King Ji Li Shen wore a brocade robe and jade belt, and held a gold-painted folding fan in his hand. He also had red lips and white teeth. He looked suave, elegant, and talented.
Seeing the three people greeting each other, he returned the gift with a smile and said: "Without any courtesy, I have always admired the Qiancheng of Yin State in Mafu. My brother-in-law, I can't bear this gift from you... Oh, Uncle Wang of Hejian."
Haha, this is quite a coincidence."
Between the laughter, it is thought-provoking.
Fang Jun and Li Daozong stood up and looked at each other.
Ma Zhou said: "Your Highness, please come in and speak."
Li Shen nodded and said, "That's how it should be." He turned to the guards behind him and said, "Stay here, don't move around, let alone cause trouble."
After entering the yamen, Li Shen stood there, pointed at a tall young man next to him, and introduced to the three of them: "This is Wei Hongbiao, the Dianjun in my palace."
Then Wei Hongbiao stepped forward, bowed his hands to the ground, and said respectfully: "I have seen the king of the county, the Duke of Yue, and the Yin of Ma Fu."
Li Shen looked at Fang Jun and said: "I heard that some of the Wei family's children collided with the Duke of Yue. I think it must be a misunderstanding. Originally, the Duke of Yue should take it out on those bastards, but Wei Hongbiao has followed me for many years.
We have a deep friendship. Among those people is his younger brother, who is young, frivolous and inexperienced. Therefore, he asked me to come and ask for personal favors from Duke Yue."
Then he looked at Fang Jun, waiting for Fang Jun's reply.
It's just that he looks relaxed on the surface, but in fact he is pounding in his heart...
Who is Fang Er? There is not a single dandy in the entire Chang'an City who dares to yell in front of him. Occasionally, there are one or two tough-headed ones who have been put into submission by him. Now Wei Zhengju has provoked Fang Jun.
Who knows how Fang Jun will get angry?
So he didn't dare to open his mouth to plead for Wei Zhengju, but brought Wei Hongbiao out as an excuse to test Fang Jun's tone and see Fang Jun's attitude.
Fang Jun was silent, but Ma Zhou had already said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please come in and explain it in detail. This matter is not deliberately caused by the Duke of Yue. It is really a hidden agenda. There are many people here, and I am afraid that there are many misconceptions about Your Highness."
unfavorable."
Li Shen was immediately shocked and confused.
He had long realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Jingzhao Mansion today. All the officials inside and outside looked serious, and the soldiers and officials at the door were strictly prohibited from entering or leaving. Even when he, the prince, came, he had to give permission in advance.
No direct entry is allowed.
What big thing happened?
In particular, Li Daozong, Fang Jun, and Ma Zhou, the three backbones of the prince's line, are all gathered in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. How could they just clash with Fang Jun because of a trivial matter like Wei Zhengju?
He glanced at Wei Hongbiao next to him and felt secretly regretful.
He is His Majesty's biological son. Although he is not a legitimate son, he is unlikely to have the chance to succeed the Crown Prince. However, the competition between the DPRK and the Central Government for the Crown Prince is getting more and more intense, and a prince like him has become the target of all parties competing to win over him. And he has no big ambitions, so naturally
I don't want to get involved in that kind of right and wrong.
But I didn’t expect that if I was not careful today, I might get into deep trouble, and I couldn’t help but feel very upset...
However, so many people were watching him enter the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. Even turning around at this time was of no use. They could only smile bitterly and said: "It seems that I have come at the wrong time... That's all. I'll make peace with myself now that I'm here."
, let’s go inside and talk.”
This is a smart man...
Li Daozong glanced at Li Shen, the usually unassuming King of Ji, with slight surprise. As the king's uncle, he stepped forward and took Li Shen's hand and said with a smile: "You are all here, just in time to have a cup of tea and chat, we gentlemen.
But I haven’t seen him for many days, and it’s rare to have such an opportunity.”
Li Shen thought about the meaning of these words and felt a little relieved...
…
Naturally, I won't go to the main hall. Firstly, it is not a place to entertain guests, and secondly, there is a corpse lying there, which damages the hospitality...
The three of them welcomed Li Shen, King of Ji, to the side hall. After the scribes offered tea, Ma Zhou repelled him and raised his hand to invite Li Shen to drink tea.
Li Shen took a sip of tea and put down the cup. His eyes passed over Li Daozong and Ma Zhou, then stopped on Fang Jun's face and asked: "What happened? As far as I know, Wei Zheng
It is true that I bumped into my brother-in-law, but in the final analysis it was just a fight of tempers. Just now, my mother-in-law sent someone to inform me and asked me to come and take him away, and by the way, I wanted to apologize to my brother-in-law... Isn't it possible that my brother-in-law would do such a trivial thing?
