Chapter 1567 King Wei: Is he worthy of Xianning? Is he worthy of his father?
Shenjing City
With the arrest of Lu Jiang and Lu Li, the entire Shenjing city was in an atmosphere of white terror. If we add to the previous punishment of the Imperial Censors, the civil service group could be said to be silent.
The people who planned the incident of the Imperial College gathering outside Anshun Gate were originally Lu Jiang and Lu Li.
But why would the two of them join forces to deal with King Wei?
There is a mansion a hundred miles southwest of Shenjing City. It is shaded by bamboo forests and has double-eaved roofs with undulating roof ridges that look like a blue dragon.
Gathering in an octagonal pavilion with dark green tiles and vermilion beams and pillars, Chen Yuan was fishing in the river with a bamboo pole in his hand.
Just then, on a hot summer day, a breeze blew gently, and ripples appeared on the calm lake surface. The willows on the river bank were swaying in the wind, and green waves formed.
At this moment, there were footsteps coming from the winding wooden corridor behind him. A tall young man came quickly with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice, "Sir, Lu Jiang and Lu Li were arrested by Jinyifu."
Chen Yuan asked: "What's going on?"
Ruan Yongde whispered, "The Jinyifu guards tracked down the president of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Li, and Lu Jiang through the students who caused the trouble. They were both thrown into the Jinyifu prison."
Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Were those rumors they spread really spread by Lu Jiang and Lu Li?"
These days, as the students of the Imperial College were causing trouble, some rumors were also spreading in the market. As Chen Yuan, who was paying close attention to the matter, naturally noticed something was wrong.
Ruan Yongde said: "I'm afraid there is something else going on."
Chen Yuan's expression was gloomy and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Ruan Yongde said: "These few days, I have had people investigate the eunuchs who accompanied Song on her return to her parents' home. We can conclude that Qiu Liang should have investigated the matter at the time. What you suspected earlier is not impossible."
Chen Yuan looked deeply, and a light flashed through his mind. He said in a deep voice: "Do you think it is possible that the King of Wei sent someone to spread this matter deliberately?"
Ruan Yongde paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Sir, it's possible."
Chen Yuan stood up, paced back and forth, and said, "If this is true, and Prince Wei is really cunning, then the twins are all his children. Now he is using a trick to confuse people and cover up the scandal?"
As he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he had grasped the key to the matter.
"But even if you spread this matter, no one in the world will believe it." Ruan Yongde said in a deep voice.
"No need. Send someone to rescue the King of Wei and the King of Liang. We will start our army from the local areas and cannot waste time in the capital." Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.
Ruan Yongde said in a deep voice: "Recently, the Jinyifu Guards have been investigating more and more, and there is no place for us in the capital's Zhoufang."
"If it is true that the Prince of Wei has painstakingly usurped the throne, then the loyal and righteous officials of the court will never sit idly by. Li Zan is a loyal and righteous official, and Gao Zhongping is an old official of the Chongping Palace. How can they tolerate this?" Chen Yuan said in a low voice.
Ruan Yongde nodded and said, "Gao Yong had contacted me before. Should I send someone to check it out in the next few days?"
In the Shenjing City, there are still Chen Yuan's death squads left behind.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a cold voice: "I, Chen Han, will never allow that kid to steal the world. I will write a letter immediately, and you ask someone to deliver it to Gao Zhongping. I hope he will understand the righteousness and punish the traitor!"
As Chen Yuan spoke, a lofty sense of mission seemed to appear on his face. He said, "In addition, we must rescue the two kings of Wei and Liang and get out of the capital. We cannot allow that little Jia Heng to steal the sacred weapon of the Han Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yongde bowed in agreement.
Shenjing City, Gaozhai
Gao Zhongping sat down on a pearwood chair. His face with deep wrinkles showed a thoughtful look and his eyes were filled with coldness. At this moment, he was clearly thinking about the current political situation.
With Lu Jiang getting married, the King of Wei will most likely arrange for a civil official who is close to him to join the cabinet.
This Prince Wei, at a time when two generations of emperors had passed away and a young ruler was in power, so wantonly seized power, his intentions were obviously unclear.
Is he loyal or treacherous?
At this moment, a butler entered the hall from outside, his face paused, and said in a loud voice: "Master, someone outside handed me a letter."
Gao Zhongping heard this and put down the teacup in his hand. He frowned and asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "A letter?"
Gao Zhongping's expression was indifferent. He said, "Show it to me."
While the butler was speaking, he walked closer and handed over a letter.
Gao Zhongping began to read by the candlelight beside him. At first he didn't care, but as time passed, he gradually sat up straight, and a thoughtful look appeared on his resolute and majestic face.
This matter...
In fact, the rumors that had been spread among the Jinyi Guards before.
But what it said was quite logical and fitting.
Gao Zhongping looked up at the night outside the window. The flickering candlelight on the high table beside him made his worried face look vaguely vivid.
Gao Zhongping looked deeply under his thick eyebrows that looked like old pine trees. He said, "Go and see where the person is now. Bring him in."
