Chapter 34: Strange
As a small person under the general trend, Dr. Xu Zhen of Taichang Temple felt a lot of pressure.
In the past, he was a non-mainstream official in Taichang Temple, and his life was tight, and in the Daming Palace, everyone could call him to drink, and when he returned home, his daughter-in-law had to talk nonsense, and his life was gloomy. finally had the opportunity to climb the big tree of Xue Chongxun, and immediately rose to the top, from a clerk to a doctor, although the official is not big, but it is much better than before, at least he is an official, and he can put up a shelf and ask someone to wait when he gets home.
But the thing he had just done as Xue Chongxun had instructed made him feel quite uneasy. told Prime Minister Wei Zhigu about the prince's rebellion...... He didn't think about it before, but since the things he explained from above, he naturally did it, but now he remembered that he was afraid.
Will the prince rebel? Xu Zhen felt that it was unlikely, this was most likely Princess Taiping's family's trick to fight the princelings. How the immortals above fight originally had nothing to do with him Xu Zhen, but the problem is that if this matter is a big trouble, Zha Jiang will say slander, can Xue Chongxun keep me?
Xu Zhen has always expressed his attachment to Xue Chongxun, and Xue Chongxun should not be stupid enough to rectify his own people...... Xu Zhen was afraid that he Xue Chongxun would not be able to protect himself.
After thinking about it, he still felt that Princess Taiping was much more reliable than Xue Chongxun, and this might be an opportunity to climb the big tree of Princess Taiping. This can't be regarded as a betrayal, Xue Chongxun was originally Princess Taiping's person.
After thinking about it many times, Xu Zhen finally walked to Princess Taiping's mansion.
When it was time to get off duty, after the drums of Daming Palace sounded, the door of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo was really full of traffic, wearing purple clothes, red clothes, and green clothes, and the officials who came in and out were dazzled. Some are high-ranking officials who cling to the princess; Some have come to ask for errands; Some came to inquire about official business, because there were some major events that the emperor always wanted to say, "Have you asked Taiping", so it is better to ask the princess first; There are also officials in the princess's mansion.
The princesses of the Li Tang Dynasty generally did not interfere in politics, let alone open a mansion and set up officials, and only one of Li Yuan's daughters opened a mansion because of great merit in the early days; Now the princess of Zhenguo Taiping has also opened a mansion, eating 5,000 households, as well as the "filial piety" and gifts of countless local officials. She was a princess, bigger than the prince's field.
A petty official like Xu Zhen walked to the princess's mansion to the extreme, and he was a little timid in his heart. At this moment, he saw Prime Minister Dou Huaizhen getting out of the car, and the handsome and dashing Dou Huaizhen was the person who would report to Princess Taiping every day after being on duty.
Xu Zhen hurriedly walked up and bowed grovelly: "The lower official has seen Dou Xianggong. β
"What kind of person, spread out, didn't you see my family Ah Lang busy? If you have something to say, when you are on duty tomorrow, you will go to the yamen and say. Haonu immediately scolded loudly, and when he saw that Xu Zhen's clothes were cyan, Haonu almost didn't directly call out to get out.
However, Dou Huaizhen is in a good mood, and he is very willing to enjoy the dignity of this kind of power carefully, when he sees others groveling to him because of his awe of his power, Dou Huaizhen will have a sense of satisfaction, and immediately beckoned: "Come here, what kind of yamen are you?" β
Xu Zhen hurriedly ran over, if it was unruly, he almost wanted to kneel, he bent his waist very low, "Xiaguan is Dr. Taichang Temple, Xue Qing's person." β
Dou Huaizhen flicked his wide long sleeves and made a chic movement: "Xue Lang, we chatted together in His Highness's mansion last time...... What's the matter with you? β
Xu Zhen looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Very important thing, can Xianggong Dou take me to present Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping of Zhenguo in person?" β
Dou Huaizhen said: "Just tell me, I happened to be going to the mansion to help you say something in front of His Royal Highness." β
Xu Zhen took a step forward and said in as low a voice as possible: "It's the prince's side...... I have to see His Highness to talk about bad things. β
Dou Huaizhen raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and her face pulled down: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and you will lose your head when you speak, understand?" β
Xu Zhen said: "I also have a grade in size, don't I understand this, so I can only talk about it in front of the princess." β
Dou Huaizhen pondered for a moment, and immediately said, "Okay, you go in with me." β
"Xie Dou Xianggong."
The entrance gate is not very strict, because many people are looking for officials in the princess's mansion for daily official business, not to see the princess. After they had walked past a complex of buildings near the door, it was not easy to get in when they came to another door. Names, official positions, and even portraits are recorded. However, it is still very easy for Dou Huaizhen to go in, he is a frequent visitor, and it is no problem to bring an official in, just record it.
Princess Taiping met with the court officials who visited today in the front hall, in addition to Dou Huaizhen, there are also Cui Xiang and others from Zhongshu Province, all of whom are the backbone of the Taiping Party.
However, Dou Huaizhen is not used to Cui Xiang's house, he always thinks that this person is angry with his mother, and he is very fancy when he wears some clothes, just like his mother's play. Mainly because Dou Huaizhen looks down on Cui Xiang, although everyone relies on Princess Taiping, but Dou Huaizhen feels that he still has real skills, Cui Xiang is like a male pet who sells color, and Jin Yu is ruined outside.
