Chapter 108: Purpose

"What's the matter with intimacy, it's not just back then."

Shao Qizhi's eyebrows were slightly locked, and his voice was calm.

"At that time, His Majesty sent Fang Yi to escort His Royal Highness King Cheng back to Beijing, and the ministers of the court were worried that the war in the west was not peaceful, and if the commander was not there, he was afraid that the morale of the army would be disturbed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince volunteered, saying that he could fight a war to solve His Majesty's urgent needs."

"When he said this, didn't he just want to replace His Royal Highness Chengwang? also said that in order to clear His Highness's suspicion as soon as possible, he was willing to take a risk. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Shao Qizhi is such a person, once this matter is determined, nothing else can shake him, so when His Royal Highness King Cheng had an accident, he tried his best to override public opinion, and asked His Majesty to find out, which caused some ministers of the court to be very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was excusing His Royal Highness King Cheng.

And in fact, he just wanted to understand why His Royal Highness Cheng Wang did such a thing?

He didn't want to believe it.

Ouyang Xian's fingers rubbed the corner of the wooden table.

"The crown prince is different from the original His Royal Highness King Yu." He said, "I'm afraid he has long forgotten His Highness, and he has forgotten the relationship between them."

"You don't need to worry about that little bit of affection!" Shao Qizhi's brows furrowed even tighter, "Although he is the crown prince now, I don't have to live on him!" ”

It's still as stubborn as ever.

Ouyang Xian shook his head and smiled.

"Qi Zhi, it seems that you don't plan to help the prince." He said, "Even if the crown prince declines and King Ping ascends the throne, don't you care?" ”

The crown princess's mother Yan has been named the queen, he is orthodox, and His Royal Highness King Ping is the son of Qiao Guifei, who is still young, not as rich in experience as the prince, and his identity is not as noble as the prince.

The gap between the two is still very large.

"Do you care?" Shao Qizhi asked him rhetorically, "Why should I care?" Do you think they can compare to His Royal Highness King Cheng? ”

The crown prince's greatest contribution is to pacify the war situation in the west thirteen years ago, which is a merit that only succeeds His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, and other than that, it is something that is not commendable.

As for His Royal Highness King Ping, Shao Qizhi has been away from the imperial court for seven years and is not familiar with it.

"But His Highness is dead, and there is no more His Highness in the world." Ouyang Xian said, sighing, "If His Royal Highness was still there back then, wouldn't there be no chance to turn the tables......"

Shao Qizhi's eyes moved slightly.

"I never believed that Your Highness would do such a thing." He said, standing by the window with his hands in his hands, "That's treason!" How could he ...... No, I can't be wrong! ”

Still a little excited as he spoke, he turned around and walked quickly in front of Ouyang Xian, "Didn't you also say that Your Highness was wronged!" Mr. Bai, aren't they investigating, what can they find? More than ten years have passed, is it possible that there is no progress at all? ”

Although he is not a person from His Royal Highness King Cheng, he has a deep friendship with His Royal Highness King Cheng, and his relationship is no worse than that of others in King Cheng's mansion.

Ouyang Xian shook his head.

"If only it were that simple." He smiled wryly, "I believe in believing, but my belief is useless." ”

He looked at the anger and helplessness on Qi Zhi's face, and still said some things back then.

"Mr. Bai said that His Royal Highness asked Zhao Yong to present his own plan for military defense, and if he used it properly, he could solve the matter in the west, but he didn't expect where the secret letter came from and told it to His Majesty, so it messed up the strategy."

"At that time, they didn't say it because they believed that His Highness would solve the matter, but they didn't expect His Highness to drink poison at the post station and die......"

"His Royal Highness is dead, no matter how much he does, it is futile, no one will believe that the people in King Cheng's mansion are defending His Royal Highness King Cheng, so Mr. Bai and they fled the capital......"

Unexpectedly......

Qi Zhi pointed at him, his fingers trembling.

"What a white season! Hide such things from me! He was furious, "Don't you trust me?" I'm afraid I don't believe in His Royal Highness Chengwang? ”

"What a thing!" Ouyang Xian explained, "Mr. Bai doesn't have any evidence in his hand, telling you is just in vain, and it will cause you to offend others for the sake of His Highness." ”

He patted Qi Zhi's arm, "Mr. Bai, they don't want to bother you." ”

"If you say anything that doesn't even matter, I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Qi Zhi snorted and asked him, "Then why did you tell me again now?" It can't be accidental! ”

He was very dissatisfied with Ouyang Xian and them not treating him as their own, and there was no good look on his face.

