Chapter 647
Although the dead soldiers arranged by Lao Batel were all trained through rigorous training, Baiqi was also an elite among the elite, and they were very familiar with Chang'an, so those dead soldiers could not escape their monitoring.
But Baiqi didn't act rashly, but reported it.
Li Junxian did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to Li Shimin.
"Send someone to kill a few, and leave one for them to go back." Li Shimin ordered.
It is easy to guess the purpose of Lao Batel sending people back, it is nothing more than to tell Nishu that Datang will not send troops for the time being, so that Nishu can do it as soon as possible.
And this is what Li Shimin hoped to see. Both Western Turks and Xue Yantuo thought that Datang was unwilling to unify the grasslands, but they didn't expect that Datang's goal was their two countries.
Wrong guesses, the information obtained will naturally be inaccurate.
The reason why Li Shimin ordered to kill some of them was because he didn't want Nishu to get information too easily.
Many things have anticipated the difficulty in advance, if it is too easy, you will be suspicious.
Once mud cooked doubts, it will affect his decision.
The purpose of Li Shimin's doing this is to dispel Nishu's suspicion.
"Yes, I will go down and make arrangements." Li Junxian saluted and was about to retreat.
"Wait." Li Shimin stopped Li Junxian, and asked softly, "Hasn't anyone taken the letter from Hou De?"
A look of unnaturalness flashed across Li Junxian's face, and he said: "Return to Your Majesty, the letter has been taken away, but the person who took the letter has not been in contact with other people, and it is not yet known who this letter is for. "
"What is the identity of the person who is going to get the letter?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Junxian's unnaturalness just now did not hide it from him.
He believed that if the person behind the scenes was found out, Li Junxian would not dare to hide it.
In this case, the problem lies in the identity of the person who took the letter, or the identity of the person who took the letter has already made Li Junxian guess.
If it was just a guess, Li Junxian would report it first.
There was no report this time, obviously the identity of the person he suspected made him scrupled.
It's not appropriate to say scruples, it should be said that the identity of that person made Li Junxian dare not report it without conclusive evidence.
"Return to Your Majesty, that person is just an ordinary citizen, but his own elder brother is now serving as a servant of the King of Wei." Li Junxian did not dare to hide anything, and told what he knew.
Knowing that someone had taken the letter away, it was natural to investigate the identity of the person who took the letter to see if anything could be found.
Needless to say Baiqi's ability, it may be exaggerated to say that the eighteen generations of ancestors have been found out, but it can still be found out within a few generations.
It didn't take long for the investigation to find out the identity of the person who took the letter.
Li Junxian was horrified after watching it.
Although there is no clear evidence, that person has not been in contact with other people recently, and his elder brother is the eunuch serving Li Tai, so Li Tai has great suspicion.
What good can a prince and a general get in touch with in this way?
Li Junxian mastered the Baiqi on the surface, and was responsible for protecting Li Shimin, and also knew some secret things.
But these secrets are not absolute secrets, and Li Junxian is not worried about being silenced.
He had always hoped that Li Shimin would let him out, because he knew very well that the more he knew about the secret, it might be his death talisman.
Don't you see, in history, how many people in charge of intelligence ended well?
Those who can be in charge of intelligence must be confidantes, even so, none of them will end well, without him, they just know too much.
The concealment he knew before was nothing, but now this news made it impossible for him to reveal it.
However, he still had some illusions, and with Li Tai's identity, he didn't report it to Li Shimin before there was any solid evidence.
Otherwise, if he makes a mistake when the time comes, can Li Shimin let him go?
Li Shimin's face was gloomy and terrifying. Although Li Junxian said that there was no definite evidence, he was almost sure that the recipient of the letter was Li Tai.
Hou Junji's cautiousness is enough to show that the identity of the person he contacts is extraordinary, and Li Tai's identity just fits.
The coincidence of Li Tai's illness last time made Li Shimin suspicious.
But Li Tai was so seriously ill that he almost died, which dispelled his doubts.
When he and Li Jiancheng were fighting fiercely, Li Jiancheng once hosted him in the East Palace. In order to blackmail Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin pretended to be poisoned after returning to the palace in order to blackmail Li Jiancheng.
At that time, in order to make people believe, Li Shimin specially asked people to find some poison.
These poisons can be severe or mild, and if they are not treated in time, they may cause death.
Li Shimin understood that the stronger the effect of the medicine, the more convincing it was, but in the end Li Shimin chose a medicine with a moderate effect and took some.
Even so, Li Shimin took very small doses.
The final result was that Li Yuan just sent someone to investigate the matter, but did not get to the bottom of it.
Li Yuan knew very well that no matter how stupid Li Jiancheng was, he would not poison Li Shimin at the banquet in the East Palace. Once Li Shimin died, any fool would know that he did it.
That being the case, why didn't Li Jiancheng directly send people to surround and kill Li Shimin after he entered the East Palace?
Another reason is the result of the imperial physician's diagnosis, Li Shimin's toxicity is not particularly strong, and the poisoning is not deep.
If it was really Li Jiancheng who poisoned him, he would definitely use that top-level poison, and he would give enough doses to kill him in one blow.
Li Yuan didn't need to think too much, he knew that this was a play directed and acted by Li Shimin himself.
Afterwards, Li Shimin also knew that he hadn't thought carefully at that time.
But he didn't regret it. Who could guarantee that he would be healed in time after taking those powerful poisons?
In case Li Jiancheng delayed the imperial doctor's arrival, his death would be the biggest joke.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Li Shimin felt that even if Li Tai deliberately pretended to be sick, he would not be able to risk his life.
Li Shimin was right in thinking, the more ambitious people are, the more they cherish their lives. If Li Tai knew that pretending to be sick almost cost him his life, he wouldn't do it either.
All I can say is that it was a coincidence.
Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and said: "Whoever got the letter in the end must investigate clearly. In addition, this matter must be kept secret. I don't want to hear any rumors from outside."
In the eyes of a father, his children are the best, even if he hears some bad remarks, he will not fully believe them.
Li Shimin also had this kind of mentality now, although reason told him that the person Hou Junji contacted was probably Li Tai, but there was still a little luck in his heart.
He thought of those words Li Yuan said back then, and instantly aged a little.
Could it be that what happened back then will happen to him again?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face flashed a trace of ferocity, he would never allow the things of that year to happen to him again.
"Yes."
Li Junxian's face was ashen. Since Li Shimin said this, he obviously didn't want this matter to be exposed.
Although he didn't know how things would develop later, he understood that as long as Li Shimin wanted to save Li Tai's life, he would not allow this matter to be exposed.
And as an insider, he will definitely not end well.
But he was powerless to resist, what he mastered was only the Baiqi on the surface, and even he only knew a little about the Baiqi who were hidden in the dark. Who knew how many Baiqi were watching him?
