Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Sansi didn't go out for five whole days. He suffered the biggest defeat in his life. He was about to reach the top of the mountain, but he lost his footing and fell into the abyss. It was a matter of life and death.

    At this time, Wu San wanted to die. The cruelty of the political struggle made him realize his greatest weakness. He did not get the support of the Qing faction and the military, but supported him from the Wuhuang faction, such as Zong Chuke,  Yang Zaisi and others remained silent at the critical moment. They simply watched him fall into the abyss without caring.

    In the room, Wu Sansi sighed, sometimes resenting the ruthlessness of the Holy Emperor, and sometimes gnashing his teeth at the viciousness of the Li family.

    At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wu Sansi said angrily: "Get out! I don't see anyone."

    "Father-in-law, he is my son-in-law!"

    It was his son-in-law Cao Wen. Wu Sansi's anger disappeared and he said, "Come in!"

    Cao Wen opened the door and walked in. Because of Wu Sansi's great support, Cao Wen could be said to have prospered. Four years ago, he was promoted from the county magistrate to the governor of Lu. In less than a year, he was transferred back to Beijing to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry.  Last year, he was transferred to the position of Minister of Rites.

    Wu Sansi lost his most capable military adviser due to the death of Mr. Ming. To a certain extent, Cao Wen replaced Mr. Ming as Wu Sansi's military adviser.

    For Cao Wen, he certainly hopes that Wu Sansi can become the prince or even ascend the throne as the emperor. Then he can at least become the prime minister at the head of hundreds of officials, and even be crowned the king. Then his life will not be in vain.

    So when Wu Sansi lost the opportunity to be crowned prince and was demoted to Liang Guogong, it was also a major blow to Cao Wen.

    In fact, it wasn't that Cao Wen didn't want to give Wu Sansi advice, but that it happened so suddenly, and a series of swift and violent blows made him unable to react for a moment. By the time he realized something, the battle was over, and Wu Sansi was completely defeated. At this time, he  I can only plan some future solutions for Wu Sansi.

    Cao Wen walked into the room and bowed deeply, "My son-in-law, meet your father-in-law!"

    "Sit down!" Wu Sansi waved his hand tiredly.

    Cao Wen sat down and tentatively tried to comfort Wu Sansi: "The matter has come to this. Please be more open-minded, father-in-law. Take care of yourself. Maybe there is a chance to make a comeback."

    ¡°A comeback?¡±

    Wu Sansi sneered, "Anything can happen in this world, but the comeback you mentioned will never happen again. I have seen through it that what Wu Chengsi can't get, I can't get either.  "

    Cao Wen was silent for a moment and whispered: "Father-in-law, have you ever thought about who is planning this behind the scenes?"

    "You don't have to think about it. I know very well in my heart that the prophecy and the announcement were made by Wu Chengsi. He was retaliating for the poisonous scripture case I originally targeted him. As for Su Honghui's letter, it was either Li Dan or Li Xian, or  It was Princess Taiping, that bitch, and Li Chongrun was beaten to death with a stick, which was a big blow for me."

    "Have your father-in-law ever thought about Li Zhen?"

    Wu Sansi was startled, "It should have nothing to do with him! He has been away from Beijing for many years, how could he suddenly be involved in this matter?"

    Although Wu Sansi said this, he was also confused. He also felt that what happened recently seemed to be similar to Li Zhen's methods, and asked: "Do you think it has something to do with him?"

    "My son-in-law has no evidence, but I know he is in Luoyang now."

    "He is normal in Luoyang. After all, he is Di Renjie's son-in-law. Mrs. Di is seriously ill, so he must come back. But when you say it like this, I feel that there seems to be a bit of his shadow."

    Wu Sansi thought for a moment and said to Cao Wen: "Actually, what I am most concerned about now is what is the attitude of His Majesty. Is he ready to make Li Dan the crown prince?"

