Chapter 773 Bitterness 1 Bitterness 3 Thoughts
If Wu Sansi suffers, everyone will benefit.
This was the consensus between Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi on this matter.
Of course, if there really is a traitor among the princes of the Wu family, then the most likely person is King Wu Sansi of Liang.
After all, after spending so many years with King Wu Sansi of Liang, the other court officials all understood what kind of person Wu Sansi was, not to mention Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi.
As for the other princes of the Wu family, they might all be possible, but the possibility is not greater than that of Wu Sansi's small gang.
In the small group headed by Wu Sansi, in addition to King Wu Sansi of Liang himself, there were also Wu Youning, the General of the Left Guard who held military power, Wu Youzhi, the Governor of Jiangzhou, and Wu Youji, who was the third-rank Minister of Rites at the time.
These are all powerful allies.
Although their combined power is not as great as that of Emperor Wu Yizong, their influence should not be underestimated.
If there really was a small group that came together to sell out the country, then Wu Sansi was definitely no less suspicious than anyone else, and Wu Sansi had even greater ambitions.
“Think hard and think twice, there is a bright future for all of us.”
Wu Chengsi made the final decision.
"That's it. Tomorrow, at the grand court meeting, Cunxi, you can openly throw dirty water on Sansi. I'll see how others react."
"Master, this is a great idea!" Li Cunxi said loudly.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahaha!" Wu Chengsi shook his head. "No matter who has the problem, we'll all see it clearly tomorrow."
"Teacher, I will go back and write the paperwork and submit it tomorrow."
"Okay, my son, send Cunxi off."
"Got it, Dad."
Wu Yanji and Wu Yanhao stood up together and left the main hall.
After the three people left, Wu Chengye was no longer as agitated as before, but showed a shrewd expression.
"Brother, you really have good vision. I was always curious why you needed an exile to fight Wu Sansi. Now it seems that your vision is impeccable."
Wu Chengsi tilted his head, glanced at his good brother, and sneered.
"You don't have to pretend to be so calm. We've been together for so many years, and I know exactly who you are. Luoyang has been restless lately, so you should go back to Chang'an."
"Remember, you are not allowed to come back until this matter is over. The lives of our family, young and old, are in your hands."
Wu Chengsi suddenly looked solemn and sighed.
"I always feel like there's a dark cloud looming over the city. These people are giving up their good life and insisting on causing chaos. Do they really think they can rival the power of an entire country?"
"Brother, do you think it could be Emperor Yizong?" Wu Chengye asked with narrowed eyes.
Wu Chengsi shook his head.
"You should understand the relationship between him and me. It's no different from yours. We're almost half-brothers."
"As long as the Crown Prince is deposed and Cun Xi ascends to that position safely, with his relationship with me, even if his title is demoted in the future, he will definitely be a Duke."
"There's no reason for Emperor Yizong to send his entire family to the guillotine. He's not that stupid. Don't forget, he was the first one of our generation to follow my aunt, bar none."
Having dealt with Wu Yizong for decades, Wu Chengsi did not believe in his heart that this matter had anything to do with Wu Yizong.
But Wu Chengye didn't think so. He seemed to want to say something, but after opening his mouth several times, nothing came out.
Wu Chengsi frowned when he saw his brainless brother and asked:
"You seem to be feeling really uncomfortable. Just say whatever you want to say. We are brothers, there's nothing we can't talk about."
Wu Chengye made up his mind with great difficulty and said:
"Brother, you may have a good relationship with Emperor Yizong, but don't forget that Emperor Sizong has also been transferred back to the capital in the past two years."
Wu Chengsi was stunned.
He did have very little dealings with Wu Sizong, but he had a very close relationship with Wu Yizong after all. In his opinion, since he and Wu Yizong had such a good relationship, there was no reason for Wu Sizong to be entangled with Wu Sansi.
You have to know that the current court is not the same as before. The factions are now clearly divided. It is impossible for Wu Sizong to abandon his brother and follow Wu Sansi.
"Si Zong previously served as the Grand General of the Left Eagle Guard, stationed in the Jiangdong area. Last year, he was transferred back to the court as the Grand General of the Right Guard, competing with You Ning. Logically, if he and his brother are on the same page, he should have established a relationship with you."
"But, he seems to have never been to your Prince Wei's Mansion, and even hasn't been to Prince Liang's Mansion. But doesn't this better represent his current attitude?"
"Brother, do you really think he's indifferent and indifferent?"
After being reminded by Wu Chengye, Wu Chengsi's expression immediately became serious.
This was a reminder to his not-so-smart younger brother.
Logically speaking, the current court situation is already very clear, but after Wu Sizong returned to the court, he did not take the initiative to stand on the side of him and Wu Yizong. The reason for this is definitely not that he really would not help either side!
Anyone would feel that something was wrong with this kind of thing, but he actually forgot about it because of his relationship with Emperor Wu Yizong.
"Chengye, as your brother, I have to thank you."
"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have been blinded by the overall situation and thought I had everything under control."
"You must take your men back to Chang'an overnight. Don't stop there, and take Yanji and Yuanhui with you."
Wu Yanji and Wu Yanhao, who had just entered the room, were stunned.
They didn't understand. It had only been a short while since Li Cunxi was sent away, so why did Wu Chengsi suddenly decide to send Wu Yanji and Wu Yuanhui away?
"Brother, I will take them away right now, but the journey to Chang'an is not short, so Yanji and Yuanhui must be prepared." Wu Chengye said.
Wu Chengsi said decisively: "Yanji, tell your mother to ask him to pack some things for you and Yuanhui personally, and tell her that you are going to Chang'an with Chengyexi and will stay in Chang'an for a short time."
Wu Yanji nodded obediently, and just as he was about to leave, he asked again: "Dad, if Yuan Hui and I leave, what will happen to my wife and children? And what about Yan Hao?"
Wu Yanji of this era was born early, so he got married and had children early. Now his eldest son is almost as old as Wu Yuanhui.
It was also because of this that Wu Yanji was unable to abandon his wife and children and go to Xi'an alone.
"Take them all away, take them all away, but Yanhao has to stay. During this unexpected time, Yanhao has to face the current situation with me.
"What's more, my daughter-in-law is pregnant and I'm afraid she can't stand the bumpy ride."
Wu Yanhao understood the seriousness of the situation and knew that his father wanted to keep him to face the changes.
"Dad, even if you ask me to leave, I won't leave."
"I have to be with you. I have to uphold the reputation of the Duke of Liang's Mansion."
Wu Yanhao patted his chest.
It was true that he didn't want to leave. When he came back, he heard a wise saying from Li Cunxi.
It’s called “the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.”
How could he achieve a higher position without being in the waves?
