Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

In Chang'an City, rumors of Li Ke poisoning the empress and concubine spread like a virus, spreading to every corner of Chang'an City.Now, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are discussing the veracity of this rumor, but the people of Tang Dynasty are very simple, most of them think that the rumor is false, someone deliberately fabricated it, and some people even went to the Chang'an county government to ask for orders. I hope that the court can be fair to Li Ke and not frame good people.

In Chang'an City Guanyi, in the courtyard of the Tuyuhun envoy, Murong Shun's room was full of the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of talking and laughing.Murong Shun leaned on the couch, holding a wine glass in his hand, enjoying the dance of the beautiful woman in front of him with a smile.Li Ke was imprisoned in the palace for the crime of poisoning the queen. This news made him very happy. Since the case has not yet been finally decided, but for Murong Shun, who has ruthless Li Ke to the bone, being able to hear this news also made him feel happy. I am very happy.Zuoxian Wang Fuzhen of Tuyuhun was also drunk and looked at the dancing girl with a thin willow and waist in the field with a pair of blurred eyes, without the attitude of a king at all.

"Uncle Wang, how is the woman in front of you?" Murong Shun asked with a smile.

"It's really good, it's more flavorful than our Tuyuhun girls!" Fu Zhen said with satisfaction.However, when he saw Murong Shun's complacent look, he couldn't help reminding, "But the prince has to be more cautious these days. The Hanwang of the Tang Dynasty is suspected of poisoning the queen. The final conclusion has not yet been reached. You and the Hanwang Li Ke have resentment. Now You are drinking and having fun in the station again, it is hard to guarantee that they will find your head."

"Hmph!" Murong Shun's face became very gloomy when he mentioned Li Ke, "I have nothing to fear, Li Ke is doing it on his own, what does he have to do with me when he poisoned the queen and concubine, I want to drink, I want to have fun with them Can you handle it?"

"The Khan's messenger hasn't arrived yet, so let's be careful before that!" Fu Zhen said seriously, "Although we Tuyuhun are not afraid of Datang, we should try our best not to cause unnecessary disputes, after all, you and I are still in Datang Chang'an, it's not Tuyuhun."

"Okay!" Murong Shun reluctantly agreed to Fu Zhen's words.Then, the two began to drink again, slowly admiring the dancers in the field.

Li Ke returned to the mansion and briefly told Yang En, Chen Qi, Zhu Tong, and Wang Zhongchang about the inquiry from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Yang En and Chen Qi did not express their opinions, but Zhu Tong and Wang Zhongchang seemed very angry. As long as Li Ke gave an order, they would have the urge to kill Changsun Wuji's mansion.

"If you have nothing to do, everyone go down first!" Li Ke said lightly, "Chen Qi, after the guards outside the door withdraw in the afternoon, you prepare the frame, we will go into the palace to visit the queen and the imperial concubine, and the king will go to Ganquan Palace Meet the emperor."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he went straight into the room without explaining why the guards outside the mansion withdrew.Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong looked at Yang En in awe, hoping he could give him an explanation.Yang En walked up to Chen Qi and the other three, lightly patted him on the shoulder, and smiled slightly, "Since when has His Highness' words been fulfilled? Are there still fake ones?"

Then, Yang En disappeared in the corridor leading to Juyi Hall, leaving Chen Qi, Wang Zhongchang and Zhu Tong who were quite puzzled and looked at each other in silence.

Indeed, as Li Ke had guessed, Li Shimin left his eldest grandson Wuji to talk in Liangyi Hall. When the two talked, there was no one around them. Even Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De dismissed him, and the conversation was full of time. There was a moment.At the time of Shenshi, Changsun Wuji ordered Changsun Shunde to remove the guards at the gate of the Han Palace after he came out of Liangyi Hall.Changsun Shunde was surprised by Changsun Wuji's order, and he also had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask. He vaguely guessed that it had something to do with Changsun Wuji's resignation as the presiding judge.

Changsun Wuji gave the order, and Changsun Shunde didn't dare to neglect and hastily transferred back the guards at the gate of Hanwangfu.

In the second half of the day, the calm at the entrance of King Han's Mansion returned to the past, and Chen Qi saw the Jinwu Guard leaving Yongning Street where the King Han Mansion was located in an orderly manner.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready, please give your orders." Chen Qi saw that the Jin Wuwei had left the gate of King Han's mansion, so he prepared the carriage in time and came back to report to Li Ke.

"Okay, let's enter the palace now!" After Li Ke finished speaking, he pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

The carriage frame of Li Ke from the Palace of the King of Han reappeared on Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an City, which excited the people of Chang'an City, thinking that Li Ke's charges had been cleared.Li Ke ignored the joyful Chang'an people outside the car, and ordered Chen Qi to hurry to Zhuquemen.Chen Qi took the order, accelerated the speed of the car, and listened to Suzaku's gate not long after.

The soldiers guarding the Zhuque Gate knew that Li Ke was imprisoned in the Han Palace because of the poisoning of Empress Changsun and Concubine Yin. Now they saw his carriage parked at the Zhuque Gate, and saw Li Ke stepping down from the carriage. They were stunned for a moment. After that, he hurried forward to salute Li Ke. Li Ke nodded and gave a slight signal, and continued to walk quickly towards the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace under the guard of Chen Qi and others.

Li Ke's figure at the Zhuque Gate disappeared, and the guards guarding the Zhuque Gate said in a hurry, "His Royal Highness is indeed a famous general of our Great Tang clan. You can see how powerful he is by looking at the guards around him." How powerful."

