Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter 105: King Jing'an Conspired?
After hearing King Jing'an's words, Duan Ming's body stiffened.
Is this giving out sub-questions or giving out propositions?
King Jing'an was not in a hurry and just looked at Duan Ming quietly.
Duan Ming looked into King Jing'an's eyes and knew in his heart that he had to give an answer.
After pondering for a long time, Duan Ming exhaled a long breath: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" King Jing'an asked with a smile on his face, "Why do you say that?"
"Because we are not familiar with each other." Duan Ming said matter-of-factly: "I don't know what kind of person the prince is, I don't know what kind of person your majesty is, let alone what the relationship between the prince and your majesty is. I don't know anything.
How do I know what is going on at the specific time?”
Listening to Duan Ming's tongue-twisting explanation, King Jing'an suddenly burst into laughter: "I just said that Mr. Duan is a wonderful man."
"You know, when I asked people this question in the past, they would either be filled with righteous indignation and say, 'This is nonsense'; or else they would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy; or else they would directly express their sincerity to me."
"I have never seen anyone like Mr. Duan who directly said he didn't know."
"Duan is just seeking truth from facts." Duan Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second question." King Jing'an's voice changed: "Mr. Duan, I want to rebel. Are you willing to help me?"
"Ahem..." Duan Ming's face froze. Looking at the serious face of King Jing'an, he shook his head: "My lord, if you want to kill Duan, just do it directly. There is no need to torture Duan like this. Duan
Someone has a bad heart and is afraid of being frightened to death."
"What's wrong? Don't you believe what I said?" King Jing'an said in a deep voice.
"Believe? It would be weird if I believed you." Duan Ming sighed: "Before you said this, I was really not sure, but after you said this, I am sure."
"What do you mean?" King Jing'an was confused.
"Who are you? King Jing'an!" Duan Ming said: "Although I don't know what your character is like, your prestige has not been damaged at all to this day. If you want to rebel, to be honest, you can just turn your hand.
Things in between.”
"Honestly, I don't understand how people like you can live here so peacefully."
"According to common sense, a person with great achievements will inevitably become a thorn in His Majesty's side and a thorn in his flesh. I can't deal with you too much, but I haven't."
"Although it's just my second day here, I also found that although Your Majesty allowed you to live in the capital, as Wan'er said, His Majesty did not restrict your freedom at all. This is very contradictory."
"In this case, there must be something in it. The most reasonable thing is that His Majesty is not worried at all that you will rebel."
"Unreasonable, unreasonable! But this statement is even more unreasonable." Duan Ming shook his head: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly under the bed? No person in power would like to have someone around him who may replace him at any time."
"Even if the prince and your majesty are brothers, even if the prince has no son, this is unreasonable!"
"Unless the prince has something in his hands that prevents his majesty from touching you!" Duan Ming said, "But if there is such a thing, your majesty should find a way to deal with the prince."
"Indeed, according to Mr. Duan, it is indeed true." King Jing'an nodded: "Then, why don't you believe that I will rebel now?"
"So, I thought about it from another angle." Duan Ming rubbed his forehead: "If there is no clue, why isn't Your Majesty worried that the prince will rebel?"
"Is there a possibility that there is something that only the prince and your majesty know, or that only the prince and the royal family know?"
"This incident made the prince understand that even if he raises an army to rebel, he will not be able to become emperor in the end."
"For such a thing, the first thought that came to my mind was the trump card. Maybe there is an ancestor in the royal family. This ancestor is invincible and reclusive in the world. As long as he is a member of the royal family, no matter who is the emperor, this ancestor
The ancestors don't care, but if someone who is not from the royal family sits on the throne, the ancestors will come out and kill everyone."
"Haha, that's a good idea." King Jing'an laughed.
"But there is another strange thing, that is, if this is the case, why does the Changsheng Sect want to rebel?" Duan Ming said: "The Changsheng Sect is the largest religion in the world, and the ancestors are the last trump card of the royal family. If the prince knows about it,
, I don’t know if the longevity religion makes no sense.”
"Since you know you won't be able to sit on the throne, why do the Immortal Cult make such deliberate plans?"
"Then do you understand now?" King Jing'an asked.
"I figured it out." Duan Ming nodded: "When the prince asked me if I wanted to help you if you wanted to rebel, I immediately figured it out."
"I'm just a commoner. Although I have some fame, I just have the nickname of Nancheng Lao Liu in Linyang City. There is no reason for me to be so favored by the prince, and it is even more impossible for the prince to ask such a big question as soon as he sees me.
matter."
"So, the prince is testing me to see if I am a 'traitor' or not. After all, there are people who are not willing to be officials, and there are also talented people. There are also people who are talented but don't want to be officials, but there are talented people who are not willing to be officials."
I don’t want to be an official, but I am the only one who has been involved in major cases of the Immortality Cult several times.”
"Your Majesty is not at ease with me and is worried that I have ulterior motives."
"In other words, the prince is as loyal to His Majesty as that word." Duan Ming said: "Then combined with my previous thoughts, I finally thought of a possibility. That is what the Changsheng Cult planned. In fact, it has always been
Not the throne, but something that only the emperor has."
"Oh?" King Jing'an's eyes lit up: "Tell me about it."
"The Immortality Cult has always sought immortality, and secular power should not be able to attract them." Duan Ming continued: "In this case, the Immortality Cult spends so much effort and cannot ascend the throne, then there must be something in the royal family that is related to longevity."
"But that thing is very important. Maybe only the emperor knows what it is, or maybe only the emperor can touch it."
"So, the Immortality Cult is trying to rebel in order to install a new emperor, an obedient emperor who is willing to hand that thing over to the Emperor of the Immortality Cult."
"It is precisely because of that thing that the emperor is not worried about the prince's rebellion at all."
"A very good analysis." King Jing'an nodded: "However, I believe that this is not the only thing you are thinking of. Why don't you say it all?"
"No, that's all." Duan Ming spread his hands.
"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, forget it. You deliberately left many contradictions in your inference just now, which is understandable." King Jing'an nodded: "However, after what you just said, you are not afraid of being killed by me.