After Princess Taiping took her seat, she glanced at several people in the hall, and then paid attention to Xu Zhen who was wearing green clothes, this person was not only of low grade, but also had a fresh face. She said, "Who are you and how did you get in?" β
Dou Huaizhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this person is an official of Taichang Temple, and he said that he was under Xue Lang, what is it called...... Anyway, he said that there was news of the prince's misdeeds, and I thought that there were no outsiders here anyway, so I brought him in to listen, and if he didn't say it right, he would go out and ask for the guilt. β
Princess Taiping said majestically: "The crown prince is the capital of the country, how can anyone talk casually?" I think you're getting impatient. β
Although Xu Zhen panicked to the extreme, carrying a life-saving talisman in his arms made him feel a lot more at ease. He immediately put his hand into his arms, took out a life amulet, a letter, knelt on the ground and held the letter with both hands: "Xue Qing's handwritten letter, please look at it Your Highness." β
Cui Xiang hurriedly ran over to pick up the letter and passed it to Princess Taiping's hand, he did this kind of errand thing, as if he was doing it very happily.
Princess Taiping unfolded the letter, and sure enough, it was her son's handwriting, and there was nothing wrong with it. When she finished reading the content, her face also changed a little: "Why did Chongxun do this? She suddenly remembered that the other henchmen didn't read the letter and were confused, so she passed the letter to Dou Huaizhen and the others.
Dou Huaizhen was also very puzzled when he saw it: "There is no need for the prince to do this, and the risk is too great, I am afraid that this matter is groundless, it is strange why Xue Lang would make such a decision?" Even if it can be passed on to the ears of Jinshang, Jinshang may not believe it, and may suspect that we are behind some conspiracy. Strange, really weird! β
Another minister muttered: "This matter is in front of Wei Zhigu, and I will definitely know about it today." No matter what is going on, no matter whether you believe it or not, you will definitely have to ask the source of the news when the time comes, what should Xue Lang say in front of Jinshang? Why didn't Xue Lang tell His Highness about such a thing in advance? β
"Wouldn't it be clear to bring Chongxun over and ask? It just so happened that his injuries were not healed, so let him go to my house to recuperate. Princess Taiping said.
β¦β¦
Wei Zhigu is white and chubby, with a round face and double chin, and always has a smile on his face, looking very kind. As soon as he read the letter written to him by Xu Zhen, he immediately felt incredible, but after thinking about it, the person who wrote the letter was a person from Wei Guogong, so he couldn't just throw it away, he still had to do his best to play the emperor.
But he thought about it again: If I go to the Lin De Hall like this and talk to the previous one today, won't I also help when the time comes, about the prince?
Wei Zhigu left the Daming Palace, and did not rush to see the emperor, but went directly to the East Palace, and when he saw Li Longji, he said: "Your Highness, I just got a piece of news, and someone said that Your Highness is disrespectful...... Of course, I think it's nonsense, but I'm afraid that others will be unpredictable, so Your Highness should be on guard. β
Li Longji was originally smiling, but when he heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared cleanly, he was startled at first, and then a very puzzled expression appeared on his face.
Liu Youqiu and others don't know much about the coup d'Γ©tat, but now Wei Zhigu knows about it, how did this happen?
Li Longji didn't plan to adopt Liu Youqiu's Jianyì, he had already dispelled that thought, and only thought about how to appease his subordinates, the most important thing was to keep Gao Lishi to give everyone a reassurance pill and stabilize his momentum...... Who would have thought that news would leak out?
He paced a few steps, and suddenly remembered Zhang Wei, this person is more than arrogant, and he is reliable, but he likes to drink some wine, I am afraid that the mistake is Zhang Wei!
Li Longji hurriedly asked, "Who slandered me?" β
Wei Zhigu said: "This person is Dr. Taichang Temple, but he mentioned Wei Guogong, who else can there be in this matter except Princess Taiping?" β
Li Longji groaned, if Princess Taiping used slander to slander him again, it would be useless; Now she no longer even spreads the rumors of "abolishing the long and standing young", and it seems that the strategy has been adjusted to ease the situation steadily...... From this point of view, it is impossible for Princess Taiping to fabricate this kind of thing out of thin air, this method does not work at all, but there is a possibility of lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
So why did she do it? Most likely, you already have the credentials in hand...... The most important thing is that it was too coincidental, just when the two henchmen came up with bad ideas to Li Longji, the Taiping side immediately made a move.
At this moment, Wei Zhigu saluted and said, "Your Highness knows, then I will leave first." β
Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Wei Xianggong is going to tell his father?" β
Wei Zhigu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "I don't say it, others will say it, but the person who provoked this matter can only reap the consequences in the end, isn't it obvious?" Your Highness doesn't have to care. β
It's really obvious, the problem is that Princess Taiping is also a very old and spicy person, can she make such an obvious mistake? Wei Zhigu's sentence "obviously" made Li Longji feel even more strange.
Jin Shang may not believe that he Li Longji will rebel, but if it is not completely unfounded, Liu Youqiu and Zhang Wei may not be able to escape. And Jinshang is indeed a little wary of him Li Longji......
When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! Li Longji immediately stopped Wei Zhigu and said: "Wei Xianggong and stay, I will immediately enter the palace to meet my father, and say this to my father in person." β
Wei Zhigu thought for a while and said, "It's okay to seize the opportunity, lest the wicked sue first." β
