Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty: Please say long live His Majesty

Chapter 260 Wu Mei Niang: As long as I can have a son or daughter (Part )
Behind the bamboo curtain, Wu Meiniang slowly sat up straight, then looked outside the curtain, her dark eyes falling on Wu Shun: "Sister, I heard that the Guo family of Taiyuan and the Prince of Jin have established a relationship?"

Wu Shun felt inexplicably nervous, but this feeling of nervousness was very familiar, as it had been the same for all these years.

"Yes, after Prince Jin arrived in Taiyuan, he was silent for two months, and then he began to visit the elderly and seek wise men. The Guo family, the Xu family, and the Peng family all sent three or five sons to serve in the Prince Jin's Mansion." Wu Shun nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Sister, send a message to my third sister and tell her that she and her husband are not allowed to enter Prince Jin's Mansion." Wu Meiniang's eyes suddenly became cold.

"Yes!" Wu Shun was a little surprised, and then asked in a low voice: "Mei Niang, why is this? Logically speaking, the Princess of Jin is still our niece."

"I know everything that Prince Jin did in Taiyuan. Do you think the Crown Prince knows about it?" Wu Meiniang asked calmly.

"You must know that the prince is extraordinary." Wu Shun sighed softly.

"Yes!" Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Prince Jin made such a big fuss in Taiyuan, but the Crown Prince ignored it and didn't respond at all, as if he didn't see anything. But this time, all of Prince Jin's actions fell into the eyes of Your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of mockery and ridicule.

What Li Zhi did in Taiyuan seemed like the actions of a wise king, but it completely exposed his ambition to compete for the throne.

Wu Shun glanced at Wu Yuanqing sideways. She understood nothing about these things.

Wu Meiniang glanced at Wu Yuanqing, then said indifferently, "I don't care what the Guo family does, but my brother, sister, and third sister are not allowed to get involved... If the King of Jin imitates the King of Wei in the future, then your family will be finished."

"Yes!" Wu Shun felt a chill all over his body, and then immediately nodded.

Helan Yueshi only managed to get close to the cause this time, but was forced to serve in the Liaodong Army. Although there were people taking care of him, who knew if he could return safely.

Wu Meiniang smiled softly, then said, "Brother, sister, there's no need to worry. Your Majesty is still in the prime of life, and I'm also in childbearing age. As long as I have a child, why should my Wu family care about the Prince of Jin?"

"Yes!" Wu Shun and Wu Yuanqing reacted immediately.

"Okay, that's all for today. The people outside should be coming in soon." After a brief pause, Wu Meiniang said, "My sister has also woven some clothes in the palace. Bring them to my nephews and nieces, as well as my nephews and nieces."

"Yes!" Wu Shun and Wu Yuanqing responded softly.

……

After leaving the palace, Wu Yuanqing sent his sister Wu Shun back home.

After all, Helan Yueshi was a man from Yingshan County. Although his father had passed away, he was still the Duke of Yingshan County during his lifetime and still had his own house.

Turning around, Wu Yuanqing went to Pingkangfang.

In an unremarkable restaurant, two people sat opposite each other.

Wu Yuanqing sat in the light, and the man sat in the shadow.

"Brother Xu, please forgive me for breaking my promise regarding the previous matter. The Wu family will not get involved." After Wu Yuanqing finished speaking, he raised his glass to signal, then drank it all in one gulp and stood up to leave.

"Brother Xu" sat in the shadows, looking at Wu Yuanqing in surprise, and said, "Brother Wu, your Wu family is related to the King of Jin. Now that the King of Jin has just been established, he is in need of people. If the Wu family is willing to join him, they will surely be of great use in the future."

Wu Yuanqing paused, looked into the shadows opposite him, and said seriously, "Brother Xu, that's what you said, but let's look at the actions. The King of Jin is being too ostentatious."

After saying this, Wu Yuanqing turned and left.

It was just a glass of wine and two sentences, no more time.

Brother Xu sat in the shadows and watched Wu Yuanqing leave, but he was also pondering Wu Yuanqing's words in his heart.

The King of Jin is too ostentatious.

Has the Prince of Jin lost his caution now that Your Majesty is away?
Today, both the government and the public highly recognize the prince.

Not only is he capable of governing a country, he is also tolerant towards his subordinates and members of the royal family, diligent in government affairs, and knowledgeable about military affairs.

Whether it is civil officials or military generals, more and more people recognize the prince's ability, not to mention that he is the prince himself, and he is very scheming.

Looking back now, the Crown Prince understood the King of Wei much better than the King of Wei thought.

Not only is the prince himself unfathomable, the key point is that His Majesty is increasingly trusting the prince.

In this situation, the fledgling King of Jin might have some support, but the support would definitely not be too strong.

Now look, even a poor family like the Wu family has begun to dislike Prince Jin.

"Brother Xu" sat in the shadows and couldn't help shaking his head. The reason why he chose the Wu family was because Wu Shigui was also a fellow traveler. However, after Wu Shigui died, their family was deprived of the qualification.

Now that they were approaching them, it was also because of their relationship with Princess Jin. If they could connect with Prime Minister Yang...

"Brother Xu" sighed and said, "Prince Jin is too impetuous. I'm afraid we can only go to Fang Yiai for this matter."

