Too liquid pool.

Taiye Pond, also known as Penglai Pond, is the most important royal pond garden in Li Tang, located in the north of Daming Palace.

Daming Palace has a front palace and a back harem, and the harem is centered on the Taiye Pool. There are two pools in the east and west, the depth of the pond is more than zhang, and there are 400 corridors, pavilions and courtyards along the bank of the pond. In the Taiye Pool, there are more Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou three islands.

Penglai Pond is sparkling, and the lotus fragrance is ten miles.

It is deeply loved by the emperors and concubines of all dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, and is a leisure place for the emperor's concubines.

There are many pavilions and palaces built around the Taiye Pond, and there is a cool hall on the south bank, which was once the dormitory where Gaozong and Empress Wu lived, and it was also the summer place of the emperor's concubines. There is a self-rain pavilion on the north bank, which is also the place where the emperor enjoys the coolness. There is Qingsi Temple on the southeast bank, and there is a gorgeous hall in the courtyard, that is, Qingsi Palace, which is the dormitory built when Jingzong was respected, and Dezong once lived here. To the south of the Qingsi Palace, there are also halls such as Ayaqi, Bathhouse, and Xuanhui. On the south bank of the Taiye Pond, there are halls such as Penglai, Huanzhou, and Jinluan.

The Qingsi Hall assassination incident that had just occurred that shocked Daming Palace was in the Qingsi Hall on the southeast bank of the Taiye Pool.

At present, the entire palace city has been closed, and even the imperial city and the outer city of Chang'an have been under martial law.

The Shence Army and Jin Wuwei came out in all directions and were strictly vigilant.

The Daming Palace is even more closed, and guards can be seen everywhere.

There were even rumors in the palace that the emperor had been assassinated, and people were panicked for a while.

However, at this time, the Son of Heaven Li Yi. And not dead.

In the Hall of Reflection. Gongsun Lan shot Li Yi in the chest with an arrow. Although the Son of Heaven fainted on the spot, he lost a lot of blood. But fortunately, after the imperial doctor arrived, he found that the arrow was shot above his heart, fortunately, he did not hurt his internal organs, but he lost too much blood, and after stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound, the emperor had already woken up.

The creation of Li Yi's body is not heavy. What hurt him the most was his spiritual creation.

In the Daming Palace of Chang'an City, he actually encountered hundreds of assassins who assassinated him, and the ghost gate was closed, and he almost lost his life. This made the young Son of Heaven frightened, and then thundered and furious. Having been assassinated in his own palace, he didn't feel the slightest sense of security now.

After waking up, Li Yi immediately called Tian Lingzi, the lieutenant of the Left Shence Army, Xiliang Sigong, the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army, and the generals who were guarding the gate on the left and right to Penglai Island in the Taiye Pool. The Shence Army had already blocked the surroundings of the Taiye Pool, and the little emperor stayed on this island before he felt a little relieved.

Tian Lingzi's situation was worse than that of the emperor. He was struck three times, one in the hand, one in the shoulder, and one in the abdomen. A lot of blood was shed. But there were no fatal injuries, but the same horror and paleness. He had used assassination methods against people in the past, but when it actually happened to him, he immediately felt extremely frightened and angry.

The one who bears the greatest responsibility for this assassination incident is the left and right prison guards, who are actually the left and right gods.

The two chief officers of the prison guards, the general of the left prison guard are Tian Lingzi, and the general of the right prison guard Zhang Tai is not in the palace at this time, but is in Liaodong. In this way, the responsibility fell on Tian Lingzi's head at once, especially since he also served as a lieutenant in the Zuo Shence Army.

Under such circumstances, Tian Lingzi was both shocked and frightened, and his face was extremely devastated on the way to Penglai Island.

"Aiqing." Li Yi sat there with a pale face, his eyes wandering over Tian Lingzi's body.

