144.Chapter 144: A New Undercurrent

Li Hui once discussed with Wang Zixian, how could he quietly borrow the Yue Wangfu Courtyard to act wantonly? And then push the boat down the river to frame him?

One can spend a lot of money to buy the steward of another hospital. This move is naturally the easiest, but it is difficult to really frame the Yue Wang line. After all, it is the steward who accepts bribes, and the Yue Wangfu only has the fault of the royal majesty who is not strict, and it is very likely to defend himself. The second is to befriend the master in the palace of the king of Yue, and to have intimate contacts, leaving enough evidence to prevent them from turning over. In this way, just cutting off one arm - or even one finger - can make the Yue Wangfu crumble.

And the master of the Yue Wangfu, in addition to Li Heng, Wang, Li Wei, Li Jing, Xuancheng County Lord, Xin'an County Lord, there are still five or six concubines and concubines. Although the Wang family did not often bring these concubines out to socialize, they never treated them badly, and each of them was named the county king and the county lord. Whether this matter was done by the manager, or whether other children deceived and concealed it, judging from Li Heng's follow-up reaction, it is self-evident.

With the danger of the family overturning, Li Heng would naturally be extremely cautious and cautious, and it would never be possible to leave any evidence unfavorable to the Yue Palace. If there is an opportunity, Li Hui naturally hopes to know all the truth, so that he can more accurately judge the enemy's next move. But if he doesn't have a chance, he just wants to know the news of the enemy, and the matter of Yue Wangfu can be left to Li Heng to solve by himself, and he will never ask half a word more.

"Can you leave evidence like letters?" After pondering for a moment, Li Hui asked.

"It's already burned." Li Hengdao did not shy away from letting him know how much he had done. Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, as if he was extremely confused, and as if he suddenly realized.

"Is there anyone whose identity is questionable?" Li Hui asked again, "Dali Temple is currently investigating, who met with that examiner Wailang." "Even the people of the Yue Wangfu have met with Zhang Yuanwailang, but in fact, it is not the goal of the three divisions. They want to find the mastermind behind the scenes, not the victims who framed them. Of course, if the Yue Wangfu accidentally teaches people to take the handle, the holy will will be unpredictable in the future, and it will be the end of the whole family being overturned.

"At the moment, only two people can be found, and their identities can be told to you. However, after knowing that the rumors were wrong, they had already left Beijing under the pretext of excuse. Li Heng said, "With the guards of the Yue Wangfu, they want to hold them, but it is absolutely impossible to think about it." It's better to ...... Leave it to the third division, you shouldn't let me down, right? Xuan Qi? ”

"Out of Beijing?" Li Hui was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think of Huan He, who assassinated the abolished prince Li Song in order to avenge his father and brother's revenge - all the people who followed him back then were Lingnan people, and it was obvious that he had already run a huge force in Lingnan. Later, the imperial court also sent people to Lingnan to investigate and arrest him, but the people in the mountains and wilderness everywhere did not understand the language and customs, so he could not be found in the end. And in all these years, he has not been seen again.

"What is the second father referring to, Lingnan?" Could it be that this Huan He is making a comeback? Isn't his enemy Li Song? Even if you want to avenge your father, you should go to Jingzhou, why would you venture into Beijing to frame the Yue Wang's lineage? Or is he just following the arrangement of Princess An Xing? After being implicated in the heir snatching case back then, those resentful families were really used by Princess Anxing? And not just collaboration? At that time, what method did she use to gain the trust of this group of people who were full of resentment? β€”β€”Thinking about it, Li Hui always felt that there should be something hidden in it.

Li Heng also supervised the assassination case back then, so he naturally understood who he was referring to. However, he raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly: "It's not Lingnan, it's Hu Shang in the Western Regions." ”

"Hu Shang?" Li Hui was very surprised. According to the common sense of those cases that happened in the past, shouldn't this matter be related to the case of seizing the heir more than ten years ago? Even if Huan He entered Beijing, it was more reasonable than Hu Shang in the Western Regions. What's more, after checking Princess An Xing for so many years, they have never found that she has any close relationship with Hu Shang. Could it be that it wasn't her who shot this time, but someone else?!

"Let's check it carefully." Li Heng said meaningfully, "Xuan Qi, there may be more people who want to cross the palace and the Pu palace than you and I imagined. The people who have exhausted the organs are by no means only in Chang'an. It's not that we're doing anything wrong, it's just that our blood and status are blocking their way. Therefore, the slightest carelessness can lead to complete overturning. ”

"Yes, nephew understood." Li Hui's expression became extremely solemn, and he saluted him, "Thank you Second Father for your advice." ”

Li Heng also told him the names of the two Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and the mansions where he had settled in Chang'an for a short time. Other than that, he didn't mention it anymore: "As long as these two people can be arrested, you can probably guess who is behind the scenes." However, it is absolutely impossible to defeat them in one fell swoop with this incident. ”

"Second father, rest assured, my nephew will never act rashly." Li Hui then got up to say goodbye, and Li Jing hurriedly sent him out. The two cousins were silent all the way, each pondering. Until he was about to arrive at the gate of the mansion, Li Hui glanced at Li Jing, and suddenly felt that such a solemn expression was really not suitable for him.

