Chapter 198: Something Isn't Right!
It really sounds ridiculous.
Wang Ye's heart was cloudy, and he felt that the current situation in the capital was not simple.
When he left Beijing, he had actually heard rumors about this, and many places were saying that there were people who had already died.
When he arrived in Liuzhou, he saw Chen Qing's methods, and it was not uncommon for the dead to appear again, after all, Liuzhou is now on the street, if the spiritual eyes are opened, there are dead ghosts everywhere, and Zhou Haitao, who is in charge of Liuzhou's government affairs, is still playing chess and drinking tea with the dead man in Liuzhou from time to time.
But this time it seems to be different from Chen Qing's.
The old butler who was talking to him at noon just now didn't feel anything when he was together just now, but at this time, after the people around him mentioned that he was a dead man, for some reason, a creepy feeling came to his heart, and he had a feeling of being targeted by something cruel.
After Wei Chi Feichu led him into the middle courtyard, he saw that familiar face from a distance.
As before, this guy likes to drink and brag with some of his subordinates when he is free, and before the feast has even begun, a group of people are already drunk and red-faced, and they can smell alcohol from a few meters away.
"Eh, Wang Ye?" Yu Chipeng suddenly sat up happily: "Why are you here?" Didn't you go to Gangnam? β
The surrounding generals obviously knew the relationship between Wang Ye and Yu Chipeng, and hurriedly moved out of a position.
Yu Chi Fei saluted and was about to leave, but Yu Chi Peng also beckoned: "Fei Fei, it's rare to come back, don't keep busy, come over and drink, and let the next person do other things." β
"Yes, sir." Wei Chi Fei still saluted as usual, and then found an inconspicuous position to sit down.
Yu Chipeng glanced at him, muttered: boring, and then looked at Wang Ye again: "Brother, when did you come back?" β
"Just came back today." Wang Ye smiled: "I was looking for you for something, but I came here to find out that it was your birthday, but it was the fault of the younger brother that he forgot your birthday." β
"What's this!" Wei Chipeng waved his hand indifferently: "If the family doesn't tell me, I forgot about it, someone reminded me, I will set up a table for everyone to be lively, when I was a general soldier outside, no one reminded me, didn't the day pass like that?" β
"Wei Gongcheng shouldn't miss your birthday, right?" Wang Ye said with a smile.
Yu Chipeng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, that guy Gongcheng is careful, he has never forgotten my birthday, and he can make me and my brothers have fun every time" When he said this, he looked at the other party: "You went to Jiangnan, can you see Gongcheng?" How is he now? Now that there is such a big thing in Jiangnan, he is not affected, right? β
"He's doing well." Wang Ye smiled: "I don't know how much better it is than following you." β
"Fart!" Yu Chipeng suddenly glanced at the other party: "It's not that you are so comforting, right?" He has inconvenient legs now, where can he go? β
Talking and talking, but he didn't continue, the other party's legs were inconvenient, but he couldn't settle the other party well, and as a result, Chen Qing's kid abducted people, and when he talked about it, his heart was still a little stuffy.
Wang Ye was immediately amused when he saw this, he really didn't lie, Wei Gongcheng is really comfortable now, he saw each other twice when he went to Liuzhou, he can see that the current Wei Gongcheng is obviously more satisfied with his life than before, and he has a confident smile on his face at any time, which is completely different from the humble smile before, it is a feeling of youthful spirit.
This kind of emotion has known Wei Chi for more than ten years, and he has never seen it in Wei Gongcheng before.
But also, now Wei Gongcheng is in charge of a city of Yin in Liuzhou, millions of Yin Souls are under his management, an unprecedented underworld is created by him, this kind of thing sounds more rewarding than giving a hand to a certain Hanhan.
This can be seen from the fact that the other party can talk and laugh with the third master of the Shen family, in the past, Wei Gongcheng faced a warlock like himself with some humility, which is like now?
"By the way, you're back from Jiangnan, has the matter been resolved?" Yu Chipeng asked curiously.
Wang Ye frowned and looked at the other party when he heard this, Wei Chipeng's position is not low, and his identity is also the position of the national prince, but he doesn't know the current situation in Jiangnan?
After thinking about it, Wang Ye said: "The situation is not very optimistic. β
"Not optimistic yet?" Yu Chipeng suddenly became anxious: "How is it possible?" The team led by the Duke of Qin, followed by the woman cough cough, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess brought the Golden Dragon Guard to support, this formation is enough to sweep away the clouds, right? Is Jiangnan really that tricky? β
Saying that, his hands are itching, and he is actually like a big job.
"It's that simple." Wang Ye's eyes flashed inexplicably, and he shook his head quietly: "By the way, I still want to ask, why is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess leading the team?" I thought you were going to lead the team. β
"I think" Yu Chipeng buckled his head: "But the capital has not been peaceful recently, several palace concubines have died tragically in the palace, Your Majesty has held accountable the great warcists in charge of the palace array, and even my father has been punished, my Wei Chi family is responsible for the safety of the capital, and now of course I can't get out." β
"The tragic death of the palace concubine?" Wang Ye was stunned: "Which palace concubine?" β
Yu Chipeng looked around, pulled Wang Ye to the inner room, the two found a place to sit down, and Yu Chipeng lowered his voice and said: "A lot, Li Guifei, Dong Guifei, Xiao Guifei"
"Concubine Dong?" Wang Ye's heart froze: "Princess Yong'an's mother also had an accident?" β
"Well, a miserable death." Yu Chipeng lowered his voice and said: "It is said that it is unrecognizable, Princess Yong'an was directly scared and seriously ill, and she has not appeared in the palace for a month, if Chen Qing can come back, I am afraid that she will have to go to see people first."