Tian Lingzi stood there, and for the first time a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. After the emperor summoned him to see him, he changed his previous title to his father and changed it to Aiqing. And after he came in, he stood here all the time, and the emperor did not give him a seat at all. From these changes, Tian Lingzi knew very well how deep the emperor's blame for him was.

Standing here, looking at the aging emperor, Tian Lingzi suddenly woke up to the fact that this was no longer the son of heaven he was playing with. And he clearly understands that although he is the Duke of Jin, he is appointed as the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army, the general of the Zuo Prison Guards and other important positions, and there are prime ministers like Lu Xi and Dou Lu Peng in the DPRK and the central government to obey. But in the final analysis, his foundation and his credentials are still the Son of Heaven.

He didn't dare to imagine what would happen next if the Son of Heaven died in the palace today.

If the Son of Heaven dies, even if no one holds him accountable, but without the greatest support of the Son of Heaven, he will become a rootless tree.

He and the Son of Heaven are truly both prosperous and loss-making.

"Your Majesty, the old slave deserves to die, and if you don't protect Your Majesty, it's a capital crime." After Tian Lingzi figured everything out, he hurriedly knelt down to Li Yi and confessed his guilt in a low voice.

Seeing Tian Lingzi kneeling in front of him with tears in his eyes and a frightened look, Li Yi's anger towards Tian Lingzi also decreased. In the Qingsi Palace, Tian Lingzi can be regarded as a loyal protector, and he was also hit by three arrows. was able to kill the assassins, and it was all thanks to the soldiers of the Zuo Shence Army.

Thinking of this, Li Yi took a deep breath, "Father is also injured, and he will calm down first and give him a seat." ”

"Father, can you take down all the rebels who entered the palace and assassinated?"

"Under His Majesty's Majesty, the soldiers of the Zuo Shence Army killed thirty-seven people on the spot in the palace, and another forty-three people were arrested and captured, in addition to a small number of people who escaped from the palace, and the Shence Army and Jin Wuwei were searching."

Hearing that forty-three were captured alive, Li Yi couldn't help but lift his spirits. "Can you find out their identities and find out who is behind the scenes?"

"Your Majesty, this must have been done by someone sent by Li Jing?" Although Tian Lingzi had not yet received the results of the interrogation, he had already firmly determined that these people must be assassins sent by Li Jing. As soon as the imperial court was about to remove Li Jing's military power and split the Zhenguo army, an assassin entered the palace to assassinate him, and in his mind, there could never be a second person besides Li Jing.

When Li Yi heard the name Li Jing, his heart was also yin, although there was no evidence, but he also felt that what Tian Lingzi said made some sense.

"Speed up the interrogation, I want ironclad evidence." When he said this, the Son of Heaven was already a little angry.

Originally, he still trusted Li Jing very much, and he cut the feudal domain, but he also had the intention of caring for Li Jing to avoid the jealousy of monarchs and ministers. But now that there is such a thing as an assassination, and it is at this juncture that he can't help but doubt Li Jing's loyalty.

But in his heart, he still hoped that this matter had nothing to do with Li Jing. Therefore. He was desperate to know the outcome of his interrogation.

There was a sound of footsteps. The chamberlain reported outside: "Report to Your Majesty, the left army patrol envoy Wang Chucun asked to see him." ”

Hearing this name, Li Yi's face looked slightly good. At the time of today's assassination, Wang Chucun was the first to arrive, and he fought a bloody battle with the assassin, and finally killed the assassin and saved his life.

However, he only knew that the king of Lu Dao was the patrol envoy of the left army, but he did not know his specific identity. Turning his head to Tian Lingzi, he asked, "Does General Wang know the specific situation?" ”

Wang Chucun is the general of the Zuo Shence Forbidden Army under Tian Lingzi, and he naturally knows the specific situation of Lu Dao's subordinates.

Speaking of Wang Chucun, Tian Lingzi knows it very well. Gai because Wang Chucun is not only a general under him, but also one of the richest people in Chang'an.