So, he patted his cousin on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "After a while, we want to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to visit Master Xuanhui, do you want to go?" In the temple, you can't play ball, shoot and hunt, and you can't ride a horse and gallop. However, the peach and apricot groves of Ci'en Temple are also a bit famous, and you can enjoy the rare spring scenery by taking a walk in it. In addition, we can also offer incense and prayers for our grandparents and grandmothers. ”

If it was Li Jing in the past, he would have no interest in this matter. However, now he is smiling: "I haven't been to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple for a long time, and I happened to go with my cousin." Come to think of it, Yue Niang and Wan Niang will also go? How about I take Yu Niang (the county lord of Xuancheng) and Huanniang (the county lord of Xin'an) with me? Let's call the cousins and cousins of the Zhou family and the Qin family again? ”

"It's fine. It's been a while since we've seen each other in private, and I'm afraid we don't know what we're up to. Li Huidao inevitably told him, "Now that Cousin Qianli (Li Wei) is not in Beijing, you should also help the second father to take care of the affairs in the house." Suddenly, other forces coveted it in secret, and even he couldn't help but worry about his family in Luoyang, for fear that his brother would be negligent for a while and make something happen to his grandfather: "However, no matter what you see, you can't lose your heart." Jing Xing, you are still you, you don't have to be me, let alone someone else. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing slowly put away his smile and did not hide the confusion in his eyes: "Brother...... I...... I'm really having a bad time these days...... I always feel that the peace and joy of the past is like a dream - or perhaps, the unpredictable human heart is a nightmare now? Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his confused eyes still carried the familiar clarity and frankness: "If you are free when, how about I ask you to drink?" ”

"Okay, I'll be there at any time." Li Hui said with a smile, "I'm the only one in the palace of the King of Hengzhu, if you want to take a break, you can go there at any time to rest and spend the night." I will ask Mother Zhang to prepare a dormitory for you. At this time, the king of Xin'an completely forgot the fact that there was still a frequent visitor in his house. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, that regular customer is no longer a guest, but his own family.

When it was time for the two cousins to say goodbye, Li Jing suddenly whispered again: "After the Chinese New Year, the second brother suddenly became ill...... Grandpa sent him to the Taoist temple on the South Mountain to recuperate, saying that it was a pure ...... Nor are we allowed to visit as we please...... The second sister-in-law has also been detained in the house and cannot go out at will. Even the nieces and nephews are taken care of by their mothers. ”

The second brother he spoke of was the eldest cousin, and he was named the king of Guizheng County. This returning county king seems to be in poor health, living in a simple house all the year round, and it is said that he likes luxury and spends money like dirt. For this reason, he was often reprimanded by Li Heng, and Princess Yue and the Wang family were also quite displeased with him. Originally, when he got married, he should have lived in separate mansions, but because Li Heng insisted on not separating his family, he could only live in the Yue Wang's mansion with his family.

"I see." Li Hui was quite moved by his trust, but he couldn't help but press his head and said, "Without the permission of the second father, this kind of thing must not be said casually and known to others." If this person has malicious intentions towards the Yue Palace, you have brought disaster to your family. ”

"How can Brother be 'someone else'?" Li Jing hugged his head that had been rubbed by his hair, and looked at him with round eyes quite innocently, "Even if no one can tell sΓΉ the secret, I will definitely be able to tell my brother." Even if Grandpa knew, he would never blame me. Just because he can't say it doesn't mean I can't say it now? But don't worry, I know what you mean. I will never mention these things in front of Yue Niang. She knew it as her aunt knew it...... I can't tell if my uncle will think about it a little more...... I know how important this is. ”

"......" Li Hui was a little speechless for a while, "It seems that the second father and the second mother did not teach you in vain." ”

"I'd rather they teach me earlierβ€”or not at all." Li Jing sighed abruptly, "In this Chang'an City, I don't want to stay anymore...... It would be nice if you could be like the lobby brother (Li Xin) and the eldest brother (Li Wei) and avoid this place from afar. When my grandfather intended to let my grandfather go to the fiefdom, I shouldn't have been attached to the prosperity and liveliness of Chang'an City......"

"As long as you are still a royal descendant, no matter where you are, you cannot be a truly pure place." Li Hui said, "In the end, we can work together to overcome the difficulties, and we may be able to earn freedom in the future." ”

"Really?" The eyes of the King of Tianshui County lit up.

"Seriously." The King of Xin'an County curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of determination.

Almost at the same moment, in the hall of the two ceremonies, the saint smiled, looking at the head of the new branch that he had hand-picked, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, and the more he asked, the more surprised he became. Later, he even asked the young eunuch in the palace to bring all the palace maids down, leaving only the cronies who served by his side all the year round: "Aiqing is young, but she is well-informed, and it is indeed very rare." What's even more rare is what you have seen and experienced all over the territory of Datang. There are some things that you know even better than I do. ”

"Wechen also got the teachings of Mr. to be able to have today." Wang Zixian replied with a smile, "When traveling, Mr. always has many questions, and Weichen often can't answer them, so he looks around for answers. Over time, not only did I understand many local things, but I also had my own opinions and opinions when I encountered similar things. ”

"Oh? Looking at your strategy, it seems that it is also motivated? The saint raised an eyebrow.

The prince groaned slightly, and Fang replied: "Weichen once heard Mr. mention that during the first emperor's period, he wanted to follow the example of Zhou and Han, implement the division of feuds, and let the kings sit in the Quartet, but later it was gone. However, there still seem to be many people who talk about separation, thinking that it is the ancient system that the real sages admire, which can make the Tang Dynasty more stable. However, Wechen felt ...... The harm of separating is far greater than the benefit. This time, I saw that the literary scene of the Han Dynasty was mentioned in the volume of reading history, and there were Zhou, Han and Qin in the policy discussion, so I remembered this matter. ”

The saint narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "Aiqing really knows me." ”

"Wechen didn't dare to ......" Wang Zixian immediately bowed and saluted, "Wechen is only willing to be loyal to His Majesty and use it for His Majesty, and the rest of his wishes are enough." "Speculating on the will of the Divine is not a good name. What he wants to do is a sharp blade, a lonely minister who is loyal to the king, and can use his power to protect his beloved, that's all.
