Chapter 1468 Li Zhi's Despair
The peasants helped the soldiers set up tents under the dam, boiled hot water to cook meals, and called the soldiers on the dam to fill the gap in the dam to eat in turn.
Cheng Yaojin took Fang Jun to eat a simple meal alone in a barracks, made a pot of tea, and talked.
"The old man sees that you still have doubts about the Yicang?" Cheng Yaojin felt that Fang Jun was out of his mind, so he asked.
"How could it be? It's just a little embarrassing. How can I say it... I don't feel sorry for the boy, it's probably the current situation, right?"
Fang Jun sneered, shook his head and sighed.
His Majesty Li Er was ambitious and devoted himself to building the Great Tang into an invincible empire, but his son was behind the scenes to engage in these stupid acts that shake the country and disrupt the law...
"No, no, there is something wrong with your view."
Cheng Yaojin put down his teacup, and said solemnly: "You can't look at the problem either one or the other. On the surface, it seems that the Wang family was instructed by that Highness, and then joined forces with the Wei family and other aristocratic families to resell food... But who knows if someone beat you to death?" Acting on our own under the banner of His Highness? Our father and father are not outsiders, and the old man and father-in-law are in the same spirit, so we don't hide it. The eldest grandson, the old fox, is insidious and cunning, and there may not be his handwriting in it."
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Isn't it?"
"Hehe, that's not the case? Based on the old man's understanding of the Changsun Yin man, there is nothing he dare not do!"
Having been a colleague for decades, Cheng Yaojin naturally has the right to comment on Changsun Wuji, and he has every reason to prove that his words are very objective.
Fang Jun remained silent.
If this is the case...then Chang'an City is very lively now.

"boom!"
The gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion was kicked open. Under the guard of the imperial guards wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, Jin Wang Li Zhi strode into the courtyard in a brocade robe. anger.
The door of Zhao Guogong's mansion was sheltering from the rain in the gatehouse. It was almost midnight and everyone was sleepy and dozed off, but they were suddenly awakened by the sound of kicking the door.
Who dares to play wild in Zhao Guogong's mansion?
When the gatekeepers rushed out of the doorway with sticks in their hands, and saw the gloomy Prince Jin driving straight into the sky, not only were they all Qi Qinahan, but they also hurriedly saluted.
His Royal Highness King Jin always respected Changsun Wuji very much, how could he be so impolite today and kick in the door without authorization?
"His Royal Highness King Jin came late at night, I don't know but there is something to do..."
Before the disciple could finish speaking, Jin Wang Li Zhi already had a gloomy face, and shouted decisively: "Is Zhao Guogong in the mansion? Hurry up and take me to see him!"
At this time, the Patriarch has already fallen asleep, what is so urgent to wake the Patriarch from the bed...
Despite the slander in his heart, Menzi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please go to the front hall to wait first, and the young one will go to ask the Patriarch..."
Li Zhi snorted coldly, and strode towards the front hall.
The guards behind him hurriedly followed behind with an umbrella, so as not to wet His Highness's robes from the rain...
After entering the front hall, there was a maid who offered tea, but Li Zhi kicked her over, and the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The maid got up and knelt and kowtowed, terrified, she didn't know what mistake she had made to annoy this always kind and refined His Royal Highness King Jin so much.As a maid and servant, it is extremely serious if you offend the Patriarch, right or wrong, you may be whipped to death...
Normally, Li Zhi would not embarrass an innocent maidservant, but today he was so angry that he couldn't care less, ignored the maidservant's begging, and sat down on the chair with a cold face.
A steward came in bowing his waist, and saw that the maid had offended His Royal Highness Jin, and immediately ordered her to be dragged away and killed...
Now Li Zhi doesn't have the slightest heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and is full of anger. He just waits to see Changsun Wuji and ask him to understand!
The servants and maidservants of Duke Zhao's mansion stood silently by the side, while the imperial guards of Prince Jin's mansion stood on the left and right with their hands on the handles of their knives, full of murderous aura!
The atmosphere in the lobby was oppressive, and with the heavy rain outside, it was extremely frightening.
After waiting for a long time, Changsun Wuji came here with a gift...
Probably just waking up, Changsun Wuji's round face was a little swollen, his spirits were low, he yawned and saluted Li Zhi perfunctorily, and asked doubtfully: "Your Highness came late at night, I wonder if there is something important to discuss with this old man?"
He didn't mention Li Zhi kicking the front door angrily.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's innocent and ignorant expression, Li Zhi's cheeks twitched, and he cursed secretly that he was indeed a "yin man"...
Enduring the anger in his heart, Li Zhi returned the courtesy, and asked with a serious face: "I came to see my uncle this time, and there is really one thing I want to ask clearly. The Wang family arbitrarily hooked up with various powerful families, and used up all the grain in the righteous warehouses in Guanzhong, Hedong and other places. They were all resold, but at the behest of my uncle?"
