As for the prince's side, she made up her mind not to help anymore.

Xiao Jiangyuan can afford to let it go, and if she doesn't help, she won't help, because even if she is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it is because she is loyal to Li Longji, but those courtiers who are loyal to the country and take precedence over the monarch are different.

In their opinion, even if Li Longji is a monarch, he can't be a witness, and the crown prince has indeed never done anything big since he entered the East Palace for more than 20 years, and his sudden deposition will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, especially shaking the mood of the princes, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of seizing the heir. Datang has only been stable for more than 30 years, is it going to be turbulent again?

In the eyes of the courtiers led by Zhang Jiuling, the prince was just a misunderstanding and discord with his father, which could not be used as a reason to abolish the prince. If you really want to abolish the crown prince and the two kings, you have to come up with stronger evidence and more undoubted crimes.

The court has a unified opinion, which used to be what Li Longji was looking forward to, but now it makes him hate it so much, and the courtiers' insistent opposition makes him so angry that he brushes his sleeves away directly at the court meeting.

No matter what, as long as the sword is moved, it is a big deal. And as long as it's a big thing, there's nothing that can be hidden.

Concubine Wu Hui has been the master of the harem for many years, and many news are even more sensitive, even Li Longji's cold treatment of courtiers at today's court, she only knew it for half an hour.

Since the East Palace was surrounded by the Inner Flying Dragon Corps, Princess Xianyi entered the palace to live for a while. When she entered the door and saw that Aya was not there, she retreated left and right, leaned in front of her mother, and said with a smile: "What a pleasure! ”

Concubine Wu Hui shook her head and smiled: "Don't be happy and angry, what the result of this matter is, I don't know." ”

"According to my daughter, even the heavens are helping us, isn't the result obvious?"

"I originally planned to let General Xiao know that the rumors were true through Lu Niangzi first, and then let you know Aya through General Xiao, but that day was so coincidental that not only General Xiao was here, but you Aya was also there. This is indeed an unexpected joy, but it is precisely because of this that the crime is not established. Those pedantic courtiers will only think that this is an excuse made up out of thin air by you Aya who doesn't like the prince and wants to abolish the prince, and they will never agree to it. If the courtiers keep persisting, I'm afraid that you, Aya, will eventually have to compromise, and the matter will be reduced to a small matter. ”

Unless...... The courtiers are not monolithic, and the leaders among them can be influenced. Concubine Wu Hui said and thought to herself, and then listened to her daughter again:

"Aya is the Son of Heaven, or is it the Son of Heaven who has been in power for many years and has the power of the world, if his mind has been decided, just the courtiers oppose it, so Aya can only compromise, there is no other way?"

These words were like a sharp axe, splitting the long-vague and unclear cloud of doubt in Concubine Wu Hui's heart in an instant. Her heart lit up suddenly, as if she had just woken up from a big dream.

Seeing that her mother was stunned for a while, Princess Xianyi was worried: "A-Niang, what's wrong?" ”

Concubine Wu Hui hurriedly came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, A-Niang just thinks that what Xian Yi said is very reasonable......"

This question of her daughter was had as early as the failure after the establishment of the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, but she was only aware of it at the time, and she did not think about it carefully, and she gradually couldn't remember it over the years. Even when she thought about it today, she was a little puzzled, and even instinctively reluctant to think deeply, as if the answer was something more dangerous than imperial power.

Princess Xianyi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Now there is only one thing left, my daughter wants to ask A-Niang to have an idea." ”

"You say."

"Chunxiangfang ......"

Concubine Wu immediately understood what her daughter meant: "Do you want to kill your mouth?" ”

Princess Xianyi said: "Exactly." Although we have never shown up in this matter, no matter how much we investigate, we can't find out, but my daughter always feels that it is inappropriate. It's strange to think about it, even the East Palace is besieged, but Chunxiangfang has nothing to do, Xu is Aya has no time to take care of it for the time being, but if the courtiers continue to object, this Chunxiangfang may have to pass the trial. When the time comes, if the courtiers grasp the suspicion and say that someone framed the prince, then the most suspicious person is not A-Niang? Rather than that, it's better to simply ......"

Concubine Wu Hui interrupted: "I also thought that you Aya was afraid of anger, but this is not the case, you can't even think of the reason for this?" ”

"A-Niang means, A-ye, this is on purpose?"

"If something happened to Chunxiangfang at this time, wouldn't that just prove that the prince had something else to hide? When the time comes, the courtiers will point the finger at me, although there is no evidence, and in the end it will not be resolved, but the prince will inevitably be abolished. As for Chunxiangfang itself, they are businessmen, and they are the most shrewd, even if they are in prison, they dare not talk nonsense, even if it is the truth. Even if they say it, will they be able to prove the prince's innocence? will only let himself fall into the crime of designing the prince, and he can no longer be alone, it is better to keep his mouth shut, at most eat some flesh and skin, but at least he can save his life. ”

"But if Aya really forgot about Chunxiangfang?"

