Chapter 259 Unraveling King Wu, Killing Chickens and Monkeys

"At that time, the prince was already on the cusp of the storm, so how could the people in the prince's mansion make such a thing like this? Could it be that they thought the prince's life would not last long?" Chen Qiao said jokingly.

Li Ke nodded thoughtfully, "But the general didn't think that this is the prince's way of retreating to advance?"

Hearing Li Ke's question, Chen Qiao couldn't help laughing, "It's not about retreating to advance, but to put it to death and survive. But does your Highness think that the prince has such courage and courage?"

Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but shook his head, indeed, the crown prince didn't have such guts.

"Since you don't have the courage, then you should do something different." Chen Qiao said again: "Besides, King Wei has already regarded the crown prince as a thorn in his side, since the crown prince has fallen into his trap, how can he let him go?" This is a good opportunity to beat the dog in the water?"

"General Chen speaks carefully."

Hearing Chen Qiao compare the prince to a dog in water, Li Ke was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said, but he couldn't help laughing out as soon as he finished speaking. I have to say, this is really a very apt analogy.

"What about the privately made imperial robes? I heard from the servants in the mansion that General Chen personally went to Dali Temple today to interrogate the eyeliner of the king of Wei who accused the prince. .” After the smile disappeared, Li Ke frowned again.

"I have just said for a long time that the crown prince is not very courageous. If he really has the courage to privately make imperial robes, it would be faster to seek rebellion." Chen Qiao shrugged and said: "What's more, compared to the crown prince Well, the king of Wei can be said to be daring, not to mention that it is not a day or two for him to want to bring down the prince. In recent years, he and the prince have been reprimanded by His Majesty from time to time. Deadly way."

"So that's the case, but after all, the crown prince is the older brother of King Wei's mother, so why is he like this?"

Li Ke said, with a look of pity in his eyes. Li Yin never wanted to get himself into the water when he rebelled against him. He couldn't imagine that Li Tai hated Li Chengqian to such an extent.Biological brother, why do you have to live forever?

Chen Qiao sneered, "What about brother? Wei Wang has already become paranoid. In his opinion, anyone who hinders him from becoming a prince is just a stumbling block to him."

Li Ke sighed heavily, "Wei Wang is obsessed too much."

Chen Qiao nodded and said: "Unfortunately, he is still too stupid to let the eyeliner hide the imperial robe in a bright room. Only this point, but anyone with some brains can know that the crown prince is determined." It was framed."

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, Li Ke couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, if the imperial robe is really made by the prince, I'm afraid it will be hidden in a dark and secret room, so how can it be seen by a servant in the outer court?" ..."

"Such a thing, even a woman like me can figure it out. How many smart people in Chang'an City will be deceived by King Wei?" Fu Lan said with a smile.

Li Ke looked at Fu Lan in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Second Madam is really humble, you are an ordinary woman."

The corners of Fu Lan's lips curled up, "No matter what my status was before, now that I am married to my husband, I am just an ordinary woman."

Hearing Fu Lan's words, Li Ke was even more surprised. Originally, he thought that if he married someone like Fu Lan who had once been the king of a country, there would be chaos in Chen Qiao's house for a while. Identity, how can you give in?There are many people in the capital who are waiting to see the joke about two daughters competing for one husband in the general's mansion, but now it seems... Should it be said that Chen Qiao has such a charm that makes women admire?
"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back."

The three of them talked for a while, and the sky outside completely darkened. Chen Qiao originally wanted to keep Li Ke in the mansion for dinner, but thinking that Li Ke would want to go back to the mansion to finish with Wu Wangfei, so he didn't ask to stay.

After watching Li Ke leave, Chen Qiao turned to look at Fu Lan, "Now you still think King Wu is useless?"

Fu Lan pursed her lips and thought about it for a while, but finally shook her head, "Being able to endure what ordinary people can't, let alone being resentful because of past events, such a mind is really owned by people."

