"General Liu, can we use some together?" Li Chengqian, who was sitting on the bed, waved the silver knife skillfully and invited Liu Yuan. He injured his leg, but his hand was fine. A eunuch placed a small table on Hu's bed, and Li Chengqian used soft pillows to support his back, so that he could eat easily on Hu's bed. He used it skillfully The small silver knife cut off pieces of roasted lamb, some were put directly in the mouth and chewed, and some were dipped in some sauce and eaten. The mouth was full of oil after eating, which looked very heroic and a bit like the style of nomads outside the Great Wall. Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Thank you, but I just used it, and now it can be regarded as carrying out official duties. Prince, please do it yourself." After saying that, Liu Yuan couldn't help but said: "The prince is really heroic." I didn't expect the prince of the Tang Dynasty. , who likes to dine like this, Liu Yuan can't help but think of the historical records of this tragic prince, saying that he liked Hu Feng and especially worshiped Turkic culture. After he contracted foot disease, his temperament changed drastically and became even more ridiculous. He even pretended to be When he died, he asked his subordinates to "bury" him in the same way as the burial of Turkic nobles. He also asked his subordinates to wrestle and charge like Turkic warriors. If they didn't obey, they would be tied up and whipped. It is said that up to twelve people were beaten to death at one time, and they also made false promises in front of their subordinates. When the news came out that he had taken refuge with the Turkic King, Li Er was naturally very angry. What he is imitating now is probably the Turkic way of eating. Liu Yuan is a little confused. Li Chengqian was so depressed just now. Logically speaking, a person with a depressed mood should have a poor appetite. Unexpectedly, his appetite is so good now. , his thinking cannot be guessed by ordinary people. It is obvious that what he longs for in his heart is the more extensive nomadic life. "Really?" I heard Liu Yuan praise. Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and there was a smile on his face. After receiving Liu Yuan's affirmative answer, Zi Gu smiled and said: "I feel that eating like this makes me more masculine." As expected, no one is perfect, and Li Chengqian, who was born with a golden spoon, also has his own shortcomings. , Liu Yuan really sympathized with him for a moment. This Li Chengqian didn't know that the most glorious time of his life had passed. What accompanied him throughout this life was only pain, disappointment, and then a road of no return. No wonder King Li Tai of Wei was determined to fight secretly, indeed. Li Chengqian's personality charm is not as good as that of Li Tai, these are his flaws. Seeing that Li Chengqian was eating so well, Liu Yuan did not bother him. After saying goodbye to Li Chengqian, he took out the jade pendant Li Er gave him and walked straight to the imperial dining room. ?¡ for five days in a row. Liu Yuan went out early every day and came back late every day to investigate the mystery of the prince's fall from his horse. He checked the source report of the horse, looked through the case records of the interrogation of the suspect, and even went to the place where Li Chengqian fell from the horse to check twice. Anyway, I am very busy. "Don't dare to neglect, the emperor is watching, the ministers are paying attention, and even the people of the Tang Dynasty are waiting anxiously. Just wait until you come up with a convincing investigation report. On the sixth day, Liu Yuan conducted his first intelligence gathering in a secret room in Dali Temple. "Okay, let's summarize now. Please report the harvest of the past few days one by one." Liu Yuan sat in the middle and began to ask questions to his subordinates. Liu Yuan understands the principle of "three monks have no water to drink". According to the different characteristics of each of them, they are looking for clues. The time has almost passed. It is time to report the progress so that they can formulate the next plan. Tang Dashan was in charge of searching the scene. He was the first to stand up and said: "General, I have checked the place where the prince fell from the horse many times, including the departure route. There is nothing wrong. I also checked the place where the prince fell from the horse. We searched all over the thirty-foot radius, and there were no traps or anything suspicious. The hunters nearby said that there were no large beasts within the thirty-mile radius, and there was no strange smell nearby. It can be said that nothing was found. " Liu Yuan nodded and asked Guan Yong, "Guan Yong, where did you find anything?" "Back to the general, the horse the prince was riding that day is named Zidian. This horse came from Wanqing Ranch in Liangzhou. My subordinates are investigating. According to the information, this horse is about six years old. When it was in service, because of its well-proportioned body and good appearance, it was classified as a special care horse when it was less than one year old. At the age of four, it was presented to Taipu Temple as tribute, and was ridden by the subordinates of Taipu Temple. The driver was responsible for training and selecting, and finally delivered it to the East Palace for the prince to ride. This horse is fast, durable, and gentle in temperament. There has never been a record of kicking or biting people. The driver who was responsible for training the horse back then The scholar still remembered it, saying that it had been tamed in less than a quarter of an hour. He still remembered it and was very surprised when he heard that Zidian was out of control. "What did the people from Taipu Temple say?" Liu continued to ask. . Taipu Temple, one of the nine temples, is the place where horses and chariots are controlled. It is in charge of stables and chariots, and commands the four offices of Chenghuang, Dianwu, Dianmu, and Chafu. All matters related to horses in the palace are Provided by Taipu Temple. Among the past dynasties, the Taipu Temple in the Tang Dynasty had the widest control. The rank of Taipu Qing was "from the third grade", just like the rank in the palace.Every horse has its mark, which is recorded