Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3238
Li Chengqian comforted him and said: "Don't worry about it, the general. The thieves live in the dark and plan their plans. If we don't notice it for a while, we will inevitably fall into their trap. However, since ancient times, evil has prevailed, and it seems that this kind of selfish and dirty people have already turned their backs on the way of heaven. Even if they succeed for a while , how can it be done?"

Instead of looking at the grateful Li Junxian, he turned to look at Xiao Yu, and said solemnly: "On the court, you still need to rely on Song Guogong for your support, so as not to cause chaos in the court. You also need to remind those censors Just a few words, don't be manipulated and used by thieves. Right now, my father's Eastern Expedition is at a critical juncture. If there is a change in Chang'an, I am afraid that I will fail my father's trust and make my father's millions of troops still have to worry about Chang'an. This is not filial. .”

This is not only a reminder, but also a warning.

Don't think that I am a prince made of clay. If someone disappoints me in front of my father and endangers the position of the crown prince, then don't blame me for being rude.

You, Xiao Yu, are the leader of Qingliu, and the former censor Zhongcheng Liu Ji is inseparable from you and obeys your words. If there is a disturbance from the censor, I will only ask you.

Xiao Yu's face twitched, but in desperation, he could only nod his head and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister knows the seriousness. If there is a censor who is instigated and manipulated by others, he must be severely punished to ensure the stability of the government."

Although a little wronged, the feeling of being relied on by the prince is very good. Perhaps this is the superiority of Jane, who is the head of the prime minister, in the emperor's heart.

For some reason, he suddenly hoped that Fang Jun would not return to Chang'an at all, so that he could become the most important minister in front of the crown prince, hold the power, and be highly valued. It would be nice to be willing to sacrifice his life for the crown prince...

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. With Xiao Yu's full support, the government will not develop to the point where it cannot be controlled.

It's just that he hadn't let out his breath yet, when he heard a servant come over to report again: "His Royal Highness, Jing Zhao Yin Ma Zhou is asking to see you."

Li Chengqian, Xiao Yu, and Li Junxian looked at each other, and said, "Xuan."

"Here!"

The servants withdrew, and not long after, Jing Zhaoyin Ma Zhou, dressed in official uniform, came forward and bowed to salute: "My minister Ma Zhou, I have an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Flat body."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to support him, looked at the official robe on Ma Zhou, frowned and asked, "Aiqing, please take a seat... Jingzhao Mansion is on duty so early?"

But Ma Zhou didn't take his seat, he straightened up and glanced at Xiao Yu and Li Junxian, his heart sank slightly, and he replied: "The yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is on duty at Maoshi, but today the gate of the fang just opened, and the Wei family blocked the door to see you." Wei Chen, said that Wei Zhengju, his son in the family, was deceived by someone and strayed into the Imperial Forbidden Garden of Jiuyi Mountain. After that, his life and death were unknown, and someone wrote a letter in his mansion in the middle of the night, saying that Wei Zhengju had been murdered by an adulterer, and he was sent to the "Hundreds of Kings". Qi Si' was severely tortured and died of serious injuries... I feel that something is wrong and dare not neglect it, so I entered the palace to see His Highness, and begged His Highness to make a decision."

They are all officials with ups and downs in the officialdom. Even though they usually act upright and have a high-minded heart, how can they not know that this matter is full of loopholes and extremely unusual?
Not to mention whether Wei Zhengju's death is true or not, even if it is true, but the incident happened in Jiuyi Mountain, and the "Baiqisi" was sent to him later. Although the curfew has been lifted in Chang'an, the gates of all the cities are still closed. Very few people have the privilege to call outside the city gate, how did the news get to the Wei family?

All kinds of things behind the scenes are clearly revealed.

Li Chengqian sighed softly, and sighed, "Wei Zhengju...had died violently last night in the torture chamber of the 'Baiqisi'."

Ma Zhou was shocked.

Li Junxian told the story in detail again...

Ma Zhou pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The thief's methods are not clever, but due to various coincidences, not only the 'Baiqisi' is to blame, but the royal family is also to blame."

After all, Wei Zhengju was dead, and Jingzhao and Webster had always regarded him as the leader of the next generation, so he was captured in the Royal Forbidden Garden for no apparent reason, and then sent to "Hundred Knights" in a daze. "Department" violent death in the criminal chamber...

How to explain this kind of words to the Wei family?
Even in ordinary times, Jingzhao Weishi would not be able to allow the outstanding son of the clan to die in such an unexplainable way, not to mention that since the thief set up such a plan, Jingzhao Weishi would definitely be punished. Instigating and bewitching, what's more, Jingzhao Webster was almost dragged into the abyss...

