After being pulled by Yu Wenrong to the old willow tree next to Longshou Pond, Song Jing and Yu Wenrong stood opposite each other.
"Master Yuwen brought me here, but there is something important to discuss?"
"It is true that I have something important to discuss with you in Guangping."
Yu Wenrong was worried: "In two days, the army that went to fight against Tibet will return to the court!"
"This time our soldiers played against Tubo. Not only did they take back the military fortress Shibao City, but they also expanded thousands of miles into Tubo territory and won a complete victory."
Since the Taizong period, except for the temporary peace brought by Princess Wencheng and her husband, the entanglement between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has been going on. The soldiers on this expedition recaptured Shibao City and crushed Tubo with an absolute advantage.
After this battle, Tubo would never dare to act rashly in the short term.
Song Jing asked in confusion: "Why is Lord Yuwen worried?"
"Guangping, you are pretending to be confused because you understand. I know that you have a close relationship with that little princess, but you cannot shield her like this just because of your old relationship with her."
Yu Wenrong's eyes were sharp: "I heard that King Anxin let Dalangya go at the border fortress precisely because the princess was involved. This is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"
"I believe that the princess and King Anxin are collaborating with the enemy!"
Song Jing was about to say something, but Yu Wenrong interrupted him: "She, a princess, inserted her hands into the army and colluded with frontier generals such as King Anxin. Isn't this a good signal?"
"The Imperial Physician Wang helped her establish the Medical Insurance Agency. She was already very popular among the courtiers and the people. She developed strange medicines for wound infections, sent Mafei Powder to the army, and colluded with King Anxin to donate white cotton to win over the frontier soldiers. Now she is like a success. He has lost the living Bodhisattva in the hearts of the army officers and the people in the border towns. If we, the ministers, are not vigilant, we may cause catastrophe."
Song Jing was noncommittal: "Master Yuwen is really overly worried. Based on my understanding of the tenth princess, she did this out of the righteousness of her heart and not for any purpose."
"That little princess is very good at bewitching people. It seems that you, Master Song, have also been bewitched by her."
Yu Wenrong was heartbroken: "Master Song, have you forgotten the lessons of Wu Zhou's political affairs?"
"In the past, there were existences like the Great Sage and Queen, and later there were Empress Wei and Princess Taiping who disrupted the government. As a princess, she was already very prestigious among the courtiers and the people. Now she has even inserted her hands into the army, and she is in the hearts of the frontier generals. You have established your authority, isn’t this what you are plotting step by step?”
Yu Wenrong continued to talk: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent. She is a daughter, but she is not inferior to men in everything she does. Even if it is true as Lord Song said, everything she does is with righteousness in mind, but Sir How to ensure that one day she will not develop ambitions? Supporting her biological younger brother to plot Li Tang's foundation? How will His Highness the Crown Prince deal with himself then?"
"Master Song, if the position of the crown prince is threatened, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be unstable!"
The emperor always selects ministers who have made outstanding achievements in local affairs. Now that King Anxin has made outstanding military achievements, it is very likely that he will be called to serve in Zhongshu Province.
Master Yuwen was afraid that his position would be insecure, and wanted to use the tenth princess as a breakthrough to attack King Anxin who had made great achievements in war. Therefore, after the tenth princess returned to Beijing, Yuwen's party jumped up and down in the court.
These were all within Song Jing's expectations.
But if the prince is involved behind this matter, the meaning will be different. On the day when the army returns to the court, there will be a bloody storm in the court.
When Yu Wenrong mentioned the prince, Song Jing looked horrified: "Is this matter actually involving the prince?"
Yu Wenrong was not sure of persuading Song Jing at first, but Ruyi, the palace maid next to Yu Wen Zhaorong, came to the path near the lake and saw Yu Wen Rong discussing something with Lord Song. She couldn't help but nodded to Yu Wen Rong.
After receiving the signal that the matter was successful, he followed Ruyi's gaze to Li Linfu, who was having a drink with the prince. Yu Wenrong knew that today's plan had been completed, and couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
"Of course, Concubine Yu gave birth to a prince. This newly born prince has an imperial sister with hands and eyes as bright as the sky, and a concubine who is always favored as his biological mother. This has already threatened the status of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Even though the tenth princess is very close to His Highness the Crown Prince, is His Highness better than the royal brother who is a compatriot of the princess's mother?"
Yu Wenrong approached Song Jing and said mysteriously: "Besides, the tenth princess and the prince are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface."
Song Jing looked stunned, waiting for Yu Wenrong to continue.
Seeing no one around, Yu Wenrong spoke eloquently: "I heard that the death of the prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, was inseparable from the tenth princess."
"It was the tenth princess who alienated the mother-son relationship between His Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Shu, and then dealt cruelly to Concubine Shu, causing her to die tragically in the Luoyang Palace. Sir Song, please think about it, doesn't His Highness the Crown Prince miss the kindness of his biological mother?"
"Thanks to the gift of the ten princesses, His Highness the Crown Prince is now helpless in this deep palace. Without the support of his powerful relatives, and with the powerful mother clan behind his royal brothers, and so many princes eyeing him, His Highness the Crown Prince's status is already in jeopardy. , not to mention that now there is a little prince who is a greater threat to him."
"The tenth princess has sinister intentions and plots every step of the way. How can His Highness continue to seek skin from a tiger? All the previous forbearances and pretending to be harmonious are nothing more than expediency."
"King Anxin, a frontier general, colluded with the tenth princess. What was his plan? He also let go of such an important prisoner as Dalang Ya."
Yu Wenrong stretched out his hand and patted Song Jing hard on the shoulder, advising him: "Sir Song, you must know that you joined forces with me to impeach King Anxin for having an affair with Tubo, not because of your selfishness or mine, but to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. .”
"If the prince is unstable, the government will be in turmoil. As His Majesty's important ministers, you and I should devote ourselves to it, shouldn't we?"
Yu Wenrong sighed heavily: "On the day when the army returns to the court, I will impeach King Anxin, a meritorious minister. Even if some people in the court misunderstand me, even if some people think that I am a villain, considering the overall situation and for the sake of the stability of the court, I will Still have to do it.”
"I hope Lord Song can also figure it out and be of the same mind as me!"
The dragon boat race is over and the Dragon Boat Festival is almost over!
Seeing Yu Wenrong patting Song Jing's shoulder and leaving in high spirits, the prince asked Li Linfu on the side: "Master Li, do you think that Yu Wenrong, the mastermind behind the murder of the emperor's sister, will be the one who falls into this country when the army returns to the court?" Which turtle is in the urn of the palace and the imperial sister?"
Looking at the gray-faced Li Linfu, the prince added: "It's just like Mr. Li climbed into the urn set up by me and the imperial sister today."
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind!
Only then did Li Linfu realize that he and Yu Wenrong thought they had seen through people's plans, but there was no rift between the prince and the tenth princess because of the birth of the little prince.