"Then there's no need to do anything." Concubine Wu Hui helped her daughter's bun, smiled shallowly, and her eyes were serious, "In short, don't hurt people's lives unless you have to." You can only have this thought once. ”

Seeing that her daughter was puzzled and didn't seem to agree, she sighed and whispered: "Although I want to be the queen of Zetian, I am not her after all." ”

Seeing that her mother's eyes showed a little incomprehensible look, as if she was a little self-deprecating and sad, Princess Xianyi hurriedly said: "My daughter is obedient, don't be unhappy." The daughter immediately sent someone to call Yuhuan into the palace, and A-Niang also saw her new dance? ”

Hearing her daughter-in-law's name, Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but laugh, and said: "This child doesn't look like your Aye's daughter-in-law, but like her own daughter...... Instead of letting me see, you should take her to your Aye, if you vote for your Aye, Eighteen Lang can also be more favored because of this. ”

"At this time, Aya is worried about the prince's affairs, I don't want to bring the jade ring to touch his moldy head."

Li Longji is not only annoying, but also has a headache.

He had already controlled the crown prince and the second king, put an end to the possibility of mutiny, and thought that the abolition of the crown prince would be a matter of course, but he didn't want the courtiers to dare not believe his testimony in order to maintain orthodoxy? Especially that Zhang Jiuling, who was so conclusive that he almost said it directly, everything was deliberately poured dirty water on his son by his father, anyway, it was not a matter of one or two days that he didn't like this prince.

He was unable to produce more evidence of the crime, so that the matter reached an impasse for a time.

Xiao Jiangyuan is also really, saying that he had something last night and went home temporarily, when is it today, and he hasn't come back yet?

He was sneering, and he saw Xiao Jiangyuan, dressed in a moon-white round-necked robe, walking into the diligent government building and walking in front of him. His heart couldn't help but be quiet, and his anger disappeared a little: "What, can you find out anything suspicious?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was slightly stunned when she heard this-she didn't tell Li Longji about her doubts, but he knew what she thought.

She lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "The minister is just trying." As everyone said, the prince's crime is clearly understood, and it is not framed by others, but if someone really leads us to this matter, although this person has bad intentions, it can be regarded as a good deed, which is better than the prince in the future, who is full of wings and hurts everyone. ”

"So, what exactly is the result?"

“…… Just as the minister was about to put a long line to catch a big fish, the minister's servant came to report that the Chunxiangfang was empty, and according to his neighbors, it seemed to have moved away overnight. ”

"Are you sure you moved away, not by people?"

"There is no sign of persecution in either the liquor store or their dwellings. The minister also sent someone to inspect the soil in the courtyard, but it was not turned over. ”

"It seems...... It's a coincidence. ”

Otherwise, they should be silenced instead of let them go.

Xiao Jiangyuan also thinks so. After all, she is not a god-like person who has no last resort, so that she is negligent. She didn't expect Concubine Wu Hui to be benevolent, nor did she expect the people to spare their lives. Indeed, for the people who are bent on saving their lives, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it may even be that in order to ensure that there is no hindrance, this winery will not be opened again.

"What does that wine taste like?" Li Longji suddenly asked.

"Yun Niang tasted it and said that although it was spicy, it was really delicious."

"It's a pity......" Obviously, Li Longji also thought that there might be no Chunxiangfang in the world in the future, "How much did you buy?" Bring me a few jars in a few days, if it's really delicious, remember to mix half of me when you go back to Chang'an. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled and said, "...... Aren't you drinking anymore? ”

"Haven't you drunk it before...... Li Longji said with a long sigh, "and recently, I really need to borrow wine to drown my sorrows." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan could imagine the reaction of the courtiers, so he hesitated and said, "Perhaps...... It is indeed not yet the time to abolish the crown prince. ”

"I wanted to go back to Chang'an, but he wouldn't let me; I wanted to abolish the prince, but he wouldn't let him. Do I have to ask his permission for everything I do? ”

"Where is Zhang Xianggong so domineering?" Xiao Jiangyuan is on the matter, although Zhang Jiuling is a little more upright, but he is by no means a dictatorial person like Yao Chong, and he is a little more mellow and introverted than Song Jing and Zhang Shuo, which can be called the most perfect virtuous appearance.

Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I not as good-looking as him?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan blinked, tilted his head and said, "Why did everyone suddenly ask about this?" ”

"You answer me first."

“…… What others think, the minister doesn't know, but in the minister's opinion, everyone is the best. ”

Li Longji covered his lips with the back of his hand and coughed lightly twice: "Then why do you speak for him and not for me?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

The momentary happiness could not affect Li Longji's entire mood. If the matter of abolishing the prince is not resolved for a day, he will not even be able to sleep peacefully.

Li Longji refused to give in, and neither did the courtiers, and if the incident was to continue, it was necessary to break this seemingly balanced deadlock.

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no solution, it's just that before that, the minister wants to ask everyone a question." ”

"Say it quickly."

"After the abolition of the crown prince, who do you want to appoint?"
