Chapter 380: Let Him Be a Shield
After achieving his goal, Ji Qirui didn't have the heart to leave Ji Changye behind, so he turned around and left here, letting Ji Qirui go.
He Yujin looked at the cup that was held tightly by Ji Changye, knowing that he was now humiliated by Ji Qirui, in order to prevent anything from happening in front of these many people, He Yujin said to Ji Changye, "Brother Ji, let's go quickly. There's still something to do, don't worry about it here."
"Got it, let's go." Ji Changye's face softened, and he left here after putting down the wine cup. Xiushu.com
Because even the emperor did not show up for the prince's wedding, this could not help but make the ministers suspicious, after all, even if they could not attend in person, they could not make a will. In addition, there was Ji Changye and He Yujin who were secretly pushing, so soon there was agitation in the court.
Morning.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ministers are worried about Your Majesty, the court cannot be without a master for a day, and the people in the world cannot be without a king, so I want to know what is happening to Your Majesty now." Some bold ministers came out to admonish, and many other people followed suit.
Ji Changye and He Yujin glanced at each other, knowing that their plan had been achieved, but in order not to expose it, they didn't say a word, as if they were waiting.
Ji Qirui, who was standing in front of the dragon chair, heard his words and his expression changed suddenly, but because he couldn't be angry in the court, otherwise he would be considered to be hiding something, but because of his weak heart, he avoided their sight and replied: "My father is seriously ill now, and the imperial doctor can't move around much, and besides, my father has already decreed that the affairs of the previous dynasty will be decided by this prince, what else is there to worry about?"
At this time, Zhao Hongzhen also spoke: "Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, you don't care about Your Majesty's body, but you are aggressive here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bothers day and night for the affairs of the imperial court, isn't there any hardship?" If it weren't for the fact that Ji Qirui was his son-in-law, he wouldn't want to get involved in this matter and cause a lot of trouble to himself.
It is precisely because of the previous inquiries that Ji Qirui's answers were the same perfunctory, and everyone was not so easy to prevaricate, and there was also the help of the Zhao family, so they all had doubts about his words, so someone asked: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that you are worried about anything now, but that the ministers really feel that internal and external troubles have become an urgent need, and if Your Majesty does not come out to preside over the overall situation, the world will be in chaos."
Before Ji Qirui could open his mouth to refute, he heard someone say again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if there is no deterrence from the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that disasters will run rampant, and the people will not be able to make a living, so you must let Your Majesty come forward."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to sit in charge of the court to calm the hearts of the people in the world."
After saying that, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Ji Qirui looked at this chaotic situation that was surprised for a while, and he didn't know what to do, and suddenly he saw Ji Changye and He Yujin, who didn't kneel down and forced him, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Regent, you say, this prince is worried about his father's body and doesn't want to toss his father, but these people think that this prince did it on purpose, what do you say?"
This is giving Ji Changye two dead ends.
One offended Ji Qirui, and the other offended all the ministers.
He Yujin frowned, knowing that Ji Qirui was uneasy and kind, so he looked at Ji Changye worriedly, not knowing how he should answer.
I only saw Ji Changye's indifferent expression, and he replied without surprise: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince's filial piety comes first, and His Majesty should persuade His Majesty to recuperate with peace of mind. However, the people of the world should also worry about Your Majesty, so it is normal for people to have a strong desire to invite the monarch to return to the court. The minister has no other way, but he just wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring His Majesty a will or an edict, even if it is only a few words, it can be used for peace of mind." In this way, there is no need for the emperor to come forward, and it can also appease the people, which is also the best idea.
Ji Qirui looked at Ji Changye and knew that he was also secretly helping those people to persecute him, but what he said was high-sounding, and he had no way to refute it, so he could only grit his teeth and agree: "What the regent said is also reasonable, this prince will ask his father for instructions, and give you an answer when the time comes." Alright, if there is nothing else to do, then retire from the court, and you will come with Prince Regent." With that, he turned and left.
"Brother Ji, what is he doing here?
Nothing good is coming." And Yujin said worriedly to Xia Ji Changye.
The other party shook his head, he didn't know what medicine was sold in this Ji Qirui gourd, so he could only comfort him and say, "It's okay, the prince doesn't dare to do anything to me now. Go back and don't let those people keep an eye on you. By the way, if someone comes to you and wants to openly implicate you in these things, you must not agree, just be too involved."
"Don't worry, Brother Ji, I'll leave the palace first, take care."
Watching He Yujin's back leave, Ji Changye turned around and didn't dare to delay any longer to keep up with Ji Changye's pace, and walked with him in the corridor in the palace.
Ji Qirui didn't say what the purpose of finding Ji Changye was in advance, but just looked at the scene of twilight in the round garden and said, "This time flies really fast, so many things have happened in the blink of an eye."
