Chapter 60 Where is the way forward
The residence of the second prince of Kyoto.
Clang.
Bang.
The second prince Wei Tianxun kicked over a low table and broke a vase on the table. Then he sat on the ring chair in anger, clenched his hand into a fist and smashed it hard at the handle.
Just now, his subordinates reported to him that Chen Luneng, the Dali Temple who was in charge of the Liu Xuting case, actually gave a judgment on Liu Xuting and reported it to his father, but he just learned about it!
Exile?
After half a year of hard work, Liu Xuting was sentenced to become a military officer! Not to mention the Liu Xu River in the northwest, even the entire Liu family is unscathed except Liu Xuting!
Wei Tianxun became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He pounded the handle of the chair twice as if he didn't know the pain. His eyes seemed to be covered in blood and he murmured: "Seventh brother, I really underestimate you!"
Liu Xuting has been watching him for half a year. He wanted to act carefully and avoid others, but he didn't expect that Lao Qi took advantage of the loophole.
There is also the Yun family, he never expected that even the Yun family would be involved.
I originally wanted to send Wu Yunwu to the position of joining the Northwest through Liu Xuting's affairs. As long as the Northwest Army is under his control, he will be sure to win.
Who knew that it was just a matter of the last shot, and Liu Xuting's affairs were exposed at this time. Now he really shot himself in the foot, and even his father suspected him.
It's so hateful!
There is also Wu Yunwu who was not doing anything. If the bitch in his family had had a quarrel with the Liu family, he would have been attacked by Liu Xuting as planned, how could the matter develop to this point today?
Now let alone the Northwest Army, how can he regain the trust of his father?
Wei Tianxun's eyes were filled with despair.
...
The residence of the seventh prince in Kyoto.
If a maid enters Wei Tianming's room at this time, it will be very strange. Why would two people's voices come from the bedroom where only the seventh prince is alone, or two men's voices?
Of course, the premise is that the maid has the will to hear what she hears!
Wei Tianming sat on the chair in front of the desk and looked sideways at Lu Shiqing who was picking up a tea cup to drink tea. "Luneng has reported the verdict to his father, and the father has already approved it."
Originally, Liu Xuting was a commoner, and his case did not need to cause such a big disturbance.
However, Liu Xuting was sensitive to his identity, and this matter involved his second brother, so with his help, he still made the matter ahead of the emperor.
Lu Shiqing returned to Kyoto ten days ago, and the emperor was happy to personally criticize him for half a month's leave.
After several days of trimming, my face was no longer tired, my body was refreshed, and my every move was elegant.
After hearing the seventh prince's words, he continued to pluck the teacup with his hands, "Luneng is your person, and the second prince was also suspicious of the emperor because of the Liu Xuting case. Now he was found to be in a wrong place and was confined to the mansion. This result is reasonable."
Wei Tianming did not comment.
Lu Shiqing said again: "You can sell Jiang Beiyun's face to this judgment. But in my opinion, I think you are a trick."
"Apu thinks I shouldn't sell the Yun family's face and let the Yun family escape from Liu Xuting's case?"
Lu Shiqing refused to comment, "I can understand that you don't want to offend the Yun family, and even want to make friends with the Yun family. But the Yun family plays a crucial role in the Liu Xuting incident. Let's not talk about whether they and Liu Xuting are really just a simple business relationship. Just say that now, you have taken all the credit for Liu Xuting in your business. The second prince will hate you for this, so I won't say it. Ziyang, aren't you afraid that the emperor will suspicion of you because of the Yun family?"
Wei Tianming has become accustomed to Lu Shiqing's suspicious personality, but if he thinks everything carefully and then acts like Lu Shiqing, he will not be able to achieve what he has today.
"A Pu, what you said is a little bit of a reason. But firstly, I can't afford to offend the Yun family now, and secondly, do you think your father wants to deal with the Yun family? You know how much effort the Yu Nanshuiyu Yun family has put in. There is also a war in the past few years. The Yun family did not contribute money and efforts. The father didn't want to touch the Yun family at all. This time, he just borrowed my hand to sell the Yun family's personal favors. Otherwise, you think the verdict of Luneng could be approved so easily?"
Lu Shiqing hasn't been to court for several months, so he doesn't know what the emperor thinks about the Liu Xuting case. Unexpectedly, Wei Tianming studied the emperor's thoughts so thoroughly.
So he nodded, "I'm really wrong after hearing what you said."
