Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 425 Arrangement for Design Investigation
One sentence explained the current situation of Wei Yunqi and Wei Qingjian.They can question King Chu's intentions, but they can't disrespect the order.Now the Tang court is in charge of the king of Chu. If they resist the order and do not respect it, it is tantamount to rebellion, and there is no way out.

In other words, they have only two paths, one path is to return to Chang'an obediently, and the other path is to rebel in place.

No matter which way, it is not 100% sure that they can save the lives of the two of them.Therefore, Wei Yunqi hesitated, and Wei Qingjian questioned.

Compared with Wei Yunqi, Wei Qingjian was obviously not stable enough, he jumped immediately after hearing Wei Siqi's threatening words.

"You and I are family, you just talk to me like this!"

Wei Siqi was not angry, but said: "It is precisely because we are a family that my nephew persuades my uncle not to do wrong things. I can assure the two uncles that His Highness the King of Chu will not harm the two uncles. "

"How do you guarantee it?" Wei Yunqi asked.

Wei Siqi said: "Uncle, if you don't go back to Chang'an with me, are you planning to bury the deposed prince with you?"

Wei Yunqi was silent.

This is where he is helpless, the superiors have to deal with him, unless he rebels, he has no choice.Because the prince is dead, there is no one in the court to be his backer.

Facing the powerful Chu King, he was actually very passive.

Although Wei Qingjian was not prudent, he was not a fool either. How could he fail to understand Wei Siqi's words so blatantly.

"Siqi, we are a family, tell me honestly, is the king of Chu going to kill us?"

"No." Wei Siqi was speechless, and really wanted to scold them for talking nonsense, but for Wei Shi's consideration, he endured it and said patiently, "If Your Highness wants to kill the two uncles, why should I come here?"

In the end, Wei Yunqi chose to go back to Chang'an with Wei Siqi.

Because he knew he had no choice, either obediently go to Chang'an, or rebel on the spot.The latter is tantamount to seeking death directly, while the former can still struggle for a while.

After all, Chu Wang's concubine is Wei's daughter, and Wei Siqi is also Chu Wang's confidant, maybe he can escape.

When Li Zhiyun received the news from Deng Hao, Ren Gui, and Wei Yunqi, he seemed quite happy.

Originally, he planned that if they were not obedient and surrendered, then he would resort to the last resort.

That is, exterminate!

It's just that he didn't want to do it unless it was absolutely necessary.Because the news about the crown prince and King Qi had just spread, if someone rebelled openly at this time, it would be tantamount to slapping the court in the face, or even slapping him.

"How does Your Highness plan to arrange Ren Gui and Wei Yunqi?" In Shence Mansion, Du Ruhui asked the man in black opposite him while holding a white chess piece.

The man was dressed in black, tall and tall, with a waterfall of black hair hanging loosely over his shoulders.His eyebrows are like swords piercing into the sky, sharp and thick, his eyes are slender and phoenix, but if you look closely, they are inner double eyelids.The bridge of the nose is straight, the corners of the mouth are smiling slightly, and every move exudes an indescribable temperament.

"What does Keming think?" Li Zhiyun took out a black chess piece from the chess jar and put it down.

click.

As if waiting for some rhythm, after the black chess fell, Du Ruhui said cautiously: "I thought that Ren Gui could be the governor of Bianzhou, sharpen his mind, watch the aftermath, and then make a decision. He has talent and can be reused. However, I don't know what kind of heart this person is."

For some reason, Du Ruhui felt that after the death of the Crown Prince and King Qi, some changes had taken place in His Royal Highness.

He couldn't say what the specific changes were. He just felt that, facing His Highness now, he would subconsciously become more careful.

"Since you don't know, it's better to try one or two."

"Dare to ask His Highness to teach you."

Li Zhiyun chuckled and said, "The current Duke Xun is Wei Yuanzhao."

"Yes."

