As soon as Hua Rong came to Jiang Yunhua's side with water, Jiang Yunhua opened his eyes.

He was alert, and immediately reached to his waist to take the sword.

The movement was too big and affected the wound on his chest, and his brows were furrowed in pain.

He didn't make a sound, but the bulging tendons on his forehead showed what kind of pain he was suffering.

"It's safe here, don't move."

Hua Rong said and put the sword standing next to Jiang Yunhua in his hand.

Hearing her voice, Jiang Yunqi's brows stretched a little, and he quickly looked at the surrounding environment.

They were in a dilapidated wooden hut with a fire and porridge boiling in the stove, which had been boiled and made a gurgling sound and the smell of rice overflowed.

The door was open, and two people stood outside.

Noticing his gaze, Hua Rong explained gently: "They are from the Wei family, and I asked them to help bring you here." ”

Hua Rong didn't eat well all the way, and he was so weak that he couldn't move Jiang Yunhua at all, if he tossed too hard, Jiang Yunhua might not be able to wake up.

Jiang Yunqi looked at the two of them for a while longer, and then withdrew his gaze.

Hua Rong continued: "After the assassination, the envoys did not continue to advance, but returned to Chenzhou. ”

Jiang Yunhua's expression was calm after hearing this, and he was not surprised.

Flowers droop their eyes.

Sure enough, Jiang Yunhua was not completely unguarded by this knife, he took advantage of the situation, he wanted to see how many forces were involved, and after his accident, what plans the people behind the scenes had.

In the evening, the Wei family brought the doctor to the wooden house.

Before, Hua Rong touched the wound treated by the gangster Jiang Yunhua, and it was very rough bandaged.

The doctor untied the strip of cloth wrapped around the wound, and asked Jiang Yunhua to take off his shirt, and when the wound was all revealed, the doctor couldn't help but whisper.

"Childe, is this being hunted down by the enemy? This person stabbed Childe once and twisted it twice, and the attack was too ruthless, if Childe was stabbed in the heart, I am afraid he would have died long ago. ”

The wound had not yet scabbed, and when it was cleaned up, blood gushed again, and Jiang Yunqi's face turned two points white.

Jiang Yunhua didn't answer, glanced at the doctor, and seemed to think that he was talking too much.

The doctor was also afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly shut up and bandaged his head.

——

At the same time, Hanjing, thousands of miles away.

A carrier pigeon flew into the Jingyang Hou Mansion.

After Wei Yingchen finished reading the letter, he burned the letter paper, and swept the paper ashes into the incense burner to cover it.

As soon as he had done this, the prince arrived.

Wei Yingchen calmly dusted off his sleeves and went to the courtyard to greet him: "I saw His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come late at night, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness!" ”

The prince helped Wei Yingchen falsely: "It's the palace's fault for harassing late at night, how can the palace blame Yingchen." ”

As they spoke, the two entered the house together, the prince naturally sat down in front of the table, and Wei Yingchen stood aside respectfully and ordered someone to serve tea.

The crown prince interrupted Wei Yingchen: "Don't bother, the palace is here tonight, I just want to open my heart and say a few words to Yingchen." ”

Wei Yingchen bowed his head and made a deaf look.

The crown prince didn't go around the bush either, and said straight to the point: "After the assassination of King An, the opinions of the ministers of the court and the central government on the palace became bigger and bigger, but the Marquis of Jingyang said that he was sick at home and did not express his attitude, and the palace wanted to know what the Wei family meant. ”

Before the Wei family was wiped out, the controversy between the court and the crown prince was very great, as soon as King An had an accident, many people felt that the prince was too cruel, not only cruel to the courtiers, but also his siblings and brothers refused to let go, not only the courtiers, many literati and students wrote articles criticizing the ancestral system, and insinuated that the prince was not worthy.

In the past two months, the prince felt like he had been roasted on the fire, and the taste was really uncomfortable.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Wei family is only proficient in business affairs, and knows nothing about court politics, although the emperor has blessed him with the title of marquis, but he does not dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts, but His Royal Highness can rest assured, no matter what, the Wei family is loyal to Zhaoling."

Wei Yingchen said and bowed his hand, his tone and posture looked very humble and sincere, but what he said made the prince very dissatisfied.

The crown prince simply said more clearly: "This palace naturally believes that the Wei family is loyal to Zhaoling, but what this palace asks is whether the Wei family is full of resentment against the prince of this palace like everyone else, and thinks that King An is more suitable to sit on the throne than this palace!" ”

Since Emperor Showa was seriously ill, the crown prince acted more and more arbitrarily, and several courtiers with relatively low official positions were used by him as a punching bag to raid their homes, and now everyone in the court is in danger.

After the prince finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became condensed, and Wei Yingchen's back was pressed even lower, still in an official tone: "Your Royal Highness overestimates Wei Mou, the Wei family does not dare to meddle in the affairs of the royal family, and since ancient times, there has been a rule that the elder is not virtuous, as long as this rule is not abolished one day, no one else will sit on the throne of the prince, right?" ”

"What if this rule is abolished?"

The prince asked, a little impatient in his heart.

He asked Wei Yingchen to give the answer he wanted directly, and he didn't want to talk like this.

Wei Yingchen raised his head and looked at the prince in surprise: "This is a rule set by the ancestral emperor, how can it be easily abolished?" ”

This person was talking nonsense all around, and the prince's patience ran out, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "Wei Yingchen! ”

"Wei is stupid, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, and I ask His Royal Highness to make it clear."

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, the prince said coldly: "Now there is a lot of controversy between the court and the central government over the palace, and the palace needs the support of the Wei family to wipe out those rebellious ministers and thieves who have abolished the prince of their father!" ”

When he said this, the prince's expression was gloomy and full of murderous aura.

He was fed up with the insults and accusations, and just wanted to eradicate dissidents and leave behind those who supported him.

Wei Yingchen was not surprised, thought for a moment and said, "Does the chaotic ministers and thieves that Your Highness said mean Taifu and Yong'an Hou?" ”

The crown princess had suffered too many grievances before, Yong'an Hou, who was the father-in-law, was not used to the prince at all, and the prince, as the prince's teacher, was even more disappointed in him.

But these two people have a very high status among the literati and writers, and if the prince moves them, he is afraid that he will be poked to death by the pen of the world.

The prince smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Yue and the teacher are just confused for a while, and this palace doesn't blame them, but King An deliberately played a bitter trick and framed this palace to mutilate his siblings, and this palace can no longer tolerate his presumptuousness." ”

Now that the envoys are stranded in Chenzhou, if there is something in Beijing, Jiang Yunyang and Jiang Yunfei cannot lead their troops back, and it is the best time for the prince to deal with King An.

Wei Yingchen followed the prince's words and said: "But this case is being investigated by Uncle Zhongyong and Dali Temple, and it has not yet been concluded, how does His Highness know that King An is deliberate?" ”

"Uncle Zhongyong can't find out because he wants to shield Jiang Yunhua, there is already conclusive evidence in the hands of this palace, now it depends on how Yingchen chooses."

The prince raised his eyebrows after speaking, full of danger.

The Wei family's roots in Hanjing are not deep, and they are businessmen, in the eyes of the prince, they are soft persimmons that can be handled, and the prince has a way to force Wei Yingchen to hand over the family property.

After a moment of stalemate, Wei Yingchen arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and the Wei family is willing to use all their wealth to support His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The crown prince was finally satisfied, but just in case, he still brought the Marquis of Jingyang's wife Ruan back to the palace as a hostage.
