Chapter 65 Advance and Retreat Unpredictable
Chapter 65: Progress and retreat are inaccurate and misfortune is difficult to predict
There were not as many people watching as before, but after hearing this, all the big guys immediately put down what they were doing and came to Helan Minzhi's mansion.
As I came over and listened to the reports ahead, I was thinking that things were getting bigger.
More than a dozen lives still happened in the capital. That was not a big problem. Duke Zhou wanted to insult the little princess of a few years old, but the prince castrated Duke Zhou again.
Things are getting bigger and bigger.
I was extremely dissatisfied with the two old gods in Luoyang who were there and did not say a word. There was no need for all the following things to happen. If I wanted to revive the dignity of the royal family, I immediately issued a strict order. Is the relatives of the outside world still the royal family?
Or they wanted to cover up the royal scandal, give the queen a face, take it lightly, find a group of surrogate ghosts, arrange Helan Minzhi to another state, and the matter was over, and then it dispersed. But they didn't say a word, delayed it again and again, causing the conflict to intensify, and finally today's big event happened.
When he arrived at Helan Minzhi's mansion, Li Wei was carrying Li Lingyue out and running all the way. It was noon again. The layer of yellow substance that was faked to have symptoms dripped with sweat. However, no official thought about it carefully, and thought that the prince had encountered something like realgar powder when he saved the princess.
Dai Zhide said: "Your Highness, why can't you wait for a few more days?"
The confrontation in front of the Xu family has been sent to Dongdu with a quick report, so there is no need to castrate Helan Minzhi at this time.
But this sentence made Li Wei quite unhappy and said coldly: "You are all central officials in the court. For the sake of the court, I know that they are all day and night. But most of you are also in charge of the Eastern Palace. People outside also say that the officials in Chang'an belong to the Eastern Palace system."
This sentence is true. At first, Li Wei didn't know that when he was talking to Yao Yuanchong and others, he realized that strictly speaking, Dai Zhide and others, including the retired Xu Jingzong, were all officials of the Eastern Palace system. Of course, if you are in the Eastern Palace system, if you are not in the Republic of China, it would be a joke. For example, Xu Jingzong was mostly hostile to himself.
But speaking it in front of everyone is a bit unkind.
Li Wei said again: "Gu knows that the father is healthy and healthy, and he is the father. You have avoided suspicion with Gu every day, and Gu is also restrained to avoid misunderstandings from his father. But since Gu was assassinated, all kinds of things have happened. Gu doesn't know where you nominally officials of the Eastern Palace system are!"
At least you can help. You can’t avoid suspicion to such an extent!
In fact, it was said a little bit. The memorials sent to Luoyang were still spoke from the position of the prince. But Helan Minzhi was the only relative of the empress and was mourning. Especially they knew some inside story. When the wife of Wei State died, the emperor had always tolerated Helan Minzhi. It was impossible to have no worries. Whether it was the royal family or relative of the empress, there was a strong queen above, so we should avoid suspicion.
But Li Wei's words are not without reason.
It is okay to avoid suspicion, but this time, the big guys in Chang'an avoid suspicion and avoid suspicion and a little ruthless.
From kidnapping the princess to assassinating the prince, except for Liu Rengui's passionateness, other officials were at least very calm on the surface, which made Helan Minzhi even more illusioned, and so the tragedy began to take place again.
Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenguan and others felt ashamed when they heard the prince’s words.
"Brother, I'm afraid," Li Lingyue said with her head stretched out from Li Wei's arms.
So scared!
I was not afraid of the world before, but everyone spoiled her and even began to look down on Li Wei. Many people have treated her like Helan Minzhi?
"No, no, we will go back immediately," Li Wei patted Li Lingyue's head and comforted her. The anger became strong, and said, "I don't know what the imperial court spent countless finances every year to establish the Eastern Palace system. Is it necessary to avoid suspicion, but should be more cold and deaf. It is better to cancel it and save a batch of money, give the soldiers more food to fill their stomachs, give the people more clothes to keep the cold, and save some more disaster victims!"
This sentence made Dai Zhide and others unable to get down to the level.
We can't say how bad they are. They are very kind to officials. The key is that they want to do things, but the prince himself did not do anything before, so how can he express his opinion? We can't run to the prince and say, "Crown Prince, build a team, are you impatient to live?"
Even if you build a team, you can't say that you have to understand it. Besides, they are old, unlike Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong who is only about forty years old, and is at the grassroots level, and are ambitious. In their career, they only seek stability and do their jobs, but they have no ambition to take risks.
But these words made them unfamiliar inside and outside.
Just when they didn't know how to answer, Li Xian and Li Xian came over with a large group of guards.
Brothers go into battle, father and son fight.
When something happened to the younger sister, the boss started to do it. The other brothers couldn't sit still and called some guards, along with some noble children who were in school in Hongwenguan, rushed over.
This situation is rare...
The ministers were amused and crying, especially when they saw Li Xian rolling his elbows, like a pig slaughter, howling all the way. A pair of big hammers got from somewhere in his hand probably couldn't lift them up, and they couldn't lift them anymore. They held them in their arms and rushed over, not knowing what to say.
