[Traveling] Attacking Wife Trick

All of this happened so suddenly that Yingcheng didn't know what happened in the northern border, and he couldn't be convinced just by "collaborating with the enemy and treason, supporting the army to create chaos".How could the Ji family do such a thing?

Thinking of Chang Xi saying before leaving: Don't worry.Ying Cheng couldn't stop worrying no matter what.What needs to be understood most now is the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Without stopping any longer, he quickly went to the palace. At this moment, Yingcheng wanted to see his father, and he was eager to find out the ins and outs of everything.

In the palace, in Ying Congyu's bedroom, Zhan Xiao and Ying Lan were both there.

Ying Cheng knelt in front of Ying Congyu, he looked at Ying Congyu, straightened his back, "Father Jun."

Ying Congyu's face was not very good-looking, as if he knew why Yingcheng came.Sitting on the gilt dragon chair, he snorted coldly.

Yingcheng knew that he was angry, but he didn't flinch, nor did he show any timidity.His voice was calm, and he couldn't hear any panic, but in fact, Yingcheng was in a mess.

"Father," Ying Cheng said, "I just want to know what happened, why did you take Chang Xi to the Ministry of Punishment for no apparent reason?"

"I don't understand?" Ying Congyu suddenly became angry, "You mean that I have accused the Ji family?" He threw a stack of things on the table in front of Yingcheng, "Look carefully for yourself, do you not know? Bai, the evidence is solid."

There are several secret reports scattered in front of him.The black and white writing was very clear. Ying Cheng picked it up slowly, and he saw every word and sentence written on it.The Ji family colluded with the State of Chu, intentionally launched a war, and caused chaos in northern Xinjiang. The second son of the Ji family had a close relationship with His Majesty of the State of Chu, and once stayed in the palace of the State of Chu for a while.

Yingcheng remained silent, he looked at it very seriously, and his heart became more and more heavy, he roughly understood.The reason why Ying Congyu said that the Ji family colluded with the enemy and treason was probably talking about the relationship between Ji Changling and the King of Chu.And this... is indeed a fact that cannot be refuted.But does this prove that the Ji family is in trouble?It's ridiculous.

"These are reported by Deputy General Zhang Qian and Zhang Qian, who has been staying with the Ji family." Ying Congyu couldn't restrain his anger at all, and continued, "I also sent guards to observe Beijiang secretly. Do you think I can So rest assured that the Ji family has one hundred thousand elite soldiers and has been in northern Xinjiang for so many years?"

The more he talked, the more angry Ying Congyu said angrily, "I treated the Ji family well, and I asked you to marry Ji Changxi for fear of their decline. What happened? They had already prepared for it! How unreasonable!"

"Really? Is your father really afraid of the decline of the Ji family?" Ying Cheng has already put up a fight, "When you asked me to marry Chang Xi, you said that the Ji family has been loyal for generations and has no two hearts, and is dedicated to Daliang. Now ? Actually, what you said at the time was a lie. From the beginning to the end, what you wanted was to deliberately take over the military power of the Ji family."

"Presumptuous!" Ying Congyu was furious and slapped the table hard.Zhan Xiao and Ying Lan were also taken aback. Ying Lan frowned and looked at her younger brother, wondering if it was better to persuade her or shut up and stop spreading the wrath of the emperor.Zhan Xiao said anxiously, "Cheng'er." She shook her head at Ying Cheng, signaling him not to contradict Ying Congyu like this.

Ying Cheng stopped talking, and Ying Congyu said angrily, "You are a prince, but you actually contradicted your father for a mere side lord, where is your etiquette and filial piety?"

"I have been spoiled since I was a child. You are the son of the heavenly family, not a commoner. You can be so willful."

"My son remembers my identity." Yingcheng said, "It's just that Junfu attaches so much importance to Beijiang. I don't know when other places in Daliang that have suffered from war will be like Beijiang."

