Chapter 443: The Prince Rebelled?
Although Wang Xiang has been deliberately keeping a low profile, the matter of cooperating with the Sanqi base for shallow sea hunting spread quickly.
Many large survivor bases have sent people to discuss cooperation, but Wang Xiang refused, with the cooperation of the Sanqi base, there is no need for him to cooperate with other bases, even if the cooperation is only a plain harvest.
After the trade market and the hunting party stabilized, Wang Xiang returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Shun and Xiao Lori were still in Xunzhou, and they hadn't been to see them for several days.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiang went into the palace to see Li Er, brought him a few colorful spars, and told him about the shallow sea hunting in the last days.
Li Er was very happy after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let King Zhao stay in that world for the time being, the people I sent out have gained very little recently." ”
After chatting for a while, Li Er suddenly asked, "How is the research on the matter of transplanting spars?" ”
Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "There is not much progress, after all, our research institute has only been established for a long time, but with a sufficient supply of spars, I think there will be progress soon." ”
"That's good."
Seeing that Li Er's face was not very good, Wang Xiang wondered: "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
Li Er hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and said, "It's a matter of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi King Party." ”
"Jiancheng Party and Qi Wang Party?" Wang Xiang frowned.
The matter of Xuanwumen was buried in Li Ershen's heart, and his feelings for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were also very complicated, he never talked about these things to others, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to mention this matter in front of him, Wang Xiang didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk to himself about it today.
"The events of the year have passed. However, there are still many remnants of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party. At the beginning, I thought of brotherhood and did not send people to kill them. Over the years, they have secretly fought against me everywhere, and I have endured it, but I didn't expect them to become more and more rampant. Saying this, Li Er slapped the table fiercely, obviously angry in his heart.
Wang Xiang cautiously asked, "What did they do to make Your Majesty so angry?" ”
Li Er snorted angrily and said: "Over the years, there has been a lot of collusion between the people of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi King Party and the Turks, and they have provided the Turks with salt and iron and other materials through Sinong Temple many times, in an attempt to unite the Turks against me!" ”
Wang Xiang nodded and didn't speak, he and Li Er already knew about this, and there must be other things that would make Li Er so angry.
"A few days ago, the people of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party went around bewitching the people. It is said that the descendants of the prince are still there, and he is also protected by God to get an immortal body, he is the true son of heaven! ”
Wang Xiang understood it, it turned out that the people of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party got a capable person to come out and question the legitimacy of Li Er's throne, although Li Er was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was an ordinary person, and he couldn't help but feel pressure, so he was so angry.
"Is it true that the descendants of the crown prince were built?" Wang Xiang asked cautiously.
Li Er snorted lightly and said, "Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have no queen. ”
Wang Xiang sweated in his heart, he believed that Li Er would never be merciful in this kind of thing, although he did not kill all the people of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party at the beginning, but he would definitely not let go of the bloodline of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
"In that case, why should Your Majesty worry. Just send someone to arrest the person who spreads the rumor. ”
Li Er sighed and said: "It's no wonder that I have been soft on them repeatedly, who knows that they have secretly accumulated a lot of power." ”
Even Li Er was a little jealous. It seems that the power accumulated by the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party is indeed not simple, Wang Xiang was about to ask how powerful their power is, Li Er had already shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's talk about this matter later, you go and see the prince first." ”
Prince? Wang Xiang looked puzzled, Li Er's words were too jumpy, he was talking about the matter of the Jiancheng Party and the Qi Wang Party, why did he suddenly jump to the crown prince?
"What's wrong with the prince?"
A hint of pain flashed in Li Er's eyes, he shook his head and didn't speak, and his whole person seemed to have aged a lot.
Seeing that Li Er had no interest in speaking, Wang Xiang said goodbye and left, and when he came out of the Taiji Hall, he saw Chen Gui standing respectfully at the door, so he pulled him over and asked in a low voice: "Gonggong Chen, what's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Hearing Wang Xiang ask about this, Chen Gui looked nervous, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't be embarrassed, Master Hou should go and see this matter himself." After speaking, he bowed his head and ran into the Taiji Palace, and Wang Xiang was even more puzzled when he saw his reaction.
It's been a long time since I've been to the Prince's Mansion to see it. Wang Xiang shook his head and walked in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, he went there once last time when Li Chengqian married Princess Danqier of the Turks, and he didn't go there since, but he didn't expect that not long after the wedding, the Turks first raised troops to commit Tang, and then the Turks were completely wiped out, and I don't know what happened to that Princess Danqier.
When he came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Wang Xiang was dumbfounded, and the outside of the mansion was full of heavily armed soldiers, not the guards of the Prince's Mansion, but the forbidden army of the palace.
Why did the palace forbidden army run over to guard the prince's mansion? Look at them as they are, indeed, guards, not guards.
The commander of the forbidden army led by him obviously knew Wang Xiang, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, as the commander of the forbidden army of the palace, Du Xiong naturally knew Wang Xiang's status in Li Er's heart very well, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.
Wang Xiang waved his hand and asked, "Why didn't you guard the palace instead, but ran to the prince's mansion?" ”
Du Xiong hesitated for a moment and whispered, "We are here to guard the Prince's Mansion on the orders of His Majesty. ”
"Guarding the Prince's Mansion?" Wang Xiang frowned, it seemed that things were really not simple, "Why did Your Majesty let you come to guard the Prince's Mansion?" ”
"This ......" Du Xiong asked in a low voice, "Master Hou doesn't know?" ”
Would I have to ask you if I knew? Wang Xiang wondered in his heart.
Du Xiong saw that Wang Xiang didn't seem to know, and although he felt strange, he still explained in a low voice: "The prince is in trouble." ”
"What's the matter? Could it be that he is acting perversely and disobeying discipline again? ”
Du Xiong shook his head and said: "If this is the case, Your Majesty doesn't need to let our forbidden army come over to guard the prince's mansion, let's tell you the truth, the prince has caused a big problem this time." ”
Wang Xiang's heart suddenly burst into his heart when he heard this, and blurted out: "What a big thing, it is difficult to rebel." ”
Du Xiong secretly glanced at Wang Xiang and whispered, "You just said you didn't know." ”
Depend on! Li Chengqian, this guy didn't really rebel, right? Wang Xiang was shocked, what kind of nerve did he have?
This is not scientific, firstly, Empress Changsun is still alive, and secondly, Li Tai and Li Ke do not pose much threat to his status as the crown prince now, why did he suddenly rebel?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiang didn't have the heart to chat with Du Xiong, and said, "Your Majesty asked me to come over to see the prince." ”
