Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3798
Even though his heart was in confusion, Yu Wenshi and his tone were still firm: "Liu Shizhong was too worried, and this matter will definitely not happen. Guanlong and everyone have great expectations for the peace talks. They can't bear the people in Guanzhong and the soldiers of both sides to continue to suffer from the trauma of war. Therefore, the heart to stop fighting is extremely sincere."

Liu Jie nodded and said, "It's the best way to reach peace talks as soon as possible to support the interests of both of us, but the military headed by Fang Jun is extremely resistant to the peace talks and has repeatedly sabotaged them. You also know this, Mr. Ying. Now that Fang Jun has made great contributions, leading to a reversal of the situation, even the crown prince obeys his words. If Duke Ying still wants to facilitate peace talks, please try to relax the bottom line, otherwise the longer the delay, the more inevitable nights will be. "

What he said was "the interests of both you and us", not "East Palace and Guanlong", which is already a clear position: I represent the civil service system of the East Palace, and I don't want to be dominated by the military, so it is urgent to promote peace talks and regain the initiative. You represent the vast majority of the Guanlong Clan, intending to exclude Changsun Wuji and gain control of the entire Guanlong Clan... We know each other well, and we all have great hopes for the peace talks, and we can win a lot of money. Great interests, so don't take it too high, it will affect everyone's interests.

And it must be you who took the initiative to relax the bottom line. Who let you group of mobs be beaten to the ground by Fang Er, disarmed and defeated?

Of course, Yuwenshi and the bottom of his heart are also aware of this point. Now that the situation is reversed, they must be the ones who give in, especially Fang Jun, who completely ignores the peace talks policy of the East Palace, and sends troops to carry out sneak attacks without restraint. No one knows when he will come back again. Go up like this.

What's more, hundreds of thousands of stones, grain and fodder have been burned right now, and the Guanlong army is in danger of food shortages. How can they hold on for too long?
He didn't care much about giving up some benefits and paying some prices. After all, the benefits gained by facilitating the peace talks and taking the lead in Guanlong were too rich.It's just that it will challenge Changsun Wuji's authority and push him down from his position as the leader of Guanlong. It will definitely trigger a strong resistance from Changsun Wuji, which is really tricky...

Therefore, the peace talks cannot be facilitated as soon as possible, and the interests of all parties involved are innumerable. If they cannot be weighed and appeased in advance, troubles will inevitably arise.

The two discussed peace talks in the government office for a long time, and when the evening approached, Yuwen Shiji bid farewell and left.

Liu Jie asked someone to change a new pot of tea, and sat alone in the government office, slowly sipping tea, thinking about the current situation, and weighing the consequences of Chai Lingwu's death and Fang Jun's infamy as a suspect. What kind of benefits, and what kind of catalytic effect it has on the current situation.

The most direct and obvious benefit is that after this incident, Fang Jun suffered suspicion. If he could not get rid of it, it would be tantamount to leaving a huge moral flaw.It may be fine in ordinary times, after all, no one dares to challenge Fang Jun's authority and anger in this regard, but in the future, if Fang Jun goes to the sky in one step and ascends to the court to pay homage to the prime minister, what happened today will become a huge obstacle, blocking Fang Jun's progress footsteps.

Looking at the court, after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to threaten the imperial court and pay homage to the prime minister, and he, Liu Ji, must be the one at the top. The most likely candidate for the head of the assistant is Liu Ji.

As for the moment, Liu Jie felt that there was no need to go head-to-head with Fang Jun, because Fang Jun's status in the prince's mind was unmatched, and his constant disputes with Fang Jun would only arouse the prince's disgust.Furthermore, the prince has a gentle personality, so he must not like a strong and fierce courtier to become the head of the prime minister and take on the important task of governing the world.

The peace talks are of great benefit to him, but according to the current situation, the peace talks are a matter of time, and there is no need to fight for it, which makes the prince loathe himself, and even leads to strong resistance from the military...

But after a while, my thoughts turned back, and my mind was full of doubts: who killed Chai Lingwu and blamed Fang Jun?
Liu Ji thought about it, but he couldn't think of anyone who killed Chai Lingwu and wanted to blame Fang Jun when he knew that there would be no direct harm to Fang Jun...

*****
Inside Princess Baling's mansion, there is a gloomy cloud and mist.

The news came back that Chai Lingwu was killed by a sniper. The body was still on the road. The palace and Zongzheng Temple had sent people to attend the funeral. Numerous white banners were erected. The age of the deceased is a piece of paper for each year, so that the neighbors in the neighborhood know that the funeral is being held at home, and people come to help with the funeral at this time...

