Before Bai Qi finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er raised his hand and interrupted.
"From now on, stop all actions on this matter immediately!"
Hearing this, although Baiqi was very confused, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He just respectfully raised his hands and replied: "Yes! I accept the order!"
Being able to become the deputy commander of Baiqi Si, this Baiqi is certainly not stupid.
He has already had an opinion on these rumors. In his opinion, besides the princes in the palace, who else would dare to spread these rumors?
His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment and continued: "However, we must immediately start action to stop the rumors!"
"Immediately order to go down and arrest all those who discuss this matter and send them to the government to deal with them!"
"yes!"
After saying that, Baiqi left the imperial study without looking back.
After being brought to the royal study room and he was alone again, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and the expression on his face kept changing.
"It seems that this matter has not been avoided..."
His Majesty Li Er murmured to himself, feeling extremely heavy.
Sure enough, being born into an imperial family, the struggle for power is always inevitable!
It's not that he doesn't dare to let Baiqi investigate this matter, but he doesn't want to!
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter. He would definitely go to Sujiazhuang to ask Su Chen.
After all, this was about the royal family, and even Changsun Wuji and others couldn't say more. But Su Chen was different. He and Su Chen had nothing to hide.
Without too much publicity, His Majesty Li Er secretly left Chang'an City in a carriage and rushed to Wannian County again.
…
Sujiazhuang.
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as he got off the carriage, His Majesty Li Er was choked by the dust in the sky, and there were infrastructure materials everywhere.
Since the logic was no obstacle, His Majesty Li Er could only get out of the car and walk to find Su Chen.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he came to Sujiazhuang in disguise during this period.
In any case, although he was very familiar with the residents of Sujiazhuang, as the emperor, he still had to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing for him, a ninety-five-year-old man, to run to the countryside every day and act like a normal person.
After arriving at Su Chen's old house, His Majesty Li Er directly saw Su Chen who was basking in the sun, and Su Chen also happened to see him.
The two of them looked at each other and said nothing. Su Chen just stood up and motioned for His Majesty Li Er to go inside and chat.
After arriving in the courtyard and telling no one to come near the study, Su Chen took His Majesty Li Er down to the study.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
As soon as the door closed, Su Chen asked directly.
He had just seen His Majesty Li Er's face and already thought of some possibilities.
Another person came in a hurry, with a dull look on his face. It was obvious that something big had happened!
Recently, they have all been busy with Li Chengqian's affairs. Could it be that Lao Li discovered something?
Li Chengqian said before that he liked to practice swordsmanship with his guards in Jiannan Road. Could it be...?!
Seeing Su Chen's expression, His Majesty Li Er knew that Su Chen must have taken the matter very seriously.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with Cheng Qian for the time being."
Hearing this, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Since Cheng Qian is fine, why do you look like something big happened?"
"Aren't you still busy choosing a concubine for Cheng Qian? Why do you keep running to me?"
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and asked: "Recently, there have been waves of unrest. A big event happened in Chang'an City, so I came to see you to ask what you think."
"Just say it."
"The thing is like this, just this morning, I announced to the public that I would choose a concubine for Cheng Qian, and rumors immediately started spreading..."
His Majesty Li Er relayed the details of the matter to Su Chen.
Before he finished speaking, Su Chen almost understood everything.
It seems that other princes are doing this for the sake of becoming the crown prince!
For Su Chen, a time traveler, it is too simple to know which prince did the good deed.
Li Zhi is still a child of four or five years old. Even if the people behind him want to do something, they can't do it so early. It is too easy to be disturbed by others. It is better to wait and see what happens and wait for future opportunities.
After excluding Li Zhi, the only suspect is Wei Wang Li Tai!
Although this King of Wei did not commit any rebellion, it can be seen from various records that he still had great ideas about the throne.
Because he was the fourth son born to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he was deeply favored by Li Shimin.
It can be said that Li Tai's popularity was once second only to Prince Li Chengqian!
According to etiquette, as a prince, when he reaches adulthood, he will be sent to a fiefdom and cannot continue to live in Chang'an.
But Li Tai was different. Not only did he not go to the fiefdom and stay in Chang'an City, but because of his love for literature, he was granted a very enviable privilege by Li Shimin.
That is to set up a literature museum, where you can freely recruit guest scholars!
The establishment of a literature museum can almost be said to have the same status as the prince!
The Literature Museum says it recruits literati, but in reality is it any different from the prince's political clique?
It's just a name change.
With such a privilege, it’s hard not to let Li Tai think wrongly!
Now that these two things have happened, Li Tai will definitely have thoughts about the throne!
So, Su Chen asked: "In the past year, when Cheng Qian was away from Chang'an, which emperors came in and out of the imperial study most frequently?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment and then said, "It's Pheasant Nu and Qing Que. Is there any problem with this?"
Su Chen did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "Then do you think one of the two of them did this?"
"Actually, you already have the answer in your mind, why do you still ask me?"
His Majesty Li Er sighed softly and said: "I always thought that Qingque was very indifferent to the throne and would not do such a thing, but I still underestimated the attraction of the throne to him."
"Yes, this is the tragedy of the royal family. Although it has power that no one in the world can match, this kind of intrigue between bloodlines will always be staged."
His Majesty Li Er's speech was not fast, and his tone was a bit flat, but it made people feel a sense of desolation.
Although Li Er did not directly say that he wanted to establish a new crown prince, judging from the extent of his love for Li Tai, he actually revealed this intention.
He publicly praised his ability and gave him the privilege of setting up a literature museum, but he was not allowed to leave Chang'an City...
With so much favor added together, it is almost comparable to that of a prince. It is strange that Li Tai and his supporters have no idea.
