"Your Majesty seems to have no reaction. That's not right. I should say that His Majesty doesn't care much about these things now?"
Lu Hanjiang came to the Jinyiwei Yamen for a rare visit today, and Meng Yuan was also traveling with him. Tomorrow is when everything will be settled, and there is no need for the old man to continue hiding in the small courtyard on South Street.
"It's not that he doesn't care, it's that His Majesty doesn't have the extra energy to deal with these mundane matters at this time." Meng Yuan's tone was rare and melancholy.
"It seems that Your Majesty is really desperate," Lu Hanjiang frowned slightly, then relaxed, and then frowned again: "The theory of immortality is illusory, how come Your Majesty can believe it for decades? Old man, is there really a way to live forever?"
"I don't know."
This time, Meng Yuan's answer was different, but the flame burning quietly in his eyes showed no sign of extinguishing. He only heard him say again: "But your Majesty's method of immortality is not feasible."
"Because the method is wrong?" Lu Hanjiang asked.
"It's because the person is wrong." Meng Yuan sighed.
The two were silent for a moment, and suddenly, Lu Hanjiang said, "If we take action today, what are our chances of winning?"
Meng Yuan took a deep look at Lu Hanjiang, and then said: "If we do it tomorrow, the chance of winning is 90%, but if we do it today, the chance is less than 30%."
Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
"Because of these four words, the name is just and the words are right," Meng Yuan said carefully: "If the name is not right, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. Remember, we are loyal ministers who save the country from danger, not ambitious ones. usurper."
Lu Hanjiang nodded slightly: "I see. So in that case, there is really no other power around His Majesty?"
"There are Jinyi Guards, the Forbidden Army, and Cao Yuan's Expert Factory and Dongchang. Aren't these enough?" Meng Yuan stared at him and said: "It must be noted that Your Majesty is not an ordinary person. If you take action today, even among the Jinyi Guards, More than half of the brothers will be confused."
This is a helpless fact. The Jinyiwei's main goal is to loyal the army. Even if Lu Hanjiang and Meng Yuan penetrate this force deeply, it is impossible to ask them to aim the Xiuchundao at the emperor.
If one prince is supported in a confrontation with another prince, the Jinyiwei will not hesitate at all. They will fight wherever Lu Hanjiang points. Even if the emperor's relatives are in front, Xiuchundao will not be confused at all.
But the emperor is different. He is the emperor and the object of their allegiance. From the first day these people entered the Jinyi Guard, no one taught them that they could point a knife at the emperor one day.
The emperor knew that Meng Yuan was separated, but he did not immediately deal with the Jin Yiwei. This was also the reason. He had absolute confidence that these people would not be able to point their knives at him.
In this game, both sides are betting. The emperor is betting on longevity. When he lives as long as the sky, he will have unlimited time to take care of the affairs of the court. Some disturbances are not worth mentioning at all.
And Meng Yuan is also betting. He is betting that the theory of longevity is a scam from beginning to end. Even if he takes 10,000 steps back to say that this damn method is really effective, the emperor will die because of a crucial chess piece. Was replaced.
"I heard that you arranged for someone to enter the palace a few days ago?" Meng Yuan suddenly asked.
"Well," Lu Hanjiang nodded, and then said with a smile: "It's not that I can't trust the old man, nor that I can't trust Aunt Axiu, but I am the princess's consort after all, so I can arrange for someone to go and watch, so I can feel at ease."
Meng Yuan nodded and did not dwell on the matter any more. He instead said, "You must have already guessed that His Highness Yu in the palace is just a target."
"That's right, after all, he doesn't look like the Crown Princess's child at all." Lu Hanjiang replied with a smile.
After teasing, he added: "So I am very curious, how did Her Highness the Crown Princess hide the truth?"
The emperor is so obsessed with immortality that he must carefully examine everything from the method of immortality to the props used. Since your majesty is so sure, it is definitely not because of the princess's one-sided words. He must have his own verification method.
As expected, Meng Yuan then said: "The Great Zongyuan has a set of clear identification methods for such princes and grandsons who are living outside the country and have not been on the royal jade plate to ensure that no one can confuse the royal bloodline."
When he said this, Meng Yuan's face showed an indescribable mockery. It's no wonder. After all, although the Dazong Zhengyuan has never made a mistake on this matter in more than two hundred years, that is because so far it has not No one is bold enough to do anything like this.
Lu Hanjiang asked in confusion: "In this case, how did Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess convince His Majesty the Emperor that His Royal Highness Yu is the real grandson?"
"The main courtyard has many testing methods, but there is only one crucial thing, and that is to confirm that the blood flowing through the other person's body is indeed the royal blood."
Meng Yuan said with a terrifyingly cold smile: "What the Crown Princess has to do is very simple, just let the blood of the royal family flow on the body of His Highness Yu. You haven't seen His Highness Yu in front of others for many days. Bar."
A look of shock gradually appeared in Lu Hanjiang's eyes: "Can it be said?"
Meng Yuan stopped talking and nodded gently to him. Lu Hanjiang immediately understood that he had indeed seen a method that could completely transform a person's flowing blood into another form.
His Highness Yu has indeed not appeared in front of others for a long time. Thinking of this, Lu Hanjiang seemed to have understood the Crown Princess's plan.
"It seems that His Majesty's dream of immortality is no longer possible." Lu Hanjiang sighed.
"Now that everything is ready, the only obstacle left for us is the palace gate."
Meng Yuan's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "Tonight I will go to Commander Wen to 'discuss' this matter. If nothing goes wrong tomorrow, when chaos breaks out in the palace, you can act as easily as possible."
Lu Hanjiang said in surprise: "Old man, at such a critical time, you shouldn't have arranged everything. Why did you end up doing something cheap for me in the end? Aren't you afraid that I might cause some trouble?"
Meng Yuan shook his head and said: "If we set those rules for you, it will easily lead to more flaws."
Lu Hanjiang sighed and said, "It seems that the old man is still unwilling to reveal your old age to the kid."
menu It’s the critical moments that make the most difference.”
"Old man, you are gambling," Lu Hanjiang said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid that one day you will make a mistake and lose everything?"
"If you gamble for a long time, you will lose. How can I not be afraid?" Meng Yuan said with a smile: "But along the way, I have not been gambling on any move. Man's plan is up to man, and it is up to God. If God doesn't give it, there is nothing he can do. "Give it"
Meng Yuan looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to hold the sky tightly. He opened his palm and slowly clenched it into a fist. After a long time, he turned around and left without saying a word.
