Chapter 1424: Changsun Shangshu was poked into the mind
Of course, Chu Suiliang had suspected other people, but he found no evidence.
So what if you doubt it?
Moreover, he had never seen Jiang Siye appear here. Is he really tied up here?
It's just that he Chu Suiliang is suspicious.
As for Jiang Siye’s so-called descendants, Chu Suiliang is even more unaware of it.
"I have been locked up here for so many days, and I have not seen anyone except the people who come to deliver meals every day."
"Jiang Siye has never been here, so I don't know if there is anyone behind him and who that person is." Jiang Siye shook his head and said.
Fang Xuanling frowned. He originally wanted to ask Jiang Siye about the people behind the scenes.
Now it seems that there is no clue at all.
"It's time to eat." A voice suddenly came from outside. Under the illumination of torches, a man wrapped in a black robe walked in.
He was also holding a lunch box.
"Who are you?"
"Why should we be arrested?" Wei Zheng asked the man in front of him.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm bringing you food. Do you like it or not?" The man was very impatient.
Throw the lunch box on the ground, then turn around and leave.
Wei Zheng was angry, but he had no way to deal with the man.
They were locked up here at this moment, and they were in a desperate situation.
Wei Zheng is now thinking that Cheng Yaojin and they promised that they would definitely ensure their safety, but what is Cheng Yaojin doing now?
...
"General, there is news." Cheng Yaojin was waiting for his subordinates to hear news.
The next day he ran over and reported to Cheng Yaojin.
"Say." Cheng Yaojin just said one word.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had been arrested as agreed before.
Then Cheng Yaojin has to find a way to ensure the safety of the two.
If something happens, Cheng Yaojin can't explain it.
"Wei Xiang and Fang Xiang are now locked in a house in the north of the city, where there is a dungeon and there are more than a dozen people guarding it." The general reported to Cheng Yaojin.
Yesterday they had been sending people to follow Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, so they were also clear about where the two were tied up.
The general came to report to Cheng Yaojin after he figured out the situation there.
"General, should we send someone to rescue Wei Xiang and Fang Xiang immediately?" After saying that, the side general asked Cheng Yaojin again.
Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "No need for now. You send someone to keep an eye on the place. You must ensure the safety of both of you."
If Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were rescued now, wouldn’t their previous plan be ruined?
Isn’t it because I agreed to Jiang Siye’s invitation with great fanfare?
Now we can only temporarily aggrieved the two of them and quietly wait for the people behind the scenes to take action.
Although I don’t quite understand the significance of Cheng Yaojin doing this.
But he still chose to nod and was about to leave, but was stopped by Cheng Yaojin.
"In recent times, the soldiers have cheered up."
A word without beginning or end will make the deviant general confused.
He responded and left the government office.
Cheng Yaojin sat on the stool, thinking about what happened in Chang'an these days, and thought to himself that the person behind the scenes should take action recently.
...
Two days later, the entire Chang'an was searched, but no trace of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling was found.
The two were appointed as candidates for government management by the emperor, and they are both missing now, which really makes all officials not know what to do.
In Tai Chi Hall, all the ministers were listless.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were not found, and the officials seemed to have lost their leader.
There is no structure in these two days and six departments.
Everyone was worried.
This court meeting was another time that no one presided over.
"Everyone, don't be so discouraged." Changsun Wuji spoke and said to all officials.
But all officials did not buy his account, nor did they look at him.
Changsun Wuji couldn't hold back his face, and squeezed out a smile and said, "We are all worried about the disappearance of Wei Xiang and Fang Xiang."
"But the people sent by Jingzhao Prefecture to look for have never stopped."
"I believe that in the near future, we will definitely find Wei Xiang and Fang Xiang."
"But Your Majesty is now far away in Qizhou. If there is no one in Chang'an, he will definitely be in trouble."
"I still suggest that everyone should be selected for the time being and preside over the major events in the court."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he was glared by all officials.
Changsun Wuji said this undoubtedly because he wanted to tell all officials that he wanted to temporarily preside over major events in the court.
But thinking that Changsun Wuji excused Jiang Siye yesterday, all the officials couldn't believe him.
"Even if you have to choose someone to preside over the court for the time being, it's not your turn to Shangshu Changsun."
"That's right, Changsun Shangshu excused the suspect Jiang Siye yesterday. Maybe you are the same group."
"It is very likely that you plotted to tie up Wei Xiang and Fang Xiang, and then take the opportunity to take charge of the court."
"Shangshu Changsun, what a great ambition."
"I don't know what Changsun Shangshu wants to do!"
In the Tai Chi Hall, all the officials were sneering, and Changsun Wuji looked extremely ugly.
"Okay, Changsun Shangshu is also considering the overall situation, and we did not have any evidence to prove Jiang Siye yesterday."
"The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have not found any evidence that it was done by Jiang Siye."
"The current top priority is still as Changsun Shangshu said, and the candidates who temporarily preside over the court should be selected."
"Shangshu Changsun is His Majesty's most capable assistant. He is familiar with the affairs of the court. I hope he can temporarily preside over the court." Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, suddenly spoke, calming the noisy court.
Li Xiaogong recommended Changsun Wuji to temporarily preside over the court affairs, which was unexpected by all officials.
In the past, Li Xiaogong never participated in discussing such things.
But the officials could not accept Changsun Wuji's temporary presidency.
Changsun Wuji's previous image has never been positive.
What's more, what happened the day before yesterday made all officials suspect Changsun Wuji.
"Absolutely not possible, Changsun Shangshu must not preside over the court."
"Did you forget that he and Li Tai were in charge of the court before, and then almost destroyed the Tang Dynasty?" An official spoke.
Changsun Wuji was furious in an instant, pulled out the jade pendant from his waist and smashed it hard at the talking official.
The official was not smashed, but the jade pendant was broken all over the floor.
"Look at me, Shangshu Changsun was touched by the officials and was now furious."
"You dare to let him preside over the court like this?" the official shouted to the officials in the back row.
Changsun Wuji was held tightly by Li Xiaogong. No matter how hard he struggled, there was no trace of breaking free.
If it weren't for being held back, Changsun Wuji would have to rush over and kill the official who was talking to him.
But the more Changsun Wuji did this, the more the officials felt that he was guilty.
Changsun Wuji stood dejectedly, but the officials did not look at him. The most important thing now is to think of a person who can temporarily preside over the court.