"What do you mean by that?" Ying Congyu stood up unhappily, walked down from the dragon chair, and stood in front of Yingcheng, "What are other places that have suffered from war?"

"For example, Feng Ji." Ying Cheng looked at Ying Congyu.

Ying Congyu said angrily, "You are really getting bolder now!"

It was a forbidden place in Daliang, and no one dared to mention it.Ying Congyu, as the king of a country, of course knows all kinds of situations in his own country.He didn't want to mention Feng Ji because it was a failure of his.However, now that Ying Cheng mentioned it, he just felt that his anger was unstoppable.

"It's so presumptuous!" Ying Congyu said, "Come here! Let Prince Rui go back to the mansion and reflect on it. When you realize that you've made a mistake, come see me in the palace again." As he said, he flicked his sleeves, turning his back with an ugly expression. over.

Yingcheng stared at him for a long time, but the palace people around him hesitated to speak.

With a slight movement of his body, Ying Cheng walked out of the hall without any hesitation.At this moment, the scenery is fine, but he just feels as if he has lost all consciousness, like a controlled puppet, and his soul seems to be out of his body.

At this moment, he could no longer hide the boundless despair and loss in his heart, and even Yingcheng felt confused. He stood in the empty palace, not knowing where to go.After a long time, he finally made a move.

After arriving at the Ministry of Punishment, Yingcheng wanted to see Chang Xi, but was stopped at the door.Those guards naturally knew him, and there was only one reason for such a move at this moment: the monarch had an order and had to obey it.

They also did not want to offend the Prince Rui who was once very favored, but they could not violate the royal order, so they could only say, "My lord, I hope you will understand."

Ying Cheng knew that this was what Ying Congyu meant, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to break through.He nodded, "I know, you have orders. It's just..." The conversation changed, and Ying Cheng said coldly, "If there is anything wrong with Mr. Ji, I will ask you to repay it a thousand times."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." The guard knelt down and said, "How dare you, my subordinate? Your Majesty just ordered us to keep a good guard first. I'm afraid the final decision will have to wait until Old General Ji and the second son of the Ji family come back."

Ying Cheng frowned, "So, the members of the Ji family have been escorted back from northern Xinjiang?"

"I don't know about this subordinate either. I only heard that General Ji and the Ji family army are temporarily controlled in northern Xinjiang."

Thinking that no matter how much he asked, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything, so Yingcheng fell silent.

How can one not feel sad that a loyal minister and good general has come to such an end.Since ancient times, how many people have died innocently for trumped-up charges?Collaborating with the enemy and treason... How could the Ji family accept such a crime? Chang Xi must be suffering very much at this moment, and what can she do for him?

Just when Yingcheng was distracted, the guard who approached said, "My lord, it's time to go home."

He didn't say anything more, but Ying Cheng felt a bit reluctant in his eyes. He took a deep look at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, and finally turned and left.

After returning to the mansion, Ning Xiang saw that his complexion was very bad, and he didn't see Ji Changxi, so he knew that the situation might be very bad, "My lord, how is the side?"

"I'm afraid this matter is..." Ying Cheng stopped what he was saying, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Ning Xiang, is there any way to get the news out now?"

Ning Xiang shook his head, "As soon as you and the gentleman left, the mansion was guarded by the guards, and there were people watching everywhere we went, there was nothing we could do about it."

Ying Cheng originally thought that he would ask someone to go to Luo Qingyao to inquire about the latest situation of General Ji and Beijiang.But now it seems that although he can still act independently, he has completely cut off contact with the outside world.The whole person is under house arrest, and no matter what they do, someone will monitor them.

Even Zhao Tingyun has noticed the changes in Prince Rui's Mansion, and he often asks Ying Cheng: Why are there so many people in the Palace suddenly?What happened to the Ji family?

It's a pity that Yingcheng couldn't answer his question, because he subconsciously didn't want too many people to know, and he didn't want the Zhao family to be involved again.

Although Wushuang was worried, she also knew that she would not add trouble to Yingcheng, and just stayed by his side silently.

