Chapter 312: The Emperor Loses His Color
The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.
Wang Youren, the Duke of Wei, was sipping tea in the afternoon and watching the beautiful house trick play the pipa, and before the pipa was finished, his wife Wei Guo's wife Liu walked in angrily.
"Get down." Liu raised his eyebrows at the pipa girl, and the frightened trick hurriedly hugged the pipa and retreated.
Wang Youren put down the teacup, "Who made Mrs. so angry!" ”
Liu Qi snorted, "It's all this time, you still have the leisure to drink tea and listen to music here, the faces of Wang Liu's two families have been fanned!" ”
Wang Youren hugged his wife's shoulders and said with a smile, "How can it be as serious as you said, isn't it just a trivial matter, why worry about it." ”
Wang Youren is the father of the country and the current queen. At the same time, he is also the real head of the Taiyuan Wang family, and his uncle is Taizu's sister Princess Tong'an. At the beginning of Zhenguan, he was only a Luoshan County commander, because the eldest princess introduced his daughter to Taizong and promised to be married to King Zhi of Jin as a concubine, so he also prospered in official fortune.
Li Zhi succeeded to the throne as emperor, he first promoted the history of Chenzhou Thorn, and now he has advanced to the special advancement, and has been crowned the Duke of Wei. In Chang'an, I enjoy the leisurely and wealthy life of the national abbot, and how comfortable life is.
"Where is the trivial matter, the concubine just asked the queen to accompany her to see the emperor, and wanted to sell an old face to ask for a favor for Chaolang, but the emperor refused to even see him, and said that he wanted the concubine to discipline the children in the family more in the future. Now Chao'er and Shuang'er are both imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and you, an old immortal, are still listening to music here. ”
Although Wang Chao is not the son of Liu and Wang Youren, he is similar. Wang Youren gave birth to seven or eight daughters, none of whom had a son, so he passed a nephew from his brother to be his stepson, and Wang Chao was the heir of this step.
The heir is the heir who has the right to inherit, just like Yuan Shao in history, who passed on to his uncle, so the original son of a concubine became the son of the long house. Wang Chao was originally also the concubine of the second room, and he succeeded to the name of Wang Youren, so now he is actually the head of the long branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the future head of the Wang family.
And Liu Shuang called Liu his aunt.
Wang Youren frowned, "So serious? ”
Liu said hatefully, "I think the emperor is taking the opportunity to make trouble, the queen has not been favored in the palace for many years, there was a Xiao family, and now there is a Wu family." After my brother's death, our Wang Liu family did not have a family member who could support the queen. ”
In the past, under the operation of Liu Zheng, Li Zhong, the eldest son of the queen Baoshu, was the crown prince, so as to stabilize the throne. Liu Zheng helped to win over the elders of Gu Ming, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, to support the queen and the prince, but who expected that Liu Zheng died early, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others stepped down again, and now the queen is even more helpless in the harem.
The dignified queen can't even see the emperor, let alone be favored.
Now a small Tian She'er can bully the heads of their Wang Liu family, but the emperor is still partial to that Li Xiao.
Wang Youren was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head vigorously.
As the head of the Taiyuan Wang family and the head of the dynasty, he is not the kind of incompetent straw bag. After all, he is also a person who has done county orders and assassination history, and he has all kinds of means, and his experience is not bad.
My wife is right, it seems that things are really not that simple.
The emperor put his originally innocent stepson and nephew in the prison of Dali Temple, and the queen went to plead and couldn't see anyone, and was reprimanded by rumors, which revealed too much information.
"This Li Xiao!"
"What are you still stunned about, hurry up and find a way to rescue Chao'er and Shuang'er!" Liu said angrily.
Wang Youren shook his head and said, "This matter is not simple, don't look at our emperor's son-in-law is young, but he is very sophisticated, I am not sure that he will not make a move easily, just like when he dealt with the eldest grandson Wuji." If he wasn't sure, how could he put Chao'er and them in prison like this? There must be something inside to this! ”
········
Cui Zhiwen is the person who knows the inside story the most, and he is also the person who can't sit still.
He quietly made an appointment with Wang Youren, and the two met quietly outside the city.
"Guozhang, the matter is really urgent, and I have to ask you to meet you as a last resort. A few young people have made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and we have to help them, or else we ·······." Cui Zhiwen sighed and told Wang Youren what he knew.
Wang Youren's face turned pale in shock.
He never expected that such a serious matter would be.
"Does the Emperor know?"
"Maybe you know, you may not know, but the key is that the thirteen people who were sent to Dali Temple from the Yongzhou Yamen, they were directly caught in the Zhongweiqiao fire, they once loosened their mouths to Li Yuanfang, the deputy superintendent of corn, but in the Yongzhou Yamen, they were warned, so they all shut up again, but they may still loosen their mouths again." Cui Zhiwen said urgently.
Wang Youren's eyes showed a terrifying fierce light, which was the light of the cub's heart. Although Wang Chao is not his biological son, he is also his stepson, and he will inherit everything from him in the future. What's more, this is not only a matter of Wang Chao, but also a matter of the entire Wang family, and it is also related to her daughter Queen Wang.
The emperor has long had no feelings for the queen, and the queen has not been out for many years, and now Liu Zheng has died of illness, and the eldest grandson Wuji has stepped down, if the queen who has no support is involved at this time, it will definitely be difficult to protect the queen's position.
