Chapter 265: Zongzheng
"The group of people who assassinated you before can be sure that they are from Xiao Feng, Hou of Zhennan."
Liu Feng looked at Wanyan He meaningfully, "This Zhennan Hou secretly sent someone to assassinate you adult princes. What do you think he is making?"
There were not many adult princes in the Wei State. Although the old emperor lived to be sixty-five years old, he was the crown prince for thirty years and gave birth to eight daughters. After ascending the throne, he gradually had a son. After decades of hard work in the harem, he got seventeen sons and thirty daughters.
Among them, there were only nine adult princes, and now all of them were killed except Wanyan He.
Wanyan He was also full of anger and fear at this time. He suddenly punched the table, "This old fox must be planning to choose a young lord from those underage princes to ascend the throne. In this way, the queen will naturally be regent behind the curtain, and then let them Xiao clan control the government. It is simply a wolf ambition!"
If it weren't for Liu Feng's help when he returned to Xu Jing this time, he might have died silently in a corner now and became a victim of Xiao Feng's siblings' power.
Thinking of this, Wanyan He bowed to Liu Feng, "If it weren't for Brother Liu, I would have been desperate to stand here now. I, Wanyan He, will always remember it!"
"Don't rush to thank me, I'm not without conditions for helping you."
Liu Feng waved his hand to help Wanyan He ascend the throne. In addition to completing the tasks, he naturally had other plans. For example, he was very interested in the two states occupied by the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Brother Liu, please rest assured. If I ascend the throne to the emperor, I will never be vague if you have any requests."
Wanyan He patted his chest and promised.
"Let's talk about it then. The army outside the city will be back soon. The most important thing you are to quickly tell Xiao Feng's conspiracy to those neutral ministers and royal families. Now that the adult princes are dead, they can only support you in ascending the throne."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Wanyan He did not dare to delay and ran away quickly.
Liu Feng looked at Wanyan He's back and couldn't help but smile. Speaking of this time, he would like to thank Zhennan Hou for reducing a lot of trouble. It's a foregone conclusion that Wanyan He will ascend the throne tomorrow.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei's actions in Xu Jing were relatively secret and did not attract Xiao Feng's attention. Otherwise, the current situation would be another scene.
······
After Wanyan He left, he immediately took people straight to the residence of Zong Zheng Wanyan Yi.
Wanyan Yi was the younger brother of the old emperor and the representative of the royal family. He has been a priest for more than 30 years and has a strong magnitude in the royal family.
If he receives his support, the other royal families will definitely have no objection.
"Greetings to the Emperor!"
"No need to be polite, sit down."
Wanyan Yi is 63 years old this year, but he is still very strong, with a young face and a long hair. A few years ago, he even brought a girl from Qi who had just turned 16 into the room. The slender waisted beauty of Qi is very famous in various countries, and many princes and nobles in Xujing are flocking to her.
"Uncle Xie!"
After Wanyan He sat down, he immediately continued: "Uncle has a big deal. I just received the news that all the adult princes in Xu Jing died of misfortune, and even the third brother and the eighth brother outside the city were no exception!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Wanyan Yi was shocked and suddenly stood up, scaring the maid behind him.
"You made it happen!"
Wanyan Yi looked at Wanyan He coldly.
Now, except for the palace, the entire Xu Jing was controlled by the nephew's army. He had to suspect that the nephew had done something extreme to ascend to the throne.
"Of course not. How could I do such a thing, Uncle Emperor? This is done by Xiao Feng, the man from Zhennan Hou!"
Wanyan He said quickly.
"Zhennan Hou?"
Wanyan Yi was stunned. He thought carefully that with Zhennan Hou's strength, he could indeed do such a thing.
"Uncle, think about it, my people are all in the city, so how can I kill the three and the eighth brothers who are protected by the army outside? This is all done by Xiao Feng. Even though I encountered assassination not long ago, I didn't let them succeed!"
"The words are unreasonable. Do you say that it was done by Zhennanhou, so is there any evidence?"
Wanyan Yi had calmed down at this time. He only believed half of Wanyan He's words. Now that the city gate is locked, he cannot get any news from outside for the time being. There is no way to know whether Wanyan Zheng and others were really killed.
After living for most of his life, Wanyan Yi thought he could see countless people, but he couldn't see through the nephew in front of him. He had been persevering for more than 20 years and waited until today to reveal his true face. This cunning is deeper than the capital of the previous emperors of the Wei Kingdom.
"No evidence was found yet, but this is true. Zhennanhou did all this with a clear purpose. He was to support a young lord ascend the throne so that their Xiao clan could control the government."
"Even if I believe you without any evidence, the old guys in the neutral group may not believe you. The most important thing at the moment is to confirm the situation outside the city. If you ask someone to open the city gate, I will ask the people from the Langdu Guard to investigate."
"OK!"
Wanyan He hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Come here! Prepare the car!"
Wanyan Yi shouted outside.
In order to save time, the two went directly to the Langdu Guard's yamen and met Tuoba Shan, the head of the Langdu Guard.
"See the prince, see the sixth prince!"
Tuoba Shan led the Langdu Guard to greet him.
"Mr. Tuoba doesn't need to be polite. I have an important matter here for you to do it quickly. I will immediately send someone outside the city to investigate the life and death of the third prince, the eighth prince and others! This matter is of great importance, so be careful! After checking it out, report it quickly!"
"yes!"
Not long after, a team of fast horses ran through the city gate and headed straight for Huangtai County.
······
The army that was returning to Xu Jing did not know what was happening in the city, and Xiao Feng, Hou of Zhennan, led the army to walk slowly.
"Marty, the people from the Langdu Guard are here!"
"Oh? Get the news so soon? Let them come!"
Xiao Feng glanced at the front and ordered.
"yes!"
The five wolf Duwei soon arrived in front of Zhennanhou, "Meet Zhennanhou!"
"Get up."
Xiao Feng had a hint of sadness on his face, "What are you here?"
The silver medal wolf guard in the lead bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we are ordered to meet the Eighth Prince. I hope the Marquis will be approved!"
Xiao Feng sighed slightly and squeezed out a few drops of crocodile tears, "You are late. The Eighth Prince died in an accident. The body is right behind. God will not bless the Great Wei."
"What!"
Chapter completed!
