Chapter 439: Resting with the Country
"The man who tampered with the mouth has confessed - he claimed that he was blackmailed and bribed by Prince Yizhong's men."
"The person who spread the news has been caught - he is indeed the remnant of Prince Yizhong."
Because Han Anbang was suddenly dismissed and investigated, Sun Shaozong handed the official document on the allocation of troops to Jia Yucun, and then rushed to the Northern Pacification Office in a hurry.
Along the way, he was still thinking about how to investigate the "Longgen case". Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the inner hall of the Northern Pacification Office, Pacification Envoy Lu Hui said the above two sentences first.
At first glance, it seems that the case can be closed.
But Lu Hui's ferocious and mocking expression made it clear that this was not the case.
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What a brilliant plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but it's a pity that it was a bit too much - since it was Prince Yi Zhong's remnants who planned this, how could they be so careless when spreading rumors afterwards? Isn't this ruining his last glimmer of hope?"
If it took a lot of effort to finally find out that it was Prince Yi Zhong who was responsible, Sun Shaozong might have been skeptical, but now it only took half a day to catch the person who spread the rumor, and he easily confessed that he was Prince Yi Zhong.
This is either a deliberate frame-up by someone.
Or maybe Prince Yizhong has a group of fans from 211 and 985 universities.
Uh~
The latter is of course a joke. Prince Yizhong is engaged in a power struggle, not street hip-hop. If there really is such a group of brainless remnants, they should have been arrested long ago.
However, after hearing what Sun Shaozong said, Lu Hui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered: "No matter who is behind this matter, since they dare to target Your Majesty, they should be prepared to exterminate all nine clans!"
After a pause, he fixed his sinister gaze on Sun Shaozong's face and shouted, "Captain Sun!"
"I am here."
"No matter what means you use, you must find out the person behind this and tell His Majesty the truth!"
"I will do my best!"
Sun Shaozong made the promise solemnly, but he was somewhat disapproving in his heart. Tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes was certainly important, but if Emperor Guangde wanted to reverse the situation at the moment, a so-called truth alone would be of no help.
Even if I could kill a lot of people, what would that do?
Could it be possible that the already shaken "foundation of the country" could grow back again because of bloody slaughter?
Of course, if the emperor could be killed as well, this crisis could be barely overcome.
But the problem is that these days, people attach much more importance to offspring than modern people can imagine. The severance of the prince's dragon roots will not only shake the 'foundation', but also the hearts of the people in the court and the country!
Let’s not talk about others, let’s take the cheap big brother as an example.
If he had not been dragged into the pirate ship by King Zhongshun, it would be hard to say whether he could continue to remain loyal to an emperor with no "future".
Even King Zhongshun, if he wasn't worried, how could he be willing to return the huge sum of money to his cheap brother?
The reason why General Qiu's hair turned white overnight was probably related to his inner turmoil and fear!
If you really want to calm this storm temporarily, you'll have to resort to unconventional and risky moves!
Let me explain this on two sides.
Not to mention how Sun Shaozong accepted the order in a time of crisis and rushed to the Prince's Mansion without stopping.
However, in a secret room in the backyard of a luxurious mansion, two middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes were celebrating wildly.
"Hahaha……"
Nearly half of the sixty-year-old Zhuangyuanhong wine was spilled in the crazy laughter, and the wine dripped down his beard and soaked his chest. The owner of the wine glass didn't care at all. He slammed the wine glass on the table and shouted loudly: "It's so refreshing, so refreshing! The tyrant emperor would never have thought that he would end up in such a situation!"
"Of course he couldn't have imagined that."
The other person was much more elegant. He took a sip from the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln wine cup, then gently spun it in his palm, sneering, "He came up with the trick of visiting his parents and deliberately praised those losers in Rongguo Mansion, thinking he could fool us. But he didn't know that we had already seen through his wicked heart!"
At this point, the man couldn't help but show a smug look on his face: "It's God's will. Just when we were about to take action, the vision of a heavenly dog swallowing the sun appeared. Now I want to see if he has any other tricks to save the situation!"
The bold middle-aged man smacked his lips and shook his head, saying, "To be honest, if you hadn't spent a lot of money to bribe the eunuchs in the imperial study, I would never have thought that he, who is usually listless, had been planning to capture all of us four kings and eight dukes in one fell swoop!"
At this point, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again. He moved closer to the elegant man and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, after all, that tyrant has been preparing for so many years. If we really fight to the death, will we..."
The following words were really unlucky, so he stopped talking.
However, the elegant man had already understood what he was worried about, so he calmly put the wine cup on the table and sneered, "This is exactly why I chose to launch this matter recently - the tyrant king was blinded by Prince Yi Zhong's firearms and wanted to control the Shen Ji Battalion, so he transferred a lot of people from the City Defense Battalion and the Patrol Defense Battalion."
"Nowadays, the sons of nobles who are close to the retired emperor have the upper hand in the city defense camp and patrol camp. Unfortunately, the Shenji Camp does not have many new firearms to use at the moment. In this case, even if he wants to turn against the retired emperor, how can he afford it?"
"Aren't there still the Tiger Guards?"
"Hahaha……"
When the elegant middle-aged man heard the words "Hu Ben Camp", he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He shook his head and said, "He was too clever for his own good. Because the Hu Ben Camp has the responsibility of protecting the imperial palace and is the only elite field force in the capital, he specially picked the mature and prudent Qiu Ying to take charge to prevent him from being lured away."
"But precisely because Qiu Ying has always been cautious and has always acted in a unclear manner, he will definitely not help the tyrant to deal with the emperor - of course, the opposite is also true. If the emperor wants to take action against the tyrant, Qiu Ying will probably not obey his orders obediently."
"However, since this tyrant has lost his heir and the heavens have given him a warning, why should the emperor resort to force? He can just mobilize public opinion and force the tyrant to choose one of the princes or grandchildren to inherit the throne."
"Prince Zhongshun has no children and has a bad reputation, so he is not considered as a crown prince."
"Not to mention Prince Yizhong. Even if we don't use his name this time, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback."
"As for the remaining two, King Zhongxin and King Yishun, one is our brother-in-law, and the other is your son's in-law - what do you think is there to worry about?"
As he spoke, the elegant middle-aged man filled another glass of wine, raised it high and said, "Come, let's drink a glass for our family and Guo Xianxiu!"
