The news came suddenly and for no reason, and no one knew what the situation was.

Siyi Pavilion, Silla Residence.

Choi Fuji told Kim Seung-man a little panickedly about the news he had inquired about.

He knew that Jin Shengman had pressed Bao on Li Yuanai. Once Li Yuanai lost his identity as the royal relative of the Shang King, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be wasted?

When Jin Shengman heard the news, his expression also changed drastically and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with King Shang? It doesn't matter?"

Cui Fuzhi looked at the nervous Princess Silla in a strange way and said, "The news is just a rumor, and it may not be true. Besides, even if it is true, this matter has nothing to do with the King of Shang. If you are exempted from the title, you will not be punished too much if you make a contribution to the Heavenly Dynasty by the King of Shang."

"Just..." he continued: "This rumor came suddenly and quickly, and it was obviously intentional by someone who was interested. If it weren't for a certain reliance, such rumors would not be spread. Many times, the more unbelievable the rumors are, the more credible the more. After all, there are many ways to slander a person. Ordinary people will not use such unlikely things to slander others."

Cui Fuzhi has been in Chang'an for more than ten years and is as insightful as watching the fire.

However, Jin Shengman seemed to have not heard the analysis. After thinking for a moment, he breathed a long sigh and said, "That's right, Your Majesty has always been kind. He has always been generous to the ministers who have made meritorious things and will not cause too much trouble."

She thought for a while and suddenly said, "I hope this matter is true. It is best to suffer grievances and unfair treatment, but it is a good thing."

Choi Fuji looked stunned.

Kim Seung-man said: "There are so talented people. If you really suffer grievances, you can invite him to our Silla. In Silla, no one can deceive him."

Choi Fuji was speechless and understood in his heart that Jin Shengman pressed Bao on Li Yuan Ai, and said something else if he was pressing him down.

But I got stuck in it, that's for sure.

Imperial City.

Such serious news was soon discovered by Zongzheng Temple. Although there was no obvious evidence, after weighing the matter, it was decided to report it to Li Shimin for information.

After Li Shimin got this incident, he was very surprised and could not believe it. He drove Zongzheng Temple Minister out of the inner palace.

Li Shimin did not take this matter seriously at all, and he asked Changsun Wuji to Lizheng Hall for dinner until dusk.

"Super machine, what rumors do you hear?"

At the dinner table, Li Shimin said straight to the point.

Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "But the matter between the Shang King and the Emperor's parents and children?"

Li Shimin nodded slowly: "I didn't find any evidence at Zongzheng Temple, everything is normal. This rumor came too suddenly because it was not just a simple gossip."

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is true, not a message."

Li Shimin said solemnly: "So, do you know the details?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Minister always thought that only one of the ministers knew about this matter, but he didn't expect that there was a second person who knew about it."

Li Shimin asked, "Let me tell me what's going on?"

Changsun Wuji said: "This is about what happened after Xuanwu Sect. Although Your Majesty was lucky enough to win, he still had internal and external troubles."

Li Shimin nodded and expressed his understanding that the transition of imperial power has been full of all kinds of conspiracy and dangers since ancient times, let alone his incorrect position?

Li Yuan has two sons with imperial talents, which is the greatest luck and the greatest misfortune.

Emperor Li Yuan was the most leisurely because Li Jiancheng handled political affairs and consolidated the border. Li Shimin fought against the world and swept the princes.

The two cooperated with each other, and Li Yuan had to make decisions on big things and let them handle small things.

Li Shimin gained power in the world after his mutiny. How could those soldiers who finally Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng be willing to do so?

Why did Jie Li Khan lead the Turkic army to march straight into the Wei River and outside Chang'an City?

It is because Li Jiancheng is responsible for the border defense, and the soldiers guarding the border are all Li Jiancheng's people.

When Li Jiancheng died, they were so panicked that they were revenge. Who had the heart to guard the frontier?

All kinds of internal and external troubles cannot be understood by non-parties.