After hearing this, the butler turned around and left without saying anything more.
At this moment, Gao Zhongping picked up the letter in his hand again, leaned close to the light, and began to read it with a gloomy face.
If what was said in the letter was true, then King Wei's act of stealing the sacred artifact by switching the dragon with the phoenix was a heinous crime that must be condemned by both humans and gods!
At this moment, Gao Zhongping was quickly thinking about the suspicious aspects of the government during this period.
Originally an old fox who had been in the officialdom for a long time and had experienced many battles, his mind was racing at this moment, and he had a vague idea of the reason.
Then the commotion by the students of the Imperial College the day before yesterday, as well as the previous rumors, were most likely caused by people sent by the King of Wei secretly fanning the flames and confusing right and wrong.
Gao Zhongping's eyes flickered beneath his dark green eyebrows, and he was filled with doubts.
After a while, the old butler led a young man in blue cloth into the hall and said softly, "Greetings, Mr. Gao."
Gao Zhongping took a look at him and saw that his facial features were ordinary. He was silent for a moment and asked loudly, "Who asked you to deliver this letter?"
The young man faced Gao Zhongping's gaze without fear, and said nonchalantly, "Why do you ask me this question when you already know the answer? My master's name is well-known to everyone in the government and the country."
Gao Zhongping frowned, but did not get angry. He shouted, "Where is your master now?"
"The entire Shenjing is looking for my master now. How can I tell you my master's whereabouts?" The young man said with a serious face.
Gao Zhongping remained silent for a moment, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he waved at the young man, signaling the servant to send him away.
Although the young man was very confused by Gao Zhongping's behavior, he still bowed politely and then quickly left the hall.
Gao Zhongping quickly stood up, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, a gloomy and uncertain look in his eyes.
If Prince Wei really did something to "make the most of a rare commodity" or even attempted to usurp the throne in the future, he would never sit idly by as he had received so much favor from Emperor Shizong Xian.

Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden, Qichi Garden
In the side room, in the evening, the candlelight flickered and the lights were bright and shining.
Jia Heng paused for a moment, then turned to look at the two girls with rosy cheeks and charming demeanor. His eyes were as cold as water, and he said, "Sister Lan, Sister Xier? Are you feeling better now?"
Zhen Lan's beautiful face was already covered with a layer of rosy red blush, and a hint of beauty could be seen flowing from her eyebrows and eyes. Her narrow, clear eyes were as bright as water, and there was some inexplicable meaning in her mind.
Zhen Lan nestled her beautiful head in the arms of the young man in the python costume, and there seemed to be a charming flow under her green eyebrows.
Zhen Lan Cuili raised her eyebrows, her eyes flickered, and said, "Your Highness, since there is no obstacle in the cabinet, then it should be no problem to select trusted people to fill the cabinet."
Jia Heng nodded and said gently, "I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly. Li Gao and the others are both very alert, so it won't be that easy."
He vaguely felt that things might not go so smoothly, or there might be other explanations.
In other words, from the moment he wanted to usurp the throne of Chen Han, he was destined to endure the misunderstanding of the world. Neither Zhen Qing nor Xian Ning would understand him.
Zhen Lan pressed her snow-white face against Jia Heng's hot chest, listening to the strong heartbeat of the young man in the python robe. There seemed to be a gleam of light in her cold and beautiful eyes.
When Brother Heng becomes emperor, she should be the queen.
Zhen Xi leaned her bright, rosy little face towards Jia Heng's arms. Under her beautiful emerald eyebrows, a hint of shyness inexplicably welled up in her sparkling eyes.
Jia Heng gently hugged Zhen Xi's smooth and round shoulders, with a dazed look on his face.
In the current Han Dynasty court, the "hatred" and vigilance of the civil officials towards him have probably reached their peak.
As Jia Heng pondered, he could feel the fullness flowing between his fingers and his hands as he put them inside her clothes. He moved closer and immediately pressed his hands against the beautiful woman's plump face, and he could feel the fragrance of her rouge and powder flowing between her teeth and cheeks.
Zhen Lan's eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm. She said, "Brother Heng, what are you thinking about?"
Jia Heng nodded, his bright eyes flickered, and he said, "The country has been established for a hundred years, and its luck has not yet run out. Especially since the Chongping New Deal, the country has become increasingly prosperous. It is a time when the people of the country are united and at peace. If you act rashly, you will only be backfired by your luck."
Zhen Xi's beautiful eyes sparkled under her two emerald eyebrows, and her eyes were as bright as water. She said softly, "Sister, you don't know what Brother Heng thinks, right?"
Jia Heng reached out and gently stroked Zhen Xi's soft shoulder, sighed, and said, "If she knew, she would have fought me to death a long time ago."
Mopan would never allow his son to lose the throne again. Even if it was him, if he dared to lay his hands on the throne, he was afraid that they would become enemies in the future.
Zhen Lan seemed to be able to sense the melancholy in Jia Heng's heart, and said softly, "It's not a big deal. When that day comes, my sister and I will try to persuade you."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
At this moment, Jia Heng did not know that a huge torrent was surging in the capital, brewing a huge conspiracy.
