Chapter 466: Chapter 467

But Gu Shao’s reply was even more outrageous than Emperor Duanhua had imagined, “Jian Lezhi’s people told His Highness King Liang that when His Majesty sent His Highness King Liang to persuade Prince Yi Jing, he was actually planning to send someone to secretly follow him to the Yi King’s residence and assassinate His Highness King Liang and Prince Yi Jing at the same time and then slandered the two kings of Su Xiang as the masterminds of the assassination! !”

“After all, His Highness the King of Liang is the first emperor’s own son, and the first emperor has always loved blood and bone, Su Xiang two kings that year blatantly seized the crown, the first emperor before his death, and still remembered, for them to seek a way out! What’s more, His Highness the King of Liang is certainly not meritorious to the gods of the earth and grain, in the late emperor in the time, but has never shown any selfishness?”

The death of a King Yi Jing would make Emperor Xianjia angry, but only angry there was no way he would do anything to his own son just to give King Yi Jing justice.

But if the King of Liang also died, even if that would make Emperor Xianjia’s health not too good anymore, how could it be good?

If the two kings of Su Xiang were deemed to have plotted against their own brothers, even if Emperor Xianjia would not kill them, they would certainly have nothing to do with the throne.

There might not even be a chance to sharpen the Duanhua Emperor.

This reasoning Duanhua Emperor naturally understands, but he was dumbfounded, “The king of Liang he … believed such nonsense?!”

Not to mention whether Emperor Duanhua is the kind of person who takes his own brother’s life to pave the way for himself, and also not to mention where Emperor Duanhua got the confidence to hide the truth in front of Emperor Xianjia as well as the dynasty and the countryside, but just to say that this statement itself is very problematic: the people from the two kings of Su Xiang assassinated King Yi Jing, and could still barely explain that King Yi Jing chose Emperor Duanhua and pissed off those two sides.

But why did they kill King Liang?

What is this if not cutting off your own future!

After all, even though King Liang was Emperor Duanhua’s sibling brother, he had never shown much talent.

Killing him wouldn’t weaken Emperor Duanhua in any way, instead it would completely enrage Emperor Xianjia, how stupid would one have to be to do such a thing?

“At that time, the two kings of Su Xiang were intent on seizing the throne, His Highness the King of Su had the support of Empress Su and the Duke of Ji, Qiu Shuxia and others; behind His Highness the King of Xiang was His Highness the Grand Princess of Dai Guo with the Ji Clan’s faction.” However, Gu Shao calmly said, “Please think to Your Majesty, assuming that Your Majesty is really abolished as the Crown Prince, these two kings, what will happen?”

Then, of course, the covenant breaks down and they duke it out again!

Emperor Duanhua mused, a vague clarity in his heart, but it was as if he was separated by a mist, unable to gain complete insight.

Gu Shao looked in his eyes and secretly sighed: this emperor s qualifications … really call for people to worry!

He waited for a while, and seeing that Emperor Duanhua still didn’t get it, he had to put the words in his own mouth, “If it’s just the two kings of Su Xiang who are fighting for the crown, then under normal circumstances, King Xiang would definitely not be able to compete with King Su!”

Because King Su’s qualifications were above those of all his brothers, and because he was the first son of the Middle Palace, his supporters were also stronger than the Grand Princess and her wife of the Daikoku Kingdom so it was no surprise that King Xiang was definitely no match for King Su!

So the question is, this is obvious to the discerning eye, how do the Grand Princess and her wife of the Daikoku Kingdom have no idea in their hearts?

“Please think again, Your Majesty: according to what Jian Lezhi said, His Highness King Liang and Prince Yi Jing were assassinated at the same time in the Yi Wang Mansion, and when it was found out afterward that the mastermind was His Highness King Su, what would be the outcome?”

Gu Shao inspired to this point, how Duanhua Emperor understood, “King Su will surely incur Father’s wrath! Although Father will not kill him, he will also lose the chance to seize the crown!”

The problem was that originally King Su, as the first son, or the outstanding first son, failed to become the Eastern Palace, and was already in a very awkward and dangerous situation.

