Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2562 The Insidious Old Thief
Changsun Wuji got up from the bed, pushed his family members who were supporting him aside, and knelt down in front of Prince Li Chengqian with a "plop", crying hoarsely.

There is a white forehead wrapped around her head, which makes her look haggard. Her originally gray hair has become as white as frost and snow in just a few hours. The cry is pitiful.

Li Chengqian sighed in his heart. He always thought that this uncle was hard-hearted, scheming and vicious. Everything seemed to be inferior to the monstrous power in his eyes. For the sake of power, he would sacrifice everything he owned without blinking an eye, even including his own life.

Only now did I realize that when he forced his son to death, his heart ached too...

When Changsun Wuji cried like this, the family members behind him also knelt down, and the crying was loud and gloomy for a while.

Li Chengqian hurried forward, put his hands on Changsun Wuji's shoulders, and comforted him with gentle words: "Uncle, please express your condolences! It is said that everyone has his own destiny, and Erlang is destined to be doomed, so what can we ordinary people do? Having said that, Erlang made a big mistake that ruined the reputation of the eldest grandson family, and he was able to shoulder the heavy responsibility afterwards and wash away the shame of the eldest grandson family with his death.

Changsun Wuji cried a little...

motherfucker!

Listen, is this a human language?

The nobles of Guanlong have recognized it with their noses pinched, and dare not make irresponsible remarks, but you came here to remind the whole thing is the fault of the eldest grandson's family, even if my son died in vain? !
My heart was about to explode with anger, but my face was still full of grief: "Your Highness doesn't know, this matter is really a misunderstanding, those Guanlong disciples made a big mistake, everyone was terrified, and I don't know who escaped overnight Go to the city and abscond in fear of crime! But what was even more unexpected was that Fang Jun ordered the soldiers of Youtunwei to chase them out of the city overnight and severely injured the children of Guanlong, all of whom were disabled for life! A group of friends must bear the name of traitors, so death is used to prove their innocence... Please also ask Your Highness to learn from it and rectify Fang Jun's crime of using public weapons for private use and causing serious injuries!"

It is true that Changsun Huan died because of Fang Jun, but even though everyone knows these truths well, they cannot be brought to the table after all. The family is hated by all the Guanlong nobles.

But more than a dozen or twenty Guanlong children were all broken legs and disabled for life. This matter is a real thing. As long as they can bite to death, it is enough for Fang Jun to drink a pot.

You Tunwei is the elite guarding the capital, but now he obeys the commander's order to kill the children of the family in private, and treats the discipline of the French army as nothing. This is a big taboo!
Before Li Chengqian came here, he had already expected that someone would bring up this matter, so his face was sympathetic and sad, but his words were completely shirked: "I am sorry for the sorrow of my uncle's loss of a son, and I feel the same, but this matter is the result of Dali Temple and The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the East Palace alone, and has no right to intervene in the criminal laws of the country, let alone control the three courts, it is really helpless."

Sensing the prince's hand holding his shoulder slightly, trying to help him up, Changsun Wuji refused to get up, looked up at the prince with tears, and cried out sadly: "That Jun Fang is so powerful, Dali Temple and Qing are so powerful. All the Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment are friends with him. If there is no pressure from His Majesty and His Highness, they will inevitably cover up and favor others, and commit fraud. How could they be willing to punish Fang Jun! Could it be because Fang Jun has always been obedient, His Highness deliberately favored him, knowing that he committed a serious crime but still Indulge?"

Li Chengqian's face darkened immediately, and he let go of his hands supporting Changsun Wuji's shoulders, and slowly straightened up.

He does lack some political acumen, and he is not strictly a good political figure, and he knows this well.But the lack of political talent definitely does not mean that he is a fool, thinking that he can see through the sinister intentions of eldest grandson Wuji at a glance.

Changsun Wuji naturally knew that he would not be biased towards the eldest grandson's family no matter what, and now that Fang Jun was the mainstay in the prince's camp, it was too late to win him over, how could he agree to punish him?

