Chapter 47 Trial of the King of Wei

"Order Li Anyan, the General of the Left Guard, to immediately surround the Prince of Wei's mansion and search whether there are any armors hidden in the mansion." Li Er ordered Li Anyan to search the Prince of Wei's mansion .

"Yes!" The eunuch took the order and left.

The Left Guard army marched in neat and uniform steps towards Yankangfang, and the crowds along the way retreated to the sides.

"Surround it for me!" Li Anyan stood outside the gate of the Prince of Wei's mansion and waved his hand.

The Left Guard army quickly surrounded the Prince of Wei's mansion, and Li Anyan stepped forward.

"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you surround the Prince of Wei's mansion? Are you tired of living? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you and ask for your heads?" The guards of the Prince of Wei's mansion pointed at Li Anyan and shouted loudly.

His Majesty Li II doted on Li Tai. Because of the King of Wei, these guards were arrogant and domineering, so they naturally didn't take Li Anyan seriously.

"The King of Wei secretly hid armor. Li Anyan, the General of the Left Guard, was ordered by His Majesty to search the King of Wei's mansion. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!" Li Anyan shouted, and the soldiers of the Left Guard immediately rushed into the King of Wei's mansion and controlled everyone in the mansion.

Li Tai, who was studying in the study, heard the noise outside! He frowned and stood up to see what happened outside.

"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!" An eunuch ran in in a panic.

"Why are you panicking? What's wrong? What happened?" Li Tai's fat face showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness! The Left, Left, Left Guards have surrounded the palace, saying that Your Highness has secretly stored armor and intends to rebel, and they are now searching the palace." The eunuch said.

"What?" Li Tai was panicked!

"Your Highness, Prince Wei!" Li Anyan appeared in front of Li Tai, and the Left Guards rushed out from behind him.

"Li Anyan, you are so brave, who told you to lead troops to secretly break into the palace of my prince." Li Tai scolded Li Anyan.

"In accordance with the order of His Majesty! Please enter the palace, Your Highness!" Li Anyan stepped aside to make way.

"Humph!" Li Tai heard that it was his father who asked Li Anyan to do this, snorted coldly, walked over, and was escorted into the palace by the Left Guards.

"Report to the Lieutenant General! Eight hundred sets of armor and hundreds of various weapons were found in the Prince of Wei's mansion." The soldiers of the Left Guard came to report.

"Seal all the armor immediately, I will report to your majesty!" Li Anyan said. After leaving the Prince of Wei's mansion, he immediately sent his confidant to report to the East Palace. After

receiving Li Anyan's report, Emperor Li II was very angry. He did not expect that his beloved son would eventually follow his old path.

Compared with the anger in his heart, he was more disappointed. Li Tai's actions broke his heart. On weekdays, he could tolerate his beloved son's nonsense.

He did not understand why Li Tai took the path of rebellion, which made him very sad.

Emperor Li II immediately imprisoned Li Tai in another room and asked Zhangsun Wuji and others to try the case of Prince of Wei's rebellion.

Zhangsun Wuji immediately launched an investigation and interrogation of Wei Wang Li Tai.

"Qingque, how can you be so confused? Don't you know that hiding armor is a capital crime of treason?" Zhangsun Wuji said angrily.

Although he didn't like this nephew who became arrogant and domineering because of his father's excessive pampering, no matter what, he was still his nephew, Zhangsun Wuji, and naturally didn't want to see him go down a road of no return.

"Uncle, Qingque is innocent, I didn't rebel, you must believe me." Li Tai said in horror.

He is still confused until now. He was studying at home, how could such a disaster happen inexplicably, and he actually became a traitor and a thief.

Li Tai really felt that he was wronged! But who knows how hard he is going now? He is really speechless.

"Then how do you explain that 800 sets of armor and many weapons, including many crossbows, were found in your palace. Don't you understand what this means?" Changsun Wuji said loudly.

"I... I don't know, I really don't know. Maybe someone is framing me. Yes, it must be Chengqian who is framing me." Li Tai didn't know what to do. He could only force himself to say that he didn't know. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He thought that Li Chengqian was framing him.

Changsun Wuji frowned. What Li Tai said was not unreasonable. If it really wasn't Li Tai who did it, then maybe it was Li Chengqian who was framing Li Tai.

However, Li Chengqian failed to assassinate Li Tai at first, so how could he hide the armor and weapons in the Prince of Wei's mansion in broad daylight without anyone noticing?

If he really had the ability to control the people in the Prince of Wei's mansion, why didn't he assassinate Li Tai directly, but chose to frame him for treason?

"You really don't know?" Changsun Wuji confirmed again.

"Uncle, you must believe me, I would never dare to do this!" Li Tai begged.

Changsun Wuji said nothing and stood up to leave. He didn't quite believe what Li Tai said. He had a rough idea of ​​how far the two brothers had fought.

If Li Tai said that he didn't have this idea in his mind, Changsun Wuji would never believe it. If a person is really pushed to the limit, there is nothing he can't do.

"How is the interrogation going?" Changsun Wuji asked impatiently as soon as he met Yang Shidao and others.

"The people in the Prince of Wei's Palace said that the Prince of Wei had signed a document, saying that he wanted to bring a batch of things into the palace, but he didn't know what it was." Chu Suiliang said, and Sun Fujia beside him also nodded in agreement. It was the two of them who interrogated the other people in the Prince of Wei's Palace.

"Apart from these, there is nothing else? Whose hands did the Prince of Wei's document pass through?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"This person should have stolen the property of the Prince of Wei's Palace, and was discovered and reported to the Prince of Wei, and was finally beaten to death by the Prince of Wei." Sun Fujia said.

Changsun Wuji frowned. In this way, he could not determine whether it was Li Tai's own intention or the man he killed was confusing and framing Li Tai.

"What about the people in the Prince's Personal Affairs House and the Prince's Internal Affairs House? They should know something, right?" Changsun Wuji looked at Yang Shidao, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao Yu and asked.

The three looked at each other, and finally Fang Xuanling said: "It can be confirmed that the people in the Personal Affairs House had no idea at all. It was the people in the Internal Affairs House who moved the hidden armor and weapons."

"And they also knew that they were asked to move all armor and weapons."

Changsun Wuji sighed. Doesn't this prove that Li Tai is inseparable from this matter? Otherwise, how would his personal soldiers in the Internal Affairs House know what is inside?

"The military commander of the inner court also said that the King of Wei had discussed the matter of rebellion with Liu Li, but they felt that it had not yet reached that stage."

"Liu Li also asked the King of Wei to make preparations in advance in case of emergency. Perhaps the King of Wei felt that now was the time, so he took the risk." Xiao Yu said.

Perhaps, only this explanation can explain why the King of Wei secretly hid armor and weapons. He felt that the time for rebellion was ripe.
