"Actually, it's not that one is ebbing away from the other, but that they are consuming each other, and the two are gradually declining!" Su Li continued to make heart-wrenching remarks, "After fighting for so many years, the scope of the prince's power has become smaller and smaller. What King Zhao originally had, It is also gradually dissipating! So, where did the lost power of the two of you go? "
Although this question was spoken softly, in Xiao Lin's ears it was no less than the sound of thunder on a clear sky!
He subconsciously followed her words and thought about it.
Yes, where did all the power they lost go?
The answer soon became apparent.
At my father's place.
Both the Xie family and the Zhang family have the merit of following the dragon, and sometimes they are even suspected of being superior to their master!
At the beginning, the father was just a prince who no one cared about, and the mother and concubine had an unknown family background and died young, so they had no sense of existence among the many princes.
Rather than saying that he chose the Xie family and the Zhang family, it is better to say that the Xie family and the Zhang family chose him. He was the chosen one. Therefore, between these two prominent families, there was no words that a normal prince should have. right.
Later, after being supported and ascended to the throne, the Xie family and Zhang family were granted the title of marquis and prime minister, taking over the three provinces and six ministries.
As an emperor, Emperor Xiao, although he was not ostracized, did not have the real power that a monarch should have.
Now, he finally has it!
So, what’s next?
Xiao Lin didn't dare to think any more and just stared at Su Li.
Su Li knew that he was frightened, so he kept talking and continued.
"Your Highness, I have been married to the Gu family for half a year, and I heard some very interesting things from my eldest brother Gu Qiancheng..."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Lin asked hoarsely.
"To be precise, these things are not interesting, but cruel..." Su Li sighed softly, "Your Highness should know that Gu Qiancheng is the eldest son and the one who should inherit the throne. Stepmother Fang After marrying in, a rumor began to circulate in the house that the uncle intended to pass the title of heir apparent to his concubine, Gu Zizhi, saying that Gu Zizhi was much better than Gu Qiancheng in every aspect!"
When she said this, she looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Your Highness, what do you think happened to Gu Qiancheng and Gu Zizhi after this statement?"
Xiao Lin didn't answer.
The outcome of these two people is obvious.
Su Li continued: "After hearing this, Gu Qiancheng felt a sense of crisis, and Gu Zijie had desires. In order to compete for the position of the prince, the two fought openly and secretly, trying their best to show off in front of the uncle. They fought until the end, and Gu Zijie Qian Cheng was blind, and Gu Zijie was lame and disabled, so he couldn't take the position of the heir apparent. Therefore, the title naturally fell to the youngest son of the Gu family, Gu Mingxuan, who was the second-in-law! What about Gu Mingxuan? You don’t have to do anything, you get everything easily!”
After she finished speaking, the room fell into deathly silence!
"You...you girl..." Mrs. Xie looked at Su Li and stammered, "You really dare to say anything!"
"But my subordinates feel that what Xiao Douya said seems to have been through what we have experienced..." Li Rufeng swallowed the rest of his words halfway through, and turned his head to look at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin's mind was buzzing at this moment, as if there were ten thousand bees flying!
Every bee is repeating Su Li's words: Gu Mingxuan got all this easily without doing anything!
"So, has your grandfather ever said who is the person who might get all this easily?" Xiao Lin asked hoarsely.
Su Li took a deep breath and said the name that had been pressing in his heart: "Xiao Jue!"
"How is this possible?" Mrs. Xie waved her hands in shock, "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Why does the old lady need to make a conclusion so early?" Su Li said softly, "Your Highness can investigate. If the facts are not the case, then everyone will be happy! But if the facts are really the case..."
She didn't say any more.
Xiao Lin didn't ask any more questions.
Mrs. Xie and Li Rufeng Chengying also fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Xiao Linfang raised his head and looked at Su Li.
Su Li looked at him quietly.
Xiao Lin looked at her, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
Reason told him not to trust a little girl's words easily.
After all, she is not in the court and she does not understand political affairs.
However, from the moment she spoke, he unconsciously believed her. Although he was emotionally unwilling to believe that what she said was the truth, he completely listened to her words in his heart!
"If it's as you said, then the defeat of Changlin's army..." He thought of a certain possibility, and his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly for an instant, almost bursting!
"People's girls are ignorant, but people's girls know one thing. The person who profited from this defeat will definitely not be clean!" Su Li replied word by word.
"The person who profited from this defeat..." Xiao Lin repeated her words word for word.
Qi Zheng!
This is the second time we have come to such a conclusion!
Xiao Lin clenched his fists and felt stiff all over.
The frightening "bees" began to buzz and fly around his ears again, and their stingers pricked his eardrums, causing unbearable pain.
Although he tried his best to suppress it, the tapping sound of his teeth still came out of his mouth unconsciously.
If this is true...
No, it won't!
However, the facts are there...
Xiao Lin was having a war between heaven and man in her heart, Mrs. Xie was also frightened and inexplicable, and the room fell into dead silence again.
Su Li didn't speak any more.
She walked out slowly.
What she just said can be said to be sensational and earth-shattering!
They need time to digest it and discern the dark calculations within it.
In the room, the two masters and two servants sat there, saying nothing for a long time.
After a long time, Mrs. Xie said in a trembling voice: "Prince, tell me, is what she said true? I still think it's impossible!"
"I don't know whether it's true or not right now, but there is one thing she said rightly..." Xiao Lin said in a seductive voice, "I and Prince Zhao have been at each other's throats for so many years. If you calculate carefully, we are indeed consuming each other and gradually declining! This One thing is beyond doubt!"
He began to count the people and positions he had lost.
"Prince Zhao took action first and got rid of my teacher, which made me lose a hand! Later, the Taifu was replaced. This person is my father's man. He only listens to my father's orders and never acts for my benefit!"
"I avenged the Taifu and got rid of his grandfather Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang previously held the post of left prime minister. After his death, my father appointed Zhang Zongyu as the left prime minister. What kind of virtue is this man? After today's events, It couldn’t be clearer!”
"After that, there will be a cycle of similar events. Today I will stab King Zhao with a sword, and tomorrow King Zhao will chop me with a sword. We will continue to lose in the battles with each other, and where is the father?"
He grinned, "The Zhang family and the Xie family originally accounted for half of the three provinces and six ministries. Are there any who are now in positions of real power?"
"No more!" Mrs. Xie replied hoarsely, "There's not one left!"
