Chapter 360: Hidden Dangers (2)
Jiang Yunqing looked at this Xu family when he spoke, and said seriously:
"But uncle, this situation is not a long-term solution, once the balance between the court and the crown prince is broken, and something happens to the king and the crown prince, the Meng family will never be stable today."
"Yesterday, Beilinpo was attacked, the third prince and Emperor Yuan Cheng were injured, and the fifth brother was not in a good position, although he was able to protect himself temporarily, but after returning to Beijing, if there is any problem in the future, Emperor Yuan Cheng will kill the Meng family again, and today's matter will be brought up again."
"When the time comes, what they will have to deal with is not just the fifth brother alone, but the entire Meng family."
Xu Shi's heart was slightly cold when he heard this.
She knew that what Jiang Yunqing said was true, and Emperor Yuan Cheng had been afraid of the Meng family for a long time.
After Meng Tianshuo and Meng Wenfeng were recalled to Beijing, they were forced to stay in the capital, which seemed to be infinitely beautiful and entrusted with important tasks, but in fact, they were undoubtedly under surveillance.
Last night, the prince was banned, and the people in the paddock were panicked, if something happened to the king at this time, I am afraid that the court will really change the sky, and once the king and the prince fall, there is no constraint, I am afraid that the target of Emperor Yuan Cheng will be their Meng family.
Meng Qi said on the side: "Mother, what Yun Qing does is for the good of the Meng family after all. ”
Xu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Yunqing said to Meng Qi at this time: "Last night, what happened in the paddock?" ”
Meng Qi nodded and replied, "You expected it right, not long after you left, Your Majesty made a move on the crown prince." ”
"He disposed of Xue Chengshan, the commander of the forbidden army, on the charge of escorting the unfavorable and suspected of colluding with the assassins, and let the original deputy general An Qining temporarily take over the position of commander, after An Qining took over the forbidden army, the first thing was to let people search the inside and outside of the enclosure, saying that he was afraid that there were assassins in the camp."
"Something found in the prince's tent?" Jiang Yunqing asked in a deep voice.
Meng Qi nodded: "The searchers found the witch Gu thing from the prince's tent, with His Majesty's birthday on it, and the little eunuch beside the prince personally pointed out, saying that the prince had cursed His Majesty with the witch Gu thing as early as when he was in the capital." ”
Jiang Yunqing had expected it for a long time, and knew that Emperor Yuan Cheng would take the opportunity to attack the prince, so when he heard him talk about the prince, he just nodded and didn't say much.
Meng Qi continued in a low voice: "After the prince had an accident, I passed on the words you commanded as you said. ”
"In the second half of the night, His Majesty had already heard the news, and urgently summoned the left and right prime ministers and Taifu and others to enter the account to discuss the matter, and they did not disperse until the early hours of the morning, and I heard that they also lost their temper."
"Originally, the crown prince was locked up, but later he was put back in the tent, and His Majesty just asked him to be guarded and no one was allowed to visit."
Jiang Yunqing listened to Meng Qi's words and said slowly:
"Emperor Yuan Cheng is a smart man and cherishes feathers even more, after the death of the first emperor back then, his throne was not so clean."
"At that time, the world was unstable, the court was turbulent, and countless people were watching him, so he was forced to set up the son of the first emperor as the crown prince, and he loved him externally for ten years."
"He has earned the name of benevolence and righteousness, which is praised by the world, but at this time, if he directly does it to the prince just because of a witch thing, it will be tantamount to overturning everything he has done before, and even confirming the rumors that he wanted to get rid of the prince and take back the position of the prince after the throne is stable."
