Chapter 833: Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji's assassination was actually your order, right?
In the Tai Chi Hall of Chang'an, Prince Li Jiancheng had a gloomy face, pointed at the King of Qin Li Shimin standing in front of him, and said in a sonorous tone.
"Pei Jieyu, who was with Aye, saw clearly that you, Erlang, assassinated Aye during a private audience. Now in front of important civil and military ministers, you actually dare to quibble..."
"nonsense!"
Faced with Li Jiancheng's accusation, Qin King Li Shimin didn't panic, he opened his mouth and retorted.
"It was obvious that your affair with Pei Jieyu was exposed. You were afraid of being punished by Aye, so you assassinated Aye first. Now you actually plan to frame Gu!"
"You are talking nonsense. Gu and Pei Jieyu have never had any contact, how could you have an affair with her..."
Li Jiancheng showed no sign of weakness in response to Li Shimin's counterattack.
"Obviously, Erlang, your plan to become the prince was rejected by Aye, so you were unwilling to accept it, and you were also dissatisfied with Aye's preference for Gu, so you started to kill your father, and you actually made excuses."
"Hmph! Aye also gave me a Zhongshu Ling today, asking me to learn how to handle government affairs. This means that Aye has already planned to change the crown prince!"
Li Shimin once again argued back with reason.
"Dalang, how did you know that Gu was unwilling to be rejected? But Dalang, you and Pei Jieyu's affair was exposed, and you found out that Aye had the desire to save money, so you assassinated Aye frantically.
…”
"..."
Just when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were facing each other tit for tat on Danbi, their supporters also began to fight openly and covertly under Danbi.
"Actually, it's not difficult to judge this matter..."
As a die-hard member of the Qin royal family, Chen Shuda was the first to stand up without hesitation. However, as a cultural person, his accusation of Prince Li Jiancheng was actually very fair on the surface.
"As we all know, if someone benefits after something happens, then it is very likely that someone did it. And after the saint was assassinated, who benefited the most?
After hearing what Chen Shuda said, many members of the Qin royal family like him immediately stood up and echoed.
"Zicong's words are wrong!"
Tang Jian on the other side immediately stood up and retorted.
"Perhaps the person who carried out the assassination was just to mislead someone. For such a major event as the assassination of a saint, how can one rely on someone's imagination to judge what is right and what is wrong..."
After Tang Jian finished speaking, a few princelings and some officials who supported the eldest son's succession also stood up to express their support. However, it could be seen at a glance that these people were inferior to those opposite in terms of number and volume.
There is a big gap between the teams.
"..."
At this time, as the highest-ranking minister in the court, Sikong Peiji, who was supposed to stand up to maintain order in the court, immediately stood on the spot with a heavy face after hearing the news of his good friend's death. His wrinkled old face was full of tears.
It was a look of astonishment.
He couldn't believe that his good friend passed away like this...
"Pei Sikong!"
At this time, Tang Jian, who was below, felt that he was unable to fight with two fists, so he decided to target the leader of the Imperial Party, Pei Ji, who had not made any statement.
"You have a close relationship with the saint. What do you think of this matter?"
"Well……"
Pei Ji, who was awakened from his meditation, was still a little at a loss. He hesitated for a while before speaking.
"I think this matter should be investigated more carefully. After all, there are many people in the palace, and there should be palace attendants around the saint. Maybe someone has seen it..."
"Pei Sikong!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Tang Jian raised his voice without hesitation and interrupted him directly.
"Prince Shicai said that before the incident, the saint was going to Wangyunting to admire the moon, so he did not have anyone to accompany him. Only Pei Jieyu was with him, so no one else witnessed it... So someone thought that Pei Jie
Yu’s words should be reliable, what do you think?”
After hearing these words, Pei Ji's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Pei Ji, whose surname is also Pei, and Pei Jieyu who entered the palace are from the same family, so they should support each other, Pei Ji himself knows in his heart that his niece is actually very likely to be the killer of the Yinmen.
Could it be that his best friend really died at the hands of his niece?
"that……"
It was difficult to weigh the pros and cons for the moment, which caused Pei Ji to hesitate when speaking.
"Since this matter is serious, I still think we should investigate clearly..."
"It would be great if we could investigate clearly!"
Tang Jian interrupted Pei Ji again and continued.
"But only Pei Jieyu, the Crown Prince, and King Qin know about this matter. Where should you and I investigate?"
"Naturally, we started investigating from the riot of Dragon Qi in the Dynasty..."
Before Pei Ji could finish what he said, he heard a clear voice coming from the door. The important officials present turned their heads and were shocked to find a handsome Taoist priest in white walking in from outside the temple.
, also carrying an unconscious man and a long sword in his hands.
