Although Lin Yan made Chu Liqing his queen, he did not restrict where he could go, nor did he ask him to hand over his military power.
Although, people in the regent's palace still regard Chu Liqing as the regent.
However, a person whom no one expected came to the Regent's Palace today.
Chu Liqing sat on the main seat in the living room and looked at the person in front of him with a hint of irony.
"Hey! Rare visitor, what brought you here, Prime Minister Wei?"
Prime Minister Wei doesn't look very good either, but if it weren't an emergency, he wouldn't come to see the regent.
"Chu Liqing! I'm not going to quarrel with you today, but I have something important to do with you."
"Ha!" Chu Liqing only found it a little funny, "If the Prime Minister has something important, he should go to His Majesty to discuss it. What are you doing here with me?"
Prime Minister Wei was silent for a while and then slowly said, "Does the Regent still remember Concubine Xian back then?"
After saying this, Chu Liqing's face darkened.
"Of course I will remember it."
How could Chu Liqing not remember? Concubine Xian was the title of his sister Chu Lingwei back then.
What is Prime Minister Wei doing when he mentions Ling Wei?
Prime Minister Wei was stunned for a second, and then seemed to have made a great decision.
"Then the Prince Regent has a different opinion on the death of Concubine Xian."
It was okay for Prime Minister Wei not to mention this, but he became angry when he mentioned Chu Liqing, "Hey, what can I think?
After all, when that old fellow, the late emperor, secretly executed her, he did not let me know about it."
After Chu Liqing finished speaking, Prime Minister Wei sighed heavily, thinking that this was indeed the case.
"How did the Prince Regent know that the late Emperor must have secretly executed Concubine Xian?"
"Isn't it?" Chu Liqing sneered.
"Back then, when I was making great military achievements and gaining power, the late emperor had concerns and targeted me everywhere.
He even forced my only sister into the harem just to contain me."
Prime Minister Wei shook his head helplessly and began to tell what happened that year.
At that time, Chu Liqing made great achievements in battle, and it was the time when he gained power.
At that time, the late emperor had no concerns, but the ministers in the court were not sure.
Those ministers were jealous of Chu Liqing's rapid rise to prominence, so they tarnished his image in front of the late emperor and jointly petitioned him.
The late emperor was very embarrassed because of this, and he intended to protect Chu Liqing because he was a general of Dongmo Kingdom.
So I just posted him to the side mirror to show off to the ministers.
However, the ministers still did not give up, and fabricated rumors at will, saying that Chu Liqing was too powerful and was deliberately raising troops to rebel.
It is better to let him issue a military order. If he cannot pacify the border, let him commit suicide and apologize.
The late emperor pretended to be like this, but in fact, even if Chu Liqing really couldn't do it, he would not do anything to him.
When Chu Liqing went on an expedition, the late emperor was worried that Chu Liqing would be ambushed by someone with intentions on the way, so he sent black-armored iron cavalry to secretly protect him.
That's why Chu Liqing was able to pacify the border so easily and was known as the "First God of War" in Dongmo.
Because the late emperor felt sorry for her, he favored Chu Lingwei in the harem even more.
But on the day Chu Liqing returned from victory, Chu Lingwei disappeared.
The late emperor hurriedly sent people to search for her, but when she found her again, Chu Lingwei was already a corpse.
The late emperor was heartbroken by this. He was worried that Chu Liqing would be sad and angry, so he did not tell him the truth.
But what he didn't expect was that Chu Liqing would actually think that Chu Lingwei was executed secretly.
After Prime Minister Wei finished speaking, he added: "The late emperor never targeted you.
If the late emperor really wanted to target you back then, and you were still too young and vigorous as regent, your majesty could have ordered the black-armored cavalry to kill you secretly. Wouldn't that not leave a trace?
Why threaten you with Concubine Xian again?"
After hearing this, Chu Liqing couldn't believe it.
If this is really the case, what has he done before?
"Why should I believe what you say? Dead people cannot speak. Of course, Prime Minister Wei can make up whatever facts he wants."
Prime Minister Wei sighed helplessly, "Then the regent might as well think about it, why did the late emperor target you? Was it because he was afraid of your power?
You were still too young at that time. How did your power compare to the black armored cavalry?
Therefore, the regent should be able to figure out whether what the prime minister said is true or false.
Moreover, it should not be difficult for the people under the Regent’s current command to find out the truth from back then.”