Changsun Wuji continued, "Everything else is a small matter, but the attitude of the late emperor is the top priority. So the minister bribed the confidants beside the late emperor to explore the truth and reality. By chance, the minister found the Shang king's biological mother, Tao Concubine at that time. She had no other accomplices in the palace and outside the palace, and her only relative died. Therefore, the late emperor felt that she was trustworthy. Tao Concubine at that time agreed to act as a minister's eyewitness, but there was a condition. After the matter was completed, she would let her leave the palace and live an ordinary life. This matter was not difficult, and the minister agreed."

"But, the request she made later made me doubt. She asked to take the King of Shang away. This minister was helpless. Although the Tao Concubine was humble at that time, the King of Shang did not like him very much when he was a child. After all, it was the royal bloodline, so there was no reason to let the royal bloodline flow out."

"The ministers also became suspicious because of this. No matter how unwilling they were, with the identity of the son of the previous emperor, they could still make the mother and son have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. It might be understandable that the Tao Concubine was helpless outside and left the palace alone. But it would be strange if she brought the Shang King out of the palace."

"The minister set up a trap in his words, forcing her to let her say something and learn about the situation. In this way, the Tao Concubine Cao became the minister's eyewitness of the imperial guards and Yuan Cong's imperial guards."

"I didn't expect that things in the world were impermanent. My damn brother actually turned his elbow out, helping King Yi'an Li Xiaochang to rebel, and took advantage of his power to make the rebels heading straight to the inner palace forbidden garden. Cao's army died in battle to protect the First Emperor. In fact, what he protected was not necessarily the First Emperor, but the Tao Concubine and the King of Shang who were with the First Emperor."

"Peo Concubine seemed to die of illness because of this, and then the Shang King unexpectedly became the most respected prince of the late emperor."

When Li Shimin heard this, he said, "Why didn't you explain it at that time?"

Changsun Wuji said: "At that time, the Emperor of Shang was regarded as a treasure for some reason, and kept it by his side all the time, and was very fond of him. The ministers were worried that for a young child, they would hurt the harmony between the father and son again. At that time, His Majesty had stabilized the court, and a King of Shang would not have any more salary, and could not cause any storm. The relationship between His Majesty and the Emperor of Shang was the top priority."

Li Shimin nodded silently, and he could understand Changsun Wuji's thoughts.

As a perfectionist, he knew that the charge of killing his brother could not be washed away, but his reputation for being unfilial was too great that he could not afford to bear it.

Looking at all historical materials, all the things that kill brothers and brothers are truthfully recorded, but they are very secretive about forcing their fathers to imprison their fathers.

"Actually..." Changsun Wuji said here, suddenly remembering something and said, "It was seven years ago, and I wanted to explain it to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Sixteen drowning?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "The King of Shang was an alternative among the kings at that time. He was restricted to Chang'an and could not afford it. Some absurd topics of talk were easily forgotten. At that time, the King of Shang was not long after, so he thought of explaining this matter to His Majesty, removing him from the genealogy, and pretending that there was no such person. It happened that the son Changsun of the Dog rushed to Yu Zongzheng Temple and took action to let the King of Tao Li Yuanqing take over. Unexpectedly, the King of Shang actually recovered from his miraculous illness. Later, His Majesty knew that after the King of Shang came back, the changes had been greatly made and made many great contributions to our dynasty. Especially the unblocking of the canal and conquering Goguryeo, it had become an indispensable existence, which was even hard to say."

Li Shimin pondered for a while and said, "Then do you think anyone else knows this inside story?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and said, "The old minister is really frightened and I don't know. I'm afraid the King of Shang himself doesn't know about this. When the Tao Concubine and Cao's army died, the King of Shang still didn't remember it. For a long time, the old minister thought that the old minister knew about this. When the King of Shang made many achievements for the country, he did not care about personal gains and losses, and put the court first. He thought that this matter would disappear with the death of the old minister, and he couldn't figure out who could understand the inside story."

Li Shimin sighed deeply: "Who else besides his father?"

Changsun Wuji looked at him and did not speak.

