Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3800
There was a commotion in the courtyard outside the hall, and after a while, the servants came in and reported: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness' Baiqi' and the imperial guards, together with the King of Han, came to read the Prince's edict."

Everyone in the hall stood up together, headed by Princess Baling, accompanied by Changle and Jinyang, followed by Chai Xu and other members of the Chai clan according to their seniority. Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, stood in the courtyard, beside a young general, Li Chongzhen, the lieutenant of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", and behind them were twenty imperial guards and twenty "Hundred Cavalry", each wearing a helmet , The murderous look was so strong that although the servants came and went in a hurry in Princess Nuo's mansion, no one dared to make a sound.

Princess Baling came before the King of Han, bowed her skirt and saluted, and said respectfully, "I have seen the King of Han."

As Zong Zhengqing, King Han Li Yuanjia was in charge of all the affairs of the royal family and had a high status. Not long ago, the two county kings of Bohai and Longxi were assassinated and killed in the mansion, which made King Han's prestige even higher.In addition, now that the Eastern Palace has reversed the situation, Han Wang, who has always been close to the Eastern Palace, is even more majestic.

Seeing Princess Baling approaching, the King of Han nodded slightly, looked around, turned around the faces of the Chai clan members, and then said: "According to the order of His Royal Highness, dispatch twenty guards and 'Hundred Riders' each Li Chongzhen, the school lieutenant of the 'Baiqisi', will lead the princess' mansion to serve at the disposal of Princess Baling and assist the mansion with the funeral arrangements. If anyone in the mansion disobeys orders or spreads rumors, they will be severely punished!"

Li Chongzhen took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, gave military salute, and said loudly: "The last general Li Chongzhen obeys orders!"

Twenty imperial guards and twenty "Hundred Riders" behind him knelt on one knee, their nails clanging, and their voices sounded like thunder: "We obey orders!"

In the front yard of Nuo Da's princess mansion, there was complete silence, and members of the Chai clan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although this place is the princess mansion, but Chai Lingwu is a child of the Chai family, so it can be regarded as the place of the Chai family, but the crown prince grandiosely sent guards to come to the mansion to obey orders, what orders?Rumors from the outside world are turbulent, and there must be people inside the Chai family who are making waves. The struggle for power and interests within the aristocratic family may not be much easier than those in the court.

For all the sisters, the prince is very sincere in protecting her. Don't say that the rumors about Chai Lingwu being killed by Fang Jun are pure rumors. Even if it is true, the Chai family can't vent their anger on Princess Baling. Resolutely not allowed.

That's why Li Chongzhen was sent to lead the imperial guards to the Princess Mansion to support Princess Baling.

Such a tough method is rarely seen on the prince, but it also clearly conveys the prince's wish - if you have the ability, you go to Fang Jun to your death, but you must not let Princess Baling be angry.

From this, it can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to Princess Baling, which makes the Chai clan feel ashamed, angry and relieved.

Ashamed and indignant at the fact that Princess Baling had an affair with Fang Jun, but the clansmen did not dare to accuse them lightly, otherwise these dozens of brave soldiers would cut them to pieces. The title of "Duke Qiao" will not be deprived, and he can still stay in the Chai family...

Face and dignity are very important to aristocratic clans. Once a clansman bears the stigma of "obscenity" and "weakness", it will be difficult to stand in the forest of clansmen.However, the title of a founding duke is more important than face. With this title, Jinyang Chai family is the first-class family in the world. Otherwise, it will be reduced to second-rate or third-rate. inflow.

Therefore, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction you feel in your heart, you have to hold back.

The most important thing is that although Chai Zhewei's rebellion is certain to die, it may also implicate the family. I don't know how many people of the clan will be imprisoned or even die. Seeing the prince's love for Princess Baling now, maybe I will ask for it in the future Your Royal Highness, the crown prince will be able to forgive me...

Chai Xu found that even though the two brothers Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu were dead or dying, the Chai family was still under the control of the Dafang. If he dared to show any disrespect to Princess Baling, these imperial guards and "Hundred Riders" would be able to tear him apart.

Although he is nicknamed "Gecko", he is only light-hearted. In front of these fierce soldiers in the army, his personal combat power is not much stronger than "Gecko"...

