This captain was young, with a tall and straight figure in armor. He came to Changsun Wuji and stood at attention and saluted: "The last general Zuo Yi is guarding the captain Sun Renshi..."
Changsun Wuji didn't have the patience to listen to his self-registered number. He waved his hands impatiently and said displeased: "But a lieutenant colonel in the First Army, what qualifications do you have to protect your name in front of me? Please tell me clearly what happened to the two princes."
You can’t hide anything.”
"...Here."
Sun Renshi took a breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said quickly: "At three o'clock tonight, someone discovered that both the Bohai Palace and the Longxi Palace were on fire. The troops stationed outside the square immediately broke into the square to put out the fire. Later, they discovered that the Bohai Palace was on fire.
The Prince of Longxi and the Prince of Longxi were both assassinated in the bedroom. They were already dead. Their bodies were burned to varying degrees, but their identities could still be identified. Although the scene was burned by fire, it was still possible to tell that they had experienced something before.
Search and search..."
He was eloquent and told what happened in detail. They were all based on what was discovered at the scene and did not include his own subjective speculations.
Feeling Changsun Wuji's contempt for him, he would not humiliate himself...
Changsun Wuji frowned and listened. When Master Sun Ren finished speaking, he grasped the key point and asked: "Who ordered the troops stationed outside the square to enter the square to put out the fire?"
The purpose of raising troops this time was to depose the prince and bring order to the chaos. He repeatedly emphasized that it was just "military remonstrance" and was definitely not a rebellion. Therefore, although the Guanlong army entered Chang'an City and stationed in Chang'an City, and fought successive battles with the sixth leader of the East Palace, Changsun Wuji strictly restrained the army from disturbing the people.
Without military orders, soldiers are not allowed to enter any place without permission.
Otherwise, there would already be refugees everywhere in Chang'an right now, and the people would drag their families and families into exile outside the customs...
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there is a fire inside the square, the troops outside the square are not allowed to enter the square without clear orders.
Master Sun Ren shook his head and said: "The general has asked several military commanders and received no orders. He only entered the square to put out the fire without permission because he saw that the fire was quite large and was afraid that it would spread to the entire square."
After a pause, he added: "The two palaces are divided into two inner squares. The two armies were stationed outside the square. After the fire broke out, they entered the square almost at the same time... The two military commanders have been controlled by the Military Justice Department.
One of them is a child of the Changsun family, and the other is a child of the Hou Mochen family."
Changsun Wuji rubbed his eyebrows and felt that his head was swollen.
This captain is a smart man, and his last words are the most important beginning of the whole thing...
He casually waved his hand and dismissed the captain. The deterioration of the situation made him feel so bad that he didn't even bother to say a word of praise.
It’s not like he is a descendant of Guanlong. It doesn’t matter whether he has the ability or not. After spending more than ten years in the army, even if he has no meritorious service, it is just a prejudice...
At this moment, he was completely sleepless. The deaths of Li Fengci and Li Boyi were obviously the result of "Baiqisi". Such a ruthless approach was not in line with the prince's character and style, but the effect on the East Palace was unexpectedly good -
—The entire royal family can feel this intimidation. Anyone who continues to flirt with Guan Long will have to consider whether the East Palace will attack them.
The old servant knew that he was not sleepy, so he made a pot of tea and brought two plates of snacks.
Changsun Wuji just took a sip of tea and wanted to think about how to reduce the impact of the assassination of the two princes as much as possible. Then he saw the clerk on duty knocking on the door and saying respectfully.
: "Informing the Duke of Zhao, the Duke of Ying and the Prince of Huaiyang came together to ask for an audience."
"Let them in."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand, and when the scribes left, he asked the old servant to make another pot of tea and put two teacups on the table. Yu Wenshiji and Li Daoming had already entered.
The two of them greeted each other and sat down respectively. Yu Wenshiji looked solemn: "Presumably the auxiliary officers already know the news about the assassination of King Bohai and King Longxi, right?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "I just found out."
Yu Wenshi asked: "Have you arranged for someone to investigate the scene and track down the murderer?"
Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Li Daoming on the side said impatiently: "Where is the need to investigate? The prince must have instigated the 'Baiqisi' to carry out this murder! In the evening, the King of Han summoned us to Zongzheng Temple.
After giving a warning, the two brothers, the King of Longxi and the King of Bohai, behaved disrespectfully and spoke rudely. As a result, they were assassinated and died at night...Who else could there be other than the prince?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at the prince who had no city government, and slowly took a sip of tea. However, he also admitted that there was no need to investigate this matter at all. It must have been done by the East Palace. And "Baiqisi" was responsible for such an assassination.