……
……
Time flies like water, and before I knew it, two days had passed.
The turmoil caused by the siege of Anshun Gate by the students of the Imperial College did not subside. Instead, it became more complicated because a cabinet minister and a civil official were implicated.
On this day, the sky was inexplicably gloomy above the boundless blue sky, and the summer rain was pouring down, "crackling" on the blue brick and black tile houses. The rain trickled down and flowed down along the dark blue eaves tiles.
The tree with lush branches and leaves in the southwest corner of the courtyard is swaying in the cold wind. As the breeze blows, the leaves become greener and more lush.
Shenjing City, Wei Wang's Residence
The King of Wei was wearing a plain white dragon robe and a rhinoceros horn and white jade belt around his waist. He was sitting in a study.
It was evening, the light was dim, and a candle had been lit on the high table. The flickering candlelight shone on the shadowy face of the King of Wei, with a jade hairband wrapped around his forehead.
On that pale and decayed face, there was a look of shock. He read the letter in his hand again and again, and felt his arms trembling violently.
incredible!
This is also a letter from Chen Yuan, which records the speculation that Jia Heng had tarnished the royal bloodline and the accusation of Jia Heng's ambitious ambition.
Among them, using the twins as a clue, Li Wan's previous birth of twins was associated with the twins born to Queen Song and Zhen Qing.
The King of Wei's expression changed constantly, his sinister and cold eyes were filled with shock, and he murmured, "How could my mother ..."
It can be said that the King of Wei really couldn't believe that his mother, who was always holy and kind in his eyes, had an affair with Jia Heng, who was much younger than him, and even gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
"Impossible, this is slander!" The King of Wei put down the letter in his hand and slammed the wooden table in front of him. His handsome, fair face was almost distorted.
How could Jia Ziyu be with his mother... Is he worthy of Xianning? Is he worthy of his father?
The first thought in the King of Wei's mind was disbelief, but the reasons listed above were well-founded and linked together.
Especially since the widow of the Jia family was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Twins are so rare, how could everyone be pregnant with them?
Jia Ziyu has always been a romantic and passionate man. Needless to say, the twins born to the widow were most likely Jia Ziyu's.
There is also the story that Jia Ziyu and his mother went south together to return home, where they encountered danger, and then the two of them were alone together for about a day.
After a while, the King of Wei gradually calmed down, and a hint of cold light could be seen flashing in his eyes.
His fists were clenched so tightly that the knuckles were turning white, and his facial features were distorted.
No matter what, since Chen Yuan is willing to rescue him from this cage, he will use his power to turn the situation around.
It can be said that the King of Wei's heart, which had been somewhat dead, suddenly began to burn again.
At this moment, the nanny walked quickly into the study and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Wei is here."
As they were talking, a beautiful lady in a sky blue dress appeared. Under her elegant and beautiful bun was a face with a gentle and lovely look.
Although Wei Qi, Marquis of Runan, was temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's Tianlao for the crime of treason, Concubine Wei was not implicated in the slightest, but stayed in the Prince of Wei's mansion to take care of the Prince of Wei.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time for dinner." The beautiful woman's graceful and clear eyebrows and eyes were soft and rippled, and her plump and bright face showed a hint of brightness.
The King of Wei said, "Princess, please go back first. I have other things to take care of here."
The beauty's face dimmed a little, she said "hmm", and then left the hall.
The King of Wei stood up and paced back and forth in the study, his face showing a look of madness and ecstasy at turns.
If Chen Yuan rescued him, then he could raise the banner of supporting the king locally and the situation would be resolved.
The capital city has become the base camp of the King Wei, and he has no chance of gaining any advantage in the capital city.
Regardless of whether what Chen Yuan said was true or false, he would take advantage of this favorable situation and make a complete comeback!
Shenjing City, Mansion
Chen Yuan, dressed in a blue shirt and straight robe, stood under the window, looking out at the misty rain outside with a distant expression, and asked, "Has the King of Wei agreed?"
Ruan Yongde nodded and said in a gentle voice: "This is the only way for the King of Wei to survive now, so there is no way he will refuse."
Chen Yuan said: "The rest depends on Gao Zhongping. If he is determined, I can go to Bashu and raise the banner of rebellion in the next one or two years to fight against Jia Ni and support the country!"
Ruan Yongde said: "The court plans to conquer Khoshut and Dzungar in the next two years. After you arrive in Sichuan, you should contact the two places. If you can stir up chaos in the northwest and Tibet, then you can destroy several provinces. Only by gathering the strength of many parties can we resist the attack of the brave and powerful Shenjing City."
Chen Yuan said: "Now the soldiers of the Beijing camp are mostly veterans who have fought many battles and are very brave. If we start a rebellion in Sichuan and other places alone, it will be difficult to resist the suppression of the Beijing camp army. We need to contact troops from many places to fight against the court together."
Ruan Yongde nodded and bowed in response.
