The two started to quarrel again, one was stupid and the other was clever. Once they got together, they would put on a big show every day.
Li Lin put away the plate of mooncakes to avoid disaster.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Li Lin sat on the chair, "How's the matter?"
After Jiubian heard this, he stopped arguing with Yuanyou. He said: "Prince, oh no, the deposed prince is already staying in Yuanmingyuan. Today, Zhao Mingzhan came just in time and gave him a fatal blow. He I’m afraid it will be difficult to turn over again in this life.”
If the matter in Qingzhou alone did not involve the murder case of the Chen family, the emperor deposed him as the crown prince and demoted him to Prince An. From now on, he would only be an idle prince, and he would still be rich and wealthy throughout his life.
However, the Chen family murder case had a lot to do with him. Although there was no direct evidence, according to Chen Fuyin's letter, the prince wanted to attack him, but now he was just holding on. If no other evidence was found to prove that this matter was If someone else did it, it must be the prince.
The emperor probably gave up on the prince, and did not intend to let him succeed to the throne and harm the family of his ancestors. He thought that this matter would be settled in the future, and he would be given the position of an idle prince, and he could live a wealthy and peaceful life.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Mingzhan came back.
Zhao Mingzhan got some tips from Li Lin when he went out this time. He followed the information and investigated, and finally found out what happened to the Dragon Boat Festival assassins.
It was the plot planned by the prince.
Now, the prince wanted to kill the king and his father. How could the emperor tolerate him? He did not kill him immediately, which was already a great deal of tolerance.
Jiubian said: "One more thing, Chen Qi ran away."
Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Run away?! What kind of running method?!"
"He disappeared in Dali Temple. Hui Feng followed him for a while and found that he had gone north in disguise."
"North?! Beiyuan?!" Li Lin paused, "He wants to go to Beiyuan Royal Court."
Beiyuan borders Dongzhao, and there have been small disputes over the years. It is cold in the north and it is difficult to cultivate food. The royal court of Beiyuan is ambitious and wants to go south and swallow up Dongzhao.
Chen Qi went north because he wanted to commit treason.
"If the matter comes to a conclusion, the murder of the Chen family was really committed by the prince. In order to protect the prince, the emperor will probably negotiate some compensation with him, or directly control him to avoid any trouble."
Jiubian sighed: "I'm afraid Chen Qi wants the prince's life."
The whole family died at the hands of this man, but because he was the son of a person in power, he could save his life. How could Chen Qi not hate it.
Not to mention Chen Qi, any other person would have to find ways to get revenge. As for treason, the country would not tolerate him and would not avenge his family, so how could he be loyal.
Li Lindao: "Although the Chen family is not a big clan that occupies Dong Zhao, it is also a family of officials. It has been run by three generations, and they also know some things. Apart from other things, they know the distribution of Dong Zhao clan, the distribution of power, and the distribution of terrain. Clearly.”
"Chen Qi went to Beiyuan, which may leave hidden dangers for Dong Zhao."
If a fight breaks out, it can provide a lot of useful information.
Yuanyou's brain was a little weak, and he was dizzy after being told: "That young master, are you going to stop him?!"
His words caused Jiubian to roll his eyes, and Li Lin also looked at him lightly.
When Yuanyou saw the looks in these two people's eyes, he shut up.
Li Lin thought of the ancestral precepts passed down from the Li family, but to be a son of the Li family requires benevolence. Since ancient times, when dynasties changed, it was often the monarchs who were unkind, and the people below were oppressed and rose up to fight. This is why so many things happened.
A lot of these things have happened throughout the ages.
The governance laws in Li City are strict, and violations and crimes will be dealt with according to these laws. There is no mercy at all. Therefore, in Li City, no matter what status they are, children will start to be restrained and taught what they should not do as soon as they become sensible. , what will happen.
Therefore, Licheng has become a place governed by law, and it can be regarded as a relatively peaceful place in the world today. There are fewer people committing crimes and foreign enemies dare not provoke them. All that is left is to live life.
Jiu Bian said: "What are you trying to do to stop him? This thing was originally done by Dong Zhao unkindly. Is there anything wrong with him wanting to avenge his family? If he had stayed in Dong Zhao, he might have died that day. "
"The deposed prince is the emperor's own son. If he really follows the law, he will die. But how can the emperor let the prince die? Even if he is demoted to a commoner, he may live a good life, which is also good."
"If this is the case, the Chen family murder case will probably not be tried anymore, or someone will be randomly chosen to take the blame and the prince will be picked off."
"If no one mentions it again, this matter will gradually be forgotten as time goes by. If Chen Qi is in Dong Zhao, he still has to seek justice for the Chen family. His situation may not be good."
Yuanyou was dazed: "Why is it so troublesome? Wouldn't it be better to handle it impartially?!"
Jiubian said: "Yuanyou, you think this is Licheng. The emperor has the final say."
Under the power of the emperor and the power of God, although they are generally honest, if it comes to the royal heirs, there will always be preferential treatment.
Just like what happened with the Chen family, if someone else had learned that the crown prince had been deposed and was now a commoner, he would have felt that it was fair, burst into tears of gratitude, and felt that the emperor was just and selfless.
But if you encounter one or two stubborn people, it will be very difficult.
Chen Qi is one of them.
When Yuanyou heard this, he immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart. After thinking about it, he wanted to go out.
Jiubian called him: "Hey, where are you going?!"
Yuan You sneered coldly: "Go and fight."
Jiubian blinked: "Don't seek death, I won't care if you die!"
"Don't worry about it, I'll go find You Zongzhi."
With that said, he left quickly. Jiubian was helpless: "Is there something wrong with his brain? He fights and fights every day!"
Li Lin made a pot of tea, then twisted a piece of mooncake and took a bite. It tasted a bit sweet, but it was still manageable.
Jiubian stepped forward and said, "Sir, can I have a taste? Just one."
Li Lin slapped away the hand he was about to extend: "It's not as good as what the dim sum chef makes. You have to eat it and ask them to do it."
Jiubian laughed: "Isn't this different? What the princess did is not the same."
Li Lindao: "The princess said it was given to me, and you have no part in it."
Jiubian choked. Didn't he want to taste the mooncakes made by the princess himself? The master was too protective of food.
"That's alright, I won't eat." Jiubian put his fan on his belt, then found a seat beside him and sat down. He said one more thing, "The emperor wanted to make Zhao Mingzhan the crown prince, but Zhao Mingzhan refused. ”
"Oh? Rejected? But it is in line with Zhao Mingzhan's temperament. He is now the prince of Prince Zhao and will be the prince in the future. He has power and wealth. Why bother to wade through this muddy water again? This burden is not light."
"With the Beiyuan Royal Court looking at us outside, and the clans inside us, this position is very difficult."
