Chapter 710: Counterattack

There was silence in the study of Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, Wu Chenghe's face was gloomy, he stared at Wei Suizhong who was kneeling in front of him, and sneered: "You said that Junchen wants to fabricate a crime and sue this king for rebellion?" ”

Wei Suizhong bowed his head and said: "Yes!" ”

Wu Chenghei probed his figure and asked, "You are a henchman of Lai Junchen, why did you leak this news to this king?" ”

Wei Suizhong fell to the ground with his hands and replied respectfully: "The ants intend to shake the tree, and the lower officials don't want to die with it!" ”

Wu Chengsi glanced at him coldly, and slowly sat up straight: "Lai Junchen was able to return to Beijing, it was the Lone King who protected him, and the Lone King was very kind to him, why did Lai Junchen want to attack this king?" ”

Wei Suizhong replied: "When Lai Junchen was demoted to the same state, he asked His Highness more than once, and although His Highness agreed, he never gave assistance......

Wu Chengsi's face was hot, he didn't do anything after receiving the money, he naturally knew it.

Wei Suizhong said: "Lai Junchen has long held a grudge against this and swore revenge!" Later, although he was able to return to Beijing, he regained Bixia's favor and trust, relying on the credit of cracking the case of Su Lianyao and Liu Sili's rebellion, and His Royal Highness did not help, so ......, Lai Junchen only holds grudges, does not remember gratitude, and is mean and unkind, which has always been like this! ”

Wu Chengsi thought for a while and looked at Zhang Jiafu, the Fengge housekeeper who was standing aside. Over the years, this Zhang Jiafu has become his first strategist, and he has always believed in the letter: "Jiafu, do you think it is possible?" Lai Junchen wants to sue the king, Princess Taiping, Prince Dan, and King Luling for rebellion, unless he is crazy! ”

Zhang Jiafu said cautiously: "Your Highness, coming to Junchen to do things has always been crazy!" However, he will not do anything that is not good for him! ”

Zhang Jiafu turned to Wei Suizhong and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Lai Junchen not hesitate to be an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty and sue so many people?" He sued so many people, why didn't he sue King Liang alone? What else is hidden inside, say! ”

Wei Suizhong's body trembled, and he stammered: "Your Highness Mingjian! That Junchen, I don't know where I heard that the emperor has secretly designated the crown prince as His Royal Highness King Liang. It's to figure out what you want. Want...... I want to catch everyone who is not good for King Liang, so as to invite His Royal Highness King Liang! ”

Wu Chengsi was taken aback when he heard this, and changed color and said: "The emperor has decided that Wu Sansi will be the crown prince, is this true?" ”

Wei Suizhong smiled bitterly: "How could the lower officials know about such an important event?" Xia Guan only knew that because Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers were moving closer and closer to King Liang, it was because Junchen had this judgment. As for what is the real basis for his judgment, Xia Guan really doesn't know! ”

Wu Chengsi became uneasy, and suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiafu waved his hand to Wei Suizhong and said, "You go back, if there is anything else sent to you by Lai Junchen, just be careful as always." Come and report to the prince at any time. Since you are determined to serve the prince, the prince will definitely keep you safe, that is, to protect your career and future, it is just a matter of words! ”

Wei Suizhong hurriedly responded, thanked him again, and quietly retreated.

As soon as Wei Suizhong left, Wu Chenghei hurriedly said to Zhang Jiafu: "Jiafu, you see that the emperor has decided on the matter of the crown prince. Is it true or false? ”

Zhang Jiafu said: "Erzhang and King Liang." It has been close lately, but it is necessary to say that the emperor has decided to make King Liang the crown prince. But there is no credible indication. Or, ......, in the emperor's heart, he has begun to lean towards King Liang, and he is to make friends with the two first, and it is impossible for Junchen to know all the details before he will make this judgment! ”

Wu Chengsi surged and coughed sharply a few times before he wheezed: "Impossible, impossible!" If this is the case, it is better to buy Junchen than Wu Sansi, once the matter is completed, the future is immeasurable, Wei Suizhong is his henchman, why did he betray him? ”

Zhang Jiafu said: "Even if the emperor has the heart to establish Wu Sansi as the crown prince, he may not be willing to be ruthless to eradicate so many relatives in one fell swoop, this is a dangerous move to come to Junchen, he has never reported so many close ministers of the Son of Heaven in one fell swoop, and it is normal for Wei Suizhong to have doubts." Besides, Wei Suizhong may not be unwary of Lai Junchen now! ”

The King of Wei was on top, and it was not clear what was going on at home, so Zhang Jiafu told Wei Suizhong about the drunken invasion of Wei Suizhong, insulting Mrs. Wang, and causing him to commit suicide. When Wu Chengsi heard this, he no longer doubted Wei Suizhong's motives for serving him, but he was also more convinced that the emperor had decided to make Wu Sansi the crown prince, and said in a panic: "In this way, it is very credible for the emperor to establish Wu Sansi as the crown prince, what should this king do?" ”

Zhang Jiafu said: "Your Highness, don't panic, this matter may not have been decided, but ...... Let's give it a try! ”

Wu Chengsi said: "How to try? ”

Zhang Jiafu said: "Lai Junchen intends to be unfavorable to the king, no matter what, he wants to eradicate him." The king may wish to take advantage of this matter to contact all the imperial relatives who will be sued by the coming Junchen, and work together to impeach the Lai Junchen, and bring down the Lai Junchen, and then go to a threat. From this matter, you can also observe Bixia's mind! ”

Wu Chengsi realized something, and said, "You mean ......?"