When everyone was confused and uneasy, Mutang was even more uneasy - his master had gone to the Ministry of Punishment, and the current situation of the Ji family was not clear.He couldn't stop this anxiety for a moment.Ning Xiang was by his side every day, giving him some comfort.

In the past two days, while Yingcheng was thinking hard about leaving the mansion, a guest came to the palace, and this person was Ying Lan.

It was beyond Ying Cheng's expectation that Ying Lan came here at this time.

They have hardly communicated with each other since the last incident.Now that he is under house arrest, he can't communicate with the outside world at all. Yingcheng doesn't know why Ying Lan came to the palace at this time, and he doesn't know whether the other party is following Ying Congyu's intention or...

With a tentative attitude, he didn't take the initiative to speak, and the two sat together, a little relatively speechless.

After a long time, Ying Lan spoke first, "I know you are wondering why I can appear here."

Yingcheng glanced at him, noncommittal.

Ying Lan paused for a relatively short time this time, and he was not affected by Ying Cheng, "Don't you want to know how the Ji family is doing in northern Xinjiang now? Are you sure you want to treat me with this attitude?" It was actually very easy for the younger brother to open his mouth. He knew what the other party was most concerned about, because he could handle Ying Cheng's weakness.

Knowing that this was a deliberate setup, Ying Cheng tightened his fingers and said, "I care about the Ji family, and you have always understood that. So, don't try me like this."

"I don't believe you don't know the relationship between Ji Changling and His Majesty Chu." Ying Lan said suddenly.

There was a sudden jump in his heart, Yingcheng's eyes moved, his tone was still calm, "What do you want to say."

"You once told me that he has a lover. His lover... is Xuan Xiao, right." There was hardly any doubt about this sentence, so Ying Lan pointed out this fact with certainty.

Of course, the fact is true...but how can I tell this matter?

The border soldiers have an unusual relationship with the king of the enemy country, and it coincides with the war between the two countries, which is almost fatal.Yingcheng naturally believed in Ji Changling, he did not believe that that person would attack Liang Guo together with Xuan Xiao, but other people would not think so, everyone would think that the Ji family had the intention of treason.So this point is deliberately magnified and exploited.The Ji family was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.And this crime is unacceptable to the Ji family. It is too cruel for a loyal veteran official to be overturned by such a crime at the end of the day.And Ying Congyu wanted to send them back from northern Xinjiang, but now that there was a scuffle on the border, such a move would definitely cause even greater turmoil.So what will happen?Could it be that the members of the Ji family have been imprisoned in northern Xinjiang until the war is won or ended?In the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, without Ji Hongzhi and the Ji Family Army, can they still win?Moreover, Chang Xi must not stay in the Ministry of Punishment for so long.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ying Lan also expected that this younger brother probably knew it all in his heart.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little faintly angry, "You said I don't treat you as my own brother, so what about you, what do you think of me in this matter? You actually helped outsiders to lie to me Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he continued, "It's okay to tell you the truth, Father Jun is such a careful person, he can't make the Ji family too strong, so he sent the guards around him to hide in the north. Xinjiang, to observe every move of Beijiang. Chu State has great ambitions, and he has wanted to separate the Liang State for a long time. Now that Xuan Xiao has this strength, will he not take any action? Even if Ji Changling did not help Xuan Xiao , but always have a close relationship with Xuan Xiao. A few days before the start of this war, the imperial guards found out that the two of them were in contact. Do you really think that group of imperial guards are fuel-efficient lamps?"

Yingcheng's face was ugly, he didn't know what to say for a moment.Just because he found out...that he had been a fool for so long.Everything in northern Xinjiang is being monitored, so when I was in danger in northern Xinjiang, the group of imperial guards should have passed the news to Ying Congyu, and what about the father?Really calm, in order not to expose the identity of the imperial guards, I would rather pretend to be ignorant and let my son stay in the wild forest and rocks for a few more days...

