Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 527 Results
Tian You's pigeons landed in a courtyard.

"Master! Tian You's flying pigeon is sending letters!" The maid took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, and handed it to a lady in fine clothes.

"What did Tian You say?" the lady asked.

"Tian You said that the matter has been settled, and Li Xiang is dead!" said the maid.

"This is really great! Immediately fly a pigeon to pass a letter to my son, let him set off immediately, and rush back to Chang'an, you go and inform our ministers in the court, let them support my son as the crown prince." The lady said.

"It's a servant girl, let's do it!" The maid bowed and stepped back.

……

"Why did you come back alone? Where is King Wei? Why didn't you come back with you? What happened?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian saw that Wang Quan came back alone, and his face was ugly, but Li Xiang didn't follow, he felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something serious happened.

"Everyone! King Wei was assassinated and died! The slaves dare not hide anything, so I came here to report to everyone!" Wang Quan said.

"What? What, what did you say? Xiang'er was assassinated and died? How could this happen? Who did it?" Li Chengqian said in surprise.

When Li Chengqian first asked about the bad news, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"Everyone! What's wrong with you?" Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Chengqian and asked with concern.

"I'm fine! Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Li Chengqian said.

"I don't know about it either, but I have already ordered someone to seal off the scene and detain the people around King Wei," Wang Quan said.

"Let Dali Temple Minister and Minister of Criminal Affairs investigate this case immediately. I want to know who is so bold and dares to assassinate my son at the feet of the emperor." Li Chengqian said angrily.

"Everyone! This servant has a guess and I don't know if I should say it or not." Wang Quan said.

"Tell me, have you guessed who did it? Who? Who is it?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The slave girl thought it might be the abolition of the prince. While raising troops to rebel, he sent people to assassinate King Wei. He made two-handed preparations. He couldn't be the prince, and he wouldn't let King Wei become the prince." Wang Quan expressed his guess. .

"No, no, no, no, this is absolutely impossible. I know Li Jue well. He doesn't have this kind of scheming, and he can't do such a thing. There must be someone else behind it." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian knew what kind of person Li Jue was. Even if Li Jue would rebel at the instigation of others, he would never do such a thing.

Li Jue's character determined that it was impossible for him to do such a dirty thing.

"Could it be the people around Prince Abandoned, the King Wei they assassinated!" Wang Quan said.

"Then what's the motive? What's the motive for killing Li Xiang? Li Jue's rebellion failed, so what's the point of them assassinating Li Xiang again?" Li Chengqian asked.

No matter from any point of view, it is impossible to explain why Li Jue's people wanted to assassinate Li Xiang after Li Jue's failed rebellion.

This doesn't mean anything to them, and they won't get any benefit from killing Li Xiang.

Once Li Xiang died, the biggest beneficiaries could only be the other princes, not Li Jue.

So, could these brothers of Li Xiang do it?
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian didn't dare to continue thinking.

"I don't know this servant, maybe she wants to avenge the abolished prince. What the abolished prince can't get, can't fall into the hands of King Wei." Wang Quan said.

"This is just your guess, don't take it seriously, let's wait for the results from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment!" Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan stood aside without saying a word. He and Li Chengqian were quietly waiting for the results of the review by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

They waited nearly five hours for the results.

"Report to Your Majesty! Sun Fu, Minister of Dali Temple, and Cui Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, beg to see you!" An eunuch trotted in.

"Quick! Xuan come in." Li Chengqian hurriedly said.

After waiting for nearly five hours, Li Chengqian was eager to know the result.

"No!" The eunuch withdrew and called in Sun Fu and Cui Yan who were outside.

"Minister Dali Temple Qing Sun Fu (Cui Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment)..." The two came in and immediately bowed to see.

"Okay! You don't need to be too polite, you should talk about the case! I'm dying of anxiety!" Before the two of them finished their salutes, Li Chengqian interrupted them directly.

"Yes! Both of you should hurry up and talk about the result. Your Majesty has been fidgeting all the time, just waiting for you." Wang Quan said.

"Report to Your Majesty! After the inspection by Wu Zuo, it was found that King Wei was stabbed to death by someone at close range."

"The murder weapon that killed King Wei was a dagger, but no murder weapon was found at the scene." Dali Temple Minister Sun Fu said.

After the autopsy report made by Wu, the cause of Li Xiang's death can be determined.

"After we inspected the scene carefully, there was no sign of a fight, and King Wei was stabbed to death at close range."

"I also asked King Wei's bodyguards if there was anything unusual before King Wei died. They all said that there was nothing unusual, and they didn't hear anything."

"The guards didn't know that King Wei was assassinated until the long history of King Wei's mansion, Taifu Tianyou of King Wei shouted." Said the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

"That's right! We asked the guards on duty, who did King Wei stay with before his accident?"

"The guard said that King Wei had been staying with Taifu Tianyou all the time. In addition, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and King Wei was assassinated at close range. The minister concluded that the murderer must be Tian You." Dali Temple Minister Sun Fu said.

Li Chengqian was furious when he heard the words, this damned Tian You was actually a murderer, it was a waste of him trusting him so much to appoint him as the prince of Wei, he didn't know how to be grateful, but did such a heartless thing.

Why did he do this?What the hell did he have with Li Xiang?He insisted on assassinating a prince at the risk of being punished by the nine clans.

"You can interrogate Tian You clearly, why did he assassinate my son? Why?" Li Chengqian roared angrily.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. First, Li Jue conspired against him, and now his eldest son was assassinated, which made him very irritable.

"Your Majesty, please make amends. When I lead people to arrest Tian You, Tian You has already committed suicide by taking poison!"

"It is impossible to know why Tian You assassinated King Wei. I have checked everything about Tian You. Tian You and King Wei have no grievances. King Wei has always trusted King Wei very much." Dali Temple Minister Sun Fu said.

"Weichen speculates that this should be related to the position of the crown prince. Now that the crown prince has been abolished and King Wei has been assassinated, the beneficiaries must be other princes. I feel that this matter has something to do with other princes." Said Cui Yan, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment .

"Do you have evidence?" Li Chengqian asked.

Sun Fu and Cui Yan shook their heads. This was just their guess, and there was no real evidence to prove it.

"You all step down! Keep this matter secret." Li Chengqian said.

"Resign!" Sun Fu and Cui Yan bowed and retreated.
