Chapter 308: Eldest Sun Chong's choice, arrest Fang Yuan
After Li Chengqian saw the situation on the bed, his brain went blank.
The mattress was tossed, the clothes were messy, and there were blood-red stains.
All of them indicate that there was a grand battle between men and women just now.
Du Miaoyan also saw this scene, sighed in her heart, and ordered others not to approach, and went in to cover the quilt for Su Ziqing.
When she got closer, Du Miaoyan found that there were tears in the corners of Su Ziqing's eyes, and it was very likely that she had woken up just now.
But there was no way to think too much about this, and Du Miaoyan left after covering the quilt.
It was not only the room that left, but also the inn.
Li Chengqian didn't speak, and closed the door after entering the room.
He stared at the window, at Du Miaoyan in the distance, and at the people coming and going in Chang'an City.
After a long time, Li Chengqian walked out of the room.
"Guarding the room."
"Unless Miss Su comes out by herself, no one is allowed to go in, it's anyone."
Li Chengqian confessed expressionlessly.
The guards of the East Palace should be respectful and dare not have any slackness.
After Li Chengqian left, he did not return to the East Palace, but went to Zongzheng Temple.
"The ministers meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zongzheng Temple greeted Li Chengqian's arrival.
"Excuse me!"
"The eldest grandson Chong stayed, and the others were busy."
Li Chengqian said expressionlessly.
Everyone present didn't think much about it, and they didn't dare to have any opinions, so they retreated one after another, leaving only Changsun Chong alone.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and invited Li Chengqian to his office.
However, he found that he couldn't pull Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian stood there coldly.
At this time, Changsun Chong realized that today's Li Chengqian was different from the past.
"What's wrong?"
The eldest grandson asked in a low voice.
"Something's wrong!"
Li Chengqian said with a calm face.
"Come to my office."
"It's a place where people come and go, and it's not convenient to talk."
The eldest grandson said in a deep voice.
He was worried that Li Chengqian would not leave with him, so he gave him an explanation.
In this way, Li Chengqian rushed to his office with his eldest grandson.
"Father suspects that I want to play tricks on him!"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"Even if you doubt the world, it is impossible to suspect you."
Eldest Sun Chong was greatly surprised.
Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and the future of the world is his, and he wants to do something to his own clan?
If this kind of thing is true, the entire clan will impeach Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian will not be allowed to succeed to the throne smoothly.
"I explained, but my father didn't seem to believe it."
Li Chengqian shook his head and said.
"Who sued?"
The eldest grandson rushed back and forth, and then asked.
can make the emperor suspect Li Chengqian, and still don't believe it after Li Chengqian's explanation, the identity of the other party is not simple.
A person with that status would not casually report something without evidence, so Changsun Chong couldn't think of anyone for a while.
"Medicine King Sun Simiao and Fang Yuan!"
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Medicine King?"
"And Fang Yuan?"
Eldest Sun Chong suddenly exclaimed.
He stared at Li Chengqian in surprise, with suspicion in his eyes in disbelief.
He knew Fang Yuan a little, although he knew that there was some discord with Li Chengqian, but he was mainly unwilling to take refuge in Li Chengqian.
To say that Fang Yuan wronged Li Chengqian, that is a bit unreasonable.
There is also Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, such a heavyweight, even His Majesty has to pay three points of courtesy when he sees him, can he use it to wronged Li Chengqian?
Facing the strange gaze of Changsun Chong, Li Chengqian only had a hum sound.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Eldest Sun Chong looked at Li Chengqian deeply, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
"I want you to arrest Fang Yuan in the name of Zongzheng Temple, and I will give you the charge later."
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
The most terrifying thing about Zongzheng Temple is that as long as there is a crime, even if it is a prince, he can take off a layer of skin.
Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't bring down Fang Yuan, but it was still okay to let Fang Yuan suffer.
"Prince, tell me honestly, are you real?"
Instead of agreeing immediately, Changsun Chong asked.
But he didn't ask completely, because there were too many shocks to ask.
To all the members of the royal family, how dare Li Chengqian do such a thing, or the Li Chengqian he knows?
"Yes."
Li Chengqian knew what Changsun Chong wanted to ask.
He didn't hide it, but looked at Eldest Sun Chong with a burning heart.
He wanted to see how the eldest grandson Chong, who had always supported him the most, would choose when he was faced with a choice?
"How so?"
The eldest grandson staggered and took two steps back.
He was mentally prepared, but he was still hit hard.
If you want to play tricks on all the royal family, what are you trying to do, rebel?
"Help me?"
