Chapter 63 The situation (2)

(Two chapters are updated first, there will be some tonight.)

Lu Yan shook his head, and he felt his head too loud now: "If Li Guanshu had not died at the hands of Xu Qingfeng, he could have died at the hands of the disciples of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Sect - perhaps the disciples of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Sect, they did not all besiege Nangong First. After Li Guanshu killed Xu Qingfeng and more than a dozen disciples of the Taoist Sect, he was killed."

"These are just speculations! What I want is the facts and the truth!" Wei Baoheng was furious, "No of the children of the royal family knows the inside story?"

Lu Yan replied: "When Prince Gong came back, he was seriously injured and his followers were gone. Perhaps they knew something, but after they came back, they did not mention anything about Niushou Mountain."

Wei Baoheng waved his hand: "Then put pressure on them! Especially Prince Gong and Prince Li, among the clans, the entourage they brought with them has the highest cultivation level. I don't believe it. Two masters at the fifth level of Qi training disappeared, and they had no say at all! Li Guanshu is not willing to die, but the cause of death must be found out! It would be fine if Li Ye didn't say it, Prince Gong and Prince Wu must let them say it!"

"This is natural." Lu Yan nodded, then changed his mind, "What is the assessment result this time?"

When Wei Baoheng thought of this, he was angry: "The reason why Li Guanshu framed the Sanqingguan is known is because of that Li Ye. What's wrong with this kid? He was originally a waste, but suddenly he became both civil and military?"

Lu Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly. In fact, everyone knew this problem very well, and it was nothing more than Yuan Tiangang's inheritance.

Wei Baoheng suddenly asked, "Where has Master Yuan Tian... gone?"

Lu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It has been a hundred years since Master Yuan disappeared. No one has seen him in a hundred years. Some people say he went out to sea to visit immortals, some people say he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and some people say he is already dead. Who knows?"

Wei Baoheng shook his head: "Master Yuan Tian is the realm of a real person and the best person in the world. It is good to say that he is visiting immortals and retirement, but if you say that he is dead, I don't believe it."

After a moment of silence, Wei Baoheng knew that he had gone off topic and held his forehead with his hand, saying, "That kid Li Ye is Prince An's son after all. Even if he is the first in the assessment, he doesn't have to give him any real official position... Your Majesty will not promise it."

Lu Yan nodded. This matter was not something that was difficult to understand in front of the real rulers.

"How to determine Li Guanshu's death?" Lu Yan asked.

"Sanqing Temple rebelled and hijacked the children of the royal family. Duke Xing went to rescue alone and unfortunately died!" Wei Baoheng said, "Li Guanshu is not a pity to die, but he cannot make him defame his reputation!"

After hearing this, Lu Yan sighed in his heart.

The incident of Li Guanshu framing the rebellion of the Three Qingguan has spread. Wei Baoheng's characterization is like stealing a bell, and it will only backfire. But the court has to give an explanation for this matter. Isn't Wei Baoheng not knowing the disadvantages of doing this, but can he retreat in the face of interests?

Wei Baoheng probably saw Lu Yan's strangeness and said in a more intense tone: "Li Guanshu, as a Duke of the Dynasty and a general of the Left Guard, must die gloriously, this is for the prestige of the court! The Sanqing Temple can rebel, and there is no shortage of ulterior motives in the world at any time. But if the Duke is corrupt and abused the law to the point where the devil rebelled and harmed several mountain villages, it would be spread, wouldn't it tell the people of the world that the Tang Dynasty's government was in chaos?!"

"What Mr. Wei said is very true." Lu Yan bowed, and he understood that Wei Baoheng's meaning was nothing more than whitewashing the peace.

But if the dynasty reaches the point where it needs to embellish the peace, it will be really uneasy.

Wu Hongshan sat in a high chair and looked at Wu You standing in front of him. His expression was absolutely not friendly, and his voice was even more chilling: "You really don't know how Prince Gong was injured and how his entourage died?"

"My father has asked many times and the child has answered many times. Why doesn't my father believe it?" Wu You said with a stiff tone and stood upright.

Wu Hongshan looked down and said, "Mr. Wei has sent someone to ask. You should know that no one in the court can disobey Mr. Wei. This matter can be unusual. If you keep silent, how can you keep your father?"

Wu You is petite. Although she is 28 years old, she looks just a cardamom girl. Under Wu Hongshan's pressure, her shoulders look particularly thin, but she always stubbornly: "Things are unusual, should the child know? How can he tell his father what he doesn't know? Li Jing'an is hurt, and his entourage dies. Gong Wei sent someone to ask his father, why didn't he ask Prince Gong directly? Do you think his father is weak and can be bullied?"

"Bastard!" Wu Hongshan slapped the armrest of the sandalwood chair heavily, and his muscles trembled, obviously making him angry.

After all, she was her father. Although she was very spoiled to herself on weekdays, Wu You could not be afraid of her at all in the face of anger, so tears began to roll in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold it over and prevent the tears from overflowing.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Wu Hongshan couldn't help but feel soft. He was doting on this daughter and couldn't bear to blame her. He sighed heavily, felt sad, waved his hand, and let Wu You retreat.