    Cao Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, can't you see? The Holy Emperor will not appoint anyone for the time being, and I got a reliable message from Konghe Mansion. This time the Holy Emperor did not appoint Li Dan as the crown prince. I am afraid it was the intention of the Zhang brothers.  ¡±

    Although Cao Wen is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he is also one of the bachelors of Konghe Mansion. He is the bridge between Wu Sansi and the Zhang brothers. Since Cao Wen said that the news is reliable, it must be true. Wu Sansi suddenly became energetic and hurriedly  Asked: "Are the Zhang brothers also opposed to the Li family being crown prince?"

    "Actually, it's not that they are against it, but that they want to get the maximum benefit from it, so my son-in-law said that there are still variables in this matter. As long as the Holy Emperor is not in a hurry to establish a prince, then my father-in-law will still have a chance to make a comeback."

    This time Wu Sansi was finally convinced. He seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope when he was already desperate. In fact, if you think about it, Li Xian became emperor and then came down, and Li Dan became emperor and came down. The so-called emperor and prince are in the Holy Spirit.  It was just like a plaything in her hands. How often had she considered the instability of the country?

    Although I have temporarily lost the chance to become the crown prince,Yes, but as long as the Holy Emperor still considers letting the Wu family ascend the throne, then she can only choose herself. Wu Sansi, who originally wanted to die like a dead insect, came to life again under Cao Wen's persuasion. He immediately asked: "Which virtuous son-in-law?"  What do you think I should do?¡±

    Cao Wen smiled and said: "My father-in-law only needs to do one thing in a few years, help the weak and the poor, care for orphans and children, and try to gain as much fame as possible."

    Like Wu Sansi, Li Xian, the king of Luling, almost collapsed. However, his eldest son Li Chongrun suffered an unreasonable disaster. He was beaten to death with a cane at Yingtianmen for the crime of making irresponsible remarks on government affairs. Li Xian wanted to cry but had no tears.  Trapped in a kind of despair.

    In the room, the third son Li Chongjun suppressed his grief and whispered to his father, "Father, things have happened. There is no use being sad. Try to be more open-minded."

    Li Xian was filled with grief and anger. He put his cane on the ground and said, "I just want to know what crime my son has committed, and I want to use him for surgery! Could it be that the Li family can kill at will, but she has never killed anyone from the Wu family?  "

    "Dalang was killed because you were too depressed!" Princess Wei Lian appeared at the door. She was a little better than Li Xian. After all, Li Chongrun was not her biological child. Although she was equally annoyed, her annoyance was not that Li Chongrun was killed.  Killing, but because the husband failed to live up to expectations and was so weak, no wonder he was bullied by others.

    However, to a certain extent, Li Chongrun's disappearance was more conducive to her complete control of the palace. Once Li Chongrun died, no one would be able to compete with her. What she had to do now was to restore her husband's bad image in the heart of the Holy Emperor. She could not be killed because of Li Chongrun.  The incident affected her husband's succession to the throne, so she first asked her husband to go to the palace to plead guilty.

    The appearance of his wife made Li Xian silent again. He knew the conflict between his eldest son and his wife, and he didn't want to hear his wife say hurtful words again.

    Wei Lian winked at Li Chongjun. Li Chongjun had no choice but to get up and leave, leaving the couple alone in the room.

    Wei Lian sat down opposite her husband and sighed: "I am also very sad about Dalang's misfortune. I asked specifically that Dalang met with misfortune because he was identified as the murderer of Zhang Jingxiong's case."

    "Did Zhang Jingxiong be killed by Dalang?" Li Xian said coldly after a long while.

    "Of course not! Your brother sent someone to kill Zhang Jingxiong."

    As Wei Lian spoke, she watched every subtle expression of Li Xian. When she saw Li Xian trembled, she knew her words were effective. In fact, Wei Lian didn't know who killed Zhang Jingxiong. She suspected that Li Xian was related to Li Xian.  It was related because Li Zhen had approached Li Chongrun before, but Wei Lian didn't want to mention Li Zhen. She wanted to involve Li Dan in this matter.

    "Why did he want to kill Zhang Jingxiong?" Li Xian asked in a hoarse voice.

    "Perhaps it's to deal with Wu Sansi! Wasn't Wu Sansi also removed from the title of king? He completely lost the opportunity to be crowned prince."

