Dajin royal family

Chapter 254 Not One Heart

King Chao Xian was killed!
This news really shocked Jiang Chengxiao, there was no other reason, and the death of Chaoxian King had no meaning at all.

First of all, he is just a waste 'Prince'.

Although King Chaoxian was the eldest son of the late emperor, he was also the crown prince personally conferred by the late emperor.But the problem is that he was also abolished by the first emperor himself.

Now that the emperor has mastered the power of the court, all the forces of King Chaoxian in the court have been wiped out by the emperor, and the emperor has no reason to kill King Chaoxian at all.

What can the emperor get by killing King Chaoxian?
He won't get anything, but instead he will be accused of murdering his brother, and moreover, he will be accused of murdering his fellow brothers!

If this matter is reasonable on the premise that the emperor's position is not right, but the problem is that today's emperor is the first emperor to pass on the throne, so there is no such problem at all.

In general, the emperor would not kill him, let alone kill the king.

For an emperor, the infamy of killing a brother is no joke.

Think of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the Western Han Dynasty who killed Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, and was scolded by the people for hundreds of years, "one foot of cloth can still be sewn, but two brothers are incompatible."

Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty could be called "Emperor Xiaowen" after his death. This posthumous title alone can show how outstanding this emperor was in "Wenzhi".

Even under such circumstances, Han Taizong still couldn't get rid of this stain.

More importantly, you have to know that Han Huainan King was still a prince who refused to obey discipline, and he feudalized the country and built a society.

But what about Chao Xianwang?

A former deposed prince who had no threat to the emperor has now been killed.

How serious this infamy will be to the emperor.

If no real culprit can be found out in the end, the emperor will definitely not be able to escape the reputation of "jealousy can't be tolerated by the elder brother, and he wants to get rid of it quickly".

Who is there today?

Since he started to get rid of the cancer of the family, tried his best to dig canals, and attacked the Turks in the north, it showed that he was not a stubborn monarch, but an emperor with strong personal ambitions, and even created great achievements.

The so-called reign title 'Hongye' is enough to show his spirit.

How could such an emperor not care about his own reputation.

No matter when, governing the country with filial piety has never disappeared.

Once the public opinion was misled by others, the emperor killed his elder brother regardless of the feelings of his compatriots.

The consequences of this bad influence are unimaginable.

"The murderer cannot be the emperor."

Jiang Chengxiao picked up a pen and crossed out the word 'Emperor' on the paper.

There is no 'killing yourself' in this matter, because if the emperor really did this, he would really kill himself.

So, who wants to ruin the emperor's reputation the most now?
Shandong gentry?

For now, they are the most likely.

Because the Shandong gentry suffered a serious setback from the emperor this time, it is not impossible for them to do it with a heart of revenge.

But Jiang Chengxiao didn't think so.

Because both Zheng Shanyuan and Pei Ju are one in a million old foxes, how cunning are they?

I would rather watch the Cui family and the Lu family being suppressed than make a move.

From this point of view, they are old tortoises, and this kind of thing does not seem to be their method.

Moreover, Jiang Chengxiao felt that Zheng Shanyuan and Pei Ju should have some sort of estrangement from the Cui family and the Lu family.

It is said that Shandong Qiwang is connected with each other, but this time the Lu family and the Cui family are close to Gao Xun and the prince.

The Zheng family and the Pei family did not!

Get rid of these two families, Taiyuan Wang family, Boling Cui family, etc. are also unlikely.

Picking up a pen to cross out 'Shandong Gentlemen', his eyes fell on the nobles in Guanzhong.

Since the emperor repeatedly suppressed them, the nobles in Guanzhong have been silent for a long time, except for the position of servant of the household department in the court.

This time he did not cross off the nobles in Guanzhong, but left them pending.

"Can't everyone be peaceful?"

Jiang Chengxiao put down his pen and rubbed his face vigorously.

"Master, let Fang Er and the others investigate." Nan Jiyun suggested.

This is also their usual style. After such a big thing happened, they must figure it out.

But this time, Jiang Chengxiao refused.

"Don't go, let all our people go into hibernation."

