Chapter 123 Xiao Yu's sinister intentions (3)
This old boy Du Chuke really got him wrong this time. His father-in-law is really a character.
No wonder my father was able to defeat Jiancheng and Yuanji back then. A small military officer in the Qin Palace had such ability.
If you find an excuse to get an "Eighteen Bachelor", then when you do things in the future, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
Then he straightened his robe, bowed his hands to Lao Taishan, and said respectfully: "Please give me some advice."
"After all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties and is well-informed. He is indeed very proficient in the art of fighting against different parties. Doesn't he know what His Majesty is thinking?
Over the years, he had deep grudges with people like Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, and he wanted to take this opportunity to bring them down again.
Feeling that he was alone and weak, he tried to use His Highness's prestige among the scholars to make things worse.
If things really develop as he thinks, His Majesty will have to pursue the case. The result will naturally be the same as when the provincial officials pulled Changsun Wuji out of his position.
As for the talk of overthrowing the prince, it is completely to deceive His Highness. If the prince was involved in this matter, would your Majesty still allow him to this day?"
"It turns out that Xiao Yu has such a deep intention behind this move." Li Tai said harshly.
"That's what he thinks, but how can your majesty let him lead you by the nose? Your highness, I am sure that Xiao Yu will not cause any trouble this time.
If you submit this memorial, not only the prince and Fang Xuanling, but also powerful figures such as Li Jing will hate you.
Even His Majesty would say that Your Highness is incompetent and ungrateful, and you know that the Prince has just helped you."
Although Li Tai was responsible for the examination fraud case, who didn't know that it was the man from the East Palace who ordered the sealing of the Nine Gates and spent several days in the Ministry of Punishments.
Without the help of the prince, how could his good son-in-law escape from such a big case this time?
"Xiao Yu is really too insidious. Xiao Wang will never interact with him again." Li Tai has always regarded Xiao Yu as a confidant and confided in him.
I hope he can help me achieve great things. Who knows that this old guy is now taking advantage of him as his master? Is this still possible?
Seeing Li Tai's angry look, Yan Lide couldn't help but smile. This person always has to learn from mistakes, and Xiao Yu's incident can just temper Li Tai's character.
As for Xiao Yu, it's better not to offend him. The Xiao family and the Dugu family are still very powerful.
I heard that the new head of the Dugu family during the Northern Expedition did not rely on the merits of his ancestors to become famous in the battle at Evil Yang Ridge.
Such an upstart is Xiao Yu's wife and nephew. How can you speak for him when he comes back from the front line? Your Majesty must not chill the hearts of the front line generals.
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. After all, Xiao Yu is a veteran of three dynasties and has deep roots in the court.
His Majesty also suffered a lot of favors from him when he ascended the throne in the 9th year of Taketoku, and based on this, Your Majesty will not do anything to him, so His Highness is better off muddle along."
Yan Lide's explanation made Li Tai feel a lot better. He said that Xiao Yu could not wait to be punished.
It can be seen from what happened today that this old guy is definitely a villain. We can't let him worry about it, otherwise what happened today will definitely not be the last time.
Li Tai was really glad that he listened to Du Chuke's words today. If he had listened to Xiao Yu's words, he would have been doomed and there would be no possibility of success.
"Li Tai has a dull talent and has always lacked guidance from experts, so he has accomplished nothing. Please take care of him in the future."
God still takes care of me. After leaving Doubt and causing trouble for Xiao Yu, he also sent me Yan Lide. Isn't this God's arrangement? Besides, he is also my father-in-law, so there is no need to worry about him plotting against me.
When the Wang family broke off the engagement, he was still a little disappointed, thinking that he had lost his arm. But judging from the current situation, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. For the first time, Li Tai felt in his heart how wise his father's marriage was.
"Your Highness, you're too polite. Didn't I say that we don't speak to each other as a family? But if there is a need, the Yan family will do their best."
East Palace
When Li Chengqian and Zhang Xuansu were playing chess, they were interrupted by Henglian, who was sweating profusely and presented Li Chengqian with a secret document from Changsun Chong.
"Master Zhang, take a look, Xiao Yu is going to make trouble again." He said and handed the secret fold to Zhang Xuansu on the opposite side.
"What does he want to do by collaborating with so many censors? Your Majesty let him go in the case of scientific examination fraud in order not to implicate the King of Wei. Now isn't he seeking death by doing this?"
Isn't this just trying to push the envelope? I've just given you a favor, and if you come out and bite me later, you won't be a dog.
Now that the country has won such a big victory, it is the time for the whole country to celebrate. You have poured a bucket of dirty water on you, so how will the emperor deal with it?
If this spreads to the army on the front line, what will the soldiers who have just shed blood for the country think, and what should they do if those generals who hold great power have changed their hands? Isn't this going to drain the entire Tang Dynasty?
"It's a beautiful thought, but he also needs to have good teeth, right? Can he bite Li Jing? Who among the important officials in the court would make trouble with him? It's just grandstanding."
"He still wants to drag me into trouble, and he doesn't want his father to listen to him. Isn't this prince dethroned long ago?
It seems that the Lanling Xiao family is going to decline in his hands. I wonder how he will face Liang Ming Emperor Xiao Kui in the future."
Li Chengqian looked disdainful. It turned out that he had a good impression of Xiao Yu. Although he often contradicted him, he was tolerant of him regardless of his qualifications or his relationship with the Li family.
But now it seems that this old guy is obviously shameless. He really thinks that he is a copper pea that cannot be steamed or boiled. My father dares to kill even his own brothers, and he still cares about such a bad old man like you.
What a joke.
"Your Highness, should we do something? We can't watch Xiao Yu making such a fuss."
Li Chengqian waved his hand: "It's not the right time. We have to wait until Duke Zhao and the general come back."
"Your Highness, I am worried that if Xiao Yu does this, it will start a party dispute in the Tang Dynasty. Many party disputes in history evolved from small disputes little by little."
Seeing the worried look on Old Master Zhang's face, Li Chengqian also took a few steps in the room.
Walking to the window, he looked at the bright moon in the night sky and said leisurely: "It's endless fun to fight with the sky, it's endless fun to fight with the earth, and it's endless fun to fight with people. Master Zhang, don't you think it's very interesting."
Hahaha..., "Miao Miao Miao, Your Highness is such an interesting person." Li Chengqian's words deeply inspired the worried Zhang Xuansu.
