Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3237
Once upon a time, Li Chengqian also had a period of confusion.

In the competition for reserve positions, Wei Wang Li Tai put tremendous pressure on him, and even Wu Wang Li Ke, who basically had no hope of reserve positions, was aggressive because he was so good that even His Majesty Li Er privately lamented that "the Yingguo class Self", which shows the great love for him.

And his father's always ambiguous attitude made Li Chengqian understand that even though he had been established as the crown prince for more than ten years, his status was still unstable. One day, his father would depose himself on a whim, and whether it was Li Tai or Or Li Ke, who can perfectly take over his position, many ministers in the court will even applaud and celebrate with each other.

Faced with tremendous pressure, Li Chengqian was a little lost.

People are different, and it is difficult to make up for the gap in talent through acquired efforts. He feels that no matter how hard he works, he cannot compare to Li Tai and Li Ke, who are extremely talented.

That being the case, what's the use of trying to maintain his position as the crown prince?The gap between myself and Li Tai and Li Ke can be seen with the naked eye. As long as my father is firm in his will to "establish the virtuous but not the superior", then it will be a matter of time before he is deposed.

If it's just that the reserve position is not guaranteed, he will not let it go, but the question is, since ancient times, has it ever been heard that the deposed prince can die well?
never had.

Li Chengqian was not greedy for the position of the crown prince, but for the sake of himself, his wife and children, and the lives of more than a thousand people in the East Palace, he had to fight for it.

To this day, the position of the crown prince is becoming more and more stable. What he cares most about is the relationship between brothers and sisters, because the emperor has taught countless times in front of their brothers, to be friendly to brothers, to have a harmonious family, and not to make brothers fight against each other because of selfish greed. Brothers and sisters are broken, otherwise, even if they sit on the position of the supreme under heaven, they may not be happy and happy.

Regarding this point, all the brothers are convinced, after all, it is the father's personal experience...

The guilt in my heart, the infamy in the world, what kind of pressure will that be?Li Chengqian has self-knowledge, his father's stubbornness and martial arts can withstand the slander and scolding of the world, but his endurance is too poor. If there is such a day, he must go crazy...

Therefore, at any time, Li Chengqian puts the brotherhood between brothers and sisters in the most important position.

……

After reprimanding Li Junxian for a few words, Li Chengqian let him take a seat, ordered someone to offer tea, frowned and asked, "Tell Gu in detail, what's going on?"

Under normal circumstances, unless there is an urgent matter, the city gate must not be called open before the three quarters of Yin time, otherwise something big will happen.

Although he realized that there must be something strange about Wei Zhengju's death, and there might even be a conspiracy directed at "Baiqisi" or even him, the prince, he didn't realize the key point.

How can a Wei Zhengju be connected with the East Palace?
Li Junxian held the teacup in both hands, felt the warmth of the teacup, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Zhengju's weight is naturally not enough to involve the East Palace, or even the prince. But not long ago, this son ran into Duke Yue and was Duke Yue's lesson made the entire Jingzhao Wei terrified and terrified. According to rumors, it was because the Duke of Yue looked down on Wei Zhengju and thought he was not worthy of being Princess Jinyang, so he deliberately suppressed him, making Jingzhaowei Knowing the difficulty, he retreated, and the embarrassment of both sides is known to the world. Now Wei Zhengju secretly sneaked into the Forbidden Garden of Jiuyi Mountain, and His Royal Highness Jinyang happened to be there, and then Wei Zhengju died suddenly... It is inevitable that someone will kill Wei Zhengju His death is related to Duke Yue."

Li Chengqian frowned and nodded slowly.

The reason why he is now able to sit firmly in the East Palace, and the position of the crown prince is becoming more and more stable, is all thanks to Fang Jun.The unswerving support of such a courtier who has made great achievements in both civil and military aspects stands behind him, which is the root of the East Palace.

Once Fang Jun is accused of poisoning the children of the Wei family, he himself will be impeached and his reputation will be ruined, which will deal a great blow to the foundation of the East Palace.

Especially Jingzhao Wei's reaction, we need to know that Wei Ting's wife has died suddenly, the funeral has just passed, and the most outstanding son of the family has suffered a tragic accident. How can such a close family be indifferent?
Although Jingzhao Wei's power in the court seems not as good as that of the eldest grandson's family, but its profound background and wide network of contacts must not be underestimated.

Once the Wei family had other thoughts, they would blame Fang Jun for the death of the Changsun family and Wei Zhengju, or even blame the East Palace...

Enough to stir up the situation in Guanzhong!

Originally, due to the emptiness in Guanzhong due to the emperor's eastern expedition, all forces were ready to move. Now that they have such an opportunity, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

Just as he was talking, a servant from outside came to report, saying that Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, asked to see him.

