Chapter 3791: Messy
Yuwen Shiji shook his head. It seems that today's negotiation has come to an end. The East Palace has the advantage, its confidence has doubled, and its urgency for peace talks has also been greatly reduced. If it is done forcefully, the conditions Guan Long will have to pay are too great. Not only are they It will be difficult to enter the imperial court in this life, and there will be no hope for future generations.
The situation is indeed urgent for the Guanlong clan, but the more it becomes so, the more he has to be able to endure the wear and tear of his temper bit by bit, and strive for looser conditions for Guanlong as much as possible...
He shook his head with a hint of disappointment, stood up and said: "Liu Shizhong has a tough character. He is a good man as the censor, but he is not tactful in handling court affairs. He is even more unskilled in the task of peace talks. Let's stop here today. I hope Liu Shizhong will have time to think about it when he returns, otherwise I will have no choice but to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to replace him with someone else to host the peace talks.”
The smile on Liu Ji's face froze, and he was dissatisfied: This is questioning my ability to serve as an official!
If Yu Wenshiji seriously asked the prince for permission to find someone else to host the peace talks, would the prince agree? Liu Jie's thoughts were running through his mind, and he was a little concerned about gains and losses, but he was unwilling to fall into the disadvantage. He pretended to be tough and said: "I originally didn't want to get involved in the peace talks. It's just that the prince has issued a mission, and as a minister, he has to obey it. If the Ying Kingdom I wish that the Duke could change His Majesty’s mind and appoint someone else to take charge of this matter.”
Yuwenshi and where are the fuel-efficient lamps?
Wen Yan nodded and said with a smile: "If Liu Shizhong is really like this, I might as well give you a favor and go to the palace later to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for instructions, so as not to prevent Liu Shizhong from being forced to do anything, causing miscommunication between the two parties, causing misunderstandings and delaying important matters for both parties."
Seeing that Yu Wenshiji seemed to be coming for real, Liu Ji could hardly hold back his smile...
After much effort and effort, I got the approval of Cen Wenwen, who made him work hard to plan for himself to lead the peace talks, hoping to gain enough merit and qualifications to stand firm in the position of prime minister and assistant in the future. Heel, if Yu Wenshiji really went to tell the prince, and the prince withdrew his job in anger, wouldn't he cry to death?
But at this time, I couldn't give in. I could only watch Yuwen Shiji walk out of the office with a forced smile. I felt uneasy and cursed secretly: This old fox...
Standing at the door to see each other off, Liu Ji couldn't help but feel excited when he saw Yu Wenshi and turned toward the inner gate. After thinking about it, he explained the official business at hand, and then asked for a fast horse to turn over and leave. Go up and ride to Cen Wenwen's residence.
*****
Chai Lingwu rode on horseback and led a group of servants to the Xuanwu Gate aggressively. As soon as he passed the Jingyao Gate, he was intercepted by patrolling scouts. Chai Lingwu tried to force his way through, but had to give in under the opponent's strong crossbow.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
The leader, Wang Fangyi, shouted loudly that the grain and grain of the Guanlong rebels had been burned, lest they break the jars and suddenly launch a large-scale raid. The guards of the right camp were prepared, and he also led the scouts to patrol the front line.
Chai Lingwu patiently said, "I am Chai Lingwu. I have something to ask of Fang Jun. Please let me know as soon as possible!"
"Chai Lingwu?"
Wang Fangyi was suspicious in his heart. When Princess Baling came last night, he personally escorted her out of the Marshal's tent. Chai Lingwu came looking for her this morning. These two couples are really interesting...
Although Princess Baling did not stay overnight last night, Wang Fangyi firmly believed that there was an ambiguous relationship between the princess and his own commander. Now that Chai Lingwu came to the door in a menacing manner, it must not be a good thing. It would be troublesome if he caught an adulterer... …
Then he yelled and scolded: "How presumptuous! The commander-in-chief has many things to do and is busy with military affairs. How can you meet him just when you say he wants to? You can leave the name card first, and I will forward it to the commander-in-chief for you. I will receive you again when the commander-in-chief is free. Now. Please leave the military stronghold as soon as possible, otherwise we will capture them all and deal with them in detail!”
The soldiers behind him drew their swords out of their sheaths with a "choking" sound, and stared at him eagerly.
Chai Lingwu was so angry that he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! If Fang Er doesn't see me today, I will rush to Zongzheng Temple and sue him for his adulterous wife and abuse of the royal princess. I will fight to the death with him!"
"Ah?!"
All the scouts were so frightened that they opened their mouths wide and their eyes widened. What else? Our handsome guy... is awesome!
Wang Fangyi felt bad. Chai Lingwu was really here to catch an adulterer. Although he was "catching an adulterer and a couple", Princess Baling had already left. If Chai Lingwu refused and went to Zongzheng Temple to complain, it would indeed be a big trouble. .
