Yin Jun took a sip of tea and said: "Master Yuwen, let me ask you a question. Who do you think is behind this matter? Now that we are open to talking, you can say it boldly and confidently. Come into my ears, don’t worry about anything.”
Hearing this, Yuwen Hongyuan nodded and said: "Well... when the eldest prince died, I had suspected that it was an accident. However, now that the third prince has died again, it is no longer a coincidence. Since then, the prince has died From the perspective of secret struggle, this matter is probably the result of Queen Su's hand."
How smart!
Moreover, the discerning eye is like a torch!
Yin Jun gave a thumbs up and said: "When the eldest prince died, we could still use the gimmick of punishing the culprits, demanding that the second prince and his mother who were suspected of immorality be pulled down from the altar, and then the third prince be given the title of heir apparent. opportunity. And now that the third prince is dead, even if the culprit is punished, what will change?"
"In other words, this matter is the murderous hand of Queen Su. Can we still follow the rules and go to Qingjun's side? As far as the current actual situation is concerned, no matter what the final facts are, Li Hongyu has already determined the future emperor's succession. The only candidate. The world in the future will definitely belong to him! And Queen Su’s mother is so valuable because of her son, how can we move her away? In that case, why should I try to give advice without any effort? "
Having said this, Yuwen Hongyuan suddenly became enlightened.
The most critical thing is that the candidates for the current crown prince and the future empress dowager have been decided.
Let me ask, how do you avoid it?
No matter whether you impeach or participate, it cannot change the ironclad facts.
These reasons are what Yin Jun said is the reason for futility.
After bidding farewell to Yuwen Hongyuan, Yin Jun went to Meng Jiming, Yang Gonglin, and his close staff in turn to seek numerical support and help for the upcoming court debate.
At this moment.
Whether it was the high-ranking officials in the class at the Chaotang station or the low-level official Asan who was just pretending to be a fake person, they all felt the tense atmosphere of the approaching storm.
And this aura was being reflected into the palace by Wang Zhifan, who was the commander of the internal guards at the time.
From Queen Su's point of view, this moment was the perfect opportunity she had been dreaming of.
The more fiercely the courtiers fight, the more they can take advantage of the chaos. If they all unite to investigate the prince's death, then he will be passive.
And now, it was just when they were fighting each other that they decided to get rid of the third prince. The timing was just right.
If the king is absent and the ministers are not to blame, the chaos will be over in a flash.
What a good calculation.
"My Lady, now the Liang Shoufu Group is competing with the forces of Qi and Yin, what should we do? Should we sit back and watch the fight between tigers? Or should we choose to help?"
"Don't be impatient, let's wait and see! When they fight to the point of losing both sides, wouldn't it be nice for us to take action? My principle is, whoever can be loyal to you, I will lend a hand to help. If both parties are ignorant of current affairs, If so, I will take the opportunity to eliminate them all. As the old saying goes, every emperor and his ministers are equal, and it is time for these old guys to withdraw from Dafeng politics. "
"Ah, your Majesty is so wise! But whether they are loyal or not is not written on their faces, so how can we tell?"
"It's very simple. Just try it a little and you'll understand, right?"
Test?
How to fix it?
The queen thought about it for a while and said: "The second prince's birthday is coming soon. Send an order to the imperial kitchen to roast the roe deer he hunted. Remove the front legs and give them to Liang Shoufu to taste, and then chop off the hind legs. Sent to Mrs. Weiguo's house. Both said it was the grace from Prince Hongyu. I didn't participate in anything, I just watched from the sidelines to see what their return gifts were. Through this incident, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of Their inner thoughts.”
This move has two meanings.
The first is that Sijun will give you his sincere "Hugu", will they be willing to accept it?
The second is to take the opportunity to warn them not to toast, eat or drink as a penalty, which is shameless.
Because Yin Jun had already expressed his intention to take sides before, so he was let go.
The only ones left are Liang Shoufu, who is known as an extremely powerful minister, and the Qi family, which has a large number of troops.
Before the emperor returns, he must live to win over these two major forces as much as possible. This opportunity must not be missed and the time will never come again.
At special moments, special means must be used. Whether they are old friends or strangers, they must show their loyalty and stand in line. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel.
As for the second prince who has always wanted to help Qi Xiao, it is better to put him under house arrest for the time being.
At this juncture, it was extremely inappropriate for him to show partiality.
Otherwise, I will not be able to get off the stage.
seemingly!
Above the court, three major factions suddenly appeared.
They are: the important ministers faction headed by Liang Yingzhong, the impeachment faction represented by Yin Jun, and the chestnuts in the fire faction headed by the queen.
However, Meng Lanshan, who is just like Guangchen, doesn't think so.
During today's routine greetings, Qi Yu expressed his worries about the current cliques and selfish interests in the court. The old gentleman gave a direct and explicit rebuttal.
"Shaocheng, you still don't look at things deeply enough. How can there be so many factions in this court as you mentioned?"
"Oh? Please ask my teacher for advice."
Meng Lanshan, a man with fair hair, smoothed his beard and said calmly: "Fighting in the court is nothing more than a struggle for power. The winner will stand high in the temple, and the loser will be exiled to the border. For this reason, They do not hesitate to form gangs and fight with each other. From this perspective, there are no so-called fixed factions among the officials in the court. They can change their stance at any time when the situation requires it. If not, they can only divide There are two categories: those in power and those on the sidelines, that’s all.”
What?
Those in power and those on the sidelines?
Tsk tsk, it really is a true insight!
Suddenly enlightened, Qi Yu hurriedly bowed his hands to his mentor, showing an attitude of being taught.
However, Meng Lanshan thought for a while and suddenly denied himself: "However, from now on, it is really possible that there will be two major factions!"
Qi Yu heard this and asked curiously: "What are the two major factions?"
"They are the traditional conservatives represented by the Imperial Family, and the new reformers represented by you... Once each other's interests are involved, sharp conflicts may arise between the two groups. They may even resort to unscrupulous means. "Meng Lanshan looked at the political arena and made predictions about the trend.
Qi Yu nodded and said with approval: "I have expected this for a long time. It seems that I can only take advantage of it when the time comes."
Meng Lanshan nodded and said with a smile, "It's best to have this understanding, so as not to be caught off guard." Then, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, why don't you see your majesty? Didn't you say that I have arranged for me to give him a gift?" Can you please give me a safe pulse?"
"Are you talking about the Emperor? He is currently having a private chat with Mu Ziqing. He will be here in a short while."
"You mean...he is looking for his daughter?"
"Yes, sir."
"Um……"
Meng Lanshan sighed quietly when he heard this, and actually became emotional.
