When he heard his mother say that he liked Qing Niang, Li Zhi felt a little relieved, and he understood that his mother was telling him that Qing Niang was her destined daughter-in-law, and she would never change her mind easily.
But that's just a little bit of reassurance. The person who has the deepest influence on Qing Niang is Brother-in-law Fang Yi'ai. I really don't know what Sister Seventeen likes about Fang Yi'ai.
When Fang Yiai nodded in agreement with Li Chengqian's words and expressed that he would work with Princess Gaoyang to ask her to take Qingniang into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen during her free time, Li Zhi finally felt relieved.
Fang Yiai agreed to let Qingniang and Seventeenth Sister enter the palace to accompany their mother, which meant that he had no intention of disturbing his marriage with Qingniang. This knowledge made Li Zhi happy.
After dinner, Fang Yi accompanied Li Zhi, and the two played chess in the yard. Fang Yiai and Li Chengqian strolled out of the yard and took a walk on the tree-lined avenue in the village.
"Those who went to Fenzhou should be back this afternoon." Fang Yiai said, "You would choose a time to hide out."
"You can hide faster than me, now come to me." Li Chengqian said nonchalantly.
"By the way, what are you going to do with King Wei? The last time your horse's food was tampered with, it has something to do with him." Fang Yiai asked, "Fortunately, Xue Rengui was present at the time and knocked the horse away, otherwise the horse's hoof would have been knocked away.
I stepped hard on your ankle..."
Four days ago, Li Chengqian followed Li Shimin's order and wanted to go out of the palace to do something. In the long alley that was not spacious between the East Palace and Changle Gate, the horses began to go crazy and threw Li Chengqian off the horse without any mental preparation.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian had Xue Rengui with him that day, and when he was about to step onto Li Chengqian's wild horse, Xue Rengui caught the horse's hoof in time, pushed the horse aside, and rescued Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace with a normal expression and changed his clothes. He left Li Qing to inquire about the horse's madness, and still took Xue Rengui and others out of the palace to handle Li Shimin's affairs.
Li Qing inquired all the way and found Helan Chushi. After Helan Chushi was found the day before yesterday, Li Chengqian had people keep Helan Chushi in solitary confinement and has not yet interrogated him.
Why did Helan Chushi, who served as a Qianniu guard in the East Palace, kill the prince who was supposed to be loyal to him?
He himself did not have enough motivation and purpose at all. It was only because someone gave him enough benefits and promised enough benefits to make him excited that he had enough courage and courage to devour the Lord!
With the affairs of the Yang family being such a big deal, if something happened to the prince at this time, people would definitely think of the Yang family who was being purged, and think that the remnants of the Yang family were retaliating for the emperor's purge and wanted to destroy Li Shimin.
The satisfied prince gave Li Shimin a heavy blow.
From a conspiracy theory perspective, the biggest beneficiary is the most likely real culprit.
Li Chengqian himself understood the meaning of the hidden words before Fang Yiai finished speaking.
If his foot is really trampled by the hooves of a crazy horse, the whole foot will be disabled. Judging from the fact that his father pays attention to royal dignity and face, after he becomes lame, the prince will be done with it.
The third eldest son, Li Ke, was basically insulated from the position of crown prince because of his involvement with the Yang family, his mother-in-law Yang who was not very clear about her affairs, and the elder Sun Wuji who was sitting on the sidelines.
The five, six, seven and eight old men are all useless and cannot shoulder the great responsibilities of the country.
Xiao Jiu was also lazy and had no intention of becoming a prince. He only wanted to be a laid-back prince who didn't have to worry about food and drink. When he had nothing to do, he would take his beloved princess to travel around the mountains and rivers, and be happy and carefree in the world without caring about mundane things.
The only one left who has enough capital and status to assume the position of prince is his good fourth brother Wei Wang Li Tai!
When he thought of his own brother treating him like this, Li Chengqian felt a little sad, even though he knew the coldness of family ties in the royal family.
After personally experiencing the bloody events of the Xuanwu Sect, he really didn't want his relationship with his brother to get to that point!
Stepping on his brother's body and sitting on the highest position, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the torture. He admitted that he did not have the calmness of mind that his father had honed on the battlefield.
"What kind of punishment do you think I should give Helan Chushi to wake up my fourth brother?" Li Chengqian sighed and asked. "As Qian Niu Bei Shen of the East Palace, he secretly took refuge in His Highness the King of Wei, and gave it to the Crown Prince.
If you treat the horses lightly, what will the emperor think of you?" Fang Yiai asked in return.
Li Chengqian sighed and said nothing.
Fang Yiai understood that logically speaking, Li Chengqian should directly execute Helan Chushi, and he should be executed before he bit out Li Tai.
However, Helan Chushi was the son-in-law of Hou Junji. Although he was a concubine, he was still his own flesh and blood. Moreover, Helan Chushi's eldest brother, Helan Anshi, married the eldest daughter of the Wu family and the biological sister of Crown Princess Wu Meiniang.
The two brothers of the Helan family grew up dependent on each other. Helan Chushi was as much a brother and son to Helan Anshi as Fang Yize was to him. Moreover, Helan Anshi loved Helan Chushi more than he loved him.
Fang Yi was so clear about right and wrong, and Helan Anshi loved Helan Chushi unconditionally in most cases.
