Chapter 3238 It’s hard to escape the relationship
When Li Chengqian walked back to the palace from the back hall, he was worried.
The root cause of this crisis is that Wei Zhengju sneaked into the Royal Forbidden City to commit misdeeds. What kind of "unruly" thing is this? Naturally, they are two princesses.
To be more precise, Wei Zhengju's target must be Princess Jinyang.
But a child from a famous family sneaked into the Royal Forbidden City in the middle of the night to do something inappropriate to Her Highness the Princess... This sounds very unbelievable.
What kind of place is the Royal Forbidden Garden? The guards were heavily guarded. Even if he could sneak in secretly, or even if he could succeed, wouldn't he consider the consequences?
Everyone in the government and the public knew that Si Zi was the center of his father's heart. He was held in his mouth for fear of melting, held in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and he was loved beyond measure.
Who dares to do something unethical to Sizi? Doesn't he think about how to bear the wrath of his father?
Just for a moment of pleasure, he will cut off his own future, ruin his life, and even plunge his family into an abyss of eternal destruction? What a fool you have to be to do something like this.
It’s really unreasonable...
When they arrived at the palace, they saw Crown Princess Su chatting with the two princesses Changle and Jinyang. The Crown Princess didn't know what happened in the previous palace, but her smile was bright and enthusiastic, but Changle and Jinyang had a forced expression on their faces. The smile is very forced.
Seeing Li Chengqian walking into the hall, the three of them quickly stood up to greet him.
Li Chengqian waved his hand casually and said: "My family, why do you need to be polite? Just sit down."
He walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at Changle and Jinyang, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened in the Jiuwei Mountain Forbidden Garden?"
Changle glanced at Jinyang, then told what happened in the Forbidden Garden, and then said: "Originally, we just wanted to find out the identity of the person who infiltrated, and then teach him a lesson. At most, we would send him to Jingzhao. The government will punish him in accordance with the law. Unexpectedly, the imperial guard captain insisted on sending the infiltrator to the "Baiqisi". We could not stop him and could only let him do what he did."
Li Chengqian asked: "What about the captain?"
Princess Changle looked helpless and sighed: "After dawn, Li Chongzhen, the chief of the 'Hundred Cavalry Division', led a brigade of elite cavalry to the Forbidden Garden and took over the defense of the Forbidden Garden. Later, they found that the school captain had committed suicide by taking poison."
This incident was a huge blow to the two sisters. Who would have thought that such a deliberate conspiracy would happen right next to them?
Princess Jinyang, who had been silent all this time, hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Brother Prince, then...is that Wei Zhengju really dead?"
Li Chengqian glanced at her, nodded and said, "He died suddenly of poisoning just after he was sent to Baiqisi."
"Ah!"
Princess Jinyang exclaimed softly, covering her lips with one hand, and her bright eyes flashed with water.
Li Chengqian frowned and looked at her, and asked softly: "Si Zi, is there anything hidden in this?"
Princess Jinyang finally shed tears and sobbed: "I just wanted to tease him and make him retreat. I never thought of harming him..."
Princess Changle beside her quickly comforted her with gentle words. After a long while, Princess Jinyang calmed down and sent her school captain to trick Wei Zhengju into going to the Forbidden Garden for a private meeting. However, she planned to capture him on the spot for "breaking into the Forbidden Garden without permission." The crime of "unruly behavior" forced Wei Zhengju to give up his marriage proposal and explain everything clearly.
The Crown Princess Su on the side stared with a pair of bright eyes and her beautiful face was full of shock. Seeing Princess Jinyang's self-blame, she quickly comforted her and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. Who would want such a thing to happen? It's hateful." The thief must have been ambushing His Highness. Even if you hadn't deceived Wei Zhengju, they would have found other opportunities, and the result would still be the same."
Princess Jinyang's attempt to deceive Wei Zhengju was an impromptu idea. It can be seen that the captain must have been the spy who had been placed beside Princess Jinyang for a long time. When he saw an opportunity, he took action and took poison and committed suicide immediately after the deed was accomplished. Such behavior, He is a standard "dead soldier".
Even if there was no frame-up of Wei Zhengju this time, he would still take action if he got the chance in the future.
This time it was Wei Zhengju who was unlucky, but if he is unlucky next time, I don’t know who it is. Maybe these people will just attack Princess Jinyang...
Li Chengqian sighed softly: "The Crown Princess is right. If those thieves never find an opportunity, they will attack you if they have no choice but to look away. Don't be sad."
He said words of relief on his lips, but he was very anxious in his heart.
