Chapter 250: No blood in the blade
King Xiang naturally rejected Cai Yan's proposal. The reason was very simple. Even if the legitimate is gone, at least there is a eldest son. That is King Yu. In terms of seniority, it is not the turn of King Xiang. How many ministers present really believe in King Xiang's refusal? After all, King Yu is just a prisoner in the hands of King Xiang. Once it is proved that he is involved in poisoning Emperor Liang, even if he is spared from death, he will definitely have no chance to inherit the throne.
That's right, King Xiang thought so in his heart, and getting rid of King Yu was the last thing to do. Just two days later, the Imperial Hospital sent a survey on the ash powder in the incense burner that was found from Qingzhi Palace. The investigation confirmed that the residual incense burner was musk scale fragrance, and the content was quite large.
"The fourth brother turned out to be the person behind the scenes. This really surprised me! I already have such an older brother, and I can't bear the pain of losing my closest relative..."
King Xiang covered his chest and looked in pain. Among the people present, Chen Yuanzhen, Zhang Huaiyuan, Chen Qianji and Cai Quan and his son knew how to continue to cooperate with King Xiang's performance. Some people suggested that they should immediately be punished, but some people still maintained different opinions. Chen Qianji and Cai Quan held such opinions.
The first person to speak was Chen Qianji, "Your Highness, even if you can prove that Concubine Du lit incense and poisoned the emperor, you cannot be directly involved with King Yu. The mother's sins may not necessarily be borne by her son. At that time, Concubine Du chose to take on everything herself in order to protect King Yu, so King Yu would at most be at fault."
"Yes, Your Highness, there will definitely be court officials to excuse King Yu at that time. Liao Zhen is the first one. In addition to him, there are some ministers from Qingshan Academy. Once they join forces, it will not be easy to punish King Yu forcibly." Cai Quan gave a more detailed explanation.
King Xiang's face still did not change, and hesitantly asked the two of them, saying, "Once the Fourth Brother leaves the capital, I will no longer be able to control him. Let's talk about how to lure fire from Concubine Du to him?"
Everyone did not reply immediately. Cai Yan scratched his head and couldn't even figure out the relationship between the two, let alone find a way to get rid of King Yu. As for Zhang Huaiyuan and Chen Yuanzhen, they were good at playing some conspiracies, but unfortunately they still lacked the timing of controlling the overall situation. Cai Quan is an old fox. When should he speak, when should he express his opinion, and when to give the right to speak to others, he felt clearly in his heart.
In the end, Chen Qianji spoke, "We must use the incense to defeat King Yu in one fell swoop. Keeping him will definitely cause endless troubles! Weichen believes that the emperor's funeral is the best opportunity. At that time, let King Yu and Concubine Du participate in the funeral ceremony, and then announce Concubine Du's crime in front of all officials. Next, some helpers will be needed."
King Xiang's eyes lit up. He sat up straight and began to ask with interest, "Qianji, if you have something to say, please make it clear at once. Don't delay it. We are the only ones in this hall."
"Yes, Your Highness Xiang! I need to ask Eunuch Chen for help in the next step."
"How? If you need old slave, you must do your best!"
"There are also some soldiers of the Ping'an Army in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Ye Rongxuan, who was rescued by Your Highness, was activated. Cao Zijing is dead, and there are His Highness's people in the Ministry of War. It is not a problem to call the military uniforms of the Xuanjia Army that were originally stored. It is also a matter of being killed by those Ping'an Army who should have participated in a show of saviors."
"Okay! OK!" King Xiang stood up excitedly and walked to Chen Qianji's side, unable to stop praising him, "Qianji, I thought you were also a rare talent at the beginning, but I didn't know that you had such vicious thoughts! I really chose the right person, but Qianji, don't keep those people in your Dali Temple Prison."
"Your Highness, they are still useful and cannot be erased easily."
"What? Haven't they already provided their confessions? What else can they do?"
"Your Highness, they are all from Qingshan Academy. Isn't your highness afraid of Qingshan Academy? They can use them to eliminate Qingshan Academy in one fell swoop, and there will be no one who regards himself as a sage to oppose Your Highness to accomplish great things in the future! A mere academy, after Your Highness inherits the throne, you can rebuild a new academy that obeys Your Highness!"
