Chapter 13: Questioning

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be gracious, I also did this for a reason, the day before yesterday, Gao Ziang beat Han Yu to a serious injury, but he was punished for standing for two hours, and then he didn't mention it in black and white, and he was punished with Han Yu." Cui Manwen pleaded to the crown prince.

Li Jiancheng was a little puzzled: "Why did Gao Ziang beat people?" ”

Cui Manwen continued: "Han Yu was just naughty at the time, startled Li Wanning to the horse, causing her to fall off the horse, and then Gao Ziang was like crazy, and he punched Han Yu's face. Afterwards, after being diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, Li Wanning was fine. Prince, you are commenting, is it too much for Gao Ziang? I just wanted to give him a little punishment. ”

"This Gao Ziang is indeed a bit excessive, but you can't be so ruthless, in case he has anything to do, how do you let Gao Junming's family live, you will also be charged with murder."

"Yes, the slave family knows that it is wrong, and asks His Royal Highness to excuse the slave family in front of Gao Junming."

Li Jiancheng took a few steps to the side and sat down on the stone chair next to him. Thinking in her heart: her husband Zhang Deyou, the imperial historian, is quite honest, and her father is a trusted hero of her father, so she will naturally be indispensable to the support of these old ministers when she ascends the throne in the future...... Cui Manwen, who was standing on the side, saw that Li Jiancheng was silent for a long time, and seemed to see through his thoughts, so he said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, your great cause has not been accomplished, and my Cui family will do my best to assist." ”

Li Jiancheng glanced at her with slanted eyes, and thought: What does it have to do with me when the two of you are awkward, only this matter is worth my attention. So he said: "I will not let you suffer, and Gao Junming will also let Han Yu go." You can rest assured. ”

"The slave family believes in you, His Royal Highness the Prince."

After speaking, Cui Manwen returned to the courtyard and continued to kneel.

Through the bead curtain, I vaguely saw Gao Junming sitting in the main hall, drinking tea one by one. Li Jiancheng turned around from the side of the house, lifted the bead curtain and walked into the main hall, and called Gao Junming to the back room to talk.

"Zhang Deyou is his own person, don't hurt the harmony for the child's affairs." Li Jiancheng was the first to speak.

As soon as Gao Junming heard it, he knew that this prince was bent on consolidating his own power, and he didn't care about the life or death of others, "But His Royal Highness the Prince, this is about Ziang's life, and that woman is really hateful." ”

"Do you know where the 'woman' in your mouth comes from, and her mother's status is better than yours, is it possible that you want to lynch in the house? And then provoke a war between the two families? ”

When Gao Junming heard this, he was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Prince, you are joking, your subordinates did not plan to use lynching. It's all because Cui Manwen is really hateful, and I just want to teach her a little lesson. ”

"Let's teach them a lesson, and let their family go." After Li Jiancheng said this, Gao Junming did not react at all, and did not respond. Then he continued: "Zhang Deyou's family is still very docile to me, don't you see their docility?" Or have you grown disgusted with meekness? Could it be that you, a "good bird", have a better place to go? ”

The power of these question marks is too great, and as soon as Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Gao Junming was so frightened that he "pounced" and fell to the ground: "Prince, why did you say this?" Your subordinates are loyal to you. ”

"Really? Be loyal to me and then do things for others? Is that so? How do you show me your sincerity? ”

Gao Junming knew that even if Zhang Deyou's family was released at this time, it would only be a drop in the bucket to eliminate Li Jiancheng's doubts, and the role it could play was too small. The prince is most concerned about his own power, and he must not be able to get rid of the enemy's forces. So, he said to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what can arouse your suspicion is your subordinates, in order to correct your mistakes, the next plan of your subordinates is to eradicate Pei Wenjing!" ”

"Good!" Li Jiancheng suddenly burst into joy, "Get up, I'm waiting for you to show your loyalty." If this can be done, you will still be my most trusted ally. ”

Gao Junming slowly stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Deyou's family, I didn't plan to embarrass them, I will let them go." ”

"Okay, I trust you." After speaking, Li Jiancheng wanted to leave.