This can be described as killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. The hands and tail are naturally clean, and no clues can be found in the investigation.
Yu Wenshiji picked up the tea cup and said: "The princes do not need to be impatient. If the 'Baiqisi' is really responsible for the attack, there will be news that the two princes are guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy at the latest. At the same time, there will be news
There is evidence leaked out, and the East Palace wants to use such means to scare the kings. But we can refute it tit for tat, so why bother trying to accuse it? The evidence presented by the East Palace may not be true."
Although the method of secretly assassinating people is not common, it is not technically difficult, and you can see through it at a glance.
Moreover, in the evening the King of Han summoned all the kings to Zongzheng Temple and gave them a lecture. In the middle of the night, the King of Longxi and the King of Bohai were assassinated. The motive of the East Palace to "kill chickens to scare monkeys" was too obvious and too direct, and they did not even think of hiding it.
The purpose was to frighten the kings so that they would not dare to take refuge in Guanlong unscrupulously, causing the prince's reputation and righteousness to be affected.
After all, as a prince, without the support of the clan, he really lacks confidence and it is easy to follow the truth.
The same sentence "depose the prince" is one thing for the Guanlong clan to shout, but it is another thing for the clan kings to shout it. The meaning and impact are absolutely different...
However, Li Daoming had already fallen into anxiety and fear, and he did not care about etiquette at this moment. As soon as Yu Wenshiji finished speaking, he said quickly: "Is the key point about the evidence? No one cares about the bullshit evidence! The key point is that people are dead.
He was assassinated by "Hundred Cavalry" in his own mansion, on his bed! There were tens of thousands of troops in the city, and they came and went without a trace. It was like entering a deserted land, and they retreated calmly after the assassination! What does this mean? What does it mean?
When I get up tomorrow morning, the head on my neck may already be hanging on the Chengtian Gate!"
He vented his anger towards Yu Wenshiji, then turned to Changsun Wuji, with an extremely serious look on his face: "We all took refuge in you, Lord Zhao, and that's why we were hated by the prince, and then we encountered vicious hands. The dignified prince was treated like a dolphin or a dog.
Killing! Mr. Zhao, how do you plan to give us an explanation for this matter?"
The prince has always shown himself to be "kind" and "cowardly" in front of others. He is a "little sheep" who can bully the prince as much as he wants among the royal family and the court. Although he goes too far and offends the prince.
I was unhappy, but I didn't take it seriously.
If we are unhappy, what can you do to us?
The weak Crown Prince may not even dare to kill a chicken...
However, the prince's fierce reaction was completely unexpected. This soft "little sheep" suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a pair of fangs...
This is a bit scary.
Everyone loves to bully honest people, because the consequences are really pitiful. But everyone also knows that honest people can also get angry. Once the limit is exceeded, the anger that an honest person bursts out is enough to destroy the world, and they don't even think about it.
as a result of!
Obviously, the prince is now in a hurry.
Before the prince could act impatiently, the kings of the clan were pressing forward step by step, all thinking of deposing the prince and replacing him with King Qi. From now on, everyone had their support, and their power and status were not the same as before. Now.
The prince became anxious, and the kings of the clan noticed that the sheep had turned into tigers, and they all had numb claws...
Changsun Wuji was not angry because of Li Daoming's bossy. The Huaiyang King was famous for being reckless, violent and brainless in the clan. He was frightened out of his wits by the assassination methods of the East Palace. It is understandable that there was some disrespect in his words.
He held the tea cup and drank tea, and said calmly: "It's simple. I will send the elite of the army to station in each prince's palace and be on duty day and night to ensure the safety of the princes. No matter how powerful the 'Baiqisi' is, it is impossible for him to do so.
Countless soldiers act recklessly with their eyes down low."
No matter how stupid Li Daoming is, he is also a little dumbfounded at this moment.
Guanlong troops stationed in the palace, is this to protect security or is it full house arrest?
Even though he has never been on the battlefield, it has not been long since his family conquered the world and founded the country, so he still has some experience. He understands that the reason why Guan Long is tolerant to the kings of the clan and has promised countless benefits is because the kings of the clan still have some use.
value. But once Guanlong is defeated, this value will be instantly wiped out, and the clan kings will be transformed from allies into hostages.
That's the difference between one step to heaven and one step to earth...