"Just after the saint was assassinated using magic, causing the dragon energy to riot, our Taishi Bureau Qingxia Master immediately rushed to Ouchi, and following the traces of the dragon energy, we quickly found the assassin and the murder weapon."
"..."
After hearing what the young Taoist priest said, the important officials present looked at each other in shock.
The assassin was actually found...
How can the Taishi Bureau do things so vigorously and resolutely?
Plop!
Kong Qing walked to the center of the Tai Chi Hall in full view of everyone, then casually dropped the person he was carrying in the middle of the hall, and then raised his hand to let everyone see the long sword in his hand.
"Here! This is the assassin, and this sword is the murder weapon..."
In the sound of Kong Qing's words, the man who was thrown to the ground rolled over on the ground, revealing a face that was very familiar to everyone.
After seeing his face, the court ministers present immediately exclaimed!
"This is...King Qi!"
"Is he the one who assassinated the saint?"
"Why did King Qi assassinate the saint? Could the Taishi Bureau have made a mistake..."
"..."
"Of course there is no mistake, because those who use magic to kill the king will definitely be counterattacked by the dragon's energy, without exception!"
Kong Qing first stated the facts in an affirmative tone, and then pointed to Li Yuanji, who was unconscious on the ground with a pale face, and said in a doubtful tone.
"And the symptom of His Highness King Qi's current coma is that he was backlashed by the dragon's energy. Any practitioner can be sure of this... Then the question is, as the son of a saint and an important minister of the imperial court, what did His Highness King Qi do?
How could the dragon energy, the thing that was supposed to protect him, backfire and turn things into what they are now?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, these important ministers nodded unconsciously.
That’s right!
Being able to be backlashed by dragon energy must be because Qi King Li Yuanji did some taboo things, such as regicide!
"Qingwei, don't talk nonsense!"
At this moment, Prince Li Jiancheng, who was standing in the center of the hall, suddenly shouted.
"Sanlang is just a mortal. How could he use a magical weapon that only practitioners can use to assassinate Aye?"
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, the important officials in the court nodded unconsciously.
yes!
Qi King Li Yuanji is just a mortal, how can he use magic weapons to kill people?
"as big as World, nothing is nonexistent!"
After hearing Li Jiancheng's question, Kong Qing waved his hand casually and continued.
"Although generally speaking, magic weapons must be controlled by practitioners and can be activated by magic power to display various magical abilities, but this does not mean that all magic weapons are like this. For example, this sword is not..."
As he spoke, Kong Qing gently turned the long sword in his hand so that the people present could see it more clearly.
"This sword is made from mica iron, Kunwu gold, Yingzhou jade and other heavenly and earthly treasures. When it is cast, the power of many immortal materials will be extracted and gathered into a sword light.
Among them, even an ordinary person using this sword can launch an attack that can crack mountains and crack the earth."
"..."
"Use a magic weapon to assassinate, the dragon energy backfires, frame the blame..."
Just after Kong Qing finished explaining, King Qin Li Shimin, who was standing at the top, suddenly muttered a few words to himself, then punched his palm and said with a look of realization.
"Guquan understands..."
The next moment, Li Shimin raised his head and spoke to Li Jiancheng word by word.
"Dalang, Sanlang has always obeyed your advice. The reason why he risked the world's disapproval this time and assassinated Aye must be your behind-the-scenes instruction. And the reason why you let Sanlang do it in Wangyunting is actually because you want to
Use Pei Jieyu, who has an affair with you, as a witness so that the assassination of Aye can be framed on Gu!"
Having said this, Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng and said through gritted teeth.
"No wonder Pei Jieyu didn't hesitate to tell Gu Xing to assassinate Aye when she saw Gu, and you arrived immediately with your people. Dalang, your plan is really thorough and interlocking... But it's a pity.
You have calculated so much, but you have not calculated that after Sanlang uses a magic weapon to assassinate, he will also be counterattacked by the dragon's energy. This is how the sky net is restored and not missed!"
After hearing Li Shimin's well-founded analysis, most of the court officials present nodded unconsciously.
That’s right!
If you say this, then everything will fall into place!
"Erlang, don't talk nonsense here!"
After seeing that the court ministers present seemed to believe Li Shimin's words, Li Jiancheng suddenly panicked.
"Gu Ke did not instruct Sanlang to assassinate Aye, and he had no personal relationship with Pei Jieyu. He just heard Pei Jieyu calling Erlang to assassinate Aye, so he led people to rush over. That's all. Besides...
…”
Li Jiancheng pointed at Kong Qing, who was standing next to him.
"To say that Saburo is an assassin is just a one-sided statement from the Taishi Bureau. Who can prove that it was really Saburo who did this?"
