Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 300 Still Not Reconciled

Jinling City, in the back garden of the Wei Mansion.

Next to the rockery pavilion, there is a stone pavilion. The servants around it have been cleared out, and only three noble men are here enjoying the moon and lotus while having a drink.

The breeze is coming slowly, the water waves are calm, the rockery is flying waterfalls, and the pool water is quiet.

These three people are none other than the three leaders of the current Song Party, Wei Cen, minister of punishment, Feng Yanlu, minister of industry, and Chen Jue, deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

A few days ago, the poisonous plan to ambush and kill Su Chen was set up by Chen Jue among these three people.

Wei Cen put down his wine glass, coughed, and said, "Just before the gate of the palace was closed, there was news from the palace that the boy surnamed Su was very dead and did not die. I heard that he was injured, but he was hiding in the mountain village. After a catastrophe, he was found by government officials and Jin Wuwei, and he was brought into the palace to be treated for the second prince and empress Zhou successively."

"Hmph, this kid is lucky!" Chen Jue sent a lot of dead men this time, but they failed, which was a bit of a slap in the face, after all, he said too much earlier.

Feng Yanlu looked at Chen Jue and asked, "Those people, didn't they leave behind any hidden dangers?"

Chen Jue shook his head and said: "The people sent out are all dead soldiers. The mission failed, and they didn't come back, and they didn't stay alive."

Feng Yanlu was silent for a while, and understood the fate of those assassins.

Wei Cen, the servant of the Criminal Department, continued: "We went to the Criminal Department and found some badges and tokens of Wu Desi of the Great Song Dynasty on the spot. We took the opportunity to exaggerate it. Everyone knows that it can be blamed on the secret spy of the Song State for the time being. Because it involves The two countries have diplomatic relations, and our officials have long had the heart to avoid and fear war, and they will definitely not seek trouble with the Song State in a big way. Therefore, he can only suppress it and send Jin Wuwei and Dali Temple to investigate secretly. "

Feng Yanlu is an old man who seeks the country. Although he himself lacks ability and general strategy, he is old enough to be cautious enough. He said, "It's better to be cautious. Keep an eye on the progress of this case. We must not involve us."

Chen Juedao: "Don't worry, there will be no evidence against us left at the scene, but Su Chen was not eliminated, do you want to find another opportunity to do it?"

Wei Cen shook his head and said, "No need for now, this time there is a lot of noise, if we continue to attack, we may expose ourselves, so let's not touch him for now."

Feng Yanlu nodded in agreement, he didn't want to attract attention, and it caused extra problems. After all, he ambushed and killed the decree-delivering team and killed so many guards in the palace.

Although they are all important officials of the imperial court, they have great power and enjoy some treatment, but such crimes are publicized, and they can't stand it!

Feng Yanlu also sighed unwillingly: "I can't kill for a while, but if Su Chen is still alive, he will continue to save Queen Zhou and the second prince, and won the favor of the officials. When the time comes, the sun party will also rise, so we have to stay apart." Even if the method is a little roundabout, how can it be destroyed?"

Wei Cen murmured: "There are people in our palace, and those who are saved in the palace, whether it is Shangyao Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangshe Bureau, etc., have our nails, they can play tricks on decocting and delivering medicines, Whether it's the empress or the second prince, if one dies, the officials will definitely blame Su Chen, even if he won't be imprisoned and executed, it will at least destroy the official's good impression of Su Chen, thus alienating the Sun Party faction."

Both Feng Yanlu and Chen Jue were silent for a while, thinking that although this method was insidious enough, it could have the effect of killing people with a knife.

When they dealt with the prince back then, they used this poisonous trick. In the end, Su Chen's father, Su Mingyuan, was one of the royal officials of the Shangyao Bureau, the chief imperial physician, responsible for treating the prince Li Hongji's illness, and was involved in it.In the end, it was because the members of the Song Party tampered with the herbal medicine, resulting in the sudden death of the prince, and Su Mingyuan became the scapegoat.

Even though Li Jing knew that this matter was tricky, he finally executed Su Mingyuan, the culprit, to calm down the complicated situation and give an explanation to the court ministers and the people in the harem.

Otherwise, officials who support Prince Li Hongji's party will inevitably continue to argue, demand a thorough investigation of the matter, attack other forces, and take the opportunity to break the balance and eradicate dissidents. This will affect the stability of the court. Therefore, Li Jing did not expand the matter.

What's more, at that time, Li Jing was already very dissatisfied with Li Hongji's poisonous killing of the emperor's uncle Li Jingsui. Jing then had the idea of ​​​​changing heirs.

In addition, Li Jing planned to give up the strong Li Hongji, and chose the weak Li Yu as the new heir. This is also a deep consideration, because Li Jing knows that with the national strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to fight against the powerful northern regime. The result of the confrontation between the Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty was only destruction.Therefore, Li Jing felt that letting a self-willed militant like Li Hongji fight against the Northern Song Dynasty would only attract more killings and faster destruction. With a benevolent Li Yu, even if he succumbed a little, he could still compromise and prolong his life. Guo Zuo.

Wei Cen asked suspiciously: "Which one of the two sick patients in the palace should be dealt with will deal a greater blow to the officials and make them hate Su Chen from now on?"

"Feng felt that King Zheng hoped that the second prince Li Zhongxuan would die first, so the only heir of the official family is the eldest prince Li Zhongyu. He is only seven years old, and there are still more than ten years before the age of the weak crown. What about other changes? At that time, the official family will have no heirs, and King Zheng still has the hope of inheriting the throne!" Feng Yanlu explained.

Chen Jue picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said with a smile: "I agree with Brother Feng's proposal. The second prince is the most suitable. After all, he is of the blood of the official family. In the past ten years, he has only these two heirs. Get rid of one person. The king has more chances."

Feng Yanlu smiled and said: "If the second prince has an accident and is not rescued, try to find a way to pass the news to Queen Zhou's ears. Mother and child are connected, and the queen, who is already terminally ill, suddenly hears the pain of losing her son, maybe it can speed up the process." His condition worsened and he died, and when the time comes, neither of the two lives will be saved, so Su Chen can only apologize with death."

"This strategy is brilliant!" Wei Cen couldn't help laughing.

Chen Jue also nodded, thinking that this strategy is feasible, but it is a difficulty for Su Chen, let's see how he gets through it.

"Let Su Chen continue on the same path as his father, Su Mingyuan, and be poisoned in prison. It's over!"

Feng Yanlu asked: "Then who should be sent to execute it?"

Wei Cen said: "Let's move a pawn in Shangyao Bureau, and let him replace it with complementary herbs or poisons. It is very convenient to find suitable herbs from the inventory. Otherwise, bring poisons into the palace from outside and check them layer by layer. Too dangerous."

Chen Jue and Feng Yanlu nodded. Wei Cen has many contacts in the palace, so he can find someone to handle this matter.
