"I know a little bit about this assassin. Lord Gu also knows that my fiefdom is close to the border. Compared with Lord Gu who stays in the capital and knows nothing about border matters, I naturally know more than Lord Gu.
some more."
Prince Jing paused, glanced at Gu Chengyu who was listening attentively, and couldn't help but curling up the corners of his lips.
"I am afraid that the masterminds behind these assassins have come to the capital a long time ago. According to the evidence collected by this king, Daxing's thieves have already broke into Dayan for deployment many years ago. This assassination is also
The plan has been planned for a long time. Even the death of the emperor was part of their plan. The demon has been lurking in the palace for more than ten years in order to murder the emperor. Unfortunately, it was too late for the king to know all this.
Not only was my father poisoned by it, but the demon also escaped, which is really hateful."
Prince Jing slapped the table with a somewhat angry look on his face.
Gu Chengyu frowned, "According to the prince's wishes, Daxing has been deployed more than ten years ago? But the emperor didn't just start to trust Taoist Tianji recently. Why did it take Taoist Tianji more than ten years to start now?"
, there is no need to come and play this game of chess."
Regarding what Prince Jing said, Gu Chengyu only felt that there were loopholes in it.
He thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Unless Daxing had no time to take care of Dayan in the past few years, they themselves were too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no time to take action. Moreover, if the emperor was poisoned early, they would not be able to take Dayan. It should be
The time has not come yet.”
The more Gu Chengyu thought about it, the more he felt that these two points were very possible. He heard that the royal family in Daxing was also like Dayan, with fierce competition. However, there were many princes in the family, and the country had always been fierce, and they fought back and forth all day long. This level of intensity
One can imagine.
The territory of Daxing is far less vast than that of Dayan. It was only in the past ten years that it annexed some tribes and expanded its territory.
In addition, the more princes who seized the throne, the more Daxing had to take care of itself. Due to internal fighting in the past two years, the war between the two countries also stopped, and the people actually lived a stable life for a few years.
And now the other party has started to activate all the previous deployments, which shows that they have their hands free. Could it be that there are new changes in the situation in Daxing's court?
As for saying that the time has not come yet, that is simple. Although the emperor is suspicious by nature and has a cruel temper, it has to be said that the country of Dayan has slowly begun to recover under the emperor's governance.
More than ten years ago, the emperor was still quite strong, and his energy was far from what he had been in the past two years. The princes had grown up, and the power of each family had not been weakened at that time. It was considered the heyday of this dynasty.
At that time, the emperor did not have such trust in Taoist Tianji. Moreover, if the emperor was murdered, the princes supported by each family would definitely be elected to the top. It must be very difficult for the people of Daxing to seize the power of the Zhao family.
In this case, the other party simply waited. Back then, the emperor was weakening the power of the aristocratic families. Now that all the major aristocratic families have become tigers with their teeth pulled out, what is there to fear?
The other princes were driven to their fiefdoms, and even if Daxing's thieves invaded the capital, they were beyond their reach. By the time they arrived at the capital, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Now the prince of the court is about to succeed to the throne. However, although the prince has the support of many civil servants behind him, he does not have the support of a strong military general.
In addition to stirring up trouble in the court, the literati could also end up killing the enemy. Once Daxing invaded, all these ministers would have no choice but to act like quails.
When the prince was assassinated that day, if the prince had not held the tiger talisman in his hand and was able to mobilize his troops and generals, it is impossible to say that the country would have changed hands.
Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, whose handiwork had the patience to wait for more than ten years?
Prince Jing was very surprised that Gu Chengyu could guess the answer. He couldn't help but nodded and praised, "Master Gu is really keen on current affairs. Your guess is not bad."
"Although our Dayan also has records about the Daxing royal family, after all, Daxing and Dayan are not friendly, and the records are not comprehensive. I have stayed in the fief for the past two years, and there are no other benefits, but I have heard the secrets of the Daxing royal family.
A lot."
Prince Jing picked up the teapot and found that there was no tea in it, so he immediately called the golden ginseng man outside the door to bring him in for more tea.
"The emperor of Daxing gave birth to a total of eight sons. These are the ones who survived, and the others who died in infancy are not counted. Among them, the prince is the eldest son, born to the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty. However, twenty years ago, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty
She contracted an incurable disease and died in less than a month. At that time, our country, Dayan, was very powerful, and Daxing was vaguely dependent on us. Therefore, when the envoys of Daxing came to congratulate our Dayan, they proposed that the princess of Dayan go to Daxing for marriage.
The two countries enjoy diplomatic relations and share peace."
Gu Chengyu nodded. The marriage was recorded in the history book, and he had read it.
"Back then, my father wanted to show that Dayan was a huge country, so he would not refuse. It was just that he was a little worried about the candidates for marriage. Several concubine princesses in the palace were not old enough for marriage. The eldest imperial sister was from the middle palace.
It turns out that it is absolutely impossible for a legitimate daughter with such a distinguished status to get married. What's more, the eldest emperor's sister was not yet in her prime years at that time. How could the father and the queen be willing to do so? So the father chose a member of the royal family.
Daughter, make her Princess Yilun and go to Daxing to get married."
"This was originally a beautiful thing. The emperor of Daxing immediately made Princess Yilun his successor to show Daxing's sincerity in friendly relations. But who would have expected that just over a year later, news of Princess Yilun's death came.
."
Prince Jing did not say whose subordinates these assassins were, but told Gu Chengyu these old stories. However, Gu Chengyu did not interrupt the other party, because he knew that Prince Jing would not tell him these things for no reason.
These things must be related to the assassins that Prince Jing was talking about.
"The Emperor of Daxing said that Princess Yilun was pregnant, and she was already a little weak. She missed her hometown more and more, and her health was very serious. As a result, she suffered a hemorrhagic collapse when she gave birth to her son. After giving birth to her son, she
went."
Gu Chengyu rubbed his smooth chin and then asked the key to the problem.
"Where is that child?"
"We outsiders have no idea what the conspiracy behind the disappearance is. But I, the king, heard the news that there was another hidden reason behind the death of Princess Yilun."
Prince Jing thought of the information he had found out and frowned in thought.
"Well, back then, the emperor made the clan niece a princess and made a marriage, but did the emperor hide it from Daxing?" Gu Chengyu wondered when he remembered that Prince Jing had not been mentioned about this just now.
Prince Jing glanced at Gu Chengyu speechlessly. This man was too smart and seemed a bit boring.
After a while, he said, "Back then, Dayan was a powerful country, but Daxing was a bit underwhelming. Perhaps my father claimed to be the monarch of a great country, so he didn't take the Daxing royal family into consideration. Therefore, the matter was not made clear. He only asked the princess to be escorted there.
My envoys, please don’t reveal this matter and ignore it.”
