Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 470 Disposal
Soon, under the floor tiles of Li Cheng's bedroom, another box was dug up and buried extremely secretly.Inside were some personal belongings, as well as several letters. The letters were not addressed or signed.But it was obviously difficult for the detective masters of "Hundred Riders". After a few people verified and discussed with each other, they came to a conclusion.

The paper used in the book is of excellent quality, tough and moisturizing, smooth but not slippery, white and dense, and pure in texture. It is the first-class Xuanzhou paper, and the annual output is extremely limited. have to.

Xuan paper "started in the Tang Dynasty and was produced in Jing County". Because Jing County was under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, it was named Xuan paper because of the place.Some people have used rice paper for painting and calligraphy for a long time, but the prosperity of the name of rice paper began in the middle Tang Dynasty, and then became famous all over the world.Therefore, rice paper in this period was not very popular, but people who knew the inside story knew that Prince Li Chengqian liked this kind of paper the most...

This alone, naturally cannot point the object of suspicion to the prince.

But then, in the content of one of the letters, a title was found - out of the dust...

The letter said that after Li Chengshi became successful, he could go to look for this person called "Chen Chen", and he would naturally meet his cousin and his family, and then someone would arrange for his family to stay away from overseas.

The efficiency of "Hundred Riders" is amazing, but just a few hours after His Majesty Li Er returned to the Taiji Palace with a gloomy face, he has already found out the identity of this "Chen Chen", who is a member of the Xuandu Temple in Chongye Square. Taoist priest, it is rumored that this humane method is profound, and it can dispel evil spirits with talisman paper, and it is very famous.

This Taoist priest, along with Wei Lingfu, another fellow apprentice brother, were the guests of the Crown Prince.

At the same time, the "Hundred Riders" also discovered an unexpected thing. There was a music boy in Taichang Temple, who was called a happy boy, beautiful in appearance, good at singing and dancing.

After the investigation, no one dared to continue the investigation. It involves the secrets of the royal family, who dares to make a mistake?If you accidentally find out something even more filthy, not only will the royal family lose face, but also those who investigate the case will have nothing to do. It is difficult to guarantee that the furious His Majesty Li Er will not cut them all down to vent their anger.

Although there is no evidence that clearly indicates that Li Chengcheng was held hostage by the prince, so he framed Li Tai, the king of Wei, but it was enough.

Next, it depends on His Majesty's heart.

If you continue to trust the prince, then the matter will naturally end here, and all these evidences will be destroyed.

If he is extremely disappointed with the prince, then the emperor must let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple take over, give a dignified trial, and then depose the prince.After all, the "Hundred Horses" are only the emperor's personal minions, and naturally they cannot pursue the prince's case on the bright side. Otherwise, once this case is opened, the "Hundred Horses" will surely become an existence outside the Tang system, which is not a good thing.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the investigation scrolls in front of him, his brows furrowed and his stomach full of depression.

If Li Cheng was alone, no matter what evidence he found, His Majesty Li Er would not believe the authenticity of this matter. He might even wonder if King Wei Li Tai directed a bitter drama to frame the crown prince... …

However, as more and more people were dug up, His Majesty Li Er had to believe it.

The Taoist priest of Xuanduguan came out of the dust, and the lay name was Qin Ying. Together with his junior brother Wei Lingfu, he was enshrined by the prince, and he often met in the East Palace to open an altar for the prince.As for what altar to open and what law to do?His Majesty Li Er is not willing to take care of it, nor dare to take care of it...

The most important thing is that another person who appeared in this list, the music boy of Taichang Temple, is very happy.

Taichang Temple, Zhangling Temple group worship, ritual and music ritual system, is the highest administrative organ in charge of ritual and music.And the music boy of Taichang Temple, his status is equivalent to an actor...

"Hundred Riders" found that this Satisfaction often went out of the East Palace, and every time he was picked up by the prince's frame, the relationship between the person and the prince was naturally self-evident.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, wealthy people liked masculinity, not a shameful scandal, but complacent, and gradually became a trend, which attracted countless scholars and literati to imitate it, which was spectacular.His Majesty Li Er is not a Taoist teacher. For such customs, it is only a personal preference and has nothing to do with the stability of the country. Naturally, he is too lazy to care about them.