in a book for easy reference at any time. Now that the prince fell from the horse, it was because the horse suddenly lost control and fell to the ground. Naturally, we started to investigate from the source. ¡°I guess the current Taipusi Shaoqing is already restless. Guan Yong said loudly: "After consulting the records of Taipus Temple, as the prince's horse, Zidian has undergone a series of training before being delivered to the East Palace, such as fright, water and fire escape, hunger, whip and other tests. Each of them They are all excellent, and they don't know why Zidian suddenly lost control. His subordinates also rode it in the downtown area and the countryside for two days without any problems. "The life of the emperor's family is precious, and the horse he rides on it is also precious. With such care, in fact, if you think about it, Taichang Temple is responsible for the state's sacrifices to heaven and the country, and manages court music, doctors, and fortune-tellers; Guanglu Temple is responsible for preparing wine and food for the palace banquets; Weiwei Temple is responsible for managing the palace's weapons depot. Guards of honor; Zongzheng Temple, manages the genealogies of the royal family, clans, and relatives, and protects the royal mausoleums; Taipu Temple, manages the palace stables, national pastures, and garages, and enshrines the emperor's good fortune. Five of the nine temples clearly serve the emperor's family. The terms and conditions ranged from vocal music, banquets and food, guards, carriages and horses, and even the emperor's relatives had dedicated personnel to take care of them. No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor so much. Liu Yuan remained calm, turned to Yue Chong and nodded. Yue Chong immediately sorted out the pile and said, "General, you need to collect medical cases. They have been sorted out. Please check them." The last Hou Junhe Yuchi Baoqing, they are responsible for interrogating the guards, grooms and others around the prince, and their task is also the heaviest. Hou Jun stood up, handed a stack of files to Liu Yuan, and said with a wry smile: "General, at the beginning of the inquiry, there were no valuable clues at all. Later, I adopted your method and tired them out. Then they kept interrogating and interrogating again and again. They asked them to go back and forth about one thing. Unexpectedly, there were some discrepancies. After further interrogation, they found out some information. " "What, find the suspicious person. After hearing this, Guan Yong immediately asked excitedly. The emperor personally ordered this matter, and he is directly responsible for it. This is an opportunity to show up. Everyone works very hard to become familiar with the emperor. If anything good happens then, they will think of themselves first. When they hear about it, they will think of themselves first. Harvest, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. Hou Jun smiled bitterly and said: "You can ask the general about these things, I won't tell you." Liu Yuan took the files and flipped through them page by page. It¡¯s hard to laugh or cry, the prince is like a piece of cake, everyone wants to take a bite. Li Chengqian has fifty personal guards. Among these fifty people, two people from Wei Wang Li Tai and one person from Shu Wang Li Min were dug out. Even Li Er arranged an informant beside him. In addition, there were five guards who accepted the benefits of other princes and ministers and betrayed the prince's information. It was full of chaos. Brothers monitor each other, and even I am not willing to be alone. Other princes, ministers, and famous families also come to join in the fun, hoping to get benefits from Li Chengqian. From this, we can see the fierceness of the officialdom fight. In order to achieve their goals, they will do anything. No wonder Hou Jun didn't dare to say it out loud. When this happened, he just smiled bitterly. Liu Yuan really wants to say something: Your circle is really chaotic. It took about two-quarters of an hour, Liu Yuan browsed it quickly, and then closed the file with a bitter look on his face. "General, what's suspicious?" Hou Jun refused to say, so Guan Yong had to ask Liu Yuan. Tang Dashan and Yue Chong looked at Liu Yuan like two curious babies, their eyes full of curiosity. Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "Okay, don't read it or ask about it. The less you know about these things, the safer it will be." "Oh, my subordinates know it." Guan Yong is not an idiot, and he didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. ask. "Hou Jun" Liu Yuan patted the stack of files and said, "You can dig out these people even if they are buried so deep, right?" Li Chengqian is not a fool. He knows that he is a target in the eyes of many people. His personal bodyguards must have been carefully selected and he would not let the enemy ambush him. Even if he did not take action, the forces that depended on him would be more careful. Even so, there are still people hiding so deeply, and these lurking people People are definitely not easy to find, and Hou Jun must have used extraordinary means to dig out so many things at once. Liu Yuan was really afraid that something would happen to him. Hou Jun and Yuchi Baoqing looked at each other. Yuchi Baoqing lowered his head, while Hou Jun said with some embarrassment: "These people have very tight-lipped mouths. It took a lot of effort to trick them out. Use After learning the methods of judging people taught by the weapons of the world, one is stupid, one is disabled, and the other has some flesh wounds. " "What? One is stupid and the other is disabled? Liu Yuan waved his hand feebly and said: "Okay, I will know. ¡± They are really capable. Even the prince¡¯s personal bodyguard dares to do something to his death. Needless to say, he has to shoulder the blame. As a good officer, in addition to having the courage to take the lead, he must also dare to take the blame. If everything is blamed on his subordinates, Who would dare to sacrifice his life for him in the future? He wanted to investigate the matter of falling from the horse, but unexpectedly dug out a few traces of information. Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, is this what you reap? PS: Please give me more. Support, thank you~
