Chapter 92: Coping Strategies (Part II)
Although the rumor does not have long legs, the speed of running is very fast, no less than lightning, but a night's effort, under the impetus of some people with ulterior motives, there are dozens of rumors about the case of the arsenal in Manchang'an, and there are all kinds of rumors, of course, it is not young and old who say that this case is a major case of rebellion, but after all, rumors are rumors, just circulated among the lower-level officialdom or ordinary people, and the important ministers who can enter the Ganlu Hall will definitely not believe those rumors that have no nutrition, Of course, I will not believe that this case is a big case of rebellion, without him, in addition to a few princes in the court, there is neither a powerful minister nor a relative in power, how can there be a possibility of rebellion, in the eyes of the big guy, at this time, which prince wants to rectify Li Zhen, but was rectified by Li Zhen, as for the unlucky guy who was rectified, the big guy also has a number in his heart, and he must be the stupid genius of the prince, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng to say that this case is a "rebellion" case, which suddenly made the important ministers in the hall can't help but discuss, talked vigorously in private, but no one really came forward to argue with Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng is Wei Zheng, no matter what others say, he can say whatever he thinks, don't look at the head and pull it around, but his old man doesn't care at all, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is very important, and if you don't wait for idlers to take on this important responsibility, you must be handled by the Criminal Department, and the Holy Lord should personally take charge of this matter. ”
Don't look at the old man Wei's body is still weak, but his words are categorical and tough, and the prince's face is a little unbearable, without him, Li Chengqian is not very clear about the strange situation here, and he doesn't know if there is a rebellion case, but the problem is that he himself has been deeply involved in it, and he is in big trouble, how dare he really let the criminal department strictly investigate, if he really finds out the ghosts he did behind his back, then his position as the prince is almost over, isn't it? Besides, the text of Shang Shuqin in the Criminal Department is Li Tai's person, let him check it, and he can't put himself to death?
Li Chengqian was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to reprimand Old Man Wei in front of his own old man, seeing the smug smile on the face of the fourth Li Tai, Li Chengqian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stood up from the chair under the front pier, turned around, bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Father Qi, the son thinks that what Lord Wei said is reasonable, but I am afraid that it is a bit too much, this case is clearly caused by the deception and deception of the rats in the arsenal, corruption and deduction, and it can be found out after a check, but there is no need to go through a lot of trouble, moreover, As soon as this matter came out, it was not good-looking in the imperial court, and if it was really suspected of making a fuss according to what Lord Wei said, the son was willing to protect Du and Ma to solve the case within three days, and hoped that his father would approve it. ”
As soon as Wei Zheng heard that the prince said that he was making a big fuss, his face immediately turned pale, and he was so angry that his beard was curled, and he was about to say it, but he never thought that Li Shimin's hands were quick, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, since the prince is willing to protect, then I will give Du Fuma a chance, and it will be decided. ”
As soon as the old man's Chrysostom opened like this, the matter was conclusive, even if the big guy had an opinion, he didn't dare to mention it again, Wei Zheng still had something to say, but Li Shimin didn't give him a chance this time, and he didn't wait for the courtiers to kowtow, got up and went to the harem, Wei Zheng had no choice but to shake his head and walk out of the hall.
In the confrontation with the brothers, the prince won a rare time, he was in a happy mood, and he was not in a hurry to go, he paced slowly in front of the three brothers, and greeted him with a smile: "The third, the fourth, the eighth, the elder brother just returned to a troupe from Jiangnan a few days ago, the song and dance are simply amazing, go, go to the brother's palace to take a look, and by the way, drink a few cups?" ”
Li Tai lost a game inexplicably, and he was very upset, seeing the prince's villainous ambition, the fire in his heart suddenly became much greater, but this is in the palace, and the prince is a half-monarch, and there can be no loss in etiquette, so in desperation, he saluted with a straight face and said: "The little brother has a tight throat pain these days, and he can't drink alcohol. As soon as the words fell, he didn't care whether the prince agreed or not, turned around and strode out of the hall.
The third brother Li Ke was indispensable, seeing that there was no good show to watch, how could he still have the heart to listen to Li Chengqian's fart, and laughed a few times dryly: "Thank you Brother Prince's kindness, ah, unfortunately the younger brother made an appointment to talk about business, this is the first step, the younger brother must wait for the door to visit his brother another day, haha, farewell, farewell." As soon as he finished speaking, he arched his hand at the prince, waved his big sleeves, and slipped away.
Li Zhen was secretly speculating about Li Shimin's intentions at this time, and was so troubled by the prince that he barely came back to his senses, seeing that the two brothers were gone, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and looked at the triumphant Li Chengqian and said: "Brother Prince, the younger brother now has an official status, and he has been given a director of the Ministry of War, and he can't help himself, so I ask my brother to forgive me." ”
"Okay, the eighth brother is dedicated to his work, my brother admires him very much, the court can have such a virtuous person as the eighth brother, it is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, and it is also the blessing of my brother, good, good, good!" The prince waved his hand very generously.
