Chapter 160: Scheming and Coquettish
Just when Li Yuan was standing still, trying to entrap Qin Qiong to capture Di Yun and the others in the Spring and Autumn Period, the palace was also arguing about this matter.
Hanyuan hall, the right side hall.
The crown prince Li Chengqian sat on the main seat, frowning and inspecting the only four remaining civil and military officials in the hall, everyone looked at the appearance of their mouths and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and they were angry, and finally locked on Wei Zheng and said: "What does Wei think about Wang Langjun's suspicion of usurping the throne?" ”
"Qi Song Prince, the minister has not found any evidence that Wang Langjun is involved in the usurpation of the dynasty, which shows that the officials who participated in Wang Langjun's plot to usurp the throne have ulterior motives, and I hope the prince will make a clear decision!"
Wei Zheng stood on the left, bowed and clasped his fists and saluted back, disdainful in his heart, can't the prince wait to take the throne?
I wanted to think about it, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly, and he couldn't reveal any sensitive topics about imperial power and the Book of Heaven.
Because the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and he is in the whirlpool of the court, and the slightest carelessness will end up in ruin, so he has reined in his past edge since he returned from Longyi Village.
It's not that he can't change the character of not allowing sand in his eyes, but out of loyalty to the emperor, he just wants to be a bystander.
Besides, with the emperor's will, he aimed to find out the mission of stealing the holy decree from the harem, assisting the foreign thieves and cholera court, and plotting the usurper of the dynasty.
And the traitors lurking in the harem will continue to haunt him, and he will not let go of the great opportunity for the emperor to travel to open the inheritance of the Book of Heaven, disrupt the court, and seek to usurp the throne.
This threat is more urgent than dealing with the chaotic situation.
Maybe there will be a war caused by the traitors in the palace, and it can't be sloppy.
Therefore, he took it as his mission to find out the traitor in the harem and save Li Tang Jiangshan, and devoted himself to the secret visit to find the traitor.
It's a pity that the harem is not a place where he can come and go at will, and he can't enter the harem to cause a peachy scandal and implicate the fate of the family.
This made him anxious, and his search for the traitor was repeatedly blocked, and his heart was broken, and there was no progress, and he was helpless.
His mission, the prince knew well, never asked, seeing him say good things for Wang Langjun, he retorted angrily: "Wei Xiangyan is exaggerated, right?"
According to the secret agent's report, Wang Langjun became a traitor, as early as when the secret agent found out that he sent people into Chang'an City to buy materials and recruit people, he exchanged the people he found for the people under his command, what did he want to do?
Not to mention that everyone under his command is murderous, and his elite quality is better than that of the Praetorian Guard.
But these people mysteriously disappeared from the sight of the secret agents, they must not have bad intentions, what are they plotting?
Besides, he assisted his father to open the inheritance cave and has not heard from him so far, which is inconsistent with the fact that Cheng Yanjin took away more than a dozen carrier pigeons when he led the soldiers to rescue his father last time, and there is no response from carrier pigeons, what is the reason?
And these signs are inseparable from Wang Langjun, but his suspicion of plotting to usurp the throne was completely wiped out by Wei Xiang.
It seems that Wei Xiang doesn't want to say it, so please talk about it, right? ”
Wei Zheng smiled dumbly, shook his head and stepped aside.
This frightened Fang Xuanling, what are you doing with me?
It's obvious that you, the crown prince, are delusional about the throne and want to go crazy, but it is really fatal for me, a close minister of the emperor, to stand up to the thunder and subdue other officials!
Is this forcing me to take sides?
If you really want to stand in the team of the crown prince, then you will be involved and move your whole body, maybe you will be dealt with after the emperor's return, and you will find death!
Forming a party for personal gain has always been a taboo matter for the emperor, or not!
No, no, it's all to blame Wang Langjun's kid for implicating this play, so let's act.
Fang Xuanling kept thinking about it, and after a little calculation, Qi Qiran saluted and reported: "Prince Mingjian, the minister has been checking the problems left by the floods in Yangzhou, and he is very busy, so he ......"
