Chapter 488 The Prince fell off his horse
Beiwang Mansion, Li Ke’s study.
Li Ke looked at the letter of response written by the Army Academy student who was placed on the table in front of him, and there was no expression on his face!
Now, after a period of training, the students of the Army Academy have already met the standards of high-quality soldiers. They no longer asked war to be invited to the palace as before. Instead, they began to write letters of response and acted more civilized.
However, when Li Ke saw this stack of characters, Ying Zhanshu, his face did not improve, and he still had a stern face.
"Your Highness, what should you do?" Wang Zhongchang asked carefully when he saw that Li Ke was in a bad mood. Even though Li Ke had never gotten angry, Wang Zhongchang was very cautious whenever he was unhappy.
"You can't ignore this matter. You must restrain them first. It is necessary to fight, but you still have to wait until I understand the whole story before I can agree to Murong Shun, otherwise we will be in a passive position." Li Ke thought for a moment and said to Wang Zhongchang.
Seeing that Wang Zhong knew it, he continued, "You can take this opportunity to increase their training volume. When necessary, students who are training key points can relax the standards so that they can play freely."
Li Ke said this to Wang Zhongchang, because he was just for the sake of Xue Rengui, Yuwen Guo and others.
After all, like Xue Rengui, Yuwen Guo, Meng Zhao and others, they all had their own skills before entering the Army Academy, such as Xue Rengui's Fangtian Painting Ji, Yuwen Guo's Phoenix Wings and Gold Twist Tear, and Meng Zhao's bare-hand fighting skills. So, Li Ke said this, the purpose was to let Wang Zhongchang give more time to make them proficient in their martial arts.
"I understand the humble profession!" Wang Zhongchang responded.
At this time, Zhu Tong stepped into the study. When Li Ke saw Zhu Tong coming in, he asked before Zhu Tong bowed, "Is there any new information coming from Chang'an?"
"Your Highness, there are no more clues about Murong Shun's specific situation, but the information from Mr. Yang said that the emperor had agreed to the marriage with Fang Xiang and wanted to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai!" Zhu Tong said carefully.
After Zhu Tong finished speaking, he looked at Li Ke carefully. As Li Ke’s confidant, everyone knew that Li Ke’s love for his younger brother and sister, and he had not received any news about Princess Gaoyang’s marriage. It would be strange if he was not angry!
However, Li Ke was not angry, he just nodded and said, "No wonder Murong Shun came to Taiyuan to find trouble for the Army Academy. He has other plans!"
Then, he said to Wang Zhongchang with a sharp look, "In the past two days, you will have to conduct closed training for Fang Yiai, and this matter must be kept confidential and not let others know!"
"I understand the humble profession!" Wang Zhongchang responded.
At this time, Li Ke showed anger on his face, "What's going on in the Eagle Guard's intelligence? Such news cannot be transmitted to Taiyuan in time. Zhu Tong, tell me, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, please punish your humble position. This is a humble position and a dereliction of duty!" Zhu Tong was tough. He did not defend himself and took the initiative to take the responsibility.
In fact, Li Ke also knew very well that when he returned to Taiyuan this time, he withdrew most of the Chang'an intelligence department to Taiyuan. Therefore, it was understandable that the news of Chang'an City could not be transmitted to Taiyuan in time, but he was still so angry. His purpose was to see Zhu Tong's reaction. He did not expect Zhu Tong to take the initiative to take responsibility, which made him very satisfied with Zhu Tong's performance.
By the way, in Li Ke's eyes, failure is not shameful, and failure can start over. What is shameful is that you have to quibble and shirke responsibility when you know your shortcomings. This is not what a real man does, but a coward's behavior.
Li Ke understood the purpose of Murong Shun's move and felt much more relaxed.
He asked Zhu Tong and Wang Zhongchang to leave!
However, Zhu Tong left the study room and soon arrived at the study room, his face looked very frightened.
"Your Highness—" he said breathlessly, which shows that he was jogging along the way. "The news came from Chang'an that Prince Li Chengqian was on a trip the day before yesterday and accidentally fell off the horse's back. After the imperial doctor diagnosed that his thigh broke and might become a cripple!"
"What?" Li Ke was shocked and stood up from the chair, staring at Zhu Tong with a sharp look, "The news is reliable? Did Mr. Yang come through?"
Damn!
This news is undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, which made Li Ke not wake up from his shock for a long time!
According to historical records, Li Chengqian had foot disease. Li Chengqian, who Li Ke saw when he was in Chang'an, had foot disease and was very strong. He felt that historical records might be a slander of him, but he did not expect that Li Chengqian now has foot disease, but his retreat was broken!
How could Li Ke not be surprised?
If Li Chengqian's historical records match historical materials! Then doesn't that mean that since Li Chengqian developed foot disease, his heart began to be distorted. He saw that Li Tai was favored by Li Shimin, so he launched a treason? If this is true, then the relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Tai will inevitably deteriorate again after this incident. Wouldn't this increase the time for Li Chengqian to rebel?
Thinking of this, Li Ke began to relieve his emotions.
"What else is there in the information?" Li Ke continued to ask. Because Yang En's intelligence was transmitted in numbers and needed to be decoded and translated into Chinese characters, Li Ke asked about the contents of the information without looking directly. He asked this just to know whether Li Chengqian's experience was an accident? Or he thought it was a factor! He felt that even if Li Chengqian was incompetent, he had good riding and shooting skills, and he had the protection of Liu Liusu of the East Palace around him. He wanted to fall off from his horse and broke his leg. The chance of this was very small!
"The information also said that the emperor was very angry and ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter! And the queen fainted when she heard the prince fall off the horse!" Zhu Tong said cautiously.
"there is none left?"
"No more! That's all the information that Mr. Yang has sent!" Zhu Tong replied.
"You go down! Pay close attention to Murong Shun's movements, send a message to Chang'an, and let them pay close attention to the prince's horse fall from the horse!" Li Ke ordered.
"No" Zhu Tong took the order and left!
Li Ke stayed quietly in the study, and he realized a terrible problem in his heart, that is, the peaceful days are about to end!
Queen Changsun has been in poor health since she was poisoned and gave birth to Li Zhi. Now she heard that Li Chengqian fell off a horse and was injured and might become a cripple in the future. She probably couldn't bear the blow and fainted. If this situation was done, her body might not last for a few years, and it might be the last two years!
If Li Chengqian becomes lame, his character will definitely change drastically. In addition, Li Tai continues to gain Li Shimin's trust, and his heart will definitely be hit hard. As long as someone instigates him to rebel, as long as he gets the chance, he may not do this. As long as Li Chengqian does this, Li Tai will fight back!
Then...
When Li Ke thought about this, he no longer had to think about the following questions!
"It seems that I need to start preparing too!" Li Ke said to himself.
Chapter completed!
