"How do you judge?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Today, Changsun Wuji's views on Chen Qiao are really complicated. On the one hand, he still does not abandon his prejudice against Chen Qiao, but on the other hand, he laments the strength of the Black Dragon Army. of the Black Dragon Army.

"Situ definitely understands in his heart, why should he deceive himself again?"

Wei Zheng explained Changsun Wuji's mind with one word, but he didn't look at Changsun Wuji's ugly face.

"Could it be that Situ hopes that Yushitai's actions are instigated by the crown prince or the king of Wei?"

"Of course not!" Changsun Wuji said hastily.

"Yes, among the princes, the few who have thoughts about the throne right now, except for the already fallen King Chu, the prince and King Wei are both brothers of Princess Changle's mother. No matter how they fight, they will definitely not do it. Something that endangers Princess Changle." Wei Zheng said, looking at Changsun Wuji, "Only the King of Shu, Li Min, will not have such scruples."

"But the King of Wu has always restrained himself and kept the etiquette. Doesn't the King of Shu care about his brothers at all this time?"

Changsun Wuji's words seem to be asking Wei Zheng, but also seem to be asking himself.

"Concubine Yang has been more partial to the King of Shu since she was a child, and neglected the King of Wu. Situ thought that the King of Shu who grew up like this would have some brotherhood with the King of Wu? What's more, what he is seeking is the supreme chair."

"But what does fighting for the throne have to do with framing Chen Qiao?"

"So Situ also knew that General Chen was framed?" Wei Zheng suddenly looked at Changsun Wuji with great interest.

Changsun Wuji gave a fake cough, and continued, "If the king of Shu wants to win the throne, Chen Qiao is the one he should win over the most, so why frame him now?"

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "As early as the day when General Chen married Princess Changle, the crown prince and the rest of the princes except King Wei had already lost the opportunity to win over General Chen."

"Since you can't win him over, it's better to get rid of him." Changsun Wuji answered.

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Isn't that why the King of Chu poisoned Princess Changle?"

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh when he thought that the king of Chu would end up like a cripple now.

"Think about it, Situ. Although Yushitai has the reputation of being outspoken and dare to advise, but Situ can see over the years, do they really have the courage to impeach anyone in the court? From this point of view, this time when The court impeached General Chen, but the king of Shu resorted to the method of killing people with a knife, and wanted to use the idiots of Yu Shitai to bring down General Chen."

After not mentioning the king of Chu anymore, Wei Zheng turned to Changsun Wuji to talk about what happened in the court today.

"What happened in the court today is nothing more than a stone thrown into the seemingly calm water." Wei Zheng took a sip of tea, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to take advantage of this incident to dispel those who have evil intentions in the court. General Chen is the spring, Yushitai is the stone, and the three parties get together to completely muddy the seemingly clear water in this pool, so that all those who participated in it can be wiped out."

Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Changsun Wuji let out a sigh of relief. After all, he still underestimated Li Shimin's trust in Chen Qiao.

"Situ, Mr. Wei just came here today to persuade you. Your Majesty and General Chen are no longer able to provoke you with just a few words."

Wei Zheng looked at Changsun Wuji meaningfully, still worried that Changsun Wuji hadn't solved his knot yet.

"It seems that the old man was indeed wrong from the beginning."

Changsun Wuji got up, walked out of the study and looked up at the blue sky and white sun above his head.

It was not until this moment that he finally let go of the prejudice he had been holding on to for a long time.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji had really thought about it, Wei Zheng couldn't help but nodded. He really didn't want to see Changsun Wuji continue to fight against Chen Qiao in the future.For Changsun Wuji, this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

At this moment, Chen Qiao, who is currently at the center of the political whirlpool in the entire Chang'an City, is living an extremely comfortable life.

"Chen Qing enjoys it."

When he came to the sky prison, Li Shimin looked at Chen Qiao who was eating meat and drinking heavily in the prison with a smile, and cursed with a smile.