"Yes, yes! Otherwise, why did the emperor order the removal of the guards at the gate of the Han Palace so quickly?" Another soldier said.

"But I don't believe His Highness would do such a thing." Another person said.

However, no matter what the left and right guards said, Li Ke had already arrived at Liangyi Hall where Li Shimin handled government affairs daily. He agreed to his request.Li Ke walked out of the Liangyi Hall and first came to the Lizheng Hall. Although Empress Changsun had woken up, her body was still very weak, and she was in a deep sleep most of the time.Li Ke didn't even think about disturbing the sleeping Empress Changsun. He just asked the imperial physicians at the Lizheng Palace about the condition of the Empress Changsun. When the imperial doctors saw Li Ke appearing in the Lizheng Palace, they saluted and did not dare to be negligent. He told him the answers to the questions that Li Ke wanted to know, and Li Ke also learned from the imperial doctor why the poisoned Empress Changsun was safe.Afterwards, Li Ke came to Concubine Yin's Wanchun Hall, but to Li Ke's surprise, Wanchun Hall was much more lively than Lizheng Hall. In addition to Concubine Yin's personal Li You, Li Chengqian and Li Tai also lived together. In Wanchun Palace.Concubine Yin's poison has not been relieved, so she can only suppress the poison in her body through the imperial doctor's prescription, and wait for Li Shimin's order to collect and collect the necessary detoxification medicinal materials.When Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li You saw Li Ke, they all showed surprise expressions on their faces. Although they knew that Li Shimin had ordered the removal of the guards at the gate of King Han's Mansion, they didn't expect Li Ke to come to the palace so soon.

Li Chengqian's face was cold and frosty. He believed that the poison of Empress Changsun was caused by Li Ke, and he ignored Li Ke.Li Tai seemed very open-minded, he just froze for a moment and then said to Li Ke, "Qing Que has seen the third brother!"

"The third brother didn't harm his mother and concubine enough? Why come here again to pretend to be a good person?" Li You reprimanded rudely. He was resentful of Li Ke being favored by Li Shimin. Today, he finally got the opportunity. How could he not How about some sarcasm?

"Fifth brother, you can't say that. Is the third brother that kind of person? What is the purpose and benefit of the third brother in poisoning Concubine Yin?" Li Ke sneered at Li You as an idiot in his heart, but his mouth was very kind.

"What purpose do you have, what benefits do you have? You know it in your heart and you don't need me to explain it to you! Hmph!" Li You continued, but the palace officials here, he didn't speak too harshly.

Li Ke knew what Li You was thinking, and with a wry smile on his face, he bid farewell to the three of them and left Wanchun Hall.He knew the reason why Li Chengqian and Li Tai appeared in the Palace of Wanchun, as Qisha said, Li You gave the only life-saving medicinal material to Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian and Li Tai wanted to show their benevolence and filial piety in front of Li Shimin in order to express their gratitude , so he would come to Wanchun Hall to visit Concubine Yin every day.

Li Ke was reprimanded by Li You in the Wanchun Palace, and when he left the Wanchun Palace, he happened to meet Zhang Dezhong, the imperial doctor who treated the concubine Yin. Zhang Dezhong treated Li Ke for typhoid fever when he returned from the Turks. After the decree treated Hou Ruoyi, Li Ke asked Zhang Dezhong about the condition of some concubines Yin, and Zhang Dezhong told Li Ke the situation of Concubine Yin in detail. After hearing this, Li Ke said goodbye to Zhang Dezhong and left Wanchun Palace.

After leaving the Wanchun Palace, Li Ke went to the Qianqiu Palace first, so that Concubine Yang, who was secretly sad in the Qianqiu Palace, saw Li Ke, although she knew that the case had not been cleared, she still felt a lot of comfort.At the same time, he learned an important news through Concubine Yang's mouth, that is, Shang Zuo Pu shot and Xiao Yu quarreled with Li Shimin for his own affairs. .Li Ke had vaguely heard such words from the words of Qisha and Li Jing, but he was personally confirmed by Concubine Yang, and his heart was still touched a lot. He never thought that Xiao Yu, who had always been distant from him, would be in trouble when he was in trouble. Sometimes he stood up to defend himself, so that he lost his official position.Li Ke didn't know how to describe Xiao Yu, so he just silently thought about Xiao Yu's friendship, as long as he has time and opportunity, he will definitely repay it.

After talking to Concubine Yang, Li Ke told Concubine Yang that he had to go to Liangyi Hall to report to Li Shimin. Concubine Yang told Li Ke that Li Shimin was in a bad mood these days and told him to be careful when he spoke. Li Ke agreed to Concubine Yang's warning, and left Qianqiu Hall in Concubine Yang's reluctant attachment.After leaving Qianqiu Hall, Li Ke came to Liangyi Hall again. Li Shimin was not stupid. When he saw Li Ke reappeared in Liangyi Hall, he felt that he must have something important to report to him, so he ordered Wang De After leaving the Hall of Liangyi, no one is allowed to disturb him, and he even told Wang De not to allow Li Ke to return to the Hall of Liangyi for the second time.

Wang De was Li Shimin's personal servant, and he knew Li Shimin's character and temperament very well. Li Shimin ordered him not to be disturbed in any way, so Wang De dared not neglect to guard the gate of Liangyi Hall himself.During the conversation between Li Ke and Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li You came to the Liangyi Hall to meet Li Shimin. Wang De stopped the three of them and told the three emperors that they didn't want to see anyone. Although the three didn't know Li Shimin Why did the sudden order make the king