Your blessings? Damn, shit, you kid is being abolished right in front of you, and you're putting on a half-ass! Li Zhen was tired of Li Chengqian's shameless appearance, but she didn't want to fall out with Li Chengqian face to face, so she just smiled faintly and said: "The prince's brother is wrong, and the younger brother is just doing his duty, hehe, I quit." ”
"Well, it's a good thing to have the court in my heart, but I can't be busy because of this, my brother will have to use the eighth brother in the future, so I should be busy. Haha......" Li Chengqian laughed proudly, laughing so much that Li Zhen was full of resentment, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Li Chengqian, and after giving his hand as a courtesy, he slipped away!
Li Zhen said that he was going to the Ministry of War on an errand, but he did not show up at the Ministry of War, but rushed back to his palace in a hurry, without him, Li Zhen has not handed over to Liu Yan at this time, the unlucky squire of the Ministry of War is now trapped in the arsenal, Li Zhen has not officially taken office, where is the errand to do, of course, the main thing is that Li Zhen is in a hurry to discuss things with Na Long at this time, so naturally he will not go to the Ministry of War.
"Sir, things have gone wrong......" Li Zhen rushed into the study, and when she saw Nalong, she didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so she hurriedly recounted the incident in detail, and at the end, asked suspiciously: "According to Mr., how did my father and the emperor do this, why would he be so partial to the prince's stupid talent?" ”
"Huh? How so? Nalong was stunned when he heard this, bowed his head and thought hard, and after a long time, he clapped his hands suddenly, stood up and said, "Yes, when it is so, alas, the Holy One is wise!" ”
What? Wise? Make no mistake! Li Zhen was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand what the old man's trick was to pretend to be confused, so he looked at Na Long suspiciously and said: "Mr. If you have something to say, please say it directly, this king can't bear to guess the word." ”
"Lord Wang, the saint may not know that Hou Junji has hands and feet in it, but he must know that the prince has a trick in it, and the reason why he doesn't check it is just that he can't check it." Naron smiled and nodded.
"Can't check it?" Li Zhen muttered a sentence, her heart suddenly moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Didn't the Holy Lord intend to replace the crown prince?" Why not ......"
Before Li Zhen finished speaking, Na Long said: "Yes, the saint is extremely dissatisfied with the prince, but there are three things that cannot be ignored: first, although the prince is despicable and incompetent, he is the eldest son, so he is involved in the case of rebellion, I am afraid that it is not what the saint wants to see, and second, if the prince is deposed, then who should be appointed as the prince?" I'm afraid that the saint doesn't have an accurate number in his heart, if the prince is abolished at this time, if another one comes up, won't the saint's wisdom be ruined? Third, the saint is not not checking, but secretly investigating, a certain Dingsheng has already begun to check, hehe, such a huge number of weapons have disappeared without a trace, how can the saint sit firmly in the palace, the left and right are just loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the prince is fooling around on the surface, and secretly trying to track it down. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Li Zhen nodded and said, "How should the king deal with this situation now?" Can you add a handful of firewood, simply make things bigger, and simply kick the old monkey out, since our old man wants to secretly investigate, it means that what Hou Junji did is not out of holy will, this king sees that this old boy must be an uneasy and kind bastard, it is better to get rid of it earlier, what does Mr. think? ”
"No!" Na Long vetoed without hesitation: "Whether the saint is secretly investigating is so-and-so, it is just a guess, and there is no real evidence, and besides, isn't the prince throwing Hou Junji out at this time to make a wedding dress for people?" ”
Ha, that's what I'm saying, if the old monkey falls down at this time, it can only be a cheap prince for nothing, it's better to let the old monkey coax the boss to fool around, and Lao Tzu will be a hunter after the yellow finch, damn it, or don't do it, if you want to do it, make a big one! Li Zhen thought for a while, made up her mind, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this king will stand aside and watch the excitement, at this time, the king's foundation is not stable, and it is not a good time to make a fuss, just wait and see, hey, the herald 'Rising Sun' and keep an eye on the old monkey, this king wants to see how much this old thing can be tossed." ”
"The prince is wise." Naron smiled and flattered.
"Yes, sir, don't pour this king ** soup, this accidentally drunk will be a lot of trouble, haha......" Li Zhen replied with a smile, the guests and hosts looked at each other and laughed, and when they were laughing happily, there was a tense noise outside the study, which immediately disturbed Li Zhen's good mood, and his heart was on fire, and he strode out of the study, and was about to teach the noisy people a lesson, but as soon as he came up, he was dumbfounded, and he cried out in his heart: Damn, why did this guy come again?
