After Yulong left, Li Daoxuan sat quietly alone for a long time.
His heart was not at peace. Yulong's words were like a bolt from the blue, tearing a hole in the cloudy truth.
The man in black robe is the legitimate son of Li Yuan, the younger brother of Li Shimin, the King of Qi Li Yuanji?
This statement sounds very absurd, but if you take a closer look, you will find that everything seems reasonable, and many puzzling places have been solved.
Why could the man in black robe break the dragon spirit in Li Shimin?
Because he is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he even plotted to seize the emperor's throne back then. The Dragon Qi can stop the monks in the world, but it can only stop the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, the magic weapons containing dragon energy in the hands of bad people are ineffective against him.
In addition, the identity of the spy who holds a high position in the palace is also self-evident.
That was Li Yuanji's princess in the past, and now one of Li Shimin's four concubines, Concubine Yang!
Now think about it, is Concubine Yang really unchaste and charming?
Li Daoxuan once looked down on her. After his husband died, he frequently entered the palace through his friendship with Queen Changsun, and then hooked up with the enemy who killed his husband, his brother.
But what if Li Yuanji is not dead?
Was all this even what Li Yuanji asked her to do?
When Li Daoxuan thought of this possibility, there was a faint chill behind Li Daoxuan. Without further ado, he immediately used his magical power to summon the clouds and rushed to Gaoyangyuan in Chang'an County.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether there were any corpses in Li Yuanji's tomb!
…
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
After Li Shimin ended his morning court, he left Li Chunfeng alone.
"My dear, have you caught the man in black robe?"
Li Chunfeng sighed: "I am incompetent. Although I ordered Jin Wuwei and the bad guys to search Chang'an City, they still couldn't find it."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Perhaps he has escaped from Chang'an?"
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I have calculated many times that the man is still in the city and has never escaped. Besides, bad guys have guarded the city gates in all directions, and the man is still seriously injured. It is impossible You can fool their eyes.”
Li Shimin said doubtfully: "This is strange."
After a pause, he said: "Let's search for two more days. If we still can't catch it after two days, let's put it down temporarily."
Li Chunfeng wanted to persuade, but he waved his hand to stop him.
"The Longmen Immortal Meeting is coming soon, and praying for rain is the most important thing. The people have been waiting for this rain for too long."
Li Chunfeng saluted and said: "No!"
At this time, Gao Quan came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhenren Li from Longhu Mountain asked to see him. He said that he already knows who the man in black robe is and where he is hiding!"
Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng raised their heads at the same time, their eyes trembling.
"Hahaha, Taichong is really my lucky star. We were worried about this, so he came to solve my problem!"
"Invite him in quickly and offer him a seat."
"promise!"
When Li Daoxuan entered the palace, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Taichong, you have figured out something that even Li Chunfeng cannot calculate? It seems that his title of divine calculation is not guaranteed!"
Li Chunfeng didn't speak, but stared at Li Daoxuan closely, his eyes very solemn.
Li Shimin also noticed something was wrong with Li Daoxuan's expression, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I do know the identity of the man in black robe, but... do you really want to hear it?"
Li Shimin's eyes were calm and he said decisively: "Of course, this person's crime of assassinating the king and killing the driver is unforgivable. If we catch him, we may be able to follow the clues and uncover many people with ulterior motives!"
Li Chunfeng couldn't help but ask: "Zhenren Li, who is that person?"
"He is Your Majesty's younger brother, King Qi, Li Yuanji!"
When Li Daoxuan said these words, the huge Manlu Hall suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Li Shimin's hands tightly grasped the dragon chair, his fingers turned white, and there was a breathtaking calmness in his eyes.
In contrast, Li Chunfeng shook his body and looked deep in thought.
"Taichong, King Qi died in the ninth year of Wude. General Yuchi shot him with his own hands. On the day of his burial, I personally went to pay homage to him, so there is no doubt about it."
After a pause, he said: "Taichong, don't tell such jokes again in the future."
The Xuanwu Gate Incident was the memory he least wanted to think of. Since he ascended the throne, none of the civil and military officials dared to mention it. He had not heard the name Li Yuanji for a long time.
This is because Li Daoxuan is a person he values very much, and he has saved his life by painting a dragon before, so he forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart.
If it were anyone else, even close ministers like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, he would probably be furious at this moment.
Li Dao
Li Shimin stared at him closely and asked, "What's the result?"
"The coffin...is empty, and there are no bones!"
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, as if they had a sword-like edge.
"Impossible, Jingde can't betray me!"
He was categorical.
If King Qi is not dead, it means that Yuchi Jingde lied back then, which Li Shimin, who has always been confident, cannot accept.
He and Yuchi Jingde had been in the army for many years, often charging into battle together, and even fought side by side several times to break out of tight sieges. Yuchi Jingde even saved him several times. The two of them were both kings and ministers in the palace and fellow soldiers on the battlefield.
At this time, Li Chunfeng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, General Yuchi is very loyal and probably did not lie. However, if there is an expert behind King Qi to save him, he may not be able to survive."
After a pause, although he knew that what he said next would offend Long Yan and even make Li Shimin lose face, he still said it without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, if the man in black robe is really the King of Qi, then the spy hiding in the palace will be exposed!"
Li Shimin's body swayed slightly and his face turned pale.
With his intelligence, he would naturally not fail to understand who Li Chunfeng was referring to.
But if it was really her, then the tenderness and sweetness between the two of them and her thoughtful care for him were all just flattery and hidden motives...
"This matter...let me think about it again."
He had a deep relationship with Concubine Yang, otherwise he would not have ignored the objections of the ministers and canonized her as one of the four concubines. Although there were many beauties in the entire harem, there were only two he liked the most. One was Empress Changsun. One is Concubine Yang.
"His Majesty!"
Li Chunfeng took a step forward and continued to give advice.
But at this moment, the chief eunuch Gao Quan walked in again and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Concubine Yang is ill. It seems to be very serious. She asks you to go and visit her!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed and he said: "If you don't get sick early, you won't get sick later. It's such a coincidence that you get sick at this time."
Li Chunfeng thought more deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you must never go!"
"I finally understand why I couldn't find the man in black robe despite searching Chang'an City. It's because he didn't leave the palace, but hid in Concubine Yang's palace, playing a trick under the lamp."
"I expected that his injuries were very serious. At this moment, I am afraid that he wants to drag you to death together. Concubine Yang is not sick. She is clearly trying to trick you into cooperating with King Qi!"
Li Shimin was silent for a long time. He was a smart man, and his reason told him that what Li Chunfeng said was probably right.
but……
"I have made up my mind to go see Concubine Yang."
"His Majesty--"
"I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have not penetrated any dragons, ponds, or tiger's dens. Now that I am in my Tai Chi Palace, why should I be afraid?"
After a pause, Li Shimin sighed, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and said: "What's more, if it is really King Qi, I also want to... see him again."

Three updates today and one more tonight.
