Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2981 Panic
Checking accounts is nothing more than precise and meticulous. With the abilities of Chai Zhewei and Xin Maojiang, let alone a Zuo Tunwei, even if it is any of the six departments, give them enough time. Even a little fault can be found out.

But the problem now is that even if something is found out, the prince's soft temper can't bear it, and he is not allowed to target Chai Zhewei, what should I do?

Fang Jun has a big head.

Li Tai also felt that this matter was very difficult. It was necessary to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and restrain Zuo Tunwei, but also to control the influence within a certain range, so that Chai Zhewei would not be burdened with serious crimes. In anger, he seized the title...

Then he said softly: "This king knows that this matter is against the rules, but my aunt's kindness is still there yesterday. How can my brother see her flesh and blood being taken away by Guo and reduced to mortal world? This king and the crown prince will definitely remember Erlang's friendship." , I will report it later."

Fang Jun sighed and said: "Your Highness said so, how can I not obey? It's just that for the stability of Guanzhong, the Zuo Tunwei must be restrained, and the Weichen will naturally control the scale of the matter, but if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of it. , if this matter is out of control, please don't blame Wei Chen for not being able to keep his promise."

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but straighten his back, frowned and looked at Fang Jun, and asked slowly, "Erlang, is there any secret behind it?"

He even told the royal secret that he wanted Fang Jun to accept the favor, but Fang Jun still insisted on his attitude, which could be explained not only by personal grievances, but also simply for the sake of stability in Guanzhong. up.

There must be something important that Fang Jun hasn't said yet, which makes him want to hit Chai Zhewei severely even if he doesn't care about the face of himself as a prince or even a prince...

Although Fang Er is a stickler, he has never been cruel, which is worthy of his suspicion.

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "It's better for Your Highness not to know about some things. When you don't know, you are open-minded, and others can't find any faults, but once you know, you will inevitably be afraid, and it is not a good thing."

Li Tai was silent.

After a long while, he said: "Erlang has his own sense of discretion. If it is really necessary to target Chai Zhewei, then I have nothing to say. Although I respect my aunt, I can't bear her flesh and blood to be robbed of her title and reduced to the mortal world, but I can't make my father the king." However, Erlang still has to think about how to report this matter to the crown prince, the crown prince's temperament... I am afraid that he may not approve of you."

Fang Jun nodded: "It's worthless for me."

Although Li Tai was a bit narrow-minded and cold-hearted, his decisiveness in killing was far better than that of Li Chengqian's indecision and benevolence.

After thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "The humble minister will retire for the time being, and go to the Crown Prince's side to inquire about it."

Li Tai knew that he was very concerned about this matter, so he didn't want to keep him. He stood up and saw him off, and said solemnly: "No matter what the crown prince thinks, I hope Erlang can make the stability of Guanzhong a priority. There have been changes...unimaginable."

Fang Jun bowed and saluted: "I've made a note of this, so I'll take my leave."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

"His Royal Highness stay."

……

After leaving the Hibiscus Garden, I realized that the dark clouds in the sky were gradually piling up, and it seemed that another heavy rain was about to fall.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the continuous rain at the critical moment of spring plowing is a great joy, but Fang Jun is not even half happy in his heart.

He really did not expect that the relationship between the Chai family brothers and the royal family would be so deeply involved...

However, Zuo Tunwei must be restricted, otherwise it is very likely to become an extremely unstable factor in Guanzhong. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.

Taking a deep breath, he rode back to the imperial city with his troops, and rushed to the government office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to meet Prince Li Chengqian.

*****
Chai Zhewei came out of the Furong Garden with a gloomy expression, as if water was about to drip.

He is panicking now, what face is not important at all, if this disaster can be eliminated, let alone being insulted by Fang Jun, even if he is stepped on his face and rubbed on the ground, so what?

I know my own family affairs, Zuo Tunwei is full of dignitaries and descendants of aristocratic families, in order to maintain his prestige in Zuo Tunwei, he treats these people quite tolerantly, and these generals and schools under him usually withhold food, money, money, ink and armaments. If not, in order to achieve the purpose of winning people's hearts, in fact, he himself is not greedy.

But the problem is that once the account books are checked out, who will believe that Chai Zhewei is innocent?

In fact, it is one of the great crimes to connive at subordinates who are greedy for money...