With a low sigh, "Brother Xu" stood up and quietly walked out of the backyard.

In the shadows of the long street, a pair of eyes silently stared at "Brother Xu" until he entered the residence of Zuo Kuangzheng, General of the Left Jinwu Guard.

……

"Is it really the residence of General Zuo Jinwuwei?" Li Chengqian sat on the couch, looking at Xu An opposite him with some disbelief.

Under the light, Xu An stood in the Chongjiao Hall and bowed earnestly, saying, "Qinrenfang, the residence of General Zuo Jinwuwei, Your Highness, are you going to take action?" "What action?" Li Chengqian was slightly stunned, then looked at Xu An with a hint of amusement and said, "I'm just keeping in touch and want to serve under the Prince of Jin. How can I break any law? There's no such thing in the Tang Code!"

"Your Highness, it is taboo for a general in the army to have excessive connections with the prince." Xu An bowed solemnly.

"You!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "This is the authority of my father. Only my father can deal with it this way. I can't do it. Besides, even if their conspiracy is proven, what will happen next? It's just a demotion and a reprimand. If you don't kill the snake, it will come back again."

Xu An was slightly stunned, then he bowed and said, "Yes!"

Li Chengqian looked up and said, "Pass the word down. From today on, no one needs to keep an eye on Wu Yuanqing. Follow our previous method and deploy troops around the residence of General Zuo Jinwuwei and keep an eye on that man... This time, we're targeting General Zuo Jinwuwei. Tell the people below to be cautious, cautious, and cautious."

"Yes!" Xu An bowed solemnly, then turned and left.

Li Chengqian sat on the master couch with a serious look in his eyes.

Could it really be Zuo Kuangzheng?

General of the Left Jinwu Guard.

When Li Tai plotted rebellion before, there were always many things that seemed a little off after the event.

Even though Hou Junji was dangerous enough, that was definitely not the level Hou Junji should display.

Therefore, there are many things behind Hou Junji.

But, unfortunately, Hou Junji died, and many things could not be found out.

However, after a careful investigation by the secret guards, they discovered that someone had taken something from Hou Junji's study.

Who?
The only people who went to Hou Junji's mansion that day were from the Left and Right Jinwu Guards.

However, the commanders of the Left and Right Jinwu Guards on that day were Zheng Rentai and Zuo Kuangzheng, two generals of the Left Jinwu Guards.

Zheng Rentai was Li Chengqian's father-in-law, so it was unlikely that he had tampered with this matter. Moreover, he was also a hero in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and came from the Zheng family of Xingyang, so there was no need for him to tamper with such matters.

At the same time, Hou Junji was afraid and dared not believe Zheng Rentai for doing such a thing.

Even if he had some evidence against him, such as treason, as long as he reported Hou Junji, then nothing would matter.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's eyes were fixed on Zuo Kuangzheng.

He believed that the emperor's eyes were also fixed on Zuo Kuangzheng.

Of course, it is true that Zuo Kuangzheng is a suspect, but now that he has taken the initiative to show up, it is too strange.

Although more than half a year had passed since the Hou Junji incident, both Li Chengqian and the emperor had sent people to keep an eye on him.

Is Zuo Kuangzheng so impatient?

Li Chengqian looked up into the air. He always felt that there were many things wrong here, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Is the person behind this definitely Zuo Kuangzheng?
So awkward!

Li Chengqian took a deep breath. Although Zuo Kuangzheng was now a suspect, there was no evidence that he was connected with Li Zhi. Now, they were just trying to establish a relationship with Li Zhi through the Wu family.

As for becoming Li Zhi's confidant, or even doing more, he is still a long way off.

Take your time, keep an eye on him, and then send someone to try to infiltrate him.

Don't be in a hurry. It's normal for such a chess piece to lie in ambush for three to five years.

Li Chengqian raised his head slightly, and at this moment, another figure broke into his mind.

Wu Meiniang.

……

"Talented Lady Wu." Su Shu looked at the gentle and beautiful talented lady Wu Meiniang in front of her and nodded in surprise.

She is so charming, Su Shu thought to herself: Your Majesty gave her the name Wu Mei, which is absolutely appropriate and fits her perfectly.

Wu Meiniang, dressed in a red skirt, bowed gently to Su Shu and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

"Talented lady, please stand up!" Su Shu quickly helped Wu Meiniang up, and then said gently, "Talented lady is also an elder, there is no need to be so polite, please take a seat."

"Yes!" Wu Meiniang bowed slightly, then stood up and walked to one side. Finally, she sat together with Concubine Xu Hui.

Su Shu took a quick glance and saw that Concubine Wei Gui, Concubine Yang Shu, Concubine Yan De, and Concubine Xu Xian had all arrived in the palace, as well as Yin and Concubine Yin.

When the Prince of Qi plotted rebellion, Yin was demoted from Consort De to Consort Jie, but she was only demoted to Consort Jie and was not banished to the cold palace.

In addition, all the concubines in the Eastern Palace are here today.

Wang Youlan sat with Concubine Wang, Zhang Xuan sat with Concubine Xiao, Wei Wei sat with Concubine Cui, Zheng Shuang'er sat with Concubine Zheng, Su Yi sat with Jinyang and Xincheng, and several other princesses sat together.

However, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Chengyang are outside the palace and may arrive later.
