The rise of the prince

Chapter 50 Rescue Countermeasures
Later, King Xiao returned to Beijing, and Li Xingzhou followed him.

Looking back on the past, Wei Yubai couldn't help but feel melancholy. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, things have changed, and King Xiao is no longer here. The arrogant kid at that time has grown up. He should be sixteen this year.

In fact, as soon as she arrived in the capital, she heard a lot of rumors about Prince Xiao's son. There were all kinds of rumors. It seemed that the boy was very famous in Beijing, but nothing good was said about him. When I mentioned it suddenly, I remembered all the things I heard before, and my heart was still booing.

How could the child who was like a little tiger turn into what he is now? Everyone secretly cursed him, and he was also called the Great Harm of Kyoto.

But she didn't have time to think too much, how to rescue her father is the most important thing right now, they came to visit and walk around repeatedly, and they only knew the general situation in Beijing.

There are many people who are close-knit about this matter, and some are avoiding suspicion.For example, General Zhong didn't receive them. She knew that General Wei was speaking for her father in court, and she didn't see them to avoid suspicion.

Most of them didn't see them directly, and there were not many who could see them. Among them, Chen Yu, a scholar of the Hanlin University, was unwilling to speak for them, He Zhao, the governor of the Kaiyuan Mansion, was hesitant, and Yu Chengan, a political advisor, bluntly said that he would severely punish his father. Everyone else was evading.

After all, there was no substantive progress. In the final analysis, whether the father is dead or alive is just a matter outside the body for the officials who sit firmly in Beijing.

On the whole, they have been running around for so many days and have gained almost nothing. Wei Yubai is not a fool, she knows it well.

Today's Holy Majesty is not a foolish and indecisive person. There will definitely be a decision before this event, because someone must guard Guanbei after the spring of next year, otherwise the Liao people may go south again. Their time is running out, only less than a month.

After a while, Xiaoer brought out the noodles and mutton. Wei Xingping, who had been hungry for a whole day, couldn't wait to eat it, but Wei Yubai didn't have the slightest appetite. If something happened to his father, the whole Wei family would suffer, even if they weren't involved, it wouldn't be easy.

"Sister, eat quickly, or it will be cold in a while." Wei Xingping said vaguely with his mouth full.

Wei Yubai shook his head: "Eat slowly." As he spoke, he picked up mutton slices. These days it was really hard for him. As a woman, it was inconvenient for her to stand out, so she insisted on letting him learn to speak all kinds of polite words, pretending, and facing all kinds of people smiling.

"Sister, don't worry too much, there is always a way to take one step at a time, this is really good." Wei Xingping said.

"Understood, you eat yours." She also ate it as she said it, the taste was like chewing wax, and she couldn't taste the slightest taste.

"Speaking of which, Yu Chengan, the political adviser, is willing to meet us. The old man is not forgiving, but he is quite decent. I feel that he is a nice person. What he said is actually true. Our Wei family has indeed neglected our duties." Wei Xingping said while eating.

"Heh, not bad?" Wei Yubai shook his head: "He's only cheating on people like you, the more he speaks, the more filthy and shameless he is in his heart."

"Sister, are you saying that Yu Chengan lied to us?"

She sighed and said: "Yu Chengan is only doing it for himself. He can deceive others but not me. When he saw us, he just wanted to show the world that his father's death was selfless. He has a clear conscience, even if he sees his father's descendants Frank and frank. But if you think about it carefully, who is the commander of the Xinzhou Xiang Army?"

"Xinzhou Xiangjun. Yufannan." Wei Xingping said uncertainly.

"Exactly, that Yu Fannan is the eldest son of Yu Chengan. If there is no father, Guanbei is an important military area after all, and a new Jiedushi must be established. If there is a vacancy at that time, except for his father, anyone who is familiar with the border defense of Guanbei Only Yu Fannan is left." Wei Yubai drank the fragrant tea and said.

"But Yu Fannan is just the commander of the Xinzhou Xiangjun, and he has always obeyed his father's commander. He has no skills. If he is asked to hold the banner, isn't it a clear sign that the Liao people will let go of the south!" Wei Xingping was anxious.

She shook her head and said: "You are too young, even so, so what, should I let you go? After that, you and I are just sinners, and there will always be someone to take over the defense in Guanbei. It is better than nothing. Besides, Yu Yu Cheng An doesn't care if Guan Bei is safe or not, all he cares about is whether his nephew can succeed."

"Damn it!" Wei Xingping angrily threw down his chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore.

Wei Yubai shook his head helplessly: "I didn't want to tell you that you have been outside the customs for a long time, and you have a fierce and straightforward temperament. I don't know that the rich and powerful in Beijing only pay attention to profit and strategy. Talk less and use your brains more."

"sister"

"Okay, I will consider all major matters, and you don't have to worry too much.

There is no need for Yu Chengan to visit these few days, anyway, he will see him no matter how many times he goes, but it is absolutely impossible for him to help us.Master Chen Yu is also right, he is a scholar, this matter is not very convincing.The key lies in He Zhao. He is upright and upright, not only among the people in Beijing, but also in the court. If he speaks for his father, there will be room for him to turn around. "

Wei Yubai said with some disappointment: "But when it comes to weight, I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with Mr. Wang Yue, Pingzhangshi under Tong Zhongshu. It's just that he has been sick recently and stays behind closed doors. He wants to see Bi It is still difficult to reach the sky, and this road will not work.”

Wei Xingping's eyes suddenly brightened: "Sister, do you still remember what people said on the street, saying that Li Xingzhou, the son of Prince Xiao, almost beat Chen Yu, a scholar of the Hanlin University, to death, but the emperor just gave a few words of admonition, and even beat the prince of the Prime Minister's mansion to death?" Lianshan promises him, it is the biggest disaster in Kyoto."

Wei Yu gave him a blank look: "What time is it? Father's life or death is uncertain, and the future of the Wei family is unknown. You still care about these street rumors."

Wei Xingping quickly defended: "No, sister, think about it, what if these rumors are true? If Li Xingzhou really hit Mr. Chen Yu, is it true that the emperor promised Miss Wang to him without punishment?"

"So what, what does it have to do with us?"

"If it's true, it shows how much the emperor loves him! If I did this, my father would probably beat me to death. If the emperor really dotes on him so much, instead of begging He Zhao, who has a bad temper, he would just beg him. Wouldn't it be better for the prince to help you speak!" Wei Xingping said excitedly.

Wei Yubai froze for a moment, frowned and thought for a while: "What you said is also reasonable. If you really reach that point, begging Li Xingzhou may be more useful than begging He Zhao, but it is still just a rumor on the street. Whether those things are true still needs to be verified. OK."

Wei Xingping nodded excitedly: "That is, that is, we only need to check three things, one is whether the prince beat Lord Chen Yu, the other is whether the emperor really reprimanded him, and the third is whether the emperor really promised Miss Wang. The prince is here, if the three things are true, then the emperor will love the prince so much!"

"You're right. It's very simple to ask about these three things. You can just go to Mr. Chen. Although he refused to help us, he also said that if there is anything else we can help you with, you will definitely tell him if you ask him these things." Wei Yubai also felt that this matter might be feasible.

"Sister, let's go without delay!" Wei Xingping hurriedly stood up and left, after all, this was what he proposed.
