Chapter 111: Share the worries and solve problems for Li Shimin
When Lin Xiu left the Wei Prince's Mansion, Fang Xuanling also happened to leave the Duke of E.
Yuchi Gong and Yang personally sent Fang Xuanling out of the mansion. The three of them had a great time talking. It seemed that this visit had achieved each other's wishes.
Finally, I sent my son and daughter out.
When Fang Xuanling returned to the mansion, he immediately called Lin Xiu and explained the situation to him: "According to your opinion, we took the initiative to ask Yuchi Qingqing. Her attitude was to obey her parents' arrangements. So my uncle and I discussed it and prepared to make a marriage first. After all, you are still studying in the Imperial College. When you graduate, you will discuss marriage matters based on your birth date. What do you think?"
"Uncle has made the decision for me, so let's do it. Yuchi Qingqing has no objection, so I naturally don't." Lin Xiu did not refuse. After all, a wife with long legs had to be secretly happy in her previous life.
It seems that the invention of stockings is on the agenda.
Hearing Lin Xiu's approval, Fang Xuanling nodded happily.
However, Lin Xiu said again: "It is OK to get engaged, but if you get married, you may have to wait for a while. I must find my second master and my master. I will get married for the first time and they must be present. This matter must be explained to Uncle Yuchi!"
"You are considerate and you must have arrived when you get married." At this point, Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and then said, "You should have found out that the case of Xue Zongdao is involved with the prince."
Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Uncle always hides it from me, so I can only investigate it myself. And I have confirmed that my second master once sneaked into the East Palace to assassinate Li Chengqian, but it failed. Do you want to tell me now?"
When Lin Xiu first arrived in Chang'an, how could he find the clues that he could find, the scheming Fang Xuanling could not find? What's more, most of the clues that Lin Xiu got were obtained through Li Jing, and based on the relationship between Li Jing and Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling would know them.
Fang Xuanling replied: "I found more clues than you. The reason why I didn't tell you is that I didn't want you to be implicated. You should understand that once Xue Zongdao implicates the Turks and the prince participates in it, what does it mean? This will cause the Tang Dynasty to fall into chaos. But I also understand that you will not give up on investigation. Your personality is not afraid of heaven or earth. No matter what prince he is, you don't care at all. What I said is right?"
"I didn't care before, but now I have to care." Lin Xiu replied. He has recognized his relatives now, and even a member of the Fang Mansion, he has to think twice about his work.
Fang Xuanling felt warm and immediately said, "According to my investigation, it is suspected that the case of Xue Zongdao was framed by the prince who sent someone to frame Li Jing to lose the position of Minister of War and Hou Junji to take office. However, due to the deaths of the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the destruction of other evidence, this is just a suspicion. After your second master Duan Tianya came to Chang'an, he should have found out about this information through his own way, so he sneaked into the Eastern Palace. Unfortunately, although he is a master's cultivation, the Eastern Palace is the place where the crown prince lives, and since ancient times, the garrison was second only to the imperial palace. Therefore, your second master's plan was not successful, but he was seriously injured. Through my personal relationship, I found out the situation of the battle that night. Although your second master was seriously injured, he would not be in danger of life after successfully escaping. So where your second master went is still a mystery."
Lin Xiu nodded and agreed with Fang Xuanling's statement. Since the second master escaped from the pursuit of the imperial guards, why did he still disappear? Was he hiding or encountering other dangers?
"By the way, uncle, I heard that the prince was assassinated and the saint was furious. But later the saint did not search for my second master with great fanfare. Could it be that the saint secretly sent a master to arrest my second master and imprisoned him, so he did not continue to pursue him?" Lin Xiu made an assumption.
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "The reason why the saint did not pursue him is because he knew that the assassin was from Cihang Jianzhai, so he did not leave him that night, and knew that it would be useless to continue the search. Instead, it would cause storms throughout the city and encourage Cihang Jianzhai's arrogance."
"So that's it!" Lin Xiu replied, and a thought flashed through his mind, whether to tell him about Duan Xiaoyan and Wang Xuefei's situation, but he quickly rejected this idea.
Fang Xuanling continued, "Actually, there is another big doubt, that is, how did your second master find out that the prince was involved? At that time, your second master first arrived in Chang'an and was not familiar with the place. Even if he had connections before, it would be difficult to find clues. If it were you, could you do it?"
"I can't do it!" Lin Xiu shook his head.
Fang Xuanling said again: "So I doubt there is still a conspiracy. They took over all this and made your second master find the prince. After your second master failed to assassinate, it fell into their hands again!"
Who is Fang Xuanling? The strategy is definitely well-known when someone gives away a house. His speculation was also approved by Lin Xiu. The position of the prince is too eye-catching, and someone must have to deal with him secretly. So, using a master to deal with the prince, two words: Perfect!
If this is true, the water here will be deeper and the relationship will be more complicated.
Seeing Lin Xiu silent, Fang Xuanling said, "This is why I don't want you to participate, because I'm worried that the vortex will be too deep and will wrap you in."
"Uncle, please rest assured, I won't do anything randomly." Lin Xiu comforted.
