Chapter 222: Thoroughly investigate this case, Taiping has something to say
Mrs. Lu Ershao has only been married into the Lu family for three months, and she has no body yet, and now she can abandon such a good husband as the Lu family. The person who ordered her to do things, how many benefits did he give her, or how much power did he take from her, so that she could give up such a good backer of the Lu family.
Qingming really couldn't figure it out, but he still responded respectfully: "The slave and maid have already ordered someone to arrange it, and people inside and outside the capital are stepping up the search, and they will definitely not let her escape." β
Su Yunjun nodded, a chill in his eyes.
Now Su Zijin's death has unintentionally become the biggest change in this matter.
When Chen Longji heard the news in the Linzi Palace, he was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help but say to Zhang and Han Ningli: "It's really fateful, this kind of thing happened at this time, even if Hua Qian wants to go to Yanbei now, it's impossible." Mr. Han, hurriedly arranged to let the wind out, saying that someone deliberately murdered Mrs. Lu Shao, and this king wanted Hua Qian to stay in Beijing. β
Hearing this, Han Ningli frowned deeply.
Seeing this, Chen Longji couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong with Mr. Han?" β
Hearing this, Han Ningli replied: "Don't be happy too early, just imagine it, who is the ultimate beneficiary of this matter?" β
"Of course it's this king, Mrs. Lu Shao died in front of the Hua family, Hua Qian had to stay in Beijing to find out about the matter, and the Hua family couldn't lead troops to Yanbei." Chen Longji said that he also reacted suddenly: "What Mr. Han means, it is this king who benefits, then they will also feel that this matter was done by this king." β
Han Ningli nodded: "Now I'm afraid that everyone thinks that this matter was done by the prince, and the prince's top priority now is not to keep Hua Gan and others, but to let the Hua Wensong brothers leave the capital, so that the relationship between the prince can be cleared." If at this juncture, both the Hua family and King Song feel that this matter was done by the prince, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing. It's better for them to go to Yanbei, otherwise I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses. β
Chen Longji was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was silent, what a good opportunity this is, if he really lets the Hua Wensong brothers lead the troops to Youzhou now, even if there is no Hua Qian, it can be regarded as raising tigers.
Han Ningli knew that Chen Longji was afraid that he was unwilling to let go of the Hua family, so he couldn't help but continue: "Prince, those who become big things are not informal, and the prince should be worried, what is the person behind this design, whether he is an enemy or a friend, or to blame the prince, and want the prince and the king of Song to kill each other and reap the benefits of the fisherman." β
It can be said that it is a sentence to wake up the person in the dream, and Chen Longji was shocked when he heard this.
"Mr. Han, this king knows what to do, and immediately ordered someone to assist the Hua family in investigating this matter thoroughly, if Hua Qian finds out about the Linzi Palace, Mr. Han will let the palace cooperate, and this king will enter the palace now." Chen Longji said and glanced at Han Ningli and Zhang, he must not be taken advantage of.
On the other hand, as soon as the incident happened in the morning, Hua Qian immediately entered the palace to ask for an order, and asked Ruizong to investigate the matter thoroughly, after all, the wound on the horse's tail was too eye-catching, and it was clear that someone deliberately injured the horse and let the horse crash into the Lu family's carriage.
No matter what the purpose is, his granddaughter died at his door, and Hua Qian can't sit idly by no matter what. ran to Ruizong with a handful of snot and tears, crying and begging Ruizong to let him investigate the matter thoroughly.
Ruizong didn't expect such a thing to happen at the door of Hua's house, so Hua Qian naturally couldn't go to Youzhou anymore, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he had to approve Hua Gan to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Wei Anshi and other old ministers were also in the palace, and no one thought that such a thing could happen suddenly, but there was one thing that everyone knew. That is because some people don't want Hua Qian to leave Beijing.
Ruizong looked at Wei Anshi: "Wei Gong, who do you think is responsible for this?" β
Hearing this, Wei Anshi said in a deep voice: "The old minister doesn't know, I hope it's best not to be a spy planted in the capital by the barbarians, if so, I'm only afraid of the danger of Youzhou." β
Ruizong originally thought about whether this matter would be related to King Linzi, but when he heard Wei Anshi's words, his heart suddenly jumped.
Indeed, what Wei Anshi said is not impossible, when Hua Qian was originally stationed in Youzhou, the Hua family's iron cavalry made the Yanbei barbarians frightened. Now, after more than ten years, Ruizong was just about to send Hua Qian back to Youzhou, and something happened in the capital. It is very likely that the barbarians do not want Hua Qian to return to Yanbei, if this is the case, it means that the situation in Youzhou is only more severe than they think.
