Chapter 3795 Intimate Cotton Jacket
Even though his heart was in turmoil, Yu Wenshiji's tone remained firm: "Liu Shizhong has worried too much, and this matter will definitely not happen. Guanlong and others have great expectations for the peace talks, and cannot bear that the people of Guanzhong and the soldiers of both sides will continue to suffer the trauma of the war. Therefore, we are sincere in stopping the war.”
Liu Jie nodded and said: "It's best to promote peace talks as soon as possible to support the interests of both you and me. However, the military headed by Fang Jun is extremely resistant to the peace talks and has repeatedly undermined them. You also know this, Lord Ying." .Now the room Jun made a great contribution, causing the situation to reverse, and even the prince obeyed his words. If Duke Ying still wants to promote peace talks, please try to relax the bottom line, otherwise the longer the delay, the longer the night will be. "
What he said was "the interests of both you and me" rather than "Donggong and Guanlong", which can be regarded as a clear position: I represent the civil service system of Donggong and do not want to be dominated by the military, so it is urgent to promote peace talks and regain the initiative. Your side represents the vast majority The Guanlong clan intends to exclude Changsun Wuji and gain control of the entire Guanlong clan... We know each other well, and we both have great hopes for peace talks and can gain great benefits, so we don't The level is too high and affects everyone's interests.
And it must be you who take the initiative to relax the bottom line. Who let you, a group of rabble, be beaten by Fang Er and be defeated and defeated?
Of course, Yu Wenshi knew this in his heart. Now that the situation has reversed, they must be the ones to give in. Especially Fang Jun, who is a big stick who completely ignores the peace talks policy of the East Palace and sends troops unscrupulously to carry out sneak attacks. No one knows when he will come back again. Go up like this.
What's more, hundreds of thousands of stones and grains have been burned, and Guanlong's army is worried about food shortages. How can they hold on for too long?
He didn't care much about giving up some benefits and paying some price. After all, the benefits gained by Guan Long taking the lead in promoting the peace talks were too huge. Just like this, he will challenge Changsun Wuji's authority and push him down from his position as the leader of Guanlong. This will definitely trigger a strong resistance from Changsun Wuji, which is really difficult...
Therefore, peace talks cannot be promoted as quickly as possible. There are countless interests involved in the peace talks. If they cannot be weighed and appeased in advance, there will be future troubles.
The two of them discussed the peace talks in the government office for a long time. Near evening, Yu Wenshi said goodbye and left.
Liu Jie ordered a new pot of tea, and he sat alone in the government office, sipping the tea slowly, thinking about the current situation, and weighing the consequences for him if Chai Lingwu died, Fang Jun became a suspect, and he was infamy. What kind of benefits it has, and what kind of catalytic effect it has on the current situation.
The most direct and obvious benefit is that through this incident, Fang Jun is under suspicion. If he can never get rid of it, it will be equivalent to a huge moral flaw. It might have been fine in the past, after all, no one dared to challenge Fang Jun's authority and anger in this regard, but in the future if Fang Jun ascends to the throne and becomes the prime minister, what happened today will become a huge obstacle, blocking Fang Jun's progress. footsteps.
Looking at the court, after the prince ascends the throne, there will be only a handful of people who are qualified to threaten the throne and become prime minister, and he, Liu Jie, will definitely be the first in line. As long as Fang Jun hesitates on his way to promotion, he will not be able to become prime minister. The most likely candidate for the position of assistant is Liu Jie.
As for the moment, Liu Ji felt that there was no need to fight head-on with Fang Jun. Fang Jun's status in the heart of the prince was unmatched by anyone. If he kept arguing with Fang Jun, he would only arouse the prince's disgust. Furthermore, the prince has a gentle personality, so he will definitely not like a strong and aggressive minister to become the head of the prime minister and bear the important responsibility of governing the world.
The peace talks are of great benefit to him, but from the current situation, it seems that the peace talks will happen sooner or later. There is no need to fight for this day and night, which makes the prince hate himself and even leads to strong confrontation from the military...
But after a while, his thoughts came back, and he was filled with doubts: Who killed Chai Lingwu and blamed Fang Jun?
Liu Ji thought about it, but he couldn't think of anyone who could kill Chai Lingwu and blame Fang Jun even though he knew it would not cause too much direct harm to Fang Jun...
*****
Inside Princess Baling's mansion, there was a gloomy atmosphere.
News came back that Chai Lingwu had been shot and killed. His body was still on the road. The palace and Zongzheng Temple had sent people to attend the funeral. Countless white flags were erected, and a string of yellow paper was hung in front of the door. Men were on the left and women were on the right, so they were hung on the right. The age of the deceased is printed each year to let the neighbors know that there is a funeral at home. At this time, people come to help with the funeral arrangements...
