Chapter 1424 Changsun Shangshu Was Poked Into His Mind

Of course Chu Suiliang suspected other people, but he found no evidence.

So what if you doubt it?

Moreover, he has never seen Jiang Siye appear here. Is he really kidnapped here by Jiang Siye?

It was just that Chu Suiliang was suspicious.

As for Jiang Siye’s so-called deceased, Chu Suiliang is even less clear about him.

"I have been locked up here for so many days, and I haven't seen anyone else except the people who come to deliver meals every day."

"Jiang Siye has never been here, so I don't know whether there is anyone else behind him or who that person is." Jiang Siye shook his head and said.

Fang Xuanling frowned. He originally wanted to ask Jiang Siye for information about the person behind the scenes.

Now it seems that there is no clue at all.

"It's time to eat." A voice suddenly came from outside, and under the light of the torch, a man wrapped in a black robe walked in.

There was also a lunch box in his hand.

"Who are you?"

"Why should we be arrested?" Wei Zheng asked the man in front of him.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I'm here to bring you food. Eat it if you like it or not." The man looked very impatient.

Throw the lunch box on the ground, then turn around and leave.

Wei Zheng was angry, but there was nothing he could do against the man.

At this moment, they are locked up here, and they are in a desperate situation.

Wei Zheng was now thinking about what Cheng Yaojin was doing now that he had promised them that he would ensure their safety.

…

"General, there is news." Cheng Yaojin was waiting for news from his subordinates at the Beiya Forbidden Army Office.

The general ran over and reported to Cheng Yaojin.

"Say." Cheng Yaojin just said one word.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had been arrested as previously agreed.

Then Cheng Yaojin would have to find a way to ensure the safety of the two of them.

If something happened, Cheng Yaojin would have no way to explain it.

"Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang are now locked up in a house in the north of the city. There is a dungeon there, and there are more than a dozen people guarding it." Pioneer General and Cheng Yaojin reported.

Yesterday, they had been sending people to follow Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, so they knew exactly where they were kidnapped.

The general also came to report to Cheng Yaojin after he found out the situation there.

"General, should we send someone over immediately to rescue Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang?" After the general finished speaking, he asked Cheng Yaojin one more question.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "It's not necessary for the time being. You send people to keep a close eye on the place. We must ensure the safety of the two of you."

If Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were rescued now, wouldn't their previous plan be ruined?

Isn't it a waste of effort to agree to Jiang Siye's invitation with great fanfare?

Now we can only temporarily aggrieve the two of them and wait quietly for the person behind the scenes to take action.

Although the general didn't quite understand the meaning of Cheng Yaojin's actions.

But he still chose to nod and was about to leave when he was stopped by Cheng Yaojin.

"During this period of time, the soldiers have to cheer up."

A sentence without beginning or end left the general confused.

He responded and left the government office.

Cheng Yaojin sat on the stool, thinking about what happened in Chang'an these days, and thought that the person behind the scenes should take action soon.

…

Two days later, the entire Chang'an was searched, but there was still no trace of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.

The two people were the candidates appointed by the emperor to govern. Now that they are both missing, the officials really don't know what to do.

Tai Chi Hall, one

All the ministers were listless.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were not found, and the officials seemed to have lost their leader.

In the past two days, there was no order in the six parts.

Everyone is worried.

Today's court meeting is another one without anyone hosting it.

"Everyone, there is no need to be so depressed." Changsun Wuji spoke to the officials.

But the officials didn't buy his account and didn't even look at him.

Changsun Wuji looked a little worried, forced a smile, and said: "We are all very worried about the disappearance of Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang."

"But the people sent out by Jingzhao Mansion to search have never stopped."

"I believe that Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang will be found soon."

"But His Majesty is far away in Qizhou now. If there is no one in Chang'an to take charge, Chang'an will definitely be in chaos."

"I still suggest that we first select someone to preside over the affairs of the court."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he was glared at by all the officials.

Changsun Wuji said this, undoubtedly wanting to tell the officials that he wanted to temporarily preside over the affairs of the court.

But thinking about Changsun Wuji excusing Jiang Siye yesterday, the officials couldn't believe him.

"Even if you have to choose someone to temporarily preside over the court, it won't be your eldest grandson's turn."

"That's right, Changsun Shangshu excused the suspect Jiang Siye yesterday. Maybe you two are in the same group."

"It's very possible that you conspired to kidnap Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang, and then take the opportunity to take charge of the court."

"Changsun Shangshu, what a huge ambition."

“I don’t know what Changsun Shangshu wants to do!”

In the Taiji Hall, all the officials jeered, and Changsun Wuji looked extremely ugly.

"Okay, Changsun Shangshu is also thinking about the overall situation, and we did have no evidence against Jiang Siye yesterday."

"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have not found any evidence that it was Jiang Siye who did it."

"The top priority right now is to select the person who will temporarily preside over the court as Changsun Shangshu said."

"Changsun Shangshu is your Majesty's most capable assistant, and he knows the political affairs of the court well. I hope that he can temporarily preside over the court." Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, suddenly spoke, quieting the noisy court.

Li Xiaogong recommended Changsun Wuji to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the court, which the officials did not expect.

In the past, Li Xiaogong never participated in discussing such things.

But letting Changsun Wuji temporarily preside over the court was unacceptable to the officials.

Changsun Wuji's previous image was never positive.

What's more, what happened the day before yesterday made all the officials doubt Changsun Wuji.

"Absolutely not. Changsun Shangshu absolutely cannot preside over the court."

"Have you forgotten that he and Li Tai were in charge of the court before, and then they almost destroyed the entire Tang Dynasty?" an official asked.

Changsun Wuji became furious instantly, took out the jade pendant from his waist, and threw it hard at the official who spoke.

The official was not knocked down, but his jade pendant was shattered on the ground.

"Everyone, you see, the eldest grandson Shangshu was poked into the mind by his subordinates, and now he is furious."

"How dare you let him preside over the court with such a look?" the official shouted with the other officials in the back row.

Changsun Wuji was held tightly by Li Xiaogong, and no matter how hard he struggled, there was no sign of him breaking free.

If he hadn't been held back, Changsun Wuji would have rushed over and chopped the official who spoke to death alive.

But the more Changsun Wuji acted like this, the more the officials felt that he was guilty.

Changsun Wuji stood aside dejectedly, but the officials did not look at him. The most important thing now was to find a person who could temporarily preside over the court.

They've been spending time here, so that's not a problem.
