Li Tai's lips trembled and he stared at the chopped pastries on the table beside him.
Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "It is obvious that someone intends to poison your two highnesses."
Although he was in fear, Li Tai almost laughed angrily at these words. He stared at Fang Jun and asked: "Don't I have eyes that can't see these poisonous cakes? The question is who poisoned him and who
And this hatred that wants the two brothers to die, and who can do this poisoning in the heavily guarded Youtunwei camp?"
As Li Zhi said before, the life and death of the two brothers is directly related to the prestige and reputation of the prince. Fang Jun must send extra guards to protect their safety. With such a focus on guarding, they are also in the heavily guarded Youtun Guards Camp.
Besides Fang Jun, who has the energy to fight like this?
As for the chamberlain, Li Tai has been with him for many years. Just from the fact that he has to be taken with him even when he is under house arrest, you can see how much he trusts him...
Fang Jun explained: "Someone kidnapped Yu Suigu, the son-in-law of Princess Fangling, and wanted to put the blame on me, but I found out, so I teamed up with the 'Baiqisi' to investigate and uprooted a group of thieves. At the same time, we discovered many
When the eunuch chamberlain got involved, he knew that the matter was serious. After interrogating them one by one, they got a lot of secrets. Some of them confessed that they wanted to do harm to the two highnesses. Although the ministers had already sent people to strengthen the protection of the two highnesses, they did not dare to trust the big officials.
, so I came to check it out in person. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise the consequences at this moment would be disastrous."
This is half true and half false, and it sounds completely flawless.
But precisely because the logic is too rigorous, it makes people feel that it is too coincidental...
Li Tai looked at Fang Jun with sideways eyes: "Oh, in other words, the chamberlain who has been with me for more than ten years is an accomplice of those thieves, and he wants to poison me and put the blame on you?"
Fang Jun nodded: "That's exactly it."
The timid Li Zhi was frightened before, but now he calmed down, rubbed his face, and managed to keep his voice steady: "If the prince brother can't tolerate us, just tell him face to face, and I will commit suicide to stabilize his throne."
If you kill yourself with a sword, it's just three feet of white silk, so what's the problem? But it's too painful after taking the medicine that triggers the situation. I'm afraid of the pain and can't bear it."
Li Tai's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The prince wants to get rid of us, and we have nothing to say. No matter why you stopped Erlang, we two brothers appreciate it. From now on, whether life or death, we will have no complaints. But please
For the sake of past friendship, let me tell you, what happened to the leader? With the character of the prince, he would definitely not do such a crazy thing, and your second wife is not an unscrupulous person."
Fang Jun ignored the two men and said to the soldiers behind him: "Go to Baiqisi to hire two torture experts. You must pry open the mouth of the servant. I want to know who instigated it!"
"Here!"
The soldiers took the order, turned around and left quickly.
Li Tai and Li Zhi were both smart people, and they immediately thought they understood what was going on. Li Zhi felt relieved and asked, "Did someone sneak into the Youtun Guards to poison us in order to frame the crown prince?"
Li Tai also wiped his hands with cold sweat. As long as the prince could not tolerate them, then everything would be fine. Even if others have the intention to harm them, they just need to be more vigilant and pay attention everywhere. It doesn't think it will be a big deal. He grew up in the palace since he was a child and has seen it.
, I have heard of it, and even experienced it, and I am already a little numb to this kind of thing...
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and simply sat down in front of the two of them. He touched the short mustache on his lips and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Don't worry, you two. The prince has not had enough time to take care of you. I'm afraid you may lose a hair.
How can you bear to harm him? You know his temper better than Wei Chen. Even if you know that forcing the two of you to death will make your position more stable, you still don't have the courage to kill him decisively."
Li Tai laughed angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "Listen to what you mean, my two brothers are really worthy of death. It is only right for the prince to kill us? I always thought that your second roommate was a man with both civil and military skills and a good reputation.
Jiyue's character turns out to be a traitor!"
Fang Jun was speechless: "Where did your words go? You two are in the Youtun Guards. If I had really thought about that, how could you have survived to this day? How could you still be sarcastic in front of me? Believe it or not?
The strong wind tonight broke the flagpole and collapsed the tent, and it happened to hit His Highness on the head?"
Li Tai quickly shut up. As Fang Jun said, they are now on the chopping block. As long as Fang Jun has evil intentions, there can be a hundred ways to make their brother die, and no one will be able to find out afterwards...
When people are under the eaves, bowing their heads happily is the right way.
Li Zhi was still confused and confused, thinking about it over and over again, and couldn't help but ask: "I believe in my brother-in-law and the prince, but this is the medicine that can lead to trouble..."
Halfway through the words, the meaning has been revealed.
The trigger medicine is the most poisonous in the world. It seals the throat with blood and has no cure. It is actually a good medicine that is necessary to kill people and silence them. I usually prepare some and it is easy to use... But the preparation process of this kind of poison is very cumbersome.
, requires a very high level of craftsmanship, and it is difficult for ordinary people to prepare it even if they know the formula. Therefore, there are not many places in the world where this poison is hidden, and the palace where the most famous doctors in the world are gathered is exactly one of them.
