Li Shimin sat in the main seat and listened to Eunuch Zhou's report.
Although Li Shimin did not go to Jiangnan Road in person, he was paying attention there all the time.
After all, this is not just a trip between his father Li Yuan and his son Li Chengqian.
There is also Li Shimin's intention to let Li Chengqian cut off Li Tai's logistics lifeline.
After he finished listening, he asked: "But after investigation, who did this?"
"It's been found out."
"only……"
Eunuch Zhou raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin.
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, what do you mean by looking at me like this?"
"Well……"
Eunuch Zhou bowed slightly and said: "The person who sent people to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince is...King Wei."
"It's him again..."
Li Shimin sighed softly and said, "Then what's his reaction now?"
"No."
Eunuch Zhou shook his head: "However, His Royal Highness encountered some trouble because when he killed the assassin, it affected civilians."
"The old slave guesses that His Highness King Wei is likely to make a fuss in the court through this incident."
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded.
He said: "Indeed, this boy will not miss this good opportunity."
"But this time, his plan must have failed."
"After all, my father went with that boy."
Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "With his love for Qian'er, he will not watch Qian'er fall into trouble."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Indeed, the Emperor set out to help His Highness the Crown Prince on the second day."
"Moreover, the Supreme Emperor also found many courtiers who had retired to seclusion, and jointly submitted a confession to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Eunuch Zhou said: "It will take only a few days for those discounts to arrive on His Majesty's desk."
"But……"
Eunuch Zhou paused, then looked at Li Shimin and said : "The matter with King Wei is actually not a big deal, but there is still someone in the dark."
"Are you talking about Ke'er?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Zhou.
"Yes."
"He is very close to King Wei."
"And I also had conflicts with His Royal Highness in some aspects."
"So Lao Nu feels that he will not give up this opportunity before him."
Eunuch Zhou said calmly: "The old slave guesses that he is very likely to take advantage of this time to attack His Highness the Crown Prince."
Earlier, when Li Chengqian was in Liangzhou.
Li Ke secretly had Li Chengqian's cloth warehouse destroyed.
Regarding this matter, Li Chengqian also argued sharply with Li Ke before going to court.
Of course, the final result was nothing.
However, this planted a hidden danger in the hearts of their brothers.
Everyone can see that an unprecedented game will definitely arise between the two.
Li Shimin also nodded, and he motioned to Eunuch Zhou, asking him to continue.
"And your Majesty, the situation of King Shu and King Wei is different."
"Due to His Majesty's imprisonment, King Wei does not have much real power in his hands, so he can only use his identity and connections to do things secretly."
"But the King of Shu is a serious man who has hundreds of thousands of Shu soldiers."
Eunuch Zhou looked at Li Shimin and said, "If he and His Highness the Crown Prince completely break up, it might be a new round of crisis for our Datang."
This is true and fact.
As much influence as Li Chengqian had in Longyou Road, so much influence did Li Ke have in Shu.
Once a conflict breaks out between these two people, it will lead to a head-on collision between Longyou Road and Shu.
At that time, we don’t care who is strong and who is weak.
But the final result will definitely plunge Datang into unprecedented catastrophe.
After hearing this, Li Shimin also fell into deep thought.
He looked up at Eunuch Zhou and said, "This matter needs long-term consideration..."
But if you touch the king of Shu, it is equivalent to slapping the people of Shu in the face.
I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble by then.
So Li Shimin really didn't want to touch Li Ke if it wasn't necessary.
Now he was afraid that he could only hope that Li Ke would not be so stupid and run to fight Li Chengqian to the end.
…
Crane Feather Hall.
Li Ke and Li Tai sat opposite each other and played chess on the chessboard.
After Li Ke lost a son.
He then slowly said: "I heard recently that Changzhou is not very peaceful."
"yes."
Li Tai smiled slightly and said: "It is said that our Crown Prince was assassinated by a gangster."
"Bad guy?"
Li Ke raised his eyes, looked at Li Tai, and said, "Didn't you do this?"
Hearing this, Li Tai immediately showed an expression of fear.
He said: "Brother Three Emperors, please don't talk nonsense. Assassinating the current prince is a crime punishable by beheading."
"hehe."
Li Ke chuckled lightly and stopped talking.
Seeing his appearance, Li Tai pursed his lips.
"Whoever wants to assassinate him has nothing to do with us."
"And right now, the most important thing to us is the other thing he did."
Li Tai looked at Li Ke and said: "This guy killed many ordinary people in order to catch the assassin. The people of Changzhou complained a lot about this."
"If someone else did it, it wouldn't be a big deal."
"But I think it would still be a bit embarrassing for the royal family if a child of our royal family did something like this."
Li Tai looked at Li Ke and said, "Especially you and I are also members of the royal family, are you right?"
To put it bluntly, what he meant was that what Li Chengqian did was embarrassing them and ruining their reputation.
r>
At the same time, he also wanted to hint to Li Ke that he could use this to launch a new round of offensive against Li Chengqian.
However, Li Ke was very disdainful of his words.
Li Ke snorted coldly and said, "Can't you think about something worthy of publicity?"
To be honest, if the camps weren't the same now.
Li Ke doesn't even like Li Tai.
All the tricks this guy used were just backstabbing.
This is completely contrary to Li Ke's personality.
Deep down in his heart, he actually wanted to have a head-to-head fight with Li Chengqian.
Of course, Li Tai could also see what he was thinking.
And Li Ke looked down upon his petty behavior, how could he look down on Li Tai's reckless behavior?
Only a stupid person would think of fighting Li Chengqian head-on.
After all, this guy's own abilities should not be underestimated, and he is also deeply loved by Li Shimin.
If we were to fight him head-on, it would be better to just surrender and admit defeat.
While these two people disliked each other, they had to cooperate.
Because what Li Chengqian owns is, to a certain extent, a combination of these two people.
He not only has prestige in the army, but also has prestige in Liangzhou, just like Li Ke in Shu.
Similarly, he not only had connections in the court, but also obtained part of the family's resources through marriage and other methods, which was similar to Li Tai now.
Therefore, only when the two of them join forces can they have the strength to fight Li Chengqian.
Otherwise, they will only be defeated one by one by Li Chengqian.
Li Tai thought for a while, and then said: "Don't all the things that can be done on the stage start with the failure to do so?"
"This guy's current influence is terrifying. We can only start from this aspect."
Li Tai looked at Li Ke and said: "Whether you want to cooperate or not is your business. If you don't want to, I will go alone."
Hearing this, Li Ke smiled softly and said: "We have agreed to cooperate, how can I let you go alone?"
