Shen Chen and Young Master Lin had both let slip some information before, and it seemed that Prince Linjiang was about to take action.
Wei An initially thought that the salt administration deficit case was the work of Prince Linjiang - mobilizing such a large group of people, wasn't the purpose to uncover Prince Duan who was behind it
But in the end, Prince Duan was fine.
This is not the style of King Linjiang.
These people either don't take action, or once they do, they will definitely not leave any trouble behind. How could they possibly keep Prince Duan around and give him a chance to bite back in the future
King Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this. He glanced at her and asked her, "Do you still need to ask me about this? If either Lin San or Shen Chen reveals a little, you will be able to guess it."
Old Madam Wei had long told him about Wei An's intelligence. Step by step, he realized that Wei An was different from ordinary people. She was more careful and thoughtful in handling things than adults. If these were not surprising, then her perspective on court affairs was indeed worth wondering.
But he didn't ask much.
After all, Wei An is his daughter. No matter what, no matter what others think, he has to insist that his daughter is just smart, and he can only say this to everyone.
Wei An knew what he meant, smiled and asked, "Father, have you met He Sheng?"
"Yes." It took nearly a year for King Zheng to call her father. Now, he couldn't help but feel comfortable when he heard it. He smiled and answered. He personally filled the teacup for Mrs. Wei who had been silent the whole time. "He Sheng followed your instructions and reminded me to stay away from the Fang family and these things."
Old Madam Wei looked at the two of them and shook her head: "I don't know how this matter will end."
I'm afraid that Prince Linjiang's target has never been just Prince Duan.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy for Prince Duan to go to the Fang family and ask them to help collect the money? How could it be possible that Prince Linjiang didn't stop him at all
But Mrs. Wei still couldn't figure it out. She looked at the flickering candlelight in front of her, full of doubts: "Prince Linjiang, what exactly do you want?"
What do you want
None of these people are without ambition, it’s just a matter of who has more powerful means.
When Prince Duan pushed the censor forward and made the censor insist that it was Prince Duan who ordered him to ask, he knew what would happen to Prince Linjiang's family if Emperor Longqing believed it, but he still did it.
Then he couldn't blame Prince Linjiang for fighting back.
Originally, King Linjiang was not someone who could swallow his anger.
If he really could, he would not have rebelled in his previous life.
Wei An sighed and looked at King Zheng. Seeing that King Zheng was also looking at him, he lowered his head and said, "Probably... ..it's with that person."
She pointed to the moon in the sky and saw that both Old Lady Wei and King Zheng had frosty faces, so she let out a sigh of relief.
Empress Fang gave birth to Emperor Longqing's only son.
King Linjiang was ambitious by nature.
Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang pressed him step by step. Even though he was careful in his words and actions, they would not let him go, finding fault with him everywhere and hindering him at every turn. Prince Linjiang tried his best to pretend to be a good person, but Emperor Longqing still became suspicious of him because of the censor recommended by Prince Duan, making the people in the Prince Linjiang's mansion behave in a cowardly manner from top to bottom.
Plus, Li Gui Niang who repeatedly wanted to get her into the Linjiang Palace...
Prince Linjiang must have been holding his breath for a long time.
Yin and Yang, sun and moon, who the moon refers to is self-evident. Old Lady Wei took a look and then looked away, smiled sarcastically, and asked again: "How can you move it so easily?"
Of course not in normal times.
That's why Prince Linjiang took such a big detour.
Wei An gently held the cup in his hand, looked at the steam coming out of it, paused and said: "It's not something that happens overnight. This is really like cutting meat with a blunt knife. In the past, the Queen was naturally good in front of the emperor. That's because although there was a playboy Fang Zhengrong in her family who made jokes from time to time, there was nothing wrong with other people."
The tea leaves in the cup floated up and down. Wei An watched them floating up and down inside and blew on them again. "But when she gave birth to a son, the first thing she did was to take this son to ask the emperor for something for her family. The emperor would inevitably think a little more."
How can it be as simple as just thinking a little more
No matter how important Queen Fang was, she was not as important as his son and his kingdom.
What's more, the Fang family is so stupid that they are actually fearless, thinking that the prince carries the blood of the Fang family, and from now on the Fang family will be able to stand firm under the protection of this prince.
They were so confident that they dared to plead for the prince when the prince was still in his cradle.
What did this mean in the eyes of Emperor Longqing
As members of the royal family, they know how to use the prince to seek benefits at such a young age. When his son grows up, he will definitely ask for more and reach out further. How can His Majesty tolerate this
As subjects, they dared to accept the benefits of the vassal king and speak for him - the vassal king was greedy for his money! This world is his world!
Both of these things violated his taboos.
Even if we compare favors, there is a new Concubine De, and there is also Concubine Lin Shu, who has been low-key but has never been heard of being on the bench.
Prince Zheng glanced at Wei An and finally spoke: "Prince Duan gave the Fang family more than two million taels of silver, as well as farm deeds, shops and villas in Jinling and Jiangsu... Even if it's not all of his wealth, it's at least half of it, and now it all belongs to the Fang family."
No wonder they were able to move Queen Fang to speak for them. With such a large sum of money, I'm afraid Old Madam Fang would want to die in front of Queen Fang in exchange for her death to make her agree to this matter.
After all, in their view, this matter was not a big deal.
Your Majesty wants to punish Prince Duan, but is he afraid that he doesn't have a reason
Just find a raft. For now, just let it go. There will be many ways to deal with it in the future.
But if they missed out on this huge fortune from the Fang family, they wouldn't know where to get the money. The Fang family has always been frugal with their money, so no one would mind having a lot of money.
"Maybe they didn't ask Censor Chen what he thought." Mrs. Wei's eyes were still full of sarcasm. "There is only one sensible person in this family. If he had been asked, he would definitely not let the Fang family do such a stupid thing. It's a pity."
Why didn’t you ask
Wei An took an orange, broke it open, cut it into six pieces, and gave them to Old Lady Wei and Prince Zheng. He said softly, "I told Censor Chen, but I guess Censor Chen was not convincing enough."
Master Fang is indeed not a man who can remain stable.