However, as the crown prince of the country, the crown prince placed the concubines and concubines of the East Palace, who were like flowers and jade, and did not favor him or spread branches and leaves for the empire, which made him angry. The key is that the status of the prince is different. If the prince does this, it may affect the atmosphere of the whole country.

His Majesty Li Er could not bear it.

But he was already having a hard time deciding how to deal with the prince...

His Majesty Li Er has a strong character. At that time, he realized that as his military exploits became more and more prominent, the ministers in the court became more and more inclined to be with him, and the hidden prince Li Jiancheng became more and more suspicious of himself. Of course, he also found that His ambitions have become bigger and bigger, and it is gradually unstoppable... Once Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, he will probably face a glass of poisonous wine or three feet of white silk, so he immediately launches violent methods, even if he is burdened with killing his brother and killing his brother. His notoriety, he also blatantly launched the Xuanwu Gate change, and then forced his father to re-establish himself as the crown prince. Soon after, he held his father again, abdicated to let the virtuous, and ascended the throne himself.

Decisiveness in killing is his most proud characteristic, but now, this decision is really difficult.

Dethrone the prince?
This is actually very simple, even if Li Tai is established as the crown prince, it will be a breeze.This confidence comes from his control of the court situation. He firmly believes that as long as his own attitude is firmed, even the most important ministers who are most opposed to Yi Chu have to accept the new prince honestly.

But the bad consequences of doing so had to make His Majesty Li Er hesitated...

His own throne came through a coup, and if the next emperor is still not a direct descendant, then it is likely that this tradition will be deeply ingrained among his descendants.The throne can be sought or even fought for, but who would honestly hold the old Huang Li, who ascended the throne, and watch others become emperor?

It is impossible to say that every subsequent change of imperial power in the Tang Dynasty will be accompanied by intrigues and bloodshed, and this will greatly shake the country's capital, which is definitely not what His Majesty Li Er wants.

Could it be that the prince was allowed to frame his brother like this?
Of course not!
If you are not deposed, you are already lucky to invite heaven, do you still want to do anything?

So, His Majesty Li Er summoned Fang Xuanling into the palace and informed him of the cause and effect of the matter and his decision.Although he did not have the same unreserved trust in Fang Xuanling as Zhangsun Wuji, he never concealed such royal secrets.

Fang Xuanling's temperament determines that he will be a pure minister, and he is absolutely worthy of trust.

The only difference is the identity of Zhangsun Wuji, the grandfather of the country...

*****
In the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian heard Fang Xuanling recount what happened in the Wei Palace. He opened his mouth and looked sluggish, as if he had been struck by an innocent thunder, and he did not recover for a long time.After a long while, Li Chengqian suddenly jumped three feet high and yelled, "It's ridiculous! How could Gu have done such a thing? For the past few days, I have been living in isolation, asking teachers for my studies, but I have never arranged anyone to go and kidnap the relatives and relatives of the servants in the palace of Wei Wang. , this is really framed and framed, it must be the thief Qingque shouting to catch the thief, staged a bitter trick to show the father, so I want to go to the father, ask the father to return the innocence!"

Really sit at home behind closed doors, disaster comes from heaven!

Fang Xuanling really didn't believe him when he separated himself like this: "Is your Highness really wronged? That's what you want, can you be in the East Palace now?"

Li Chengqian's face changed instantly, and he was silent...

Kong Yingda raised his eyelids, glanced at Li Chengqian, who was blushing, and sighed slightly.Henry Zhang said angrily: "You are the prince, how can you learn the dirty behavior in the market? You have been enlightened since childhood, have you forgotten the books of sages and sages that you have spent over the years? It's ridiculous!"

His outspoken rebuke made Li Chengqian more and more embarrassed.

Fang Xuanling sighed and persuaded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is different from others, but he is the heir of the country. His words and deeds are watched by countless people. A slight error will bring unexpected trouble. Your Majesty has already ordered the old minister. I brought the princes and princes from the palace, and came to arrest Satisfaction, you order someone to bring out that Satisfaction..."
