Thanks to the personal efforts of Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan, Fuzhou finally recovered from the misdeeds of the governor Lin Shuo.
The people of Fuzhou sang and danced, cheering and celebrating the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose, upheld justice for them, allowing them to gain unexpected benefits and live a stable life. Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan were in the original place of the Governor's Mansion. In the lobby, looking at the evidence collected, his face turned pale.
“I didn’t expect that the Fuzhou governor would act so recklessly after serving as an official for one term.
In just a few months, so much people's wealth and wealth were collected.
It's just a pity that we recovered less than one-tenth of it, and the rest were shipped to Chang'an City.
But the clue was broken as soon as we arrived at Chang'an City. What should we do? "
Li Chengqian rubbed his head and couldn't figure out how to deal with such a matter for a while, while Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian and couldn't help but talk here.
"Your Highness, since it is destined for Chang'an City, as long as your Majesty arranges for trusted confidants, we can definitely investigate into whose hands the money has flowed. It's just..."
Seeing Xu Yunyan just sitting here, Li Chengqian looked at him.
"Master, there are just the two of us here. Is there anything you can't tell me? No matter what Master says, am I still going to tell others?"
Li Chengqian teased Xu Yunyan, and Xu Yunyan cupped his fists.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not mean this at all, but I'm afraid this may involve His Royal Highness's brothers and sisters."
"Oh, what do you mean by this?"
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion, and Xu Yunyan couldn't help but shake his head.
"I hope the general has made the wrong decision. Otherwise, this will intentionally sow the feelings between the brothers of His Royal Highness, and the general will be punished by death."
When Xu Yunyan retaliated and bowed to apologize, Li Chengqian did not immediately help Xu Yunyan up.
Indeed, Li Chengqian was quite kind. When his brother was involved, Li Chengqian didn't dare to think too much, but now that the matter was over, he could only breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, are you overthinking it? My brothers and the others wouldn't dare to act so recklessly, let alone our brothers and sisters."
Li Chengqian still believes in his brother so much, and Xu Yunyan is here to accompany him.
"What His Highness the Crown Prince is saying is that all of His Highness the Crown Prince's brothers and sisters are Gong's fault. It would be inappropriate for him to instigate a relationship between the siblings of His Highness the Crown Prince. The General is willing to be punished by His Highness the Crown Prince."
But before Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan raised any objections to this issue, suddenly the door of the room where they were was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
"Why do you need to admit your mistake? What you said is right, and I support you in doing so. If His Highness dares to deal with you, I will never give up."
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be startled when he saw the figure coming in.
"Master Wei."
Xu Yunyan was very curious that the person who came was unexpected.
"Master Wei."
Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to Li Chengqian's surprised expression. Instead, he looked at Xu Yunyan a little dissatisfied.
"Why is the Champion so timid? That's the fact. His Highness should be informed of his current position, but such affection cannot be tolerated."
At this time, Li Chengqian was a little confused.
"What happened to Master? Why can't you tolerate the kindness of a woman like Cheng Qian?"
Li Chengqian did not expect Wei Zheng to come at all, and Wei Zheng supported Xu Yunyan's point of view as soon as he arrived, saying that his brother had designs on him, which made Li Chengqian very worried.
Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng in front of him, and saw Wei Zheng looking at him with a very ugly expression. Then he looked at Xu Yunyan, who also looked at Wei Zheng with a bad expression.
Just after the two of them looked at each other like this, they suddenly let out a long sigh. Li Chengqian was even more confused and scratched his head and asked curiously.
"What's going on? What's going on? The two masters are here to teach Cheng Qian. Cheng Qian knows that the two masters will never deceive Cheng Qian."
Li Chengqian began to ask seriously, and Xu Yunyan pointed at Wei Zhengdao.
"It's better to ask Mr. Wei for advice. I had no backbone just now and actually compromised. I really let Mr. Wei down."
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian also looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Xu Yunyan who bowed to him and nodded.
"The champion is so daring, so let me say something about it, Mr. Wei."
Then Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and started talking.
"His Royal Highness, you are the crown prince of the country."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Isn't this obvious?"
As soon as Li Chengqian nodded, he saw Wei Zheng staring at him, then lowered his head and looked at Wei Zheng like a good baby.
"Please continue."
Wei Zheng said once when he saw Li Chengqian looking like this.
"The crown prince of the country is closely related to the well-being of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and there must be no accidents."
"???????????????Yes, yes, Mr. Wei said yes. There can be no accidents."
Li Chengqian once again echoed Wei Zheng.
"In this case, in order to stabilize the country and put our generals at ease, how can His Royal Highness be so presumptuous?"
Wei Zheng kept trying to persuade Li Chengqian here, but Li Chengqian just didn't understand what Wei Zheng meant, and then looked at Wei Zheng awkwardly again.
