Concubine Yin De was born in a poor family. In order to maintain her favor and climb up the ladder, it was inevitable that her hands would be stained with blood.
Even if you don't need to check this kind of thing, smart people can guess three points.
Therefore, if someone wants to use this as a handle to control Concubine Yin De, it will be very difficult, because if it were so easy to control Concubine Yin De, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would have taken action long ago, and it would not be the turn of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pull the strings.
After all, if an imperial concubine, especially a favored imperial concubine, could be manipulated, it would be a great help to both Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
If Concubine Yin could be controlled with such a handle that any smart person could guess, then Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin would have firmly grasped Concubine Yin.
But facts have proven that neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Shimin had Concubine Yin firmly in their hands. The people who really controlled Concubine Yin were people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Therefore, the real reason why Concubine Yin De was manipulated was definitely not the killing of the prince, the princess, the daughter-in-law, or the palace servants.
"Do you think the concubines in the harem have my father as their backer, so they need to find other backers?"
After Li Yuanji determined the crux of the problem, he suddenly spoke and asked Ling Jing in a faint tone.
Ling Jing opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, but did not speak.
The concubines had the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty as their backers, so why should they look for other backers?
Therefore, the fact that Concubine Yin De secretly communicated with the guard Zhu Mingmen to find backers for the concubines in the palace was not as simple as it seemed.
Ling Jing had roughly guessed the real reason why Concubine Yin De and Guard Zhu Mingmen were looking for backers for the concubines in the palace.
Li Yuanji also guessed it, but he had no way to say it. He could only sigh quietly: "These resentful women in the palace are really bold and reckless."
Ling Jing smiled bitterly and did not dare to speak.
Because if the speculation in his mind is true, then the number of people involved may be beyond his imagination.
Now that this matter is exposed, if Li Yuan knows about it, then Li Yuan will most likely massacre everyone in Tai Chi Palace.
"Zhu Mingmen is on duty, Concubine Yin De, you are really bold."
Li Yuanji took a deep breath and sighed with cold eyes.
Ling Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also very courageous."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "They dare to hide such a big thing from my father. They are indeed brave enough."
After saying this, Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and said: "This matter ends here. Don't investigate further. If my father notices the clues, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ling Jing knew how serious the consequences would be if Li Yuan knew about this matter, so he nodded solemnly.
Li Yuanji stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, looked in the direction of Tai Chi Palace, and said coldly: "Sure enough... the more glamorous the place, the more dirt is hidden."
Ling Jing nodded in agreement.
"Go and invite my second brother to come here and talk."
Li Yuanji gave instructions to Ling Jing.
Ling Jing said in surprise: "Aren't you trying to avoid His Highness King Qin?"
Li Yuanji turned back and glanced at Ling Jing and said: "My eldest brother's matter has been settled, and I no longer need to avoid my second brother.
Although the things that Concubine Yin De and Guard Zhu Mingmen have done should not be publicized, as a son of man, how can I allow such people to live in the world."
Li Yuanji said that Ling Ran was righteous, but in fact, that was not what he thought in his heart.
He had no intention of "justifying" Li Yuan. He just couldn't bear to see that such a person who had lost his humanity and morality could still live comfortably in glory and wealth.
"But Concubine Yin De has been judged by the saint..."
Ling Jing said hesitantly.
Li Yuanji said indifferently: "So the ones I want to judge are the guards at Zhu Mingmen and those who have not been exposed."
Ling Jing hesitated and said: "But if you do this, you will definitely make countless enemies and branches will inevitably arise."
This is not good for Li Yuanji, who has always maintained a low sense of presence.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said indifferently: "So what if we make enemies, what if we have many branches? If I join forces with my second brother, who in the world can be our opponent?"
This is not Li Yuanji's arrogance, but a fact.
With his current strength and Li Shimin's current strength, if they really want to join forces, there really will be no opponent in the world who can be their enemy.
After all, history has proven that without him, Li Shimin would still be invincible.
Without him, Li Shimin could only ask God for a rival, because all mortals would prostrate themselves at his feet.
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled cheerfully: "That's true..."
Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating that Ling Jing could leave.
Ling Jing bowed, left Jiudao Palace, and rushed to Chang'an City.
At noon, when the sun was at its strongest, Li Shimin, dressed in a green shirt, appeared in the main hall of Jiudao Palace.
He also held a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be a frail scholar.
