"How did you know this secret of mine? Tell me!"
Yang Shu's heart was in a mess at this time, and he had countless thoughts. The most common one was to immediately call for people to kill the guy in front of him. But with a calm mind, he quickly suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and used the time he had just pretended to read the files to get over the matter.
Like every generation of emperors of the Jingjiu Dynasty, Yang Shu was definitely a very smart person, even though his personality was somewhat different due to his upbringing. He was also a sophisticated and thoughtful manipulator.
Although Yang Shu's first reaction was to kill Shen Hao to silence him, he immediately rejected it. Because the next thought that came to his mind was the word "opportunity".
From a previous chat with Yang Xiusheng, Yang Shu learned that Shen Hao, who became the foreign affairs deacon of Fenghong Villa, was very interested in historical events. He even visited the library of Wanjuan Shushan and consulted it when he went to Wanjuan Shushan. They are also documents related to history, especially the past events of the previous dynasty that were covered up by the sect and the country.
In fact, Yang Shu only knew about that past incident not long ago. After ascending the throne, he came into contact with "Chi", the biggest secret of the royal family, and also learned about the past between "Chi" and the royal family. It was this past event that made successive emperors of the country choose to cover up a sensitive history of the previous dynasty.
It has been covered up like this for thousands of years, and that period of history has long been forgotten by most people. Perhaps only those with interests know what happened back then. And there are many things that are not recorded in ordinary texts at all.
If Yang Shu had the same character as any previous Jing Dynasty emperor, he would not have any idea about Shen Hao's "unpopular" interest. But the problem is that Yang Shu's character is different from that of any emperor before Jingjiu Dynasty.
Although he was born in the royal family, his life has been suppressed since childhood, and he has been growing up in depression and difficulties. Then he found another way out of despair, and in the eyes of others with ridicule and disdain, he found support for his power from merchants and emerging nobles, and finally reversed the situation.
This complex experience gave Yang Shu a strong heart that dared to subvert all common sense.
Therefore, why should he passively accept the possession of "Chi" and suffer miserably on the throne for the rest of his life, and this pain will become more and more severe? Does he even need to push his own descendants into this pit of fire? The reason is simply because of the agreement between the royal ancestors and this "Chi", and the fact that "Chi" can forcefully regulate the emperor's behavior like a spell.
The euphemistic name is: maintaining the prosperity of the old Jing Dynasty for thousands of years.
Pooh!
The thought in Yang Shu's heart was three words: Why!
But there was almost no room for resistance. Because once Yang Shu had thoughts of resistance or thought too much about this aspect, he would immediately be painfully punished and tortured by "Chi" attached to him in the form of a "red spider web". Because this idea goes against the agreement between "Chi" and the royal family and needs to be curbed.
Therefore, Yang Shu felt unhappy, dissatisfied, and unwilling, so he could only hide it and did not dare to think about it in his mind. It wasn't until he heard about Shen Hao's interest in the history of the previous dynasty that he suddenly felt like he saw an opportunity. So in the name of "reward", Shen Hao was given a gold medal from the "Royal Library". On the surface, it seemed to be satisfying Shen Hao's interests, but in fact, it was pushing Shen Hao behind his back.
Don’t you want to know the secrets of history? Go to the Royal Library, there's what you want. Moreover, Yang Shu knew the scale well. After all, the things placed in the library do not involve the fundamentals of the secret. They can be used as a test to see if Shen Hao understands his intentions.
The result was very good. In a subsequent interview, Shen Hao clearly hinted that he understood Yang Shu's intentions. He was obviously focusing on the fact that the state had covered up, and he hinted that he would continue to investigate.
Here Yang Shu has to say that Shen Hao is spiritual enough. He chose the hint method to give guidance to Shen Hao, and Shen Hao also honestly chose the hint method to respond. This avoids the possibility of being detected by "Chi". Dealing with smart people is so smooth.
But... a note that Shen Hao suddenly hid today shocked Yang Shu. Is he sure that he has not exposed any flaws in this matter to others? Why does Shen Hao know? ! And the note also mentioned the word "evil beast".
This...is this the direction this guy found in such a short period of time? !
It's not that there are no other suspicions, but Shen Hao's background is too clean, and his family lineage and growth history are clear. He cannot be a member of the sect or the royal family, so he has absolutely no knowledge of the secrets of the royal family. Maybe they knew in advance that they were deliberately digging a hole, so it can only be explained as "forcibly" finding out, or to use a word that Xuan Qingwei often used in reports: deduction.
If that's the case then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
But these couldn't be revealed yet. Yang Shu was thinking quickly in his mind, and finally couldn't help but fall on the strange environment of this cell.
This is obviously not the hot spring pool of Fu'an Palace, so why does it have a better "relieving" effect than the hot spring of Fu'an Palace? No, it’s not relief, but temporary “elimination”! Yang Shu felt no pain from "red" here. That means this place has similar effects to Fu'an Palace Wen Tang, but the effect is even stronger!
In addition, the emperors of the Jingjiu Dynasty of all dynasties had tried to figure out the idea behind the Fu'an Palace underground, but they had all been shelved due to concerns, and Yang Shu was the same. But here, in this prison cell, it's different. It must be clarified.
That's why Yang Shu had a good reason not to kill Shen Hao immediately and silence him. Instead, he chose to settle down and pretend to continue to complete the purpose of venting his anger on this tour. After that, he sent everyone around him away. He wanted to hear what Shen Hao had to say.
In fact, Shen Hao understood that the emperor would not show his sword to him immediately when he saw the emperor pretending not to see the note. I knew in my heart that the first step of my plan was completed.
"Your Majesty, the secret of the "spider web" on your body was told by the previous minister when he interrogated Ye Lansheng. According to him, he got the news from the palace." After saying that, Shen Hao quickly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this Only I know the news now.”
Shen Hao did not lower his head, and his eyes met the emperor's scrutiny without evading it.
After a while, Yang Shu snorted, but did not ask such stupid questions as "Why didn't you report it before?" Who would be stupid enough to show off the emperor's secret after knowing it? Do you think you have a long life?
"Ye Lansheng... did it spread from the palace?" Yang Shu thought about it for a while and got a rough idea. A sneer rose from the corner of his mouth. This time it is impossible to say that a group of people in the palace must die to reassure him.
Then he asked: "What happened to the evil beast? Shen Hao, you are a smart man. You don't need me to explain the pros and cons to you, but you should understand what your note means, right?"
