Chapter 109: Rumors Spread (2)
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.
Although there is still no progress on the rumor, it is finally under control and has not spread.
This makes Li Er very satisfied. As long as the situation can be controlled, he believes that in time, the truth will come out. However
, Li Er did not expect that Li Chengqian, the instigator, would not let him have his way. As long as Wu Zetian is not exterminated,
Li Chengqian will not be at peace, and the rumor about Li Zhi and Wu Zetian's collusion will be spread forever.
As the situation was under control, Li Er's mood also improved a lot.
"Everyone! The prince sent a letter saying that the situation is urgent. Please check it immediately after you see it." Wang Yuan held a letter in his hand and said to Li Er.
Li Er frowned. What happened recently? Accidents happened one after another. Not long ago, the prince was assassinated. Not long after this incident, the scandal of his beloved son and his concubines came out.
Now the prince wrote again saying that the situation is urgent. The matter here has not been dealt with clearly, and Chang'an has done something wrong again.
Li Er reached out to take the letter from Wang Yuan and couldn't wait to open it. He wanted to see what was written inside.
If Chang'an had any situation again, he felt that he could not bear it.
After reading Li Chengqian's letter, Li Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened.
The content of Li Chengqian's letter told Li Er that he already knew about the rumors about Li Zhi and Wu Zetian having an affair, and there were also such rumors in Chang'an.
He found out in time and completely controlled it. Before it could spread, he strangled it in the cradle. He hoped that Li Er would not worry too much. Then
the letter said that he was very worried about his brother Li Zhi's current situation. After knowing the rumors, did he collapse?
He was far away in Chang'an, but he was still very worried about Li Zhi! He sighed every day looking in the direction of Luoyang.
He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Luoyang to comfort Li Zhi's wounded heart. He also said that he would find out the murderer behind the scenes, bring him to justice, and give Li Zhi justice.
Li Chengqian wrote the whole letter with tens of thousands of words, and the content of his heart revealed the love of an elder brother for his younger brother.
This made Li Er very happy. He gave all his love to the three sons born to the eldest grandson queen.
Li Er hoped that the three brothers could be brothers and take care of each other for the rest of their lives.
But Li Tai disappointed him very much. For the position of the crown prince, he was willing to murder his brother at all costs, and even hid a large amount of armor in the Prince of Wei's mansion in an attempt to rebel.
This is the eternal pain in Li Er's heart. It was because he failed to educate his son well that his son Qingque went down a path of no return.
But now, the love and care that Crown Prince Li Chengqian has for his younger brother Li Zhi can be felt through the paper in his hand.
How could Li Er not feel gratified? Isn't this the result he has always expected and wanted!
That's right! Li Chengqian was playing the emotional card again. He caught this point in Li Er's heart and wrote this letter to Li Er.
Li Er reached out to wipe his wet eyes, put down the letter in his hand, sighed, and felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Everyone! What did the young master say in the letter? But something happened in Chang'an?" Wang Yuan asked.
"Everything is fine in Chang'an, nothing has happened, but Cheng Qian also knows about the matter between Zhinu and Wu Mei, so he specially wrote this letter, hoping to come to Luoyang to visit me and Zhinu." Li Er said.
"Your Majesty! How did the prince know about this?" Chu Suiliang asked on the side.
He was really curious, how did the prince in Chang'an know about the situation in Luoyang, which had been sealed off for a long time.
Changsun Wuji, who was opposite Chu Suiliang, frowned and his eyes were erratic, as if he was thinking about something?
"How else can we know? Rumors like this have also appeared in Chang'an and surrounding counties. Fortunately, Cheng Qian discovered it in advance, so the rumor did not spread."
"Otherwise, what do you think happened? Are you suspecting that Cheng Qian spread the rumor?"
"Wu Ji, do you think so too?" Li Er said, looking at Changsun Wu Ji, and asked when he saw his eyes wandering.
As the initiator behind the rumor, Li Cheng Qian would naturally not spread it only in Chang'an and Luoyang.
This would easily attract the attention of others, and they would suspect him, and then he would be in trouble in the future.
"How could that be? Chengqian is my nephew. I have watched him grow up. I know what kind of kid Chengqian is. He would never do such a thing." Changsun Wuji said.
Just now, he did have a momentary suspicion that Li Chengqian was behind the whole thing, but then he thought about it again and realized that there were many doubts.
"Then what were you thinking about just now? I see you are so absorbed in your thoughts?" Li Er asked.
"Just now, I thought again, I didn't expect that this rumor has spread to this extent, even Chang'an has been affected! If this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the world will know about it after a long time." Changsun Wuji said.
Zhangsun Wuji's words were undoubtedly like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Er's heart hard. Li Er was also worried that this would spread to the point where everyone in the world knew about it.
"Your Majesty! Since Chang'an has been affected, why haven't the surrounding counties submitted relevant reports?" Chu Suiliang said.
Li Er originally wanted to ask Zhangsun Wuji if he had any good ideas for the rumors, but he suddenly heard Chu Suiliang's words and felt a little unhappy.
He was unhappy because the local officials were not doing their job well. Even though news came from Chang'an, the counties did not submit relevant reports, instead of suspecting his prince.
"Report to everyone, the counties around Luoyang have submitted reports." An eunuch ran in hurriedly and handed over a dozen memorials about the spread of rumors.
Chu Suiliang had just finished speaking when the eunuch brought the memorial to Li Er, which undoubtedly gave Chu Suiliang a slap in the face.
"Show it!" Li Er said hurriedly.
The eunuch hurriedly placed the memorial on Li Er's desk.
Li Er hurriedly picked up the memorial and read it. All the memorials reported to him about the rumors, but the situation was good and bad.
Li Er put down the last memorial, and another eunuch came running in and put another pile of memorials on Li Er's desk.
The content of the memorials was still about the rumors that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had an affair.
All of this was under the control of Li Chengqian, and everything was in the hands of our Crown Prince.