"Okay, since you two have the mission assigned by your father, and General Wei Chi is sitting in Chang'an City, and you are busy with official business, you all go and get busy!"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth with hatred, waved his hand and said to them, these old stubborn ones will one day make you regret your life.
Wei Zheng and the three of them retired and walked out of the side hall one after another, leaving the eldest grandson Wuji and the crown prince in the palace, ignoring them.
The three of them left, and Li Chengqian was just about to speak, but the eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in saluting and said: "The prince is anxious, have you ever considered the consequences?" ”
Not many words, but to the point.
This is also a matter of attitude, a disguised refusal.
Obviously, he was left behind by the crown prince, and this alone makes people speculate about what he and the prince are planning, and they can't tell what they can't tell.
But this is the result that Li Chengqian wanted, seeing that this uncle was angry, he said with a smile: "Uncle thinks too much.
You also know the situation of Prince Ben, as soon as he has to face a counterattack from Li Tai's younger brother, he will try his best to attack Prince Ben, and it is normal to create chaos and frame Prince Ben.
Second, if Li Tai sends someone to assassinate the emperor, no matter what the safety of the emperor is, he will be branded with the crime of plotting to usurp the throne and planting the blame on the prince, there is no way to refute it.
Third, it is the duty of the crown prince to protect his father's throne, but the emperor and Wang Langjun went to open the inheritance cave together, and there was no news, which would make people seize the opportunity to seek the throne.
And the theft of the jade seal, involving Wang Langjun's people, plus the fact that there are spies in the palace to do internal response, has a great help to the people who are plotting to usurp the throne, and they have to be guarded against!
Fourth, whatever the motives of the spies and what are Wang Langjun's intentions? They are all paving the way and building bridges for the Emperor Taishang, and they are directly in danger to the throne.
You must know that the Emperor Taishang has been unwilling to lose the throne so far, will the Emperor Taishang give up this opportunity to regain the treasure?
What's more, the emperor still has many sons, and the youngest imperial uncle is still breastfeeding?
These imperial uncles could not guarantee that they would not be put on the throne by the Emperor Taishang.
To sum up, pushing Prince Ben into an embarrassing situation, what does Uncle think Prince Ben should do? ”
This is the big truth, and he is not fake.
just ignored the speculation that the emperor died and the ministers had no leader.
Because once the emperor died, the civil and military officials loyal to the emperor had to stand in line for the sake of the family and turn to one side to survive, so time was running out.
This is the emperor and Wang Langjun opened the inheritance cave mansion, and so far there is no speculation or chain reaction caused by news.
After all, the people who have peeped into the Book of Heaven throughout the ages have died, no matter how high the martial arts are and how high the resourcefulness is, none of the people who infiltrated the Infinite Mountain died well.
This makes people suspect the reality of the emperor's death, and don't think about it.
Therefore, Li Chengqian was anxious, and out of preparation, he besieged the Qin Mansion, while controlling the people related to Wang Langjun, and at the same time trying to win over civil and military officials to protect their rights and interests, so as to facilitate their ascendancy.
In response to these problems, the eldest grandson Wuji knew well, but he couldn't accept the reality of the emperor's death in his heart.
Just because he moved his whole body with a single hair, the slightest carelessness would kill the entire family, and he didn't dare to bet easily.
In desperation, he stared at the prince solemnly and advised: "Prince, you have to understand one thing, the emperor is far-sighted, and he has already laid out his pockets and waited for us to drill in."
Just because I was left in Chang'an City by the emperor to assist the prince in governing the world can explain a lot of problems, this is a temptation.
Besides, the emperor let Niu Dajin sit in the palace, and no one could shake his authority.
In addition, Wei Chirong led the soldiers of the three armies to guard Chang'an City.
The two of them worked together to defend the emperor, secretly monitoring our every move, and hoped that the prince would think twice before acting! ”
Taking retreat as advance, this is a chess game laid out by the emperor.
Li Chengqian was like a dream, he broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If this prince helps Wang Langjun and lets him die in the inheritance cave, he will be ......."
"The prince is cautious in his words and deeds, and the minister retires!"
The eldest grandson Wuji opened a pair of bull's eyes in shock, and retreated in a hurry, crazy, crazy, the world is going to be chaotic......
