Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 124
Li Sheng's study room was brightly lit by candles, and the room was filled with sandalwood incense, surrounded by shredded tobacco, making it elegant and quiet.

In the middle of the study, on the carved and hollowed-out table, there is a milky white Taihu stone on a black lacquered wooden plate, with a unique shape, like the moon and clouds.

"Father,"

Li Taiwei stepped forward and bowed, his eyes stayed on the Taihu Stone for a moment, and he said with a smile:
"Is this a new stone for you? It looks so elegant..."

Hearing the sound, Li Sheng put down his pen, stacked the documents in his hand, and neatly stacked them aside. He turned his head and glanced at the stone behind him, and hummed softly:

"Yesterday, Marquis Lu asked someone to bring it over..."

"That old boy! I haven't agreed yet, he ran to His Majesty in the next afternoon to ask for a marriage order..."

Li Taiwei never thought that a stone could talk about her own marriage, her eyes were a little unnatural, she endured it for a while, and asked:
"Then what does His Majesty say?"

Li Sheng glanced at her:
"How can I say it? I definitely didn't answer!"

"Your Majesty has been interested in you as the Crown Princess for a day or two, and the Empress ordered someone to send a bracelet to show her heart, and he immediately went to ask for a marriage. Where should the East Palace put this face?"

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows slightly.

His Majesty didn't respond, but the Li family clearly withdrew the ceremony from the East Palace. As for this, His Majesty should know it well.

Anyway, she still has a year to marry Ji, so the marriage is not urgent right now, but Li Wenxiu's matter can't be delayed any longer!

"Father, is there any clue about Mr. Wenxiu's matter?"

Li Taiwei asked directly.

Li Sheng fiddled with the cigarette case for a moment, looked up, his expression was not very good, he seemed to be hesitating whether he should talk to Li Taiwei about this.

"Is this person right?"

Seeing the cautious look in his father's eyes, Li Taiwei guessed that he must have found something.

This Li Wenxiu was one of her regrets in her previous life, if she didn't get rid of it for a day, she would feel uneasy!

"You guessed right, he did impersonate Li Wenxiu's identity, and he is not from the Great Zhou..."

Li Sheng wondered,
"This person has been arrested by me now, but..."

"Father! If you can't keep this person, you need to make plans early..."

Li Taiwei's eyes were full of murderous intent!
In the previous life, he encouraged the second prince to seize power, and forced Chang Ping Yuan to marry and die tragically. She couldn't bear any of these!This man must die!

"Aluan...he belongs to your uncle."

Before Li Taiwei finished speaking, Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and said.

"what!"

Li Taiwei was shocked,
"Uncle?"

Li Sheng was a little helpless, nodded and said:

"The position of the crown prince of Xiliang has been vacant for many years. Your grandfather is getting old now, and the battle for the crown prince is imminent...but your eldest uncle...is too impatient..."

Li Taiwei was stunned.

When her grandmother got married to Xiliang, her grandfather had just become king. Before marrying her grandmother, there was a Dayan family who had the eldest son Ye Heqiyuan.

Later, Da Yan died of illness, and his grandfather ruled Xiliang, and his grandmother gave birth to three uncles and her mother after getting married.

However, according to Xiliang's rules, Ye Heqiyuan, the eldest son, was the crown prince's choice, and this person won the support of the old Xiliang Ministry and was extremely prestigious.

But her uncle Yehe Wenshu has a high status after all, and he is highly valued by his grandfather. These years, his grandfather has not appointed a crown prince for a long time, and the court of Xiliang has hidden troubles.

Yehe Wenshu once asked Li Sheng to mediate in private, hoping to ask His Majesty to help him ascend to the throne of Xiliang.

But the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was stable, and the emperor didn't want to meddle in Xiliang's internal affairs, and he didn't want to make enemies with the old tribe of Xiliang because of this.

Li Shengyuan didn't quite agree with this matter. After all, the royal family of Xiliang valued Ye Heqiyuan with pure blood more. If Da Zhou rashly intervened in the prince dispute, it would be a bad one, and it would hurt the friendship that has been established for many years.

But his eldest uncle is so disregarding face!In order to fight for the imperial power, he actually placed spies in his brother-in-law's mansion, and kept inquiring about the political movements of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

He had never thought that if this matter got out, her father could easily convince others of the crime of treason, and the entire Li family would have to be buried with him!
Li Taiwei stabilized his mind:

"How can father be sure that he belongs to the uncle?"

It would take less than half a month for the letter from Xiliang to go back and forth at the fastest. If this Li Wenxiu deliberately cheated, wouldn't he be caught in a trap?

Li Sheng was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and took out a blood jade wrench from the desk cabinet.

Li Taiwei stepped forward to take a closer look, her heart sank.

There is a red tiger-shaped pattern on the outside of this blood jade ring finger, and the word Manjusri is engraved on the inner ring, it is indeed his uncle's token, and this ring finger...was a gift from his father himself to his uncle.

"I have ordered someone to deliver a secret letter to Manjusri, and there should be a reply in a few days..."

"If this is true, Uncle has already made plans..."

Li Taiwei's face turned cold.

If Li Wenxiu's words are true, Ye Hewenshu handed over the wrench to him in order to prevent Li Sheng from letting him go for the sake of his in-laws...

No wonder!
No wonder Li Wenxiu received a secret letter from Xiliangwen!
Li Taiwei's heart thumped... What other conspiracy is the uncle hiding?
In the previous life, his father was a monk and practiced. This Li Wenxiu saw that the Li family could not be counted on, so he turned around and approached the second prince...Ye Hewenshu did not hesitate to disturb the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, just for his own desire...

Li Taiwei gritted his teeth, the eldest uncle was too ambitious, but he did not sit on the throne of Xiliang King in his previous life.Such a deliberate plan here, provoking disputes between courts and courts, how many innocent souls died in vain!

"Father...if what Li Wenxiu said is true, how will father deal with it?"

Li Taiwei regained his composure, rubbing his fingertips back and forth, his amber pearly eyes filled with murderous intent.

With hostility in Li Sheng's eyes, he told Li Taiwei:

"Father knows this matter well, let's keep this matter from your mother for now..."

Li Taiwei nodded, and suddenly remembered the fragment she saw on the day Jing Zhe was injured, and was still a little worried:

"Father, have you asked Na Li Wenxiu if the prince's assassination last time...was related to him?"

Li Sheng was silent for a moment, then said:
"Before the crown prince was assassinated, I had asked me to keep him under surveillance. Now it has been verified that he has nothing to do with this matter..."

Seeing Li Taiwei's nervous expression, Li Sheng frowned:

"Why did A Luan ask such a question?"

Mrs. Li felt a little relieved, and was hesitating whether to tell Li Sheng about Lu Xiao's secret investigation of Li Wenxiu, when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Li Taiwei was startled, exchanged a glance with Li Sheng, turned around and opened the door.

This glance almost made her break out in a cold sweat!
In the direction of the imperial palace in the city, the sky was reddened by the flames, and billowing smoke could be vaguely seen...

After a while, there was a rush of gongs outside!It's the forbidden army that has sealed off the city!
Immediately afterwards, horseshoes stepped over, mixed with the slightly panicked shouts of the guards.

"Oh! It looks like the palace is flooded!"

The servants of the mansion gathered in one place with panicked faces, pointing in the direction of the fire,
"The fire is so big! It's amazing to see!"

Li Sheng immediately turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted outside:
"Come on, prepare your horse quickly!"
