Chapter 213 Doubt
s
Soon Liu Jin rushed back with the news.
"The people under my aunt are as vigorous and resolute as ever. Liu Jin is doing things faster and faster." Li Xun couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are too complimentary." Liu Jin smiled, and then gave Li Shengxi the intercepted letter and the information found by the Internal Guard. She said: "Guo Yushi has impeached you."
"It's something that was expected." Li Shengxi opened the letter and looked at the content inside, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong? Auntie, did Guo Yushi scold you very harshly?"
"I'm afraid that if the wording is not that bad, Your Highness will feel strange." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi's appearance and roughly guessed.
Li Shengxi nodded, "It's about the same as usual."
"Then why is it strange? Li Xun didn't understand. He was not there that day and didn't know what happened.
"What happened that day, I'm afraid Guo Yushi will regard it as a great shame and humiliation. How can it be the same as the impeachment at that time? Since the impeachment is ordinary, then why did Guo Yushi show his favor to His Highness in a pretentious manner?"
Rong Zhi analyzed.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Li Shengxi nodded, and she looked at Liu Jin: "Who has he been in contact with recently?"
"Except for the envoys who came with him from Linxi, there is only Yue Biejia."
"Yue Biejia" Li Shengxi murmured, and she continued to ask: "What are the local officials of Hongyin busy with recently?"
She arrested Shen Jichuan. If she were the local magistrate of Hongyin, she would probably be uneasy. Shen Jichuan is not a hard-nosed person. After joining the inner guard, he almost recruited many people. Now the inner guard is still doing it over and over again.
The purpose of interrogation is to detail everything and to deduce some things that others have not told him.
Therefore, Li Shengxi did not attack yet.
She also waited for Hongyin officials to attack her.
In fact, she didn't react a few days ago, but now that I think about it, Guo Yushi was almost busy to death after being tormented by her. Why did he ask her about Shen Jichuan on a whim? He just asked her about it, but he accused her of it.
Have a desire for power?
Perhaps the attack by the officials of Hongyin had already begun, and Guo Yushi was the pawn they used.
"They are doing everything as usual, but they have been very panicked recently and are often in contact with merchants in Hongyin."
Li Shengxi shook his head. If he was just contacting merchants, there would be nothing to fear. Dealing with merchants was much easier than dealing with them.
"Are there any irregularities among the merchants?" Li Shengxi asked again. After all, what she wanted to arrest was not an "official" but a "businessman".
The generals who make connections are not as important as the merchants who smuggle weapons.
"Except for having more interactions with officials, the rest is just keeping your tail between your legs."
What can they do?
That's all. The person His Highness wants to arrest has already cut off the line with Bei Qi. In the past few days since Your Highness came back from Bei Qi, if the other party's hands and feet are fast enough, he can sweep them away.
Li Shengxi remained silent and said nothing.
"The merchants are actually not in a hurry. The most urgent task is to see what they want to do with Guo Yushi." Rong Zhi reminded.
Li Shengxi nodded slightly, "If I were them, the first priority would be to find a way to take away my power, so that they might have a chance to survive. As long as they take away my power, they will have a chance to regain power and destroy some evidence.
."
Of course, this trick is not feasible because the internal guards have already done a thorough investigation.
Unless he seizes the power and incites Hongyin's soldiers to rebel, takes the opportunity to kill the internal guards, and then uses Thunder to wipe out all the evidence before the imperial envoys are sent over, that's more like it.
"It's actually not easy to take away my aunt's rights. Even if you want to send a letter to the Holy One, let's not say whether they can persuade the Holy One. Even if they do, by the time the imperial edict comes down, I'm afraid they will have already been imprisoned."
"I am in Hongyin, and no one can restrain me. The only way is to provoke the inner guards to oppose me." The inner guards obeyed her orders, but the most loyal ones were the Holy Emperor and the Imperial Court.
"The internal guards are loyal to my aunt and want them to fight against her, unless she commits a serious crime, such as 'collaborating with the enemy and treason' or 'stealing artifacts'."
"Isn't this a coincidence? Didn't Yushi Guo often suspect that I have the intention of cultivating party members and stealing artifacts?" Li Shengxi sneered, and then quickly ordered: "Stay here and ask the internal guards to keep an eye on the person named Guo.
He can't make the slightest mistake. Just use him to catch a fish."
"Yes." Liu Jin nodded.
Li Shengxi made an appointment with Guo Yushi, and met privately alone.
When Guo Yushi went to the appointment, he was not panicked. He just frowned slightly and sighed.
The eldest princess's trip is most likely due to bad intentions. I just hope that Yue Biejia has sent the letter by now, and that the letter can reach the Holy Master smoothly.
The eldest princess probably wouldn't kill him, but she would definitely not make it easy for him. However, he was not afraid at all. As long as the eldest princess took action against him, the scars on her body would become strong evidence that the eldest princess had evil intentions.
He is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of injury. If he is willing to cut himself off and be able to pull the eldest princess off his horse, it will be considered worthwhile.
I'm afraid that everything will be in vain.
The letter he sent contained not only the memorial written by him, but also the daily words and deeds of the eldest princess collected by him and many officials in Hongyin. In addition, King Li and others had contributed to the court, so even if they could not overthrow the eldest princess.
, it can also shake the eldest princess’s status in the heart of the Holy Emperor.
As long as the Holy One no longer trusts the eldest princess so much, then the eldest princess cannot be as arrogant and domineering as she is now, and the Holy One can be reminded again that the eldest princess cannot be allowed to continue to be powerful.
The Holy Emperor can suppress the eldest princess, but what about the successor king a hundred years later? If the eldest princess continues to be so illustrious, the new king will definitely be controlled by the eldest princess after he succeeds to the throne.
Taking a step back, even if the eldest princess is loyal to the emperor, who can guarantee that the eldest princess will be loyal to the successor?
Guo Yushi was full of thoughts, but he kept walking and followed the palace maid who led the way to the agreed place.
"His Royal Highness has something else to do. Please ask Yushi Guo to wait for a moment." The palace maid said gently.
Guo Yushi nodded.
The palace maid withdrew.
A strange figure seemed to flash past at the end of the corridor. The palace maid's eyes flickered, but she did not stop.
Li Shengxi was currently discussing some matters with Yue Biejia.
Looking at the solemn expressions of Yue Biejia and others, Li Shengxi's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm.
"Your Highness, Wei Chen believes that Hongyin should resume external trade. If trade is cut off for a long time, Hongyin's tax revenue will be greatly reduced." An official advised.
Yue Biejia also agrees, "It is true. The eldest princess is acting vigorously and the Northern Qi secret agents who were dormant in Hong Yin have also been eliminated one after another. Is it time for Hong Yin to return to normal? After all, the people still have to make a living based on this."
