Do they not care about Concubine Lin Shu's feelings by taking advantage of a child who is less than 100 days old? Prince Linjiang does not seem to be such a person. Concubine Yu must be too eager to get out of her current predicament.
Old Madam Wei was a little annoyed: "Concubine Yu is also a person who can be cruel and disregard enemies. This kind of person only cares about her own interests. It is really not an easy character to deal with. Your father and others are in Jiangxi, so it seems that you still have to be extremely careful."
After all, the failure of this incident was directly related to Wei An. If Concubine Yu, because she hated Wei An, dealt with Wei Yangqing and Prince Zheng... or alienated the relationship between Prince Zheng and Prince Linjiang, then things would be a bit troublesome.
Wei An knew what Old Lady Wei meant: "I understand. I have already asked Third Young Master Lin to remind my father in my letter that he should submit a reply to the imperial court on time. Concubine Yu should not be stupid enough to take action against my father directly."
Old Madam Wei narrowed her eyes. "Many disasters are caused by internal strife, which shows how much the instability of the inner house affects the external affairs. I hope that Prince Linjiang understands this truth. After Third Young Master Lin told Prince Linjiang, the prince wrote a letter to the prince, and the prince should also clean up his backyard."
Otherwise, to put it bluntly, even if he really got that position, he would just be another Emperor Longqing in the end.
What can you expect from someone who is indecisive and hesitant in relationships? He doesn't even have the most basic judgment and problem-solving abilities!
She was silent for a moment, then sighed and asked Wei An: "What do you think will happen next?"
Emperor Longqing would not give up. He had just had his youngest son, and he regarded him as a lucky star. He already hated Concubine Peng De, and now she was targeting his youngest son and almost harmed him. How could he not pursue the matter
But if you trace it back, there will be no end to the matter.
When the time comes, it will be urgent...
Wei An knew that Old Madam Wei was thinking about Emperor Longqing's reaction. Her eyebrows jumped and she didn't speak for a while. After a long time, she coughed and said, "Next, Concubine Yu should instigate Concubine Peng De."
The sun was already out outside, but for some reason, Mrs. Wei still felt cold all over and couldn't help shivering.
What are you trying to provoke
What did Empress Fang do in the past? Of course, she was trying to instigate Concubine Peng De to do something.
But what Queen Fang wanted at that time did not come to pass.
Because this matter also concerns Chu Jingxing, and is directly related to Chu Jingxing and the Xue family. If the Linjiang Palace cannot deny the relationship, it will be criticized no matter what, and may even be discovered and attacked by Emperor Longqing like the King of Jin.
The situation that Concubine Peng De is facing now is different, and the situation of the Linjiang Palace is naturally different as well.
If Concubine Peng De really dares to do so now, then there is probably a lot of hope for success.
Once it succeeds, the world will really change.
Old Madam Wei didn't want to think about it anymore. Sometimes, using some tricks was a useless solution. She only hoped that by then, Prince Linjiang would be able to see through these tricks that there was a tiger hiding beside him.
This will prevent the tiger from biting other people again.
She looked at Wei An and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. Feicui told them through the door that Xuesong had arrived.
When Wei An saw Old Lady Wei nod, he asked Xuesong to come in and asked him what was the matter.
Xuesong greeted Old Madam Wei first, then looked at Wei An: "People from the four major families are here, the Chen family is here too, the first and second wives are here, the Marquis asked me to ask you, do you want to go over and watch them perform?"
The performers finally came on stage. It was a great pleasure not to miss this. Wei An smiled and nodded.
Old Madam Wei then told her, "Just listen at the back first, and don't show up."
Wei An answered yes and followed Xue Song through another door. He sat down behind the screen and heard a loud man's voice coming from the front. The man seemed very angry and said angrily, "Your Excellency, we are not crazy! How could we let the people ram your ship when we knew it was coming for no reason? You are tired of living."
Wei An pursed his lips and smiled.
As expected, when these people heard that the Maritime Customs was looking for a site, they all became excited.
Shen Chen sighed in front: "I know this, but it happened after all. How many people died in this incident? Do you know?"
There was silence outside for a moment.
Shen Chen continued, "This time, seven people died. Those who were trampled and others who fell off the boat were injured. A total of 29 people. What a huge number! I just arrived and so many people died. The court will not let this matter go!"
There was a slight rustling sound outside, probably because the group of people started to put their clothes in order. Wei An continued to smile, and heard Shen Chen say again: "The Inspector General has sent someone to inquire about it. He said that this matter must be reported to the court, and asked me to give an explanation as soon as possible. This case must be tried carefully. If someone really murdered the imperial envoy, then the Maritime Customs..."
The loud-mouthed man outside immediately became excited again: "Your Excellency! We in the Chen family have always said what we think. This time...something went wrong, but it was because my second brother and his men were unreliable. The ships below were all managed by my second brother..."
Here it comes, they finally start to blame each other.
Wei An stood still as a mountain. He took the tea handed to him by Xuesong, took a sip, and sneered.
Immediately, another sharp voice rang out: "Brother, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?! We are all family, would I harm my own family?! If something happens to me, it will be the Chen family's fault, what do you mean?! How can you push the responsibility onto me?!"
Shen Chen snorted: "I haven't finished what I want to say yet, are you guys a little too impatient?"
Both Master Chen Da and Master Chen Er stopped talking.
Shen Chen continued, "We have found out the cause of the incident. The people at the bow said that the people under the cabin received an order to turn around at the last minute, which is why they were caught off guard and collided with my ship."
Wei An stood up coldly and glanced outside through the curtain.
There were quite a few people standing in a neat row outside, and Shen Chen's subordinates were divided into two rows, with quite a few people sitting there as well.
Those who are sitting should be the ones who are in power or respected in the family, and those who are standing are naturally the younger generation or those who have no say.
All the people came, and Shen Chen chose to drop the bomb now, and it was indeed the right time.
They had no intention of continuing to engage in petty quarrels with these people. The situation in the capital was changing rapidly, and they could not get stuck in the vortex of Fujian and stand still.
