Chapter 289, life-saving marriage

Changsheng looked at Mingjing in puzzlement, could it be that the reason was inconvenient for him to know?

Mingjing was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "This time the eldest brother was pardoned, mainly because of the merit of King Huai'an, and it was his plea in front of the emperor, so the emperor not only pardoned him, but also planned to use him again, King Huai'an's face is not ordinary." ”

King Huai'an? Li Shentong, the father of the county lord of Anyang?

Changsheng has seen him from afar in the palace, he is the most beloved and most important younger brother of Emperor Li Yuan, and the most respected and closest uncle of the current emperor Li Shimin, and he is a celebrity in the hands of two generations of kings.

I heard that Li Shentong was extremely far-sighted, and in the most difficult days when Li Shimin was suppressed and excluded by his father and brother, he was the only one in the entire Li royal family who unswervingly supported Li Shimin, and once scolded Li Yuan's refusal to reason in the court and did not hesitate to turn his face with Li Yuan, and once scolded the abolished prince Li Jiancheng for persecuting his own brother, and it was precisely because of his strong opposition that Li Shimin's strength was not so badly slashed.

Changsheng saw with his own eyes that at a private banquet, because Yuwen Zhaoyi participated, she also went, and at that time, Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin's wine, and it was Li Shentong who rescued him in time, and Li Shimin left a life. I heard that since then, whenever Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji set up a banquet, Li Shentong always let Li Shimin drink after tasting the wine, and he was not afraid of Li Jiancheng's resentment towards him, and he swore to protect Li Shimin to the death, and because of this, Li Shimin escaped several disasters.

Thinking that Li Shimin is done, of course Li Shentong is unmatched, if he can ask for a favor in front of Li Shimin for Mingche, can Li Shimin not fall into this favor? Because he put Mingche in prison for so long and didn't kill him, he had the intention of pardoning him, but no one else dared to take the initiative to intercede for Mingche with this tiger beard, only Li Shentong not only found out Li Shimin's true thoughts, but his face was not ordinarily big.

Under the moonlight, Changsheng smiled, I really didn't expect that it was Li Shentong who saved Mingche.

Mingjing said again: "Do you know, after I escaped from the Xie family, I didn't dare to go to you, and I didn't dare to take refuge in my friends, but fortunately, I still had some friends' gifts of silver to entangle, so I went directly to Jinyang, I think my eldest brother's friends are there, it should be easier to find someone who is willing to intercede for my eldest brother." I have the same opinion as you, for so long, the emperor has kept his eldest brother's life, and he still wants to forgive him from the bottom of his heart, but he can't swallow this breath, after all, being betrayed by the person he trusts the most, anyone will be extremely resentful, so I think if someone trusted by the emperor is willing to intercede for the eldest brother, maybe he will let him go."

Changsheng nodded: "Yes, the deepest hurt generally comes from the most trusted and dearest people. I also understand, but I also understand the uncle's helplessness, he is not greedy for life and fear of death or greedy for wealth and wealth to step on two boats, he just wants to protect the people he cares about the most, and he doesn't want his relatives to be sacrificed in the royal struggle for power and profit, in fact, no one is wrong with the uncle and the emperor. ”

Mingjing said excitedly when he heard this: "You don't have a big brother who is prejudiced? Didn't think he was an ungrateful traitor and disloyal? ”

Changsheng was a little surprised and said, "Why should I be prejudiced against the uncle? He didn't do anything heinous, did he? He just gave the prince an empty promise, no one is an immortal who can predict the final result of the dispute between the prince and the king of Qin, the uncle is just a general, while remembering that he is a father, he also has a daughter and the Xie family behind him, he wants to protect his family, there is nothing wrong"

"Thank you Changsheng really thank you for making me pause, I understand, no matter how unfaithful and unrighteous the eldest brother is in the eyes of others, he is also there to protect us, I can't have any prejudice against him, but I have to respect him more because of the sacrifices he made for this family"

Mingjing said, stepped forward and held Changsheng's hand tightly, but Changsheng quietly withdrew his hand, as if he had just remembered something, and said, "Hey, don't you want to tell me about your trip to Jinyang?" Come on, why did the emperor pardon the uncle? ”

Mingjing was a little frustrated, and when he saw the appearance of Changsheng, he was soon happy again: "After I went to Jinyang, I found some people who were old friends with the eldest brother and the emperor, although they were very sympathetic to the eldest brother's experience, but they all said that the emperor was angry, no one dared to touch the moldy head, and some were better, leaving me to live temporarily and giving me gold and silver to let me go around for the eldest brother, most people sent me away in two or three sentences, so that I knew for the first time what the world is hot and cold, I had no choice but to rush back to Chang'an, but there was still no way to ask for help, even if I wanted to see the eldest brother, No one dares to take the money, I'm almost desperate."

Changsheng asked puzzledly: "Then how did you know that King Huai'an could save the uncle?" And how did you get King Huai'an to agree to save the uncle? ”

Mingjing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't know how my eldest brother was rescued at the time, when I was desperate, I went around the prison every day to see if I could find an opportunity, but I accidentally ran into my eldest brother being released, and then I learned that it was King Huai'an's request." ”

Changsheng was even more puzzled: "Isn't it the King of Huai'an you are looking for?" Then how could the king of Huai'an take the initiative to intercede? Did they have a deep friendship before? ”

"Yes, because they were both trusted by King Qin in the past, King Huai'an had a good relationship with his eldest brother, so the county lord of Anyang would come to our house casually."

Referring to the county lord of Anyang, Changsheng remembered Anyang's inexplicable hostility towards him before, and suddenly felt that this matter was not so simple, an idea was about to come out but could not be sure, because Mingche was such an arrogant person, and it seemed that no one could see it except his deceased wife, how could he easily compromise?

deliberately asked: "Although the king of Huai'an has a deep friendship with the uncle, but no one takes the initiative to ask him to intercede with the emperor, is he still asking for trouble?" If the emperor didn't mean to pardon the uncle, wouldn't he be bored with himself? ”

Mingjing stared at Changsheng's bright eyes and said helplessly, "You've already guessed it, right?" It was the lord of Anyang who forced the king of Huai'an to do it, she was the only daughter of the king of Huai'an, and the king and his wife of Huai'an doted on her very much, and everything was up to her."

Changsheng finally understood the reason, but remembering Anyang's previous hostility towards himself and his hypocrisy towards Jinshu, as well as his unbeatable appearance, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and it would not be so comfortable to be with such a person every day in the future. He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "The county lord and uncle of Anyang?" How is this possible? Is she familiar with her uncle? ”

Mingjing nodded: "Yes, Anyang used to like the eldest brother, but the eldest brother has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the family affair has been dragging on, this time she probably saw hope, right, she asked someone to see the eldest brother in prison, and said that as long as the eldest brother agreed to marry her, she asked her father to intercede with the eldest brother and let him out, and the eldest brother agreed, and this is the way it is." Do you think Big Brother is spineless? Do not hesitate to sell yourself for the sake of glory and wealth? Don't think so, big brother is not that kind of person."