Zhang Jiafu said: "If the emperor tries to protect Junchen, it means that the news that the crown prince has decided is true, and the king should have taken precautions as soon as possible." If the emperor is willing to kill Junchen, it means that the emperor has no intention of making King Liang the crown prince, and even if there is, the emperor has this intention, and the determination is undecided. ”

Wu Chengsi said thoughtfully: "What you say is reasonable! Without further ado, this king will immediately go to Taiping to discuss this matter! ”

Wu Chengsi was frightened by Lai Junchen, who was known as a mad dog, and was anxious about whether the emperor had decided to establish Wu Sansi as the crown prince, and immediately drove to see Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping was also "shocked" when she heard the news, and immediately discussed with him, determined to unite all Liliang who could be united, eliminate Lai Junchen, and at the same time use this to strongly revolt and put pressure on the emperor to force her to dispel the possible plan of Liwu Sansi to become the crown prince.

For his own safety, but also for the sake of the crown prince's belonging, Wu Chengsi worked hand in hand with the remnants of Li Tang for the first time, under the cover of his leading brother, although he couldn't see anything in the short term, but in the long run, all Li Tang's faction, whether it was a subordinate of Princess Taiping, a minister loyal to the prince, or an official who was inclined to King Luling, would have a more relaxed development environment.

Li Tang's shili has further recovered, like a vigorous weed in the countryside in spring.

"Grandpa Gao, please come here!"

Colliers nodded, and continued to walk forward with the courteous little chamberlain.

Today's East Palace is a colder palace than the cold palace, the crown prince Li Dan and his children are trapped in this compound, although no one blocked the palace gate, but there is an invisible palace gate. Except for the grand celebrations, the emperor needed her sons and grandchildren to come out and fill the scene, other times. They could only honestly defend the desolate palace.

The eunuch who guards this cold palace. There is no oil and water to speak of, and over time, the prince and the imperial grandsons are becoming more and more slack, Gao Lishi walked all the way, only to see weeds growing in the cracks of the green bricks, but no one cleaned them up at all.

Although Gao Lishi entered the palace late, he was the righteous son of Gao Yanfu and Gao Gonggong. In addition, Yang Fan once introduced him to Wan'er, and asked Wan'er to take care of him in the palace, the eunuchs in the palace are the most snobbish characters, they know that this little chamberlain is the righteous son of Gao Gonggong, and Shangguan is also favored by him, so he naturally tries his best to welcome him.

"Prince. Grandpa Gao is here to inspect the East Palace! ”

The eunuch of the East Palace didn't look at the prince and the imperial grandsons in the slightest, and without making a statement, he broke in with a proud expression.

The crown prince Li Danzheng and his sons are having lunch, the lunch is very simple, the dishes are dried vegetables and pickles, and the family has been locked up in the palace for a long time, and their expressions and demeanors are a little wooden. There was no reaction to the eunuch's rudeness.

"How can it be!"

The crown prince and the imperial grandsons did not speak. Colliers was furious.

"The crown prince and the emperors and grandchildren face each other, you slave dare to be so rude!"

Colliers snorted angrily. Shocked, the eunuch of the East Palace hurriedly fell to the ground: "Yes, yes, Gonggong Gao is angry, Gonggong Gao is teaching!" ”

Gao Lishi looked at the table of Li Dan and the county kings, and was even more furious, the diet of the prince and the imperial grandsons was so simple, it was obvious that they were deducted from the supply by these chamberlains.

Wu Zetian is like a thief, he doesn't want him to be tainted with power, but he will not drastically reduce the supply specifications, even in winter, the prince should have a supply of vegetables, not to mention that it is spring now.

Nowadays, even the eunuchs and female officials in the palace who have a little status have eaten dishes such as leeks and garlic sprouts to nourish spring, and the dignified prince and many county kings and grandsons are still eating pickles.

Gao Lishi himself is from rich to poor, and his family is in the middle, so he hates snobs the most, and when he sees them being so harsh on the prince, he is naturally angry.

The waiter in the East Palace didn't know why this Gao Gonggong was so angry, so he just confessed his guilt vigorously, Gao Lishi scolded him angrily, drank out, and then dressed up and stepped forward to pay respects: "Slave Gao Lishi, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen the county kings!" ”

Li Longji is now a thirteen-year-old boy, he has been under house arrest in the East Palace for so long, but his sharpness has not been sharpened at all, when Gao Lishi angrily reprimanded the waiter in the East Palace, his face turned red with anger, Li Longji watched coldly, seeing that he was by no means pretentious, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of this little eunuch.

Li Dan saw Gao Lishi kneeling down, stood up a little panicked, and said sneeringly: "This father-in-law, but...... But does the mother have a will? ”

Gao Lishi saw that there was no one waiting for dinner in this hall, and after the attendant who led the way was repelled by him, only the prince and a few royal grandsons were left in the hall, so he did not ask the prince to retreat, but took out a secret letter from his sleeve, stepped forward on his knees, and respectfully handed it to Li Dan.

Li Dan and these sons are trapped in the East Palace, and they have long lost the strict rules of the royal family, and Li Dan usually has something to do, and there is no one to discuss, and the only henchmen who can really rest assured are these sons, and Li Longji and several people have flocked to Li Dan's side to read this secret letter together.

When Li Dan, the prince, was born, Wu Zetian was already extremely strong, and grew up next to this strong mother, the two brothers Li Dan and Li Xian were far inferior to their two brothers, both of whom had the same cowardly character. In the days when he was under house arrest in the East Palace, Li Dan was like a frightened bird, and his heart was frightened when something happened.

Now that he unfolded this secret letter, he saw that it was written by his sister Taiping, and the content was as expected, and someone intended to harm him, so shocked that Li Dan didn't wait to read it, so he sat down with his knees weak, but Li Chengqi, Li Longji and other imperial grandsons were so angry that their faces were red.

Li Chengqi held back his anger, snatched the secret letter from his father's hand, and continued to read it with his brothers......