Li Chengqian raised his head and looked out of the window, seeing that the sky was still dark, and seeing Xiao Yu at this time, it must be another big event, but it is best not to get involved with Wei Zhengju's case...

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. After Xiao Yu was called into the hall, he first greeted the ceremony, and then said in a deep voice: "Just now when the gate of the workshop was just opened, the servants of the minister's family heard that the Wei family had sent people to the Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, saying that Wei Zhengju hadn't died overnight. Returning, I don’t know where to go, I implore the Jingzhao Mansion to send people to look for it after filing the case... Ordinarily, it’s just that I haven’t seen anyone for one night, and it’s not enough to be missing, but how can the Wei family not understand these laws? Since they insist on going to Jingzhao The government reported the case, so it can be seen that Wei Zhengju probably had an accident... Uh, Your Highness, General Li, why are you so shocked?"

Before he finished speaking, seeing Li Chengqian and Li Junxian's heavy and surprised faces, he felt a "thump" in his heart.

Could it be that these two already knew about Wei Zhengju's whereabouts?

It is indeed possible, if there is no major event, Li Junxian should not appear in Xingqing Palace at this time...

Li Junxian glanced at Li Chengqian and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he said to Xiao Yu: "Last night, Wei Zhengju went to Jiuyi Mountain and sneaked into the imperial forbidden garden to do something wrong. At that time, His Royal Highnesses Changle and Jinyang In the Forbidden Garden... After being captured by the imperial guards, he was sent to the 'Baiqisi'. At that time, the 'Baiqisi' did not know the identity of Wei Zhengju, and wanted to interrogate Wei Zhengju, but Wei Zhengju died suddenly before the start of the interrogation.' The head of Baiqisi conducted a detailed inspection and proved that he had been poisoned beforehand, and he died of poison after being sent to Baiqisi..."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a while, finally came to his senses, and suddenly frowned and asked: "If you just sneaked into the Imperial Forbidden Garden to do something wrong, and there were no serious consequences, why do you need to send 'Bai Qisi'? The cavaliers have also started to intervene in such cases of chicken-crowding and dog-robbing?"

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one had a good impression of the "Hundred Knights".

Although the "Baiqisi" has always acted in a low-key manner, restrained and forbearing, and even if he makes a move, the evidence is solid and beyond reproach, but as a minister, who would want to have such a powerful weapon hanging above his head, which can be dropped anytime, anywhere Thoroughly chilling?
Restricting and resisting the "Hundred Knights" at all times has become a consistent tacit understanding of the court.

Li Junxian naturally understands Xiao Yu's worries, and he is afraid that if these cases are all intervened by the "Hundred Knights" in the future, it will lead to a surge in power, but at this time he has no patience to explain, shaking his head and said: "It is the school captain in the Forbidden Garden." As ordered, the last general does not know the inside story, but he has already sent people to the Forbidden Garden, maybe there will be news later."

Li Chengqian Yu Xiao Yu's face was solemn, and he was not optimistic about this.

Wei Zhengju died of poison when he entered the "Hundred Cavalry Division", and the guards who were escorted were silenced halfway.Under such circumstances, how can the school lieutenant of the Forbidden Garden be allowed to be interrogated by the "Hundred Knights"?
Under the three trees, why not ask for it?
What's more, the torture of "Hundred Knights" has long been notorious. No one can walk out of "Hundred Knights" with their mouths shut, unless the dead...

Therefore, at this moment, the captain of the Forbidden Garden has probably been silenced.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and all three of them were shocked by the tricks of the mastermind behind the scenes. Naturally, they had heard of or even seen more elaborate conspiracies than this one, but such a ruthless attack without leaving a single loophole was really ruthless enough.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and thought for a while, then suddenly asked Li Junxian: "After Wei Zhengju's sudden death in the 'Baiqisi' station, the general immediately called to open the city gate and enter the palace for an audience?"

Li Junxian was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed immediately, he nodded and said: "Exactly."

After saying that, he stood up, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Chengqian, and apologized: "The last general's recklessness and negligence caused His Highness to be questioned, and he really deserves death."

Li Chengqian also realized that Li Junxian obviously fell for the villain's scheme and dragged him, the crown prince, in. But how could he vent his anger on Li Junxian at this time?
Sighing, he waved his hands and said: "The thief's plot is cunning, and the chain is intertwined. The general was also careless for a while, so how can Gu blame it?"

Li Junxian's first meeting with him certainly dragged him into the vortex, and he was inevitably questioned, but if Li Junxian didn't come immediately, then he would be even more frightened. If you don't agree with the crown prince, he might even sleep with one eye open in the future...
