Chapter 476 The Death of Wu Meiniang

"I know." Lu Chenglie's face flashed with a trace of struggle. On one side was his true love, and on the other side was the country, the country, and the alluring throne. If Lu Chenglie had no peeps at the throne, then

It's false. It's just that he is already the prince now, and he is only one step away from that position. Not only does the emperor trust him, but more importantly, the emperor is very powerful, so he can only be the prince without the emperor's permission.

, he can only be his son, not the emperor. Not the emperor, everything is given by the emperor, and he can take it back if he wants to. Although the prince looks extremely noble, in fact, life and death are controlled by others.

Thinking about it, this is also the reason why some people in the past dynasties still want to rebel after becoming princes. To be more thorough, some of these people are greedy for profit, but most of them are out of helplessness and for self-protection.

decisions made.

"Your Highness, in fact, after leaving today, I, Cen Wenwen and others believe that behind Wu Meiniang is probably not as simple as a warrior wok, there may be other people involved in it." Changsun Wuji thought for a while

, said in a low voice: "Wu Meiniang is definitely not a figure that the Samurai Wok and the Yang family can cultivate. Behind her, it is definitely not as simple as this. Your Highness, it is not unreasonable for His Majesty to ask His Highness to leave Wu Meiniang. On the one hand,

It is really inappropriate for a woman with such a deep scheming mind to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince. Secondly, I am afraid that Your Majesty also suspects that there is someone else behind Wu Meiniang who is carrying out an ulterior secret."

"Shut up." Lu Chenglie's expression suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Master Changsun, there are some things you can't just pick up and say. Although Wu Meiniang is very scheming, she is definitely not that kind of person. How can a woman be the emperor?

It can be done, uncle, do you believe this?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head. He didn't believe this either, but it was not his intention to let Wu Meiniang leave Lu Chenglie, but the emperor's. In the Tang Dynasty, no one could change the emperor's decision. Yes, the emperor was good at accepting advice.

Wei Zheng offended the emperor several times, but he still served as his auxiliary minister in the Xuande Palace. However, this matter related to Jiangshan Sheji, who dared to dissuade him. Anyone who dared to dissuade was working against Jiangshan Sheji, and was treason and colluding with the rebels.

The thieves are plotting rebellion. Therefore, in the past dynasties, no one dared to plead guilty to killing someone, that is rebellion. In the Sui Dynasty, hundreds of members of Li Hong's family were killed. Everyone knew that it was unjust and was to eliminate Li Hong.

The power of the family, but the excuse of the other party is too strong. A single crime of rebellion can decide everything and kill all the Li family. This makes all the Li family in the world frightened. Everyone is cautious and dare not speak.

Isn't this also the case today if he doesn't dare to dissuade? Look at Wei Zheng, who likes to confront the emperor the most. He didn't speak this time. He clearly knew that a woman becoming an emperor is a very ridiculous idea, but he didn't dare to dissuade him.

, because this topic is too sensitive, no one can guarantee that there is something behind it. If it is a conspiracy, I am afraid that even my life and fortune will be ruined on the execution ground. Although Changsun Wuji also hopes to pass

Support Wu Meiniang so that the Changsun family can be protected after her death. However, at this time, she can only persist in her opposition.

"Your Highness, just pretend that there is no such woman." Changsun Wuji sighed softly and said: "Cen Wenwen, Wang Gui and others all believe that there must be someone behind Wu Meiniang. I am afraid that people have been sent to investigate at this moment. According to Jin Yiwei

With the ability, it will definitely be very easy to find out about this matter. His Highness will soon learn the news. The old minister also wants to know who is standing behind Wu Meiniang, who actually brought us to the civil and military capital.

There is a conspiracy involved, this person is terrible." The implication is that there must be someone behind Wu Meiniang, and there is no need to even check.

"Lord Changsun, are you sure there is really someone behind Wu Meiniang's actions?" Lu Chenglie's handsome face was blushing with embarrassment, and he didn't know whether he was angry with Wu Meiniang or Changsun Wuji's attitude.

"This, this, should be like this." Changsun Wuji couldn't answer, because he didn't know what the progress of Jin Yiwei was now. He could only guess out of thin air that there was someone behind Wu Meiniang. Besides, even if there was no one, Wu Meiniang was

He was destined to die. There was no need for any investigation. The reason for the investigation was just to give an explanation to others and to hide their eyes. Changsun Wuji never thought that Lu Chenglie would have such a big reaction.

"Huh huh, does Mr. Changsun do this to be suspicious of human life?" Lu Chenglie snorted coldly. There was an unspeakable sarcasm in his words.

Changsun Wuji's face turned red when he heard this, and his brows wrinkled slightly. Even if others knew about such a scene, they wouldn't say anything, so why be so serious about it?

"Father, father." At this moment, Chang Sun Chong's panicked voice came from outside the door again. Then even the study door was knocked open, and Chang Sun Chong looked panicked and barged in.

"How dignified are you, get out of here." Changsun Wuji, who was feeling aggrieved by Lu Chenglie, saw this, pointed at Changsun Chong and shouted.

