Some things can't be done or said, some things can't be said but can't be done, and some things can neither be done nor said!
Setting fire to the account books to resist the court's inspection has not only been unprecedented since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but also unheard of! Although the royal family and kings have jointly signed a letter to preserve his military title, this is only because the prince and Fang Jun
His methods were too harsh, and he blatantly audited the account books without making any obvious mistakes. This made the princes of the royal family feel sad. They tried to make the prince restrain his methods in order to frustrate the emperor, but they were definitely not on his side.
To put it bluntly, the prince's method of directly coming to inspect anyone he wants to deal with is unreasonable, and Chai Zhewei's move of blatantly burning the account books is even more wrong!
What's more, where is Xuanwumen?
The throat of the palace, the key to the inner palace! How sensitive are those places? The emperor may have been worried about the safety of Xuanwu Gate in his dreams. Chai Lingwu said such unimportant words. Once spread, Chai Zhewei will definitely become the whole royal family.
A thorn in the side!
Who dares to put the Xuanwu Sect in even the slightest danger?
I really don’t know whether to live or die!
Chai Lingwu didn't expect that he was just making a joke, but it would make his brother so angry. His wife, Princess Baling, was still watching helplessly. He suddenly felt ashamed and said angrily: "It's just a casual comment, who dares to take it seriously?"
Do it? Brother, why are you talking to me like this? Having said that, those Guanlong nobles supported Your Majesty in entering the palace from Xuanwu Gate, which established His Majesty's empire. Now the crown prince's position is unstable, and the King of Jin is pressing harder.
, who would have thought that one day the 'Xuanwu Gate Incident' would happen again? Maybe then those Guanlong nobles would force the eldest brother to enter the Xuanwu Gate and support the King of Jin to ascend the throne... Oops!"
But Chai Zhewei was so furious that he stood up and slapped Chai Lingwu hard on the face, scolding him angrily: "How outrageous! Everyone in our Chai family is so loyal, how could we do what a treacherous minister and traitor would do? If you say this,
If you dare to say it a second time, I will open the ancestral hall, move you out of the family tree, and drive you out of the family. From now on, you will be completely cut off from the Chai family, and you will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave of the Chai family!"
Chai Lingwu's face was as red as blood. He was trembling with anger. He covered his face and shouted hysterically: "Okay, okay, are you afraid that you don't like my younger brother for a long time? Don't act like such a loyal king all day long."
You're a patriotic gentleman, do you think I can't see the dirty thoughts in your heart? I'm afraid I wanted to expel you from your home a long time ago. Isn't it because you're afraid that I, the consort, will rely on your majesty's power to rob you in the future?
Is your title? Bah! I don’t care about it! Fang Er can earn a Duke title on his own, and so can I! It’s just bad luck and luck that hasn’t come yet. Also, you are flirting with the Guanlong nobles in private, and at the same time with
King Jing is so confused. Who do you think you are? I can’t tell what you are thinking. When the day comes when the Chai family is dragged down by you, don’t come crying and begging me! It’s just the power of following the dragon. If you want,
I want it too!"
After saying that, he stood up and kicked the case over, then strode away angrily.
Princess Baling was stunned at the side, wondering how these brothers could have such a quarrel...
Chai Zhewei was so angry that his blood flowed all over his body, and he wished he could pull out his sword and chase him out, slashing this bastard to death, and finish him off!
Listen to what he said, are they human words? Every word can plunge the Chai family into a situation of eternal destruction! Indeed, you are the consort, even if one day you will be pardoned by the emperor, but the lives of the whole family are in your eyes
Are you really worthless to deserve such a vicious curse?
Damn it!
Princess Baling stood up and said awkwardly: "Why are the two brothers arguing so much? Duke Qiao need not be angry. When I go back, I will persuade him and let him come and apologize to Duke Qiao."
Chai Zhewei suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and saluted: "Your Highness is laughing... There is no need to apologize. It's just that I hope that Your Highness can persuade the evildoer. You should be careful in what you say and do, and don't be hot-headed."
He just talks nonsense, acts wildly, and is so wild and rebellious. Do you really think that those imperial officials who have heard about the incident are vegetarians? Once a letter of impeachment is filed on this matter, the Chai family will be in trouble immediately, and no one can be immune. "
Princess Baling naturally knows this truth. Although she is a royal princess, since she married into the Chai family, she is a member of the Chai family and is the most vulnerable to being implicated.
He said a few words casually and left in a hurry.
She also feels that her husband has become more and more inexplicable recently. Not only does he lose his temper from time to time, but his personality is also very inflated. In the past, whenever she talked about Fang Jun, she always looked envious and jealous, but today she was able to say, "Fang Er has earned his own money."
