Cen Wendao was blocked for no reason, and naturally he felt unhappy.
But he couldn't have a seizure.
The reason is simple, Pan Wangcai is not someone he can offend.
If Cen Wendao offends Wangcai at this point in time, it will cause a series of problems, which he cannot bear.
For those who are famous in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty, their character is secondary, but they must have foresight and judgment, otherwise they may be framed and killed by their opponents.
Cen Wendao knew who was behind the wealth, and it was the academy.
The academy is something they can never afford to offend.
Although the Academy often maintains an independent attitude, if they really want to intervene, it will be enough to cause big waves.
Cen Wendao must clearly understand his position and must not stretch his hips in these aspects.
He tried to calm down in the carriage, but it was not an easy thing.
It is not easy to keep from getting angry at this moment.
Cen Wendao still has a very important task ahead, so he cannot let his mentality completely collapse.
Stay calm. Cen Wendao must maintain a calm mind at this moment.
"Whether I can move the crown prince depends on my next operation. If I can succeed, His Highness Prince Qi may be able to obtain the position of crown prince!"
Cen Wendao never lived just for himself.
He is the mainstay of King Qi's party, and he has the ability and responsibility to charge into battle for His Highness King Qi at this moment.
This plan is a chain plan. If Cen Wendao can implement the entire plan perfectly, he will be completely famous in history!
This is the merit of following the dragon. This is the highest achievement that a minister can achieve!
Just thinking about it makes people’s blood boil!
After thinking of this, Cen Wendao's eyes narrowed.
For him, being a highly respected minister and becoming a prime minister is his ultimate pursuit.
For this goal, Cen Wendao will fight to the death.
Although this plan is very dangerous, as the saying goes, wealth can be gained through danger.
As long as there is hope of changing his destiny, Cen Wendao is willing to give it a try.
It may make people feel a lot of pressure, but as long as they can understand this truth, they will actually feel relieved.
"His Royal Highness, King Qi, the time has come for me to be loyal to you, and I will not hesitate to risk my life!"
Cen Wendao clenched his fist tightly and said.
...
...
Zuodu Yushi's carriage headed south.
Imperial officials generally had only two destinations when going to Nancheng. One was to go out of the city to Zhongnan Mountain, and the other was to go to Qujiang Pool in the south of the city.
The destination of Cen Wendao, the censor of Zuodu, was the latter.
Qujiang Pond is not only a royal garden, but also contains many villas belonging to aristocratic families.
Cen Wendao has another career here.
Rice is expensive and living in Chang'an is not easy.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence when applied to ordinary petty officials, but it is definitely wrong to apply it to Cen Wendao.
Because at Cen Wendao's level, his influence in all aspects has reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
All kinds of filial piety naturally come in an endless stream.
Countless people climbed up the pole to get close to Cen Wendao. Since it was a visit, it was impossible to come empty-handed.
It can be said that Cen Wendao is able to take advantage of all kinds of income.
Do you still worry about not being able to buy a mansion, a manor, or a property if you have money?
For officials of Cen Wendao's level, these are not problems.
Of course, Cen Wendao did not come here simply for recreation and rest at this point in time, he came here to perform a mission.
His coming to Qujiang Pool was part of the plan. As long as everything went smoothly, Cen Wendao would have a chance to bring down the prince.
This is definitely very attractive to Cen Wendao.
As long as the prince can be removed, everything will become better.
The carriage moved forward slowly, while Cen Wendao closed his eyes and rested his mind.
For him, he must rest as much as possible at this moment.
Only when he is full of energy can Cen Wendao be able to meet the upcoming challenges.
Success or failure depends on this, Cen Wendao has no other choice.
...
...
"Master, it's time to leave."
The personal servant said very respectfully.
Cen Wendao then opened his sleepy eyes and slowly stood up.
After he opened the curtain, the servants had already prepared the horse stool.
Cen Wendao walked down slowly, his manner was very elegant.
Cen Wendao took the lead and walked forward at this time, followed by the other servants.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the high wall next to him.
