Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 648 The Ungrateful Wei Zheng

With the growth of age and prestige, Li Chengqian has not made a public move for a long time. Even in the battle with Tubo, he sat in the middle army obediently, so many people seem to have forgotten that the crown prince is on the battlefield of blood and fire Get out of the iron-blooded prince.

So in the rain, when they saw the prince, whose whole body was stained red with blood, wandering around the courtyard like a hell blood demon god, without a single enemy, Li Sixing and the others showed horror on their faces and thought of retreating.But it was too late, how could the domestic slaves they raised be the opponents of the Black Armor Army who had experienced many battles, all of them were harvested like weeds on the grassland.

After a while, the Xuanjia Army tied up Wang Changkai, Xie Shufang, Li Sixing, Liu Gang, Bao Cong and other old officials and tied them up. Wei Zheng, who was in the pavilion not far away, was also a literati because of his "special" status. , I can't make any waves, so I just surround him inside.

"Wei Zheng, Wei Xuancheng, let me tell you that your plan has failed. Taiyuan King Li Chengzong has been sent to meet Prince Yin. Your 12 years of forbearance has come to nothing. I don't know how you feel!" Li Chengqian pulled back A sword flower, shaking off the blood on it, asked loudly.

Originally, Li Chengqian thought that the emperor was always worried about Wei Zheng, and felt that it was a little redundant, because history has proved that he is a national scholar, and Li Sixing and others are also civil and military with their own strengths, so they never ridiculed the old East Palace.

But today, after hearing Zhai Changsun's return, he was really furious. They must have secretly ridiculed Gu's ignorance, and my Li Chengqian's benevolence and righteousness. What's the use of keeping such unfaithful, unfilial, and ignorant of God's grace.

"His Royal Highness, a scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman looks for a person who pleases her. I dare not repay the kindness of Prince Yin's knowledge. Unfortunately, I didn't preserve his last blood. This is Zheng's crime.

However, His Highness's ruthlessness today reminded the old minister of Wu De's nine-year-old His Majesty. He was also so young and resolute at that time. The Yin Prince and his son were both modest and gentlemen. They are destined to be no match for your father and son. " After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng's face showed a deep sadness. He didn't know if it was Li Chengzong or for himself.

To be honest, Wei Zheng was not as beautiful as Emperor Taiwu thought. When he knew that the king of Taiyuan had died in a fake, he tried his best to kill the king of Qin. As for King Qin turning the tables.

After Zhenguan, the reason why he endured it was because he wanted to preserve the blood of the former master, but he didn't expect that such a simple wish would become a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, and vanish in an instant.

Your Majesty is wise, after seeing all of this, he arranged it early, and even regarded Taiyuan King as the prince's whetstone.Youdao is ruthless and the most important is the emperor's family. Here and there are uncles, nephews, brothers, who are clearly sworn enemies. The throne is firmly seated, why can't you just turn a blind eye and close one eye!
"Wei Zheng, stop talking nonsense. An ungrateful minister like you who has no king and no father has any right to talk about the emperor's family." While speaking, Li Chengqian raised the horizontal knife in his hand and placed it on Li Sixing's neck. Regardless of his begging for mercy, he continued to say to Wei Zheng: "You have despised your majesty, talked about the affairs of the heavenly family, and contradicted your majesty, which made him lose face. Your majesty forgives you.

In the court, you have repeatedly opened up the eyes of the Shandong family, and you have given them the green light in the official system, and your majesty has spared you.Ignoring the sufferings of loyal ministers, gossiping about colleagues, and creating literary inquisition, His Majesty has spared you. "

"Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you said that you just want to save the life of the King of Taiyuan. Your Majesty and Gu will believe it. Do you think our father and son are three-year-old children?" The old master reported to go.

The prince's words made Wei Zheng's face a little hot. Indeed, as a subject, no matter whether it was out of public interest or not, what he did was indeed excessive. If he said that the emperor and the prince could not step down, then they would never let their father and son feel better.

