Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

The guards of the Prince of Wei's palace were all imperial guards in the palace, not all of them were Li Tai's men.

Only the spies led by Wei Suan and the killers he recruited were Li Tai's absolute confidants.

Wei Suan said solemnly: "As you command, I will arrange it now."

After saying this, he quickly left the Wude Hall.

Li Tai remained silent for a moment, then walked out of the hall, waved and shouted to the servants in the distance.

"Get your sedan ready. I need to go to Ganlu Palace to meet my father."

"promise."

After the attendant saluted respectfully, he quickly ran down to prepare.

Although the Wude Hall is not far from the Ganlu Hall, Li Tai is too fat and would easily break into sweat after walking this short distance.

Li Shimin loved his beloved son Li Tai, so he allowed him to ride in a sedan chair in the palace.

Apart from the late Prince's Tutor Li Gang, only Li Tai could enjoy this favor.

Even the lame Li Chengqian did not receive such treatment.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Li Tai's sedan chair arrived at Ganlu Palace, and when Li Shimin heard that Li Tai was coming, he did not continue to review the memorials, but took time out to meet him.

"Qingque, please take a seat."

After Li Tai sat down, Li Shimin smiled and said, "I came to see you today, father. Do you have any masterpieces to publish?"

Now the four ministers, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and Li Baiyao, are all teaching Qingque literature in the Prince of Wei's palace.

Except for teacher Kong Yingda who did not give any feedback, the other three ministers all praised Qingque's performance.

Li Tai said obediently: "Father, the rumor that the ghost killed people has been dispelled under your wise command."

"Now it is late autumn, and today's weather is sunny and windy. I think your father is very tired from working hard on state affairs day and night, so I want to invite your father to Furong Garden to relax."

Li Shimin was deeply moved when he heard his eldest son's heartwarming words.

After being an emperor for more than ten years, he could not feel the love of his father or the friendship of his brothers.

And now the sons are also causing trouble, some are rebelling, some are planning a rebellion.

It is said that there is no family affection among the royal family. This has become particularly obvious since the sons have grown up.

After expressing his inner feelings, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with tenderness in his eyes.

Among so many sons, Qingque cares about him the most.

This son is not loved in vain!

Li Shimin waved his hand gently and said comfortingly: "Qingque is thoughtful. Father has too many government affairs to deal with and can't spare the time for a while. You can go to Furong Garden for a walk by yourself."

"After being bored in the palace for so many days, it would be nice to go to Hibiscus Garden to enjoy the autumn scenery."

In late autumn, the leaves in Hibiscus Garden turn golden yellow and the strong wind blows the fallen leaves all over the place, making it look like a fairyland on earth.

A trace of regret appeared on Li Tai's face.

He propped up his fat body and stood up, cupping his hands in admiration and saying, "The people of the Tang Dynasty are so lucky to be ruled by an emperor as wise and diligent as my father!"

"Hahaha."

When Li Shimin heard this, he laughed happily.

He waved his hand and said, "Qingque, if you want to go to Hibiscus Garden, leave quickly. It will be dark if you are late."

"Father, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave."

Li Tai bowed deeply and respectfully, then walked out of Ganlu Hall slowly.

When he returned to the Wude Hall, there was a smile of triumph on his smiling face.

At this critical juncture, if he rashly went to Furong Garden, he might be suspected by someone with ulterior motives.

Therefore, he took a tactic of retreating to advance and directly invited his father to Furong Garden.

He also knew that his father needed to make preparations in advance when traveling, and his father would definitely not come if he was invited at the last minute this time.

Wei Suan walked into the hall and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, everything is ready. Do you need to call Lord Wei and Lord Du?"

Li Tai said in a deep voice: "No need, they are busy with government affairs now, just follow me."

"Prepare the sedan chair, we'll set off now!"

Li Tai said anxiously.

The murder case of the Xie ghost was solved very quickly thanks to the advice of Du He.

Li Tai didn't know what kind of evidence Du He had. Once he found any clues, it would be troublesome.

...

Hibiscus Garden.

Outside the secret room.

Wei Suan brought several assassins armed with swords and waited at the gate.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, there were killers recruited by the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

Inside the secret room.

Li Tai, with a murderous look on his face, and Yin Yuhe, with a calm look, sat opposite each other.

Yin Yuhe seemed not to feel Li Tai's gaze. He picked up the teacup and blew away the hot steam leisurely, with his fair and tender hand raised as if he had raised an orchid finger.

Today, Yin Yuhe's thin lips were covered with red lip balm, which matched his fair and pretty face, making him look like a woman.

His look made Li Tai feel nauseous.

There was silence for a moment.

Li Tai gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice: "Yin Yuhe, why did you kill so many people?"

Yin Yuhe said slowly, "Your Highness, Prince of Wei, if you don't make a bigger noise, how can you achieve the current effect?"

"Now, are there no voices among the common people discussing you?"

His voice today was different from last time, this time it became thinner and crisper.

In a trance, Li Tai felt that the person sitting opposite him was a beautiful and cold woman.

But judging by his attire and his flat chest, he is a real man.

Li Tai suppressed his nausea and said in a cold voice: "Are you going to stop here, or continue the action?"

Hearing what Li Tai said, Yin Yuhe smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Wei, if we don't stop, are you going to deal with us?"

Li Tai's pupils suddenly shrank.

This Yin Yuhe seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and actually knew what he was thinking.

"Haha." Yin Yuhe sneered twice, and then said: "It seems that my guess is correct, Your Highness the King of Wei, you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it!"

Li Tai stood up and glared at him, his voice suddenly increased: "You almost ruined my future, how can I allow you to cause trouble again?"

After hearing Li Tai's words, Wei Suan pushed open the door of the secret room.

Wei Suan rushed in with his assassins. After they surrounded Yin Yu, they drew their swords against him.

Facing the sharp blade, Yin Yuhe still showed no fear.

He glanced at the killers around him, then looked at Wei Suan, then spoke calmly.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, we have worked hard for you. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. Is this how you treat people who have done you a great service?"

"Lord Wei Suan has done so many dirty things for you. When you don't need him anymore, will you get rid of him to prevent future troubles?"

Hearing Yin Yuhe's words of sowing discord, Wei Suan couldn't help but glance at Li Tai.

In the Prince of Wei's palace, he was the one who arranged people to solve all the shady matters.

According to Tang law, he deserves death a hundred times.

Li Tai quickly shouted, "Yin Yuhe, stop trying to sow discord between me and Wei Suan. He is my most trusted confidant!"

“Haha, now I’m your confidant, but it’s hard to say in the future!”

Yin Yuhe continued to test Li Tai's bottom line.

I have to say, people say this thing is scary.

Even though people know it is meant to sow discord, people who hear it will still have some thoughts in their minds.

Li Tai knew he couldn't continue talking, so he gave the order directly: "Do it!"

Just as several assassins were about to chop at Yin Yuhe, Yin Yuhe suddenly pulled down her hair.

I saw long, smooth hair falling down like silk.

"this..."

Everyone in the secret room was stunned as they watched Yin Yuhe transform into a beautiful woman who brought disaster to the country and the people in front of them.

One of the assassins asked in a staccato tone, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, are you going to kill the thief...the thief?"
