Zheng Ji's eyes showed curiosity and he looked at Zheng Che carefully without saying a word.
Her second emperor brother was named Prince Ping. Everyone from his father to the ordinary officials thought that this title was very suitable for him.
Even she, who has lived two lifetimes, thinks this is the case.
But at this moment, she knew she was wrong.
The mother concubine is one of the four concubines, the Virtuous Concubine. As a nobleman of Tianhuang, how can he be mediocre?
However, first there was the crown prince who was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and then there was her, the much-anticipated Princess Changding. Under the light of the two of them, all the princes and princesses were overshadowed.
Therefore, everyone thinks that the Second Emperor Brother is worthy of his name as "Ping Wang".
In fact, how is he mediocre?
At this moment, he intercepted her here and revealed in his words the connection between the craftsmen of the Xue family and Vice President Zhou, in order to lead her to investigate the Xue family, and then Empress Xue and the prince.
When he did this, he did not make any cover-up, and the queen and prince would definitely know about it soon.
But so what?
This just proves that he, Prince Ping, is indeed mediocre and incompetent.
If the prince cares about such a person, he will be lowering his status and falling into a disadvantage.
As for her, everyone knows that Princess Changding is arrogant and willful. In order to stand up for the husband she values, she will definitely bite Vice President Zhou and the Xue family.
Naturally, she and her mother-in-law would fight with Queen Xue and the prince.
The fight between the two means that the fisherman, the second emperor brother, will benefit.
Among all this, what the Second Emperor Brother had to pay was actually a loss of reputation.
Originally, he had no reputation in the court, so he didn't have to pay anything.
This is really well calculated and really generous.
It can be seen from my father that temporary gains and losses, honor and disgrace really don't matter, the winner is the one who laughs in the end.
Is this what the second emperor brother, who is considered to be extremely mediocre, has in mind?
Facing Zheng Ji's probing gaze, Zheng Che did not dodge and replied with a smile: "If Nine Emperor Sisters are curious, you can go and investigate. I have to see my mother and concubine, so I'll leave first."
After that, he walked away without waiting for Zheng Ji's response.
It seemed that he intercepted Zheng Ji just to reveal this information.
He didn't care whether she believed it or not, whether she went to check or not.
Zheng Ji knew that he was using her as a raft and taking advantage of her, but...she really wanted to bite the bait.
On the surface, this fits her current character.
Privately, she did want to know what was going on with Deputy Zhou and the Xue family craftsmen.
The Xue bed crossbow in her previous life was too similar to the bed crossbow developed by Fengju now. This alone made her have to pay attention to the Xue family.
From this point of view, she has to thank the Second Emperor Brother.
If he hadn't dropped this bait, she wouldn't have known that Vice President Zhou was originally from Xuzhou. She would definitely investigate this further.
She told Shi Dingfang the news that Zhou Yucheng was from Xuzhou, and soon Shi Dingfang found out the whole story.
This was not mentioned in the information previously investigated by Chang Dingsu because Zhou Yucheng's time in Xuzhou was really short.
Before and after, it was only a matter of years.
In Zhou Yucheng's life experience, this is really nothing, so he ignored it for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the Xue family's craftsmen were from Xuzhou, no one would have cared about the fact that Zhou Yucheng was in Xuzhou.
This also illustrates the carefulness of the second emperor brother.
He thought it was a clue that no one else had noticed, and connected it with the prince. This intention alone was better than many princes.
"Your Highness, there is no trace of the interactions between Deputy Zhou and the Xue family." Shi Dingfang reported.
Xuzhou is a strategic place, and many officials in the imperial dynasty came from Xuzhou, so it doesn't mean that Zhou Yucheng came from Xuzhou.
Shi Dingfang's meaning is very clear, and Prince Ping's words must be carefully considered.
Zheng Ji nodded: "This is the truth of kindness. @ "
However, there are no other clues about this matter. This week, Vice President Zhou Yucheng made a breakthrough.
mouth. _o_m
She thought for a while and then went to find Zheng Qiong, the other deputy master.
Zheng Qiong was summoned by the Yushitai, and because of Uncle Wang's death, she already knew that she was a pawn in the game, and she wanted to find out the truth.
Hearing Zheng Ji's inquiry, he shook his head subconsciously: "No way, it can't be Deputy Zhou. He...he is focused on weapons, so there is no way he would do such a thing."
Although he and Zhou Yucheng don't get along, this is purely a matter of their personalities and there is no personal grudge.
Zhou Yucheng was strict in doing things, accepting death and not knowing how to adapt. He also focused on weapons. He believed that in order for Wuge soldiers to improve, they must first improve their use of weapons.
Therefore, Zhou Yucheng has focused on improving the weapons of the martial arts pavilion in these years.
In Zheng Qiong's view, this is a matter of Weiwei Temple. Zhou Yucheng has put the cart before the horse. This is definitely not the future development direction of Wuge, so he has great opinions on Zhou Yucheng.
Zheng Qiong is the person Zhao Shuao relies on, which in itself explains his attitude.
Therefore, Zhao Shuao did not agree with Zhou Yucheng, the deputy pavilion master.
Zhou Yucheng himself knew this very well and was not close to Zhao Shuao. Instead, he became closer to Mr. Shi.
But that's it. If Zhou Yucheng pretended to be the master of the pavilion and summoned people, killed people and silenced them, Zheng Qiong felt it was impossible.
Because, there is no reason!
Weiwei Temple was in turmoil because of this. What good would it do to Zhou Yucheng?
"It's not impossible. After the turmoil in Weiwei Temple, there will definitely be a shortage of personnel. Since Zhou Yucheng has the talent to develop weapons, he may be given an official position, and he has been on the rise since then."
Judging from the final result of the theft of weapons from Weiwei Temple, the biggest beneficiary was the official who rose to power as a result.
But she didn't know who these high-ranking officials were, so it was difficult to identify the instigators behind the scenes.
As she said, Zhou Yucheng also had a motive.
"..." Zheng Qiong's tone was suffocated, but she still insisted on her opinion: "Your Highness, it is still impossible. There is no reason for Vice-President Zhou to have trouble with Mr. Du Duan."
Even if Zhou Yucheng wants to enter Weiwei Temple, there are many ways, why should he set up such a big trap and go in such a big circle?
Zheng Ji smiled and did not refute Zheng Qiong's words.
If Zhou Yucheng had contacts with the craftsmen of the Xue family, then the person who set up such a big situation was the Xue family, so the higher-ranking officials were from the prince's line.
The prince was versatile in both civil and military affairs and was kind-hearted to the people. His reputation in the court was very high. There was no prince who could compare with him.
More importantly, the father also has great trust and respect for the prince.
In such a situation, the best thing for the prince to do is to do nothing. Would a prince who is versatile in both civil and military affairs not understand this truth?
In this case, does the prince still need to set up Weiwei Temple?
Zheng Ji frowned, feeling that the words of the second emperor brother actually added a layer of confusion to the matter. .
