Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 304

Empress Changsun stepped forward, took out a clean white handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat off Li Er's face.

Then she said softly: "Second Brother, I have already heard about the ins and outs of this matter. This matter is indeed a bit strange, and it is full of weirdness. First, people everywhere in Chang'an City said that Second Brother intends to take back Chu'er's title and fief , Then, I heard that the stock price of Naxi Datang Company plummeted, and then, Xu Wei and other censors suddenly got into trouble with the second brother in the morning, and the whole thing seemed to be fueled by someone behind the scenes..."

Li Er nodded and said: "Guanyin maidservant, you are right. I actually thought of it a long time ago and asked Baiqi to investigate, but unfortunately I haven't found any news yet. If you let me know who is doing things behind the scenes, I will definitely Can't spare him."

The voice did not fall.

Gao Chen ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of Baiqi, Yun Cong, is asking to see you."

Yun Cong is the leader of Baiqi.

Baiqi is Li Er's private secret team, and all the people he uses are the most trustworthy people.

Yun Cong was the guard that Li had followed since he was in his twenties.

Hearing this, Li Er said happily, "Hurry up, let Yuncong come in."

moment.

I saw an unremarkable man dressed in black walking in from outside the hall.

If this person puts on a bunt, he is no doubt like a farmer who grows crops.

And this is precisely the advantage of Yuncong.

A commander of hundreds of horses does all hidden and shady work, so naturally, the less people pay attention, the better.

Yun Cong stepped forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it has been verified clearly that the person in charge of the matter between Ping Xibo and Xidatang Company is King Jing. Among them, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, and the Cui family of Qinghe Shi, Fanyang Lu, and Taiyuan Wang all participated, and it seems that some agreement was made, and the time is urgent, and I haven't checked the details yet."

Snapped.

Originally, Li Er's anger had almost subsided, and he was sipping a cup of hot tea handed by Empress Changsun.

But as soon as he heard the news, he couldn't suppress his anger at that time.

The teacup he met was actually crushed by him on the spot.

The scalding hot tea seems to be completely indifferent.

For a moment, Li Er's face was ashen.

Seeing this, Empress Changsun hurriedly waved to Gao Chen, Yun Cong and the others.

Gao Chen quickly left with the surrounding maids and eunuchs.

In the main hall, only Li Er and Empress Changsun were left.

Knowing that the leader of this incident was King Jing, Empress Changsun was also in shock for a while.

King Jing is Li Yuanjing, who is also Li Er's half-brother.

After Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Incident, except for the execution of the prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji, he was very polite to his other brothers.

Over the years, people like Li Yuanjing have been well fed and fed.

Li Er never expected that the one who stabbed the knife in the back turned out to be King Jing Li Yuanjing.

Li Er slumped on the chair, his face full of disbelief: "Why, I have always been kind to Yuan Jing, even, he has a daughter, and I still want to make her a princess, why does he treat me like this behind his back... ...The powerful clans have always been my confidant's serious trouble, Yuan Jing is not ignorant, and now he wants to join forces with these big clans to embarrass me, really..."

For a moment, Li Er didn't know what to say.

Empress Changsun sat down.

Looking at Li Er's white hair at the temples, she felt distressed for a while, and then analyzed: "Second brother, actually, maybe Yuan Jing is not to blame for this..."

"It's such a time, do you still want to speak for that guy?" Li Er was a little unhappy when he heard this.

Empress Changsun smiled wryly and shook her head, "Second brother, do you think that Yuan Jing is really doing this? In fact, it is not the case. This time, it is the six major clans who made the attack together. Yuan Jing may be represented by the Li family of Longxi." ah."

The Li family in Longxi is where Li Er and Li Yuan made their fortunes.

Speaking of which, today's Li Er is still the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi.

Five surnames and seven Wang, a total of seven major families.

It's a pity that the Zheng family was too weak, and fell to the ground after a few rounds by Chen Chu.

Today, there are still six major clans left.

Longxi Li's!

The Li family of Zhao County!

Qinghe Cui Shi!

Boling Cui Clan!

Fan Yang Lu!

Taiyuan Wang!

Six families, live together!

In an instant, Li Er's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

This is a collective betrayal.

As for Li Er, the most intolerable thing is betrayal.

He gritted his teeth and said: "It's nothing more than the other five families. They have been passed down for hundreds of years and have deep roots. They have always criticized me, but the Li family in Longxi, I treat them well, and they want to stand up to embarrass me? "

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "Second brother, in all fairness, do you think you really treated Longxi Li family preferentially?"

"This..." Li Shimin was at a loss for words for a moment, "Maid Guanyin, what do you say?"

Empress Changsun analyzed: "Second brother, you have always been impartial and selfless. Since you took the throne, you have devoted yourself to the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty. You have never dared to have the slightest selfishness. I also got some favors, but not too much, on the contrary, the other big clans made things difficult for the second brother, and the second brother was able to deal with it leniently, but within the Longxi Li family, you have always been strict and selfless..."

After a pause, Empress Changsun continued: "Of course, the concubine dared to guess that this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that in recent years, many people have already guessed that you are going to suppress a big family like Wuxing Qiwang. The best way is to start from the Li family in Longxi. No matter whether the method is violent or gentle, there are always people whose interests will be damaged. Naturally, there are some people in the Li family who are unwilling. I am afraid that Yuan Jing is one of them. Of course they To resist."

