Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 2739 2741 [Voluntary invitation]

"The child will follow the mother's orders and actively strive to go to the western region. To avenge the emperor's brother, relieve the father's worries, and eliminate the harm for the rich dynasty." Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said loudly.

"Okay." Seeing Xiang Nan's fighting spirit so high, Zhang Meiniang couldn't help but smiled and nodded, "Good boy, you can say that, I'm really happy to be your mother.

In this way, you go to your uncle's house again. Your uncle Gao Xian is the General of the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory, with a strong army of 100,000 soldiers. If you can get his assistance in your trip to the west this time, it will be like a tiger with wings added. "

When Xiang Nan heard this, he nodded.

...

The next day Li Yu called a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, the people of Danchi dare to assassinate my Prince Fengchao, they simply don't take me seriously!"

"Danchi people have been doing harm to our borders. I heard that the places they pass are like locusts passing through the border. The people have already complained."

"Soldiers, an ominous weapon. Dan Chi lives on the ice field, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 100,000 cavalry. I think it is not easy to start a war lightly."

"The truth about the prince's assassination has not yet been found out, and it may not be true that it was done by Dan Chi. Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to investigate thoroughly in order to clarify the truth."

All the ministers made suggestions one after another.

"Lord Zhong, what do you think?" Li Xi looked at King Zhong and said.

"Your Majesty, this assassination was definitely not a sudden intention of the Danchi people. It should be that they had a careful plan before the prince left, which shows that the Danchi people have long since opposed it. Now they must have accumulated a large number of troops and are preparing to fight with me. The rich dynasty is openly fighting." King Zhong said immediately.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he became more and more convinced that King Zhong was an idiot. There is no logic at all in what he said.

First of all, the Danchi people don't know when the prince will leave, and how can they plan carefully in advance;

Secondly, even if Dan Chi wants to start a war, he can just attack the city of Fengchao directly, and it is impossible to assassinate Prince Fengchao. For them, that doesn't do any good.

Because of the purpose of war, one is land, the other is wealth, and the third is population. The prince's trip didn't touch anything, so why did Dan Chi assassinate him? Wouldn't it be superfluous.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Xi, he also remained silent.

At this time, Li Chengye stood up, "Father, my son is willing to lead the army to drive the Danchi people back beyond Yanzhi Mountain, and never cross the border again, and also avenge my brother."

When Xiang Nan heard this, he secretly sighed.

Li Chengye is not smart enough either.

King Zhong's words were illogical and could not convince Li Xi that the assassination was done by Dan Chi.

Li Chengye couldn't see it, and still proposed to lead the army to the northwest.

The name is to avenge his father and brother, but in fact the purpose is not to build up military exploits so as to seek the crown prince.

His thinking is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Li Yu still didn't express his opinion.

...

"Father, my son thinks that although the people of Danchi are bold and arrogant, under the suppression of our dynasty in recent years, they are still afraid." Xiang Nan stood up and said, "The assassination of the prince happened suddenly, and there may be dangers. Strange, it's too hasty to raise troops before finding out the truth of the matter."

Gao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard what Xiang Nan said.

These words were exactly what he wanted to say. Because he knew that Prince Li Chengji was not killed by Danchi people.

The reason is that Gao Xian had a secret deal with the Danchi people in the Western Territory Protectorate. The Danchi people robbed the border of Feng Dynasty every three months, and then they were expelled by Gao Xian's army.

In this way, the people of Danchi got benefits, and their military achievements were high, which is the so-called self-respect of the bandits. Therefore he knew that the death of the crown prince had nothing to do with the people of Danchi.

In addition, after the prince went to the west, the Gao family actually sent people to assassinate the prince. It's a pity that he was bravely killed by the prince, and his success fell short.

Now the prince was really assassinated, obviously there is a second wave of assassins.

And this second wave of assassins was probably sent by Li Chengye and King Zhong.

Because according to common sense, whoever benefits the most after a person dies may be the real culprit.

Perhaps from this case, the evidence of Li Chengye's murder of the prince can be found, and then the second prince can be successfully brought down, and another powerful enemy can be eliminated for Li Chengyin to rise to power.

So he insisted on investigating the truth first. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Xiang Nan would speak for him, what a clever boy.

...

"Dan Chi is warlike by nature, if he doesn't give him a head-on blow this time, he will feed a tiger and cause endless trouble!" King Zhong said immediately after hearing this.

"Father, my son is wondering why the people of Danchi wanted to assassinate the prince? He did so much harm to other countries, but no benefit. Why did he do this? It's possible to be framed." Xiang Nan said again.

"Do you have evidence for what you say?" Li Xi looked at Xiang Nandao.

"There is no evidence yet." Xiang Nan bowed, "So I suggest that the imperial court send capable officials to the west to investigate the case, clarify the truth, find out the real culprit, and seek justice for the emperor."

"En." Li Zhen nodded, and then said, "The assassination of the crown prince of this dynasty is such a big matter, if there is no countermeasure, the neighboring countries will definitely think that our dynasty is weak and can be bullied.

Cheng Ye, I order you to lead the troops to Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory. First, thoroughly investigate the assassination of the prince; second, to deter the Northwest countries.

Cheng Yin, you take the mission to Xizhou. Although the prince was assassinated, the East Palace is still there. If the daughter of the king of Xizhou marries into the East Palace, she can strive for stability and peace in Xizhou, which is very important at this stage. "

"Yes, I would like to obey the holy orders." Xiang Nan and Li Chengye bowed and said.

However, Xiang Nan could already see that the emperor deliberately favored Li Chengye.

The prince was assassinated, but the emperor could see that Dan Chi was just a scapegoat.

Because as Xiang Nan said, Dan Chi's assassination of Prince Feng Chao would do a lot of harm but not a single benefit.

On the contrary, it is Feng Chao's own power, in order to compete for the throne, that is more likely to facilitate this matter.

And those who are qualified to compete for the throne are Li Chengye and Li Chengyin, so the culprit lies between Li Chengye and Li Chengyin.

Now that Li Chengye is arguing for a war before the truth is known, the suspicion is obviously greater.

But the emperor sent Li Chengye to investigate the case, and to investigate himself, it would be strange if he could find out the truth.

Obviously, he intended to protect Li Chengye, and also showed that he didn't really care about the truth about the prince's assassination, he just wanted to take this opportunity to repair Dan Chi.

On the one hand, Dan Chi invaded the border all the year round, harassed the rich dynasty, robbed property, and plundered the people, causing serious disasters, and accumulated a lot of hatred;

On the one hand, Dan Chi is now powerful and has 100,000 cavalry, which is a huge threat to the rich dynasty. It's time to give it a good beating before it becomes a serious problem.

As for sending Li Chengyin to Xizhou to seek marriage, it should be out of balance considerations.

After all, politics requires balance, since Li Chengye is given a candy, Li Chengyin must be given a jujube anyway.

...

Gao Ming is so smart, so he can see it naturally, and he can't help being vigilant in his heart.

The emperor was really too cold-blooded and ruthless, he didn't care how his own son died, he only thought about his own political interests.

It's really royal without father and son!
