Chapter 533 Wind and Clouds

Although the news of Li Ke's assassination in Jingzhou has not been publicly released by the court, it has spread all over the countryside.

The world is shocked, and Kyushu is thunderous.

When Li Shimin heard the news of his sudden violent illness, he was blocked to death. Even several imperial doctors who came to treat the disease could not leave the emperor's bedroom half a step under the strict control of Baiqi. The eldest grandson Wuji had the courage to invite Fang Xuanling to "steal" the emperor's private seal together, issued a letter, and told the ministers that the emperor's memorial day was approaching, and the emperor's majesty would fast and quiet to pay tribute to the emperor, so the dynasty was abolished for a few days. Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji worked together with other cabinet prime ministers in the affairs of the middle of the dynasty, and used the cabinet to criticize the orders of the emperor to criticize all parties.

This is a typical technique of covering the ears and stealing bells. All the ministers and workers know that if it is not for urgent and special circumstances, they will not use the cabinet to deal with the memorial. There are only two possibilities for this to happen. One is that the emperor left the capital far away from home and handed over the government to the prime minister's agent; the other is... the emperor suddenly fell ill and even died!

Up and down the government and the opposition, people suddenly panicked. At present, the assassination case of Li Ke, the king of Wu, shocked the government and the opposition. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling made a decision in the court and sent Chu Suiliang, who was the secretary of the Central Book and the deputy prime minister (deputy prime minister of the cabinet), to Jingzhou to deal with the case.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, who should have been on the cusp of the storm, had already been ill for a long time before the case of Li Ke.

At this moment, it has attracted all the ministers to speculate more.

Seeing that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, there are rumors in the market - Kansai Qin Mubai has supported troops and power in the Western Regions, and there is a lot of movement to divide the land and rule the king!

This rumor is like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of boiling oil!

From this moment in the Tang Dynasty, the wind and clouds are turbulent, lightning and thunder!

......

Late at night, Changsun Wuji, who has a big head like a fight, is really difficult to sleep. He puts on his clothes and sits alone with the lamp.

Ask yourself, Changsun Wuji knows that he has a strong desire for power and is selfish. But no matter how you compete and plan, the last bottom line is not to destroy the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, let alone hurt the emperor.

"If so, my eldest grandson Wuji would rather smash himself to pieces!" With a punch on the table, Changsun Wuji roared helplessly and angrily, "But now! ...Is that good?!"

——"Cock"

A flash of lightning cut through the night sky, and the thunderstorm in summer came.

Changsun Wuji became more and more anxious. He got up and paced back and forth, looking at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, he was shocked, "Strange! At this time, besides my eldest grandson Wuji, there should be another person who can't sit still! But he is calmer than anyone else, and he hasn't appeared once so far! ...This is strange!"

"Is it... that he committed the Jingzhou case?" Changsun Wuji's inexplicable heart tightened his eyebrows. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said to himself, "It's unlikely. Although Lao Si is gloomy and kind-hearted, he should not have the courage to send people to assassinate. Moreover, most of his men are ministers and officials. He is good at chanting poems. He kills more and more goods. He can't..."

"Conversely - what if he really did it?" Changsun Wuji's eyes stared and looked panicked. "Does that mean that even I have always flattened him and underestimated him?"

In Changsun Wuji's heart, a trace of chill suddenly appeared, and then evolved into fear. He couldn't help thinking about the worst - if the matter was really done by the fourth king of Wei, then the boy's ambition and means have long been beyond the imagination of his eldest grandson Wuji. In this way, this simple and honest appearance is black at most a little smart fat man, but in fact his heart is like a snake and scorpion!

Can such a role be controlled by his eldest grandson Wuji?

......

"Kchacha!"

Thunder swept the ground, and lightning broke through the air!

"Come on, get the car ready!"

"Enxiang, where are you going so late at night?"

"Do not talk much, prepare a car, go out!"

A moment later, a green carriage drove out of the back door of Situ's mansion and went straight to the Wei Palace.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, really hasn't slept yet, as if he was still waiting for Changsun Wuji. As soon as he entered the secret room, he knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Uncle, help me, save me!"

Changsun Wuji looked at him condescendingly and coldly, "Didn't you get sick? I see you are very energetic!"