Li Shimin said with a bit of tragic smile: "If the father knew all this, would Pei Ji, the only person he trusted, know? Will Pei Ji's son, Lawyer Pei? For his own selfishness, this man framed his friends and became an official in the past. After years of separation, he went to Chang'an to disrupt this storm. It was really hateful."

"Auxiliary, the old emperor has left so many brothers for me. Except for Sixteen, none of them can save me worry. Only Sixteen can speak thoughtful words with me. You and I will take a look at his credit. Regardless of whether it is true or false, I will recognize this brother. I don't want to hear rumors about such things anymore. Go and do it well."

Changsun Wuji took the order solemnly.

Changsun Wuji left the palace and returned to Changsun Mansion. Chu Suiliang stuck on it like a fly.

"I've seen Sikong!"

Chu Suiliang bowed to pay homage.

Changsun Wuji looked at this political ally whom he supported and smiled and said, "Dengshan, I heard that Lingtang was ill in bed, is there any such thing?"

Chu Suiliang had an ominous premonition in his heart and said, "Jia Ci was indeed feeling cold occasionally. She had already visited the doctor, and it was not a big deal."

Changsun Wuji ignored it and said, "The greatest sorrow of this ginseng is that the son wants to raise his parents but his parents are not waiting for him. Lingtang is bedridden. As a son, you should serve the people. As for the future, let's talk about it later."

Chu Suiliang stood stunned for a while, his face as if dead, and said, "Suiliang understands this way, Sikong hopes to take care of himself."

After staggering, Chu Suiliang left Changsun Mansion and Xiu wrote a memorial to resign from his post and serve his mother.

If he did not write this memorial, he would not even leave with decent decentness.

Lawyer Pei caught Princess Gaoyang and had an affair with Bianji, causing trouble all over the city.

Li Shimin already had an objection to Lawyer Pei, but Lawyer Pei enforced the law impartially, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only give him a commendation.

Now that this situation is happening again, Lawyer Pei is doomed, and Chu Suiliang, who recommended Lawyer Pei, cannot escape.

If you really find out that he is an insider, even if this matter was not revealed by him, he would be covered in shit.

Leaving is the only way. Only by leaving the temple can Changsun Wuji be able to keep it.

Chu Suiliang walked out of the door and suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Sikong, Lawyer Pei is gone. Half a month ago, he had already collected the office from Yongzhou Prefecture and returned to his hometown in Hedong to recuperate. It is unknown whether he will be in his hometown in Hedong."

Generally speaking, the actual route is extremely accurate.

Ordinary people have taken the house from Chang'an to Bianzhou, passing Luoyang, and reaching Bianzhou. But if you take a long way to go, walk to Hedong, or go to Runan Yuzhou, you will be investigated and interrogated, or even go directly to prison.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to pass through the displayed destination Hedong. You cannot go to Taiyuan or go to Henan.

But everything has exceptions. If there is an urgent matter, you can use your identity to exchange it for a new place in a prefecture like Luoyang, as long as the reason is appropriate.

Lawyer Pei has a public office, which is very convenient for this operation.

While Changsun Wuji arranged for someone to go to Wenxi County, the hometown of Peijia, Hedong, to find Lawyer Pei, while sending people to Luoyang, Zezhou and Luzhou government offices to see if Lawyer Pei found a local government office on the way and changed his itinerary.

Sure enough, at the Zezhou Prefecture Office, Lawyer Pei found out that he had asked local officials to change his itinerary in the Luzhou Prefecture Office.

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Where did you change?"

The servant immediately replied: "Huaishuo Town, Northland."

Changsun Wuji was about to give an order, but his expression moved slightly and he sneered: "I actually played the game of catching a cat and a mouse with me. You are still a little tender."

Dengzhou, seaport.

The navigation industry was not very developed at this time.

Maritime trade is full of dangers.

Although maritime trade is fast and convenient, as long as you encounter risks, you will lose everything and lose everything.

Therefore, compared with sea transportation, most merchants would rather go to land.

Although it is troublesome, at least safe and reliable.