After leaving the courtyard, Wu You wiped her tears. Although she didn't like Wu Hongshan and was afraid of the powerful and moderate style of self-protection, Wu Hongshan's sad appearance just now still made her unable to hold back her tears.

After walking a few steps, someone followed him in the dark. It was an old man who was hiding in the darkness, like a shadow. Wu You didn't look back, but his voice seemed cold: "If you let me know that you revealed half a word to your father, even if I can't kill you, I will make you worse than death!"

At this moment, the girl looked like a demon.

The old follower bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, princess, I will never dare to say more."

He is a visitor to the Prince Consort's Mansion and thinks about everything. Therefore, in Niushou Mountain, in the face of Li Jing'an's proposal, he would persuade Wu You to form an alliance with Li Guanshu, but he has been guarding Wu You for a long time, and he can also rely on Wu You's temperament in such "harmless" matters.

In addition, the old man knew Wu You's temper, and she had made up her mind that she would do what she said.

As for the King An who showed strong strength in Niushou Mountain and was decisive in killing, the old man was unwilling to offend him more. The other party grew too fast and the old man was extremely afraid.

Wu You looked up and looked at the crescent moon in the night sky. He was stunned for a long time. Her clean and beautiful face, which had not yet subsided, had a different kind of perseverance under the clear light. She whispered: "I have not been able to practice for twenty years, you have been wronged too much, my uncle died in an accident, you are in a difficult situation. Now you have real strength and need to keep a low profile. Even if you don't ask me to do anything, I will do my best to do everything I can."

She suddenly smiled. Her smile was so clean that the stars seemed to melt in the dimples: "I don't know how Li Guanshu died, but you can even kill Li Jing'an's entourage with one move. Then even if Li Guanshu died in your hands, I wouldn't be surprised - in this huge Chang'an City, who could have expected that you are already so powerful? Brother Ye, hiding your strength will hide the possibility of you killing Li Guanshu, I will help you."

Prince Gong’s Mansion.

After seeing off the person sent by Wei Baoheng, Prince Gong stood under the eaves, looking at the night sky with his hands behind his back, and said nothing for a long time.

Li Jingan, whose injuries have recovered, came to Prince Gong and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Father, why do we hide the facts of that day? Don't tell the true strength of Li Ye to Mr. Wei to know? Wouldn't it be good to let Mr. Wei look down on Li Ye and deal with Li Ye?"

Prince Gong glanced at Li Jing'an and said slowly: "The reason for this is that I didn't tell you before. It is because I thought you could figure it out. Now it seems that you have been blinded by the humiliation of that day. Then I will tell you the reason. If you hear it clearly, I will not say it again for my father."

Prince Gong's eyes were deep and his voice was steady: "You have always asked my father before, and why he thought his cultivation skills were so powerful that he retired from the army in his prime, and was idle at home and was idle. Today, I will tell you that this is all because of the lessons of King Lao An."

"Our Majesty is not a wise Majesty. The current court is not a court that can make achievements. This is true for ordinary people and for the children of the royal family. Even the latter is in a particularly difficult situation. Because once the children of the royal family become bigger, have great power and have the hope of the people, the threat to that position will be greater than that of ordinary people, because their surname is Li. And Your Majesty's fear will be deeper than that of ordinary ministers."

"The government has reached this point today. I hope you can see through it. My father is not Wu Hongshan. He knows that there is a tiger in the mountain, but he tends to go to the tiger mountain. He hopes to find a trace of authority in the cracks, so he lives in a panic. His father's claim is to stay away from the court. Because that means staying away from right and wrong."

"Now you should understand why my father didn't let you tell the truth about that day. Since King An of the present has obtained the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, he has not only been both civil and military, but more importantly, his luck has been different. It is better to stay away from such people. If you don't talk about friendship, you won't provoke them."

Speaking of this, Prince Gong turned his head and looked at Li Jing'an: "My father agreed to you as an official, not to let you show off your strength and occupy a high position, but to have a single position and not underestimate it. That's enough. Don't ask too much for anything else. Although Li Ye hurt you, he did not do too much. Moreover, today, he also sent someone to send gifts. Although the gifts are not expensive, his intentions have come true. However, what really makes the father value is his character and skills in dealing with people's lives - better than his father!"

Prince Gong sighed: "Look, now, King An is no longer as good as King An of the past in terms of cultivation. King An of the past is too upright. He can send someone to show his affection for his father today, which means that he is sleek and does not have the problem of being too upright. This Chang'an City is destined to have a lot of trouble. We just look at it, don't get involved."

Prince Gong glanced at Li Jingan for the last time and left with his hands behind his back.

He had a feeling in his heart that he could not say it or say it.

As a family member and a prince, he has lost too much compared to Li Xian.

He lost his cultivation and lost his merits on the battlefield.

Now, he has lost his children.
