Chapter 226 Li Yuanchang was arrested
Rumors circulating in the market before were divided into four groups of people.
The first batch is the guards in Li Yuanchang's mansion, which is very convenient to check.
The second wave is some close families related to the Boling Cui family. After all, there are grudges between the two sides, so they naturally have to use some means.
After the third wave of people was found out, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown, Turkic Hu merchants! There were even some merchants from small countries such as Goguryeo, who were interested in doing so.
The fourth wave... cannot be found out, and I don’t know where it came from.
According to those caught, it was a man with scarred faces who ordered them to do it.
Then he secretly investigated for a long time, but he didn't know where this person came from.
After the investigation, Li Shimin sent someone to summon Li Yuanchang to the palace.
Li Chengqian also started the action, leading a team of princes Liu to the outside of the Han Palace and asked the Han Dynasty to come forward.
However, he was informed by the subordinates of the Han Palace that the Han Palace had been summoned to the palace.
Li Chengqian's expression was a little unkind, "Run in, Gu wants to see what tricks Li Yuanchang hid in the mansion!"
With the shadow of capturing the bandits, Li Chengqian led his troops to attack the Han Palace.
It is estimated that tomorrow, someone in the court will give advice and impeach the crown prince to rebel in an attempt to rebel.
But Li Chengqian didn't care at all, and he wanted to know if there was anything else in this mansion that he didn't know!
The result of whipping the servants from the Han Palace made Li Chengqian sweat continuously on his forehead.
In the palace, Li Yuanchang knelt in front of Li Shimin in cold sweat.
"Brother, I am wronged!"
Looking at Li Shimin's cold eyes and the murderous intent emitted from his body, Li Yuanchang was very frightened.
Li Shimin snorted coldly, and Li Yuanchang immediately closed his mouth.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of you, you rumored that the King of Qin was killed, and secretly encouraged Qingque to compete with the prince for the throne?"
Li Yuanchang didn't dare to talk to him, but kept shouting that he was wronged.
Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked him down, "You even convinced the Supreme Emperor to persuade me to dismiss the concubine of the King of Qin. Li Yuanchang, your hand is stretched far away! Do you feel that everything is in your control?"
"I don't dare. I'm wrong. I'm asking the emperor to bypass me and have a life!"
Li Yuanchang knew that he could not escape, so he could only bow his head and admit defeat, hoping that Li Shimin would not be too ruthless. If he killed himself directly, it would be too unfair.
Even if there is something wrong, it is not a big mistake, and it will not cost you life.
At worst, you can go back to your fiefdom and never go to Chang'an again in your life.
But Li Yuanchang was still afraid. After all, if his "brother" became unscrupulous, he would have to move his head if he couldn't.
Liu Sancheng hurried into the hall and whispered in Li Shimin's ear.
A long time later, Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Li Yuanchang, even if I spare you, the prince will not spare you!"
Li Yuanchang said in surprise: "Brother, I am indeed wrong. I shouldn't have persuaded Your Highness the King of Wei to go against the prince in private. I also asked the brother to save me. I am really aware of my mistake!"
He bowed to him, fearing that Li Shimin would not agree later.
Li Shimin's eyes remained chilled, "Wait, the prince will enter the palace later. I also want to know what else you have done is something I don't know!"
The prince enters the palace? Isn’t the Eastern Palace already right next to the palace?
Where did you come to the palace?
Li Yuanchang's pupils shrank slightly. Could it be that the prince ran to his mansion?
It's broken! Something big happened!
After suffering for half an hour, Li Chengqian entered the palace and walked to him, and kicked him.
"Prince!"
Seeing that Li Chengqian seemed to be not satisfied with the fight and was about to continue to attack, Li Shimin scolded him and calmed down.
Li Chengqian looked red and pointed at Li Yuanchang and scolded: "My second brother went to the border, but you have caused trouble to your family. First, he spread rumors and cursed that the second brother died. He also designed to take the concubine of the King of Qin. Now that Tana was humiliated and hanged herself, how should I explain to him after the second brother returns to court!"
The anger in his words was not covered, and his hands were even more unabashed. He took advantage of Li Shimin's moment of being stunned and slapped Li Yuanchang.
Li Shimin, who came back to his senses, grabbed Li Chengqian and asked, "Are you talking about that Turkic woman?"
Li Chengqian said angrily: "Father, he is a treacherous villain. He deliberately spreads rumors of his second brother's death. Then he reported with more than a dozen officials to remove Tana from his position as the concubine of the Qin King. After succeeding, he immediately promised Mo Heduo with great profits and brought Tana into the mansion!"
Li Shimin shouted: "Is Tana still alive?"
Li Chengqian sighed and said, "I was buried under the old tree in the backyard by this guy. If my second brother knew about it, I'm afraid that Chang'an would be in turmoil again!"
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, and Tana was still alive. The biggest trouble.
He glared at Li Yuanchang, who was unable to make trouble on the ground, shouted: "Tell me a good explanation. If I don't explain it clearly, I will remove your skin!"
Li Yuanchang shivered and knew that he would say everything.
From his words, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian learned about the existence of a person.
"Mr. Gou? Where did Mr. Gou come from?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly found a letter on his body, "But this is the one who left you a letter?"
Li Yuanchang nodded subconsciously, but then his eyes widened and it was broken!
Can he not know what the letter says?
There are some contents that shouldn't be included. Sure enough, after Li Shimin read it, he originally planned to go around Li Yuanchang, but now he wants to kill him immediately.
"A big thing? I want to know what the big thing in your letter is!"
You can tolerate your greed for money or power, but you will never tolerate rebellion.
Li Yuanchang knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I don't have the courage at all. I have to believe me!"
Li Shimin angrily said, "Don't have the courage? All the evidence is placed in front of me. People come and press them into the Dali Temple prison and send someone to guard them strictly!"
"No! Brother! I am wrong..."
He dragged it all the way out, what is the King of Han? He is not as comfortable as a sparrow at this moment!
Li Shimin didn't want to kill him, worried that Li Yuan would be sad because of this, and he didn't want to be a bad reputation anymore.
But Li Fangchen's affairs are a troublesome at this moment.
On the second day, Li Shimin arranged for Li Ke and Li You to go to the Turks to participate in the feudal ceremony. Li Tai was left in Chang'an and did not dare to let it go easily. If you let it go, it would be a huge trouble.
As for Mo Hedu, who has lost his beloved daughter, who cares?
Wait, when the King of Qin returns, Mo Hedu becomes the best candidate for the King of Qin to vent his anger.
Li Yuanchang?
Li Shimin would not agree to Li Chengyu beheading Li Yuanchang, so Li Shimin planned to interrogate Li Yuanchang and exil directly, and asked Li Ke and Li You to delay Li Chengyu's return as much as possible.
The war ahead is hard, and there are still people stabbing the knife in the back. If a mutiny occurs, it will not be a good thing.
When Li Ke saw that the army had already developed faith in the King of Qin, he told him that he would not return to Chang'an, Li Fangchen would know about this and then make a big fuss.