"Father, Helan's house was burned down." But at this time, Changsun Chong ignored his father's angry expression and said in a panic: "The government officials in Wannian County are putting out the fire."

"Mei Niang?" Lu Chenglie's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Changsun Wuji, his eyes full of anger, and coldly snorted: "Is this a good thing you did?"

"No, no, Your Highness, you have misunderstood." Changsun Wuji realized what his son was talking about, his expression changed, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, this kind of thing is definitely not the work of this minister.

"

"Huh?" How could Lu Chenglie believe Changsun Wuji's words at this time? He rolled his sleeves with a cold snort and said to Changsun Chong: "Lead the way to Helan Mansion." After that, he rushed out.

"Yes, yes." Changsun Chong looked at Lu Chenglie's livid face. How dare he stay here? He hurriedly ran away and ordered people to prepare the carriage without mentioning it. When Changsun Wuji saw this, he did not dare to stay.

Following closely behind, he rushed towards Helan's house, and this matter became a big deal.

If he could get evidence of Wu Meiniang's rebellion, even if Wu Meiniang was killed at this time, even if Lu Chenglie was unhappy, he would not be so rude. However, he did not get the evidence of Wu Meiniang's rebellion at all. This is one, and the other is that he

Just now, he said he wanted to kill Wu Meiniang, but this is just yellow mud falling into his crotch, which is either shit or shit. It is difficult to explain why Changsun Wuji has a hundred mouths. He can only take one step at a time.

When Changsun Wuji arrived at the scene, he found that the fire was raging into the sky. Many officers and soldiers had gathered outside the mansion. Several officials in purple official robes were standing there, and Lu Chenglie had an anxious look on his face.

He was constantly urging something, but the raging fire ignited and enveloped the entire Helan Mansion, making it impossible to survive.

"Master Cen, are you here too?" Changsun Wuji showed a wry smile, walked gently to Cen Wenwen, raised his hands and whispered.

"This is not going to be good." Cen Wenwen also had a bitter look on his face. Everything was beyond his expectation. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he started taking action, such news came out over there.

Come on, Helan Mansion was actually set on fire. Wu Meiniang is still in the sea of ​​​​fire, and she doesn’t know what the situation is. However, the chance of survival is simply impossible. This time, Cen Wenwen and others are even more passive

.

"How is the situation?" Changsun Wuji asked gently.

"The guest room of the Helan family was burned down. I heard that both Wu Meiniang and Yang were resting in the guest room." Cen Wenwen sighed deeply and said, "The house suddenly caught fire and it was out of control. Everyone in the Helan family couldn't even save them.

It was too late, it was obviously someone who did it on purpose. He acted decisively and quickly, and he was very well-informed. As soon as he discovered something was wrong, he immediately took action and decisively abandoned Wu Meiniang, interrupting our clues and unable to trace anything at all."

"Is there any news from Jinyiwei?" At this time, Wang Gui and others also came over, with solemn expressions, and asked softly.

"After Lu Qingyun, many news in Jinyiwei disappeared without a trace. Although Qin Jiudao, in charge of Jinyiwei, has recovered a lot, some things are still unsearchable." Cen Wenwen frowned, shook his head, and said: "

At the very least, it will be difficult to find out clearly what is happening about Wu Meiniang."

"In this case, the prince hates us." Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and recounted the conversation he had with the prince in his study room just now, making everyone frown.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a smart man. As long as we make it clear, His Highness will not care about it. This matter in front of us is obviously premeditated, and it is targeted at His Highness the Crown Prince and a few of us. The other party used the Crown Prince to attack Wu Meiniang.

Emotions, alienating the relationship between our monarchs and ministers. More importantly, from now on, they will turn to the dark side and continue to create troubles to achieve their goals." Wang Gui shook his head and coldly snorted: "I'm in the dark

, the enemy is in the dark, we can only deal with it passively, I am afraid the situation is very unfavorable to us. So I think that at this time, we should take the initiative, and on the one hand, order the Jin Yiwei to monitor the Helan family. Hum, the Helan family is okay

It is also one of the aristocratic families. The home is heavily guarded. How could someone sneak in without knowing it? The guest room was burned down and there was no time to save it. There was only one possibility, that is, someone poured kerosene on the fire.

The smell of oil is strong, how could others not know it, but the Helan family just said they didn't know, which is obviously a problem. On the other hand, there are various city gates. After these people commit crimes, they will definitely leave Chang'an, and various cities

Check carefully at the door and don’t let anyone go.”

"This is the only way it can be." Cen Wenwen thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Let the Yamen ask the people in the house to see if any strangers have come to Helan's house recently. Maybe we can get some information."

A little clue might be possible."

"Sir, what do you want to say now?" At this time, Lu Chenglie came over and saw that his face was calm, as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were cold and ruthless, which made everyone's expressions change.

, but I don’t know what to say. The prince in front of me is as cold as ice, but it can be imagined that Lu Chenglie’s heart is far from being as calm as now. I am afraid that he has already been ignited with raging anger. It’s just a few people in front of him.

