Chapter 50: Inside Chang'an City (5)

After the eunuchs covered their mouths and took them out, Li Jiancheng threw the sword to the chief supervisor, "I will go and report the deceased to the saint, please send someone to the Qin Palace to find out."

After the chief manager retreated silently, Li Jiancheng looked around, laughed a few times again, then pretended to be sad, and went out to run towards Tai Chi Palace.

Before he could reach the gate of the East Palace, an eunuch ran into the gate. Seeing Li Jiancheng who was about to go out, he fluttered and fell to his knees, "Report to the prince, someone came to report the message just now, saying that His Highness of the King of Qin rode a horse in the palace and killed Changsun Jianmen in front of Xuanwu Gate."

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Jiancheng knew that Li Shimin killed Changsun Anye. He pondered for a while and said, "Get back."

Li Jiancheng stood there and imagined the process of Li Shimin killing Changsun Anye, "Well... From the time he discovered that he was poisoned to riding a horse to the front of Xuanwu Gate, there should be still energy. But... this should be the last person he killed in his life.

Hahaha, didn’t everyone praise you for your great military achievements? Now you even killed your princess’ brother, hahaha..."

Li Jiancheng, who felt relieved, continued to play the role of a sad brother and went to Li Yuan to report the news.

Before Li Yuan entered Chang'an, he had only five sons and five daughters, and had no children for many years. However, when he entered Chang'an and became the emperor, Li Yuan, who was very timid in front of Yang Guang, finally showed his manly nature.

If his first wife, Dou, were still alive, perhaps Li Yuan could still restrain himself. Now the entire Li Tang is the supreme existence, and he wants to enjoy the mellow wine and beauty.

When the sad Li Jiancheng arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, his Aye was enjoying it without his surprise. The one who accompanied him was Haoji# friend, Pei Ji.

Li Jiancheng waited until Li Yuan turned his attention to him and said, "Aye, Sanhu poisoned his second brother with poisonous wine. After the second brother noticed, he killed Sanhu again."

"What?" Li Yuan kept holding his hips and guns, and stood there in a daze. After reacting, he slapped the dancer in front of him, "Say it again!"

Li Yuan was a little panicked. This was different from what Pei Jian said!

Pei Ji, not far away, also heard Li Jiancheng's words, but he still let the dancer on him continue to sensation.

When Li Yuanji went to find him, he expected something to happen. However, what Li Jiancheng said just now exceeded his expectations.

The reason why Pei Ji dared to pay attention to Li Yuanji was because he knew that Li Yuan didn't care about dying one son. If one died, Li Yuan could still play balance for the remaining two.

As Li Yuan's main counselor and confidant, he knew deeply that Li Yuan was afraid of his three sons. Li Yuan was afraid that he would become the second Emperor Wen of Sui, and that another Yang Guang would appear among his three sons. Li Yuan, who had been through the Sui Dynasty, had not been far away from the lessons of the former Sui Dynasty, and he had not yet enjoyed enough of the satisfaction brought by the power.

Pei Ji also knew that Li Jiancheng hated him, so holding Li Yuan's thighs tightly was the way to save his life. This is the reason why he helped Li Jiancheng fight against Li Shimin. After getting rid of Li Shimin, he helped Li Yuanji fight against Li Jiancheng.

But now that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are both dead, it will be no fun next time.

Pei Ji enjoyed the quickness of the little head below, while quickly turning the big head above. Before Li Yuan asked him for advice, he had to come up with a countermeasure.

Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan as he thought about it.

Li Yuan also felt that the current situation was a bit tricky.

The boss wanted to take the opportunity of a banquet to get rid of the second brother who had become increasingly prominent in politics. This was originally his instruction. Otherwise, the third brother would not have known that the second brother would offer advice on the reform of copper coins.

It doesn’t matter if the second child dies, why is the third child dead? He just discussed with Jian Pei how to support the third child. Even if the third child dies, it’s okay to leave the second child behind.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng with some uncertainty. He was not sure whether it was really because the incident happened suddenly. The third brother suffered a backlash from the second brother before his death, or whether Li Jiancheng lied.