Hearing this, Chen Qiao raised his hand and put it on Fu Lan's shoulder, "From now on, don't talk about yourself as an ordinary woman. I don't like you talking about yourself like that."

Fu Lan turned her head to look at Chen Qiao, then leaned on Chen Qiao's shoulder with a smile, "I'm just talking casually, don't take it to heart."

The bloody storm of the past few days has finally settled.

Three days later, an imperial decree from Li Shimin abolished Li Chengqian's crown prince.The officials in the Hall of Liangyi were in an uproar. Because of Chen Qiao's interrogation that day, most of the people in Beijing who should know whether or not they knew that King Wei was the mastermind behind the crown prince's private making of the imperial robe.Just when everyone thought that this matter would be exposed lightly, Li Shimin's decree was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing waves.

"Your Majesty, the position of the crown prince is vacant, I'm afraid it will make people's hearts turbulent!"

An old official with a white beard walked out of the queue and said emotionally.

Wei Zheng, who was standing not far away, sneered, and said: "Pang Shangshu's words are really heartbreaking! Your Majesty is in the Spring and Autumn Period. Does it mean that there must be a crown prince in the Great Tang Dynasty to stabilize people's hearts? Are you asking Your Majesty?" where?"

That Pang Shangshu is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has always valued etiquette and law over benevolence and righteousness. Li Shimin has been unhappy with him for a long time, but because of his old age, he has never touched him. Unexpectedly, he jumped out now.But although he values ​​etiquette, he is not afraid of death, as soon as Wei Zheng said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt down to apologize.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! The old minister, the old minister made a mistake!"

Li Shimin looked at Pang Shangshu trembling and kneeling on the ground with displeasure, and asked with a gloomy face, "Since Pang Shangshu believes that the country cannot live without a prince, which of my sons can be the prince?"

Hearing Li Shimin ask such a question, Pang Shangshu trembled even more. Among the few remaining princes of Li Shimin, Li Ke must be the leader, but Li Ke has half of the blood of the Yang family of the former Sui Dynasty.If we talk about the progeny, then it is Li Zhi, but Li Zhi is soft-tempered, which is well known in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. Not to mention Li Chengqian, who was just deposed, even Li Tai is much stronger than him.

This... Pang Shangshu was speechless for a moment, he just touched his forehead to the ground and dared not say another word.

"Pang Shangshu, I think you are old, so I don't blame you for discussing the crown prince in the palace. You just take off your red robe and go home to recuperate for a few days." Li Shimin said lightly, his face even more calm.

When Pang Shangshu heard this, he looked at Li Shimin tearfully, "Your Majesty, this veteran has dedicated his life to the Tang Dynasty! Your Majesty can't treat this veteran like this!"

"A lifetime? Not necessarily? I have only been in the Tang Dynasty for more than [-] years, and Pang Shangshu is now in the age of hearing, right?" Li Shimin said with a sneer, "If I remember correctly, Pang Shangshu is a martial artist Didn’t De enter the court only eight years ago? I really don’t know where Pang Shangshu’s devotion to the Tang Dynasty began?”

Pang Shangshu really didn't expect Li Shimin to speak so clearly, and he was speechless at the moment, he just bowed his head deeply and didn't say a word.

"Come on, take him down!" Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes."

The guards outside the door rushed in, picked up Pang Shangshu and dragged him outside.

"What else do you want to say?" Li Shimin got up and walked a few steps forward, looking at the courtiers lined up in the hall and said loudly.

In fact, when Li Shimin had just ordered someone to read out the decree of the abolition of the crown prince, there were quite a few courtiers who wanted to say something, but thinking about Pang Shangshu who had just been taken down, all the courtiers were speechless again.

"His Majesty."

A voice came into the hall from outside the hall, and the officials turned their heads in surprise, only to see Chen Qiao, who seldom came to court, walked in step by step in a purple robe.
