Chapter 347: On the Sparseness of Royal Clues (1)
Ling Yi was very curious about why Wei Yun would continue to stay in Yanbei Town, according to the current situation, Wei Yun should be the safest choice to leave Yanbei and return to Yanjing.
With doubts, Ling Yi asked, "Does my cousin have any plans?"
Wei Yun smiled slightly and shook his head: "I was exiled to Yanbei, if I leave here without permission and run to other places to avoid the war, then there will be a lot of people who will seize my handle, and many people in the court want me to disappear, they are worried that they can't find a chance, if I leave the handle, I will be ruined!"
Ling Yi asked strangely, "Who in the imperial court wants to deal with my cousin?"
Wei Yun replied: "I actually don't want to tell you, but now that you have shown a lot of military talent, coupled with your previous competitions and current military achievements, you have been noticed by many people in the court." I figured it out that there are things you should know a little bit about in advance!"
"What is it?Is it about the martial arts?" Ling Yi cheered up, wondering what Wei Yun was going to say to him?
"I haven't investigated the affairs of the martial arts family clearly, I only know that the martial arts family was not wronged back then! The mother and uncle did not have any conspiracy, let alone any conspiracy, and my grandfather did not have any rebellious actions!" Wei Yun's expression was very heavy, this was the first time he said everything he knew about it, and some things had been held in his heart for too long.
"I know this, grandpa and father will not rebel, but in today's situation, is it the emperor who wants to do it?" Ling Yi said the speculation in his heart for so many years, even if Wei Yun was the prince, but Ling Yi still wanted to get an answer from him.
"Father's words, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with him, I only know that he was not prepared to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter back then, and it was all investigated by his subordinates, and he directly dealt with it according to the law of the country, which made me feel very strange!" Wei Yun said everything he knew: "It stands to reason that for a founding father like my grandfather, it is impossible to be convicted hastily without substantive evidence!"
Ling Yi also felt strange: "The third uncle, that is, the dean of Haoran Academy, Wu Datong, once said that there is a mastermind behind this, do you think that the mastermind behind this is the emperor?"
If the mastermind behind the scenes is really the emperor, then it will be difficult for Ling Yi to take revenge, and it will be very embarrassing to say Wei Yun's identity, what substantive evidence will Wei Yun really find?
"Third uncle, what did he tell you?" Wei Yun seemed to only know Wu Datong's identity.
"Do you know that there is another person like the third uncle?" Seeing that Wei Yun was not surprised, Ling Yi asked.
"I've heard my mother mention it a few times, but I've never seen him. ”
"Oh, the third uncle didn't say anything, that is, I don't know the details now, and I will tell me when the time comes!"
"Well, I don't know what my father's attitude or intentions are in this matter. What I'm going to tell you is that you have to be careful of the two of you in the future!" Wei Yun said to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi frowned and asked curiously, "Two people, who are they?"
In Ling Yi's opinion, the characters who can be mentioned by Wei Yun must not be idle people.
Wei Yun said in a deep voice: "The eldest prince and the second prince!"
"Why do you want to pay attention to these two princes?" Ling Yi asked strangely.
Wei Yun replied, "Let's talk about the four princes first!"
"Why did you say that the fourth prince went?" Ling Yi didn't know which door Wei Yun was selling.
"The four princes came from a humble background, especially back then, he and his mother did not have any power to rely on, so they may have nothing to do with the affairs of the martial family. But anger can't be careless, since that incident, he has opened up the martial arts vein in advance, and his talent is extremely high, and he has also been deeply appreciated and cultivated by his father in recent years!"
After listening to Wei Yun's explanation, Ling Yi naturally knew that the fourth prince, Wei Tuo, could be said to be the most favorable contender for the throne now.
Wei Yun continued: "Let's talk about the second prince Wei Lian, this person is an extremely scheming person, face to face with him, you don't know what he is thinking!"
"It is rumored that he was not in that year's incident, although he successfully detoxified, but his physical injury was not small? When I was competing in Qingcheng, I saw him at a glance, as if he looked sick, and he didn't look special!" Ling Yi recalled, as if he had a little impression of this Wei Lian.
Wei Yun shook his head and said, "Don't be deceived by his appearance, he is not sick, but extremely powerful!"
"Not sick, how could it be?" Ling Yi asked strangely.
Wei Yun rolled up his clothes as he spoke, and there was a bruise on his chest, like a vague palm print.
Ling Yi looked at it and asked in surprise: "How is this injury, it seems to be injured by a martial art such as a poisonous palm?"
Wei Yun nodded and said, "This was left to me by Wei Lian four years ago, when he was twenty years old, he had already broken through to the strength of a great martial artist, and this palm was left when he broke through and practiced his hands." ”
Ling Yi hurriedly asked, "Cousin, how is this injury recovering now?"