King Xiang's eyes widened. If he had just lamented Chen Qianji's strategy, then he really admired Chen Qianji's overall view of the situation. He even thought about the problems he encountered after ascending the throne in the future and after ascending the throne.
"Qianji, Qianji, I really feel like a tiger with you!" King Xiang couldn't help but take Chen Qianji's shoulder and humbly asked: "How do you plan to use those three people to deal with Qingshan Academy?"
"Qingshan Academy will definitely not give up on them easily. You just need to release the news and say that these three people are extremely guilty and need to be executed on the day the emperor's funeral. Then Qingshan Academy will definitely rescue them. Rescuing some death row prisoners who poisoned the emperor, Qingshan Academy is obviously against the court! Moreover, Qingshan Academy and King Yu's mercy became a fact, and no one can get rid of it!"
"Qianji, a mere Dali Temple Chief really makes you feel wronged. After the big thing is completed, it will be the time for you to rise to the top!"
"I thank you for your highness! It is my blessing in this life for you to be appreciated by you. I will do my best to help you clear all obstacles!"
Cai Quan looked at Chen Qianji and said to King Xiang: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness, if you have a capable general like Lord Shen, great things will definitely be accomplished! I am old and still need a rising star like Lord Shen to assist the new king!"
"Hey, why did Cai Xiang say this? Cai Xiang worked hard and made great contributions. Qian Ji was young after all, so there were still many things that needed to ask Cai Xiang for advice! Yes, Qian Ji?"
Chen Qianji immediately bowed to Cai Quan and said modestly: "It's all the Wei ministers who are too arrogant just now. Please forgive me! Wei ministers are young and have far less experience in politics than Cai Quan. I still need to learn from Cai Xiangduo in the future!"
Although Cai Yan, who was standing aside, has not yet figured out what Chen Qianji said, how could he be appreciated by King Xiang in just a few words? But one thing is certain, that is, he is very dissatisfied with Chen Qianji. In terms of age and qualifications in the court, why can he be so majestic in front of King Xiang? What made Cai Yan even more dissatisfied was that Chen Qianji dared to replace his father? Give you some color and you dare to open a dyeing workshop!
"Your Highness!"
Before Cai Yan could say anything, the first thing he saw was the warning gaze that Cai Quan cast. The meaning of this gaze was very obvious: You should avoid getting involved!
"Huh?" King Xiang turned his head and looked at Cai Yan. Cai Yan swallowed his saliva and had to change his verbal words. "Wei Chen... Wei Chen also thinks that Lord Shen's plan is perfect."
"There is no perfect thing in the world. All of this requires careful planning to ensure that there is no mistake in every link. At the same time, you also need to cooperate with each other." Chen Qianji hurriedly lowered his attitude, and King Xiang was also quite satisfied with this.
In the eyes of King Xiang, Cai Yan's words were just nonsense. He was too lazy to pay attention to Cai Yan at this time, and it was entirely for Cai Quan's sake before.
"Qian Ji is right. This link is inseparable and requires mutual cooperation. The day of the father's funeral is when we take action to get rid of all obstacles. This palace will never allow any mistakes!"
King Xiang said it firmly, and everyone around him lowered his head and expressed his opinion. Then King Xiang gave an order that made Cai Quan and his son very dissatisfied.
"From today on all the arrangements you will have to obey Qianji, and he will make the unified plan. You will cooperate with them with all your strength. If there is any problem with any of the links, I will definitely not let you go!"
"Yes, I will obey the order!"
Leaving Linzhi Palace, Chen Qianji was full of energy and walked out of the palace in a breeze. Chen Yuanzhen said goodbye to several ministers outside the palace, and at the same time he did not forget to add, "I am old, and I have to rely on Lord Shen to play conspiracies."
The more Cai Yan thought about it, he became more and more angry, so he complained to Cai Quan: "Father, you are the prime minister! Look at Chen Qianji's proud look! The mere Dali Temple Chief is not satisfied? He still wants to replace your position as father? I am delusional!"
"Shut up!" Cai Quan scolded: "This is still in the palace. Are you planning to let all these complaints come into the ears of His Highness Xiang? You are not good at your own strength and blame others? If you have half of Chen Qianji's ability, can I work so hard!"