You don’t even give me face, do you?”
Fang Jun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If before, His Highness only had to take the person away, how could I not obey? But now things have changed, and I can't make the decision anymore."
Li Shen looked at Ma Zhou again and asked curiously: "Is it possible that this Jingzhao Mansion is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and you can get in but you can't get out?"
Ma Zhou smiled bitterly, handed the confession transcript in his hand to Li Shen, and sighed: "Jingzhao Mansion is His Majesty's Jingzhao Mansion, how can you not give His Highness face? Your Highness might as well take a look at this thing now, and then we can talk.
Bar."
Li Shen took it with a suspicious look on his face, lowered his head and looked through it roughly.
If you don’t look at it, you will be surprised. If you look at it, you will be shocked.
Wei Hongguang is actually dead?
When the Jingzhao Mansion was interrogating him as usual, he suddenly hit a pillar and died, even before he was sentenced...
Mother!
Is this the king who has nothing to do and jumped into the muddy water and got himself covered in mud? He is not an idiot. Just looking at the strangeness of this matter, he knows that there must be a terrible secret behind it. He can't help but cry secretly in his heart, mother
Concubine, you can kill me...
With a solemn expression, he put down the confession transcript, looked at the three of them for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It is true that I just heard that one of Jingzhao Wei's children had violated the Duke of Yue, so I came here to ask for a favor. After all, Jingzhao Wei is the
The mother clan of this king has always been more concerned..."
The three people didn't say anything, they remained silent and looked at him with faint eyes.
Even if you enter the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, how can you get away with it?
Li Shen was halfway through his words, but he couldn't continue. He forced out an extremely embarrassing smile in the dim gazes of the three people.
At this moment, he just wants to turn back time, so that even if someone whips him from behind, he will never step foot inside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion...
For a prince like him who has no ambition or qualifications, the wisest approach is to stay out of the matter and not get involved in anything.
Otherwise, once he is involved, don't worry about anything, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.
However, today it was not him who was looking for trouble, but him who was looking for trouble himself, and actually stepped into this quagmire...
But if you step in, you have to find a way to get out.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "How about Wei Zhengju's confession?"
Ma Zhou naturally understood what he meant. He was asking whether Wei Hongguang's death could be related to Wei Zhengju. After all, he was here to intercede for Wei Zhengju. If Wei Zhengju was innocent, then he could only
It can be said that he was dragged down by Wei Hongguang.
And if Wei Zhengju is related to Wei Hongguang's death, and he, the prince, comes to intercede for Wei Zhengju all the time, then the trouble will be big, because the nature is completely different...
Ma Zhou said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, Wei Zhengju refuses to admit the accusations he is suspected of, and he knows nothing about the rest."
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should not be mentioned to Li Shen. It is against the rules and will inevitably be suspected of being leaked.
However, Ma Zhou had no choice but to be dragged into the water by Jingzhao Weishi in a daze. If Ji Wang Li Shen was involved again, the matter would probably not end.
After all, this is the son of His Majesty Li Er. If Jingzhao Weishi really has some secrets that cannot be revealed, and it concerns the court or even the palace...
When Li Shen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, okay... I didn't know that there was such a thing. Since Wei Zhengju had nothing to do with this matter, I didn't care about the others. That's all."
Go back first, I have to trouble you all to take care of things here."
He was on pins and needles now, being inexplicably involved in this matter, wishing he could fly out of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen with wings.
Li Daozong coughed dryly and sighed: "Your Highness, it would be better to sit down for a while. We have just notified Baiqisi. I believe Li Junxian will arrive soon."
When Li Shen heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is indeed for his sake. His coming to Jingzhao Mansion today cannot be hidden from anyone. At least these few people in front of him will definitely not cover up for him. And when "Baiqisi" intervenes, they will not be able to cover up. If they heard that Wei
After hearing the news of Hong Guang's death, he left in a hurry. Looking back, what exactly was written in the "Hundred Qisi" file was based on Li Junxian's speculation, which no one could control.
Wait a moment, and after Li Junxian arrives, it will be necessary to communicate with him.
At least Li Junxian won't write randomly based on his own guesses, otherwise Li Shen will be very passive...
Just as he was talking, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and Li Junxian, who was wearing a helmet and pierced armor, went directly into the hall without passing through. When he saw several people sitting there, he bowed his hands and saluted: "General, I have met His Royal Highness King Ji, met the county prince, met
The Duke of the State of Yue has met Ma Fuyin."
The gesture is very polite, but the face is very serious...