Wei Tianming didn't care about Lu Shiqing's mistakes. Those who accomplish great things have always been people who embrace all rivers and embrace the world. "A Pu, you and I have their own styles in their actions, so it's not surprising that you will be worried. Besides, if you hadn't noticed Liu Wenqing, how could I find the Yun family and the second brother?"
Lu Shiqing did not want to mention Liu Wenqing, so he pushed the teacup slightly and said: "Ziyang, since you let the Liu family go in the Liu Xuting case, it proves that the Liu family is not the second prince's person. So what are the second prince's plans for Liu Xuting, can you find out?"
Wei Tianming frowned when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "My second brother has set his sights on Liu Xuting and has spent so much effort on him. He should be trying to push his people to the position of joining the Northwest Army!"
Wei Tianming used to be like Lu Shiqing. When he learned that Liu Xuting was actually involved in his second brother, he also thought that Liu Xuting and even the entire Liu family were from his second brother.
But as he continued to investigate in depth, he found that three months ago, the second brother planned to secretly frame Liu Xuting. If it weren't for the reason that the second brother suddenly asked someone to stop, he might not have found out about this.
His second brother has always had a big appetite, but this time he actually made up his mind to the army. Could it be that his second brother still wants to rebel?
Wei Tianming thought that his second brother was actually rebellious, and his emotions fluctuated for a moment, his power was revealed, and his sharpness was revealed. The domineering aura that belonged to the natural nobleman spread out, which made Lu Shiqing next to him seem to have just come to his senses and sit opposite him. The seventh prince of the current Wei Dynasty was sitting opposite him.
Lu Shiqing actually speculated early in the morning that the second prince coveted the position of joining the northwest military. Although he has been confirmed by Wei Tianming, he still has something unknown.
"Since the second prince approached Liu Xuting but did not want to win over Liu Xuhe, who was the person who wanted to push the position of joining the northwest after Liu Xuhe? Ziyang, did you find out your eyebrows?"
Lu Shiqing already had a vague object of suspicion in his heart, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.
Wei Tianming's eyes darkened and he said with ruthlessness: "It should be the Wu Yunwu who made great contributions in Hexi."
Wu Yunwu was originally here to receive the reward, and even if he had the name of seeking relatives and worshiping ancestors, he should not be delayed until today. Although he found this strange, he did not take it seriously by a military governor.
But when he found out that his second brother wanted to frame Liu Xuting but suddenly stopped, he suddenly thought of Wu Yunwu.
The time when the second brother suddenly stopped was the time when the disagreement between Wu Yunwu's family and the Liu family caused a lot of controversy in Kyoto.
He didn't expect that Wu Yunwu was actually the second brother's person.
Wu Yunwu came from Hexi and lived in seclusion and did not interact with Kyoto officials. If something happened suddenly in Liuxuhe, then Wu Yunwu had a great chance of being favored by his father and promoted to the position of joining the northwest military, not to mention that Wu Yunwu had his second brother behind him as the pusher.
If so many things had happened by chance, the second brother would have been buried in the Northwest Army without knowing it!
He originally thought that his second brother was just a little more ambitious, but he did not expect that for his ambition, he ignored the stability of the border and the solidarity of the country.
Wei Tianming was ruthless in his heart, and the second brother was afraid he couldn't keep it!
Seeing that Wei Tianming's murderous intent was revealed, Lu Shiqing knew Wei Tianming's intention as if he had a heart of understanding, but he did not persuade him first as usual, and just looked straight at Wei Tianming, "Have you thought about it?"
Wei Tianming was not surprised to see Lu Shiqing see through his thoughts. He only had determination and described it as serious, "A Pu, I will not let anyone who wants to harm the country and country of Wei."
Lu Shiqing's expression remained unchanged, and he stared at Lu Shiqing word by word and said, "Even if this will expose you to all forces in advance and become the target of public criticism, even if the emperor will suspect that you are competing for more precautions on you, even if you will be in that position in the end?"
Wei Tianming knew in his heart how long he and Lu Shiqing had planned for that position and how much they worked. But if he compromised for that position just today, what is the difference between him and his second brother?
"I don't have to do that position. You know, what I have always sought is the peace and peace of the Great Wei Dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the foundation will not be dispersed for a hundred years! Even without me, there is still the fourth brother. Although the fourth brother is very romantic on the surface, he does not value the Great Wei in his heart. Besides, there are still fourteenth brothers in the palace. Although the fourteenth brother is still young now, if you are in the court for one day, you will definitely be able to support the fourteenth brother as a wise master."
