"what did you just say?"
Li Chengqian stared at Gao Zhixing and asked.
"ah?"
Gao Zhixing was a little confused, but he still said: "A plan that links one link to another?"
"No, that's not it."
Li Chengqian shook his head and said.
Just now, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.
But the lightning is fleeting.
He now wanted to be sure what exactly he heard Gao Zhixing say just now.
Gao Zhixing scratched his head and carefully thought about what he had just said.
"These schemes are linked together, and we don't hesitate to spend several years and dozens of lives to frame one person."
"I'm afraid these people have a grudge against Li Chongyi for killing his father..."
Gao Zhixian repeated what he had just said.
And Li Chengqian also felt that the light in his mind was getting brighter and brighter.
Li Chengqian suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's it."
"Nine times out of ten, this matter is not coming for us."
Gao Zhixing became even more puzzled by what he said.
Didn't you come for them?
What's the meaning?
Li Chengqian said: "At first, I thought this was done by a powerful person in the court."
"After all, Li Chongyi now also serves as the chief instructor of the Wuhan Academy."
"There are too many people in the government who care about his position."
"But you reminded me."
Li Chengqian said quietly: "I still remember that Chongyi got married in the fourth year of Zhenguan."
"The matter between him and the Sun family's little sister is still the matchmaker provided by your family and my sister."
"In the fifth year of Zhenguan, my sister-in-law became pregnant. When the emperor was happy, he expanded a large courtyard in the palace for the young couple to live."
"This also means that the slaves who died in his yard were likely to have entered the mansion at that time."
"Seven years have passed since the fifth year of Zhenguan."
"We might as well sum it up carefully. Who would have started planning in advance seven years ago?"
The plan started seven years ago, preparing to trap someone.
This obviously cannot be done by ordinary powerful people.
After all, what the powerful want is profit.
If there is no benefit to be gained, who would have no time to raise the dead and throw it into other people's homes years in advance?
Li Chongyi's real fortune came seven years ago when he went to aid Silla with Li Chengqian. He made a name for himself by fighting against the Japanese dwarf at sea.
But by that time, the servants had already entered the house.
Therefore, the person who did these things must not be simply because Li Chongyi blocked the way of others.
After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Gao Zhixing seemed to understand.
Li Ke and others were also lost in thought.
I don’t know how long it took.
Gao Zhixing suddenly took a breath of air.
"So to say……"
"Does the person behind this plan have a grudge against that guy Li Chongyi?"
Li Ke nodded after hearing this.
"I think it's very possible."
"And maybe, as you said, he and Chongyi might have a grudge against killing their father."
Li Ke turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Brother Emperor, do you still remember who he committed his crime against?"
This question really stopped Li Chengqian.
Speaking of him, he does have many enemies.
There are countless people who want his life.
But if you want to ask him who Li Chongyi has offended.
Then he really couldn't tell.
As mentioned before, Li Chongyi and his son are well-known good old men in Chang'an City.
Especially after the Li and Sun families got married, he gained the reputation of a good prince.
But who is it that can spend several years to frame him?
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you ask me that, how can I remember it?"
"Then change it to a way you can remember."
Gao Zhixing thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, Li Chongyi was always with you in the early years."
"If I have to say there are enemies, I think it must be related to you."
Li Chengqian was unhappy when he saw that he was going to pass the blame on him.
"I have something to do with it."
"In the second year of Zhenguan, he was thrown into the western suburbs camp by my father."
"At that time, I was still a half-grown child. How could I understand anything?"
Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "Later, when he got married, I gave him some encouragement."
"Um……"
"This royal brother did not tell lies."
Li Ke said with a smile: "This matter was a big deal at the time, and now there are still people talking about it."
"Yo ho."
Gao Zhixing suddenly became interested: "If you tell me this, I won't be sleepy anymore. When Chongyi got married, I was still floating outside."
"Come on, Lord Shu, let's spread it out and talk about it!"
Seeing his appearance, Li Ke smiled helplessly.
"It's actually not a big deal."
"At the beginning, Chongyi fell in love with a girl from the Cui family. She seemed to be named Cui Yinghe."
"In order to marry her, my cousin worked very hard."
"I heard that the emperor was tied to a pillar and beaten for several days, but he still hasn't changed his mind. It's like he has lost his soul."
Li Ke said slowly: "Later, I don't know what happened between my royal brother and your royal sister, but he suddenly changed his mind and married a girl from the Sun family."
"etc……"
Li Chengqian suddenly interrupted Li Ke.
He squinted his eyes and looked a little wandering.
If you ask, who does Li Chongyi have a grudge against?
Then the Cui family is definitely one.
Because according to the timeline, the downfall of the Cui family at that time was directly related to Li Chongyi.
It was his appearance that made Li Chengqian notice this arrogant family, and also made them form a deadly feud with Li Chengqian.
In the end, the Cui family persuaded Li Tai to assassinate Li Chengqian and Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin killed the nine tribes.
But.
Aren’t their entire families dead?
Li Chengqian frowned, looked at Li Ke and said, "When we killed the Cui family, was there anyone left alive?"
"Probably not."
"Isn't that an errand done by Lord Changsun himself?"
Li Ke raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think Lord Changsun will be merciful?"
The Cui family killed Changsun Wuji's two nephews in one fell swoop.
How could Changsun Wuji show mercy to them?
However, the Cui family was one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes at that time, and had great influence.
Li Chengqian didn't believe that Old Man Cui didn't leave any backup options for him...
At this time.
Several people in the venue also reacted.
Gao Zhixing was the first to speak: "My Royal Highness, you don't think that the Cui family is the initiator, do you?"
"I think so."
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and said: "If Cui Jia left one or two people alive and went to another place to hide and wait for the opportunity for revenge, then everything that happened to Li Chongyi would make sense."
indeed.
If it was done by the Cui family.
Then it all makes sense.
Gao Zhixing pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Li Chengqian looked deeply and said, "I have a premonition."
"What happened with Chongyi is just the beginning."
"If we can't find the source."
"In the days to come, if we don't protect ourselves, other people who have participated in the Cui family's affairs will be involved..."