The man held a long sword in his hand. The long sword was shining with cold light and could be described as extremely sharp.
At this moment, Cen Wendao suddenly contracted his penis and subconsciously took a step back.
But the assassin's skills were extremely strong, and he struck Cen Wendao straight to the heart with one sword!
However, Cen Wendao staggered because of nervousness.
The assassin's sword missed the target and hit Cen Wendao's left shoulder blade!
"Assassin, there is an assassin, please protect me!"
Cen Wendao's personal servant shouted loudly, and countless servants and guards gathered around the assassin.
But the assassin was not panicked.
His skills are extremely good and he can easily avoid the siege of these ordinary people.
I saw him tapping his toes lightly, leaping up, turning over like a kite and escaping.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't let him go, hurry up and chase the assassin!"
...
...
The scene in front of Zuodu Censor's villa was once very chaotic!
At this moment, everyone's focus is on Cen Wendao's safety.
Hemostasis to stop bleeding, support to support.
A group of domestic servants helped Cen Wendao enter another industry.
After arriving at the main hall, Cen Wendao was put on the bed.
A doctor came to bandage him.
After a lot of hard work, the wound was bandaged.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, no vital parts were hurt. If the sword had been pierced to the left, it would have injured the large blood vessels even if it had not pierced the heart. In that case, it would have only hurt the heart.
Even stopping the bleeding is a very troublesome matter."
"Well..."
The handling of this moment is indeed quite critical.
If the doctor hesitates even a little bit, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Thank you very much. I didn't expect an assassin to appear suddenly. I made a mistake."
Cen Wendao's lips turned white, but he managed a smile.
"Sir, please don't talk too much and rest more."
At this moment, the doctor said very seriously.
"Well..."
"Okay, I understand."
"Has the assassin been caught?"
"Replying to the master, you guys are incompetent and let the assassin escape."
"Forget it, the incident happened suddenly and you were not prepared. It's just that I really can't figure out who has such a deep hatred against me and must kill me!"
When Cen Wendao said this, he coughed violently several times, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Master, please calm down. The assassin is indeed hateful, but I have to take care of myself. If I get angry, wouldn't it be playing into the assassin's hands?"
"Yes, sir, only if you take good care of yourself can you possibly uncover the villain behind this assassin and bring him to justice!"
The servants talked to each other, and Cen Wendao felt dizzy for a while, so he rubbed his forehead and said: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore, I will rest quietly to recover from my injuries."
...
...
Prince Qi's Mansion.
King Li Xiang of Qi was reading an idle book.
At this moment, the crown prince Li Jianye rushed in, looking very anxious.
"What's going on? What happened?"
King Li Xiang of Qi has always attached great importance to the so-called manners.
In his opinion, everything can be lost, except manners.
As a child of the royal family, if you can't even maintain your manners, you will definitely be looked down upon.
"Father, this is Mr. Cen. Something happened to Mr. Cen..."
The crown prince, Li Jianye, looked very panicked and couldn't care less, so he said with a tearful voice.
"call..."
Hearing this, King Qi Li Xiang felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fell.
"How can this be..."
"What happened? What happened to Mr. Cen?"
"Lord Cen was assassinated."
The prince Li Jianye said helplessly: "Master Cen went to Qujiang to leave his home, but he was ambushed by an assassin just as he arrived in front of the mansion. The assassin was hiding in a tree, so he was not discovered. He came out without hesitation.
The sword, fortunately Mr. Cen was lucky enough to be stabbed in the left shoulder blade."
"This means that Mr. Cen is fine?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
The crown prince Li Jianye said without hesitation: "Master Cen is no longer in danger of his life."
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!"
Qi King Li Xiang put his hands behind his back and walked around the palace.
"How dare this assassin be so arrogant in broad daylight? Is there any other way to do this?"
No wonder Qi King Li Xiang was so angry.
Cen Wendao was the censor of Zuodu, the leader of the Qi royal party, and the so-called front man.
