I Didn't Want to Marry an Ancestor, So I Defied the Decree!
Eight years later.
June, night.
Chang 'an, the Great Tang Empire, the relay station.
The Turkic envoy team was currently residing here.
The moonlight was hazy. The full moon hung in the sky, emitting a silver glow.
The Turkic soldiers were patrolling the relay station when one of them said,"Have you heard? After the Third Prince returns to the Turks, he will most likely be crowned Crown Prince.”
"Really? Our Turkic Crown Prince's position has always been vacant, and the Great Khan has never decided which prince to make Crown Prince.”someone asked.
The Turkic guard lowered his voice and said,"You guys don't know about this, right? The Third Prince had come to the Great Tang on purpose to make things difficult for the Great Tang, and as long as the Great Tang lowered its head, the Third Prince would have rendered a great service once he returned to the Turks!”
"With such great merit, who can object to His Highness the Third Prince becoming the Crown Prince?”
The others were enlightened.
"No wonder His Highness the Left Prince also came with His Highness the Third Prince. It seems that he is trying to build up momentum for His Highness the Third Prince!”
"Why didn't you say so earlier? We should hurry up and curry favor with His Highness the Third Prince.”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
That's right, they had to hurry up and curry favor with the Third Prince. If His Highness really became the Crown Prince and became the Khan in the future, they might all be able to soar.
With this in mind, everyone turned to the room where Ashina Bieso was.
Suddenly, their eyes widened and their pupils constricted.
Everyone's face was suddenly filled with extreme fear.
They stretched out their hands and pointed at the room opposite them. They exclaimed,"That…That…That is…"
"No, not good!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The room was brightly lit, and Ashina Biso's figure was tied up with a rope, hanging in the air, swaying left and right, reflected on the window...
…………
Three days later.
Great Ming Palace, Zichen Hall.
Li Shiming slammed his palm on the table and said,""You still haven't found out? It's been three days? Even if it was a stone, it should have been heated up by now, right? Yet you are telling me that there are no clues at all? Not even a suspect?”
Li Shimin looked down at Xiao Yu and Han Min with a dark expression.
"A Turkic prince has died in a relay station of our Great Tang. Do you know what this means? Moreover, the Turks are constantly using this matter to find trouble with me and even threaten me, saying that if I don't give them an explanation, they will send troops to the Great Tang!”
"This is the first time I've felt so cowardly since I destroyed the Eastern Turks!”
Xiao Yu heard Li Shimin's angry words and quickly said,"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Don't be angry and ruin your body.”
Han Min didn't dare to say anything. She was so afraid that she was trembling.
"How can I not be angry?" Li Shimin said. If that Third Prince was killed by this one, then this one will not say anything. Anyway, that Ashina Biso is very annoying. Even if he dies, this one will be happy!”
"But the key is that he wasn't killed by zhen, yet zhen has to suffer such a bird's anger! If you still can't find out, then let the Turks send out their troops. Do I have to be afraid of them?”
Li Shi Min had been annoyed to death by the Turks these past few days and really wanted to send troops to fight them.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling quickly stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, please don't be rash. Our Great Tang has been plagued by natural disasters for the past few years, and our national strength has been severely depleted.”
"Moreover, another country's prince died in our Great Tang's courier station. If we don't resolve this properly, it will be a huge blow to the image of our Great Tang. In the future, will the envoys of other countries still dare to come to our Great Tang? How will they view our Great Tang?”
"So, the most important thing now is to seize the time to solve the case and find the real culprit," Fang Xuanling said earnestly.”
How could Li Shi Min not know about this?
He frowned and said,"Of course I know that finding the real murderer is the most important thing, but look at them."”
Li Shimin pointed at Xiao Yu and Han Min and said,"It's been three days. What have they found out? The vengeful souls sought their lives! They actually said that this is a vengeful spirit seeking death. Do you want me to announce to the world that this is a vengeful spirit seeking death? Wouldn't the world laugh to death?"
Xiao Yu and Han Min shrunk their necks, their faces full of shame.
But they really didn't find anything. That case was really like a vengeful spirit seeking death.
Fang Xuanling's brows were also tightly knitted. He looked at Xiao Yu and said,""Lord Xiao, are you really unable to find out? You have to know that this is no longer just a simple murder case. This concerns the reputation and image of the Great Tang.”
"Lord Fang, I've really tried my best, but…I really can't find anything!" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly.”
Li Shi Min's brows were tightly knitted together.
"But…"
At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly stole a glance at Li Shimin and said,"However, just because we can't find out, it doesn't mean that others can't find out. Actually…I have a candidate who might be able to solve the case.”
"What do you mean?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Xiao Yu stole another glance at Li Shimin and said,"Lu Qing."
"No!"
Li Shi Min suddenly said," This little rascal, I gave him a marriage and asked him to marry Changle, but he actually dared to refuse. He even said that marrying a princess is not a wife, but an ancestor. Listen, is this human language?"”
"He's currently locked up in the Supreme Court's prison. If he doesn't admit his mistake, don't even think about coming out!”
" Your Majesty," Xiao Yu said weakly," Lu Qing may be a bastard, but he's really capable. If there's anyone in the Great Tang who can solve this case, he's the only one."”
Li Shi Min's face turned even uglier.
Fang Xuanling had also heard of Lu Qing's name. Lu Qing was seventeen years old, and he was the only son of Li Shiming's personal guard when he was still the King of Qin. That guard died for Li Shiming, and Lu Qing's mother passed away early, so Li Shiming took care of Lu Qing like his own son.
That was why the princess Li Lizhi married Lu Qing.
However, who knew that Lu Qing would say that he would have to kneel down every day to marry the princess? It was as if he was marrying an ancestor, so he rejected it.
As a result, Li Shiming was furious and locked him up.
Now that he thought about it, he had been locked up for almost a month.
Fang Xuanling knew that Lu Qing held a high position in Li Shiming's heart, so he thought for a moment and said,""Your Majesty, this is a special period. This case cannot be dragged on any longer, so Your Majesty might as well give Lu Qing a chance to redeem himself.”
"If Lu Qing can solve this case, then forgive him for his mistake and let the Great Tang pass this matter smoothly. If he can't solve this case, then punish him harshly and let him know the consequences of rejecting Your Majesty.”
Li Shi Min thought for a long time after hearing Fang Xuanling's words, his expression changing.
Finally, he sighed.
"Forget it, this little bastard is too lucky!"”
"Pass down my order. Lu Qing is temporarily appointed as the official of the Court of Judicial Review and is in charge of investigating the murder of the Turkic prince! If he could solve the case within three days, he would atone for his crimes and serve the Great Tang as a junior official of the Court of Judicial Review!”
"If you can't, then come back and marry an ancestor…Bah, marry Changle!”