    Li Xian was silent again. He also heard about the stormy attack Wu Sansi suffered and lost the chance to become the prince. So in order to calm down the anger of the Wu family, his mother killed Chongrun, who was her eldest grandson!  How could she do it?

    At this time, Webster whispered again: "I also heard a piece of news. The reason why my mother identified Dalang as the murderer was because the real murderer left a line, 'The murderer, Lu' Do you understand?"  "

    Li Xian trembled all over, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "My brother won't do it. He won't harm me!"

    "You idiot!"

    Wei Lian finally became furious and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Have you forgotten what happened in Fangzhou? Who pretended to be Xingtang and framed you? Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? There is only one emperor in the Tang Dynasty, kill you  , that position belongs to him, if you don¡¯t avenge yourself, you have to protect him!¡±

    "That's enough!"

    Li Xian finally couldn't help but yelled, "The person is dead, just let me be quiet for a while."

    Wei Lian was stunned, her eyes widening. He dared to yell at her. He was so scared. At this moment, Li Chongjun timidly appeared outside the lobby again, "Father, mother, brother Cheng Qi sent by the fourth uncle."  Send a letter."

    "Give me the letter!" Wei Lian reacted very quickly and stepped forward to grab the letter from Li Chongjun's hand.

    Li Chongjun had practiced martial arts and his body was extremely flexible. He dodged his mother, handed the letter to his father, turned around and ran away. Wei Lian was so angry that she said, "Little bastard, watch me deal with you later!"

    At this time, Li Xian had already opened the letter, read it hastily, and threw the letter into the incense burner before his wife came to grab it. Wei Lian couldn't grab it and stamped her feet angrily, "Are you going to make me mad to death?"  ?¡±

    Li Xian said extremely calmly: "My brother said that he didn't kill Zhang Jingxiong, and he didn't frame me."

    "Who killed that?" Wei Lian asked, glaring at him angrily.

    ? ?Xianxian ignored her, closed his eyes, and fell into silence. He was also very sad. Although his brother didn't say it clearly, he understood his brother's hint. It was their sister Princess Taiping who sent someone to kill Zhang Jingxiong.  In other words, it was his biological sister who framed him.

    Wei Lian was furious. Her husband dared to treat her like this and didn't take her seriously at all. She was angry and resentful at this time. She was angry that her husband dared to talk back to her. It was useless to hate her husband. She wanted to give up the throne to her brother and let her go.  All her hard work over the years was in vain.

    But Wei Lian had no choice but to stamp her foot, "Just wait and see, you useless thing will die in the hands of your brother sooner or later!"

    She turned around and left angrily. As soon as she reached the door, she heard Li Xian let out a long sigh and said, "I'll go and apologize to my mother tomorrow!"

    At night, Li Zhen sat alone in his room, thinking silently. He would return to Chang'an in two days, but he couldn't relax. He also didn't expect that Li Chongrun would become the final victim. I don't know which link was wrong.  If the problem is solved, Li Chongrun will encounter misfortune.

    But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, the whole story flowed before his eyes like running water. The problem arose with Princess Taiping. She took away the assassination of Zhang Jingxiong. At that time, he felt a little uncomfortable.  Sure, but he still didn't expect that Princess Taiping would blame Li Xian.

    Li Zhen didn't know what her purpose was, whether she wanted to help Prime Minister Li Dan eradicate his political opponents, or she had other agendas, but at least he understood that in the face of the struggle for the throne, family affection seemed so pale, which made Li Zhen  For the first time, Zhen had the idea of ??withdrawing from the power field.

    Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh. If he supports Li Dan or Li Xian seizes the throne, what will be his fate?  Glory and wealth or becoming a general and serving as a prime minister?  If his surname was not Li, maybe both were possible, but when he found out his true life experience, he knew clearly that his fate would not be different from that of ordinary people. Neither Li Dan nor Li Xian would let him become an ordinary person.  .

    So where is his fate?

    Li Zhen walked slowly to the window and looked at the dark night with his hands behind his hands. His heart was full of worry and confusion.