Ying Cheng wanted to laugh, but he felt that the expression on his face must be very strange, because Ying Lan looked over with some questioning eyes.

At this moment, he felt a kind of collapsed despair.What kind of existence is he in this time and space?Father, what brother brought was all calculations, so what about Zhan Xiao... Yingcheng is not sure now, he feels that everything around him has become a distorted scene, and the depression makes him a little nauseous.

"What's wrong?" Seemingly realizing that something was wrong with Ying Cheng, Ying Lan walked up to him and held his shoulder.

Seeing that Ying Cheng remained silent, Ying Lan said, "I used to think that I knew enough and that I was smart enough. It wasn't until after this happened that I realized that I was just pretending to be smart. Father Jun is Compared with the man behind who really controls everything, we are really too small."

... That's right, in terms of calculations, who can calculate the superior king in the court?

"What are you going to do now?" Ying Lan asked, "Are you going to argue with reason or give up on yourself."

Responding to these words, Ying Cheng let go of the hand he had been holding tightly, "...No matter what, I will bear it with him." The him that Ying Cheng said must be referring to Ji Changxi.

Ying Lan gave a short laugh, and after letting go of Ying Cheng, he said, "Bring it together? Don't be stupid. This time it's not unfounded, but solid evidence. You know, many people want the Ji family to disappear. If you are stubborn Go on, I'm afraid I will be implicated."

"Oh?" Ying Cheng also smiled, and he looked up at Ying Lan, "Then what do you want from me?"

"You still don't understand the matter until now." Ying Lan said, "It is impossible for the Ji family to retreat completely, let alone to be rehabilitated. I am afraid that once the war is over, it will be them..." Ying Lan did not continue with the last few words , he knew that Yingcheng would understand.Once the war is over, the Ji family will no longer exist.

"No." Yingcheng retorted almost subconsciously, "There will be a way."

"There is indeed a way." After Ying Lan finished speaking, she saw Ying Cheng's wide eyes, and said slowly, "Now that Northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, according to the urgent report over there, many soldiers have been lost. If the Ji family It might be a good way to make meritorious deeds."

"How could the Jun father still let the Ji family lead the army?"

"Why is that impossible? Let the Ji family army replace Daliang's sergeants and go to the front line. Then send another elite soldier from the court to supervise them. If the Ji family rebels, they will... kill them on the spot. If the Ji family wins In this war, if you want to negotiate with Junfu, you will have more leverage."

The smile on the corners of his lips was still faint, but Yingcheng's eyes were full of cold anger, "Are you trying to force the Ji family to death? Chu's hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they stop it!?"

"If that's the case, they can be regarded as being loyal and innocent. What's wrong with it?" Ying Lan said, not caring about Ying Cheng's anger, and even lightly stroked the other's dark skin. Long hair, "I know you don't want to part with Ji Changxi, but look around you, there are so many people who are better than him. As long as you are willing, that group of people can't wait to enter Prince Rui's residence. Follow Ji's family, you may You will be deposed. Give up the Ji family, you are still the glorious Prince Rui." Ying Lan hugged him, "Although I don't want you to compete with me for that position, but I also don't want to watch you die."

"You haven't changed at all." Ying Cheng looked sideways at Ying Lan, "I had a small hope before... I was wrong." I shouldn't have any hope for you anymore, in fact, you can enjoy You are cruel to me, because...you are not my brother at all, I don't have a brother in the first place, and your brother died a long time ago.All the relations between us, as of today... all end.

Yingcheng laughs that he always has a little good imagination about people.However, Ying Congyu made himself see the reality clearly, and Ying Lan broke his last hope even more.They didn't have any relationship in the first place... That's fine, there is no longer any concern.

Ying Lan froze for a moment, he thought that Ying Cheng was angry with him.He said with an unhappy expression, "You have to be so stubborn? This is the last chance for the Ji family, don't be self-willed."

However, Ying Cheng didn't care much anymore, he was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Let me meet Chang Xi, I want to see him."