However, now that the Chang'an mutiny and the war are raging, the daily operations of the imperial court have long been at a standstill, and all government offices such as Taichang and Zongzheng have been closed and sealed. To suddenly organize a funeral of such a standard, it is inevitable that there will be insufficient manpower, it will be quite deserted, and it will be a little rushed.
In the inner hall of the princess's mansion, the concubines and maids cried everywhere, and there was a mist and misery.
Who would have expected that Chai Lingwu, who was still in his prime, would go out in an aggressive manner early in the morning, only to receive news of his death within a short time? Although the princess is respected in the palace, and the sudden death of the consort will not cause the whole sky to fall, but after all, the backbone of the family has been lost, and grief and panic are unavoidable.
Princess Baling knelt down in the inner hall, letting the princesses of Changle, Jinyang and several princes and concubines gather around her, busy helping her put on the newly sewn mourning clothes.
Fortunately, the peace talks have progressed rapidly in the past two days. The two sides have temporarily ceased fire and the situation has eased. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the several princesses and the concubines sent by the prince to show their concern to enter the princess's mansion. The desolation and coldness would be even more disturbing. The sadness is doubled...
Lord Baling asked his family to change his clothes and remove the pearls and jade jewelry on his head. He was in a daze and had not yet recovered from his confusion.
She really couldn't figure it out, how could Chai Lingwu go out and be shot dead on the spot?
Some people in the house said that Fang Jun suddenly killed her because Fang Jun had raped her as a princess. Chai Lingwu went to the ordinary family to ask for an explanation, which angered Fang Jun. Perhaps Fang Jun also had the purpose of killing Chai Lingwu to dominate her... But She knew it was pure nonsense.
He and Fang Jun were innocent, and Fang Jun had absolutely no reason to kill Chai Lingwu.
However, no matter what, Chai Lingwu is dead, and although he is a widow at a young age... No matter how much he feels resentful towards Chai Lingwu for forcing him to go to Fang Jun to beg for the title, after all, the couple still have feelings for each other, and suddenly The feeling of loss and confusion is really indescribable.
It took a long time before two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he started to cry.
Princess Changle on the side held her arm, lovingly gathered up the hair on her temples and tucked it behind her ears. She then took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and comforted her softly: "There is no resurrection after death. I am sorry and accept the change, sister." You still need to take care of your body.”
With tears rolling down her cheeks, Princess Baling looked at the two children in front of the hall who were being put into mourning clothes by servants. Although she was overwhelmed by the sad atmosphere in the house, her clear eyes were filled with confusion, and she did not realize that their father was no longer alive. Nor can he return.
Princess Jinyang also leaned on Princess Baling's shoulder and whispered: "There are rumors outside that my brother-in-law killed Chai Prince Consort. Sister Baling, you must not believe it. My brother-in-law is definitely not that cruel!"
"Yeah, I know."
Princess Baling wiped the corners of her eyes and replied softly.
"Huh?"
Her reply was so relaxed and natural that Princess Changle was stunned, and she asked closely: "Do you really believe it? It was said outside that you and Fang Jun... It was because of this that Fang Jun suddenly killed him."
Changle naturally didn't believe that Fang Jun would do such a cruel thing, but if Princess Baling really had an affair with Fang Jun, and Fang Jun clashed with Chai Lingwu, leading to the latter's violent death, at least it would make sense logically, but Ba Ling Why is Princess Ling so sure that Fang Jun will not be the murderer?
Heart to heart?
Passionate love affair?
Princess Baling raised her head with tears in her eyes, held Princess Changle's hand, and said softly: "Fang Jun and I are innocent and have no quarrel. How could Fang Jun have any reason to kill Chai Lingwu?"
"Oh."
Princess Changle felt relieved. Although she knew that she had no identity and no reason to restrain Fang Junzhi's behavior, she still felt uncomfortable when she heard rumors that he had an affair with Princess Baling. There are so many beauties in this world, why do you have to catch the Princess of the Tang Dynasty and ruin them all?
Now hearing Princess Baling's words, all the dissatisfaction was immediately swept away, replaced by deep anger - who was the one who suffered a thousand cuts, framed Erlang like this?
Princess Jinyang on the side came over and said seriously: "Now that Chai Consort is gone, doesn't Sister Baling happen to be in good terms with her brother-in-law?"
Princess Baling:......
Princess Changle:......
It is said that this girl has an extraordinary relationship with Fang Jun. She is indeed Fang Jun's caring little cotton-padded jacket. The other brother-in-law here just died, so he was busy pushing the newly widowed Wenjun's sister into Fang Jun's arms...( End of chapter)