I can also hold the title of Duke of a country." Such words are unreasonable.
Who gave him the confidence and courage?
After his brother and sister-in-law had left, Chai Zhewei sat on a chair and looked at the case who had fallen on the ground with a gloomy look.
Although he has now escaped the stage of trial in the political hall, it seems that the prince and his family have nothing to do with him, but he knows that the crisis is far from over. The reason why the royal kings jointly defended him is not because they stand with him.
They are on the same front, but they want to use this to suppress the prince and prevent the prince who has the power to supervise the country from being too radical and ultimately affecting the interests of the royal family.
Who knows whether there will be any punishment against him in the future?
What's particularly important is that there was another point in Chai Lingwu's seemingly nonsense words that aroused his vigilance...
At that time, His Majesty relied on the support of the Guanlong nobles to defeat Li Jiancheng from the Xuanwu Gate, and then entered the palace to put Emperor Gaozu under house arrest, laying the foundation for a great cause.
, no matter how much we attach importance to it, we don’t know how many backhands were secretly laid just to ensure the safety of Xuanwu Gate.
With the power of Chai Zhewei and the Zuotunwei army, can he really be able to break through the Xuanwu Gate one day and repeat the scene where His Majesty went against the grain and captured it?
Chai Zhewei was unsure. At the very least, the Youtun Guards who were stationed at Xuanwu Gate together with the Zuo Tunwei were a formidable enemy. In a serious fight, the Zuo Tunwei would even be at a disadvantage.
In this case, if you really want to break through the Xuanwu Gate, enter the Forbidden Palace, and set up a new king, you must have other forces involved to help you.
Now that the prince has shown his distrust and even rejection of him, there is only one way for him to continue his current military power and strength.
Who can help him break through the Xuanwu Gate and enter the Forbidden Palace?
Perhaps, King Jing is the only one...
*****
The sky is cloudy and no rain.
The air was a little dull, but it didn't stop Li Yuanjing from cheering happily in his mansion.
Dong Mingyue is dressed in a plain white dress, with her black hair simply tied into a bun, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Her earlobes are as crystal clear as jade. Her eyes are full of spring water, and her beautiful face is lightly powdered, still revealing
The moist water vapor is so pure and beautiful that I feel pity for it.
Obviously just experienced a lot of rain...
Seeing Li Yuanjing dancing and being inexplicably excited, he couldn't help but cover his lips with his hands and chuckled: "Why is the prince so happy? He is like a three-year-old child, which is hilarious."
"ha!"
Li Yuanjing came to Dong Mingyue and sat down in front of Dong Mingyue with light steps. He picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. He exhaled and said: "Beauty, don't you know, how depressed I have been in these years? This time is not as simple as saving Chai Zhewei.
What is particularly important is that when I raised my arms, there were actually so many princes and princes, looking at the scenery, attached to Jiwei! It can be seen that in this royal family, there are many people who are dissatisfied with His Majesty, and they look down on that weak one even more.
Prince! One thing is declining and another is rising. From now on, my king’s prestige will definitely soar to the sky. With the support of the entire royal family, why worry about failing to achieve a great cause?"
Dong Mingyue took a look and pursed her lips. How could they support you? They were just pushing you out as a shield to defend their own interests... But she did not reveal this layer of illusion.
After all, it is in her interests that His Highness King Jing is so bold and dares to go against the grain and seize it. If the truth is revealed and Li Yuanjing becomes timid from now on, it will be more of a loss than a gain...
"The prince's prestige is usually not revealed, but at such a critical moment, he can make a promise. Even if he is faced with the prince who has the power to supervise the country, he is not afraid at all. I just lament that the prince has been dazzled by the power to supervise the country.
, I rashly believed in Fang Jun's bad idea. I wanted to knock down a nail like Chai Zhewei, but unexpectedly, a tooth fell out. It was really a waste of rice in vain. I must have become the laughing stock of the government and the public at this moment.
, the impact on its reputation is immeasurable.”
"That's right!"
Li Yuanjing's eyes flickered and he was extremely excited. He clenched his fists tightly and said with hatred: "Back then, Your Majesty killed his brother and brother at Xuanwu Gate. He ignored blood ties and family ties, and then he took the throne of the emperor. One day, I will let you.
He also tasted what it was like to be killed by his own brothers and sisters, and watched helplessly as his children and grandchildren were slaughtered like dolphins and dogs!"
At this moment, his confidence swelled, and he felt that his great cause was in front of him, and it was unstoppable!
