- In the guest room, Princess Taiping had a gloomy face and drank the tea on the table in silence. Although more than half a month had passed since the assassination of Wu Youning, the thorn in Princess Taiping's heart seemed to have taken root, especially from yesterday. Some close eunuchs in the palace learned that her mother actually attributed the incident to her, which made Princess Taiping even more intolerable.
Of course Princess Taiping knew the seriousness of this matter. Her mother spent nearly ten years cultivating Wu Youning, hoping that he could become the heir to the Wu dynasty. However, he was ruined at the last moment. The hatred in her mother's heart was by no means two things in one day. Heaven can eliminate it and even affect it for many years. In other words, my impression and status in my mother's heart have been completely destroyed.
¡°If she doesn¡¯t find the real culprit and clear up her grievances, her future will be dark.
Princess Taiping stayed up almost all night last night, thinking about this matter repeatedly. She became more and more suspicious that it was her brother Wang who did it. It was either Li Dan or Li Xian. It was unlikely that it was someone else.
Of course, Princess Taiping once suspected that Li Zhen was responsible for this matter, but she also knew that Li Zhen was no longer the former commander of the inner guard and would not take action easily. In addition, Zhang Li repeatedly assured that this matter was related to Li Zhen. It didn't matter, she just believed that Li Zhen didn't interfere in this matter.
¡° Then apart from her two brothers, it is almost impossible for anyone else to do it. Even if it was the Guanlong noble of Chang¡¯an, it must be related to the two brothers.
At this time, Li Dan quickly walked up to the lobby and said with a smile: "What kind of fragrant wind brought Xianmei here? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Huh! Brother has so many things to do and is busy all day long, how can he think about my little sister?" Princess Taiping said with a pun.
Li Dan knew in his heart, he smiled bitterly, seeing that incident made her angry, and began to doubt him, but Li Dan's heart was like a mirror, he could not admit this matter no matter what, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, even if it was his own My biological sister will not let her go either.
Li Dan sat down and asked the maid to serve tea again. He sighed slightly and said, "Xianmei is right. I have been worrying about the affairs of the Seven Ministers of the Political Affairs Hall. During this period, I didn't sleep well every night. In the end, , Huan Yanfan, whom I recommend, still has little hope, and Xianmei seems to be the same.¡±
Princess Taiping didn¡¯t expect that he would involve the Prime Minister¡¯s affairs, and she was a little shaken. Could it be that this matter was not caused by her brother?
At this time, the maid came up to change the tea for them, and then slowly retreated. Only the two brothers and sisters were left in the lobby. Princess Taiping originally came to ask questions, but now she was shaken. It would be better if she had an attack for no reason, so He said coldly: "Brother, please tell me the truth. Was Wu Youning's assassination the result of my brother?"
¡°So it¡¯s because of this incident. It¡¯s been so long, why does Xianmei still care about it?¡± Li Dan said with a faint smile.
"You are pretending to be confused!"
Princess Taiping finally broke out. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "You clearly know the seriousness of this matter. Even if my mother has not spared me for the past ten years, now my mother believes that it is me. What do you want me to do? Brother, Did you do it?"
Princess Taiping was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she glared at Li Dan fiercely, as if she was an angry lioness trying to devour him.
Li Dan did not look into Princess Taiping's eyes. He remained as calm as water. After a long time, he slowly said: "Wu Youning's assassination is a great thing for the Li royal family. It ensures that we still have hope of restoration. However, Xianmei Now that it¡¯s been determined that I did it, I have no choice but to prove that I didn¡¯t do it.¡±
"Then please promise me that you are not involved in this matter!"
Li Dan smiled and said, "How can I guarantee that I did participate? My people were also in Shuangqiao Town at that time. The situation was very chaotic. They came back and said that they started too late. Did Xianmei really stand by and watch?"
"you¡ª¡ª"
Princess Taiping was so angry that she spoke out. She held back her anger for a while and said, "Who do you think brother did?"
"I have no idea!"
Li Dan slowly shook his head, "I believe that no one will admit that he did it. Sister Xian, this matter is already an open case, why do you need to insist on it?"
