"By the way, Your Majesty, speaking of this, there is indeed one thing that I did not tell Your Majesty."
Liang Jing asked curiously, "What? I want to hear it."
"Your Majesty, I suspect that the internal fighting within our great Zhou Dynasty, the dissatisfaction among the ministers, and the rebellion of Marquis Wenxin are all caused by someone deliberately instigating it in private, or taking action on the overall situation."
"Ye Jiajia told me that General Xiao He was assassinated and was blamed on the general. This matter was not done by Marquis Wenxin."
"He has always wondered who was helping him behind the scenes."
"What!"
Liang Jing was so surprised that his eyes widened. This was indeed unexpected. How could this be possible?
If Marquis Wenxin did not do this, who else could? Looking at the whole world, there are probably only a few people.
"Is this true?"
"I have to ask you carefully."
"Your Majesty, it's true."
"Then who do you think it could be? Who could be helping behind the scenes, or deliberately provoking a relationship within our Great Zhou?"
Lu Yun frowned and thought for a while, and then quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the following is just a conjecture made by me. Your Majesty, please do not believe it, it is just a casual talk."
"You tell me."
Lu Yun looked very confident as he came forward and sat next to Liang Jing, "Your Majesty, I, Da Zhou, am a vassal state under the Han Empire."
"The Han Empire has many vassal states. These vassal states are actually a threat to the Han Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, even Your Majesty wants to strengthen the centralization of power and put power into his own hands, so the big man must also want to do the same."
"So Your Majesty, if the Han want to strengthen the centralization of power and take away all the power and land of your vassals, what do they want to do?"
Liang Jing shook his head and asked in a daze, "What do you mean? I still don't understand."
"Then it will naturally cause internal strife among the various vassal states. This will weaken its own strength. Then when the Han Empire wants to send troops, it will be easy to do so."
When Liang Jing heard this, she suddenly realized that she had never thought about these things. As soon as Xiao Yunzi prompted her, she immediately understood one of the reasons. Xiao Yunzi is really amazing!
But whether it should be said or not, Xiao Yunzi thought about this matter thoroughly.
Even if he, the emperor, wanted to, he probably wouldn't think about this matter so clearly.
"Your Majesty, do you think my analysis is correct?"
"In addition, when I was investigating the assassination of General Xiao He, that woman died immediately! This is very wrong."
Liang Jing suddenly realized this and was quite surprised, "I didn't expect that the Han Empire would want to do this to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"But, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, pay tribute and pay taxes to the Han Dynasty every year. There is no need for them to do this."
Lu Yun explained: "Your Majesty, the hearts of the people are weak. Any powerful empire does not want its vassal states to become too powerful and replace them."
"What's more, the reason why the Han Empire divided vassal states into vassal states before was because their foundation was unstable, and they could only rely on this method to maintain the stability of the empire."
"But today is different from the past. Today's Han Empire is very powerful, and they no longer have to worry about rebellions among vassal states."
"The best solution is to let the various vassal states fight among themselves."
Liang Jing nodded thoughtfully, "Then it seems that I have to take precautions against this matter."
"Otherwise, you will really get into trouble with the big man."
…
The next day.
The news that the emperor was assassinated in the palace last night also spread throughout the harem and court.
Above the court, these ministers were all speculating whether His Majesty would talk about this matter during the morning court this morning, and whether he would hunt down the murderer.
Soon, Liang Jing came to the main hall. She sat on the dragon chair with a very domineering look and shouted to the ministers present, "Everyone, do you have anything to say today?"
"Your Majesty, we heard that your Majesty encountered an assassin last night. We thought that your Majesty's dragon body was not in good condition and we were frightened."
"I wonder, Your Majesty, who is the assassin?"
Liang Jing suddenly became furious and loudly asked these ministers, "Are you asking me?"
"How do I know who this assassin is?"
"None of you share my worries, but instead question me here."
At this time, Lu Yun stepped forward, hummed to the ministers, waved the fly whisk in his hand, and explained: "Last night, I accompanied your majesty."
"The assassin has a fox mask on his face."
"I heard that stories about fox demons and fairies have been circulating throughout the capital recently. I think everyone should know that there are no fox demons and fairies in this world."
"And this fox demon fairy actually came to the palace compound last night to assassinate His Majesty. From the looks of it, she is a traitor!"
"What kind of fairy is that? She is obviously a martial arts master, pretending to be a fairy, and wants to attack His Majesty. Who is behind this?
Why did you kill Zhongliang and commit suicide? "
"Have you ever wondered why this witch only attacks the ministers of the court and not other common people?"
Yang Zhong, the left prime minister, quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this matter is no small matter, Your Majesty!"
"I think we need to find out the identity of this murderer as soon as possible, find out the identity of this witch as soon as possible, otherwise we ministers and the people of the world will be in panic."
"Now I have offended His Majesty even more. This will definitely be severely punished."
Liang Jing scolded angrily: "Everyone of you said you would be severely punished!"
"Okay, then I would like to ask you all. Is there any one of you who wants to stand up and share my worries? Find out the identity of this fox demon and find out all the secrets of this assassin's identity."
For a moment, the ministers present were dumbfounded, because they knew very well in their hearts.
The identity of this fox demon came and went without a trace, leaving no trace at all.
It would be extremely difficult and impossible to investigate this, so whoever is willing to take over will be taken advantage of.
As long as they are not a fool, they will not dare to stand up unless His Majesty personally clicks on them.
Seeing that everyone had closed their mouths and said nothing, suddenly, Lu Yun stood up and shouted to the ministers present.
"Since none of you, your lords, are willing to worry about His Majesty, find this assassin who came to the palace."
"Then, my father-in-law would like to give it a try. What do you think?"