Although he relies on his eldest grandson Wuji, he is not a person with closed eyes and ears. He was born in the palace and grew up in the palace. After all, his father still has his eyes and ears by his side.Wang Jingqi was arrested there overnight, and then Li Junxian entered the palace to report the case to his father, and Li Zhi had already received the news.
Especially after learning that the Wang family resold grain to the Goguryeo people, he almost scared him to death...
The emperor's father wanted to conquer Goguryeo in the east, and included a corner of Liaodong into the territory of the Tang Dynasty to achieve a grand plan and hegemony for generations to come. Now, someone "endowed the enemy" with 40 shi of grain... This is the death penalty of collaborating with the enemy and treason!
Moreover, it is a death penalty for hindering His Majesty Li Er's great ambitions!
The Wang family in Taiyuan is his Yue family. If something like this happens to the Wang family, anyone will think of him as Li Zhi. Is it because he wants to use the method of subsidizing Goguryeo to entrust His Majesty Li Er, who was personally conquered by the emperor, in Liaodong? The wind and rain in Guanzhong put the prince in a situation where there is no redemption?
Otherwise, if His Royal Highness Jin Wang hadn't been in the middle to contact and secretly come forward, no matter how great the face of the Wang family and Wei family is, it would be impossible to gather so many righteous warehouses and resell so much grain...
But Li Zhi knew his own affairs, he didn't do anything!
Apart from himself, the only one who can instruct the Wang family and the Wei family is Changsun Wuji...
But why do you do this?
Isn't this going to put me in a situation where there is no redemption?
Thinking of his father's angry look now... Li Zhi trembled all over, and his heart was broken!
Changsun Wuji looked calm, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "You all quit, I have something to say to Your Highness."
The servants and maidservants of Zhao Guogong's mansion came out in a file, and the guards of Prince Jin's mansion looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhilue pondered for a while, guessing that Changsun Wuji would not be openly unfavorable to him, so he nodded.
The imperial guards of Prince Jin's Mansion also walked out, and there were only two nephews and uncles left in the lobby.
Changsun Wuji sat opposite to Li Zhi, and sighed: "This matter is indeed manipulated by the old man... But the old man is all for His Highness's sake, but he never expected that the secret would be leaked so quickly... The Wang family Those two boys are really idiots, and they ruined the old man's big business!"
When Li Zhi saw his elder grandson Wuji admitting it, he was furious immediately. He got up and said angrily, "Uncle, how can this be so? The Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo is the lifelong belief of the father and emperor. Whoever destroys the plan of the Eastern Expedition is a traitor. Uncle did this." , could it be that he wanted to see Father slash me alive?"
Changsun Wuji looked remorseful and said remorsefully: "I really didn't expect the Wang brothers to be so stupid... But rest assured, Your Majesty loves you, how could your life be killed?"
Li Zhi slumped down on the chair, and said with a sad smile: "Hehe, it is true that my life will not be killed, but the position of the crown prince will never be considered again, it is impossible to say... Father will imprison me for the rest of my life." Don't even think about stepping out of the Taiji Palace..."
Although he is young, he has great ambitions. He always believes that if he is the emperor himself, he will definitely do better than the weak prince.
However, now that Changsun Wuji has done this, it is equivalent to directly cutting off his path to be the crown prince...
No matter how doting his father was on him, it was impossible for him to let him sabotage the plan of the Eastern Expedition and hand over the crown prince to him.
Changsun Wuji was ashamed and defeated: "It's all my fault for being too radical... It's just that things have come to this, what can I do?"
Yes, the matter has come to this point, what can I do?
Li Zhi's anger was swept away in an instant, replaced by endless loss and grievances...
How could the insidious and cunning Changsun Wuji do such an extremely stupid thing?If he hadn't always been close to his eldest grandson Wuji, and the two of them are now in an alliance state, one prospers and the other loses, he doubts whether this uncle is the secret agent sent by the prince's brother to him...
Li Zhi let out a long sigh, and walked out of the lobby in a daze, ignoring Changsun Wuji's call behind him.
After daybreak, what awaits him must be a piece of imperial edict, compared with his father, he will be imprisoned until death...
It's just a pity that my ambition hit a rock and sank before it set sail.
Changsun Wuji sat on the chair and saw Li Zhi's figure disappearing into the rain curtain at the door, the remorse on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy and cold one.
After touching the teapot, which was still warm, he lifted it up to pour a cup, put it to his lips, and took a sip before slowly exhaling.
Innocent child, do you think that your father would hand over the crown prince to you?
To do extraordinary things, of course you need extraordinary means!
It's not that your uncle harmed you, but if it wasn't for cutting off your hope and pushing you to a dead end, how could you be desperate and go forward when you get hope in the future...
