Chapter Nineteen, Five Years of Zhenguan, Chang'an Eliminates Demons
In that year, it was the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Although Li Shimin ascended the throne shortly, he made great contributions in the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and had a deep foundation in the court and the country, so he quickly stabilized the situation and gained power when he first ascended the throne.
At that time, all the ministers were impressed, the Xuanwu Gate coup, and the Supreme Emperor abdicated, let alone now.
However, in addition to being the emperor, Li Shimin was also a father, and he seemed to be a very humane father. Later, the prince rebelled and did not kill him because of pity, but was demoted to a commoner. Later, he even wanted to raise him up.
This year, he even conferred all his remaining sons who had not yet been crowned king, including the eleventh prince Li Jian, who is still in his infancy.
The reason why the twelve sons were the eleventh princes was because a son in front was adopted by Li Zhiyun. Unfortunately, the son died prematurely. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was posthumously named King of Chu.
Li Jian’s biological mother was just an unpopular palace maid. She thought her mother could be honored by her son, but she just became king and died in the first year. It was really...
However, Shi Zi quickly felt something was wrong, mainly because he learned from the palace maids that Li Shimin's way of handling it was not very right.
Even if his attitude towards Li Chengqian and Li Zhi was related to the queen and was a love house and a slut, it at least shows that he has a certain human touch.
So, for his son, especially his son who is still in his infancy but died, he should have a little licking love, right?
But the result was that he not only allowed someone to deal with Li Jian's body immediately, but it would be fine if he did not give any memorial service, but even invited a group of monks to do a ritual.
This ritual is obviously not for the purpose of relief, but is more like "exorcism".
This is also the reason why the two palace maids are gossiping. After all, things happen to people in the palace often happen, but it is already amazing to have a prince who dies. The situation after death is still so miserable that it is even worse than some ordinary palace maids.
As for the prince's biological mother, they also mentioned it, but obviously they didn't know the truth, they were all guessing that they might have been sent to the cold palace.
This is a normal speculation. After all, the eleventh prince is one of Li Shimin's many sons. It is normal for him to not value it that much, but it is her only one for her biological mother.
Perhaps because of some reason, he angered the emperor and was expelled.
Shi Zi kept hearing them finish talking, and then gradually began to discuss other topics before leaving, but she was still thinking about this matter in her heart.
Some people think that Li Shimin has a big mind and some think that he is small-minded. His attitude towards Wei Zheng before and after his death is really two extremes, which makes people confused.
However, as a father, even if he has no affection for his son, he would not be able to do so directly, and he has no skills on the surface.
Could it be that the eleventh prince was not Li Shimin's son, and then he found out that he was green and ordered someone to kill him?
Then his biological mother probably won't be much better, and she may have been reunited underground.
However, it is possible to have this bloody ethical drama at 8 o'clock, but in the royal family, can such a thing be born?
Don’t you know what’s going on if you look at your daily life?
Especially for ordinary palace ladies, they will be treated even more severely in this regard. If there is no evidence, Li Shimin may not even admit it.
So naturally, Shi Zi became curious about Li Shimin's strange attitude towards his son who died prematurely.
Curiosity arises. If it were in his previous life, he might just think about it. It is likely that he will leave it alone, not only because he is lazy and afraid of trouble, but also because he really has no ability to meddle in other people's business.
But after practicing in this life, and it seems that after practicing Taoism for a long time, sometimes I will feel a little compassionate and sometimes my attitude towards people and things will be different.
"Let's take a look first... If it's just a 'small matter', then let's help. It's said that the Tian family has nothing to do. If someone just wants to deal with a prince, it's okay. If the real intention is Emperor Taizong of Tang, it's going to be troublesome."
Li Shimin is now one of the people in the world. If something happens to him, the Tang Dynasty may not collapse immediately in a period of stable development, but it will also cause a lot of chaos in a short period of time, and the lives of the people may be affected.
"I am a demon in this life, but after all, I was a human being after all. As a human being, I can help you with it."
Even along the way to Chang'an, he was very kind and generous. If he did too many good deeds, his mentality would become full.
However, he was just hearing the chat between the two palace maids and could not determine the truth of the matter. If they were just gossips of the tongue-in-law, then he would not waste his feelings in vain.
So before doing something, you have to find a way to figure out the matter out, at least make sure that what they said is true, so that you can explore the truth behind it.
So Shi Zi, who originally planned to leave the palace directly, stayed here again and then began to collect information specifically.
Since this matter has been circulated, it is obvious that only the two palace maids will know about it, especially among the concubines in the harem, there will inevitably be discussions.
If Li Shimin really did this, if there was a concubine who didn't know the truth, his descendants would be heartbroken when they knew it.
Shi Zi didn't care about their thoughts, just wanted to know the whole story from them, so he kept flying between these palaces to collect information.
It turns out that no one in the palace can completely keep secrets except for dead people.
Through the mouths of palace maids, eunuchs, concubines and even princes, Shi Zi also confirmed that the two palace maids were indeed true.
First of all, a prince died, and the prince was not buried normally. As for whether the emperor invited the monk to salvation or something for him, I'm afraid only they themselves knew about this.
Because that piece has been sealed up, and the prince’s biological mother is locked inside, others in the harem are prohibited from checking.
Although there is no further information, this is enough to show that there is a problem.
Shi Zi also went there to see it. Li Shimin did invite a high monk. Although Shi Zi could still come and go here freely, at least in the mortal world, the cultivation of these monks and Buddhism can be said to be quite good.
The problems they have never discovered are naturally in Shi Zi's eyes.
"It's actually like this..." Licked on the cross beam in the form of a lice, looking at the dead baby placed in the middle of a Buddha formation from a distance, Shi Zi frowned slightly, "It seems that either someone deliberately harmed his mother, or...
"It is to use this as an introduction to make disasters in the palace, and even the target is Li Shimin..."
Although he didn't know much about the curse seal, there were such magic secrets in the rewards signed in by the system. But he felt that the evil individual didn't like it, so he didn't learn it.
In addition, the talismans he drew also contain talismans containing the power of curses.
"Although the power is not particularly strong,... it is too hidden, so these "eminent monks" didn't see it. What's more important is that after the host died, the curse seal did not disappear, and this survival ability was also very strong.
"It's just that he is temporarily restricted by the monks, but if they don't find any problem in the end and leave directly, the curse seal will likely spread in the palace..."
Thinking of this, Shi Zi was slightly shocked. He didn't have to think about it at all, he must stop it.
But how to intervene in this matter is a problem.
First of all, the mantra seal needs to be removed, but in the current situation, it is difficult to remove the mantra seal quietly. He can only take action by showing up in person. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain that he had no malicious intention to hide in the palace.
If you want to help, you can't get yourself into trouble, as it will make you backfire.
In addition, he also wanted to use this to lead the mastermind behind all this, otherwise it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Since he could do it once without knowing it, he might do it again.
