Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"I don't choose either, I choose the third way! I create everything myself!"

Li Xiao's eyes were calm but full of determination.

In this Tang Dynasty.

Even if he becomes the emperor, so what?

After all, he is the soul of future generations, and what he pursues is not to be above ten thousand people, but...

Sleeping until I wake up naturally every day, counting money until my hands cramp, surrounded by beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, traveling around the world happily.

This is his ideal life.

Indeed, what Li Ke said made sense.

He has already been involved in this battle for the crown prince and cannot stay out of it.

However, he will not be merciful.

If you dare to provoke him, you will be punished!

"Create everything? Hehe..." Li Ke suddenly laughed, "Brother Xiao, sometimes I really can't see through you."

"Now you, I can't see through either." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.

Li Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, you have to think clearly, if you reject me, I will not show mercy."

"Then why don't I act first now?"

As he spoke, Li Xiao lightly pressed Li Ke's wound.

"Don't be kidding, the Xiao brothers I know are not that stupid."

"I was serious."

"I'm also serious." Li Ke continued with the corners of his mouth curled up, "You will soon see that the boss is stepping down, and I will take his place."

"Why are you?"

"Brother Xiao, sometimes what you see or hear with your own eyes may not be true. My power is beyond your imagination."

"Your power refers to Changsun Wuji?" Li Xiao said lightly.

"you know?!"

Li Ke's brows instantly twisted into the word "Chuan", with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Chapter 247: The battle for the crown prince begins

Li Xiao actually knew! ! !

Li Ke was shocked.

In the court, everyone knew that Changsun Wuji belonged to the prince line.

But no one knew that Changsun Wuji was actually on his side.

What outsiders see is just an appearance.

This secret, he never told anyone.

But now, Li Xiao has uttered the truth.

so easy.

It seems that Li Xiao already knew about it, and he was not afraid at all.

For no reason, Li Ke suddenly felt a huge pressure.

And this pressure came from Li Xiao.

Even though he was shocked, Li Ke still showed a good psychological quality.

In the eyes of outsiders, his expression was only slightly stunned for a moment.

Then it went back to normal.

"Changsun Wuji, the most powerful official in the capital, I really want to ask him for help, but..."

Li Ke shook his head slightly and sighed, "It's too difficult!"

"Really?" Li Xiao smiled coldly, "Last night, your people went to the Changsun Mansion."

After the words fell, Li Ke's breathing stagnated again.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ke said slowly: "I told Changsun Wuji that the real culprit of the paddock assassination is the crown prince. Let him make things right and help me."

"Hehe...what did he say?"

"Of course he refused straight away, and drove my personal guards out of the Changsun Mansion."

"Really?" Li Xiao put his hand on Li Ke's chest with a blank expression, "Why is your heart beating so fast?"

"What's wrong?" Li Ke said calmly.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a casual remark."

Li Xiao smiled, then carefully applied medicine to Li Ke, and then wrapped the gauze.

After doing all this, he got up to say goodbye.

"Brother Xiao, do you really stop thinking about it?"

Li Ke stopped Li Xiao.

"Third brother's words are very reasonable, but for me, it's hard to digest for a while, how about I go back and think about it, and give third brother an accurate answer later?" Li Xiao said with a smile.

"That's fine, third brother will give you time."

"gone!"

Li Xiao turned and went out.

The moment he left the camp, a cold light shot out from Li Xiao's eyes.

Li Ke is lying.

His expression was weird, his heart was beating fast, and his breathing was messy.

This is clearly a sign of lying.

In other words, Li Ke is deliberately concealing his relationship with Changsun Wuji.

This somewhat means that there is no silver 300 taels here.

He was almost sure that Changsun Wuji was probably the power behind Li Ke's mouth.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao's face turned cold.

Changsun Wuji has long been regarded as his mortal enemy.

Ruo Li Ke and Changsun Wuji are in collusion.

Then he won't be polite anymore.

……

At the same time, Wei Zheng, Zhang Liang, and Du Ruhui were interrogating a group of officials from the Ministry of War.

There is no answer to who leaked the news about the order of the city guards.

Whoever has been to the warehouse of the Ministry of War still has no answer.

Everyone's confessions are similar, and they are all ignorant.

At this point in the interrogation, Du Ruhui looked at Lu Chengqing and Cui Heshan.

"Do you two have something to say?"

Suspect exclusion method.

After the selection, only the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is second only to Du Ruhui in power.

Only they have the right to transfer the cold iron horn bow in the warehouse.

"My lord, under your order, I presided over the hunting in the paddock. There is an accident in the warehouse of the Ministry of War. I have no way of knowing, and I have no right to interfere!"

Cui Heshan's face was full of anxiety: "Masters, please be aware of the details!"

At this time, Lu Chengqing, another servant of the Ministry of War, turned pale and trembled all over.

So far, the answer is ready to come out.

"Lu Chengqing!"

Du Ruhui sneered coldly, and said in a deep voice, "You are in charge of all affairs of the military department, do you have anything to say?"

"My lord... my lord, please spare me!"

With a terrified expression on his face, Lu Chengqing crawled to Du Ruhui's feet, begging for mercy.

"The lower officials are also forced to do nothing!"

"I don't even want to... If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have dared to kill the officials..."

Du Ruhui's face was cold: "Who did you give the cold iron horn bow to?"

"It's the prince!"

Lu Chengqing hurriedly said: "Someone came with the crown prince's token, and the official was obsessed with ghosts for a while... It was the prince who threatened his wealth and life, so this official..."

The voice fell, and there was silence in the tent.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Du Ruhui looked serious, "If you are found out to have framed the crown prince, you will be punished!"

"Everything I said is true! If it wasn't for the crown prince's token, how could I... How could I... Your Excellency, spare my life! I will recruit all the subordinates, and I beg all of you to save your life!"

"Pull it down and put it in prison!" Wei Zheng frowned and shouted coldly.

Lu Chengqing was still begging for mercy, and was subsequently taken away.

in the tent.

Several speakers from various ministries all had extremely serious expressions on their faces.

They also tried to think, could it be the prince?

But now that the news has been confirmed, the inner shock is still huge.

"If the prince is involved, this matter will be troublesome."

Zhang Liang frowned, turned to look at Wei Zheng, and asked tentatively, "Master Wei, do you want to inform His Majesty about this?"

"It's inevitable!" Wei Zheng said without hesitation, "The prince's own mistakes must be borne by him!"

"The national war is coming. If the news spreads, the crown prince will definitely be deposed. At that time, there will be turmoil inside and outside the court, which may ruin the country's plans!"

But Wei Zhengyi said solemnly: "The law is strict, how can he be allowed to do whatever he wants?"

"As a courtier, we should just do our part. As for how to make a choice, that is His Majesty's business."

"No need to say more!"

"I will immediately enter the palace to face the saint!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng got up and hurried out to leave.

……

"What did you say?!"

Li Xiao looked at Lu Li with a look of surprise.

"Your Highness, Lu Chengqing, the servant of the Ministry of War, has already recruited, and the cold iron horn bow was indeed taken away through him." Lu Li said slowly.

"Who took it?"

"I don't know." Lu Li shook his head, "Master Wei didn't disclose the information, and his subordinates only heard so much."

"If I'm not wrong, the prince should have done it." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.

"How is your Highness sure?"

"Because of Li Ke."

"King of Han?"
