Although it is embarrassing, the words are rough but not rough.
Yang Mingzhi is really thinking about what Xu Qing just said.
The mission before the war started.
Before the mission set off, the Yang family and Emperor Zhou had clearly agreed to assassinate the two princes and princesses who were more common than common people and did not even have titles in the palace. They could only be an eyesore.
Moreover, this was what Emperor Zhou took the initiative to inform them for discussion at that time.
But after returning, the one who was assassinated turned out to be the legitimate son of their Zhou Kingdom.
I still remember that when the envoys of the State of Zhou rode into the capital of the State of Chu, they were threatened by the shadow guards of the State of Chu. Later, when Chu and Zhou went to war, the Yang family saw the strong combat power of the State of Chu and even folk legends
The strange news that Zhou State deliberately provoked trouble made him make a wrong guess.
That is, it was indeed the Chu State that sent assassins to assassinate the legitimate son of the Yang family without anyone noticing, and then used the newspapers published by the Chu State to shake people's hearts.
The people of Zhou State were made to think that the war was a ploy by the imperial court to drag them into the war.
But Chu State naturally inherited the great righteousness, and Zhou State became a sinister villain in the eyes of the world. The purpose of this war was to use Zhou State to test their new weapons and obtain massive compensation.
But now, after Yang Mingzhi heard Xu Qing's words and combined them with His Majesty's actions in the past few months, Yang Mingzhi had new guesses.
That is to say, the Chu State did not take action. What really took action was the assassin secretly sent by their Emperor.
The purpose is to make the Yang family full of anger and determination to start the war. If the Yang family wins, Your Majesty will become a wise and wise king who can regain the lost territory of Zhou Kingdom.
He is not at a loss.
If the Zhou Kingdom were defeated, the Emperor of Zhou could also take the opportunity to blame the Yang family for the failure of the war, and take the opportunity to suppress the Yang family, which had dominated the court for many years.
He is not at a loss either, because the Yang family will bear the blame.
Although one city will be lost (the other can be redeemed) and a huge amount of compensation will be paid, it has suppressed a major problem that has not had time to have any objections.
And compared to the late emperor who lost two cities, it was already good that he only lost one.
Although both of them did not do very well during their reign, let's compare it to this.
Compared with the previous emperor, His Majesty's achievements today are still remarkable.
People want to make progress little by little, and the same goes for emperors. Maybe the next emperor will not lose a city, but the next emperor will be able to conquer cities and territories, right?
The people of Zhou, who had never defeated Chu, had long been used to it.
…
Yang Mingzhi looked at Xu Qing and asked: "You said the Sixth Prince can avenge my Yang family? Why?"
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi and said, "What is the character of the Sixth Prince?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "As far as my Yang family knows, the sixth prince is submissive, but he loves his sister Princess Mingyue very much. In order to protect Princess Mingyue, he did not hesitate to violate etiquette and let her live in the house when he was on a mission.
Dean Xu’s home, am I right?”
Xu Qing did not have any surprises and continued: "But the legitimate son of your Zhou family assassinated his sister under the instruction of your emperor, but fortunately, my wife stopped him. He remembers this matter."
When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he suddenly became worried and said, "Although those assassins were ordered by His Majesty, they were ordered by Zhou'er. Wouldn't he hate my Yang family because of this?"
Xu Qing said: "But the legitimate son of your Zhou family died. This repayment is almost enough, but Emperor Zhou, who was the mastermind behind the scenes, still said well."
"In the eyes of the sixth prince, anyone who dares to do harm to his sister is his enemy, including the one on the throne. The enemy of his enemy is his friend. Emperor Zhou wants to get rid of your Yang family. The sixth prince is currently the only one.
A prince who has the courage to attack the emperor, should Yang Zheng make him consider it?"
Even if the Yang family abandons literature and turns to martial arts and continues to exist in the court, although the foundation is still there, it will definitely be severely damaged. And the Zhou army has just experienced a big defeat, which is not easy to do. How could the Zhou family not want to
Take revenge on this emperor?
He told Xu Qing so many bad things about the Emperor of Zhou, and the high official of Zhou could listen with interest for so long. Xu Qing felt that this matter was serious.
Yang Mingzhi considered Xu Qing's words carefully and said: "Yes, His Majesty wants to suppress our Yang family's family business that has been established for many years. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart. The sixth prince is indeed the only one among many princes who dares to
People who fight against His Majesty, but Dean Xu seems to have been ignoring one thing."
Xu Qing asked: "What happened?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "What is the possibility of the success of the Yang family? For such a concubine prince, who does not even have a title and is forgotten in the corner, does he have a chance of success?"
Xu Qing's eyes were complicated and he said: "Are you still planning to let the Sixth Prince climb up the ladder step by step? Why do you think your Yang family wants to go to the army? Isn't it... Do you still need me to be so clear about this kind of thing? What if you really want to be the prince first?
After successfully ascending the throne, all of you emperors went to Paradise for a stroll, why are you still looking for revenge?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "Your Majesty is guarding the Yang family. Have you considered how long it will take for the Yang family to climb to this position?"
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty is guarding against the Yang family who dominated the court when they were civil servants."
Yang Mingzhi: "Then our Yang family will be stigmatized as rebels."
Xu Qing: "If you win, you will be the ministers of the Dragon."
Yang Mingzhi: "The Sixth Prince is a commoner, even if he does this, how likely is it to succeed?"
Xu Qing: "As long as the prince is still in the palace, he has the possibility of succeeding to the throne."
When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he was slightly startled.
As long as the prince in the palace...has the possibility of succeeding...
Is this sentence wrong?
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all!
Although the Sixth Prince still lived in a remote palace in the palace after his return, he came back alive!
Since Your Majesty could send assassins to kill the legitimate son of the Yang family, why didn't you just deal with the sixth prince?
If your Majesty really feels that it is unnecessary, you can simply order the assassin to kill him in Chu Kingdom, or you can just seal him in a desolate place, out of sight, out of mind, and you can even intercept him on the road as a horse bandit if you don't want to waste the cover.
But His Majesty just let such an adult prince stay in the palace.
Just after the Sixth Prince came back and finished his duties, His Majesty was not at all disappointed.
If in the past it could be explained that the Sixth Prince's sense of presence was too low, His Majesty couldn't remember it at all, but this time he has come to report his duties in front of you, so he should have remembered it, right?
But there was still no reward or punishment, and he was allowed to live in the palace.
There are only two adult princes left in the palace now, one is the prince, and the other is the sixth prince...
The prince does not have titles or fiefdoms, and the sixth prince also does not...
It’s terrifying to think about it!
Yang Mingzhi looked at Xu Qing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked: "Why does Dean Xu give these instructions to my Yang family?"
Xu Qing pursed her lips and said, "Princess Mingyue lived in my home for a while when she returned to China. I..."
When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "Is it possible that Anding County Uncle likes Princess Mingyue?"
But this is not surprising. This is the age when love begins. Living under the same roof with each other, it is inevitable that feelings will arise...
Xu Qing's eyes were complicated and she said: "My wife likes..."