Wang Ye was silent, Princess Yong'an is not a royal girl worthy of attention, if it wasn't for the emperor's temporary arrangement to Chen Qing, her fate should be the same as other princesses, marrying into the ancient wilderness, now such a strange thing has happened in the palace, the emperor can't even keep the palace concubine, Yong'an's situation is worrying.
I don't know if Chen Qing attaches great importance to this fiancΓ©e, do you want to talk to him?
Pressing this matter to his heart, Wang Ye asked again: "But even so, the best person to lead the team should be the Hong family, why. Will it suddenly be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess out of the mountain? β
"I don't know." Wei Chipeng shook his head: "Anyway, the holy decree was issued like that, conveyed by the palace grand warcist Hou Jie, and the military department Shangshu and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess led the army to support, although this decision was a bit abrupt, and the candidates were also convinced, but for such a big matter, His Majesty did not hold a meeting in person, and there were indeed some discussions." β
"Your Majesty still hasn't gone to court?" Wang Ye felt more and more that something was not quite right.
When he was in the capital, His Majesty had not been to the court for a long time, and now for such a big matter, he actually went to the court to discuss it with the courtiers.
"Don't talk about the incident in Jiangnan, there is such a big incident in the north this time, Your Majesty didn't show up, it was all sent by the warlock of the inner court!"
"I'm afraid this is not very in line with the rules, don't the courtiers have any opinions?"
"Of course there are opinions, but what can be done if Your Majesty doesn't show up?" Wei Chigong smiled bitterly: "It's impossible for a courtier to rush to the palace, right?" β
"What's going on up to the north?" Wang Ye thought for a while and asked.
"I don't know the specifics." Wei Chipeng also had a strange face: "The rebellious Wei Guogong, you also know, like our Wei Chi family, they are all families who have followed the Xiao family for many years, and they are very trusted by Your Majesty, otherwise they would not hand over the important towns of the northern border army to him to take care of, then the army in the north is the strongest Flying Dragon Guard in my Great Jin!" β
Wang Ye nodded, although the emperor is not very authentic in many times, he trusts the vassal family very much, but this time, the Duke of Wei rebelled bizarrely, and the emperor suppressed it very casually, and he didn't show his face directly, and sent a bunch of Guogong to go.
"What about Wei Guogong's family?"
"It has been taken into custody and has not been dealt with for the time being"
"It's getting more and more wrong" Wang Ye looked at Yu Chipeng: "Have you seen Your Majesty?" β
"Yes." Wei Chipeng nodded, I need to go to see Your Majesty in person for several major palace defense adjustments, but Your Majesty's state is very strange.
"Weird?"
"Well, the face is very thin, and it seems that he has not yet come out of the blow of the queen mother, and when I talk to His Majesty, it usually takes two or three repetitions before His Majesty responds, feeling." Wei Chipeng didn't know what to say for a while: "Your Majesty. It seems to be old. β
Wang Ye: "."
Old?
When you forced your teacher to death a year ago, you were so majestic, old?
Wang Ye sneered, he didn't believe it at all, as for saying that he hadn't come out of the queen's sorrow, it was even more nonsense, is the emperor such a long-term person?
If it were, the Fox-Faced Fox would have died a long time ago!!
can let go of the murderer of his wife, a cold heart of the son of heaven is colder than ice, will he not come out of the shadow of the queen?
It's ridiculous!
"I remember Wei Guogong, when I left, it seemed that he was still in the capital, right?"
"Yes!" Wei Chipeng nodded: "At that time, Wei Guogong was recalled by His Majesty to report on his work, it is said that he wanted Wei Guogong to come back to retire and let his eldest son Wei Jiancheng take his place. β
"But not long after you left, Wei Guogong suddenly hurriedly took his own soldiers out of the capital, and then there was a rebellion in the north, the eldest princess took the initiative to ask Ying to quell the rebellion, which was rejected, followed by the Hong family and several other Guogong led the team to the north to quell the rebellion, and after a few days, for some reason, His Majesty suddenly decided to increase the troops in Jiangnan and handed over the remaining Jin Longwei!"
"At that time, we didn't think it was normal, but That's what Your Majesty wanted!"
Wang Ye's expression was extremely solemn after hearing this.
Wrong. Something is wrong!
Wei Guogong, obviously returned to Beijing after being edicted, why did he suddenly decide to rebel? If you want to rebel in the first place, you shouldn't have entered the capital, so what's the point of coming to the capital?
It's more like a temporary decision to rebel.
The eldest princess asked for a counterinsurgency and was not allowed, but at the critical time of countering the rebellion in the north, she gave the only remaining defense force in the capital to the eldest princess?
This is not normal, normally speaking, shouldn't there be some soldiers left to watch the situation?
After all, Jiangnan has not asked for help from beginning to end, and when the battle situation in the north is unknown, shouldn't it be more reasonable for Jin Longwei to stay in the capital to support according to the situation?
This capital. What's going on?
That emperor. What's going on?
