Chapter 3063 Looking for Trouble
King Ji Li Shen wore a brocade robe and jade belt, and held a gold-painted folding fan in his hand. He also had red lips and white teeth. He looked suave, elegant, and talented.
Seeing the three people receiving the gift, he returned the gift with a smile and said: "Without any gift, I have always admired the Qiancheng of Yin State in Mafu. Brother-in-law, I can't bear this gift from you... Oh, Uncle Wang of Hejian." Yes? Haha, that’s quite a coincidence.”
Between the laughter, it is thought-provoking.
Fang Jun and Li Daozong stood up and looked at each other.
Ma Zhou said: "Your Highness, please come in and speak."
Li Shen nodded and said: "That's how it should be." He turned to the guards behind him and said: "Stay here, don't move around, let alone cause trouble."
After entering the yamen, Li Shen stood there, pointing to a tall young man next to him, and introduced to the three of them: "This is Wei Hongbiao, the Dianjun in my palace."
Then Wei Hongbiao stepped forward, bowed his hands to the ground, and said respectfully: "I have seen the prince, the Duke of Yue, and the Yin of Ma Fu."
Li Shen looked at Fang Jun and said: "I heard that some of the Wei family's children collided with the Duke of Yue. I think it must be a misunderstanding. Originally, the Duke of Yue should take out those bastards, but Wei Hongbiao has followed me for many years. The friendship is deep. Among those people is his younger brother, who is young and frivolous and has no experience in the world. Therefore, he asked me to come and ask for personal favors from the Duke of Yue. "
Then he looked at Fang Jun, waiting for Fang Jun's reply.
It's just that he looks relaxed on the surface, but in fact he is pounding in his heart...
Who is Fang Er? In the entire city of Chang'an, there was not a single dandy who dared to yell in front of him. Occasionally, there were one or two tough-headed ones who had been kept submissive by him for a long time. Now that Wei Zhengju has provoked Fang Jun, who knows how Fang Jun will get angry?
So he didn't dare to open his mouth to plead for Wei Zhengju, but brought out Wei Hongbiao as an excuse to test Fang Jun's tone and see Fang Jun's attitude.
Fang Jun was silent, but Ma Zhou had already said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please come in and explain it in detail. This matter is not caused by the Duke of Yue deliberately making things difficult. It is really a hidden agenda. There are so many people here, and I am afraid that there are many misconceptions about Your Highness." Unfavorable.”
Li Shen was suddenly shocked and confused.
He had long realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Jingzhao Mansion today. All the officials inside and outside looked serious, and the soldiers and officials at the door were strictly prohibited from entering or leaving. Even when he, the prince, came, he had to give permission in advance. No direct entry is allowed.
What's going on?
Especially when the three backbones of the prince's lineage, Li Daozong, Fang Jun, and Ma Zhou, were all gathered in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, how could they just be over something as trivial as Wei Zhengju's confrontation with Fang Jun?
Glancing at Wei Hongbiao next to him, he not only secretly regretted it in his heart.
He is His Majesty's biological son. Although he is not his legitimate son, he is unlikely to have the chance to succeed the Crown Prince. However, the competition between the DPRK and the Central Government for the Crown Prince has become increasingly fierce, and a prince like him has become the target of all parties competing to win over him. And since he doesn't have any big ambitions, he naturally doesn't want to get involved in that kind of right and wrong.
But I didn’t expect that if I was not careful today, I might get stuck in the mud, and I couldn’t help but feel very upset...
However, so many people were watching him enter the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. Even turning around at this time was of no use. They could only smile bitterly and said: "It seems that I have come at the wrong time... That's all. I'll make peace with myself now that I'm here." , let’s go inside and talk.”
This is a smart man...
Li Daozong glanced at Li Shen, the usually unassuming King of Ji, with slight surprise. As the king's uncle, he stepped forward and took Li Shen's hand, and said with a smile: "You are here, just in time to have a cup of tea and chat, we gentlemen. But I haven’t seen him for a long time, and it’s rare to have such an opportunity.”
Li Shen thought about the meaning of these words and felt a little relieved...
……
Naturally, I will not go to the main hall. Firstly, it is not a place to entertain guests. Moreover, there is a corpse lying there, which damages the hospitality...
The three of them welcomed Li Shen, King of Ji, to the side hall. After the scribe offered the tea, Ma Zhou rebuked him and raised his hand to invite Li Shen to drink tea.
