Chapter 1345: The whole body is moved by one hair (2)
"PS: I'm back and I'm sending you the chapters."
————The following text————
With great anger, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan immediately came to the residence of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli with his staff Zhou Min.
When Zhao Hongxuan came to the eldest prince's house, the eldest prince Zhao Hongli was discussing something with his staff Luo Yao in the study. While they were chatting, they saw Zhao Hongxuan coming to the study in a hurry and said angrily: "Emperor Chang
Brother, do you know that Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, is dead!"
"..." Zhao Hongli nodded slowly with a sullen face.
The news that "all the princes in Quliang were massacred" had already spread throughout Daliang and caused huge controversy in Daliang. How could Zhao Hongli and Luo Yao not know about it?
In fact, Zhao Hongli was discussing this matter with Luo Yao just now.
After all, Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was particularly crucial to Zhao Hongli's comeback. Without this person, it would be difficult for Zhao Hongli to overthrow King Yong Hongyu.
"It's really unreasonable!" After finding a chair in the study and sitting down, Zhao Hongxuan said angrily: "That damn King Yong is so vicious that he actually kills people and silences them..."
After hearing this, Luo Yao and Zhou Min looked at each other with some confusion in their eyes, obviously having different opinions.
"Your Highness, King Huan, please calm down." Luo Yao cupped his hands towards King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, then frowned and said, "I am just talking about this matter with Your Highness... In my opinion, this matter is a bit strange." After a pause.
, he expressed his judgment: "I suspect that this matter may not have been done by King Yong's people..."
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" King Huan Zhao Hongxuan said angrily: "The news must have been leaked, and King Yong was so desperate that he killed people and silenced them..."
Luo Yao knew that King Huan Zhao Hongxuan had a bad impression of King Yong Hongyu, so he patiently said: "Your Highness King Huan, what do you mean by "King Yong is in a state of emergency"? We have not yet shown the document to the court.
Secret message, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has not officially returned yet, why should King Yong be anxious?"
"Uh..." Zhao Hongxuan was stunned when he heard this, and guessed: "Maybe the news will be leaked, and King Yong will know that we have a handle on him, so why not kill him first?"
Luo Yao smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Your Highness King Huan, first of all, the origin of the secret letter we received is unknown, and the authenticity is also unknown. It is not the so-called "handicap for King Yong"; secondly, even if it is sealed
If the letter is true, King Yong and the Marquis of Quliang can completely deny it...Since there is room for maneuver, why did King Yong kill Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang? Isn't this just asking for it?"
"That's right." Zhou Min also nodded and agreed: "I have stayed with King Yong Hongyu for a while. King Yong is definitely not such a restless person." After saying that, he glanced at King Huan Zhao Hongxuan.
, he told his Highness what he had wanted to say all along, but Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan couldn't listen to it at all: "It cannot be denied that Yong Wang Hongyu and Zhang Qigong dared to do this, but it is not necessary."
King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then frowned and asked: "We just received the secret letter, and we were thinking about starting with Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, to deal with King Yong. As a result, in the past two days, Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang...
He died a violent death...don't you two think this is a bit too coincidental?"
Regarding this question, Luo Yao and Zhou Min couldn't figure it out in a short time.
As King Huan Zhao Hongxuan said, is this really a coincidence? Of course it is impossible! How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
But as they just said, neither Luo Yao nor Zhou Min thought that this matter was sent by Yong Wang Hongyu. Because there was still room for maneuver, they rashly killed Quliang Hou Sima Song and massacred all the people.
With so many people in Qulianghou's house, such stupid things are really not something that Yong Wang Hongyu and Zhang Qigong would do.
But they couldn't guess what the truth was.
It's no wonder, after all, they would never have thought that the "third party force", the remnants of the Xiao family, would intervene in the whole matter and send them evidence of contact between Yong Wang Hongyu's people and Quliang Hou Sima Song, in an attempt to use
In addition to overthrowing King Yong Hongyu, the "fourth force" of Queen Wang intervened strongly and decisively ordered the 'killing' of Quliang Hou Sima Song.
However, just as Queen Wang's men were executing the order, a "fifth-party force" called "Qingya under the command of Su Wang Zhao Run" intervened and forcibly abducted Sima Song - this is a garbled word.
No matter how clever Luo Yao and Zhou Min were, they would never have imagined that this matter would turn out to be so tortuous.
"A few years ago, King Yong instigated a rebellion in a military camp in the north, and secretly ordered his confidants to lie and pretend to be traitors to attack the military camp... He was able to do such a thing back then, so why can't he kill Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang today?"
"This is the moment, and the other is the same." Zhou Min corrected him: "Your Highness, at the beginning, His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, was so powerful that King Yong had no way to retreat, so he had to fight with his back. But now, King Yong has the power to supervise the country, and he is the heir apparent.
How could he still be in danger when he was only one step away from the throne? Unless he could instigate Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, to admit that the "Jinxiang Massacre" was instigated by King Yong behind his back, otherwise, even if
With that secret letter, it will be extremely difficult for His Royal Highness the eldest prince to overthrow King Yong."