Li Chengqian got up, stared at Changsun Chong and said.
"Help, help you what?"
Eldest Sun Chong trembled a little for a while.
"Help me catch Fang Yuan!"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
"So that's it."
"Why do you want to arrest Fang Yuan?"
"He's just guessing at best."
The eldest grandson Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
He also thought that Li Chengqian was asking himself to help him rebel, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it.
I was relieved to learn that it was to catch Fang Yuan, but I felt that something was wrong, after all, what was the use of catching Fang Yuan?
Li Chengqian also said just now, the emperor is just suspicious, that is to say, there is no evidence, what is the use of arresting Fang Yuan without evidence?
"He caused it!"
"If it weren't for him, the plan wouldn't have failed!"
"If it weren't for him, things wouldn't be the way they are!"
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't use it."
Li Chengqian's eyes became cold, and he thought a lot.
In the end, he wanted to say that if it weren't for Fang Yuan, Su Ziqing would still be innocent.
Now that Fang Yuan has ruined Su Ziqing, he can't expose the matter, so he can only endure it as if nothing happened.
There is only one consequence if nothing happens, and that is to marry a dirty woman who has been played with by Fang Yuan.
"Then it won't help you to retaliate like this, you'll just be caught."
"And"
The eldest grandson said with a sad face.
"And what?"
Li Chengqian's face sank, and he said in a deep voice.
"And I have multiple business cooperation with Fang Yuan."
"It's too unwise to retaliate against him like this, isn't it?"
The eldest grandson said in a sneer.
He secretly looked at Li Chengqian, and could find that Li Chengqian's face became more ugly with the naked eye.
But even so, Changsun Chong can't be rash.
If Fang Yuan has nothing to do with him, then he will directly act for Li Chengqian.
But the shares of Bafang Group have something to do with themselves, and a lot of money is recorded every quarter.
This kind of relationship, in order to get out of the bad breath to destroy the point, is really . The brain was hit stupid by tofu.
"You don't want to help me?"
Li Chengqian said with a hideous face.
The person he thought was most likely to help him refused to help him?
"No, Prince, it's not that I don't want to help you."
"It's that I think it's very irrational to retaliate against Fang Yuan like this."
Changsun Chong hurriedly explained.
As Li Chengqian's cousin, Changsun Chong felt that his interests and Li Chengqian's interests were closely linked.
In the face of most things, Changsun Chong will be on Li Chengqian's side.
It is also for the treatment of Li Chengqian after he becomes emperor in the future.
"Since you want to, don't say anything irrational and do it!"
Li Chengqian forced.
It was because of his sanity that he suffered Fang Yuan's losses again and again.
Reason is useless, if you should teach Fang Yuan a lesson, you should teach Fang Yuan a lesson.
As for the interests of the Octagon Group, Li Chengqian had no share, and he didn't know how much, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"I can do it, but I have a few questions to ask."
The eldest grandson opened his mouth.
Looking at Li Chengqian's face, he didn't dare to refuse directly.
Some refusals will affect the relationship between the two and affect their status in Li Chengqian's heart.
"You ask."
Li Chengqian's face looked a little better.
But he still kept a straight face, as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
"First question!"
"Normally, the three divisions are not allowed to try the officials of the fourth grade, and the Zongzheng Temple is special, but in essence, it has no right to judge the officials of the fourth grade."
"If Your Majesty wants a reason, and the ministers want a reason, how should Your Highness deal with it?"
The eldest grandson said in a deep voice.
Although Li Chengqian said just now that he would give him a reason afterwards.
But Changsun Chong was unwilling, he wanted to know the reason now.
On the premise that there is no good reason, he is to make a commotion, and he refuses to do it.
"Let's just say that the news is wrong!"
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
"An official of the fourth grade was arrested with a mistake in the news?"
Changsun Chong looked at each other as if he was seeing Li Chengqian for the first time.
This really doesn't look like Li Chengqian who he knows, he completely wants to protect Fang Yuan.
But such a revenge, cool is cool, have you ever considered that it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath in the future?
"Even if the three divisions will be triaged, there will be times when things go wrong."
"This palace is the crown prince, if you make a mistake but you are impeached, can you still be abolished?"
Li Chengqian said coldly.
It is lame to stay, but the reason for being lame is also a reason.
I just want to protect Fang Yuan, teach him a lesson, let out a bad breath, and then slowly target it later.
"Well, it's not that no, second question."
"If Your Majesty doesn't allow me to marry Changle because of this incident, what do you say?"
The eldest grandson said in a deep voice.
Marrying Princess Changle is the strategy of the eldest grandson's family.