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it is natural for this time to be faster." Ji Changye followed him vigilantly, he didn't believe that he had come to him just to take a walk and see the scenery.
Sure enough, the other party stopped in a pavilion and told the entourage to retreat, so that there were only the two of them.
Ji Changye looked at him and asked first, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to find a minister?" Ь.
"It's still your regent who is smart, in that case, this prince will get straight to the point and not be polite to you. Recently, not only in the palace, but also in the streets, there have been some unrealistic rumors, saying that the crown prince did not hesitate to put His Majesty under house arrest in order to seek power and usurp the throne, and declared that His Majesty was sick. Well, you've heard a lot of rumors, haven't you?" Ji Qirui looked at Ji Changye, and the corners of his lips pulled into an inexplicable smile.
Ji Changye knew what he had noticed, but he still replied calmly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, these rumors are really not less, but the minister does not believe them. The minister believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is for the good of His Majesty, so he was forced to take over the affairs of the court, and it is already extremely hard, how can he still do such rebellious things?"
Listening to his words, Ji Qirui felt that it was full of hypocrisy, but since the two of them were both hypocritical here, it was not easy for him to find out anything directly, so he replied, "You and I have been friends since childhood and grew up together. Of course, Prince Ben knows that you will believe that Prince Ben is not such a person. But if there is no wind and no waves, how could such a thing happen if someone had not fanned the flames?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the minister still doesn't know how to help His Highness?" Ji Changye knew that he was yin and yang, but it was not good to say anything, so he could only follow his words, otherwise it would be easy to provoke him.
Seeing his words, Ji Changye didn't dare to refute, Ji Qirui suddenly felt the benefits of power, so he directly intensified: "In this case, this prince will ask the regent to help investigate this matter and see who wants to deliberately frame this prince." He handed over this matter to Ji Changye to remind him of something.
Although Ji Changye was reluctant in his heart, it was now Ji Qirui who was in charge. And he has already hinted at something, so he must act according to the rules, otherwise he will be suspected. In this regard, he respectfully spoke: "Thank you for your trust, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister will not hesitate, no matter what, he will obey the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Prince."
The investigation is just a lip service, otherwise he can't arrest himself, so Ji Changye can still deal with these words,
I didn't expect Ji Changye to agree so happily, and thought that Ji Qirui was happy, so he patted him on the shoulder meaningfully and said, "Since this prince trusts you so much, don't live up to my expectations, this prince is waiting for your good news." With that, he turned around and walked into the depths, and as for Ji Changye, he left him on his own.
Ji Changye sighed helplessly, he didn't want to do these things, but because of all the things that had to be done, after a short period of thought, he also left here. At this time, the most difficult question is how he should prevaricate the prince, now that this matter has been put on the bright side, he can no longer prevaricate him.
With this concern, he returned to the Regent's Palace.
"Brother Ji, you can be regarded as back, do you know how anxious I am." He Yujin saw Ji Changye and Changfeng walk in, and immediately got up to greet him.
His words gave Ji Changye some comfort, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the prince didn't embarrass me. However, he handed over the investigation of the gossip in front of me to me, and he must have sensed something and did it deliberately. Therefore, it is imperative to find a way to fool this matter over."
After hearing this, He Yujin exclaimed, "This prince is really cunning. I didn't expect him to have this method, if he had put it in the past, he would have gone to the queen to complain. What should you do, Brother Ji? If it's a pinch, you push me out, can't you let the prince know your true identity?" Even if he was put in prison because of this incident, he and Yujin had no complaints, after all, it was for the common pursuit between them. xь.
"How can I do that? Isn't that sorry for you? You put it down, I have a way to fool the prince." Ji Changye knew that He Yujin was also to protect him, otherwise how could he not be afraid? So whatever the reason, he couldn't do it.
He Yujin still wanted to insist on persuasion, but was stopped by Ji Changye: "This matter is settled. By the way, the atmosphere in the court has reached the point of dire straits, and you can secretly push it again, so that they can realize this matter as soon as possible, so as to overthrow the crown prince and save His Majesty."
Although he was still worried about Ji Changye, in order to take care of the overall situation, He Yujin could only agree to his words and answered, "Don't worry, Brother Ji, I will do this well." You also have to take care of everything, if those who are cunning in life want to be unfavorable to you, you must stop the loss in time, and you can't risk yourself."
"I see." Although Ji Changye said this, he didn't plan to give up when he really encountered danger, otherwise all their efforts would be in vain, so he would not back down when necessary.
At this time, both of them were determined to die.
"Second brother!"
Ji Qimu's voice sounded not far away, which made Ji Changye a little strange, and when he saw his figure, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Why are you here?" He heard that Ji Qimu had been stared at by Ji Changye in the past few days, how could he get out?
The other party was out of breath, pulled Ji Changye to sit down and said, "Don't talk about this matter, I have something very important to tell you this time."