Luo Yao nodded repeatedly, and even Zhao Hongli nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, although Zhou Min's words were conclusive and sincere, they still could not completely dispel King Huan Zhao Hongxuan's suspicion of King Yong Hongyu.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Hongxuan stood up and said, "Zhou Min, you stay here and have a good discussion with Luo Yao. I'll go to my brother's place and ask Gao Kuo what's going on."
"That's a good idea." Zhou Min nodded and said.
Seeing King Huan Zhao Hongxuan leave the study with lingering anger on his face, Zhao Hongli, Luo Yao, and Zhou Min looked at each other and felt faintly discouraged.
Because originally they were planning to use Quliang Hou Sima Song as a breakthrough, even if they could not overthrow King Yong, they could at least suppress King Yong's arrogance. Unexpectedly, the key figure Quliang Hou Sima Song was actually killed.
Once this person dies, what value will the secret letter have? - Things that are dead without corroboration can never be used as evidence.
"This matter... is really a bit strange."
After looking at each other, Luo Yao frowned and said to Zhou Min.
Previously, Luo Yao and Zhou Wei had deduced the possibility that "Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was King Yong's secret chess piece" through various traces. Coupled with the secret letter, this matter was already a certainty.
Therefore, when Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, was killed inexplicably at this time, the person who gained the most was naturally King Yong Hongyu.
However, according to common sense, it is unlikely that King Yong Hongyu would order the killing of Sima Song, the Marquis of Quliang, at this time. This strong sense of violation made Luo Yao and Zhou Min feel that the whole matter was confusing.
For a time, Luo Yao and Zhou Min were at a loss.
At the same time, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was sitting in a carriage, heading to the palace of his brother Su King Zhao Hongrun in a depressed manner.
At this time, Prince Su's Mansion, after Zhao Hongrun had completed his period of observing filial piety, was busy making final preparations for the wedding, such as posting happy words, laying out banquets, preparing return gifts, etc. The whole house was filled with a festive atmosphere.
After all, Zhao Hongrun's wedding date has been officially determined, and it will be September 18th - that is, three days later.
When he arrived at the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongxuan saw carriages loaded with vegetables, fruits, and fish, parked in front of the house, and the peasants were carrying baskets of them to the cooks in the mansion.
Beside them, Zongwei Lu Mu and Mu Qing were directing the peasants, but when they saw Zhao Hongxuan's carriage approaching slowly, they immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness Xuan."
After Zhao Hongxuan got off the carriage, he greeted Lu Mu and Mu Qing.
He was not a person who was good at hiding his emotions, so Lu Mu and Mu Qing could obviously tell that His Highness was in a bad mood.
But before they could ask, Zhao Hongxuan took the lead and asked: "Brother Lu, have you seen Brother Gao Kuo?"
"Gao Kuo?" Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Gao Kuo has just returned from an outing and is reporting something to His Highness in the study room... His Highness Xuan has something to do with him?"
Zhao Hongxuan did not elaborate on the explanation. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Then I can go in by myself. You are busy."
With that said, he walked into the mansion.
Forgetting to glance at Zhao Hongxuan in confusion, Lu Mu turned to look at Mu Qing, as if he wanted to ask Mu Qing if he knew anything about the situation, but unfortunately Mu Qing didn't know anything either and shrugged.
At the same time, in the study room of Prince Su's Mansion, Zongwei Gao Kuo was indeed reporting some important matters to Prince Su Zhao Hongrun.
This important matter not only refers to the matter of "Quliang Hou Sima Song and his family were killed", but also the matter of "the Green Crows sent to Fengqiu suddenly lost their news".
It turned out that after hearing the news that "the Qulianghou Mansion was attacked by thieves" and "the whole family of Qulianghou Sima Song was massacred", Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was also shocked. You know, Qulianghou Sima Song
That was the one he sent people to monitor. How could he be killed without any sound? - What on earth were those Qingya people sent to Fengqiu doing?!
It was clear that the news of the murder of Quliang Hou Sima Song had spread from Fengqiu to Daliang, but the Green Crows sent to Fengqiu did not report the matter in advance. This is a serious dereliction of duty!
Therefore, Gao Kuo was annoyed to find the stronghold of the Green Crows in Daliang, and then learned that the "Crow Five" group of Green Crows sent to Fengqiu had lost news for two days, which made Gao Kuo feel worried.
Shocked and angry, he quickly came back to report to His Highness.
There are only two possibilities for the loss of news from Yawu and his group: either this group of people defected collectively, or this group of people was killed or imprisoned.
Among these two possibilities, the possibility of "defection" is very slim. Let alone the brainwashing indoctrination in the training of the Green Crows, which makes every Blue Crow loyal to King Su Zhao Hongrun.
The generous treatment of the Green Crows basically eliminates the possibility of defection.
In this case, Ya Wu and his team sent to Fengqiu suddenly lost all news, leaving only one possibility: they were attacked!
The problem is, even if it is attacked, it is impossible that even the news cannot be spread, right?
Or is it that Crow Five and others were all killed by the other party in one fell swoop? - This is almost impossible.
Just when Zhao Hongrun was thinking about this matter with a frown, he saw his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan coming to the study with a sullen face.