"Why did my uncle say this? Tai, it was indeed that he was deeply infected with cold and almost died of illness. Only then could he go down to the ground and walk, he heard the wind and clouds moving in the middle of the country, and he almost lost half of his life in shock!" Li Taifu cried and begged.

"What are you scared of?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Why is my uncle so indifferent?" Li Tai looked up at Changsun Wuji in consternation, "The third brother was assassinated, and the world thought it was Li Tai who did it! Tai, I can't even wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River now! Uncle, do you know... How does your father think about it and plan it?

"So, did you do it?"

"No!" Li Tai trembled and trembled like an electric shock. He stared and shouted, "Heaven and earth can be seen. It's not what Li Tai did!"

"Since you didn't do it, what are you panicking about?" Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, "Don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. When things always come out, what are you afraid of for no reason?

"Everyone's mouth is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed, uncle!" Li Tai cried loudly and begged, "Even your uncle... don't you suspect that it was done by Tai? Otherwise, why did you visit late at night, not to find out?"

"..." Changsun Wuji was speechless for a moment. Looking at Li Tai's situation, he really didn't look like a murderer. Therefore, his heart was slightly relaxed and he breathed lightly, "It's not good. You get up first, and I'll wait for the livelihood to be discussed.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, uncle!" Li Tai was grateful and got up with his knees. He sat down with Changsun Wuji affectionately. He stood aside with his hand down and served his nephew.

"Tell me, what are you thinking now?" Changsun Wuji didn't want to go around in circles and asked directly.

"I..." Li Tai hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "I want to know now, what does my father think of this matter? In addition, it is rumored that his father suddenly fell ill, but is there... this matter?

"Nothing." Changsun Wuji said firmly, "As for the emperor's thoughts, it is not something that the minister can specul. But one thing is certain that your majesty must be very shocked and angry. If the murderer is found, he will be smashed into ten thousand pieces and ashes!"

Li Tai was stunned and looked at Changsun Wuji with resentment, "I didn't do it!"

"Are you not talking to yourself?" Changsun Wuji scolded angrily.

"No, it's not..." Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "It happened suddenly, and Tai... is also confused."

"Huh..." Changsun Wuji snorted softly, and then whispered, "The court has sent Chu Suiliang to Jingzhou to investigate this case!"

"Oh!" Li Tai nodded repeatedly, "Yes, if you want to investigate, you must find out the water!" Those thieves are so bold that even the royal family dares to do it!"

Changsun Wuji carefully observed Li Tai's every move and change of expression, and did not find any flaws for a while. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What do you want to say to me? If not, the night is deep, and I will leave.

"Uh...uncle, this..." Li Tai stopped talking and hesitated.

"Tay!" Changsun Wuji shouted in a low voice helplessly.

"Tai heard that the court has used the cabinet department Zhu Bic. Dare to ask your uncle, is there anything about this?" Li Tai finally asked.

Changsun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and then flashed away. He nodded quietly, "You are lying in the sick house, but the news is well-informed. Yes, there is such a thing."

"So Tai wants to ask... Who is in charge of the country now? But my ninth brother, the king of Jin?" Li Tai asked.

"No." Changsun Wuji said lightly, "Your Majesty is still there. It's just a moment of fasting and quiet. Why does the prince supervise the country?"

"Isn't that right, uncle?" Li Tai grinned and smiled so that it was very harmless. He said, "If it hadn't been for the critical and special situation, the court would not have used the cabinet's Zhu approval. Unless... my father really fell ill suddenly, or... something else happened."

With a loud sound, Changsun Wuji got up and pointed to Li Tai and scolded angrily, "Li Tai, what's your intention?"

Li Tai was so scared that he fell to his knees. "My uncle is angry. What's wrong with Tai?"

"You are unfaithful and unfilial, don't you know what's wrong?" Changsun Wuji scolded angrily, "Since you guess that your father is seriously ill, you should be worried, sad and anxious. Looking at your current situation, you are full of complacency and joy! - Say, what's your intention?!"

"Uh! This...this!" Li Tai was speechless for a moment. The bean-sized sweat rolled down his forehead and he had to say, "Why is your uncle so excited? Tai just wants to make it clear. In Tai's heart, he is naturally worried about his father's safety; Taining is willing to reduce his life expectancy and die, and he doesn't want his father to suffer any illness!"

