesn't need me, I can be a rich and noble prince in peace."

Li Shimin was silent. The eldest grandson Wugou couldn't help but patted Li Fangchen's shoulder. Li Chengqian was the most excited. He used to see his second brother worrying about state affairs all day long, and when he was admired by all officials, he couldn't tell the awkwardness. If he is compared to him, his face will always be dishonored.

But right now, it seems that the second brother is completely lazy.

"Then why did you do it before?" Li Shimin couldn't figure it out again, after all, Li Fangchen had done too many things before.

"Of course, to make my life better in the future. Father, the stronger the Tang Dynasty, the more comfortable life will be for my subjects, won't they?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he scratched Li Fangchen's ears casually.

"I let you be carefree! Let you be comfortable and comfortable!" Li Fangchen hit the hall full of people.