And Wei Zheng knew in his heart that it was because the emperor and the crown prince were humbly accepting advice and wholeheartedly seeking to govern, so they tolerated his rebellion time and time again, and even let him open a mansion, build a government office, and make him a prince.

Changing to an ordinary minister, he would have ignored the small favors and rotten millet of the past, but he, Wei Zheng, was different from those ordinary people.Of course, regarding the prince's questioning, he had to admit that he had thought about it, if the emperor became fatuous in his later years or the prince was unworthy, then supporting the king of Taiyuan would be an act of obedience to the people.

While Wei Zheng was deep in thought, Li Chengqian, who saw that he had been silent all this time, made a move, and in an instant let Xie Shufang and others who were crying and begging for mercy go back to the west.This immediately pulled Wei Zheng's spirit back, he opened his mouth, pointed at the prince and was speechless.

What else are you talking about? They say that the crown prince is as ruthless as his father, even killing his own brothers, killing a few villains who surrender and turn back, what's the big deal.

Just when Li Chengqian walked into the pavilion with a knife and put the knife on Wei Zheng's neck, he said solemnly: "Wei Zheng, you know exactly what kind of virtue Chu Heng is, and you also know what the consequences of the literary inquisition are. You are even more clear about how many sayings there are in court meetings and gift offerings.

Your purpose is very clear, that is to take advantage of the time when His Majesty is dozing off and closing the East Palace alone to fish in troubled waters, completely disrupt the court situation, and then Chu Heng's hand will let the people all over the world see how shameless and immoral Datang is in the hands of my father and son. ... Finally, at the right time, unite with the Shandong family, support his son to the throne, and reverse the case for your old master, the lonely uncle, right? "

Wei Zheng has a good relationship with the aristocratic families, especially the Shandong aristocratic family. During the Wude Dynasty, they pacified Shandong with Li Jiancheng, and they have deep connections there.As Dou Kuan said, many of the officials there are still assigned by the old East Palace. They formed their own faction there, so when Li Chengqian went to rescue the disaster, he was always hindered by others.

Of course, this is also the reason why the emperor sent Wei Zheng to Hebei and Shandong to spread comfort in the first year of Zhenguan.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has nothing to say. If His Highness wants to do something, please feel free. This can be regarded as the old minister's favor to His Highness."

At this juncture, Wei Zheng still dared to call himself a minister and did not say anything about his crimes. Li Chengqian's heart was burning like a slave, and he nodded and said, "Okay, very good, I will kill you Wei Zheng today. Vent the hatred in your heart!"

Just as Wei Zheng closed his eyes and resigned himself to his fate, waiting for Li Chengqian to make a move, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, and Zhai Changsun ran in from the courtyard, shouting repeatedly to ask the prince to kill him.

In particular, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and saved Li Chengqian, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, Gao Ming, my little ancestor, you should kill someone with red eyes! No matter how damned Wei Zheng is, he is also a minister established by His Majesty in the court. Model, Minister of the State, you can't just kill him, you have to ask His Majesty if you want to find him!"

"He is no longer a waiter, uncle." Li Chengqian replied coldly without any emotion.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade this donkey-tempered nephew, Changsun Wuji quickly gave Qin Qiong a look, motioning him to come out and say a word, Wei Zheng is a bastard, but he is the emperor's dog, not those little fish and shrimp, why? Kill it if you can say it!

"Your Highness, regardless of whether Wei Zheng is a servant or not, in the eyes of civil and military officials, he is still the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. It is not good for His Highness to kill important ministers of the country. From the perspective of the old minister, he should be detained first, and we will talk about it after asking for orders. Don't worry, If we really kill Wei Zheng, no one would dare to compete with Donggong for this job!"

After Qin Qiong finished speaking, Li Chengqian closed his eyes and weighed it, then threw the horizontal knife in his hand, and said lightly: "According to the teacher's order, we will be temporarily detained, so that this farmer can live for a few more days. Li Sixing and others assassinated the king to kill him. Suppression, Zhongshu Province hastily recruited an order to search the house!".
