My father, Li Shimin, please call me Crown Prince

Chapter 51 Evidence of the Crown Prince's Rebellion

"Your Majesty wants me to bring the Crown Princess and the eldest grandson to dinner together?"

East Palace.

Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Ananda with some suspicion.

Zhang Ananda was not surprised by the prince's expression. This father and son were always like this.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Majesty arranged it in Linde Hall. I heard that the prince likes roasted whole lamb, so he specially ordered someone to hold a bonfire dinner."

Li Chengqian always felt that it had some similarities to the Hongmen Banquet.

He asked maliciously, "Your Majesty arranged for me to stay in the Linde Palace, do you want me to walk around more?"

Taiji Palace is very large, and Linde Hall is located at the westernmost part of Taiji Palace.

To go from the East Palace, you have to cross the entire Taiji Palace, and this road is several miles long.

According to the rules, riding horses, carriages, or sedan chairs is prohibited in the Palace.

Zhang Ananda smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has already given instructions to allow the Crown Prince to go there on horseback."

"The Crown Princess and the eldest grandson of the Emperor may ride in the carriage."

Li Chengqian nodded, that’s pretty good.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What does your majesty want to do?"

We had a quarrel yesterday, and today they arranged a family dinner, and even brought the Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson. It feels wrong no matter how I think about it.

Zhang Ananda explained: "Your Majesty has always had the prince in his heart."

"It's just that there were a lot of misunderstandings because of a lot of things."

"Your Majesty would like to take this opportunity to reconcile with the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian said mercilessly: "It's not that troublesome. Your Majesty just needs to revoke the Prince of Wei's official position and send him to a fiefdom. The misunderstandings between me and Your Majesty will naturally disappear."

Zhang Ananda didn't dare to answer such words.

Li Chengqian also knew that it was useless to say so much to Zhang Ananda, so he said, "Your Majesty, I will arrive naturally when the time comes."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhang Ananda responded and returned.

Su Yu'er was very happy. Just as Zhang Ananda guessed, she was grateful to His Majesty.

If Your Majesty had not executed Le Tong from the Taichang Temple, I would still be a widow every day and would not be so happy every night.

Su Yuer didn't care too much about the prince's previous favoritism towards Le Tong Chengxin.

Li Chengqian was also glad that he was not a troublemaker.

Le Tong Chengxin is a man who looks extremely like a woman.

An actor with beautiful appearance and good singing and dancing.

In ancient times, actors were usually dressed as good-looking men.

When Li Chengqian saw her for the first time, he thought she was a beautiful woman, but later he found out that she was a man.

This is just like the later generations’ preference for effeminate men.

The boy has a feminine appearance and is extremely beautiful.

Even though I knew she was a girl, I couldn't help but like her.

A truly good male favorite will not only have one to satisfy her.

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Li Tai looked at the boy kneeling below.

He asked, "Do you know that your father once tried to assassinate me?"

The boy looked up and replied, "I know."

Li Tai said, "Then why do you dare to come to my palace? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to vent my anger?"

"Don't you think that I dare not kill you?"

The young man was Hegannuo, the son of Hegan Chengji.

Although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he is already of strong build.

"My father assassinated the King of Wei because he obeyed the orders of the Crown Prince. If the King of Wei kills me for this."

"Hegannuo has no second thoughts."

"I came to the Prince of Wei's mansion today because I understand that if I want to avenge my father, only the Prince of Wei can help me."

"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If the King of Wei is unwilling to keep me, why not just kill me directly?"

Hegannuo kowtowed heavily, his tone sad but firm. Li Tai hesitated a little, and Chai Lingwu beside him whispered to persuade him: "King of Wei, I think this Hegannuo should be quite skilled, a good seedling, who inherited the martial arts of his father Hegan Chengji."

"With his hatred for the prince, he is the best assassin to deal with the prince."

"The most important thing is that he is loyal enough and has only hatred in his heart. Such a person is the most useful."

Seeing the King of Wei hesitate, Hegannuo said, "Please ask the King of Wei to dismiss his attendants. I have important intelligence to report. After hearing it, the King of Wei will definitely agree to take me in."

Hearing this, Li Tai smiled.

"Your father once tried to assassinate me. Who knows if you will do the same?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it here."

His life is the most important thing, Li Tai dare not take risks.

After listening to it, Hegannuo also felt that it made sense, but he did not dare to reveal the information he wanted to reveal.

Seeing this, Chai Lingwu gave him an idea.

"Can you write?"

"meeting."

"Then write down what you want to say on a piece of paper and present it to the King of Wei alone."

"it is good."

Li Tai also thought this method was good, so he asked someone to bring pen and ink.

As the prince's trusted guard, Hegan Chengji naturally had no shortage of money. He also devoted himself to the cultivation of his son Hegannuo, and his reading and writing were no problem.

Hegannuo took the pen, wrote a few words on the paper and folded it.

The guard next to him took it and handed it to the King of Wei.

Li Tai didn't care much at first. He opened the book with a smile on his face, but his expression suddenly froze and his eyes trembled a little.

Then he asked Hegannuo: "What you said is true."

Hegannuo replied: "I heard it from my father himself."

Li Tai thought for a moment and asked, "How can you expect me to trust you? This is a huge matter that will break the sky."

Hegannuo replied: "My father was the most trusted and trusted guard of the prince, but he was suddenly sentenced to death by the prince."

"I originally thought it was because of my father's assassination of the King of Wei, but when I think about it carefully, it has been several months since my father assassinated the King of Wei, and the prince not only did not sentence him to death, but also gave him a lot of rewards."

"I still remember that after my father received the reward, he went home very happy and drank a lot of wine."

"Some time ago, about fifteen days ago, my father told me that he wanted to do something big with the crown prince. If it succeeds, our Hegan family will become a true aristocratic family."

“Then, I received the news of my father’s death.”

"I think carefully, the prince can trust my father even for something like assassinating the King of Wei. It is only because of this incident that the prince suddenly ordered the death of my father."

Upon hearing this, Li Tai looked at the words on the paper again.

Some excitement, some excitement.

This is the biggest opportunity for him.

Then he asked expectantly, "Did your father leave any evidence about this matter?"

Hegannuo shook his head and said, "No."

Although Li Tai was a little disappointed, he also knew that the possibility of leaving any evidence was slim.

After thinking for a while, Li Tai said to Hegannuo kindly: "From now on, you will stay in the Prince of Wei's mansion and serve the king."

"As for your father's revenge, this king cannot guarantee it. It all depends on your future luck."

Hegannuo kowtowed again: "Thank you, King Wei."

"Okay, step back, someone will arrange for you."

"Yes."

After Hegannuo left, Chai Lingwu looked at Li Tai with a questioning look.

Li Tai looked around and said, "All of you should retreat as well."

After all the palace maids, eunuchs and guards had left.

Only then did Li Tai show the words on the paper to Chai Lingwu.

After reading it, Chai Lingwu was shocked.

There were five words written on the paper.

'The prince is planning a rebellion.'
