The person who put forward this statement was an old man with a white beard. He was not often trusted by King Zhao, but he was loyal and loyal. King Zhao had always treated him well. When King Zhao asked him about it, in order to show off, this man put himself like this.
Several years of inferences were stated one by one.
"We all here know what kind of person the prince is. At that time, the emperor never thought of taking the prince's life. That conspiracy could indeed destroy the prince's reputation and power, but it was not easy to kill the prince. The prince died at that time
In Moocun, many people can’t believe it.”
"Indeed, I don't believe it. If I hadn't found the prince's token and the remaining skin and flesh, I would have thought that the prince was hiding." When the news of the prince's death came, King Zhao was both happy and uneasy. He went quietly to make sure.
Take a look.
"The person who can kill the prince is definitely not a villager from the Mo Village, nor is he one of yours. King Zhou and King Ning do not have such people in their hands. Although the emperor has such people in his hands, they will not rival the prince.
I have often thought about this situation over the years, and I always felt that all of us were being used. Someone used our help to trick the prince into Moocun and then kill the prince."
"Sir, you said that, but you guessed who it is?" King Zhao asked eagerly, but the old man with the white beard shook his head, "My lord, this kind of thing cannot be based on inference. I can only guess the other person from what happened back then.
He should be looking for something from the prince. The prince still remembers that assassins entered the palace after the prince went to war. Did anyone sneak into the prince's east palace? Moreover, several houses close to the prince have also been robbed. Those people stole it.
Some valuable things, but they are nothing. Those people who have the ability to steal in the capital, how could they take that little money in their eyes? Now that I think about it, they must be looking for something. Moreover, as soon as the news of the prince's death came out, the princess
Wouldn’t it be strange for the prince to set himself on fire?"
There are many ways to die. Burn everything with a fire and make preparations in advance. If you say there is no motive for going out, you don't believe it.
"Sir, what happened back then is indeed suspicious. When the Crown Princess set fire to the East Palace and threw Ji Yan out, it was not to sacrifice her love, but to protect Ji Yan?" King Zhao vaguely discovered that after piecing together the events of that year, it was still unclear.
It’s really inseparable.
"All this is just a villain's guess. I have nothing to do these years, so I think about what happened back then. After all, the situation back then was absolutely perfect." The old man with a white beard did not dare to speak too fully and said modestly.
"Sir, what you said is absolutely wrong. To be able to kill the crown prince who is the proud son of heaven, the game back then was indeed perfect." King Zhao did not deny this, and he also admitted that on his own, he did not have that ability.
of.
After receiving this answer from his staff, King Zhao became more and more convinced that Gu Qiancheng must have the crown prince's relics in his hands. He was worried that he could not find an excuse to send troops, so now he would use the excuse of attacking the descendants of the treacherous Wu family.
On the third day after King Zhao arrived in the northwest, he sent troops northward on the pretext of attacking the descendants of the Wu family and retrieving the prince's relics...
If King Zhao wants to rebel, of course he cannot stay in the northwest and let Qin Jiyan come to fight. He must fight all the way to the capital to seize the throne.
Although it is a rebellion, it must have a name. Emperor I am still alive and my nephew is already the crown prince. It is not easy for King Zhao to find a reason to send troops. Now that he finally has such a reason, how can King Zhao let go?
Pass.
King Zhao immediately wrote an appeal, which detailed the deep brotherhood between him and the prince. His move was to fight on behalf of the prince against the descendants of the Wu family who had embezzled the prince's relics, and asked Qin Jiyan to hand over the descendants of the Wu family, Gu.
Thousand cities.
In his message, King Zhao wrote in detail about the friendship between the prince and the brothers of the Wu family. When they were in danger, the prince asked them to protect an important thing and asked the descendants of the Wu family to hand it over to the descendants of the Qin family.
As a result, the descendants of the Wu family took the prince's relics, but did not hand them over and kept them privately. Both the second lady of the Gu family, Gu Qianxue, and the eldest man of the Gu family can testify to this. The eldest son of the Gu family once said personally that Wu Yun had
There is a relic of the prince, which is now in the hands of Wu Yun's daughter Gu Qiancheng.
In his message, King Zhao repeatedly emphasized that he was not a rebel. He just couldn't bear that his father and nephew were deceived by traitors, so he raised an army. As long as Qin Jiyan handed over Gu Qiancheng to him, he would immediately retreat and return to Beijing to plead guilty.
The memorandum was sent to Qin Jiyan immediately. Qin Jiyan couldn't help but sneer when he saw King Zhao's upright words throughout the article...
King Zhao really made a good excuse. Others might think this reason was nonsense, but Qin Jiyan guessed that King Zhao must have guessed something to say the same thing.
It seems that the half of "Yi Guo Zhi" in Qian Cheng's hands is most likely his father's.
Maybe, he should talk to Jing Yan after returning to Beijing.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with this matter?" The same deputy general looked at Qin Jiyan, waiting for him to make up his mind.
If a woman can quell this war, they will naturally be happy.
Qin Jiyan threw King Zhao's message on the table and said coldly: "Don't you think that if you follow King Zhao's request, he will really retreat?" How naive must these generals be to do this?
There is such an idea.
"If we do this, King Zhao will have no reason to send more troops." It is a taboo for military strategists to send troops out of nowhere, just like even if everyone knows that King Zhao is rebelling, King Zhao still has to pull a fig leaf.
"It's just that there is no reason." Qin Jiyan corrected him and said at the same time: "If King Zhao gets Gu Qiancheng, kills people, and says that the prince's relics are in my hands, will you also hand over me?
"
"I don't dare, general." A room full of military generals all knelt down.
"I don't think you dare." Qin Jiyan did not let everyone get up, but threw the message in front of them, "Don't say that there are no relics of the prince, even if there are relics of the prince, this prince's son still has nothing to do with it.
If he is still alive, what qualifications does he have to ask for the prince's relics?"
"Your Highness is right." The generals reacted immediately and bowed their heads one by one to admit their mistakes. Qin Jiyan didn't really want to punish them, he just wanted to eliminate the possibility of them pushing Gu Qiancheng out to quell the war.
"Let the civil servants write a letter to King Zhao on my behalf and tell him what I mean." King Zhao is not the only one who can be induced by words. Compared with King Zhao, he is the son of the prince and the empress dowager of Da Qin.
Sun is truly justified.
"The general will finally understand." The group of people did not dare to say more, and immediately called for the clerk in the palace and asked him to write a report to King Zhao about the emperor's grandson as soon as possible.
Under Qin Jiyan's polished writing, the letter to accuse King Zhao was written in one day. Qin Jiyan did not send it to King Zhao, but directly announced it to the world and posted it on the yamen of various important towns...
