Chapter 40: The Year (Second Watch)

Wen Qiliang waited in the mansion for two days, and before the emperor approved his excerpt to visit the prince in the East Palace, he couldn't sit still, and called Wen Xing to discuss.

Wen Xingzhi was not in a hurry or impatient, "What is my father anxious about?" The person who should be in a hurry is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"How long has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been locked up in the East Palace? Because my father can't see the prince, it's still unclear what step our Wen family should take next, how can we not be in a hurry? Wen Qiliang was really a little anxious, looking at his eldest son, he really felt that he was too indifferent.

The prince is good, their Wen family can be good, the prince is not good, how can their Wen family be good? His Majesty has now let the crown prince think about it behind closed doors in the East Palace, and he has been locked up for so long, and he is not allowed to see it, is this an indirect dissatisfaction with the Wen family and the prince?

Wen Xingzhi asked, "Your Majesty went to the East Palace in a rage today, does my father know?" ”

"Yes!" Wen Qiliang was anxious because he knew, and he didn't understand where the prince, who had been thinking about it behind closed doors in the East Palace, provoked His Majesty to go to the East Palace angrily.

"My father only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." Wen Xingzhi's face was pale, "This morning, the Imperial History Observatory impeached Shen Shaoqing and the little Marquis of the banquet for colluding to help Miss Ling deal with His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, after being counterattacked by Shen Shaoqing, His Majesty reprimanded several adults of the Imperial History Tower, and after that, he took Shen Shaoqing to the imperial study for a private conversation, and soon after, Shen Shaoqing went out of the palace, brought two internal guards, and went back to the Shen Mansion directly. ”

Wen Qiliang also knew about this, but he couldn't guess what dumb riddle was played here, he looked at Wen Xingzhi and speculated, "It's really strange for Shen Yi'an to send his younger brother to do it with Yan Qing, his younger brother is weak, and he will fall down when the wind blows, as we all know, Yan Qing is not afraid of trouble, not to mention accepting him as a gentleman, and taking him to live in Duanjing Houfu, isn't it just like the impeachment of several adults in the Imperial History Terrace, Shen Yi'an and Yan Qing colluded to secretly help Ling Hua deal with the East Palace?" ”

Wen Xingzhi sneered, "Who does Father think Yan Qing is?" Who is Shen Yi'an? ”

Wen Qiliang was asked, "Yan Qing is a gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, Shen Yi'an is...... The clear stream in the DPRK and the central government, it has to be reused by His Majesty, and the future is bright? ”

"Father thinks that even if two people like them collude together to help Ling Hua deal with the East Palace, Yan Qing now has a reason, after all, he wants to marry Ling Hua, what about Shen Yi'an? What is the reason? Wen Xingzhi asked.

Wen Qiliang thought for a moment, but couldn't think of it, "Why?" ”

"Because the East Palace wants to rein in Shen Yi'an." Wen Xingyi said.

Wen Qiliang suddenly said, "You mean, Shen Yi'an was unwilling to be taken over by the East Palace, so he took refuge in Ling Hua through Yanqing?" ”

Wen Xingzhi didn't say yes or no, only said, "Father only needs to say yes, any thing happens, it's not accidental, Shen Yi'an sent his younger brother to do it with Yan Qing, and today he took the Ouchi guards to get people outside his mansion, and soon after, His Majesty went to the East Palace angrily, which shows one thing, it must be the people of the East Palace who are staring at the Shen Mansion outside Shen Yi'an's mansion, Shen Yi'an doesn't buy the account of the East Palace, and uses the Ouchi guards to kill the East Palace, Your Majesty is angry because of Chen Qiaoyue's matter, The East Palace hit Shen Yi'an's idea, how could Your Majesty not be angry? Regardless of whether Shen Yi'an took refuge in Ling Hua through the banquet, it all means that Shen Yi'an will not take refuge in the East Palace. ”

Wen Qiliang's face was solemn, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly angers His Majesty, it will be very dangerous to go on like this." ”

Their Wen family has long been tied to the prince's rope, and they have done countless things for the prince behind their backs, good and bad, dirty and smelly, there is nothing that the Wen family has not done, the Wen family can only go this way to the dark now, there is no other way to go, the prince ascends to the throne, the Wen family is the hero of the dragon, he will also be a great minister, one person under ten thousand people, if the prince can not ascend the throne smoothly, then, the Wen family will not have a good end.