But after the misfortune of Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui, Princess Changle seems to have changed a little and seems to resist marrying herself.
In the past, when the two were alone, she was quite close to herself, and she would not care too much about whether men and women were intimate or not.
But after that, she seemed to have a feeling that she was going to hide from herself.
It is possible that Princess Changle has really grown up.
It's also possible that she has an opinion about herself.
If she has an opinion, what if she does something wrong, and she takes the opportunity to propose to stop the marriage?
"Don't worry, my father won't."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.
Marrying Princess Changle to Changsun Chong has the meaning of political marriage.
The eldest grandson's family in Datang, in addition to the five surnames and seven wangs, can be said to be the first family.
The emperor wants to stabilize his power, so marrying the eldest grandson is the best choice, and it will not be terminated.
"I said what if."
Changsun Chong emphasized.
"If that's the case, I'll speak for you."
Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.
"Prince, I'm done with my question."
"I'm sorry, I can't personally send troops to arrest Fang Yuan."
"But I can give my permission to be the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, you can catch Fang Yuan."
Eldest Sun Chong took a deep breath and sighed.
He was quite satisfied with Li Chengqian's answer, but it was inadequate.
Because if Princess Changle really doesn't want to marry herself, then Li Chengqian can only speak for herself, and he can't do anything else.
This is a fact, it is the best that Li Chengqian can do, but it is not what Changsun Chong wants.
"Eldest Sun Chong, are you treating me like this?"
Li Chengqian's eyes became ugly, and suddenly became sharp.
He came to Changsun Chong because he trusted Changsun Chong the most.
In addition to wanting revenge, he also wants to see the attitude of the eldest grandson Chong towards him, and see if he can get a new one if he rebels.
But obviously, Changsun Chong's reaction made him understand that if he wanted to rebel, he definitely couldn't find Changsun Chong, because he lacked nothing.
Because as long as the eldest grandson Chong is safe and lives happily, everything will be fine.
"Your Highness, am I still bad for you?"
Eldest Sun Chong sighed.
I have to think a lot about myself, not just avenge Li Chengqian.
It is necessary to consider the relationship of interests between himself and Fang Yuan, and to consider whether it will affect Princess Changle's marriage.
There are others
It was cool for him to avenge Li Chengqian, but the final problem may be transferred to himself.
"Not bad."
Li Chengqian finally spit out only two words.
"This is my token, please let Your Highness decide for yourself."
Changsun Chong placed a token on his body on the table.
He saluted Li Chengqian, and then walked out, pretending not to know about it.
If Li Chengqian used his token to mobilize Zongzheng Temple and caused an accident, he said that he didn't know when he lost his token.
The eldest grandson rushed away.
Li Chengqian looked at the token on the table, and his eyes became terrifying.
He became short of breath and sometimes fell into a state of madness.
In the end, Li Chengqian took the token of Changsun Chong and left.
Not long after, a law enforcement team from Zongzheng Temple was mobilized and left.
And after this law enforcement team left, Changsun Chong returned from other places.
As if he didn't know anything, he went straight back to his office.
As the eldest son of the official secretary, the eldest grandson Chong also has privileges in Zongzheng Temple, and no one will generally disturb him.
Therefore, no one came over to routinely interrogate Changsun Chong why he mobilized a law enforcement team to leave.
The other side.
After Fang Yuan left the inn, he returned to Fang Mansion.
The first time I returned to Fangfu was to let people prepare wine and food, and eat and drink.
I was as tired as a cow just now, and now I urgently need to replenish my nutrition.
Just now, Sun Simiao passed by.
"Doctor Sun, what kind of medicine did you give me, it didn't work at all, I almost couldn't come back!"
Fang Yuan complained.
I can't wait to punch Sun Simiao.
But looking at his age, it is estimated that he can't stand his punch, so he gives up.
"What do you mean by that?"
"My medicine can cure at least 100 kinds of poisons, and almost all of them can be said by name."
Sun Simiao was very puzzled.
"Charming medicine!"
"I almost didn't come back!"
Fang Yuan said hatefully.
But thinking of Su Ziqing, I couldn't help but feel a lot of hatred.
"Wow, it's a kitsch!"
"Charm medicine is not poison, naturally there is no solution."
"Seeing that your kid can come back safely, is he enjoying the blessings?"
Sun Simiao looked like this.
He immediately sat down in front of Fang Yuan and looked at Fang Yuan with a wicked smile.
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes, and was about to scold him a few words.
But Du Miaoyan hurried back from outside.
"Fang Yuan, Zongzheng Temple wants to arrest people!"