When Chen Qiao saw Li Shimin coming, Shi Shiran stood up and said, "I'm in jail now, I'm so bored!"

Seeing Chen Qiao's appearance, Li Shimin, who had been tortured by the memorial to impeach Chen Qiao for a day, finally laughed out loud.

"Sure enough, as you expected, as soon as you were locked up, those impatient fish jumped out of sleep one by one."

Chen Qiao poured a glass of wine for Li Shimin, then raised his own glass and said with a smile: "Those people are really in a daze, how come no one sees that His Majesty is playing with me today?"

Li Shimin also picked up the wine glass, and after drinking the wine in the glass, he snorted coldly: "They have been impatient for a long time, and there is no time to tell whether you and I are playing a show."

The two of them hadn't spoken for a long time when they heard footsteps hurriedly outside.

"Your Majesty! The eldest grandson is seeking an audience outside the Tai Chi Hall!"

Grandson Wuji?Chen Qiao and Li Shimin looked at each other. To be honest, neither of them thought that Changsun Wuji would be involved in this matter before.

"What did he say?"

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

The eunuch stood not far away and replied: "Master Changsun said that he came here for General Chen's affairs."

Sure enough, upon hearing what the eunuch said, Chen Qiao frowned, wondering if this old man was still thinking of throwing stones at him?

"Chen Qing, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to see what the auxiliary machine is going to do." Li Shimin comforted him and stood up, "That will be the case for today, I will go first."

"Okay, Your Majesty, go slowly."

In the palace at this moment, Changsun Wuji bowed and saluted Li Shimin.

"What's the matter, Situ?"

Changsun Wuji and Chen Qiao had always been at loggerheads, but at this time, when they entered the palace to face the saint, everyone would think that Changsun Wuji was going to beat the dog in the water.

"Your Majesty, I think the treatment of Chen Qiao today is unfair. Although I am very displeased with Chen Qiao's temperament, the crimes made by the people at Yushitai today are mostly fabricated. Your Majesty should not So hasty!"

Li Shimin was a little surprised by Changsun Wuji's words. He looked at Changsun Wuji who was standing in front of him in surprise, and asked, "The auxiliary machine is pleading for Chen Qiao?"

Changsun Wuji nodded frankly. Although he and Wei Zheng had already guessed the joint, but Changsun Wuji, who had already offended Chen Qiao, still inevitably wanted to let both Li Shimin and Chen Qiao know that his eldest grandsun Wuji was different.

"Why?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Changsun Wuji who was standing opposite him.

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, but he did not have any doubts about Li Shimin's suspicion, he had already made mental preparations before entering the palace.

"Because Chen Qiao and the Black Dragon Army have already made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, the people of Li, and your Majesty." Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji shook his head and smiled, "Before the minister Dazed, now, I think everything through."

"Is it just because of these?" Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji. He didn't believe that Changsun Wuji would come to surrender just because of this reason.

Changsun Wuji smiled miserably, and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Your Majesty."

"Then tell me, what are you doing this time?"

"Your Majesty, the empress is the sister of my mother and my compatriots, and Princess Changle is my niece whom I have loved since I was a child. My eldest grandson's family has always been taught by ancestors not to be bullied and killed by the same clan. Now Chen Qiao is the princess' husband-in-law. Your Majesty Don’t dare to violate the teachings of the ancestors.”

It's just another excuse.

But before Li Shimin opened his mouth, he heard Changsun Wuji say again: "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans. Now that I am getting older, I have to worry about the children behind me."

I'm afraid that this is the only reason why Changsun Wuji came to show his favor.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji through the candlelight that had just been lit, and finally confirmed that Changsun Wuji had spoken all his truths.

"That's the case, the auxiliary machine should know what I want."

Under the candlelight, Changsun Wuji looked up at Li Shimin who was flickering behind the candlelight.