"It's not." Ouyang Xian waved his hand and asked him to sit down, "Seeing that you categorically rejected Yan Huaduan today, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, so I decided to tell you." And, there's one more thing. ”

He looked at Qi Zhidao, "Master Jian has gone to find Mr. Bai." ”

……

……

"Looks like they're trying to ease the relationship."

Qi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his words, "At that time, Niangniang had an accident in the house, and Xue Yijian blamed them for not taking good care of them, and he was already resentful. ”

"I want to persuade you, but Your Majesty has already sent people to surround the Chengwang Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at all."

"I don't know what's going on inside."

"Later, I heard that Xue Yijian shot at a few people in Chengwang's Mansion, and injured Yao Pu who came to the Mansion to check, and then he disappeared."

Ouyang Xian nodded yes.

"He blames Mr. Bai for arranging a few maidservants to take the child away without his permission."

He said lightly, "Later, he found out that those servants wanted to secretly go to the crown princess with their children in their arms, and almost killed them." But in fact, they can't be blamed for this, after all, no one seemed willing to help them except the crown princess at that time. ”

Qi Zhi glanced at him and flicked his sleeves.

"I don't know if you're deliberately saying the opposite or if you're not smart." He said, with a meager anger in his words, "The crown prince is not reliable, but the crown princess is reliable?" Xue Yijian did it right, if the child is in the hands of the crown princess, it will really be over! ”

After thirteen years of that incident, he has been very disappointed in the prince, maybe the people in the Chengwang Mansion still care about the love between the prince and His Royal Highness Chengwang who grew up together, but he won't.

He is very angry, he does not drag his feet in things, nor is he emotional, he should be broken, and he will be broken.

Ouyang Xian smiled.

He was not annoyed by being accused like this.

"Mr. Bai also knows that he is wrong." He said, "That's why he asked Xue Yijian to take the little county lord away, and promised not to look for her." ”

"Now, I also know that I was wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no longer the same as it was back then, otherwise, Yao Punan came down to arrest people, why didn't he care. Yao Pu, is it really just to share the worries of the prince for His Majesty and find out the fugitive old people in the Chengwang Mansion? ”

After saying this, the room was silent, the bookshelves were piled up with scrolls, and a gust of wind blew outside the window, gently blowing the rice paper on the table.

Qi Zhi's mouth broke the silence.

"Yao Pu did this to kill them all." He said lightly, "He's dedicated to the prince!" His Majesty has already planned to let Mr. Bai and them go, and I don't know why he is so persistent, and the people under His Royal Highness King Cheng can't hinder him in anything! It can't threaten the position of the crown prince! ”

They all knew that if His Royal Highness King Cheng was still there, the crown prince's position would not fall into the hands of King Yu, and he Yao Pu would not have so much power and would be in charge of half of the East Palace.

But His Royal Highness King Cheng is dead, King Yu has become the crown prince, and he has also risen to power, so why do you want to arrest the people of King Cheng's mansion on a large scale?

Is it because now Yu Dafeng is more valued by the prince, he has nothing to do, but to find the old man of the prince's mansion for His Royal Highness the prince, so that the prince and His Majesty have a matter of heart, in order to gain the prince's favor?

Would it really be so painstaking to do such a flattering thing?

Ouyang Xian was silent, a thought flashed through his mind, and a little solemnity appeared on his gentle face.

"It's hard to say." He said, looking at Shao Qizhi, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Shao Qizhi was silent and stared at him.

I heard Ouyang Xian's solemn voice again.

"Just now you said, why did Yao Pu want to kill everything, but it suddenly reminded me of one thing......" he said, "After Emperor Xuanwen ascended the throne in the previous dynasty, he killed a group of people, and the people talked about it, saying that these people were killed because they offended His Majesty, but later there were rumors that they knew too much, and Emperor Xuanwen was afraid that they would leak out, so he killed them all......"

"What do you mean......" Shao Qizhi took over, "Mr. Bai, do they know too much?" ”

Ouyang Xian glanced at him and shook his head.

"It's different this time, it's not that we know too much." He said, "Mr. Bai doesn't actually know anything, but he only has one thought in his heart, which is to find evidence and rehabilitate His Highness." ”

"And what Yao Pu did was to stop this."

He and Shao Qizhi looked at each other, and they could see the heaviness of each other in each other's eyes.

"Perhaps, we have to take care of this matter again......"