Fang Xuanling smiled, not believing in Lin Xiu's comfort. Although he was busy with official duties in the Secretariat all day long, Lin Xiuming's actions were still very clear. For example, he and Li Dejian went to see the prince, and then went to the Wei Palace. If it were Fang Yiai and others, he would have scolded him long ago, but he could not stop Lin Xiu.
As for the reasons, there are many aspects.
Then, Fang Xuanling needed to enter the palace, so he let Lin Xiu leave.
After entering the palace, Fang Xuanling reported to Li Shimin about the marriage between Lin Xiu and Yuchi Qingqing. After hearing this, Li Shimin was very happy: "When will Lin Xiu get along with Jingde's daughter? Tell me quickly!"
Fang Xuanling briefly explained the situation between the two.
When Li Shimin heard Lin Xiu healing Yuchi Qingqing's wounds, looking at places that should not be seen, and touching the places that should not be touched, Li Shimin smiled even more: "Since ancient times, men and women have not been compatible. Since the two have a skin kinship, this marriage cannot be stopped by anyone. Lin Xiu is suitable, suitable, and very suitable!"
Fang Xuanling said: "Reporting to the saint, Yuchi Qingqing actually has a good impression of Lin Xiu, but when talking about this marriage, her attitude turned down. After Yang asked, she realized that Yuchi Qingqing saw that Princess Gaoyang liked Lin Xiu, and the two girls were good friends, so Yuchi Qingqing resisted. Later, Yang understood the reason and said that a woman's chastity was more important than life, so she convinced Yuchi Qingqing and made her nod. I think that Princess Gaoyang could also use this as a breakthrough to let Princess Gaoyang understand that Lin Xiu was not a suitable candidate for the princess."
"It makes sense! Gao Yang has been favored by me since I was a child, so I must not let her make a fuss this time. In addition, her marriage must be finalized as soon as possible. Xuanling, what are you thinking about? I think Fang Yiai is a loyal and kind person and is very suitable to be Gao Yang's son-in-law. What do you think?" Li Shimin asked.
Fang Xuanling said, "Sage, I want to finalize Lin Xiu's marriage first. I will consider Fang Yiai's marriage in a few days. I would like to ask the saint to forgive me!"
When Li Shimin saw him procrastinating, he did not force him. As long as Lin Xiu didn't become the prince-consort, anyone who was the prince-consort would be fine.
Then, Li Shimin thought of the prince and couldn't help but sigh, "Xuanling, we haven't played chess for a long time, come and play chess with me."
Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin had something to do, so he asked, "Dare you ask what the saint is disturbed?"
After the two of them set up the chessboard, Li Shimin sighed: "It's not the prince yet! I have high hopes for him. I have found so many respected and virtuous teachers who are both morally and highly qualified and have taught him and educated him, and asked him to go to the deliberation hall to participate in the handling of state affairs, but his performance disappointed me. During this period, Sun Yingda, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and others have to impeach the prince every day, and he is not good at it! Is it really my fault if my son is not a godfather's fault?"
■Fang Xuanling had already guessed that it was the prince. After all, the Tang Dynasty is rich and strong. Even if there are disasters in the local area, it will not make the saints so distressed.
However, Li Chengqian is the crown prince after all, and the saint can evaluate it. Fang Xuanling is a minister. How can he answer?
So he stared at the chessboard, as if thinking about how to make the next step.
When Li Shimin saw Fang Xuanling's actions, he glanced at the chessboard that had only fallen into two sons, and said angrily: "Don't pretend to think, there are no outsiders here. I forgive you for not guilty of anything you say here."
"I received the order!" Fang Xuanling also knew that it was impossible not to say it. As the emperor's confidant, it was also something that a minister should do as a minister.
So Fang Xuanling thought about it and said, "Sage, the prince has been erect and sturdy since he was a child, and has a deep filial piety. When the prince's Grand Tutor Li Gang was unable to walk because of his foot disease, the saint allowed him to enter the palace by car. At that time, His Highness of the Prince personally led Lord Li into the hall and saluted respectfully, asking him humbly, and his attitude was extremely respectful."
"At that time, Lord Li Gang praised His Highness the Crown Prince and said that he had the style of a saint. Why have he been impeached so many times today? I think that His Highness the Crown Prince is still the former Prince, intelligent, kind and filial. The reason for the problem is that all the great masters have too high requirements for His Highness the Crown Prince. Their purpose is not to cultivate the crown prince, but to be a perfect saint."
"So the prince likes music, and will be impeached and fascinated by the mediocre sounds. The prince likes gorgeous palaces, and will be impeached and live a luxurious life."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince, so he must be in love with the world and have a great heart. But now, the impeachment of the teacher who was taught has been for a long time, and His Highness the Crown Prince will also have a sense of anger in his heart. This sense of anger can be both self-blame and grievance."
"What you say is reasonable, what you say is reasonable!" After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
Fang Xuanling is helping the prince? No.
Fang Xuanling knew that the saint had never had the intention of Yi Chu, and his disappointment with Li Chengqian was just a worry of being a father.
Is it because the child is not good at studying, so he doesn’t want this child?