If Cen Wen had made any mistake at this time, it could be said that King Qi Li Xiang would have lost an arm.
"Father, please don't be anxious. Things are not too bad to be handled. In my son's opinion, this matter may have something to do with the prince."
"Prince?"
Qi King Li Xiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Why do you think it was the prince who did it?"
"Father, think about it. Mr. Cen has just read the book of the prince. The prince must be holding a grudge at this time. Judging from his son, the prince will definitely send someone to assassinate Mr. Cen at this time. But he did not expect that all this would happen.
It came so quickly, which really exceeded my son's expectations."
At this time, Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, was quite angry.
His dislike for the prince was no less than that of King Li Xiang of Qi.
It's just that King Qi can hide his emotions, but Li Jianye can't.
Whatever he thinks in his heart, he will express it without hesitation.
In Li Jianye's view, if he wants to truly remove the prince, he must find an irresistible reason.
Master Cen found such a reason and impeached the prince.
Therefore, Prince Li Xiankun held a grudge and would arrange an assassination at this time point.
"If it's the prince, that's possible."
Qi King Li Xiang was not as excited as Li Jianye. He knew that he must keep a calm mood at this time.
"But there are still some doubts here. The prince is not a fool. How could he not know that taking action at this time will cause trouble. After all, he is the most suspected at this time, but he still takes action. Isn't this stupid?
?”
Qi King Li Xiang has been thinking and analyzing very seriously.
In his opinion, no one who can achieve the position of prince is a fuel-efficient lamp.
His royal brother was naturally no exception.
Therefore, at this moment, Qi King Li Xiang needs to think rationally and not be blinded by appearances, otherwise he is very likely to fall directly into misunderstandings.
"Father, what you mean is that the person who assassinated Master Cen was not the prince, but someone else?"
Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, said doubtfully.
"I have not made any judgment, because judging from the current situation, it is difficult to directly infer the person behind the scenes."
Qi Wang Li Xiang is still very calm.
He knew what all this meant. It would not be a joke if the crime of framing the prince was placed on his head.
This means that he may end up in an impossible situation.
"call..."
But in fact, Prince Li Xiankun may still take action. He can also take advantage of people's psychology and do such dark things under the light.
After all, no one would doubt his words at this time, and doing the opposite was a very smart choice.
What exactly is going on?
King Li Xiang of Qi is unknown.
But now there is only one thing he cares about most, and that is to visit Cen Wendao first.
Although Cen Wendao is no longer in danger of his life, Qi King Li Xiang still has to rush to visit him as soon as possible.
Because this is related to the relationship between their monarch and his ministers.
Cen Wendao could devote himself wholeheartedly to Qi Wang Li Xiang, Qi Wang Li Xiang also had to show the so-called polite and virtuous corporal side.
Only by achieving this, Cen Wendao and more members of King Qi's party will work harder for King Qi in the future.
"Go down with the order and prepare the carriage. I want to go to Lord Cen's house immediately."
...
...
Cen Wendao was recuperating behind closed doors when he suddenly heard his personal servant say in a deep voice: "Master, His Highness Prince Qi is here."
"What!"
Cen Wendao suddenly opened his eyes and scolded: "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? Help me up quickly."
As soon as Cen Wendao sat up, Qi King Li Xiang came walking with his son Li Jianye.
At this moment, Cen Wendao quickly and respectfully made a cross-hand salute to King Qi Li Xiang.
"Your Majesty Cen Wendao has met His Royal Highness King Qi."
"Oh, Cen Aiqing, you are injured now and please don't move around. Otherwise, the wound will be easily pulled."
At this moment, I hope Li Xiang still said with concern.
He took a few steps forward and sat on the edge of the bed. He held Cen Wendao's hand and said, "I rushed over immediately when I heard the news of Master Cen's assassination. What is going on? How could such a good person appear?
Such a thing? Where is the assassin? Has the assassin been caught?"
Hearing this, Cen Wendao shook his head and said: "No, the assassin was not caught and ran away by him."