Hearing this, Ruizong couldn't help but frown: "Then what should I do now?" β
"Qiqi Sheng, according to the humble opinion of the ministers, it is best not to let the Duke of Jin stay in Beijing at the moment, and let the Duke of Jin go to Yanbei as originally planned. No matter what other people's intentions are, in short, there is only one purpose now, which is to prevent the Duke of Jin from going to Yanbei. Yao Chong saw that Ruizong's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Ruizong's face was even more ugly: "But I have just promised the Duke of Jin Guo to let him investigate this matter thoroughly, and I am wondering if I want to change people to Yanbei, Chen Tang Jiangshan must not be hindered by others." β
As soon as these words came out, Wei Anshi and Yao Chong were shocked, and sure enough, the emperor had the idea of replacing people.
wants to open his mouth to lobby for the Hua family, but there is no more suitable reason. After all, the original reason for letting the Hua Wensong brothers go to Yanbei was mainly to let Hua Qian go with him, but now Hua Qian is not allowed to leave Beijing, and it is normal for the emperor to want to change generals in battle.
Wei Anshi couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Jingheng in his heart, no matter how good the deployment was, it was ruined day and night.
Seeing that the two old ministers didn't speak, Ruizong also pondered, thinking in his heart who would be more suitable to be sent to Youzhou if he really changed people.
couldn't help waving at Wei Anshi and Yao Chong, "You guys go down first." β
Hearing this, the two old ministers glanced at each other and bowed: "Minister, retire." β
Just as Wei Anshi and Yao Chong left the palace, before they got into the carriage, Princess Taiping and King Linzi entered the palace one after another.
Watching the King of Linzi enter the palace, Yao Chong couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I'm afraid that I want to persuade the emperor to conquer the northern general to change people." β
Wei Anshi nodded, but did not speak.
After all, in their eyes now, the only one who is most likely to do this is Chen Longji.
Chen Longji didn't know what Wei Anshi and Yao Chong thought, so he entered the palace and quickly went to the Daming Palace where Ruizong rested.
Ruizong was thinking about things in the house, and the chamberlain came in and said that the king of Linzi asked to see him, Ruizong looked at the door, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes and nodded: "Let him in." β
Hearing this, the waiter went out respectfully and invited Chen Longji in.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Longji knelt directly on the ground: "Father, today in front of the Jin State Mansion, three startled horses directly collided with the Lu family's carriage, and Mrs. Lu Shao, the granddaughter of the Jin State Prince, died on the spot. Erchen had just gotten the news that it was said that someone had stabbed an inch deep with a dagger at the tail of the horse, and the horse lost control and crashed into the Lu family's carriage. This is obviously deliberately done by someone, that is, to prevent the Duke of Jin from going to Yanbei, and to ask his father to investigate. β
Ruizong sat on the seat, watching his son kneeling on the ground and speaking very seriously, but he sneered in his heart, he had already received the news that Chen Longji wanted to marry the Hua family, and at this moment, I am afraid that the last person who wants Hua Qian to leave is you.
Although Ruizong thought like this, he didn't show it, just looked at Chen Longji and asked coldly: "What does San Lang mean, who will do it, and what is it for?" β
Hearing this, Chen Longji lowered his head even lower: "Erchen doesn't know, but Erchen guesses that this person's intention is to prevent Jin Guogong from going to Youzhou, and it should be related to Youzhou, after all, Jin Guogong's direct relationship with Yanbei is the war in Youzhou." β
"What does San Lang mean, this is the work of the barbarian Hu people?" Ruizong looked at Chen Longji, even though what he said was not much different from Wei Anshi, but Ruizong felt that this matter must be related to him.
Chen Longji naturally heard the suspicion in Ruizong's words, and couldn't help but buckle his head lower: "Father, son-in-law is just guessing." β
As soon as the words fell, the chamberlain crept in: "Your Majesty, Princess Taiping asks to see you." β
Hearing this, Ruizong took his eyes off Chen Longji: "Let her come in too." β
"Yes." When the chamberlain heard this, he immediately went out.
Ruizong saw Princess Taiping, wearing a luxurious palace costume Shi Shiran walked in.
Seeing Chen Longji kneeling on the ground, he only glanced sideways slightly, and then smiled at Shang Ruizong's gaze: "Fourth brother, have you heard about the Jin State Mansion?" β
Hearing this, Ruizong sighed: "Today, the Duke of Jin has entered the palace to ask for a decree, and I want to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I have already agreed." β
Princess Taiping had already guessed that this would be the case, and she didn't have the slightest hint of surprise when she heard this, but said: "Indeed, Young Lady Lu died tragically in the Jin State Mansion, with one corpse and two lives. As a grandfather, how could the Duke of Jin Guo watch his granddaughter die and ignore it, but the fourth brother has thought about how the war in Youzhou should be? β
Ruizong was worried about this matter, and when he heard Princess Taiping's words, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm also worried about this. β
"There is a saying in Taiping, I don't know whether to say it or not." Seeing Ruizong's sad face, Princess Taiping stepped forward when she heard this.