In fact, many people whose deaths are doubtful in the history books were probably poisoned by drug-induced drugs, and among them, those in the imperial palace were the most...
How could His Majesty Li Er carry this medicine with him when he personally went to Liaodong? What's more, he has already died in the army, and the only one left who can get this medicine in the palace is the prince.
So no matter what Fang Jun said, the thoughtful Li Zhi still thought it was the prince who committed the murder, but for some reason Fang Jun suddenly appeared to stop him...
Gu/span He firmly believes that this is the truth.
Fang Jun didn't know what he was thinking. He glanced at the two people's faces and said quietly: "This medicine is not only available to the prince. There are many in the palace, such as the favored chamberlains around your majesty."
Li Tai and Li Zhi looked at each other again and saw that each other looked very ugly. Although they did not know the detailed background of their father, they had lived in the palace for many years as favored princes. How could they deal with the mysterious power around their father?
Not aware at all?
Li Zhi asked tentatively: "You said before that there were some servants among the thieves who kidnapped Aunt Fangling..."
Fang Jun nodded.
Li Zhi was speechless.
The three of them seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment. They walked quickly outside the tent, and a soldier quickly entered and reported: "Commander Qi, the servant who was just captured has bitten the poison hidden in his collar and swallowed it before he could be executed."
Committed suicide."
"boom!"
Without saying a word, Fang Jun first stood up and kicked the soldiers away, and then cursed angrily: "A bunch of trash! This person wanted to poison the prince, and he was very involved. Now that he is dead, it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes, and the impact will be very bad."
, I wish I could kill you all!"
The soldier struggled to get up from the ground, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and trembled all over, not daring to speak.
Li Tai and Li Zhi's eyes moved, first they looked at each other, and then they all turned their gazes on Fang Jun in unison: "Let's act, we brothers will just watch like this. Anyway, there is no proof, so it's not just what you say?"
Fang Jun seemed to realize this, his face was livid, and he was furious.
Another person ran very fast outside the tent, and then rushed directly into the tent. Before Fang Jun could say anything to yell, the person knelt down on one knee and said, dripping with sweat: "Commander, Your Majesty... His Majesty is back!"
There was silence in the tent. Li Tai and Li Zhi seemed to have been struck by thunder, their ears buzzed, and they opened their mouths wide but could not make any sound.
The scout felt that he had become the target of public criticism, swallowed his saliva, and said quickly: "This is absolutely true. His Majesty appeared on the bank of Ba River. The dragon is in good health. He has joined the British Duke, His Royal Highness, and rushed to Chunming Gate. He is about to
Back to the city!"
…
Fang Jun had already withdrawn with his own soldiers, and all the soldiers and horses were mobilized to respond. However, Li Tai and Li Zhi inside the tent were pale, sitting there in a daze, sweating, and shivering all over.
Is there any hint of surprise that the emperor "comes back to life"?
After a long time, Li Zhi asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Qingque, you said... can it be true?"
Li Tai wiped the sweat from his face and exhaled a long breath, but his hands were still trembling. He wanted to squeeze out a smile to comfort his brother, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and failed in the end. With a sad face, he said solemnly:
"It should...it can't be true. Father loves us two so much, how could he do such a thing? It must be like what Fang Er said, someone stole the medicine and wanted to frame the two of us with our lives.
If you give it to the prince, his heart will be punished!"
It was previously heard that the chamberlain committed suicide by poisoning, but there was no evidence of the death. The two brothers believed that it was Fang Er who was the cause of the murder. They suspected that they were people close to their father and wanted to harm them, so they poisoned them and framed the blame on the prince.
But now that the father is back, things suddenly become different.
The two of them can be regarded as outstanding figures in the world. In particular, their understanding of politics, which they have been exposed to since childhood, is extremely profound, far beyond ordinary people. They have excellent talents in this area. Although their father received a good job, he has avoided them since the day of the withdrawal of troops from Liaodong.
No one is seen, his whereabouts are hidden, and the Guanlong rebels are allowed to wreak havoc in Chang'an, giving people the illusion that "the emperor has died." Its true intention is self-evident - to sit back and watch Guanlong destroy the East Palace, depose the prince, and then lead the troops back to Beijing to arrive at the capital.
Chaos.
At that time, Yi Chu's goal was achieved through Guan Long's hands, and Guan Long was arrested on the charge of "rebellious ministers and traitors", so that all the central power was returned to the emperor, and the stability of imperial power reached its peak after the Han Dynasty.
Especially when the Guanlong clan clans were allowed to transfer the private armies supported by many clan clans in Hedong, Hexi, Central Plains and other places into Guanzhong, and then catch them all in one fell swoop, the control of local clans who lost their private armies fell to an unprecedented low, and they were no longer able to resist the imperial court.
Appoint officials to manage the place.
After thinking about it carefully, all the doubts have been perfectly answered, and the truth about Li Ji's unbelievable actions in the past has become clear. They were all based on the instructions of his father.
However, in the end, the prince remained firmly seated, causing all his father's plans to fail to come to fruition...
