"Assassination?" Jin Miaomiao couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Where did this old lady come from? Where did a woman who had lived in a deep palace for most of her life find an assassin? Moreover, how courageous was this assassin? It's quite big. If you dare to assassinate the emperor and the prince, no matter whether you succeed or not, their family will be implicated. How many heads are not enough to chop off!"
"You have so many questions, let me answer them slowly for you." Shen Cha knocked on the table lightly, "The background of this old queen mother is indeed extraordinary. Her mother-in-law was the leader of the former royal secret organization. "
"The royal secret organization of the former dynasty?" Jin Miaomiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "That makes sense, it is an organization like the Black Armor Battalion and Shadow."
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "But the situation of this organization in the previous dynasty is still very different from that of the Black Armor Battalion and Shadow. Black Armor's business is good, and Shadow is good, both are mainly about protection and gathering information. Yes, unless someone is short-sighted, commits a serious crime, and threatens the safety of the protected person, they will take counterattack. But this organization headed by the Queen Mother's family is exactly the opposite. They do not focus on protecting royal members, nor on detecting The main focus is on news, but mainly on assassinations, specifically for the former royal family to get rid of some ministers they think have evil intentions."
"Ha!" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "Don't you think it's ironic? An organization whose purpose is to assassinate those who are disloyal, finally turns its sword on the people it serves, and thinks it is a loyal minister."
"Don't be so eager to ridicule. I haven't finished speaking yet. You continue to listen." Shen Cha waved his hand towards Jin Miaomiao, "In fact, the members of such an organization are replaced very quickly. At the peak of their heyday, they were like In a few years, no more than twelve years at most, they will give way to the younger generation. And these people who retire have only one choice, continue to serve their leader and work hard for their leader."
"I understand." Jin Miaomiao snapped her fingers, "The assassins sent by the old lady to kill Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were the ones who retired."
"Yes, these people are alone. They have no family, no wives, children, and children, and no worries. Even if the incident fails, there are no nine tribes to be implicated. However, in fact, this assassination failed, and all the assassins, a total of twenty people, were killed. He committed suicide by taking poison.”
"No one was caught alive?"
"According to King Tong's memoirs, it is true that not a single person was caught alive. But even so, Emperor Jiaren knew very well who the mastermind behind the assassination was."
"Are you so sure?"
"Only the old lady knows the route of their trip." Shen Haolin added, "Emperor Jiaren has two servants who are responsible for sweeping. Because of the assassination incident, they were investigated and found to be spies sent by the old lady. All their routes will be revealed in advance by these two chamberlains to the assassins who have been following the private visit team."
"What does this old lady want? She killed her own son and grandson to support an unrelated person to sit on the throne?"
"Why is it irrelevant? It's not like she only has one grandson, Emperor Chongde. There are so many grandsons waiting in line to be descended from heaven. She can just pick one who is willing to listen to her and be manipulated by her. ? It doesn’t matter whether she has the ability to be an emperor or not. She has the means herself, and she can listen to politics behind the curtain and control the government by herself."
"Ha! Haha!" Jin Miaomiao couldn't help but sneer, "Listening to the government behind the curtain and controlling the government is her real purpose, right? After going around in such a long circle, is it just for this, right?"
"Maybe!"
"However, neither Emperor Chongde nor Prince Tong mentioned this assassination in their diaries. Was it because the family scandal should not be publicized, or because of something else?"
"What else could be the reason for this? Family scandals should not be made public! Moreover, Emperor Jiaren should have reminded them that even if they know who the mastermind behind the scenes is, they must pretend not to know. Otherwise, when they return to Xijing and the palace, they will encounter There will be more trouble."
"After reading Prince Tong's memoirs, Emperor Jiaren was not as useless as I thought, but he was indeed a very selfish person." Shen Haolin sighed, "He doesn't like being an emperor, and he doesn't like being restrained and stared at. He likes to live a free life. But because his elder brother passed away early, and his younger brother escaped from this luxurious prison because of his mother's overly focused and overbearing love, he had no choice but to brave it on his own. So, when Emperor Chongde was born and he saw that vision, he felt that he was finally free."
"But in order to prevent his mother from succeeding, he waited until Emperor Chongde could really take charge of the court on his own before leaving." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, "This is the most selfish person this person has ever done in his life. The most selfless thing."
"Indeed." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "But didn't Emperor Jiaren continue to investigate?"
"What are you pursuing? Do you want to be punished?" Shen Cha shook his head, "No, although the relationship between mother and son is still not very harmonious, they did not expose it in person. I remember that there is a record in the history books that the Empress Dowager was killed in the third year after the assassination attempt. Those who passed away, the cause of death is unknown.”
"If the cause of death is unknown, there is a lot of room for maneuver." Jin Miaomiao pouted, "I didn't expect Emperor Jiaren to be so kind and let her dance for another three years."
"It has indeed been another three years, but the old lady's goal has officially shifted from Emperor Jiaren to Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong. She feels that instead of tossing a son who has no idea about government affairs, it is better to toss an outstanding grandson. Exciting." Shen Cha saw Jin Miaomiao's confused expression again, chuckled, and explained to her, "Although I don't know how the old lady passed away, Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong met before she passed away. The last two people also spoke their true feelings to them."
"As we just said, her so-called dissatisfaction with Emperor Jiaren and her so-called love for her youngest son are all due to her unwillingness and her strong hatred for her father and her husband."
"Don't you want to enter the palace and become the imperial concubine?" Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao let out a long sigh, "I understand, the family sent her to the palace to prove their loyalty. On the surface, It's like being a royal concubine, but it's actually no different than being a proton."
"Yes, she has had a wish since she was a child, that is, she wants to be the leader of that mysterious organization. Unfortunately..." Shen Cha shook his head helplessly, "A piece of edict completely ruined her life and destroyed all her ambitions. All turned into nothing." She sighed softly, "Another pitiful and hateful person."