"It's too peaceful, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
After getting Ruizong's words, Taiping spoke without scruples: "The affairs of the Jin State Mansion cannot be ignored, but the war in Youzhou cannot be delayed, why don't the fourth brother give the Jin State Duke five days, if the Jin State Duke can find out the case of Zongma within five days, it will be the best." If the Duke of Jin Guogong can't find out within five days, he can't give Mrs. Lu a justice, and ask the emperor to order the Duke of Jin to go to Youzhou with the two young generals. State affairs are far above family affairs, and the Duke of Jin has been strictly investigated, and it is reasonable to be reasonable. When the time of five days is up, it will be directly handed over to others to investigate, so that the Jin State can serve the country with peace of mind. β
Ruizong nodded when he heard this, but his brows were deeply locked: "What Taiping said is not unavoidable, but if Jin Guogong didn't catch the person behind the scenes five days later, then who should be handed over to investigate this matter?" β
Hearing this, Princess Taiping looked at Chen Longji, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Ruizong: "Taiping thinks San Lang is the most suitable!" β
Hearing Princess Taiping's words, Chen Longji and Ruizong were suddenly shocked in their hearts.
"Why did Taiping say that?"
Ruizong couldn't help but ask suspiciously, and saw Princess Taiping chuckling and said: "Fourth brother, think about it, the person who can commit murder in front of the Duke of Jin Guo is definitely not an idle person behind him, and there are few people in the whole Chen Tang who dare to take over this case." It is only Bai Zhou and his brothers who are the most suitable, but the Duke of Jin is Bai Zhou's mentor, so Bai Zhou is naturally not suitable to accept this case. The rest is the most suitable for San Lang, and when the time comes, let San Lang take over the case, and he will definitely be able to find out about this matter. β
On the surface, Princess Taiping asked Chen Longji to take over the case because Chen Longji was thinking about it, after all, if Ruizong really let Chen Longji take over, he would clearly believe that Chen Longji had nothing to do with this matter, otherwise who would let a person who might commit murder investigate his case.
But in fact, if Chen Longji really took over the case, if he couldn't find the real culprit, then Princess Taiping's civil and military officials could also directly say that Chen Longji was deliberately covering up, and he could use the topic to play.
It's just Princess Taiping's calculations, but Ruizong and Chen Longji only understand one side.
When Ruizong heard this, he only felt that this was an opportunity to suppress Chen Longji, and if Chen Longji was unfavorable at that time, he could use this to weaken Chen Longji's power and dispel the influence of his coup d'Γ©tat.
And Chen Longji felt that Princess Taiping was actually helping him to get rid of this matter first, and only by washing his own relationship would he not become the target of public criticism.
For a while, both Ruizong and Chen Longji felt that this matter was very good.
Chen Longji, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately followed Princess Taiping's words: "Father, the son is willing to take the order to investigate this matter and give justice to the Duke of Jin and the Lu family." β
Ruizong naturally followed Chen Longji's words: "Then let's do it according to Taiping's intentions." β
After speaking, he instructed Zhongshu Province to draw up an edict, and Chen Longji assisted Jin Guogong to thoroughly investigate the case, and if the real culprit could not be found within five days, Jin Guogong would go to Yanbei according to the original plan.
This time, it was no longer Hua Qian accompanying his grandson to Youzhou, but Hua Qian was ordered to go to Youzhou.
When Hua Qian got the news, he was not happy at all, although his purpose was achieved, but he took the life of a granddaughter.
Su Yunjun didn't care about how the court outside arranged it, but just let Qingming have the right to track down Second Young Lady Lu.
After three full days, Chen Jingheng sent the news and found it.
When Qingming told Su Yunjun, Su Yunjun was looking at a pair of embroidered shoes, which Su Zijin made for her when she was not married, but now it is a gap between heaven and man.
"Xiangjun, King Song just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the person has been found." Qingming saw that Su Yunjun had not slept well for the past two nights, and the whole person was a lot haggard, and he was very distressed.
Hearing this, Su Yunjun raised his head and looked at Qingming, and a cold glint shot out of his eyes: "Where are the people now?" β
"Yujin Villa, do you want to go over now?" Qingming Wenyan asked.
"Hmm." Su Yunjun nodded, instructed Qingming to go and talk to Hua's, and then took Qingming to remove the door of the pear garden.
Fahrenheit is better now, although the pain of losing her daughter has been relieved. After all, the Su family still has to be taken care of, but the old lady couldn't stand the blow at all, and she had a stroke and was lying on the bed. Su Siyan waited beside Mrs. Hua, watched Su Yunjun come in, and asked with a forced smile, "Yunjun is here." β
