Chapter 263
Chapter 263 The beginning and end of the incident
Through the confessions of the three personal samurai warriors around Rieko Morita, the description of Shengdeyan, the oral statements of the four Chang'an people, and Li Siqi's confession, Wei Zheng and others finally figured out the whole story of the palace poisoning case. However, in order to let Li Shimin know the result while allowing him to understand the detailed process of the case, Wei Zheng and others took great pains to sort out the case files again.
Finally, the file handed to Li Shimin described the content of the poisoning case in this way!
First, according to Li Siqi's confession, Li Ke performed brilliantly at the banquet celebrating the full moon of Prince Li Zhi, so they discussed with Fusang to follow Li Ke's path and seek benefits for their country through his relationship. However, after giving gifts, Li Ke not only did not agree to their request, but also collected money and did not do anything. Therefore, at the suggestion of Princess Fusang, they launched a crackdown and retaliation against Li Ke. They first began to understand the political structure of Chang'an and found that the princess assisted by Changsun Wuji, mainly Li Chengqian, was formed in the court of the Tang Dynasty, the Yue Wang Party supported by Wang Gui and others, and the Han Wang Party headed by Li Ke, headed by Li Ke, and the military power of the Han Wang Party headed by Li Chengqian. However, Li Chengqian was born with Li Tai and Li Tai's mother, and the relationship between them was relatively delicate. After understanding these situations,
Li Siqi, Gao Shouyan and Morita Rieko decided to start from Empress Changsun. In addition to being the most favored concubine of Li Shimin, another reason for choosing Empress Changsun was that the power behind Empress Changsun was strong, such as the national uncle Changsun Wuji, Changsun Shunde, etc., uncle Gao Shilian and others, and the two sons of Empress Changsun were Li Ke's mortal enemies, which would be more conducive to the implementation of their plan. After all, if Empress Changsun is deeply favored by Li Shimin, is there such a great power behind it? If there is something wrong with Empress Changsun, and this matter is still caused by Li Ke, Li Ke will definitely not be able to take it. Even when they plan, they thought of the consequences that Li Ke would encounter after the plan. The worst result was to be killed, and the best result was to be deposed.
With the goal of the plan, they formulated the plan and through multiple investigations, they determined one thing, that is, Queen Changsun was weak shortly after giving birth to prince Li Zhi, so she had been taking decoctions. This key point gave the Korean envoy Li Siqi an inspiration. They investigated them over and over again and finally got the list of decoctions that Queen Changsun took. With the list of decoctions that Queen Changsun took, she had a plan to put it in the decoctions.
However, when going to the palace to poison, the first problem to be solved is how to enter the palace, how to sneak into the medicinal kitchen and poison without realizing it, and then let Queen Changsun drink the medicine with peace of mind. This is the key to the problem. When the problem came to this place, they immediately thought about Xianglan, the personal palace maid next to Queen Changsun.
Li Siqi's confession ended their plan for poisoning and began to describe how to design Li Ke fell into this plan. After the domineering performance in Tai Chi Hall and cheated them of money, they were both respectful and hated. However, they themselves knew the advantages of Li Ke, that is, he was very amiable and able to put down his figure and get along with the people of Chang'an. Because of this, they began to design the scene of Li Ke saving people on Zhuque Street.
Sure enough, Li Ke fell into their plan. In order to save the old man on Zhuque Street, he personally went to the medicinal kitchen in the palace to get medicine, and he had their later plans.
Li Siqi's confession also said that they wanted to pull Tuyuhun's prince Murong Shun into the water afterwards, but Murong Shun respected Tuyuhun's Zuoxian King and could hear Fu Zhen's words more. Therefore, under Fu Zhen's obstruction, their plan failed and the conspiracy failed.
Li Siqi's confession was not very detailed, but Li Shimin could smell a sensitive smell from it, that is, the whole chapter of his confession did not mention the poisoning of Yin Fei. Li Shimin believed in Li Siqi's confession. After all, since he had confessed so much, he would definitely not hide it privately. However, his confession did not mention the issue of how Yin Fei was poisoned. Li Shimin couldn't help but think that when the antidote could only save one person, Li You generously said the words to save the Empress first.
Is there any deception in this? Li Shimin's face was sank when he thought of this, and he still kept Li Siqi's confession on the case table and continued to read the confession of three Fusang warriors.
The confession of Fusang samurai more describes how they sneaked into the imperial palace and how they went to the medicinal kitchen to poison. Of course, there are also questions about how they deceived Li Ke and how they ordered people to go to the Han Palace to eavesdrop on the conversation.
First of all, what Li Shimin saw was the confession of the warrior who was sent by Rieko Morita to eavesdrop on the study room by Rieko Morita to eavesdrop on the conversations of Li Ke and others. The confession said that he was sent by Rieko Morita to eavesdrop on the conversations of Li Ke and others by the study room of Li Ke and others. The purpose was to understand the actions of the Han King of Han, and then formulate countermeasures from it. Because after poisoning Empress Changsun, she was not poisoned to death and was rescued, which made their plan flaws and they needed timely remedies. The every move of Li Ke and King of Han was the key factor in their passive becoming active, so he was allowed to sneak into the Han King of Han and eavesdrop on the conversations of Li Ke and others.
The confessions of the two samurai were more complicated, because they were the old man who was poisoned on Suzaku Street and his little grandson. The two told them that their makeup and disguise skills were from Fusan ninjutsu. Because they had a high level of attainment in this area, it was difficult for others to find out the true or false after disguise, so they were sent by Rieko Morita to pretend to be a pair of young and old who were injured by poisoning. At the same time, the confession of another samurai warrior also mentioned that he sneaked into the palace and placed the poison in the queen and medicine. He first disguised as a guard and sneaked into the palace, and then disguised as a personal palace maid, Xianglan, who was next to Empress Changsun, put his brain in Queen Changsun's medicine. The person who killed Xianglan was also him, because when his plan was successful, he was about to leave, he could only kill someone to silence him.
He was very clear about how to pretend to be Xianglan and how to poison the queen. First, he fainted when Xianglan was not paying attention, dragged her to a secluded place, and then disguised herself as Xianglan to the medicinal kitchen to get medicine for Queen Changsun to take. Because, Queen Changsun’s personal maid, Queen Changsun had never doubted whether the medicine he handed her to her was poisonous. After Queen Changsun finished taking it, I was about to leave and suddenly found that the real Xianglan had awakened. In order to allow myself to leave safely, he lured the real Xianglan to the backyard of the medicinal kitchen to kill him, and then threw him into the well.