He walked around the study twice and looked at Wen Xingzhi, "If Your Majesty has not approved me to see the prince, you say, how can I meet the prince?" You can't sneak into the East Palace privately! ”

"I have already said that the person who is in a hurry now should be the prince. Father don't have to rush. In the capital, it is the land of the Son of Heaven and the territory of the prince, my father has just come to the capital, and he has attracted attention, so don't act rashly, just wait for the prince to pass the word. Even if the prince thought about it behind closed doors in the East Palace, he would not be able to smell the wind outside, otherwise he would not have sent someone to stare at Shen Yi'an. After today, the prince will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will definitely send someone to take the initiative to contact his father, and his father will just wait. ”

Wen Qiliang stomped his foot, now not only the courtiers are staring at him, His Majesty is also staring at how he will move, he really has to be careful, "That's the only way." I don't know when the prince will be imprisoned by His Majesty? ”

"The prince has been made a prince since he was a child, and His Majesty has cultivated him for many years, even if the prince angers His Majesty now, His Majesty is only a momentary anger, and he will not keep the prince locked up all the time. When his father sees the prince, he can persuade the prince, he is the prince, and what he asks for is a stable word, so he doesn't have to be so impatient. ”

I've been fighting with Ling Hua for three years, and I haven't been able to kill her, so why bother to do it again in the capital, so that it has come to this point.

Wen Qiliang sighed, "It's not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is impatient, hasn't he been forced by Ling Hua all these years?" ”

Wen Xingzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't see a smile, "The prince connived at the Taifu to harm the Ling family, so he should think of cutting the grass without leaving roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." Why did he keep a Ling painting alone? ”

Wen Qiliang was silent.

Back then, the crown prince was a ruthless person, and he couldn't restrain the Ling family, so he persecuted him for the crime, and the Jiangnan Caoyun case was a big crime of the Jiu clan, and it stands to reason that everyone in the Ling family had to go to prison, but the prince said a word in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty thought that Wang Jin would hand over eight or nine tenths of his life's wealth to the treasury before his death, so he didn't condemn Ling Hua and her two little nephews under Ling Hua's age.

At that time, some people also said that the prince was lenient, but the close ministers of the East Palace knew that the prince had the intention of hiding Jiaojiao, and the Ling family fell, so he wanted Ling to paint without roots, and the rain hit duckweed, so he carried it into the East Palace with a soft sedan chair. After all, although Ling Hua was only thirteen years old back then, she was already in the prime of her life, and with her mother Zhuyu in front of her, she would grow up in the future and would definitely crown the capital.

It's just that the prince didn't expect that Ling painted this delicate flower, which was a poisonous flower, and when she was desperate, she didn't ask for people everywhere, but dared to knock on the Dengwen drum to sue the royal complaint, and went to His Majesty with a breath, so that His Majesty retried Jiangnan Cao Yun'an and cleared up the grievances for the Ling family. Later, I didn't expect that His Majesty would reuse her and hand over Jiangnan Caoyun to her, and she saved Jiangnan Caoyun with her own strength, not to mention, but also supported the Ling family again. The prince regretted it too late.

Later, the prince repeatedly suffered losses at her hands, and missed the opportunity to frame the Ling family three years ago to cut her down and eradicate the roots. It has reached the point of being passive now.

Wen Xingzhi naturally knew this, so he asked this question, just to let his father shut up, and now seeing that he had really shut up, he said lightly, "Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and his lifespan is still early, and it is useless for the prince to be anxious, and it is useless for my father to be anxious." If my father sees the crown prince, let him be honest and stop adding fuel to the fire in front of His Majesty. ”

Wen Qiliang still believed his eldest son's words, nodded his head, and asked, "If the prince sends someone to pass the word, can you meet the prince with me?" ”

"Nope. What is visible? Wen Xingzhi's tone was light and light, "Father, just go and see me, don't take me." ”

Wen Qiliang suddenly became anxious, "What are you talking about?" You are the future successor of our Wen family, the Wen family will be handed over to you in the future, you have never seen the prince, and you will ...... in the future."

Wen Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "Then the prince will also be able to ascend to the throne in the future." ”

Wen Qiliang was shocked, "What do you mean?" Do you think that our Wen family will be busy in vain, and the crown prince will not be able to ascend to the throne? ”

Wen Xingzhi's expression was indifferent, "What is the fortune of our Wen family, naturally we have to look again, how is the fortune of the prince, we must also look again, since my father firmly believes that the prince can ascend the throne, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"The crown prince occupies the throne and occupies the long, he is favored by His Majesty, and his virtue is not lost, what reason is there not to ascend the throne?" Wen Qiliang looked at Wen Xingzhi, "Okay, our Wen family has fallen too deep, no matter what, there is no way to get out of this quagmire, we can only follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all the way." You have to keep the crown prince and ascend to the throne, and you can't let His Royal Highness the crown prince go downhill anymore. After your father leaves the capital, you have to assist the prince, and you can't be so slack and careless. If it was the last assassination in the capital, there was a green forest and black thirteen, and you followed it to attack, maybe Ling Hua would have ...... by now."

"I am a member of the Wen family, surnamed Wen, since the Wen family will be mine in the future, what is my father worried about?" Wen Xingzhi interrupted Wen Qiliang's words, "I will stay in the capital, and there will be more opportunities to see the prince in the future." ”

Wen Qi's conscience fell again, and he said, "It's the same." ”