"I'm not willing to accept it. I can't take the blame. My mother thinks it was me. If it's really me, that's fine. I didn't do it. I don't want to bear such serious consequences. I have to find out the real culprit. Before my mother Clear your grievances before you.¡±
Li Dan originally thought that if she pushed him into a hurry, he would just admit it, but after hearing her last words, Li Dan suddenly became vigilant. He must not admit it, otherwise his mother would investigate and he would not be able to bear the consequences. rise.
Li Dan pondered for a while and said: "Since it was not Xianmei's fault, then why didn't Xianmei make it clear to her mother? I believe her mother was involved.If you are capable, you will not put the responsibility on Xianmei. "
"What do you want me to say, how can I prove that it's not me? Mother will ask, if it's not you, who could it be? How do you want me to answer, am I saying that it was two royal brothers who did it?"
Princess Taiping let out a long breath, "I have to find the real culprit in this matter before I can go to my mother to clear my name. Otherwise, the story will only get darker and darker."
"Then Brother Yu can't help you, Sister Xian, I'm really sorry!"
Princess Taiping bit her lips and said slowly: "To assassinate Wu Youning, most people would kill him directly instead of just seriously injuring him. Obviously only I would do this. This assassin must be putting the blame on me, or out of revenge. , maybe because of what happened three years ago.¡±
Li Dan understood what his sister was talking about. Three years ago, Zhang Jingxiong was assassinated, which eventually led to the murder of Li Chongrun. Princess Taiping framed the blame on the King of Luling. Now that she herself was framed, she thought It was the King of Luling who took revenge on her.
Li Dan shook his head, "Brother is not that kind of person. He is not in good health. Besides, he can't make the decision at all in the affairs of the palace."
Princess Taiping gritted her teeth and said, "I know it's not him, but someone will do it for him. I have experienced her cruelty personally."
Princess Taiping¡¯s target gradually pointed to Princess Wei, and Li Dan also remained silent. If Wei Anshi was dismissed from the prime minister, maybe he would have hope.

Among the various factions in the Tang Dynasty, King of Luling Li Xian is undoubtedly the most low-key. Since Wu Zetian ordered Li Xian's eldest son Li Chongrun to be killed three years ago, King of Luling's influence has almost completely disappeared, and it is rarely heard of him. news.
Only when Wu Zetian passed his birthday last year, the King of Luling presented bay leaves, did he briefly appear in people's sight, but like a flash in the pan, he disappeared without a trace again.
The death of Li Chongrun brought a huge blow to Li Xian. In addition, his health has been in poor condition since his stroke. His years of house arrest made him gradually believe in Buddhism. Now he is even more completely immersed in the world of Buddhism. If Princess Wei hadn't firmly opposed it, he would have died. He became a monk.
Li Xian had long been disillusioned with the throne, and was indifferent to anything that happened in the court or at home. He simply gave his seal to his wife, Princess Wei, and the entire Luling Palace became completely dominated by Princess Wei.
Although Li Xian no longer interferes with external affairs, it does not mean that Princess Wei has given up. Her desire for power far exceeds that of anyone else. Only the current emperor Wu Zetian can compare with her.
Princess Wei is undoubtedly an extremely shrewd woman. She knows her husband's advantage, which is that he is the orthodox heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty. This alone is enough to make more than 70% of the courtiers who look forward to the revival of the Tang Dynasty support Li Xian. Compared with Under the circumstances, Prime Minister Li Dan's support was much weaker.
Out of the six prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, three actually supported Li Xian, but Yao Chong seemed a little shaken and supported Li Dan instead, but this did not change the fact that Li Xian had the upper hand.
Princess Wei strongly denied that Li Xian had become world-weary and fallen into the Buddhist world. She tried her best to create an atmosphere in which it seemed that Li Xian was just keeping a low profile and did not have contact with the outside world in order to avoid any adverse effects. She was Li Xian's spokesperson.
Of course, Princess Wei also knew that this was not enough, so she introduced her son Li Chongjun to become the spokesperson for her father.
And she was hiding behind the scenes, and it was her shrewdness and ability that allowed Li Xian to maintain the support of most courtiers despite falling into the Buddhist world.
That afternoon, Li Chongjun hurried back to the palace and went directly to the inner hall. After waiting outside for a while, a maid came out and said with a smile: "Princess, please invite the young prince in."