It's just that the strong aura on his body that can be felt from a long distance has completely washed away the literary energy in his body.
So when he arrived at the Jiudao Palace, and the man with the golden sword sat on the throne, Li Yuanji felt that his attire was incompatible with him.

"Look what I'm doing? Is there something wrong with my outfit?"
After being "preferred" by Li Yuan again, Li Shimin didn't seem to suffer any psychological harm. He looked very free and relaxed, and he was smiling when he spoke.
Facing Li Shimin's question, Li Yuanji smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing wrong. I just feel that your dress is incompatible with your aura."
Li Yuanji did not hide it, but frankly spoke out what was in his heart.
When Li Shimin heard this, not only was he not angry, but he looked around and said with a cheerful smile: "Your sister-in-law said the same thing before going out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It’s just that I don’t think we need to care about these things when we meet as brothers, so I came dressed like this, what do you think?”
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "I think it's pretty good."
Li Shimin laughed and talked about his family affairs.
First, he talked about a lot of interesting things about Li Tai's daily interactions with other little princes and princesses in the palace, and then extended to the childhood of him and Li Yuanji.
He said that he taught Li Yuanji archery, taught Li Yuanji how to read, accompanied Li Yuanji in getting into trouble, and led Li Yuanji into trouble.
When it comes to emotional points, a look of reminiscence appears on his face.
Talking about happy places, smile brightly.
Li Yuanji just sat there, listening quietly, until Li Shimin finished speaking and reminiscing, and sighed, "We brothers will never be able to go back to the past..."
Li Yuanji slowly said: "It is true that we can't go back to the past, but we are still brothers, blood brothers."
When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded seriously and said: "That's true. No matter when or where we are, we are brothers, blood brothers. No one can change this."
Li Yuanji nodded.
Li Shimin wanted to strike while the iron was hot and say something else, something beneficial to him.
But I heard Li Yuanji speak again: "We are also our father's sons, biological sons."
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji in astonishment, wondering why Li Yuanji suddenly said such a thing and why he said such a thing.
After spending a long time with smart people, especially many smart people, I like to mince words when speaking, and when listening to people’s words, I also like to listen to the deep meaning and hidden meanings.
Li Shimin almost subconsciously felt that there was something in Li Yuanji's words, so he subconsciously analyzed and tasted it.
Li Yuanji did have something in his words, but he did not give Li Shimin time to guess more. He said frankly: "I have heard some bad rumors recently..."
"oh?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Is it about my father?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "I heard that the concubines in the palace are looking for backers for themselves."
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji in confusion, not understanding what Li Yuanji meant by his words.
It is very common for the concubines in the palace to find a backer for themselves.
Without a backer, how can they climb up? Without a backer, how can their heirs manage the fiefdom when they grow up, relying on the meager means they learned in the palace?
Therefore, it is very common for the concubines in the palace to find backers for themselves or their heirs, and there is nothing to worry about at all.
Li Shimin didn't understand why Li Yuanji specifically mentioned this kind of thing.
Logically speaking, this is actually a mutually reinforcing and mutually beneficial thing.
Some families without high-ranking officials attached themselves to a prince and helped the prince develop their fiefdoms, allowing the prince to have enough money to squander, and also allowing the prince to have more in the court.
of influence.
What the prince needs in return is protection, to protect the family from being bullied by other powerful families.
This is how many small families survive.
This is also how many unloved princes will make a living in the future.
Therefore, many small families are willing to provide some help to the princes when they are still young.
Many princes were willing to accept small families when they were young.
Li Yuan has always maintained a tacit attitude towards this matter.
Because in Li Yuan's view, someone is spending money to help him raise those sons who are not valued by him. This will allow him to no longer have to worry about his son's livelihood when his son becomes an adult, and it will also allow him to reduce his concern for his son when he becomes an adult.
The son’s investment in his future life.
And what he, and his son, have to pay is just a little protection.
So he felt that he had earned this business and there was no need for him to stop it.
So this kind of thing was very common in the palace, and Li Shimin didn't understand why Li Yuanji mentioned it.
Li Yuanji faced Li Shimin's confused eyes and said with the same confusion: "They are their father's concubines. With their father as their backer, do they need to find other backers?"
Li Shimin felt that Li Yuanji probably didn't understand the situation, and he wanted to explain a few words to Li Yuanji, but then he heard Li Yuanji say again: "They have no heirs, what do they need other backers?"
