Chapter 2978 Panic
Checking accounts is nothing more than precision and meticulousness. With the abilities of Chai Zhewei and Xin Mao, they are not just Zuotun guards. Even if they are any of the six yamen, if they are given enough time, they will You can find any fault at all.
But the problem now is that even if something is found, what can be done if the prince's soft-tempered temper won't bear it and won't allow him to target Chai Zhewei?
Fang Jun was very confused.
Li Tai also felt that this matter was very difficult to handle. It was necessary to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and restrain Zuotunwei, but also to control the impact within a certain range, so as not to make Chai Zhewei bear a serious crime. After his father learned about it, he immediately In anger, Guo seizes the title...
Then he said warmly: "I know that this matter is against the rules, but my aunt's kindness is still yesterday. How can my brother watch her flesh and blood being taken away from her title by Guo and reduced to the mortal world? In this matter, I and the prince will definitely remember the friendship between Erlang and Erlang. , Illustrated later.”
Fang Jun sighed and said: "Your Highness said this, how can I disobey you? It's just that for the stability of Guanzhong, Zuotunwei must restrain him. Weichen will naturally control the scale of the matter, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what may happen." , if this matter cannot be controlled, please don’t blame Wei Chen for not keeping his promise.”
Upon hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but straighten his back, frowned at Fang Jun, and asked slowly: "Erlang, is there any hidden secret in this?"
He even told all the royal secrets just because he wanted Fang Jun to accept the favor. However, Fang Jun still insisted on his attitude. It was not just a personal grudge or simply for the sake of stability in Guanzhong. .
There must be something very important that Fang Jun has not said yet, which makes him want to hit Chai Zhewei severely even if he does not care about his face as a prince or even the prince...
Although Fang Er is a good person, he has never been ruthless, which is worthy of his suspicion.
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "There are some things that it is better for Your Highness not to know. When you don't know, you are open-minded and others can't fault you. But once you know, you will inevitably be timid and fearful, which is not a good thing."
Li Tai was silent.
After a long while, he said: "Erlang has his own sense of proportion in doing things. If it is really necessary to target Chai Zhewei, then I have nothing to say. Although I respect my aunt and cannot bear her flesh and blood to be deprived of her title by Guo and reduced to the mortal world, I can't let my father be. However, Erlang still needs to think about how to report this matter to the prince. The prince's temperament... may not approve of you."
Fang Jun nodded: "Ignorant ministers will be spared."
Although Li Tai is a bit narrow-minded and cold-hearted, he is decisive and decisive in killing, far better than Li Chengqian who is indecisive and womanly.
After thinking about it, he stood up and said: "The minister will leave for now and go to His Highness the Prince for consultation."
Li Tai knew that he was very concerned about this matter and did not hold back. He stood up to see him off and said solemnly: "No matter what the prince's opinion is, I hope that Erlang will take the stability of Guanzhong as his top priority. After all, my father is away on an expedition and Guanzhong's troops are empty. Once Changes...are unimaginable.”
Fang Jun bowed and saluted: "Wei Chen has taken note of it and said goodbye."
"Go slowly, don't send me off."
"Your Highness, stay."
……
After leaving Furong Garden, I found that dark clouds were gradually gathering in the sky, and it seemed that another heavy rain was about to fall.
Spring rain is as precious as oil. Continuous rainfall at this critical moment of spring plowing is a great joy, but Fang Jun is not happy at all.
He really didn't expect that the relationship between the Chai brothers and the royal family would be so deeply involved...
However, Zuotunwei must be restricted, otherwise it is very likely to become an extremely unstable factor in Guanzhong. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
Taking a deep breath, he rode back to the imperial city with his troops and rushed to the Civil Affairs Office to meet the prince Li Chengqian.
*****
Chai Zhewei came out of the Furong Garden, his face gloomy as if he was about to drip.
He was panicking now. Face didn't matter at all. If this disaster could be eliminated, let alone being insulted by Fang Jun, so what if he was stepped on his face and rubbed on the ground?
He knew his own affairs, and all the top and bottom members of the Zuo Tun Guard were descendants of powerful people and aristocratic families. In order to maintain his prestige in the Zuo Tun Guard, he treated these people quite tolerantly. He usually regarded these generals under his command as embezzlement of food, greed for money, and weapons. If you don't see it, you can use it to win people's hearts. In fact, he himself is not very greedy.
But the problem is that once the account books are thoroughly investigated and deleted, who will believe that Chai Zhewei is innocent?
