Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3296

For a long time, the eldest grandson Yan has been under the protection of his father and brother, and has never really been involved in court battles and interest competitions.This time, he suddenly shouldered the important task of leading the family. Although he was full of enthusiasm and ambition, but when encountering such things, he was instantly stunned and didn't know what to do.

He could only go to Prince Jin's mansion and implore King Jin to suppress the case. After all, once the case was exposed, the eldest grandson's family would be the first to bear the brunt of the blame.

Not to mention whether he can successfully inherit the position of Patriarch in the future, it is still unknown whether he will be thrown out and become a scapegoat...

Li Zhi laughed angrily at Chang Sunyan's words, he put down his teacup, stared at Chang Sunyan in front of him, and said word by word: "Then, the Guanlong Clan committed such a serious crime for the sake of this king?"

Changsun Yan was shocked, and hurriedly said: "How dare I have such thoughts? It's just that we are all loyal to His Highness, and most of the money obtained from the Western Regions is also filial to His Highness. Right now, the people of each family in the Western Regions are being arrested at will by Fang Jun. It is unbearable to be arrested, tortured and tortured, and I hope that His Highness will rescue you, so as not to chill everyone's hearts..."

"presumptuous!"

Li Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the teacup on Changsun Yan's head with his hands. Changsun Yan, who was scalding hot tea, yelled, and then pointed his halberd and cursed angrily: "You bastard! You have evil intentions, colluded with foreign enemies, and intend to frame court ministers. Roboze in the army, now he doesn't think about repentance, doesn't think about how to confess his sins and subdue the law, and reform his past, but he still wants to pour sewage on this king, he is an idiot!"

He was on the verge of going crazy.

It is true that the Guanlongmen faction often donates goods to the Jin Palace, but that is only one percent or less of what the Guanlongmen faction steals from the Western Regions. So this king should bear the responsibility of treason for you?
Most importantly, who the hell allowed you to collude with Hu people in the Western Regions to murder Fang Jun?Keeping me in the dark by not saying a word beforehand, and after the failure, push me to the front to attract firepower and share the blame for you, what good thing do you think? !

He glared at his eldest grandson and cursed: "Even if you don't care about Fang Jun being the prince's minister, if something happens to the prince, the prince will definitely not give up. You should know how the father favors Fang Jun, right? Even if you take it seriously, you will Fang Jun was assassinated in the Western Regions, but have you ever thought about how his father would be furious after he returned to Beijing? You can bear the wrath of your father's thunder? Besides, Fang Jun's reputation has reached the peak in the Battle of Hexi, and almost no one in the army can match him. Even Dukes of England and Duke of Wei have avoided it for the time being, and have even become a symbol of the military! You have colluded with the barbarians to assassinate Fang Jun, but have you ever imagined how violent the military will react if the matter is leaked?"

He couldn't believe these idiots would do such a thing.

If the plan fails, you will naturally have to bear Fang Jun’s backlash, as evidenced by the fact that the Guanlongmen Clan’s power in the Western Regions will soon be wiped out; even if it succeeds, the anger of the father, the military, and the prince... What are you going to take to bear it? ? !
Seeing Changsun Yan panicked, Li Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked: "Is this your idea, or is it ordered by Zhao Guogong?"

This is not a question, but to let Changsun Yan make a choice—you should hurry up and take care of everything by yourself. The emperor reads the merits of the eldest grandson’s family in the past, especially the current situation is sensitive. On the one hand, only the head of the culprit will be punished, and the rest will not be blamed, so stop here.But if you don't dare to stand up, you will inevitably be dragged onto Changsun Wuji. At that time, regardless of whether Changsun Wuji participated or knew about it, you will be involved, and things will explode. It can't be suppressed.

Changsun Yan naturally understands this, but it means that he has reached the end of the road and has no power to recover. When he thinks about the punishment he will face...

He hemmed and hawed with a guilty conscience: "Father never knew about it, but this matter was not done by one of the ministers, many clans participated in it..."

"enough!"

Li Zhi looked at Changsun Yan with some pity: "At this time, don't bite us wantonly, the more people you bite out, the bigger the matter will be, and the more difficult it will be to end, don't think that the law will not blame everyone! The king has received the news just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard about this, and was furious. He has already decided to risk his position as the crown prince, and will also behead all these rebellious officials and thieves one by one to show the public, as an example to others! It is up to you to decide what to do. Hurry up and leave this king's palace, if even this king is involved, I am afraid that in the end your entire eldest grandson's family will have to be buried for this king!"