Changsun Wuji wanted to use words to block him in the alley. As long as he interceded for Fang Jun even if there was only one word, Changsun Wuji, a "shame man", would be able to render it very good. It is "the prince appoints a private person, perverts the law and connives, is unfair, and does not look like a wise king"...

Even if it cannot shake its position as the crown prince, it can still slander his reputation——

Don't people all over the world spread word of mouth that the prince is upright and benevolent?Look at it, benevolence is really benevolent, but he is benevolent to his own hawks and claws, but indulges the obvious crimes wantonly, and refuses to punish him...

This form seems to be useless, but it is enough to make some people who are still waiting to see and refuse to take a clear line. Everyone will think that even if they join His Highness the Crown Prince at this time, if something happens, will the Crown Prince only protect him? The team members don't care about whether they are punished or not, and the rewards and punishments are clear?
The hit to his reputation would be huge.

This old man, where did I offend him? Not only did he bewitch his father Yi Chu several times, but he never stopped doing those little tricks in secret, and now he even wants to dig a hole for himself in person, which is simply unreasonable!
Do you really think that the prince is always modest and low-key, just a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch? !

With a sullen face, Li Chengqian looked down at the eldest grandson Wuji who was kneeling in front of him condescendingly, put his hands behind his back, straightened his waist, and said slowly: "Uncle, why do you have to force Yugu and trap him in an injustice? "

Changsun Wuji panicked and said: "Your Highness, I don't know what this old minister means?"

Li Chengqian said: "Gu is the prince of the Eastern Palace. He has neither the responsibility to supervise state affairs nor the power to supervise hundreds of officials. All criminal cases in the empire fall under the purview of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Isn’t this case equivalent to knowingly breaking the law and committing trespass? Where did my uncle put my father? But if I don’t do it alone, I will naturally feel guilty for Erlang’s soul in my heart, and I am afraid that my life will not be safe..."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "However, I know that my uncle has lost his beloved son and is in great chaos, so he unintentionally said such unfaithful words, and he will not care about them. It's just that these words will still be used in the future. It's better to say less, otherwise outsiders will think that uncle has no king and has ulterior motives."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room lowered their eyebrows and knelt there, not daring to say a word.

Have no eyes on the king and have ulterior motives?

Damn!Your Royal Highness, you really dare to say anything. It may be okay to leave it in someone else's family, but the eldest grandson's family has already produced an eldest grandson Chong who committed the crime of treason, and his loyalty has long been suspected by the world. Having said that, hasn't the eldest grandson's family become a nest of unfaithful, unkind, unfilial rebels?

If it were a different emperor like Sui Yang who murdered without batting an eyelid, he might be able to kill the entire eldest grandson's family because of this...

Changsun Wuji is not very afraid. The current situation is not only Guan Long's unwillingness to openly intensify the conflict with the royal family, but even His Majesty Li Er, who has always been staunch, has always maintained restraint. The two sides tacitly want to continue this period of stability. At least there will be no major changes before the Eastern Expedition.

Even if the eldest grandson's family were to perish in the future, they would not be killed by the whole family, leaving no one behind, nor would they be accused of "rebels" and become eternal sinners.

It's not that Changsun Wuji has too much confidence in his plan, but because the Changsun family once had a Queen Wende...

Young and young couples stay together for half their lives, confidantes are hard to find, Yin and Yang are separated.

Just like the poem Fang Jun once wrote to His Majesty Li Er: Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, never forgetting...

No one can replace Empress Wende's position in His Majesty Li Er's mind. Currently, Zhaoling is still under construction, but His Majesty Li Er has added some funeral objects in the underground palace from time to time, so that he can be with him when he rests here in the future. The Queen Bonaventure reunion is ready.

Throughout the ages, it is really unique for an emperor to be able to be so obsessed with his wife and never leave her life and death.

His Majesty Li Er has such deep affection for Empress Wende, how could he allow the eldest grandson's family to bear the infamy of a "national thief" and tarnish the reputation of Empress Wende?
Therefore, he just lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "I don't dare to have such sinister intentions, please forgive me, Your Highness."