Once it is completely exposed, I am afraid that His Majesty who is far away in Liaodong will be furious. It may not be possible to be exiled into the army, but it is almost certain that the Duke of Qiao's title will be demoted.

For the aristocratic families, gold, silver, food, silk, wealth and life are all empty, and only this title that can be passed on is the ironclad country!

As long as the title of resting with the country is there, a lot of wealth is not easy to grab, so why should future generations work like those mud legs to earn it?

If this title is lost in his hands, Chai Zhewei is not only a sinner of the Chai family through the ages, how will he see his mother under the Nine Springs in the next hundred years?
This title was earned by my mother's meritorious deeds!
Chai Zhewei wiped his face, looked at the gloomy sky, rode and stood at the gate of the Furong Garden for a long time, pondering over and over again, thinking that he should throw away his face at this moment, as long as he can save this crisis, Keeping the title doesn't matter.

After thinking about it, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Go to Princess Baling's mansion!"

After all, he reined in his horse first and galloped towards Yongjiafang in the north of the city, regardless of being impeached by the censor for "riding the horse in the street"...

After the princesses of the Tang Dynasty get married, the emperor will generally grant a princess mansion in Chang'an City, the size of which depends on the status of the princess and the degree of favor.But there are also some that will not be given mansions. For example, when Princess Changle married into the eldest grandson's family, and later Princess Gaoyang married into Fang's family, they just opened up an open space in the man's mansion and built a new residence for the princess.

After Princess Baling married Chai Lingwu, the Princess Mansion bestowed by His Majesty Li Er was in Yongjiafang.

Yongjiafang is inside Tonghua Gate, just a wall away from the Xingqing Palace where Emperor Gaozu lived after his abdication...

Chai Zhewei led his soldiers to the gate of Princess Baling's Mansion in Yongjiafang, threw his stirrups off the saddle and got off his horse. There was already a door trotting up to meet him. Before he could speak, Chai Zhewei had already thrown the reins to the soldiers behind him. Asked: "Is Your Highness in the mansion?"

Menzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Yes, it's just..."

However, Chai Zhewei had already walked up the stone steps in front of the door, walked in through the door, and ordered: "Go and report to His Highness, and say that I have something to see."

"Here."

Menzi hurriedly sent the people around him to the inner house to inform, while he himself followed Chai Zhewei and led him into the main hall. At the same time, he secretly wondered: This is usually strict and rigid, unsmiling, and in private, he even avoids meeting with his younger siblings inadvertently However, today it is so strange to enter the mansion in such a hurry to ask for an interview...

In the main hall, Chai Zhewei sat on a chair on one side, and a maid served fragrant tea.

After a while, Princess Baling, who got the news, hurriedly changed into a suit of clothes, arranged her hair in a bun, and came out to meet her.

Chai Zhewei stood up and saluted: "I have seen Your Highness."

Princess Baling hurriedly said: "Why does Duke Qiao need to be so polite? We are all from our own family, so just be more casual."

He came to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "I don't know why Qiao Guogong is here?"

Her eldest uncle has a very rigid personality, and he usually has a high profile in front of her princess siblings. He is respectful and alienated, so it is hard to imagine that he will come to the princess mansion to meet him.

Chai Zhewei looked around and said, "Your Highness, please dismiss the waiter."

Princess Baling was even more amazed, so she waved her hand to let the servants and maids back down.

These servants were a little hesitant. After all, when the elder uncle met with his younger siblings, there was no one around him... This is very impolite, and it is very easy to be criticized by others.But seeing Chai Zhewei's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say more, so he could only back down.

It's just that after retreating, they stood at the door separately, listening to the movement in the hall with their ears upright, and if there was any abnormality, they had to rush in to protect the reputation of their highness...

When all the attendants had retreated, Princess Baling was about to ask, when she saw Chai Zhewei flicking up her robe and knelt down on one knee...

Princess Baling was so frightened that her face paled, she quickly stood up and stepped aside, and said in a loud voice, "Duke Qiao, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!"

Although she is a princess, with golden branches and jade leaves, she has no reason to make her uncle, a duke of the state, kneel down to worship her.Regardless of Chai Zhewei's purpose, if this scene spreads, it will cause a lot of trouble. Maybe Zongzheng Temple will come to the door tomorrow and punish her for the crime of "arrogance and domineering"...