Li Shen took a sip of tea and put down the cup. His eyes passed over the faces of Li Daozong and Ma Zhou, then stopped on Fang Jun's face, and asked: "What happened? As far as I know, Wei Zheng Ju did indeed collide with his brother-in-law, but In the final analysis, it was just a dispute of temper. Just now, the mother-in-law sent someone to inform me and asked me to come and take him away. I also wanted to apologize to my brother-in-law... Wouldn't my brother-in-law not give me face for such a trivial matter? ”
Fang Jun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If before, His Highness only had to take people away, how could I not obey? But now that things have changed, I can't make the decision anymore."
Li Shen looked at Ma Zhou again and asked curiously: "Is it possible that the Jingzhao Mansion is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, where you can get in but can't get out?"
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly, handed the confession transcript in his hand to Li Shen, and sighed: "Jingzhao Mansion is His Majesty's Jingzhao Mansion, how can you not give His Highness face? Your Highness might as well take a look at this thing now, and then we can talk. ”
Li Shen took it with a suspicious look on his face, lowered his head and looked through it roughly.
If you don’t look at it, you will be surprised. If you look at it, you will be shocked.
Wei Hongguang is actually dead?
When the Jingzhao Mansion was interrogating him as usual, he suddenly hit a pillar and died, even before he was sentenced...
Mother!
Is this king just having nothing to do and jumped into the muddy water and got himself covered in mud? He is not an idiot. Just looking at the strangeness of this matter, he knows that there must be a terrible secret behind it. I can't help but cry secretly in my heart, mother concubine, you are killing me...
With a solemn expression, he put down the confession transcript, looked at the three of them for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I really just heard that one of Jingzhao Wei's children had violated the Duke of Yue, so I came here to ask for a favor. After all, Jingzhao Wei is the The mother clan of this king has always been more concerned..."
The three people didn't say anything, they remained silent and looked at him with faint eyes.
Even if you enter the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, how can you get away with it?
Li Shen was halfway through speaking, but he couldn't continue. He forced out an extremely embarrassing smile in the dim gazes of the three people.
At this moment, he just wants to turn back time, so that even if someone whips him from behind, he will never step into the gate of Jingzhao Mansion...
For a prince like him who has no ambition or qualifications, the wisest thing to do is to stay out of the matter and not get involved in anything.
Otherwise, once he is involved, no matter what happens, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
However, today it was not him who was looking for trouble, but him who was looking for trouble himself, and actually stepped into this quagmire...
But if you step in, you have to find a way to get out.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "What about Wei Zhengju's confession?"
Ma Zhou naturally understood what he meant. He was asking whether Wei Hongguang's death could be related to Wei Zhengju. After all, he was here to intercede for Wei Zhengju. If Wei Zhengju was innocent, then he could only It can be regarded as being dragged down by Wei Hongguang.
And if Wei Zhengju is related to Wei Hongguang's death, and he, the prince, comes to intercede for Wei Zhengju all the time, then the trouble will be big, because the nature is completely different...
Ma Zhou said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, Wei Zhengju refuses to admit the accusations he is suspected of, and does not know anything about the rest."
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should not be mentioned to Li Shen. It is against the rules and will inevitably be suspected of being leaked.
But Ma Zhou had no choice but to be dragged into the water by Jingzhao Weishi in a daze. If Ji Wang Li Shen was involved again, the matter would probably not end.
After all, this is the son of His Majesty Li Er. If Jingzhao Weishi really has any secrets that cannot be revealed, and it concerns the court or even the palace...
When Li Shen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, okay... I didn't know that there was such a thing. Since Wei Zhengju had nothing to do with it, I didn't care about the others. That's all." Go back first, I have to worry about you all taking care of things here.”
He was on pins and needles now, being inexplicably involved in this matter, wishing he could fly out of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen with wings.
Li Daozong coughed dryly and sighed: "Your Highness, it would be better to sit down for a while. We have just notified Baiqisi. I believe Li Junxian will arrive soon."
When Li Shen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is indeed for his own sake. His coming to Jingzhao Mansion today cannot be hidden from others. At least these few people in front of him will definitely not cover up for him. And when "Baiqisi" intervenes, they can't cover up. If he left in a hurry after hearing the news of Wei Hongguang's death and turned around to find out what was written in the "Hundred Qisi" file, then no one could control it as Li Junxian speculated.
Wait a moment, and after Li Junxian arrives, it will be necessary to communicate with him.
At least Li Junxian won't write randomly based on his own guesses, otherwise Li Shen will be very passive...
Just as he was talking, there was the sound of footsteps outside. Li Junxian, who was wearing a helmet and pierced armor, went directly into the room without passing through. When he saw a few people sitting there, he bowed his hands and saluted: "General, I have met His Royal Highness King Ji, I have met the Duke, I have met." The Duke of Yue met Ma Fuyin."
The gesture is very polite, but the face is very serious...(End of Chapter)
