Chapter 34 Strange

As a small figure under the general trend, Xu Zhen, a doctor of Taichang Temple, felt a lot of pressure.

In the past, he was an insignificant official in Taichang Temple and his life was very tight. In the Daming Palace, everyone could call him around. When he returned home, his wife had to talk nonsense and her life was dark.

Finally, I had the opportunity to climb the big tree of Xue Chongxun and immediately rose to prominence. I went from being an official to becoming a doctor. Although the official was not very big, it was much better than before. At least I was an official, and I could even put on airs and ask people to serve when I got home.

But what he had just done as Xue Chongxun ordered made him feel quite uneasy.

Telling Prime Minister Wei Zhigu about the rebellion of the prince...

He didn't think about it carefully before. Since he had done what his superiors had told him, he naturally did it. Now he remembered his fear.

Will the prince rebel?

Xu Zhen felt it was unlikely. This was probably another trick of Princess Taiping and his family to attack the princelings.

The above gods fighting against him had nothing to do with him, but the problem was that if this matter was a big deal, the investigation would be slander. Can Xue Chongxun protect me?

Xu Zhen has always shown his attachment to Xue Chongxun. Xue Chongxun should not be so stupid as to mess with his own people... Xu Zhen is afraid that Xue Chongxun is unable to protect him.

After thinking about it, he still felt that Princess Taiping was much more reliable than Xue Chongxun, and this might be an opportunity to climb the big tree of Princess Taiping.

This cannot be considered betrayal. Xue Chongxun was originally the Princess Taiping person.

After thinking about it many times, Xu Zhen finally walked towards Princess Taiping's Mansion.

When it was time to come, after the drums in the Daming Palace sounded, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Princess Taiping Mansion in Zhenguo, wearing purple, red, and blue. The officials entering and leaving were dazzling.

Some are senior officials who cling to the princess; some come to ask for business; some come to ask about official duties, because the emperor always asks if there are some major issues, so it is better to ask the princess first; some are direct officials in the princess's mansion.

Princesses of the Li Tang Dynasty generally did not interfere in politics, and would not establish government offices. In the early days, only one of Li Yuan's daughters had opened a palace for great contributions. Now, Princess Taiping, Zhenguo, also opened a palace, with 5,000 households, and the filial piety and gifts of countless local officials.

She is a princess, bigger than the prince's place.

A small official like Xu Zhen was extremely shabby when he walked to the princess's mansion, and he felt a little timid.

At this moment, he saw Prime Minister Dou Huaizhen getting out of the car. The handsome Dou Huaizhen was the one who would report to Princess Taiping after every day.

Xu Zhen hurriedly walked up and bowed to him: The official has met Mr. Dou.

Who is the one who dispersed? Didn’t you see my son busy?I went to the yamen to say something when I had something to come tomorrow.

Haonu immediately shouted loudly. Seeing that the clothes Xu Zhen was wearing were green, Haonu almost called out.

However, Dou Huaizhen was in a good mood and was willing to carefully enjoy the dignity of this power. When he saw others bowing to him because of his fear of his power, Dou Huaizhen felt a sense of satisfaction and immediately waved: Come here, what kind of yamen are you from?

Xu Zhen hurried over and wanted to kneel down if it was not in accordance with the rules. He bent his waist very low. Xiaguan was a doctor of Taichang Temple and Xue Qing.

Dou Huaizhen brushed his wide long sleeves and made a cool move: Xue Lang Ah, I chatted together in His Highness’s mansion last time... What's wrong with you?

Xu Zhen looked around and said in a deep voice: It’s very important, can Mr. Dou take me to present to Princess Taiping in Zhenguo in person?

Dou Huaizhen said: Just tell me, I happened to go into the mansion and help you say something in front of the hall.

Xu Zhen took a step forward and tried to lower his voice and said: It's the matter of the prince... I have to see Your Highness before I can tell you.

After hearing this, Dou Huaizhen raised her eyebrows and pulled her face down: You can't say such words randomly, and you can lose your head when you speak, understand?

Xu Zhen said: I am of a grade, I don’t understand yet, so I can only talk about it in front of the princess.

Dou Huaizhen pondered for a moment and immediately said: OK, follow me in.

Thank you Mr. Dou.

It is not very strict to enter the door, because many of them are looking for officials in the princess's mansion for daily official duties, and they do not want to see the princess.

After they walked past a complex near the door and came to another door, it was not easy to get in.

You have to record your name, official position, and even describe portraits.

However, it is still easy for Dou Huaizhen to enter. He is a regular customer and it is no problem to bring an official in. Just record it.

Princess Taiping met the court officials who visited today in the front hall. In addition to Dou Huaizhen, Cui Shi and others from the Secretariat, who were all backbones of the Taiping Party.

However, Dou Huaizhen didn't like Cui Shi very much. He always felt that this man was so angry that he was very fancy in his clothes, and wearing some clothes was like a damn actor.

The main reason is that Dou Huaizhen looked down on Cui Xi. Although everyone came from Princess Taiping, Dou Huaizhen felt that she still had real skills. Cui Xi was like a male lover who sold sex with her appearance, and was as bad as the outside.

After Princess Taiping took her seat, she glanced at the people in the hall and noticed Xu Zhen wearing blue clothes. This person was not only of a low-grade person, but also had a naive face.

