Chapter 420: People don't destroy heaven and earth for their own sake
After listening to Gu Jianglin's words, Xu Buzhi also looked pensive.
According to Gu Jianglin's statement, tonight's incident is very likely not to be done by Gu Xizhou, but rather to be deliberately sowing discord among them.
"Is it possible that someone deliberately wants to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Six Princes turn against each other?"
Xu Buzhi analyzed the possibility of the whole thing with a serious face, and the three big men discussed this matter with a word by word.
After a long day of discussion, there were still two conclusions.
Qi Lichen couldn't accept this unknown incident, he would definitely try his best to investigate it clearly, but he had to be careful and careful in his actions. After all, if he is targeted by the emperor, then Gu Jianglin will use the position of the crown prince to protect himself, and I am afraid it will be useless.
"What Brother Xu said is not unreasonable, but there is only one answer, let's stick to one statement. Which one do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to hope for more? ”
Qi Lichen can still laugh at this juncture, Xu Zhizhi and Gu Jianglin both admire him a little, and his heart is really big.
If you have been with Xi Duyun for a long time, your heart will naturally grow.
"Brother Qi really likes to joke, didn't you say that you won't get drunk tonight, come on, have a drink." Gu Jianglin picked up the peach blossom brew on the table with a helpless face.
How could this peach blossom brew be drunk, Qi Lichen looked at Gu Jianglin with a puzzled expression.
Why did Gu Jianglin become like this, Qi Lichen knew that when he couldn't say anything, his words were in the wine.
"Come on, serve wine, keep drinking peach blossom brew, I guess I won't get drunk in the next life."
Qi Lichen instructed Xiao Er to bring the wine up, he wanted to drink with Gu Jianglin, not to drink any peach blossom brew.
Seeing this, Xu didn't know that Qi Lichen was also messing around with Gu Jianglin, so he stepped forward to stop it, "Brother Qi, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't get drunk, we still have some things to deal with." ”
Xu didn't know that he had a headache, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had so many things to investigate, how could he still be in the mood to buy drunk here.
Don't you still care about the six princes, the six princes don't care about brotherhood at all, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to take care of brotherhood now, after all, people don't kill for themselves.
"It's okay, there's nothing to deal with, I'm going to drink now, Brother Qi, if you can promise to stay, I'm happy, so naturally I want to celebrate in the form of drinking."
Gu Jianglin tried his best to make the expression on his face smile, as a friend of life and death, how could he not see his thoughts.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the affairs of the six princes in his heart, and he thinks that in fact, there is no need to be like this, what did the six princes do. It doesn't mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to pay for him, he is an adult, and he should pay the price for what he did. ”
Xu Buzhi said to Gu Jianglin with a serious face, blindly showing mercy to his subordinates is definitely a fatal weakness for Gu Jianglin.
That is, Gu Xizhou grasped the point that Gu Jianglin would take into account brotherhood, which is why he was so unscrupulous to do so many hurtful things.
Today, the six princes assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unsuccessfully, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sends someone to kill the six princes in the future, then this matter is in front of the emperor, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince of the five princes will not only not be able to be saved, but even his life will be worried.
"I know what you said, it's just that my father doesn't like to see our two brothers kill each other, and my father only has two of us."
Gu Jianglin is for his father, since ancient times, filial piety comes first, if he can't even do the most basic filial piety, then how will he govern the world in the future.
Xu Zhizhi and Qi Lichen glanced at each other, and then stood up tacitly, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink this wine tonight.
……
The fate of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Cheng Xiao quietly reviewed the trivial matters in the house in the study, and after he dealt with the matter at hand.
Looking out the window, the person he sent was going to assassinate the prince tonight, and he didn't know if the plan had succeeded.
Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or fails, the responsibility cannot be blamed on him, anyway, there are six princes to blame.
The sixth prince is the emperor's favorite prince, no matter what he does, I believe that the emperor will not really kill the six princes.
It is precisely knowing this that Cheng Xiao will do things so without exhausting his strength.
"Report ~ Prime Minister Qiqi, none of the killers we sent came back."
A spy knelt in front of Cheng Xiao dressed in black, they were incompetent, they failed to kill His Royal Highness the Prince, this mission failed, and they were the ones who died.
"What? It's really a bunch of waste, how did Ben Xiang raise such a bunch of waste like you, the plan is so thorough, Ben Xiang deliberately found out that the prince will be alone tonight, you missed such a good opportunity, it's really an unforgivable sin......"
Cheng Xiao's whole body was about to explode, and he didn't expect that such a perfect plan would fail.
If the emperor knows about this matter, or the prince asks the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly, then sooner or later this matter will be found out by the emperor.
As soon as she thought of the consequences of this incident, Cheng Xiao was angry.
The spy lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Cheng Xiao, for fear that Cheng Xiao would be unhappy and kill him now.
"Prime Minister, please give your subordinates a chance to make amends." The spy knelt down on one knee in front of Cheng Xiao, hoping that Cheng Xiao could give him another chance.
What's more, there are Qi Lichen in this mission, and there are also people from the capital guard, the people from the capital guard are obviously so far away from the place where the prince assassinated, how did they arrive in such a short time, this problem has been bothering the spies for a long time.
"Do you think you still have a chance to live? This is a sign that if a plan fails, someone always needs to come forward and bear the consequences. Cheng Xiao's face was angry, if no one took on this matter, it would not only affect the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also involve so many people behind it.
At that time, all the forces of the six princes in the court were uprooted, and the final winner was Gu Jianglin, the fifth prince.
Let Gu Jianglin become the emperor, isn't that equivalent to letting Qi Lichen get a higher position and higher glory.
No matter what, Cheng Xiao would never let such a thing happen.
The spy looked helpless, in the end, the prime minister still refused to let him go, it seems that this time he will definitely die.
"Since the Prime Minister has already talked about this, then his subordinates will take the first step." After the spy finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his pocket, and if he failed in his mission, he naturally wanted to kill himself in front of the prime minister.
Cheng Xiao thought about it, he still had one more thing that he needed spies to do, and the reason why this matter failed was because of Qi Lichen, and he couldn't blame the spies.
"Wait, don't die yet, it's still useful to spare your life, you remember, the reason why this appearance spared your life is because you are lucky, you can't die yet."
Cheng Xiao's face was disgusted, it was useless for the spy to die in front of him now, rather than this, it was better to give him a chance to make up for his merits.
The dagger in the spout's hand paused, and he really didn't know what the prime minister meant by this.
Just now, he looked like he had to die, but now he has to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
I just don't know what kind of opportunity the Prime Minister wants to give him.
"My lord, please say, if your subordinates can do it, they will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire." The spy arched his hand at Cheng Xiao, his current life is the Prime Minister's, even if the Prime Minister lets him die, he can't complain.