Lu Shiqing was not moved by Wei Tianming's trust in him, nor was he moved by the spirit of sacrifice made by Wei Tianming carefully arranged. Instead, he felt a little sad.
The man in front of him was the future monarch he chose for the Great Wei Dynasty. He had strategy, ambitions, and benevolent hearts, and was the best candidate for the monarch.
But it is precisely because of this that he cannot persuade him at this moment. Wei Tianming's passionate and sharp-cut determination are all for the peace of the Great Wei, which is the basis for him to hit it off.
If he advises him to choose to be safe and choose to wait and see, the foundation for his cooperation with him will be destroyed.
So even if he had already regarded Wei Tianming as a good friend, he could only watch him walk on the uncertain future he chose.
...
Yuquan Villa, a suburb of Kyoto.
"Master, this is the case for Liu Xuting. The seventh prince made Liu Xuting privately digging an iron mine in Heihe Town. The second prince's case for Liu Xuting was exposed. The emperor also suspected that the second prince had found a mistake and put him under house arrest. However, the Jiangbei Yun family escaped from this matter." A man wearing a mysterious clothes and beating was bowing and talking.
If Bai Fuyao was present at this time, she would be shocked to find that what the man said was basically consistent with her plan, and the relationship between all the characters involved in the Liu Xuting case was even more thoroughly analyzed, as if everyone was in his control.
This man wearing a mysterious clothes and short-striking battle was Jiang Hu, who had met twice.
After saying that, Jiang Hu stood up straight, looking solemnly at the man holding a wooden spoon in front of the window and scooping water and watering flowers.
A ray of sunlight outside the window quietly penetrated through the gaps in the window, hitting the man standing in front of the window holding a wooden spoon, warm, like a lover's caress.
The man kept watering the man's hands, and the ink-colored sleeves embroidered with dark red patterns swayed lightly with the movement of his hands. In a leisurely manner, the man slowly spoke, "Why did the Yun family interfere in the northwest affairs? What does they have to do with the Northwest Army?"
Jiang Hu bowed and replied, "The head of the Yun family has always been low-key, and the Yun family is also solid. Our people have not found much information from the Yun family. However, the Yun family has never exceeded the line and seems to have nothing to do with the Northwest Army."
After watering the man in front of the window, he put the wooden spoon in his hand back into the water tank where several water lilies floated, causing a koi in the water tank to be frightened and swam around.
The man picked up another handful of gold scissors and pruned the branches and leaves of the flowers that had just been watered.
After the branches and leaves were almost finished, he said slowly: "Then let me change my question, what is the relationship between the Yun family and the Bai family? Who issued the order from Kyoto to Heihe Town?"
The man said it was neither light nor heavy, but Jiang Hu was frightened and sweated on his forehead.
The master had asked him to pay attention to the order from Kyoto to Heihe Town a long time ago. After all, if it weren't for the order that something happened to Liu Xuting's iron ore so coincidental, things wouldn't have developed like this today.
But..., "Master, the person who gave this order seems to have a deep background and is extremely cunning. After checking for a long time, our people still stood still and were even led to other directions. If... if we really do whatever we want, our people will probably be exposed to the other party."
After Jiang Hu finished speaking nervously, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and looked like he was not good at doing things well and was ready to die generously.
The man in the ink robe did not even look at him as a personal guard who was ready to apologize for his death. After trimming the branches and leaves, he turned around and walked slowly and calmly across Jianghu. He stood in front of a shelf where copper water basin was placed, and put his hands clearly tied into the basin and washed them.
After cleaning his hands, he took off the silk veil on the shelf and wiped his hands and said in a cold voice: "Since you can't find it now, then check it slowly. No matter how cunning wild cats are, they will be hungry and show their claws again!"
After saying that, I didn't know what happened, but I actually remembered the woman in the pavilion on the hillside of Fuquan Temple who was staring at him foolishly.
I was leaning lazily on the fence of the pavilion, looking at a camellia outside the pavilion like a loose eye. When I heard the movement outside the pavilion, my white jade-like translucent ears moved, and a stream of spiritual energy was also overflowing in my eyes, just like a cat who had just woken up and wanted to stretch out his claws to grab people, which made him unable to help but tease him.
Jiang Hu, who was already ready, pulled out his long sword and committed suicide on the spot as soon as his master gave an order, was stunned when he heard his master's words.
Ah? Wild Cat? When did the master become so girlish?
Could it be that the master has been single for a long time and even his "character" has changed!
Old lady! It’s amazing! If you don’t think of a solution, the Yanbei Palace will be defeated!