In fact, condoning your subordinates' corruption and extortion is one of the gravest sins...
Once it is completely exposed, I am afraid that His Majesty far away in Liaodong will be furious. The army may not be deported, but it is almost certain that the Duke of Qiao will be demoted to a lower rank.
For the nobles of the aristocratic family, all their wealth and life are worthless. Only this inheritable title is the iron-clad kingdom!
As long as the title of Tongxiu is there, how much wealth can be easily captured, why should future generations work like those mud-legged people to earn it with all their lives?
If this title is lost in his hands, he, Chai Zhewei, will not only be the eternal sinner of the Chai family, but how will he see his mother under Jiuquan a hundred years from now?
This title was earned by my mother with her outstanding achievements as a woman!
Chai Zhewei wiped his face, looked at the gloomy sky, and stood at the gate of Furong Garden for a long time. He thought about it and thought that he should throw away his dignity now. As long as he could save this crisis, Keeping the title doesn't matter.
After thinking for a while, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go to Princess Baling's Mansion!"
After saying that, he reined in his horse and galloped towards Yongjiafang in the north of the city. He didn't care about being impeached by the censor for "riding his horse in the street"...
After a princess in the Tang Dynasty got married, the emperor would usually grant a princess palace in Chang'an City. The size of the palace would vary depending on the princess's status and degree of favor. But there are also some who will not be given a mansion. For example, when Princess Changle married into the eldest grandson's family, and later Princess Gaoyang married into the Fang family, they only opened an open space in the man's mansion to build a new residence for the princess.
After Princess Baling married Chai Lingwu, the princess residence granted by His Majesty Li Er was located in Yongjiafang.
Yongjiafang is located inside Tonghua Gate, and is only separated by a wall from the Xingqing Palace where Emperor Gaozu lived after his abdication...
Chai Zhewei led his soldiers to the gate of Princess Baling's Mansion in Yongjiafang. He swung the stirrup from his saddle and got off his horse. There was already a gatekeeper running up to meet him. Before he could speak, Chai Zhewei had already thrown the reins to the soldiers behind him. Asked: "Your Highness, can you be in the house?"
Menzi was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's just..."
However, Chai Zhewei had already walked up the stone steps in front of the door, walked in through the door, and said: "Go and report to His Highness, and tell me that I have something to ask for."
"Here."
The disciple quickly sent the people around him to inform the inner house, while he followed Chai Zhewei and led him into the main hall. At the same time, he secretly wondered: This person is usually strict and old-fashioned, and he is unsmiling. In private, he would stay away from even casual meetings with his younger siblings. , it is really strange that he hurriedly entered the house to ask for an audience today...
When he arrived at the main hall, Chai Zhewei sat on a chair on one side, and a maid served him fragrant tea.
After a while, after receiving the news, Princess Baling quickly changed her clothes, arranged her hair and make-up, and then came out to meet her.
Chai Zhewei stood up and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."
Princess Baling hurriedly said: "Why should Duke Qiao be so polite? They are all members of our own family, so just be casual."
He came to the main seat and sat down, and asked: "I wonder why Duke Qiao came here?"
Her eldest brother-in-law has a very old-fashioned character. He always stands tall in front of her sister, a princess. He is respectful and distant at the same time. It is hard to imagine that he would come to the princess's house to see her.
Chai Zhewei looked around and said, "Your Highness, please send the waiter away."
Princess Baling became more and more surprised and waved her hand to ask the chamberlain and maid to leave.
These servants were a little hesitant. After all, the eldest brother-in-law was meeting with his younger siblings, but there was no one around him... This was very rude and easily criticized. However, seeing Chai Zhewei's gloomy expression, he did not dare to say anything more and could only retreat.
But after retreating, they each stood at the door, listening to the movements in the hall with their ears pricked up. If there was anything unusual, they would rush in to protect the reputation of their royal highnesses...
After all the waiters had retreated, Princess Baling was about to ask, when she saw Chai Zhewei lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee in the hall...
Princess Baling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly stood up and stepped aside, saying quickly: "What are you doing, Duke Qiao? Please get up quickly!"
Although she is a princess and has a wealth of wealth, she has no reason to let her eldest brother-in-law, a prince of the country, kneel down and worship her. Regardless of Chai Zhewei's purpose, if this scene spreads, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. Maybe tomorrow Zongzheng Temple will come to punish her for the crime of "arrogance and domineering"... (End of this chapter)
