After having fun with Lu Wanjie, Li Chengqian left the palace and got into his carriage.
But when he sat on the couch, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
When he turned around, he suddenly saw a dagger inserted through a folded piece of paper on the wall of the carriage.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward, opened the curtain and asked the groom who was driving the carriage for him.
"Tu Gui, did you see someone getting on my carriage just now?"
"Never."
Tu Gui shook his head, and then asked nervously: "Did your Highness lose something?"
"No." .??.
Li Chengqian shook his head and returned to the carriage.
Looking at the dagger, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took it off.
Then, he unfolded the paper and read it by the dim candlelight.
On that paper, the words were concise, but there were only a few numbers.
"The Boling Cui family attached themselves to King Lu..."
See these eight words.
Li Chengqian only felt that his head was big.
The king of Lu was Li Yuanchang, although he was only one year older than Li Chengqian.
But he is Li Chengqian's real uncle.
Li Chengqian, who was familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, naturally knew that Li Yuanchang was very capable.
If not for this, he would not have been able to almost defeat Li Zhi and become Li Shimin's successor in the subsequent battle for succession.
It seems that he has begun to have thoughts about the throne now...
but……
Who sent this letter?
Li Chengqian looked at the letter in his hand, filled with doubts.
He is not as powerful as Li Shimin, and he has spies everywhere.
And in order to avoid suspicion, he never interfered in this aspect.
But why would someone send him a letter now?
Suddenly, at this moment, a system prompt sounded...
{Received anger value +99 from Li Tai...} >
{Received resentment value +99 from Li Tai...}
Hearing the system prompt, Li Chengqian's frown suddenly spread, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Li Tai, Li Tai, how many times have I told you, if you want the throne, just tell me directly. Do you have to play these tricks?"
With his thoughts at this point, Li Chengqian burned the letter paper to ashes with the fire of a candle.
Watching the letter burning, Li Chengqian had a lot of thoughts.
The Cui family of Qinghe and the Cui family of Boling were originally from the same lineage.
The famous family from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties was derived from the surname Jiang, and received the surname Cui because of the fiefdom of Cui Yi.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Cui Ye settled in Dongwucheng County, Qinghe County, and later generations called him "Qinghe Dongwucheng native", which is the origin of the Qinghe Cui family.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, it emerged as a prominent family in Guandong. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was crowned with each other. It officially entered its heyday during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and reached its peak in the early years of the Northern Dynasties.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was listed as one of the four high-ranking families.
In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin re-edited the genealogy of the world and ranked it among seven surnames and ten families.
If it hadn't been for the sudden emergence of Li Chengqian, which disrupted the historical direction of the Lu family in Fanyang, and even caused the Cui family in Qinghe to be executed by the Nine Clan.
In the future, the Cui family will move towards a more glorious future together with the Fanyang Lu family.
However, as long as there is a slight deviation in some history, there will be no going back.
Nowadays, the Fan Yanglu family has gradually faded out of the world and entered the business world.
Of the four high-ranking families, only the three families of King Zheng and Cui were left struggling to support them.
It is not difficult to see from Zhao Youlin's incident that the Zheng family has made it clear that they want to be on the sidelines, and they will fall in that direction when the wind blows.
In addition, the Taiyuan Wang family gradually fell out of tune with the times after the reform of the imperial examination system, and gradually failed to get on the stage...
After all, the only one who can stir up trouble again is the Bolingcui family.
Li Chengqian gathered his heads and looked out the window
.
"You're just a grasshopper after autumn. How many more days can you keep jumping around?"
He will not take the initiative to provoke anyone.
But if someone messes with him, don't blame him for being ruthless.
After all, Li Chengqian is no longer the eight-year-old he is today.
Fighting on a battlefield full of blood for two or three years is not just going through the motions.
It also made his mentality change slightly in some places.
It's just that even he didn't notice it himself.
… ??
Inside the Heyu Hall.
A young eunuch ran into the study, faced Li Tai and cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, King Wei, everything is done."
"oh?"
Li Tai's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and then asked without raising his head: "What was his reaction? Did he yell? Did he go to King Lu?"
"After the slave sent the letter, he followed me outside for a long time and didn't hear anything else."
The young eunuch reported truthfully: "And it seemed like nothing happened to him. He took a carriage directly back to Prince Qin's Mansion."
"hehe."
Li Tai's eyes were deep, he looked up and looked out the window and said, "The Cui family has a deadly feud with Li Chengqian. I believe that they will never let it go."
"Just wait, Li Chengqian will suffer the consequences next."
When he finished speaking, he pretended to sigh and said: "As my younger brother, this is all I can do."
"As for how he chooses, that's his business."
Although the words sound nice.
But to put it bluntly, didn't he just want to sit back and watch Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang have a tit-for-tat battle?
His abacus was very good.
Let Li Chengqian know the news first, and he will definitely prepare in advance.
In this way, when the time comes, the eldest grandson family and the Lu family behind Li Chengqian will inevitably have to fight with each other. The Bolingcui family, a well-established family, engages in a fierce game.
The Bolingcui family has a huge power and a complicated network of relationships. Even if the eldest Sun family and the Lu family are willing to do their best for Li Chengqian, they can fight two against one.
I'm afraid that in the end we will end up in a lose-lose situation.
And in the final outcome, whether Li Chengqian wins or Li Yuanchang wins, there is bound to be only one suction left.
At that time, won't he be able to manipulate whoever he wants?
Thinking of these things, Li Tai became extremely happy.
The words written down are also more powerful.
…
At the same time, inside the Manlu Hall.
Eunuch Zhou stepped into it and walked up to Li Shimin who was still reviewing the memorial.
"Your Majesty, the Bolingcui family has begun to have secret contact with King Lu in private."
"oh?"
Li Shimin raised his eyes and asked with a smile: "Is their plan to promote Li Yuanchang to the crown prince?"
"At present, this is the case."
Eunuch Zhou frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to find a crime to accuse the Boling Cui family..."
He didn't say anything else, he just made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Li Shimin shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessary."
He stood up, stretched and said, "After all, this is how I got here."
"It's time for that kid to fully understand the dangers here."
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Is there anything strange happening over there at Qingque?"
"No."
Eunuch Zhou shook his head and said: "According to His Majesty's instructions, the fourth prince has been writing a new geographical chronicle recently based on the Zhenguan territory map compiled by the eldest prince. I am afraid that he has no time to get involved in the affairs of Hedao."
"That's good."
Li Shimin's eyes were deep: "I just hope that these brothers can be more harmonious and never follow my old path..."
