My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 69: Li Min's catastrophe

Talked with Li Ke all the way, and the two separated on Zhuque Street and went back to their homes. The matter of Jieli was still far away from him, and he could only give Li Shimin some advice. As for the matter of dispatching troops, he still had to fight with him. No, all he can do is a word in his words to help Li Shimin "rich the country and strengthen the army".

   On the way back home, Li Yin’s buttocks were still hot, Su Mo’er found him, and told him the news that shocked him, “The bustard of Li Chun Yuan is gone!”

  Li Yan knew that Su Morer would not say this to him for no reason, so he stared at Su Morer and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Our people saw a veiled woman and four Turks escaped from Chang'an. That person was very similar to her. Later, I sent people into the Lichun Courtyard, and found that the bustard was gone!" Su Mo'er was thinking, "So I suspect that person is the bustard!"

  Now the people in Chang'an City only know that a Turk has escaped, but they don't know that it is Xieli. Su Mo'er's intelligence department has just been established and can only get some superficial information, so they don't know what really happened?

Su Mo'er is one of her own, and Li Min didn't want to hide it from her, saying, "To tell you the truth, that Turkic man is Jieli, Fang Xuanling now suspects that the hidden princess Chang He sneaked into Chang'an, and rescued him with the help of hidden guards." He is investigating this matter now!".

  Su Moer opened her mouth in surprise, all kinds of clues were in a mess in her mind, she suddenly said: "Could it be that bustard is the princess?"

  With a gloomy face, Li Yin said: "If that masked woman is indeed a bustard, then it is possible!"

  Speaking of this, both of them were silent, and they were thinking about a question together. If the bustard was Chang, and Luo Xiaoyi approached Li Yin and disappeared suddenly, what was her purpose?

   "Your Highness, what should we do?" Thinking of a possibility, Su Mo'er's face suddenly turned pale, "If the house minister finds out about the relationship between Luo Xiaoyi and you, how will you explain it to the emperor?"

   "Yeah, how should I explain it?" Li Yin's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.

  The chaos in Chang'an City lasted for seven days before it ended, and during these seven days, a terrible rumor began to spread among the people-the sixth prince Li Yin colluded with the concubine Chang's conspiracy to rebel.

  In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin threw a paper memorial on the ground, "This is clearly Chang He's conspiracy. Do you believe that the sixth prince will kill the king and usurp the throne?"

"I don't believe it either, it's just that the sixth prince has a close relationship with that Luo Xiaoyi, which many people have seen!" Just after Li Shimin ordered the purge of the hidden guards, Fang Xuanling caught one of them hiding in the hotel on the third day. After some interrogation, the dark guard revealed a piece of news that shocked Fang Xuanling. The sixth prince colluded with Chang He to try to kill the king, and the king killer was Luo Xiaoyi who sneaked into the palace. The smoke and dust woman who is closely related to the sixth prince.

And when he hurried into the palace to arrest this Luo Xiaoyi, the steward of Caisi Academy told him that Luo Xiaoyi's pseudonym Chang Xiaoyi disappeared the night before Jieli escaped, which made the case involving the sixth prince even more complicated. Confused.

Li Shimin paced back and forth anxiously. He really didn't like this son very much before, but Li Yin's performance in the past few months made him change his mind. Rebellion, this geisha was sent into the palace by the crown prince!"

   "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is just out of filial piety. This Luo Xiaoyi is outstanding in appearance. It is only natural for the Crown Prince to choose her!" Fang Xuanling argued.

"That's enough. How long are you going to favor the prince? Do you think I don't know about the fact that the Chang family bribed the prince with a boy and sent a geisha to the palace? You avoid the important ones and pick Li Yin's thorns specifically. Do you think I don't know?" I don’t know what you have in mind?” Li Shimin said angrily, “Xuanling, you are the prince’s teacher, but you are also an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, you can’t be partial like this!”

   "Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling knelt down after being told, "The old minister is incompetent, the prince has become like this now, and the old minister cannot absolve himself of the blame!"

  Li Shimin said wearily: "Go back, I will make my own decision!"

  Liangwang Mansion

  Li Ke was walking back and forth in front of Li Yin, seeing Li Yin's unflappable expression, he said anxiously: "Why are you still sitting still, now Li Tai is instigating ministers to impeach you and the crown prince everywhere, are you not in a hurry?"

"What's the use of being anxious?" Until today, he suddenly understood what Chang's conspiracy was. It was a vicious move. Even if it didn't kill him, he might not be able to stay in Chang'an anymore. The crime of killing the king and usurping the throne is too great. up.

   "Then you can't just sit here and do nothing?" Li Ke said.

  Li Yan gave a wry smile: "Who said that I will do nothing, I have been thinking of a solution that will satisfy everyone, and now I only think of one solution!"

   "What way?" Li Ke asked.

   "Shu King!" Li Yin spit out two words lightly.

Li Ke was stunned. The title of King of Shu was just an honorary title for him. Although he was King of Shu, he had never been to Yizhou. Years of harassment made the people there miserable, and going to that fief was tantamount to exile.

   "Are you crazy? Go to that place?" Li Ke said.

"Third brother, can't you see it now? It's not the emperor who is holding on to this matter, nor is it the old officials who are holding on to it. It's the crown prince and Li Tai who are holding on to it. They only have one common goal. I just let them have one less enemy, isn't it just in line with their wishes?" Li Yin analyzed.

"But..." Li Ke is a smart man. Of course he understands Li Yin's words. Li Tai is impeaching the prince and Li Yin, and the prince is chasing Li Yin. In fact, in the past three months, he has never been jealous of Li Yin. Ah, Li Shimin has never shown such intimacy to a son.

Li Ke was silent, and Li Yin knew that he had figured it out. After the conversation with Su Morer, Li Yin thought of this possibility and made preparations in time. All the copper coins in the cellar of the palace had been transferred away. It's just that he didn't expect the storm to come so quickly and violently. The ministers instructed by Li Tai and the prince kept admonishing Li Shimin, trying to bring Li Min down.

The decision to choose to go to Yizhou, Li Yin has also seriously thought about it, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is the place where he can freely display. For others, the place of exile may not be a place where he can accumulate food and slowly become king. Rather than being constrained in Chang'an City, it is better to go there and cover the sky with one hand. Moreover, occupying the Yangtze River along the land of Bashu, you can reach the wide ocean by going down the river, so that you can sell your products all over the world.

   This era is a place where land transportation is impassable and water transportation is developed. When the time comes when your own steam ship is developed, why don't you just go wherever you think?

Li Ke sighed for a while, saying that he was contacting his cronies to protect Li Yin tomorrow, and Li Yin also tidied up. He was going to see Li Shimin, so it was time to talk to him about it. He believed in the best of both worlds. Li Shimin will consider it.
