Chapter 1469: Li Zhi's Despair
The soldiers helped the soldiers to set up tents under the dam, boiled hot water to cook food, and beckoned the soldiers who had added a gap in the dam to take turns to eat.
Cheng Yanjin pulled Fang Jun to eat a simple meal alone in a barracks, made a pot of tea, and talked.
"Old man, do you still have questions about Yicang?" Cheng Yanjin felt that Fang Jun was a little delirious, so he asked.
"How so? It's just a little embarrassing, how do you say it...... The cub doesn't feel sorry for the farmer, probably this is the current situation, right? β
Fang Jun sneered, shook his head and sighed.
His Majesty Li Er is ambitious and hardworking, and he is dedicated to building the Tang Dynasty into an invincible empire, but his son is behind his back to engage in these stupid acts that shake the society and confuse the law......
"No, no, no, there's something wrong with that."
Cheng Yanjin put down the teacup and said seriously: "You can't look at the problem either/or, on the surface, it seems that the Wang family was instructed by His Royal Highness, and then united with the Wei family and other family valves to resell grain...... But who knows if someone will do their own thing under the banner of that Highness? The two of us are not outsiders, the old man and Ling Zun are also in the same breath, so they don't hide it, the eldest grandson and the old fox are insidious and cunning, and there may not be no of his handiwork. β
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Not really, right?" β
"Hehe, no? With the old man's understanding of the eldest grandson Yinren, there is nothing he dare not do! β
has been a colleague for decades, and Cheng Yanjin naturally has the right to evaluate the eldest grandson Wuji, and there are every reasons to prove that his words are very objective.
Fang Jun was silent.
If so...... That Chang'an City is now lively.

"Bang!"
The gate of the Zhao Guogong Mansion was kicked open, and under the guard of the guard, wearing a robe, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, strode into the courtyard in a brocade robe, his delicate face was shrouded in frost, and a pair of crystal eyes flashed, full of anger.
The doorman of Zhao Guogong's mansion was hiding from the rain in the gatehouse, and now it was nearly midnight and they were all sleepy, but they were frightened to wake up by the sound of kicking the door.
Who dares to go wild in the Zhao State Mansion?
When the disciples rushed out of the door with sticks in their hands, they saw His Royal Highness the King of Jin with a gloomy face, and they were all angry.
His Royal Highness King Pingsu Jin has great respect for the eldest grandson Wuji, why is he so rude today and kicked in the door without permission?
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin came late at night, I don't know if there is something ......"
Before Menzi's words fell, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, already had a gloomy face, and shouted categorically: "Zhao Guogong can be in the mansion?" Hurry up and bring this king to meet him! β
At this hour, the head of the house had already fallen asleep, and he was in such a hurry that he woke up the head of the house from the bed......
Although he was slandered in his heart, Menzi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Please go to the front hall to wait for Your Highness first, and the little one will go to ask the head of the family......"
Li Zhi snorted coldly and strode towards the front hall.
The janissaries behind him hurriedly followed closely with umbrellas, so that His Highness's robes would not be wet by the rain......
Entering the front hall, there was a maidservant serving fragrant tea, but Li Zhi kicked it over, and the tea cup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
The servant girl got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, terrified, not knowing what mistake she had made to make His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had always been kind and elegant, so annoyed. As a servant, if you provoke the dissatisfaction of the head of the family, it is a very serious matter, whether it is right or wrong, it is possible to be whipped and killed......
If it was placed in plain life, Li Zhi would certainly not embarrass an innocent servant, but he couldn't care about it when he was angry today, ignoring the servant's pleading, and sat on the chair with a cold face.
A steward hunched over and followed, and when he saw that the maidservant had upset His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he immediately ordered someone to drag her away and kill her with a cane......
Li Zhi didn't have the slightest pity for the jade now, and was full of anger, just waiting to see the eldest grandson Wuji and ask for an understanding!
The servants and maidservants of the Zhao State Mansion stood aside like cicadas, and the guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion stood left and right with their hands on the hilt of their swords, murderous!
The atmosphere in the lobby is depressing, and with the heavy rain outside, it is extremely frightening.
After waiting for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji came to Shi Shi......
Probably just woke up, the eldest grandson Wuji's round face was a little swollen, and he was sluggish, yawning and giving a perfunctory salute to Li Zhi, and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness came late at night, I don't know what important things to discuss with the old man?" β
didn't mention Li Zhi's angry kicking of the front door.
Seeing the innocent and unaware look on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi twitched his cheeks, and secretly cursed that he was indeed a "yin person......