I'm afraid I can't tell.

Xiao Yu reminded: "The matter has come to this point, we can only take one step at a time. The thieves will have their backs. We can only take precautions. But the most important thing is how to deal with Wei Zhengju's corpse?"

Li Chengqian said decisively: "This matter cannot be concealed from the world. Immediately hand over Wei Zhengju's body to the Wei family and explain the truth to him. Whether the Wei family believes it is another matter, but if we hide his body, what happens behind the scenes?" The thieves will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and the direction of things will become more and more uncontrollable."

Taking the initiative to hand over Wei Zhengju's body can be said to be magnanimous in his heart, but if he is clever enough to hide or destroy Wei Zhengju's body, there will be endless troubles afterwards. Once the Wei family finds out about it, let alone his reaction, The royal family and the "Hundred Cavalry Division" will be blamed - if you didn't have a guilty conscience, why did you destroy Wei Zhengju's body?

At that time, even if there are a hundred mouths growing on the body, it will not be clear.

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. Wei Zhengju's death is quite strange. If the Wei family doesn't let him go, His Highness can order the Sanju Department to file a case for investigation. You must not pretend to be smart and give someone else to blame."

Li Chengqian said: "There must be an investigation. The thief is so arrogant and dares to plot against the royal family and the 'Baiqisi'. How vicious is his heart? If this person is not caught, he will be alone!"

Everyone discussed for a while, and the sky was already bright.

Ma Zhou stood up and said, "For the time being, I will retire and return to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and tell the Wei family about Wei Zhengju, and then lead the Wei family to the 'Baiqisi' to collect the body."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The attitude is better. This time, the Wei family must have been framed by others, and they felt wronged. Aiqing should not be too persecuted."

Ma Zhou said, "Here!"

Then he turned and walked out.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard, disapproving in his heart.

How did he know that the Wei family was framed?Just because of the death of a so-called outstanding child in the clan?Throughout the ages, the "bitter meat strategy" has been tried and tested.

Furthermore, most of Wei Zhengju's current reputation as Nuo Da was created by Jingzhao Webster. He has never made any achievements in humanities and martial arts, so how can he be called an "outstanding disciple"?Obviously a mediocre person.

Sacrificing such a mediocre person to plan a big event is really cost-effective...

Li Chengqian was not stupid, he comforted Ma Zhou first, then turned his head and said to Li Junxian: "Spread out all the people, while investigating the cause of Wei Zhengju's death, while closely monitoring the Wei family, if there is any change, report it immediately. In addition, immediately send someone out of the Xuanwu Gate with the token of Gu to inform the left and right guards, so that the whole army is ready for battle, once the order of Gu is received, immediately enter the city through the Xuanwu Gate and take over the defense of Chang'an!"

Originally, there was an undercurrent in Chang'an City, and all forces were ready to move. Now, Wei Zhengju's death is like a spark, splashing into this pile of dry firewood. What if it causes a huge fire?
You have to think about the worst in everything and prepare in advance so that you can stay safe in the face of danger...

Xiao Yu reminded: "If it is not a last resort, please don't let the left and right guards enter the city... Right now there are only half of the right guards, and Fang Jun is away, leaving only one lieutenant general Gao Kan to rule. It is not yet known how powerful it will be. And Zuo Tunwei...cannot be trusted."

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly, deeply convinced.

Chai Zhewei was cowardly, cowardly and stagnant, and even resorted to tricks such as pretending to be sick, which shows that his integrity has no bottom line.

Once there are changes in Chang'an City, who can guarantee that Chai Zhewei will not be drawn and used by the thieves, and then turn against each other?

He wasn't originally from the Eastern Palace...

Of course, there is no need to question the loyalty of the Youtun Guards, but as Xiao Yu said, only half of the Youtun Guards are left under the control of Gao Kan. It is still unknown whether they can afford the safety of Xuanwumen. Can it be suppressed?
It is really unexpected to put You Tunwei in Chang'an City, whether it is a blessing or a curse...

Xiao Yu said again: "At this moment, it is approaching Maoshi, and the court will be held today, Your Highness, please be prepared, there must be someone who makes trouble."

This is almost certain.

Throughout the ages, any time you do anything, you have to pay attention to a righteous name. If you can't openly blame Wei Zhengju's death on the royal family and the "Baiqisi", the prince who holds the power to supervise the country will be accused by thousands of people. What is the use of all the intentions of a man?
So there is no need to guess too much, just see who jumps out later, and you can roughly figure it out...