"I heard that this man is greedy for money and stingy, abused his nephews, occupied many fields, and blatantly violated the equal land system implemented by the imperial court. This is not a good person."

After saying this, Du Ruhui immediately understood.

"Who is your Highness going to let?"

Li Zhiyun's lips were slightly drawn, "How about Dali Shaoqing Han Zhongliang?"

Du Ruhui thought for a while, and said: "Not enough, we need Jing Zhaoyin Dugu Huai'en as his deputy."

"can."

"The minister will arrange it now."

"Not in a hurry."

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

Li Zhiyun pointed at the chessboard, "Keming, you lost."

After saying that, the black chess falls, and the five sons are on the same line.

Du Ruhui: "."

He cupped his hands with a wry smile, "Yes, I lost."

After speaking, he sighed, took out five copper coins and put them down.

Maybe His Highness hasn't changed, but he likes to play backgammon, he thought secretly.

After Du Ruhui left, Li Zhiyun got up and walked to the window and stood with his hands behind his back, looking out of the window calmly.

There, aunt Yang Mudan was playing with Bao Niang in her arms.

Li Zhiyun is deeply fascinated by this sense of control that can kill the world with one word.However, just infatuated, he still maintained his clarity and did not lose his mind.

He is very clear that his situation is not stable now.

Not far away, as if sensing Li Zhiyun's gaze, Yang Mudan raised her head and looked at him across the air, with a charming smile of a mature woman on her face.

The corner of Li Zhiyun's mouth curled up, feeling secretly refreshed.

Dali Temple.

After Zheng Shanguo was exiled to Yizhou, he was in charge of Wei Zheng, the inspector of Dali Temple.

Han Zhongliang stepped into the main hall and bowed to Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty."

"Han Shaoqing is here." Wei Zheng looked up and said, "Recently, the governor of the Jingzhao government came to look for this official and talked about the matter of Juntian. This matter should not be under our control, but the people are outraged. Wei Yuanzhao secretly enclosing land and expelling people is no small matter.

This officer is busy investigating the remnants of the abolition of the crown prince. I will leave this matter to you, and the governor of Jingzhao Dugu will cooperate with you in the investigation. "

Han Zhongliang was confused for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Wei Gong, I wonder if it is a private investigation or an open investigation?"

"Naturally, it is clear, open, fair, and fair."

Han Zhongliang said bitterly: "But this time it is the Duke who is going to investigate. If there is no imperial decree or His Majesty's golden order, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lower officials to do it."

If it was a commoner or an ordinary official, he would agree without hesitation, but this time the other party was the Duke of the State, or the head of the Jingzhao Wei family, so he couldn't help but weigh himself.

"What are you afraid of?" Wei Zheng put down his pen and said, "Could it be that Wei Yuanzhao dares to rebel? You can just investigate the case. If you encounter difficulties, you can come and report to the official."

Having said that, Han Zhongliang had nothing else to say, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"The subordinate obeys the order."

As Han Zhongliang left, Du Ruhui walked out quietly, and said with a smile: "This Han Zhongliang is a talent, but I don't know if he is a smart person."

"I hope he is a smart person." Wei Zheng said: "This person is very sensible. Since I took charge of Dali Temple, he has been very helpful and he has no second thoughts."

"Your Highness often says that people are separated from each other, so you shouldn't trust him." Du Ruhui said, "This person has served as the young minister of Dali Temple under Zheng Shanguo for so long. If you say that the two of them have no connection, do you believe it?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Under the management of Zheng Shanguo, Dali Temple is full of confidantes. I used the abolition of the prince this time, but I only caught three or two people. The others have not had time to do it. Maybe there are still people hiding deeper."

"That's right." Du Ruhui said: "Dali Temple is extraordinary, His Highness attaches great importance to it, Xuan Cheng, don't let His Highness down."

"I understand." Wei Zheng said: "I will speed up and clean up those who depose the prince."

"Then wait for your good news." Du Ruhui smiled.