"You can't let them speak."
Damn Li Xiao, damn a few daring guys.
"What about the others who went to Zhongwei Bridge last night?" Wang Youren asked.
Cui Zhiwen said in a low voice, "A total of 100 people who went to Zhongwei Bridge to set fire last night were all outlaws recruited from the displaced people outside the city, except for the thirteen people who were caught, the remaining eighty-seven people were wiped out afterwards, all of them were buried, and people didn't know it." ”
"But there are still thirteen people who have been arrested, and they have been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and they may speak at any time." Wang Youren stared at Cui Zhiwen, "This matter must have been provoked by your son, Cui Zhongcheng, you have to be responsible." ”
Cui Zhiwen didn't know what his son was doing in it, but now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.
"You are the middle of the imperial history, those thirteen people are in the prison of Dali Temple, this case is now being tried by the three divisions, and Jin Wuwei will investigate, you will find a way to make those thirteen people never be able to open their mouths." Wang Youren said fiercely.
Now, it is no longer a question of ruthlessness or not, this has reached the point where the survival of the family is at stake.
Cui Zhiwen's face changed drastically, he knew what Wang Youren meant, and used his position as the middle of the imperial history, and took advantage of the fact that the imperial history platform was also involved in this case, and found a way to arrange for people to approach the thirteen people and kill them.
"A little poison in the food can make them never open their mouths."
The other eighty-seven have been silent forever, and if these thirteen can't say anything more, then the matter will end there, and it will not be possible to investigate.

South of Chang'an City, Chang'an Newspaper.
When the eldest princess of Lantian Tamase heard that Li Xiao was arrested in Dali Temple, she was not even surprised, it seemed that it was a normal thing for Li Xiao to enter the palace.
"I always feel that this kid's actions will cause trouble sooner or later, and I didn't expect something to happen so soon."
Tamase shook his head and sighed, putting down the brush in his hand.
The Chang'an newspaper has just been published, and the Chang'an paper is expensive, and at this time, it was supposed to take advantage of the situation to have a few more issues, but Li Xiao, the president, went in.
Even the printing office of Zhongwei Bridge was burned.
Without the printing bureau, the second issue of the Chang'an News would not have been printed.
"Why did you get in?"
"Beat Liu Shuang, Wang Chao, and Cui Zhan." It was Li Yuanfang who came to report the news, he knew that Li Xiao and the eldest princess had an unusual relationship, and Tamase went to see Li Xiao in prison last time. He hoped that the eldest princess would be able to help Li Xiao this time!
"Li Xiao is full, why are you messing with those people?"
"They are the people behind the Zhongwei Bridge arson case, and Saburo knows this."
Tamase pursed his lips, this is really in line with Li Xiao's style of acting, he can do anything, and anyone dares to fight. And with her understanding of Liu Shuang and the others, they may really do arson.
"Is there any evidence?"
"I arrested thirteen arsonists last night, and they recruited me at that time, but after sending them to Yongzhou Yamen, they retracted their confessions, and it is estimated that Liu Shuang sent someone to warn them."
"That is, if there is no evidence, then Li Xiao's beating will be untenable. By the way, how did you beat Liu Shuang and them, are they seriously injured? ”
Li Yuanfang said helplessly, "It's just that they beat their noses and faces are swollen, they are all skin injuries, and they are nothing." ”
"How is it nothing, these people, a county prince, a county, and one is also a seven-grade character, the three of them are either relatives of the emperor or five surnames, which one is easy to provoke, and Li Xiao just hit three at once, and his nose and face were swollen, this is really not afraid of big things."
"Please also ask the eldest princess to help mediate."
"Okay, I'll go into the palace now to face the saint and explain the inside story to the emperor, I hope Dali Temple can get the confession as soon as possible, otherwise Li Xiao will have a hard time."
This kind of thing can be big or small, and the key depends on who beats people and who they beat.
Li Xiao is a fourth-grade official, beating up the emperor's relatives and court officials on the street, each of them is bigger than the other, and his status is higher, isn't this unpleasant for himself, it is estimated that many people are now writing a note to impeach Li Xiao.
Tamase didn't dare to delay too much and hurried into the palace.
Li Zhi didn't see the queen or Mrs. Wei, but when he heard that the emperor's sister, the eldest princess of Lantian, asked to see him, he still did.
"Your Majesty, Li Xiao didn't do anything wrong, there is a reason why he beat people, Liu Shuang and they are the people behind the fire at the construction site of the Zhongweiqiao Printing Bureau last night." As soon as Tamase saw the emperor's brother, he immediately broke the news.
"I know." Li Zhi said lightly, "The Hundred Cavalry Division has heard the rumors, but now I need evidence, and without evidence, I can't indiscriminately offend Liu Shuang and them." ”
"Then please ask Your Majesty to let Dali Temple interrogate the prisoners quickly!"
"I have instructed Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Criminal Department to form a three-division trial, and they will be interrogated soon."
An attendant hurriedly arrived, "Your Majesty, Dali Temple Qing is in a hurry, just now, the thirteen Zhongweiqiao arson suspects who were imprisoned died violently in the prison, and all of them died!" ”
"What?"
Emperor Li Zhi, who originally thought that everything was under control, couldn't help but be shocked by the news and shouted angrily.