The guilty Li Jiancheng dared not give his father more time to think, even if he figured it out later, it would be useless. Now, his eldest brother is only six years old. He doesn't believe that his father dares to depose him, and then let his six-year-old brother be the prince.

"Aye, look at this afterwards..."

Li Yuan waved his hand in dismay, "You are the prince and you are the eldest brother, won't you deal with it?"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he pressed the joy in his heart, "Then let's make arrangements now." Li Yuan did not go to the scene to check, and he didn't even need to say some things he was ready.

"Wait!" Li Jiancheng turned around, and Li Yuan called him again, "You can confirm the news about your second brother first. Before you can confirm, don't reveal your third brother's affairs."

"yes!"

Li Jiancheng bowed and left. His father's words just now reminded him, and he had to hurry to confirm the news about another person.

When Li Jiancheng left, Li Yuan said to Pei Ji with some worries: "Have you told Sanhu not to let him get too involved? Why did he take the initiative to provide wine?"

Pei Ji turned his head and looked at Li Yuan, "I know the temperament of the King of Qi and repeatedly reminded him. But what happened at the banquet was because the King of Qi was reckless and forgot my advice, or..."

"You mean... you built him..." Li Yuan asked uncertainly.

"Yes and no, it doesn't matter now. What's important is, what is the plan for the saint next?"

"Ah~~~~~" Li Yuan was also a little helpless.

If there is one left, continue to fight against the boss. After fifteen or twenty years, he kicks his legs and doesn’t matter who he is the emperor. But now, he must come up with a way to limit the boss’s rights.

"A saint, it is better to use this excuse to kill the officials of the Eastern Palace, kill the exiled officials, and completely change the people around the prince. He wants to cultivate another group of confidants, which always takes time.

Wait a few years later, kill another group and exile another group..."

Li Yuan nodded, "That's all."

Seeing that Li Yuan had adopted his advice, Pei Ji was excited to turn the defense and attack, turning the dancer on his body overturned and pressing him under him.

Li Yuan also seemed to have solved the problem and his interest also rose.

Li Shimin, who was in a coma, didn't know that Li Jiancheng helped him get rid of a younger brother who was hostile to him, nor did he know that he was already a dead person in his father's eyes.

Li Jiancheng hurried back to wait for the news with the joy of accomplishing his achievements. When he returned to the East Palace, the chief executive was already waiting for him.

"Crown Prince, there is martial law everywhere. Even if you want to pass the words inside, you can't pass them in, let alone spread the words. I have already ordered people to secretly set up people around me, and I will report it as soon as there is news. Another news is that someone saw several guards from the Qin Prince's Mansion summoning the imperial physician."

Li Jiancheng's heart was suddenly raised, "You sent someone to guard all the gates of the East Palace, only allowed to enter and not leave; the news about Changsun Jianmen was not allowed to be revealed without the orders of the prince; now, you are looking for someone to... be collected."

The chief manager went out to make arrangements,

Li Jiancheng glanced at the body on the mat and walked towards the bedroom in dismay.

No matter whether it was martial law or sent someone to find the imperial physician, he would not have any surprises. However, the news was not confirmed for a moment, and he could not be at peace for a moment.

Li Jiancheng, who couldn't sleep all night, was about to go to his father to ask for some imperial edict. Since the Qin King's Mansion was martial law, he simply put the charge of assassinating the King of Qi on Li Shimin's head. Even if he was not dead, the imperial edict would take his life. If he dragged it on, he felt that he would be tortured to death.

As he was about to reach Tai Chi Palace, Li Jiancheng stopped again. He realized that his father must have not yet gotten up, because he was too anxious and forgot about his father's habits.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while, turned around and headed straight to Pei Ji's mansion with the guard.

Although he hated Pei Ji very much, he had to admire Pei Ji's insight into some things. He knew Pei Ji's influence on his father better than many people.

Not long after Li Jiancheng left Zhuque Gate, a double-horse Zhai carriage drove into Xuanwu Gate, and the car was seated in the carriage.