Wei Yun shook his head and said, "It's no big deal, it could have been completely eliminated, but I'm afraid that Wei Lian will be suspicious, so I've kept this injury!"
"Well, it's fine, but why did Wei Lian make a move on you?"
Wei Yun replied: "He's testing me, you don't have to worry!"
"Wei Lian's grandfather, that is, the prime minister of the dynasty, didn't he have a friendship with his grandfather? With this relationship, if he doesn't take care of you, he should fall into the well!" Ling Yi asked strangely.
"In front of the throne, these relationships, everything is a floating cloud, not to mention friendship, even family affection can be erased!"
After listening to Wei Yun's words, Ling Yi finally understood the cold-bloodedness of the royal family.
Wei Yun continued: "Let's not talk about these first, let's talk about the places that should be paid attention to first. ”
Ling Yi came back to his senses and continued to listen to Wei Yun.
"First, you naturally have to pay attention to his strength. Second, you also have to pay attention to the forces behind him, the history of the protégés of the prime minister's lineage is respected by him, it can be said that now Chaoyan civil officials are mostly in his hands!"
"This ......" Ling Yi didn't expect that this Wei Yun actually had such a lot of energy.
"In the future, when you enter the court as an official, be careful of this person, he relies on the power in his hands, but he excludes a lot of dissidents!"
Ling Yi wondered: "Didn't the emperor interfere with him, just let him do whatever he wanted?"
"My father intends to cultivate, as long as it is not a big deal, I never ask, even if the eldest and fourth have conflicts with him, my father will let them fight, which is also a means of selecting candidates for the crown prince!"
"This royal matter is really not something that ordinary people can estimate, according to this view, the eldest prince and the fourth prince should not be his opponents!" Ling Yi guessed.
"The fourth is not as powerful as the second, so naturally he is not an opponent, but the boss is different!"
"The eldest prince?" Ling Yi was even more strange, and hurriedly asked: "The eldest prince, hasn't he become a fool, how can he still fight against the second prince? Could it be that the queen doesn't give up and wants to support the fool to be the crown prince? The emperor won't agree, right?"
Wei Yun nodded and replied, "Everyone else says that the boss is a fool, but I don't look like it, I guess he's pretending!"
"How?"
"Eyes, a person's eyes can convey a lot of information, but also show a person's spirit, I have been in contact with the boss several times, others can't see it, but I can be sure that he is not a fool!"
Wei Yun continued: "If the boss is really a fool, do you think the queen will still fight for power and profit? If she fights for more and comes back, no one will inherit it in the future, and she hasn't made a wedding dress for other people? Don't you know, in the current army, many generals are the head of the uncle Lin Zongxiang, and it can be said that he controls half of the army!"
"What do these two princes think, one pretending to be stupid and the other pretending to be sick, what are they doing?" Ling Yi really didn't understand.
"They are doing this for the emperor and others, first, they have been pretending to be sick and stupid, even if they have done something out of the ordinary, they can find a reason for others to forgive, especially the emperor, they can get a lot of mercy!" Wei Yun replied.
Ling Yi really didn't understand what royal life was like, in this way, it was simply intriguing, but the more this was the case, the more they refused to give up the royal life, let alone the inheritance of the throne.
Wei Yun continued: "Besides, they are doing it for my father and other ministers, so that they can always remember that they are still like this, so that even if one day my father intends to pardon me or reuse me, their forces will do everything possible to obstruct me, in this case, even if they kill me excessively, they can find a way to shirk responsibility." ”
"In the royal family, being able to hide their strength and suddenly explode at a critical moment is the most powerful means, and now they are all brewing such a plan!"
Ling Yi really realized the meaning of the phrase "since ancient times, the royal family has no affection", in order to restrain Wei Yun, they were willing to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and they have been pretending to be stupid for so many years, of course, it does not rule out the possibility of their forbearance erupting, but all this makes people feel frightened.
Wei Yun continued: "I'm telling you this, I have a few things to tell you!"
Ling Yi cheered up, he knew that Wei Yun had said so much, and the central purpose was the matter of the martial arts.
After Wei Yun looked around, he first said to Zhang Cheng: "Brother Zhang, I hope you keep today's matter secret, especially what I said next, you must not say it, otherwise, it will be the three of us who will die!"
Zhang Cheng heard so many things about Wei Yun, especially the royal secrets, and naturally understood the importance, and hurriedly nodded his head and swore: "I, Zhang Cheng, will not betray Lingyi, otherwise the sky will thunder!"
Seeing Zhang Cheng swearing, Wei Yun began to say: "There is evidence that the affairs of the martial arts family back then were more related to the Lin family and the Sun family!"
"What?" Ling Yi sat up straight in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Cousin, what's going on?"
Wei Yun said in a low voice: "This has to be said slowly, I will start with my mother's serious illness!"
Ling Yi asked strangely, "Auntie is seriously ill?"