The seizure of the Crown Prince had only begun when he was out of the game did he and his supporters just go their separate ways and silently watch from now on as King Xiang challenged for the Crown Prince’s position on his own?

That’s certainly not going to happen.

“King Su in this situation has two choices: one is to simply defect to me; the other is to go all out to support King Xiang!”

“Even if not everyone chooses King Xiang, any number of people who do so will be an opportunity for King Xiang’s faction to expand their power!”

“And when King Su has been thoroughly beaten down, my side will then announce that King Xiang is the real mastermind, and King Xiang’s downfall can be imagined!”

“Even if doing so will clear the suspicion for King Su, however, after such a toss, King Su’s faction will not fail to be greatly injured, and the threat to me will be greatly reduced!”

Emperor Duanhua spoke to himself here, and really didn’t know whether to sigh helplessly or breathlessly: in fact, although this speech fabricated by Jian Lezhi sounded as if it conformed to the inference, in reality, there were quite a few breaks.

The biggest bust is, Emperor Hinjal.

Good at guessing the will of the upper such as Jane Ping Yu, good at governance such as Gu Shao, in the whole of the Xianjia dynasty, are particularly wellbehaved.

Even if Emperor Duanhua had a large number of advisors, who was he to play sibling rivalry under the eyes of Emperor Xianjia?

But King Liang is not Emperor Duanhua as mentioned earlier, apart from his posthumous son, King Qing, he is the one who has the least contact with Emperor Xianjia among all the princes.

The most unfamiliar to Emperor Xianjia.

So he couldn’t trust Emperor Xianjia like Emperor Duanhua.

He couldn’t even trust Emperor Duanhua, his fellow brother, very much after all, before Emperor Xianjia’s decree for the kings to join the court as a group, one of the siblings had been personally cultivated by Emperor Xianjia, and the other had been brought along by Empress Cui, and there hadn’t been a lot of contact.

Even after the kings entered the court, King Liang started to help Emperor Duanhua, but because of his talent, he was basically doing errands and understudy work, and was not involved in any serious matters. Moreover, at that time, Emperor Duanhua’s situation was not good, and he was often in a state of anxiety, so where did he find the time to cultivate a relationship with his younger brother?

In particular, Emperor Duanhua never dreamed that King Liang would betray himself.

Honestly, their brotherly love was sustained more by blood than by accumulation over time.

Yet royal kinship is by far the weakest in the heavens.

What’s more, Gu Shao said one more thing, “Prince Yi Jing has been dead since . A few months after the end, during the summer vacation, the Duke and Duchess of Yan had taken the two county lords Jingmin and Jinghui to the lake under Cuihua Mountain, and in the middle of it, they happened to bump into the floating corpse of concubine Shao.”

The concubine Shao is the daughterinlaw of King Yi Jing, later Yi Wangfei Yi Wangfu due to the smallpox matter, after the joint family was abolished as a concubine, this Shao Wangfei, although dead at the time, but also implicated, was cut off the status of the princess, and with the husband’s family alive a piece of the relegation to the common people.

“The commoner Shao said to the public that she died in an accident, but in reality it was the work of His Highness, the King of Liang!”

“The reason for this is that His Highness, King Liang, wanted to confirm the truth after his mind was messed up by Jian Lezhi’s words.”

“But His Highness, King Liang, did not dare to inquire from the Eastern Palace about the arrangements you made, Your Majesty, when you first sent him to the Yi Palace, so he could only start from the Yi Palace’s side.”

“At this time, he discovered that Princess Shao was having a private affair with a servant. Your Majesty is so wise that he must have known that this was in fact a chain trick by Jian Lezhi in order to lure His Highness the King of Liang to turn against His Majesty! However, King Liang is young and shallow, but he believed it!”

And after King Liang thought he had Shao’s handle and finally had a chance to lasso him, he also officially stepped into Jane Ping Yu’s trap!

Because Shao had been eaten to death by Jian Ping Yu long before she was blackmailed by King Liang!

