Chapter 87: Visitation
"With my uncle's words, I'm relieved!"
Xue Chongyun said, his heart is a lot more steady, now that he is on Princess Taiping's thief ship, it is too late to run, so he naturally hopes that Princess Taiping can win.
Otherwise, there will be a disaster of killing, he is the only seedling of his family, if he dies, his vein will be completely cut off.
"Princess, there's news!"
At this moment, the butler of the princess's mansion appeared outside the door and walked in to salute Princess Taiping.
"How? Was the assassination successful? ”
Xue Chongyun hurriedly asked, this is a matter of his net worth and life, so he can't help but be nervous.
"I don't know!"
The head of the princess's mansion shook his head.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it!"
Princess Taiping said.
"Yes, princess!"
The head of the princess's mansion told Princess Taiping and the others truthfully the news she knew.
From the beginning of the assassin's move, to the arrival of the forbidden army, all the assassins committed suicide, the forbidden army escorted Li Jing back to the Regent's Mansion, and then a large number of forbidden troops protected the Regent's Mansion from a fly to prevent a fly from flying in, and then the imperial doctor in the palace hurriedly came, whether Li Jing was dead or alive, there was no news at all!
"It's wonderful! It seems that Li Jing is more auspicious this time, and now His Majesty will be able to return to power, and his uncle will be able to get what he wants!"
Xue Chongyun was overjoyed when he heard this, he thought that in that case, Li Jing had absolutely no chance of surviving, and it could be judged from the fact that the forbidden army was strictly guarding the Regent's Palace, and the imperial doctor hurriedly went to Li Jing for treatment!
As long as Emperor Li Xian can regain control of the imperial power, with this merit, his uncle Princess Taiping will be canonized as the princess of the protector, and her value will skyrocket!
It can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person, as the nephew of Princess Taiping, and he is the hero who helped the emperor regain his power this time, he will definitely get a rich reward from Emperor Li Xian, and there will be no problem even if he walks sideways in Chang'an City at that time.
Compared with Xue Chongyun's optimism, Princess Taiping's henchman Xiao Zhizhong has a different opinion: "I think it's too early to jump to conclusions now, and anything can happen without confirming that Li Jing is dead." ”
Xiao Zhizhong's words were like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the heat in Xue Chongyun's heart.
Princess Taiping nodded, agreeing with Xiao Zhizhong's words, before the target is determined to really die, don't be happy too early!
"Zhizhong is right, Yun'er, you go to the Regent's Mansion on my behalf to see what the situation is!"
Princess Taiping decided to send Xue Chongyun to the Regent's Mansion to find out about Li Jing's situation before she could decide on her next move, which was related to their net worth and life!
Xue Chongyun immediately got up and left, taking condolences to the regent palace.
Xue Chongyun came to the outside of the regent's mansion, which was already crowded with ministers from the court.
These people are all here to inquire about Li Jing's situation, as for how many people really care about Li Jing, or come to join in the fun, or to confirm whether Li Jing is dead or alive.
Xue Chongyun dismounted and walked towards the gate, but was immediately stopped by the forbidden army!
"Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping heard that the regent was assassinated, and specially ordered my master to come to visit, please let me know!"
Xue Chongyun's servant stepped forward, explained his intentions, and handed over the prayer post.
"The regent has an order, his noble health is not safe, and it is inconvenient to see guests!"
The forbidden army took the post and looked at it, handed it back, and stopped him outside the regent's palace and did not let him in, explaining that no one should be allowed to enter, not even a mosquito.
Xue Chongyun's servant was helpless and retreated to Xue Chongyun's side, Xue Chongyun turned over and rode around the Regent's Mansion to see if he could enter the palace.
The Regent's Mansion was heavily guarded, and there was no chance at all, Xue Chongyun saw that he couldn't enter the Regent's Mansion, so he left someone here to keep an eye on him, and he went back to tell Princess Taiping!
……
Inside the Regent's Palace.
Li Jing was sitting in the backyard when he saw a person trotting over.
"How's it going out there?"
Li Jing looked up at the other party.
The person who came was none other than Ximen Yang, the head of the palace, his confidant eunuch.
"Regent, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries outside, and even Princess Taiping's Mansion has sent people to greet you!"
Ximen Yang replied.
"I didn't expect my aunt to care so much about my nephew, who will be sent by Princess Taiping's Mansion to visit?"
Li Jing said with a smile.
Princess Taiping was very close to Li Xian in private, and secretly had an affair with Empress Wei, and as soon as she eradicated part of her power, he was assassinated by assassins on the street!
Now he sent someone over to inquire about his situation, and Li Jing listed Princess Taiping as the first suspect in his assassination!
"It's Xue Chongyun, a man from Yicheng County and a ranger general!"
Ximen Yang Road.
"Xue Chongyun! The son of the previous generation of Yicheng County male Xue Xu! I didn't expect him to be my aunt's person!"
Li Jing sneered.
To sum up, Xue Chongyun is also his relative of Li Jing, Xue Chongyun's grandfather Xue Qian is the son-in-law of Tang Taizong and the husband of Princess Chengyang.
Xue Xu is the second son of Xue Qian and Princess Chengyang, and is Li Jing's cousin, and Xue Chongyun is also his cousin.
Li Jing just didn't expect that such a low-key person as Xue Chongyun would also be involved!
Princess Taiping was able to send Xue Chongyun to inquire about the news, which deepened Li Jing's suspicion of Princess Taiping a little, and now he is waiting to collect evidence of Princess Taiping's assassination.
Xue Chongyun is quite honest, and this time he was able to be involved, most of it was because of Princess Taiping's coercion, and he had no choice but to get on Princess Taiping's thief ship.
If you can win Xue Chongyun over, are you afraid that you won't find evidence that Princess Taiping sent someone to assassinate him?
It's up to Xue Chongyun, this kid, if he can't get on the road, do you want to mix with yourself!
If Xue Chongyun is willing to mix with himself and turn into a tainted witness to identify Princess Taiping, after he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely not treat Xue Chongyun badly, how to say that the title should also be upgraded by one level, and it is not a problem to be promoted from a county man to a county man.
If Xue Chongyun is unwilling to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then he can only kill it directly, so that Xue Xu's vein will be completely cut off, so as not to make Xue Chongyun an eyesore!
Speaking of the power struggle between the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is actually a big chaos between relatives!
Many of the henchmen around Princess Taiping are Li Tang's royal family relatives and Li Jing's uncles and brothers!
This can be said to be a commonplace thing in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
"Regent, what are we going to do next?"
Ximen Yang asked.
"Today we are going to visit the dignitaries, turn them away, there will definitely be people who are unwilling and want to sneak in tonight, you go and inform them, relax a little tonight, and let a few of their people come in!"
Li Jing said, if you don't let outsiders know something, how can the other party feel at ease, of course, the news that the other party knows is what Li Jing wants them to know.
"The old slave understands!"
Ximen Yang comprehended, immediately understood what Li Jing meant, and bowed and retreated.
