Chapter 38 The Art of Winning by Disgusting (2)

"I will take care of this matter myself, so don't worry about it! And don't make it public. If anyone dares to frame you, I will never let him go." Li Er said a few words of comfort.

The best way now is not to make it public. Li Er will send people to secretly investigate these things to see if it is really as Li Chengqian said, that Liu Li wants to slander him.

"Yes! I will take my leave!" Li Chengqian stood up, bowed and left.

His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to stay here. There were still many things waiting for him, the prince, to deal with in the East Palace.

Not long after Li Chengqian left, someone came to report that Liu Li wanted to see him for something.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Attendant, the Silver-Green-Glorious Doctor, and the Supreme Guard Liu Li is outside the palace asking for an audience."

Li Er was shocked! He was worried that Liu Li's coming at this time was related to what the prince had just said?

If it was really as the prince said, what should he do? After all, Comrade Li had no evidence to prove that Liu Li wanted to frame the prince.

What good would it do to Liu Li? This is the key.

"Besides Liu Li, are there any other people?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty! There is only the Supreme Guard!" said the eunuch.

"Call him in!" Li Er said, he wanted to see if Liu Li came to report that the prince Li Chengqian cursed him with the art of hatred.

If this is the case, he will definitely not let Liu Li off easily, and he has no choice but to use Liu Li's head as a warning to those scoundrels who are plotting evil.

"Yes!" The eunuch withdrew and led Liu Li into the Liangyi Hall.

"Old minister Liu Li, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Liu Li saluted to Li Er.

"No need to be polite! Liu Qing came to see me, but do you have something important to report?" Li Er said.

"Your Majesty! I just received a secret report that the prince is in Yongjiafang, Chang'an City, practicing the art of hatred, trying to curse your majesty to return to heaven."

"This matter is very serious! I have come to report to your majesty! I have found a puppet in Yongjiafang, Chang'an."

"Your Majesty's name and birth date are written on the puppet, and there is a small rope around the puppet's neck, which is full of needles." Liu Li said.

After hearing this, Li Er's face changed drastically on the spot. The prince had just left, and Liu Li came to accuse the prince of using the art of hatred to curse him.

If the prince had not told him about this in advance, he would have believed Liu Li's words. Liu Li really had a heart that deserved death.

Seeing that Li Er had a hint of anger on his face, Liu Li was overjoyed! He thought that his denunciation had worked and that His Majesty was going to punish the crown prince.

He never expected that things were not what he thought.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian had already given His Majesty Li Er a shot of prevention long before Liu Li entered the palace to denounce him.

Otherwise, Li Er would have been furious when he heard Liu Li's denunciation, and he would not be as calm as he is now.

This is also what Liu Li is puzzled about. You must know that the most taboo thing in all dynasties is the witchcraft. Once any emperor hears that someone dares to use such evil magic and curses, the consequences can be imagined.

The witchcraft disaster in the late years of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty is the best example.

"This is the puppet that curses your majesty. Please take a look at it." Liu Li was afraid that Li Er would not believe it, so he took out the puppet that he had prepared long ago.

Wang Yuan stepped forward and took the puppet. He saw that the shape of the puppet was actually somewhat similar to Li Er.

Li Er took the puppet from Wang Yuan and looked at it carefully. There was a piece of yellow paper on the back of the puppet, on which his name and birth date were written.

A short rope was tied into a knot at the neck. There were needle marks on the head, hands, feet, stomach, and chest of the puppet.

"Who else knows about this besides you?" Li Er asked.

"Besides me, several colleagues also saw it with their own eyes. They found the puppet with me in Yongjiafang." Liu Li said.

This was telling Li Er that he not only had physical evidence, but also witnesses to prove that what he said was true.

"Don't make this matter public, so as not to cause unrest in the court and the public. I will let Changsun Wuji and others investigate this matter. You leave first." Li Er said.

In his position, he could not just listen to anyone's words and make a hasty conclusion.

He judged another person without checking. After all, he was the emperor of this empire.

Whether it was the prince or Liu Li, Li Er kept a little doubt, because he didn't know who was lying between the two of them.

Whether it was the prince or Liu Li, for him as an emperor, no matter who did such a thing, it was a betrayal and a disloyalty.

"I obey your command!" Liu Li did not say a word more, and bowed decisively and retreated. He just saw Li Er's face change.

Liu Li knew in his heart that if he continued to talk, he would only ask for trouble, and it might even arouse Li Er's suspicion.

What do you want to do, Liu Li, by being so eager to convict the prince? Do you want to achieve your ulterior motives by framing the Eastern Palace?

After Liu Li left, he did not follow Li Er's instructions and did not mention anything about the art of nagging victory.

Instead, he tried every means to expand this matter and let more people know the dirty deeds of the Eastern Palace prince.

Liu Li and his men wanted to use this method to completely wipe out the power of the Eastern Palace.

Their ultimate goal was to kill the prince and strive for an overwhelming victory for their camp. How could they stop here? After

Liu Li left, Comrade Lao Li immediately summoned more than ten ministers including Changsun Wuji, Yang Shidao, Chu Suiliang, and Sun Fujia to the palace to discuss matters related to the art of nagging victory.

Finally, Li Er handed the matter over to Changsun Wuji and his men to investigate, and Changsun Wuji and his men immediately took action.

The people were divided into two groups. One group went to interrogate the witnesses and question the prince, and the other group went to investigate the crime scene, perhaps they could find some clues.

On the other hand, Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, was not idle either. Li Tai and others secretly mobilized the censors to impeach the prince's misconduct, intending to take the opportunity to expand the matter and then guide public opinion to the side that is unfavorable to the prince.

As a result, many memorials impeaching the prince for his nasty tactics were submitted to the case of His Majesty Li II like snowflakes.

These memorials were all withheld by His Majesty Li II and kept in his palace without being issued. Before the case was clear, it was useless to say anything.

Li Er also attached great importance to this case. During the process of Zhangsun Wuji and others investigating the case, Li Er sent people to inquire about the progress of the case many times.

Zhangsun Wuji and others were under great pressure, but they had no choice. After all, this case of nausea was not so easy to investigate and it took time.

Of course, these are all later stories. At this time, Li Chengqian had just returned to the East Palace, Liu Li had just left, and the ministers summoned by Li Er were still on their way.