She said: Who are you and how did you come in?

Dou Huaizhen hurriedly said: Your Highness, this person is an official from Taichang Temple. He said he was under Xue Lang, so what was his name... Anyway, he said there was news that the prince was ill-behaved. I thought that there were no outsiders here anyway, so I took him in and listened. It was wrong, so I just got it out and asked for a crime.

Princess Taiping said majesticly: The prince is the foundation of the country, how can anyone slander it?I think you are impatient in your life.

Although Xu Zhen was extremely panicked, he felt much more at ease with a life-saving talisman in his arms.

He immediately reached into his arms, took out his life-saving talisman, wrote a letter, and knelt down on the ground and held up the letter with both hands: Xue Qing's handwritten letter, please check it out.

Cui Wei hurriedly ran over and picked up the letter and passed it to Princess Taiping. He seemed to have done such a good job of running errands.

Princess Taiping opened the letter and it turned out to be her son's first hand, and there was nothing wrong with it.

When she finished reading the content, her face changed a little: Why did Chongxun do this?

She suddenly remembered that other confidants were confused when they didn't read the letter, so she passed it to Dou Huaizhen and others to read it.

Dou Huaizhen was also very confused after seeing this: There is no need for the prince to do this, and the risk is too great. This matter is probably groundless. What is strange is why Xue Lang came up with this bad strategy?Even if it can be passed down through Wei Zhigu, the emperor may not believe it. Perhaps he may still suspect that it was our conspiracy behind it.Strange, really strange!

Another minister pondered: When it comes to Wei Zhigu, today's emperor will definitely know about this.No matter what happens, no matter whether you believe it or not, you will definitely ask the source of the news. What should Xue Lang say before today?Why didn’t Xue Lang say this to His Highness in advance?

Isn’t it clear if I bring Chongxun over and ask?It just so happened that his injury did not heal, so he was asked to go to our mansion to raise it.Princess Taiping said.

……

Wei Zhigu is white and fat, with a round face and double chin, and a smile always hangs on his face, looking very kind.

As soon as he read the letter Xu Zhen wrote to him, he immediately felt incredible, but after thinking about it, this matter was of great importance. The person who wrote the letter was from Duke Wei. He could not just throw it away, but he should report it to the emperor as soon as possible.

But he thought about it again: If I ran to Linde Hall like this and told me today, wouldn’t I have helped with the matter of slandering the prince?

Wei Zhigu left the outside of the Daming Palace and did not rush to see the emperor. He went directly to the Eastern Palace. When he met Li Longji, he said: Your Highness, I just got a message. Someone said that you are disrespectful... Of course, I think it is nonsense, but I am afraid that others will be unpredictable. Your Highness must be wary of it.

Li Longji was originally smiling, but when he heard the smile on his face, he disappeared completely. He was shocked at first, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Not many people knew about Liu Youqiu and others' suggestions for a coup. Now Wei Zhiqiu knows about it. What's going on?

Li Long basically did not intend to adopt Liu Youqiu's suggestion. He had already given up that idea and just thought about how to comfort his subordinates. The most important thing was to keep Gao Lishi and give everyone a reassurance and stabilize their momentum...

Who would have thought that the news would leak?

He walked a few steps and suddenly remembered Zhang Wei. This person is so heroic that he is reliable, but he just likes to drink some wine. I am afraid the mistake is caused by Zhang Wei!

Li Longji hurriedly asked: Who is slandering me?

Wei Zhigudao: This person is a doctor of Taichang Temple, but he mentioned Duke Wei. Who else can there be except Princess Taiping’s side in this matter?

Li Longji pondered and said that if Princess Taiping used slandering him, Li Longji's method of rebellion, it would be useless; now she no longer spreads rumors about the deposing of the eldest son and establishing the young son, and it seems that the strategy has been adjusted to ease the situation and make steady progress...

From this point of view, Princess Taiping could never fabricate such a thing out of thin air. This method is useless at all, and it is possible to shoot herself in the foot.

Then why did she do this?It is very likely that he already has the evidence in his hand... the most important thing is that it is too coincidental. The two confidants came up with bad ideas to Li Longji, and Taiping immediately took action.

At this moment, Wei Zhigu held a ritual and said: Your Highness knows, then I will say goodbye first.

Li Longji said in a deep voice: Is Mr. Wei going to say to his father?

Wei Zhigu looked a little embarrassed and said: If I don’t say it, others will say it, but the person who provoked this matter will only end up with his own consequences. Isn’t that obvious?Your Highness doesn't have to care.

It is indeed obvious. The problem is that Princess Taiping is also a very experienced person. Can she make such an obvious mistake?Wei Zhigu's sentence was obviously stranger to Li Longji.

Today's emperor may not believe that Li Longji would be plotting a rebellion, but if it were not completely unfounded, Liu Youqiu and Zhang Wei would probably not be able to escape.And today, Li Longji is indeed a little wary of him...

When you stop breaking, you will suffer from chaos!Li Longji immediately called Wei Zhigu and said: Please stay, please stay. I will go to the palace to meet my father immediately and tell me about this when facing him.

Wei Zhigu thought for a while and said: It's good to take the initiative, so as not to complain first.