In the past, Changsun Yan dragged in the entire Guanlongmen Clan, causing the involvement to expand infinitely. Due to the stability of the court, the father might really hit it lightly and hold back, allowing Changsun Yan to escape.

However, the crown prince was ruthless this time, and the words he said to Xiao Yu in the palace were quickly spread, which made the whole court and the public shocked by the crown prince's ruthlessness, and at the same time worried for the Guanlong Clan—the current crown prince Even at the cost of saving positions, we have to pursue it to the end. Who in the world can stand up to it?

Even if His Majesty Li Er returned to Beijing at this moment, with the Prince's stern attitude, it would be difficult to stop him with the reason of taking the overall situation into consideration.

So this time, the Guanlongmen faction is bound to pay the price.

In Li Zhi's opinion, the best way is for Changsun Yan to stand up and bear all the guilt, so as to take care of the rest of the Guanlong clan, and of course, take the Changsun's family out safely.

Otherwise, once the crown prince pushes the Three Law Departments to investigate the case, the entire eldest grandson's family may not be able to escape a few innocent people.

Aristocratic families, in this era, are existences above the law. There are only family rules and no national laws in their daily affairs.

Chang Sunyan wanted to say more, but the impatient Li Zhiming's servants came in and sent him away. Seeing Chang Sunyan's ashen face, Li Zhi sighed and shook his head. No mercy.

He walked the road by himself, and took care of things by himself. Who can blame him for this situation?

He got up and passed it to the study room, had someone guard the door, sharpened his pen, wrote a letter after a little deliberation, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, called his confidant and servant in, and said: "Go quickly!" Liaodong, hand over this letter to Mr. Zhao. Remember, you must hand it over to Mr. Zhao. You can only return after seeing Mr. Zhao disassemble it for inspection. If there is an emergency, destroy this letter as soon as possible. Remember! "

"Your servant knows this, so I won't dare to ruin His Highness's important affairs!"

The servant's face was serious, he took the letter, turned around and went out, immediately ready the horse, took two confidantes, and immediately left the city for Liaodong.

As soon as the servant left the mansion, someone came in Tong Bing, saying that it was Xiao Yu, Duke of the Song Dynasty, asking for an audience...

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, shouldn't this person be the one who should link up with the various families in Guanlong, and quickly deal with the prince's strategy, lest the prince be so cruel that he will burn everything and get involved?

Why did he run to his own house...

I was puzzled in my heart, but I couldn't see him, so I immediately ordered someone to invite Xiao Yu to the main hall, changed into a bright yellow prince's robe, and then went to the main hall to meet each other.

In the main hall, after the ceremony, the two sat down separately, and when the maid served the tea, Li Zhi raised his hand to push everyone away, and then smiled and invited Xiao Yu to drink tea.

After Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, he asked: "Duke Song came out from Xingqing Palace, and now he is coming to my palace. He must be on important business, right? Let's not hide it." Now, if you have anything to say, please speak up.”

Seeing Li Zhi straight to the point, Xiao Yu did not go around the bush, and said bluntly: "In this case, the old minister will speak bluntly. This time, I want to ask His Highness to ask you to restrain the Guanlong families. Don't do too much. Hurry up to cooperate with the imperial court, admit the guilt, and resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, and it will inevitably involve more and more. Once the situation changes, I am afraid that we, as ministers, will be unable to shirk the blame and have no face to see His Majesty!"

The implication is that once this matter becomes serious, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you, the prince, will be involved too.

This is so serious, Li Zhi was taken aback, and said strangely: "The Guanlongmen Clan is not the son of my king, Sun Yinggou. Can Duke Song ask this king to come forward and restrain him?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand, not paying any attention to Li Zhi's argument, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I don't want to see His Royal Highness Lei Lingfeng pursue the investigation to the end when the old minister comes to the door today. Hello, Your Highness. Your Highness should not mention those evasive remarks in front of the veteran. Why do you need a veteran to speak out about the situation inside? As long as your Highness knows one thing, as long as the case is pursued to the end, His Highness will definitely be implicated. If Your Highness If you still say that this matter has nothing to do with you, then the old minister has no nonsense, so I will resign."

Li Zhi was speechless.

This old bastard was usually ruthless in handling affairs, but today he was so ruthless and aggressive, which inevitably displeased him.

It's just that he was a little embarrassed, because he didn't dare to say "absolutely nothing has nothing to do with him", feeling guilty in his heart, inevitably his position was not firm, so he had to apologize and said with a smile: "Song Guogong's words are serious... Come on, come on, this is the best How do you taste the tea leaves?"

Xiao Yu knew that King Jin was afraid, so there was something to talk about.

Feeling relieved, I picked up the teacup and tasted it...