"Master Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Cheng Qian and Cheng Qian are here to look at each other, and Cheng Qian doesn't know whether this is right or wrong!"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian randomly, "Your Highness, if you ascend the throne when His Majesty has an accident, and there are still some people who are dissatisfied, they have also been crown princes. Under such circumstances, our Tang Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil."
Although Wei Zheng said that he was very sorry for Li Shimin, this was not the time to apologize. Instead, he should be responsible for the Tang Dynasty. He could not delay the business of the Tang Dynasty just because of his personal preferences. .
Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard what Wei Zheng said and looked at Wei Zheng.
"Master Wei means that my brothers also want to be crown princes, but my father has not arranged such a task for them."
Li Chengqian was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to argue with Wei Zheng again, but Wei Zheng shook his head.
"Do you know how happy those princes were when you were away from Chang'an City, how they formed cliques, how they behaved in front of His Majesty, and how they wanted to replace you?"
Li Chengqian was even more speechless at this moment.
"Master Wei, does this position make them flock to you so much?"
But Wei Zheng laughed as soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking.
"Your Highness, do you think you haven't grown up yet? Your position is below one person and above ten thousand people!
In order to be able to decide with one word in the future, the Tang Dynasty will not make excuses with you here. Don't you have such a consciousness?
Maybe they will attack you. Some people are already planning to cause you some trouble. This is not something that has happened before. "
After Wei Zheng said this, Li Chengqian still didn't believe it.
"They are all my brothers and sisters! How could this happen?"
"Siblings?"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and said without hesitation, "Aren't the current His Majesty and the former Crown Prince brothers brothers?"
This sentence was taboo in the Li Tang Dynasty.
After Wei Zheng said it, Li Chengqian really had no way to refute anything, so he immediately looked at Wei Zheng here and then at Xu Yunyan.
"Master, have you known these things for a long time, but you just couldn't tell me?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Li Chengqian, "You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You have a special status and are responsible for the safety of the people of the Dawn of the Tang Dynasty. However, now that there are many driving schools supporting them, they do not dare to act recklessly."
After Xu Yunyan said something, Li Chengqian looked at Xu Yunyan.
"Master said this, are you really sure that some people really want to think this way?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Wei Zheng and then at Li Chengqian, "Has His Highness the Crown Prince forgotten that the place where Fuzhou's money and grain went after being converted into gold and silver was Chang'an? And whoever did such a thing in Chang'an must have some plot against His Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
In the past, there might have been a wealthy family, but this wealthy family had no shortage of gold and silver at all. Why would they take such a risk to let the parents and officials here do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of punishment from the court?
This situation can only mean one thing. If the punishment is exceeded, someone will take care of them. If something happens, they don't have to worry. And there are really not many people with that special status who can do such a thing. "
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Wei Zheng clapped his hands here.
"Yes, ??????????????? That's right! And I've already met you on the way here. The few clan members you arranged to go out to deliver the message first, they also talked to me. Said these things.
I have arranged a secret investigation for you, and all kinds of evidence will be sent to me soon, but the result may not be what you want to see. "
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Chengqian couldn't help but panic.
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
Although Li Chengqian was watching Wei Zheng and Xu Yunyan say such words here, Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian were getting closer and closer, and Xu Yunyan and Li Chengqian were known as masters and disciples. They all knew that what Li Chengqian said was not at all why the two of them did what they did. , but why did his brother who was far away in Chang'an City do this?
Seeing Li Chengqian's tendency to become a little irritable, Xu Yunyan sighed.
"Your Highness, it's not that I'm waiting here to cause you trouble, but there are some things that you must be careful about. Even Master Wei and I have to be careful. You can't trust us right away. Maybe we will trick you at some point. Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Wei Zheng was here stroking his beard, "But don't worry, Your Highness. Even if I risk my life, I will keep an eye on the champion for you and won't let the champion do anything wrong."
The two people here said that Li Chengqian should not believe them too much. They would also be wary of each other, which made Li Chengqian feel very uncomfortable.
"I want to think it over."
As Li Chengqian said this, Wei Zheng and Xu Yunyan looked at each other and walked out to leave. However, before taking a few steps, Li Chengqian stopped them.
"Now that the matter in Fuzhou has been settled, shouldn't we return to Beijing? Follow the route we chose and go back to Beijing to see if it will be like this in other places, and if it is really like what happened here in Fuzhou , if there are any other places, there will definitely be any clues that we will find."
Li Chengqian had to deal with it carefully now. He also knew that this position was not so stable. The previous prince was solved by his brother.
It's just that all the generals and commanders have a good relationship with him now, and their heirs are all with him. Will they use this method to start another story of fratricide with him?
Although Li Chengqian didn't think such a situation would happen, it was still possible that someone would actually assassinate him on the road.
So Li Chengqian proposed to rush back to Chang'an on the road to see if anything would happen that would make him feel very uncomfortable.