It's just that the Chang'an mutiny is now raging, and the daily operation of the court has long since come to a standstill. Taichang, Zongzheng and other government offices are all closed and sealed. Suddenly organizing such a funeral ceremony is inevitably understaffed, quite deserted, and a little rushed.

In the inner hall of the princess mansion, concubines and maidservants were crying everywhere, and it was full of gloom.

Who would have expected that Chai Lingwu, who was in his prime, would go out aggressively early in the morning, and the news of his death would be sent back in no time?Although the princess is respected in the mansion, the sudden death of the son-in-law will not cause the whole sky to fall, but after all, he has lost the backbone, and grief and panic are inevitable.

Princess Baling knelt in the inner hall, surrounded by the princesses of Changle, Jinyang and several concubines, busy helping her put on the filial gown that she had just sewn.

Fortunately, the two days of peace talks have progressed rapidly, the two sides have temporarily ceased fire, and the situation has eased, otherwise it would be impossible for the princesses and the concubines sent by the prince to show their care to enter the princess mansion. sad doubled...

Princess Baling asked her family to change her clothes and remove the jewels on her head. She was in a daze and hadn't recovered from her ignorance.

She really couldn't figure it out, why did Chai Lingwu go out and be killed by a sniper?

Some people in the mansion said that it was Fang Jun who killed her suddenly. The reason was that Fang Jun raped her, the princess. She knew it herself, pure nonsense.

He and Fang Jun are innocent, and Fang Jun has absolutely no reason to kill Chai Lingwu.

However, no matter what, Chai Lingwu is dead, and he is a widow at a young age... No matter how much he hates Chai Lingwu for forcing him to go to Fang Jun to beg for the title, after all, the relationship between husband and wife is still there. It's hard to describe the feeling of bewilderment and sadness when someone is gone.

After a long time, two lines of clear tears poured down from the corners of his eyes, and he began to cry.

Princess Changle at the side took her arm, and sympathetically gathered up the hair from her temples, tucking it behind her ears, then took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and comforted her softly: "Death cannot be resurrected, mourning and obedience, sister You also need to take care of your body.”

Princess Baling burst into tears, looking at the two children in front of the hall who were being put into filial piety by the servants. Although she was bewildered by the sad atmosphere in the mansion, her two clear eyes were dazed, and she didn't realize that their father had died again. Can't come back either.

Princess Jinyang also leaned on Princess Baling's shoulder, and whispered: "There are rumors outside that brother-in-law killed Chai Consort, sister Baling, you must not believe it, brother-in-law is definitely not that cruel!"

"Well, I know."

Princess Baling wiped the corners of her eyes and replied softly.

"Ok?"

Her reply was so relaxed and natural, but Princess Changle was taken aback, and asked: "Do you really believe it? It was said outside that you and Fang Jun... That's why Fang Jun shot the killer."

Changle naturally did not believe that Fang Jun would do such a cruel thing, but if Princess Baling really had an affair with Fang Jun, it would at least logically make sense for Fang Jun and Chai Lingwu to have a conflict that led to the latter's sudden death. Why is Princess Ling so sure that Fang Jun will not be the murderer?
Heartfelt?

Passion for adultery?

Princess Baling lifted her head with tears in her eyes, held Princess Changle's palm, and said softly: "Fang Jun and I are innocent, there is absolutely nothing wrong with each other. How could Fang Jun have any reason to kill Chai Lingwu?"

"Oh."

Princess Changle felt relieved, although she knew she had no status and had no reason to restrain Fang Junzhi's behavior, but she still felt uncomfortable when she heard the rumors that he had an affair with Princess Baling.There are so many beauties in this world, why do we have to catch Princess Tang and ruin them one by one?

Now hearing Princess Baling's words, all the dissatisfaction was instantly swept away, replaced by intense anger—who was the one who suffered a thousand knives and framed Erlang like this?

Princess Jinyang came over and said in a serious manner: "Now that Consort Chai is gone, doesn't Sister Baling happen to be on good terms with brother-in-law?"

Princess Baling: ...

Princess Changle: ...

It is said that this girl has an extraordinary relationship with Fang Jun, and it is indeed Fang Jun's caring little padded jacket. Another brother-in-law here has just died, so she is busy pushing the new widow Wenjun's sister into Fang Jun's arms...