Because he firmly believed that Princess Baling and Fang Jun would have a happy time last night...
He could only say: "Are you seeking death by insulting our commander with such words? I will take you to confront the commander right now. If you make even half a lie, I will not spare you!"
Then he turned around and ordered: "What happened here will bring disgrace to the commander-in-chief's reputation. No word should be leaked, otherwise military law will be enforced!"
"Here!"
All the scouts were stunned and hurriedly responded.
Wang Fangyi then took Chai Lingwu to the Youtunwei camp. When they got outside the commander's tent, he asked Chai Lingwu to wait here while he went inside to report.
……
"Chai Lingwu?"
"Yes."
Fang Jun frowned, not wanting to see this person. Putting aside the past grievances and grudges, he just sent his wife to someone else's house for the sake of title, so he didn't want to pay attention to him, not to mention that Princess Baling caught him last night. Now facing Chai Lingwu, it is inevitable to be embarrassed.
He said: "No."
Wang Fangyi hesitated for a moment, wondering: "That Chai Lingwu is clamoring everywhere. If the commander does not accept him, he will go to Zongzheng Temple to sue the commander for his adulterous wife and abuse of the royal princess..."
"Mother!"
Before he finished speaking, Fang Jun was already furious.
How come these two couples know this? He was not afraid that Chai Lingwu would really do this. He had done nothing and had a clear conscience. Who else would dare to accuse him unjustly? Besides, when it comes to catching an adulterer, if you don’t pin her down on the bed, as long as you lift your pants and refuse to admit it, no one will be able to do anything!
But it is a trouble in the end, and this kind of thing is easy to talk about but not easy to hear...
I had to suppress my anger and said: "Let him get in!"
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi turned around and walked out, but secretly thought in his heart: It seems that the matter between the Marshal and Princess Baling is settled. Princess Baling must have been unable to bear the loneliness last night and slipped out of Chang'an in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with the Marshal, but Chai Lingwu noticed it. , so he came to chase him...
As a subordinate, not only would I not think there was anything wrong with my character when it came to the romantic affairs of my superiors, but I would actually feel that I was really capable. Others would play courtesan in the office, but our marshal would play the role of princess... which is why he is so proud.
When he came out of the tent, he saw Chai Lingwu and said, "Chai's son-in-law has been summoned by the commander."
Chai Lingwu snorted, opened the door curtain, and stepped inside.
Two of Fang Jun's soldiers at the door wanted to go in for protection, but Wang Fangyi called out: "Don't be nervous, these dandies are like embroidered pillows. The commander can fight twenty of them, so why do they need protection?"
Is this kind of thing harmful to public opinion? The less people know about it, the better...
Chai Ling Wu Da walked in and saw Fang Jun sitting behind the desk. He took two steps forward, pointed his halberd and said angrily: "Fang Er, you are so shameless, people and gods are angry!"
Fang Jun put down the official document in his hand, leaned on the back of his chair, and looked at the angry Chai Lingwu in front of him. There was not much anger in his heart because of the other party's disrespect, but more disgust.
He said coldly: "No matter how shameless my second roommate is, I can't do such a stupid thing as selling my wife for glory. Besides, I didn't touch a finger of Princess Baling last night. If you dare to continue talking nonsense outside, Don’t blame me for being rude to you if you ruin my reputation!”
Chai Lingwu was stunned for a moment, then became furious and shouted: "Despicable, shameless! In the past, I respected your Fang Er as a man, but now you have done it and you dare not admit it?"
He was scolding fiercely, but in fact he was already uneasy in his heart. He had sacrificed so much and put a man's dignity on the line. What would happen if this guy got rid of all the consequences and refused to accept the blame? The purpose of coming here this time is to strike a promise from Fang Jun while the iron is hot. You, the Duke of Yue and the Minister of War, can't just take it for free, right? But now it seems that I completely underestimated Fang Jun's shamelessness.
If this guy is determined not to admit his guilt, he really has no choice. Could he drag Princess Baling to confront her?
Little did he know that Fang Jun was also in trouble.
If the title of "Duke Qiao" was left alone, Chai Lingwu might actually rush to Zongzheng Temple to sue him in anger. Regardless of whether there is such a thing as raping a wife or torturing a princess, once word spreads about it, it will inevitably create a trend, and the news will become more and more popular in the city. In the end, it will be difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth.
But if he agreed to do it for him, wouldn't he admit that he really slept with Princess Baling last night? Otherwise, why do you have a "guilty conscience" and obediently do things for someone when your husband knocks on your door?
Fang Jun found that this matter was not easy to handle. It was clearly Chai Lingwu who was causing trouble, but he had mishandled it if he was careless. He was not a human being inside and outside. (End of chapter)