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the charcoal fire in the brazier, and said: "This time, a large number of our people have been transferred to Liaodong. This place is in the stage of reconstruction. Don't take risks. Secondly, this matter is too serious. If you are secretly investigated If the emperor's inner guard finds out the clue, they will probably be regarded as the murderer."

Since someone dared to kill Chao Xianwang, then this person is not an ordinary person, and he will not easily show his feet. It is unlikely that he will find out with the scattered intelligence forces in his hands.

The best way now is to 'hold on'.

"I see, I'll let them know."

"Go."

Nan Jiyun bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

Jiang Chengxiao leaned on the wood, suddenly remembered his father's words, the water in Chang'an is really muddy.

It's not very safe for him to stay here.

Perhaps, going to Liaodong is the best choice.

Now it is Chaoxian King, who knows if he will be next?
"A bunch of lunatics!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

In response, Jiang Chengxiao reached out and threw all the white paper on the table into the brazier.

Eldest Sun Qingyi came in with a food box, saw the smoke in the study, and said angrily: "My husband used to say that the room should be ventilated, but now I have closed the windows. Look at the smoke, you can't see it." Don't be afraid to choke yourself."

Watching Changsun Qingyi put down the food box to open the window, he smiled and said, "Because I just want to hear Madam care about me."

Hearing this, she is angry and funny, is this still the Duke of Langya that everyone outside admires, why is she like a child.

"Husband, is there something on your mind?" Changsun Qingyi walked over and asked while opening the food box.

Jiang Chengxiao paused, "Why do you ask such a question?"

There are three dishes and one soup in the food box, two vegetarian dishes, one sauced beef, one medicinal meal, and a pot of rice wine.

She took out two wine cups, filled them up for Jiang Chengxiao first, and then said: "If my husband encountered any unresolved worries in the past, he would definitely pretend to be calm and divert his energy through other things. It's a diversion of attention."

"Have it?"

Jiang Chengxiao picked up the wine cup and drank the rice wine in one gulp. After drinking it, he realized that the taste inside was different. He smacked his lips and said, "This is peach blossom stuffing."

Changsun Qingyi nodded, and then poured it on him again, "I just picked the peach blossoms this year, I tried brewing them myself, how does it taste?"

"It's not bad, your craftsmanship is good. I didn't know that Madam can make wine before. I don't know how many surprises you have." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

He really didn't want to get entangled in the matter of Chao Xianwang, because he couldn't figure out the mess.

Changsun Qingyi said: "This concubine didn't know how to do it in the past. Not long ago, I went to Zhuangzi outside the city and found that there was a winemaking workshop in it. I followed a few old people there to ask for advice."

"By the way, my husband hasn't answered my concubine's identity yet, why are you bothered about it?"

Changsun Qingyi picked up the wine cup, stretched it forward, and made a toast.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup and touched her lightly.

After drinking, Jiang Chengxiao just told about King Chaoxian.

"Since my husband is not involved in this matter, it is better for my husband not to touch it." Zhang Sun Qingyi persuaded softly: "This matter is no small matter, if there is any unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Don't worry, I think so too."

The two were eating, and Jiang Chengxiao noticed that something was wrong with Changsun Qingyi during the meal, and he couldn't help asking: "Madam, what happened, you and my husband, you know me, and I know you, please tell me."

Hearing this, Changsun Qingyi nodded and explained: "Actually, my mother has something to do with me."

"Woman?"

"Correct."

"whats the matter?"

The eldest Sun Qingyi said: "My mother came to me and asked if I could help my brother find a job."

Having said that, Jiang Chengxiao understood everything.

It turned out that the mother-in-law knew that he, the sheriff, was building a team, and wanted to find a job for the eldest grandson Wuji and fight for a future.

"Currently, Cangcao, Hucao, and Bingcao all have candidates. The rest of the masters, Changshi, Sima, Facao, etc. have not yet been selected. I wonder what Wuji is better at?" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

After all, he is an uncle, so he still needs to take care of him.

Changsun Qingyi shook her head, "I have rejected my mother without authorization."

"why is that?"

Jiang Chengxiao was puzzled.

The eldest Sun Qingyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because I know that brother and husband are not of the same mind."