Princess Baling was shocked, and her gratitude to the prince was beyond words.

Born in the royal family, she joined a powerful family. She was used to intrigue, cannibalism, and lack of a husband. Even if she is a princess, she can't live comfortably in this family. With her greedy and covetous eyes, cold sweat broke out involuntarily, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.

In particular, she and Chai Lingwu had always supported the King of Wei. Although she no longer participated in the battle for the crown prince, how could the prince not have any grudges in his heart?
I'm afraid that no matter how much she is humiliated in the Chai family, she won't ask any more questions.

If it is the royal princess, it is also the water thrown by the married daughter...

However, now the prince's tough "protection" of "helping relatives but not helping" and "I don't care about the truth, I just want to protect my sister" made her feel ups and downs, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she actually rushed the sadness in her heart. Scattered a lot.

For a woman, a strong natal family is the most solid backing...

Everyone in the world says that the crown prince is weak, not like a wise king, not as talented and decisive as his father, but so what?A strong monarch is naturally needed to build a country, secure a country, and expand territory. But now that the Tang Dynasty is coming, what is needed is to consolidate the regime and prosper all industries. A milder monarch is more conducive to the stability of the court.

Besides, what's wrong with a prince who has a gentle temperament and treats his siblings like an elder brother?

*****
When Yuwen Shiji returned to Yanshoufang, the rain continued, and there was water everywhere on the bluestone road, and the horseshoe wheels rolled over, splashing a splash of water.

When I came to the side hall, I saw Changsun Wuji standing in front of the window, looking at the blooming green flowers and trees in the yard, feeling a little lost...

"Auxiliary machine, you must have known about Chai Lingwu's sudden death?"

Yuwen Shiji came to the table in front of the window and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, tested the temperature of the water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Changsun Wuji turned around, sat on the chair, knocked his injured leg, and said calmly: "Brother Renren, don't you want to ask if I sent someone to kill Chai Lingwu and blame Fang Jun?"

The East Palace and Guan Long are entangled, the two sides are deeply involved, and they cannot be completely separated from each other, so a lot of news cannot be kept secret. Over there, Chai Lingwu just died, and the Guanlong Gate Clan here has already known the news. Make a tacit understanding with Liu Ji and promote the peace talks as soon as possible, while Changsun Wuji is here to deliberate on the cause and effect, and think about how to act.

Yuwen Shiji looked at Changsun Wuji, and asked, "Is that what the auxiliary machine did?"

It doesn't really matter who the murderer is. Chai Lingwu has a noble status, but he has no real power. If he dies, he will die. No one will go to war for his death.But if the murderer is Changsun Wuji, it will be very different, because the part of framing Fang Jun will directly lead to the breakdown of the negotiations between Donggong and Guanlong.

Changsun Wuji shook his head bluntly: "No, I also just found out about this, and after deliberating about who is behind the scenes, I didn't get anything."

Yuwen Shiji felt that Changsun Wuji didn't need to lie to himself about such things, so he nodded and said, "As long as we didn't do it, then it doesn't matter."

The most important thing right now is the peace talks, as long as it doesn't lead to the collapse of the peace talks, the rest can be ignored.

"Irrelevant?"

Changsun Wuji snorted, beckoned for a new pot of tea, poured a cup for Yuwen Shiji, and said slowly: "The relationship is too great!"

Yuwen Shiji took the tea and was taken aback: "Huh? What does the auxiliary machine mean?"

Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea, then sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if Chai Lingwu dies or not, but the real murderer behind the scenes who framed him almost cut off the possibility of Fang Jun becoming the head of the Zaifu in the future, which can be described as vicious. You may wish to think about it, what kind of person can use Chai Lingwu's order to set up such a situation that everyone can see but no one can solve?"

No matter how insignificant Chai Lingwu is, he is also the son-in-law of the Chai family, the current imperial consort, with an extremely noble status, and now he is shot and killed outside the gate of Youtunwei's camp like a dog... and since the murderer was able to get under the nose of Youtunwei, If you want to directly blame Fang Jun, you may not be able to do it, but it is just such an understatement to lay out the situation in the future, instead of giving Fang Jun a blow at this critical moment.

The truth behind it is somewhat intriguing, especially what is the position of the real culprit behind the scenes?