Wang Chucun's ancestors have always been famous and wealthy in Chang'an, with tens of millions of assets. His father, Wang Zong, was given an official by the Son of Heaven because he was extremely wealthy and made many friends with powerful and powerful people, and made many offerings to the Son of Heaven. He successively served as the inspector of the school, the general of Jinwu, the envoy of Zuojie, and the envoy of the Shannan West Road. Wang Chucun was born in such a wealthy family, and he served jade food when he was a teenager. There are thousands of slaves, relying on their father's status. He was promoted to the commander of the Right Army, and later to the rank of General of the Guard, and the Patrol Envoy of the Left Army.

The Wang family was extremely wealthy in Chang'an and was very good at management. At the beginning, Tian Lingzi promoted Wang Chucun to the Zuo Shence army, which was to take a fancy to his family wealth. After the king deposited in the Shence army, he provided Tian Lingzi with a large amount of money.

Therefore, when the emperor asked, Tian Lingzi said a lot of good things.

Hearing Tian Lingzi's evaluation, Li Yi had a good impression of Wang Chucun.

However, as soon as the king entered the palace, he reported a shocking news.

First of all, of the forty-three assassinations of the captives, twenty-six were poorly guarded and committed suicide by them in the first place. The forbidden army, which was still in good custody, found out in time and hurriedly controlled it, and only after the last day did they save seventeen killers.

"The assassins all sewed a poison on their collars, and after being captured, they bit through the poison, according to the imperial doctor, it was a thousand opportunities, highly poisonous, and those who took it were killed immediately."

Hearing this news, Li Yi and Tian Lingzi's expressions became gloomy.

"Actually, what about people, can you find out their identities and the masterminds behind the scenes?" Li Yi asked.

Wang Chucun bowed his head and replied: "The preliminary interrogation found that these people are not from Chang'an and Guanzhong. ”

"Let me guess, they must all be from Liaodong or Ziqing?" Tian Lingzi sneered.

Wang Chucun shook his head, "No, they are all from Hebei. ”

"Hebei people?" This result made Li Yi and Tian Lingzi both startled, and their brows furrowed deeply.

Wang Chucun continued: "It is true that they are all from Hebei, and we have ascertained the identities of several of them, and they are wanted murderers by the Criminal Department. ”

"Hebei people, Hebei people, Hebei people!" Li Yi's emotions were complicated at this time, and he didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or anger.

After a long time, a group of Hebei people actually ran out, did he blame Li Jing? Do these killers really have nothing to do with Li Jing?

"Your Majesty, this must be a move to plant dirty and blame the trouble, and it must have been done by Li Jing." After Tian Lingzi was shocked, he immediately shouted.

Wang Chucun looked at the shocked emperor and Tian Lingzi, and slowly said an even more shocking result: "We interrogated the killers separately and strictly for the seventeen killers, and finally there was a result, and someone confessed their identities. also said the commander behind the scenes, according to their confessions, the mastermind behind the scenes this assassination was Wei Bojiedu envoy Han Jian, Chengde Junjiedu envoy Wang Jingchong, and Lu Longjun Jiedu Liu Yue three people planned and directed. ”

"This can't be?" Tian Lingzi didn't believe this result at all.

Wang Chucun smiled bitterly, "At first, we didn't believe it, but we compared the confessions of these assassins, and they all matched. And according to the confessions of several of the Assassins, we have sent people to investigate several of the Assassins' bases in Chang'an. If what they tell is true, then we can get more evidence and catch other fish that have slipped through the net, and then we will be able to find out. ”

"Wei Bo, Chengde, Lu Long!" Li Yi whispered the names of the three towns in Hebei, but his eyes were full of murderous intent!

The puppet was furious, and the corpses were ambushed, and blood was splashed five steps.

The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled and drifted! (To be continued......)