Xu Qidan whispered in Li Wei's ear: "The eunuch is also an eunuch. Just drag Helan Minzhi in front of the hall. Do you have the courage to execute him? The situation has calmed down. To be honest, it is still a royal dispute. If you spread it like this, your Majesty and the Queen are probably unhappy."
At this time, Li Weihuo was finished and the person was castrated. His anger gradually faded. He hugged Li Lingyue and stopped Li Xian and the others.
Li Xian asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Li Wei said it all the time.
Li Xian was sweating on his forehead. He didn't meet this elder brother much. Speaking of which, the elder brother was also very elegant and studied all day long. How did he do castration?
The fourth brother took Li Lingyue's little hand and coaxed Li Lingyue. Li Xian was relieved after hearing this and said loudly: "Okay, okay, have you cut it completely?"
Li Wei also told him to faint, so he hurriedly handed Li Lingyue to Li Xian, covered his mouth, and said, "Let's go back, I believe that this time the father and mother can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb."
After hearing this, Li Xian pouted a few words in his mouth, probably because he was dissatisfied with what he said, but he didn't understand what he said.
The four noble brothers returned, and the officials in the capital were relieved. They collected the witnesses, looked at the scene, wrote memorials to Dongdu. They ordered Helan Minzhi's mansion to be blocked. The matter in Zhongnan Mountain can be said to be stolen and blamed. This time, they can't be cunning. Although these servants did not participate, they could not report the information.
If things were not big, the emperor might have dealt with them secretly for the sake of face. But after the prince's outrage, it can be said that by night, almost every citizen in the capital knew about this shocking scandal. The servants could not escape the relationship!
But Li Wei was still holding his breath.
People always have to be angry, the boss or the powerful, the children are unfilial, the parents are partial to the parents, the strong classmates and colleagues are also angry, and the families are roared by their wives, and the families are roared by their wives.
But he is the crown prince, and he is bullied so much that he has to be restrained everywhere, so he is unwilling to give up.
I was so angry that I was worried, and I ran all the way. My health was not very good at all. At most, I was a little better than the original one, but I had only been exercising for a month, and this time I fell ill. Of course, the imperial doctor also diagnosed this time.
After drinking the soup, I fell asleep.
The next day, Jiang Luo came in and reported that Yao Yuanchong and Ximen Chong were asking for a meeting.
"Let them come in."
The two of them walked in, looked around, and Li Wei waved his hand and asked the eunuchs and palace maids to go down.
Yao Yuanchong said: "I have heard about yesterday's incident and discussed it with Mr. Wei last night."
Before Li Wei could think of anything else, he asked, "What have you discussed?"
He had all put his ideas on his sister, but he had castrated Helan Minzhi. Is this Helan Minzhi more important than his parents' eyes, and even his younger sister is not as good as him?
"Grandpa Dai is right, Prince, you should not castrate Duke Zhou." Sure enough, Yao Yuanchong said this at the beginning.
"Why did this come from?"
"Oh, what happened to the Xu family, Your Highness, do you think Your Majesty can continue to indulge Duke Zhou? How many days can he live? But you castrated Duke Zhou. Although you are protecting the little princess, what does it mean? You are dissatisfied with Your Majesty and the Queen not dealing with Duke Zhou for a long time."
Li Wei was about to tell the difference, but when he thought to himself, he was really dissatisfied. He couldn't tell the difference!
"The cause of the incident was caused by Duke Zhou. This was unexpected to Your Majesty and the Queen. But when the people talked about it, they always said that Your Majesty and the Queen did not deal with this matter in time. Alas, it's a pity that I was not on the scene yesterday, otherwise I would definitely advise Your Highness to calm down, first rescue the little princess, and then try every means to cover up the matter. This is the best strategy, and this is the real protection of Your Majesty and the Queen."
"Yao Jun's words are very correct."
It is indeed the best strategy, but Li Wei was thinking that it is necessary to avoid taboos. Don’t think that you are the crown prince, and you are the best in the world. But if you really want to be like this, it’s better not to have this crown prince, but at worst you will run away!
Not very agreeable.
Yao Yuanchong looked at the change of Li Wei's face and knew that he actually did not agree with it. However, if this happened to him, he would also be angry. Besides, it would be useless to say it now, just wake up the prince. In the future, you must calm down. So he continued: "Not only can your Majesty and the Queen not get out of the stage, but the officials in the capital were unable to get out of the stage because of the force of Your Highness. It is not entirely a disadvantage. This allows Your Majesty and the Queen to see Your Highness and sincerely protect the little princess, and they love the little princess the most."
Speaking of this, he also had a bitter face. The three of them were deducing the consequences last night, but they couldn't deduce them.
He also said: "But I guess that your Majesty and the Queen will immediately summon Your Highness to Dongdu. The date may be after the two princesses get married."
"Oh, why?"
"After this incident, your Majesty and the Queen will at least think that your Majesty is dissatisfied with your Majesty. Duke Zhou made your Majesty have this idea. But calling Your Majesty to the Eastern Capital was the result of the combination of the Xu Mansion and yesterday's incident. It was mainly soldiers, Your Majesty."
"What's the soldier?"
"Have you not heard of Maodun?"
Maodun, who knew the surname Zidun, was a famous Chanyu of the Xiongnu. He asked casually: "Maodun, what's wrong?"
