Chapter 172: Revenge (3)
It is obvious that the prince is defending Li Siyu.
He didn't understand how the smart and clever woman on weekdays was stupid now, and actually started a battle for the throne in front of the emperor. He was afraid that his father would be angry and blame Li Siyu, so he immediately surrounded Li Siyu to exonerate. I hope that the emperor will see that Li Siyu has just lost her fiancé and forgive her for not knowing the severity.
However, Li Siyu did not accept his affection, she said: "The people's daughter thinks that this matter involves the struggle for imperial power, and there must be someone behind Ouyang Chengming who is planning this qiē." Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”
The emperor said, "Do you know what you are talking about?" "He is not angry.
Of course, Li Siyu knew what she was talking about, and she said: "The people's daughter is saying that the Cao family is a victim in the struggle for imperial power. ”
If you want to use one Ouyang Chengming to end the Cao family's affairs, don't think about it! She must pay the price for the people behind the scenes. Even if the emperor doesn't make decisions for her and avenge the Cao family, she will do it.
The emperor said: "She is worthy of the woman that the prince likes, and she really has a bit of courage." However, they all said that the red face was in trouble, although you didn't admit it, but the main culprit said that this incident was caused by you, and he went to frame the Cao family for you. ”
Li Siyu said: "Does the emperor believe what the so-called main culprit said?" ”
How cruel the struggle for imperial power is, the emperor should know better than her. Ouyang Chengming is just a chess piece in the hands of others, and she has also become the object of other people's calculations. She became the reason for others to attack the Cao family. Because she wants to marry Cao An, others want to put the Cao family to death. What kind of logic is this. It is clear that someone else wants to get rid of the Cao family and cut off King Heng's arm. That's why she destroyed the entire Cao family on the grounds of preventing her from marrying Cao An.
She hated this man. It's obvious that he is ambitious, but he detains the crime on others. Let others be charged with crimes for no reason. What's the trouble? It is clear that it is a thin life. Hongyan's life was taken away by those with ulterior motives.
Seeing that Li Siyu was not afraid at all, but calmly asked him, the emperor thought she was very good. I appreciate it very much in my heart. He naturally understood that there was someone behind Ouyang Chengming, but he didn't know who that person was. Because in addition to the crown prince, King Heng is also possible.
However, it is the crown prince who is more suspicious. Because everyone knows that the Cao family is close to King Heng, in other words, the Cao family is King Heng's right-hand man, and King Heng has too late to defend them. How is it possible to deliberately frame them? The fact that he rushed to Cao's house to rescue him that day illustrates the problem. Compared with King Heng, the crown prince is more suspicious. The crown prince knew that the Cao family was the power of King Heng, in order to weaken King Heng's strength. It's quite possible that he designed to do such a thing.
Moreover, the prince once asked Li Siyu for marriage on the street, but was rejected. The crown prince has a grudge against this, and it is possible that he planned to kill his fiancé's family. Of course, this argument is not as convincing as the power struggle.
The crown prince felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The emperor also seems to be suspicious of him. The emperor's purpose in calling her here today must be to give him some warnings.
When he understood that the emperor was targeting himself and not Li Siyu. The prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The emperor said: "Since you think that the demise of the Cao family is the result of a power struggle. Then you sue sù me, whose plot is this? ”
The prince was shocked, for fear that she would say something shocking. After all, the person who is questioning now is the emperor.
Li Siyu said: "The people's girl is just a woman, and she doesn't understand the power struggle, so she naturally can't see whose power it is." ”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she didn't talk about the government in vain. You must know that this struggle for imperial power is already related to the level of Jiangshan Sheji, and it is not something she can discuss.
In fact, Li Siyu didn't see it, but she felt that the emperor should have seen it. It doesn't matter if she says it or not.
"Are you really invisible, or are you pretending to be?" The emperor asked.
He seemed suspicious of her. That's right, she saved King Heng, was born and died with King Qi, was the prince's favorite person, and recognized Nangong Hao as her eldest brother. Such a woman is bound to be not simple.
Li Siyu said: "If the people can see whose plot it is." Naturally, he will not be allowed to succeed, and the Cao family will not suffer such a catastrophe. The people's daughter has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that the emperor can avenge my fiancé and the Cao family. ”
The emperor frowned, if this matter was really just Ouyang Chengming's doing, it would be fine. If there is a mastermind behind this matter, then this mastermind is likely to be one of his sons, if he avenges the Cao family, wouldn't he want to attack his son?
The emperor said: "Are you so sure that Ouyang Chengming did not do this alone?" ”
Li Siyu understood that the emperor wanted to defend his son.
She said: "The folk girl does think so. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think so too? ”
The implication of her words is that the crown prince thinks so, so she thinks so too. If the emperor has any opinions, please find the prince.
The emperor said: "I will naturally find out about this matter. He paused and said: "You lost your fiancé before you got on the sedan chair on the day you got married, Zheng took pity on you and wanted to give you a marriage, do you have any opinions?" ”
It turned out that the emperor came to her this time to give her a marriage. It seems that he felt that he had wronged the Cao family, was sorry for the Cao family, and was sorry for her, so he figured out that Guò gave her a marriage to compensate her and the Cao family.
No, the emperor should be afraid that there will be entanglements between her and the prince, so he wants to marry her off! Yes, it must be!
Before Li Siyu could answer, the prince said: "Back to my father, Miss Xiaoyu has just lost her fiancé, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give marriage at this time!" ”
The emperor's face sank, "I asked her, not you." ”
Li Siyu didn't quite understand what the emperor meant, if he really wanted to give her a marriage, a holy decree was enough, why did he have to ask her? Could it be that he was trying to test his attitude?
Li Siyu didn't answer and asked, "I don't know who the emperor wants to marry the people's daughter?" ”
I don't think I want to find someone to marry her!
The emperor said: "The Lin family and the Cao family were wronged together this time, and there is only one son left in the Lin family, Lin Xuan, and I have already let his son inherit his father's business and make him a general." You and his colleague are the victims of this incident, and I think it's fitting that you're together. What do you think? ”
It turned out to be Lin Xuan. The emperor is really good at picking people.
"No!" Prince Road. Then he felt that his words were a little abrupt, and he said, "Erchen thinks they are not suitable. ”
The emperor said: "Why is it not suitable?" ”
He thought it was good.
The prince thought for a while and said, "If the two of them are together, they will always remind them of the vain death of the Cao family and the Lin family, so Erchen thinks it is inappropriate." ”
The emperor ignored the crown prince, but asked Li Siyu, "What do you think?" ”
Li Siyu was naturally unwilling. Her marriage can only be decided by her, and she will never marry her just because the emperor wants her to marry Lin Xuan.
"Not really." Li Siyu said very bluntly.
The emperor said: "So you are dissatisfied with the marriage I pointed out to you?" ”
Li Siyu said: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven and represents the will of heaven. The women did not dare to be dissatisfied with the will of heaven. The folk girl just thinks that this marriage is not good. ”
Isn't this dissatisfaction with the marriage he arranged?
The crown prince has a headache, how can she talk like this in front of the emperor?
The crown prince looked at the emperor and wanted to see what he was thinking from his face, but he didn't see it. But the emperor didn't seem angry.
The emperor said: "Then why do you think this marriage is not good?" (To be continued.) )