, his status was too special, he was the Assistant Minister of Xuande Hall, even Lu Chenglie couldn't get angry in front of them, he could only look at them with cold eyes.

"Your Highness, this matter is really not the fault of this minister." The modest look on Cen Wenwen's face turned into a bitter smile. This matter was really hard to explain, so he could only hold up his hands and said: "Your Highness, this minister wanted to kill someone.

, Why use this method? As long as I say a casual word, many people will accuse Wu Meiniang of killing Wu Meiniang. There is no need to do it in such a big way and alarm His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hmph, I will be keeping an eye on this matter. I hope the adults can give me an answer soon." Lu Chenglie glanced at everyone and saw that the other person was looking at him without hesitation, his eyes were calm and there was no dodge.

, he still believed in these people. After calming down, Lu Chenglie obviously discovered the problem. Since they were all guilty of Luo Zhi, there was no need to be so anxious. What's more, without the consent of the emperor, how could Lu Chenglie hope to marry Wu Meiniang?

Entering the palace is also impossible. These ministers don't need to worry at all.

"I understand." Cen Wenwen and others could only nod in agreement, with a hint of bitterness in their voices. At this time, everyone could only reluctantly agree.

"Do you think Wu Meiniang did it herself? Or is there someone else? Is the Helan family suspected?" Lu Chenglie turned around, clasping his hands behind his back, and asked calmly. After all, it was carefully taught by Lu Zhaoci and others.

The characters who came out also felt the problem after calming down, so they frowned and asked.

"It's hard to judge now." Cen Wenwen thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "This does not rule out Wu Meiniang's own idea, but it is also possible that Wu Meiniang was also used by others, and the other party took advantage of this.

This kind of opportunity can cause discord between the emperor and his ministers. Secondly, it can also turn light into darkness and prevent us from catching each other. This is all possible. If you want to see what happens, I am afraid you can only wait until the fire

We won’t know until it’s destroyed. At that time, we will naturally conduct inspections and let people from the Ministry of Punishment investigate and find out.”

"Well, I understand." Lu Chenglie nodded, looking at Helan Mansion with a trace of memories and a trace of sadness in his eyes. He knew that from now on, the name Wu Meiniang would only appear in his dreams.

"Your Highness, it's better to go back here and there are ministers waiting here." Seeing this, Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart and said: "It's enough to have this memory. You are the prince, you should concentrate on state affairs in the future."

"Haogu is going back to the palace first." Lu Chenglie nodded, and did not insist anymore, but nodded and said: "Uncle, we must find out whether Wu Meiniang is really dead or faked. There is one more thing, let's see

See if there is someone behind her, we need to find out about this matter." Lu Chenglie finally said through gritted teeth. There is as much hate as there is love, and the same is true for Lu Chenglie. I think he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he may be played by others.

On top of the applause, it was difficult for him to endure this. More importantly, this woman may be the first time he had true feelings for her, but in the end it ended like this, which severely challenged his self-esteem.

If Wu Meiniang was in front of Lu Chenglie at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to help asking about this matter now.

"I accept the order." Changsun Wuji and others said quickly. As long as he is taken away, any questions can be answered. God knows if there are any assassins here. From the incident of Wu Meiniang, it seems that there are enemies hiding in the dark.

They are not simple things. These people are well-informed and well-calculated. They are not simple things. If they take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an City and suddenly give the prince such a blow, I am afraid that Cen Wenwen and others will even have the thought of crying.

The prince was assassinated, and we didn’t know what kind of commotion there would be. So as long as Lu Chenglie leaves here, everyone can handle the matter with peace of mind and solve the matter perfectly. What makes everyone very relieved is that Lu Chenglie is obviously not here.

After staying for a long time, they were soon escorted by several guards and returned to the palace. Only then did everyone sigh deeply.

"Master Chief Assistant, what do you think?" Changsun Wuji glanced at Cen Wenwen.

"We'll talk about it later." Cen Wenwen frowned and said, "Auxiliary machine, if nothing else happens, we will be in trouble this time. The other party has been able to tolerate it until now, while His Majesty is commanding the army to go on the expedition.

There must be something wrong with sending Wu Meiniang to Chang'an. Unfortunately, because of His Highness the Crown Prince, Wu Meiniang couldn't be caught. Otherwise, he would definitely know the secret. Hum, you are a little too courageous.

He actually set his target on the prince. If not for His Majesty’s discernment, I’m afraid the prince would have fallen deeper into trouble, and we would definitely be the unlucky ones in the end.”

"There are only two types of people with such ulterior motives. One is the remnant of the former Sui Dynasty, and the other is the former Li Dynasty." Wang Gui's eyes flashed with cold light. To be honest, he is the most depressed person now. You know,

He was the most involved in this matter. Even when Wu Mei Niang met the prince, he played a key role in it. This also shows that Wang Gui is also in the other party's calculations. This makes him not angry. Once word spreads

If he goes out, Wang Gui's reputation will be ruined. How can he gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty? At this moment, he can't wait to find the people behind it immediately and cut them into pieces to vent his anger.