Li Chongjun nodded silently and walked into the lobby. In the lobby, Princess Wei was carefully tasting a plate of grapes. This was her favorite thing. She liked eating grapes the most, and she also liked to nibble duck necks. Princess Wei took good care of herself. , although he is already over forty years old, he looks like he is only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. His skin is delicate and smooth, and there is no wrinkle on his face.
She also has no taboo about her hobby of having sex. She and her husband no longer have sex. Her husband is a devout Buddhist and they rarely see each other. Therefore, the dozens of tall and strong guards in the mansion have become the source of her strong vitality. This is An open secret in the house.
But she is very smart. She will never show anything in front of her son Li Chongjun, so as not to offend him and ruin her big event. She has learned the lessons of her eldest son Li Chongrun.
Although Li Chongjun was not Wei's biological child, Li Chongjun still regarded Wei as his mother very filially. He knelt down and saluted his mother, "My child, see your mother!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Erlang, sit down!"
Princess Wei asked her son to sit down with a smile, and asked hurriedly: "How is it? Have you found out what happened?"
Princess Wei is very concerned about the change of attitude of the Prime Minister Yao Chong these days. Yao Chong, who had always supported Zhang Shuo to become the Prime Minister, suddenly changed his attitude and supported Huan Yanfan to become the Prime Minister. This means that Yao Chong has been attracted by the Prime Minister Li Dan. .
This made Princess Wei extremely angry and even more nervous. She was afraid that a chain reaction would occur and even Zhang Jianzhi and Wei Anshi would be taken away. Wei Anshi was her brother, so she was not worried. The key was Zhang Jianzhi, who was the head of the officials. If he is pulled over by Li Dan, the influence will be too great.
So Princess Wei was determined to find out what caused Yao Chong's change of stance.
As for the assassination of Wu Youning, which had been disturbing Princess Taiping day and night, she didn't care much. She was just excited when she got the news, and then shelved it.
Li Chongjun hesitated and said: "Reporting to mother, the child seems to have something to do with Li Zhen when he inquired about it?"
"Li Zhen?"
Princess Wei was stunned. How could it be Li Zhen? How could he be involved in the struggle for the prime minister? Hasn't he always stayed out of it?
After a while she said again: "Are you sure?"
"My child just heard that Li Zhen visited him the day before Yao Xiangguo proposed that Huan Yanfan become prime minister, but he doesn't know what happened specifically and has no way to investigate."
Princess Wei's face became solemn. If Li Zhen really said something against Yao Chong, the consequences would be a bit serious. It means that Li Zhen has completely turned to Li Dan. This matter is of great importance and must not be ambiguous. It must be To be implemented.
She whispered a few more words, but Li Chongjun shook his head, "My child doesn't want to go!"
"Who is going if you don't go? How can you disobey my order." Princess Wei glared at her son.
Li Chongjun said after a while: "Mom, you can let Wei Bo go. Isn't he quite capable?"
Like his brother Li Chongrun, Li Chongjun also hated his mother's nephews, especially Wei Bo, who were domineering and bullying him. Li Chongjun and he were at odds with each other.
Princess Wei understood the conflict between them, and she comforted her son softly, "Why do you need to be on the same level with him? I used my natal relatives because there was no one available. You are my son. In the future, when your father ascends the throne, you will be the prince." How many times have I told you that you don¡¯t know your father¡¯s situation? Who else can I rely on besides you?¡±
Although Li Chongjun didn't want to be his mother's puppet, he also understood that his father had no interest in world affairs at all. If he wanted to be a prince, he could only rely on his mother. Thinking of the prince's position, he finally gave in, "Okay! I'll go again Find out what¡¯s really going on.¡±
"That's right. You can go find someone from Shangguanshe. Maybe she is an insider."
"My child knows, let's go now!"
Li Chongjun stood up and saluted his mother, turned around and left quickly. Princess Wei watched her son walk away and fell into deep thought again. How could Zhang Shuo be promoted to the position of prime minister?
After thinking for a long time, she said to the maid: "Ask the housekeeper to find Mr. Wei for me!" - Didn't finish reading?