"Humph..." Changsun Wuji smiled coldly and only scolded in his heart: You fat man, how dare you play tricks and circle in front of me? It seems that if I don't swindling you a few times, you won't show the fox's tail!

Changsun Wuji said, "I repeat that your majesty is not sick. Believe it or not. As for the choice of the prince of the country, you don't have to worry too much. This is not something you should think about, do you understand?"

"Yes! ...Tai, it's not a part of it." Li Tai lowered his head and said honestly.

"Then I'll go. You can take care of yourself." After saying that, Sun Wuji raised his feet and left.

Now Li Tai is really in a hurry. He knelt on his knees and hurriedly walked forward a few times, hugging Changsun Wuji's legs, "Uncle, you are so cruel!"

"What are you doing?" Changsun Wuji was angry.

"My uncle, don't hide it from me. I know it all!" Li Tai finally told the truth, "The third brother was assassinated, his father was seriously ill, and there was no owner in the court, so Zhu Bian of the cabinet was urgently used! Originally, when I heard this news, my heart was like a knife, and I couldn't wait to suffer on behalf of my father and brother. But thinking more about the overall situation, I don't want Li Tang's country to fall into chaos and collapse at this time!"

"You boy, you are so presperate!" Changsun Wuji sighed and shook his head, "Until now, why don't you tell the truth?"

Li Tai was shocked all over and kowtowed on the ground. "Please complete your uncle and let the director of Taijian Guo worry about his father!"

Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart: Look, the fox's tail is finally exposed! I think you are really lustless and filial! After all, he is still the kind-hearted fourth, and his nature is difficult to change!

"I can't be in charge of this matter. Otherwise, there is no need to delay until today. Changsun Wuji said lightly, "After His Majesty the emperor is healed, it will be decided."

"Isn't the absence of a king in such a country make the government and the opposition panic?" Li Tai insisted, "Tai is nothing more than a thought. He just wants to stand up at this critical moment and serve the country and share his father's worries. So, is it also wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong." Changsun Wuji still said lightly, "But this matter is serious. It's true that I can't judge it alone."

Li Tai was stunned. He looked up at Changsun Wuji and said word by word, "Uncle, have you forgotten the old alliance?"

"What do you mean?" Changsun Wuji stared at Li Tai unhappily, "Are you timidating me?"

"Thai has no such intention, let alone the courage." Li Tai said, "Uncle, why don't we open the skylight and talk frankly! - It is true that the assassination of the third brother and the father's illness are a great misfortune in the world, and Tai's heart is even more sad. However, everything still focuses on the overall situation. How can the court be ownerless for a day? What's the harm in letting Thailand temporarily supervise the government for a few days? Just think of it as an experience. His father's health has healed, or he has another will, and Tai will not occupy the position of supervision of the country, return to his father, or give way to his brother appointed by his father. It's all!"

Changsun Wuji sneered and said to himself: Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, is it so easy to coax? Now this very special period allows you to supervise the governance of the country, which undoubtedly creates an established fact that you are already the lord of the East Palace, which is more important than the king of Jin to supervise the country at the beginning! What's more, the king of Jin has been unable to strive to be alienated and abandoned by the emperor. The assassination of the king of Wu is uncertain, and you are the only one left who is qualified to enter the East Palace... Li Tai, Li Tai, you are just too dishonest and your heart is too bad! I don't know if he will let me go today. Otherwise, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat. Uncle, I will fulfill you. What's the matter?

"There is no need to mention this matter again." Changsun Wuji, who had been thinking for a while, said impatiently, "Your Majesty is still there. What's the style of you crying for a temporary prison position? Everything is up to your majesty. It's useless for you to come to me!"

"So... Tai, I dare not say more." Li Tai bowed to the ground and said, "Congratulations to my uncle!"

"In extraordinary times, you should be careful with your words and deeds and take care of yourself." Changsun Wuji threw down this sentence and didn't say much. He raised his foot and left the Wei Palace and took the bus home.

On the way, Changsun Wuji thought many times and said secretly: Looking at the situation just now, Li Tai was focused on the position of 'superintendent' and was not very worried about being recognized as a killer. In this way, he should not be the mastermind behind Jingzhou. So, who should it be?

"This matter is really strange! Is there another force that secretly operates the East Palace Reserve? Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but be surprised, "Who would that be? Who else can have such ambition and ability inside and outside the government?