Holding back the anger in his heart, Li Zhi returned the salute and asked with a calm face: "I came to find my uncle this time, and I really want to ask about something." The Wang family colluded with the gates without authorization, and resold all the grain in the Yicang in Guanzhong, Hedong and other places, but it was instructed by his uncle? β
Although he relies on his eldest grandson Wuji, he is not a person who is blinded by his ears and eyes, he was born in the palace and grew up in the palace, and his father still has his eyes and ears around him. Wang Jingqi was arrested overnight, and then Li Junxian entered the palace to report the case to his father, and Li Zhi had already received the news.
Especially after learning that the Wang family resold grain to the Goguryeo people, he almost didn't scare him to death......
My father was thinking about the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, and included a corner of Liaodong into the territory of the Tang Dynasty to achieve the grand plan and hegemony for thousands of years, but now some people are "investing in the enemy" 400,000 stone of grain...... This is the death penalty of treason with the enemy!
And it is a capital crime that hinders His Majesty Li Er's grand cause!
The Taiyuan Wang family is his father-in-law's family, and if something like this happens to the Wang family, anyone will think of him Li Zhi, does he want to entrust His Majesty Li Er, who was personally conquered by the imperial driver, to Liaodong by funding Goguryeo, and then make wind and rain in Guanzhong and put the prince in a situation from which he will never recover?
Otherwise, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to intervene in the middle and secretly come forward, no matter how big the face of the Wang family's Wei family is, it would be impossible to gather so many righteous warehouses and resell so much grain......
But Li Zhi knows his own affairs, he didn't do anything!
In addition to himself, the only one who can instruct the Wang family and the Wei family is the eldest grandson Wuji......
But why do you do that?
Isn't this to bring me to a point from which I will never recover?
As soon as I thought of my father's anger now...... Li Zhi trembled and his heart was broken!
The eldest grandson Wuji looked calm, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You have all withdrawn, and you have something to say to Your Highness." β
The servants and maidservants of the Zhao State Mansion rushed out, and the guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi groaned slightly, expecting that the eldest grandson Wuji would not be openly unfavorable to him, so he nodded.
The guards of the Jin Palace's palace also walked out, and only the two nephews and uncles were left in the hall.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat opposite Li Zhi and sighed: "This matter is indeed manipulated by the old man...... However, the old man was all for the sake of His Highness, but he never expected that the secret would be leaked so quickly...... The two boys of the Wang family are really rice buckets, and they have ruined the old man's big deal! β
When Li Zhi saw the eldest grandson Wuji admit it, he was immediately furious, Huo Ran got up and said angrily: "Uncle can be like this? The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is the lifelong belief of my father, whoever destroys the Eastern Expedition is a rebellious minister and thief, my uncle does this, is it possible that he wants to see his father and the emperor split me alive? β
The eldest grandson Wuji looked remorseful, and said regretfully: "The old man really didn't expect the Wang brothers to be so stupid...... But rest assured, Your Highness, with Your Majesty's favor for you, how could it harm your life? β
Li Zhi sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and said with a miserable smile: "Hehe, it is true that it will not harm my life, but the position of the prince can no longer be thought of, and I can't say it...... My father will imprison me, and I won't want to get out of the Taiji Palace for the rest of my life......"
Although he was young, he had great ambitions, and he always believed that if he became the emperor, he would definitely do better than the weak prince.
However, now that the eldest grandson Wuji has done this, it is equivalent to directly cutting off his path to becoming a prince......
No matter how doting on him his father was, it was impossible for him to let him destroy the plan of the Eastern Crusade and hand over the position of prince to him.
The eldest grandson Wuji was full of shame and looked defeated: "It's all because the old man is too radical...... It's just that the matter has come to this point, what can I do in vain? β
Yes, it's come to this, what can I do?
Li Zhi's anger was swept away in an instant, and it was replaced by endless loss and grievances......
Thinking of the insidious and cunning eldest grandson Wuji, how could he actually do such a stupid thing? If it weren't for the fact that he had always been close to the eldest grandson Wuji, and the two of them were now in an alliance state, both of which were prosperous and lossy, he wondered if this uncle was a fine work sent by the prince's elder brother to his side......
Li Zhi let out a long sigh and walked out of the lobby in despair, ignoring the call of the eldest grandson Wuji behind him.
After dawn, what awaits him must be an edict, and his father will imprison him to death......
It's just a pity that his ambition has not yet set sail, and he hit the reef and sink.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the chair and saw Li Zhi's figure disappear into the rain curtain at the door, and the look of remorse on his face disappeared without a trace, replacing it with a cold face.
After touching the teapot and still having residual warmth, he lifted it and poured a cup, put it to his lips and took a sip lightly, and slowly exhaled.
NaΓ―ve child, do you still think that your father will hand over the throne to you?
To do extraordinary things, it is natural to use extraordinary means!
It's not that your uncle harmed you, but if it weren't for the fact that he cut off your hope and pushed you to a dead end, how could you be desperate and indomitable when you get hope in the future......