As a result, Wei Zhengju's death became increasingly inseparable from the royal family, and Jingzhao Weishi was absolutely unwilling to let it go. On the surface, they naturally dare not do anything treacherous and unethical, but in private, once someone comes to contact them, it is very easy to fall to those people's side.
What's particularly important is that "Hundred Qisi" bears the responsibility of "ignoring human life", and the most direct impact is that he, the prince of the prison country, is responsible for half of the infamy. A "foolish and innocent" evaluation must be impossible to escape.
How many people are secretly resentful and disappointed in themselves?
Pheasant slave......
Li Chengqian shook his head irritably, and could only sincerely hope that this matter was not planned by Pheasant Nu, otherwise he would feel very disappointed.
It's still the same principle. It's OK to compete for the position of prince, but it must be placed within a set of rules. He ignored the turbulent court situation and stirred up the situation without a bottom line. Although it did put great pressure on Li Chengqian, it also undermined his ability to succeed. The image of a "benevolent lord" in the minds of courtiers, but the consequences are endless.
Once the situation gets out of control, Chang'an will be in turmoil, and the foundation of the empire will be shaken. If there is a slight change in the situation in Liaodong, the world will be wary, and the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty will be repeated...
*****
Late at night, Wei family.
A row of lanterns hangs under the eaves outside the study door, and the bright light illuminates the stone tables, stone benches, rockeries, and bamboos in the yard.
More than a dozen servants stood under the eaves, scanning the left and right, not allowing anyone to approach the study.
In the study room.
The two contemporary "big men" of the Wei family, Wei Ting and Wei Yuancheng, sat on their knees opposite each other, looking at the letter on the table in front of them with their eyes, the candle shadow flickering, and they were speechless.
A pot of hot tea was steaming with white air, but neither of them took a sip.
After a long time, Wei Yuancheng, whose beard and hair were all white, finally let out a breath and said slowly: "What do you think about this matter?"
Wei Ting's originally handsome face has become old and decadent, and his hair has turned gray. He looks ten years older than last year, but his waist is still straight, his expression is more resolute, his eyes are shining brightly, and his momentum is getting stronger. Appears to be extremely sharp.
Hearing this, he remained motionless, but his eyelids drooped, and he said decisively: "The royal family is absolutely inseparable from the death of Wei Zhengju. Even if it has nothing to do with the prince, Fang Jun may not be able to clear away the suspicion...especially Bai Qi's death." Si', since he is a royal eagle dog, everything he does must comply with the will of the royal family. Wei Zhengju sent him to Baidu How could it be such a coincidence that Qi Si died suddenly? What's more important is that even though Wei Zhengju behaved a bit lightly, he was by no means an idiot. How could he have committed the most minor crime of trespassing in the forbidden garden? How could he do such a stupid thing if his career was ruined? "
Wei Yuancheng frowned in thought and said: "Even so, but there is no evidence at all, so what? Even if the Three Law Departments intervene in this case, if our family wants to find the truth, it will be as difficult as heaven."
The fact is that even if the Sanjue Division detects the case and gives the Wei family an answer, will the Wei family believe that it is the truth of the matter?
In the previous episode, the Wei family was plunged into an unprecedented crisis due to Chang Sun's words. The entire family was almost involved in a huge turmoil, and the one who took action was "Baiqisi".
And because Wei Zhengju wanted to marry Princess Jinyang, he had trouble with Fang Jun and was suppressed repeatedly. Regardless of whether Fang Jun and Princess Jinyang have an affair, it is an indisputable fact that Fang Jun does not want Wei Zhengju to marry Princess Jinyang. It is really reasonable and reasonable for Fang Jun to set a trap to frame Wei Zhengju.
As for whether this is sensational... Let's ask Qiu Xinggong and Changsun Wuji how they feel about the deaths of Qiu Shenji and Changsun Dan.
This is the so-called "first impression".
After pondering for a while, Wei Yuancheng sighed and said distressedly: "The prince...the King of Jin...one regards Fang Jun as a humerus, and the other fully supports the King of Jin. The road ahead for our Wei family will be difficult."
The Changsun family was deceived by the Changsun family. Not only did they lose their lives, but they also almost caused the entire Wei family to be implicated. The Wei family and the Changsun family had deep hatred and were at odds with each other. Now Wei Zhengju's death is most likely related to Fang Jun, and he is extremely hostile to the Wei family. Considering the prince's reliance on Fang Jun, even if the Wei family supports the prince's rise to power, how can he smoothly become a minister of Qiandi in the future? , use the power of Conglong to revitalize the lintel?
The current prince, as well as the future prince who is most likely to ascend to the throne, are not the backers that the Wei family can loyally rely on. (End of chapter)