When the Hou family and the Wu family were making a fuss in the backyard, before Helan Chushi asked Helan Anshi, Helan Anshi didn't care about the affairs in the backyard at all, and it was all up to the two women to make a fuss. According to his idea, the two of them could decide the outcome.
It's over, there's no need to interfere, they're all family members anyway, and you can't suffer the consequences from others.
After Helan Chushi made a vague complaint, Helan Anshi simply used the excuse that Mrs. Wu was in poor health and sent Mrs. Wu back to the Wu Mansion, saying that she wanted Mrs. Wu to fulfill her filial piety in front of her mother.
Now that something happened to Helan Chushi, Helan Anshi begged Wu Shunniang again, forcing Wu Shunniang to go to the princess sister to beg for mercy, and Helan Chushi should be given a lighter sentence and be released from the small dark room quickly.
Fang Yiai finally understood why the two Helan brothers who depended on each other, without their parents to rely on, could still grow up to look like a dandy. Helan Chushi was even more dandy than Chai Lingwu and the others. It was all because of Helan Anshi, the older brother.
To be pampered unconditionally!
Helan Chushi has made mistakes now, and Helan Anshi, a good brother, must also bear half of the responsibility.
Fortunately, his family's Fang Yize did not grow up to be a dandy like Helan Chushi. Of course, Fang Yize had a heart for love, so even if Fang Yize grew up to be a dandy, he would still be a well-measured dandy.
Ahem, it was a bit far-fetched. Fang Yiai retracted her thoughts in embarrassment, looked at Li Chengqian sympathetically, and asked, "Did Mrs. Helan come to the palace to plead for mercy again?"
"With Mei Niang here, the Helan Wu family can't open this mouth, and can't see Gu's face." Li Chengqian said very happily, as if he had a wife and everything would be fine.
Indeed, with Wu Meiniang's methods, Fang Yiai believed that Wu Shunniang, as her sister, would never be able to handle a few moves.
Alas, they are both the same people who crawled out of their mother's womb, so why are they so different?
Wu Shunniang, who married Helan Anshi, was a bit naive and naive, and she was very clear about love and hate.
The Crown Princess Wu Meiniang must have means and means, as well as scheming.
The Sanniang of the Wu family was a sick and crybaby, just like Wu Shunniang, she had no plans.
No wonder, the history books say that Wu Shunniang became Tang Gaozong’s concubine. Isn’t such a brainless person just a chess piece in the history of Wu Shunniang’s fight for favor and win over Tang Gaozong?
"With Hou Junji's shrewdness, he should not intercede for Helan Chushi, and the backyard will be very tight and will not be involved in this matter.
"Fang Yiai said, "But if you really kill someone, Hou Junji will definitely hate you even more."
"So it's a bit difficult to handle." Li Chengqian said with a wry smile, "Gao Changguo submitted a letter to postpone his coming to court again this year. Even the tribute was less than one-tenth of previous years. He obviously has a disobedient heart."
"Oh, so the emperor intends to use troops against Gaochang. The commander may still be Hou Junji?" Fang Yiai asked.
"Yes." Li Chengqian nodded and said, "There is definite news that Gaochang State has established a line with the Western Turks. There will be war on the border at the earliest this winter and at the latest next spring."
"Now, General Li Jing is unwell and cannot send troops. Li Ji has been transferred to Youzhou to guard." Li Chengqian said, "General Xue and General Duan are now responsible for training the Hundred Cavalry Battalion. The rest are not worthy of being commanders, so they can only
He can serve as a general. General Qin still has to stay in the capital to dispatch the military and supervise the training of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, so he has no time to go on an expedition. Chai Shao, the consort, is stationed in the southwest to guard against Tubo and Tuyuhun, and cannot be easily mobilized. Among the remaining candidates,
That is why Hou Junji is the most appropriate."
"Hou Junji." Fang Yiai had a headache. She remembered that after capturing Gaochang, Hou Junji killed prisoners indiscriminately and plundered the people of Gaochang. He even stole two-thirds of the loot. After the incident, he
Li Shimin was completely annoyed.
Not only were Hou Junji's money and jewels confiscated, but Hou Junji's military exploits in this battle were also stripped away, and he was also fined and demoted from his official position.
It was also because of Li Shimin's final disposition that the petty Hou Junji not only failed to reflect on himself, but instead resented Li Shimin. This led to Hou Junji's rebellion with the prince.
Thinking of the things recorded in history books, Fang Yiai's head hurt even more.
I am still under the rule of Hou Junji. If he leads the troops into battle, I will not be able to delay him without special circumstances. The conflict between him and Hou Junji will probably be even greater by then. It is estimated that then
Some of the sufferings are suffered by oneself.
Fang Yiai really feels like she can’t see the dawn of this year.
"Why, you don't want to send troops to Gaochang?" Li Chengqian asked after seeing Fang Yiai's troubled appearance.
"Do you think Hou Junji can give me good things to eat?" Fang Yiai asked.
Li Chengqian patted Fang Yiai on the shoulder sympathetically, with a gloating smile on his face without any sincerity.
"If you can't kill him, just destroy the Helan Chu Stone. It will not only give Hou Junji a lot of face, but also make those who may cheat on you have a memory." Fang Yiai said.
"Go and convince uncle." Li Chengqian said. (To be continued,