So what King Liang would hear when he inquired with her about the circumstances surrounding King Yi Jing’s death could be imagined!

And after King Liang confirmed from here that his own brother was not good to him, he panicked and silenced Shao.

So Shao’s floating body by Jian Xubai and his party bumped into and fished up, Liang Wang under the banner of sending something to Liang Wangfei, specifically to go to find a time to find Jian Xubai set of words. As Jian Xubai suspected at the time, he was afraid that his hands and feet are not clean enough, so that Jian Xubai’s people can see what is broken when fishing for corpses, and tracked down to their own heads.

Just Song Yixiao that will be pregnant, husband and wife happy as anything, the energy is focused on the child has not yet been born, the external affairs are inevitably some negligence.

At that time, Liang Wangfei is also in the pregnancy, Jian Xubai from their own degree of human, only that Liang Wang reveals the end of the clues, is similar to their own, is out of the joy of the first time a father casually check, did not find the problem is even if it is.

As for why Shao’s death ended up being unsettled, it was naturally because Jian Ping Yu took a hand in secretly revealing the matter of Shao’s affair with her subordinate servant to the people of Yi Wangfu.

Yi royal family for the sake of face, but also because Shao horizontal has died, naturally want to cover up the past.

And as the Yi Wangfu has never been noticed, they themselves announced that the matter had been clearly investigated Shao’s mother’s family was not a high official, her husband’s family was trembling, and naturally, no one stood up and demanded that the cause of her death be thoroughly investigated.

The matter was, thus, clouded.

“After His Highness King Liang killed the concubine Shao, although he was wary of His Majesty, he hadn’t made up his mind to plot against him at that time either.” Gu Shao continued, “But just when His Highness King Liang was hesitating, Jian Lezhi made a bet with him about something!”

Said here, Gu Shao pondered for a while, before continuing, “This matter …Before the minister spoke out, but asked His Majesty for forgiveness!”

He knelt down as he spoke, “Because this matter involves the honor of Empress Cui!”

“… “When Emperor Duanhua heard this, he was first taken aback, and after thinking about it for a moment, his face changed!

After a while, the emperor resisted the urge to vomit blood, and said in a false support, “Minister Gu is the legacy of the late emperor, is my backbone, and a piece of hard work for me, what words can not be said? There is no harm in speaking freely!”

Sure enough, after Gu Shao rose, thanked the grace, followed by speaking, “A year before the death of the late emperor, Cui Hua Mountain during the summer vacation, the generation of the country’s Grand Princess was due to the matter of the Marquis of Boling Lady, ‘by mistake’ revealed the eyes of Empress Dowager Cui inserted around the side of the Queen Mother, which led to the Empress Dowager’s wrath not to mention that even the late emperor also was very dissatisfied!”

“At that time, in order to turn the situation around, Empress Cui wanted to lend a hand to Her Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin.”

“But Her Highness, the Grand Princess of Jin, has never asked about court affairs.”

“So Lady Cui thought of Princess Su, who would still be unmarried in Yunying!”

“Empress Cui had discussed with His Majesty to covertly poison and kill Consort Liang who behaved inappropriately, and then renew the marriage of King Liang to the Grand Princess of Jin’s most favored ‘righteous daughter’ …”

When Gu Shao said this, he saw that Emperor Duanhua was already turning blue, and he wisely stopped and didn’t say any more.

“…!!!” Emperor Duanhua held the case, his expression changing for a long time before he asked morosely, “This matter, where did you learn about it?!”

No wonder the emperor had already heard so many horrifying inside information, but at this moment, he still changed color after all, what Gu Shao had said before was that other people were playing tricks and using all kinds of venomous means, but now this is said, DuanHua emperor can also have a part in it!

The mention was made by Empress Cui, however, he had acquiesced in the end at that time!

Taking the life of his younger daughterinlaw to pave the way for himself, or the younger daughterinlaw who is pregnant, this kind of thing, even if it is only the ruler and the minister at the moment, and Gu Shao is a trustworthy veteran minister, when he frankly put it forward, how can the Duanhua Emperor treat it in a normal way?