"call……"

Understood.

I totally understand.

Just now, Li Er was furious and didn't think much about it.

Now after the analysis by Empress Changsun, he reacted instantly.

The problem still lies in the need to suppress the gate valve.

Aristocrats came from the Jiupin Zhongzheng System, and since then, there have been a lot of troubles and troubles in all dynasties.

Leaving aside, let’s just talk about Yang Jian of the Great Sui Dynasty, who was also a great clan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

There is also Li Yuan, who was born in the Li family in Longxi.

These aristocrats want money and money, people and people, and prestige and prestige.

Li Er, who also came from a powerful family, really knows it all too well.

Therefore, over the years, he has been secretly suppressing the family members openly and secretly, in order to weaken the strength of the family members without anyone noticing.

Little did they know, Chen Chu suddenly appeared, and the elites couldn't sit still.

First, the Zheng family of Xingyang jumped out, but he never thought that his strength was too low and he was laid down by Chen Chugan.

This quietly alerted the other clans, so everyone formed a group and worked together to get rid of Chen Chu first, not only to eliminate a hidden danger, but also to give Li Er a little color.

Having figured this out, Li Er suddenly sneered.

The smile became very permeable.

He wants to kill people now!

This kind of impulse only happened before Xuanwumen more than ten years ago.

At this moment, Gao Chen ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Ping Xibo Chen Chu begs to see you!"

……

……

Chapter 387 There Are Many Ways to Knock

Chen Chu?

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Tell him, I'm not here."

Gao Chen was dumbfounded.

Empress Changsun was startled at first, and then she understood what was happening, and said with a smile, "Second brother is afraid of seeing Chu'er?"

Li Er nodded and explained: "Chu'er is my good son-in-law and my good minister. In the past few years, he has made a lot of contributions, even if he was named a marquis. Now, he is just an Earl of Pingxi He must have come to complain this time, even if there is such a big mess, why would I have the face to see him..."

As we all know, His Majesty Li Er likes face the most.

If Chen Chu came in and really questioned him, he didn't have any countermeasures in mind.

Empress Changsun thought about it, and felt that this was also the case.

But Gao Chen ran out, turned around and came in after a while.

Gao Chen reported: "Your Majesty, Ping Xibo said that he came here to ask His Majesty to take back his title and fief."

What?

Hearing this, Li Er was stunned.

Which song did Chen Chu sing?

He looked at Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun was also at a loss.

After a pause, Empress Changsun said: "Second brother, Chu'er has always been unreasonable in doing things, but he doesn't know how to act recklessly. Why don't you let him in and ask him what's going on."

Li Er nodded: "Let him in."

After a while.

Chen Chu walked into the Ganlu Hall.

I saw that the Ganlu Hall was very deserted, and the maids and eunuchs who were serving had been kicked out long ago.

Walking forward, Chen Chu bowed in salute: "I have met the emperor father and the empress mother."

Empress Changsun looked at Chen Chu with some distress: "Chu Er, I have wronged you during this time."

Li Eryi didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked Gao Chen to quickly move a stool for Chen Chu.

Then he asked: "Chu'er, I already know what happened during this period, do you know who is behind you and the West Datang Company?"

Chen Chu sat down and said, "If I'm not wrong, this person must be from the five surnames and Qiwang. Maybe he has a lot to do with the royal family."

In an instant, expressions of astonishment appeared on the faces of Li Er and Empress Changsun.

You know, in order to find out who is behind this scene, Li Er even dispatched a hundred cavalry.

But without the power of Baiqi, Chen Chu could guess almost exactly.

Li Er was surprised: "Chu'er, how did you deduce it?"

Chen Chu smiled, and said: "It's not difficult to speculate about this matter. This time, the matter against the West Datang Company was too sudden and violent, and even the court was alarmed. Most people don't have the energy. Moreover, I heard that there was a censor named Xu Wei who dared to embarrass his father in the early court. Thinking about it, the people behind the scenes were sure that even if his father knew the truth, he would not be able to do anything. That's why he was like this With great fanfare, I am not afraid of anything. I also guessed that the father must be in a difficult situation at the moment, so I made a special trip to the palace."

Li Er blushed.

Chen Chu was right!

When he learned that the person behind the scenes was Li Yuanjing, and that the six great powers were all involved, he was really embarrassed.

Turning a deaf ear and continuing to defend Chen Chu to death, no one knows what troubles will arise in the end.

But if he didn't do anything, he would only make Chen Chu wronged.

This was also the reason why Li Er didn't meet Chen Chu in his first reaction.

Sighing, Li Erdao: "The only one who knows me is you, Chen Chu... I won't play tricks with you anymore. This time, the leader is Jing Wang Li Yuanjing, and behind Li Yuanjing is the Li family in Longxi where I am. , and other great clans also participated.”

Chen Chu was not surprised, even he had doubts before.

King Jing Li Yuanjing has been keeping a low profile all these years.

But it's just a low-key on the surface, secretly, Li Yuanjing likes to make connections, and has connections with many big families.

Now, this guy is being used as a gun.
