After discovering such a shocking thing, Zeng Yi couldn't bear it any longer and decided to take action immediately. He put the minister of etiquette to sleep to find out what was going on with this guy. Now the imperial court has been involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.
It was chaotic enough. Xixia, a foreign power, suddenly appeared again. This was an unexpected thing. Zeng Yi had to know whether it would have any impact on their plan.
In the middle of the next night, Zeng Yi put on his night clothes, sneaked around Dongchang Fanzi, and went to the residence of Wai Lang, the official of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, people from the pro-army Duwei Mansion were still monitoring him.
.
Meeting up with the people from the pro-army Duwei Mansion, Zeng Yi asked, "Is there anything going on?"
"Sir, this guy went to the prince's house in the middle of the night, and according to what my subordinates saw, the prince treated him with great courtesy! He stayed at the prince's house for about two hours, and he just came back not long ago!
"
"He is a middle-level official in the Ministry of Rites. Logically speaking, even if he joins the prince, he cannot be an important figure. The prince has such a good attitude towards him. Is there any hidden secret in it?" Zeng Yi frowned and pondered.
"There are also first-class experts in charge of the Crown Prince's residence, but my subordinates don't dare to go in. I don't know the specific situation!"
Zeng Yi nodded, "No need to bother, come in with me, we can just ask him!"
The two of them sneaked into the mansion. The pro-military captain's mansion had already investigated the mansion, and Zeng Yi had been there several times on the pretext of selling small blue pills.
We arrived at the bedroom of the minister of etiquette, Wailang.
"Sir, there should be that guy's wife inside. Please wait a moment and allow me to use some sweat medicine."
After a while, the two of them entered the bedroom. The minister of etiquette, Wailang, and his wife were already unconscious. "Be careful, don't be discovered." With that, Zeng Yi grabbed the guy.
Having used the soul-transferring weapon many times, he easily put Wai Lang, the minister of etiquette, to sleep who had no power to restrain a chicken. Without further ado, Zeng Yi asked about his relationship with Xixia.
Originally, Zeng Yi thought that this guy had defected to Xixia, but that was not the case, but the shock to Zeng Yi was no less than that this guy had defected to Xixia. It turned out that this guy did not defect to Xixia, but cooperated with Xixia, to be precise.
To be honest, it was the crown prince who took refuge with him and cooperated with Xixia and other countries. This guy was just in charge of guest etiquette and reception of foreign guests in the Department of Etiquette, so he took advantage of his position to represent that prince, and
Just contact Xixia and other countries.
In fact, it was not the prince who defected to Xixia, but the prince who Xixia took the initiative to find and proposed cooperation between the two parties. The prince was originally the one with the weakest power among the three people who gave people the most hope. Xixia proposed cooperation, even though he knew
Xixia was uneasy and kind-hearted, but the prince could not resist the temptation of the throne and happily reached a cooperation agreement with Xixia.
Zeng Yi also learned about the agreement. Xixia fully supported the prince, and after he ascended the throne, he must allocate part of the land in the southwest to Xixia. This agreement was simply a traitorous agreement. The prince did not dare to let anyone know about such an agreement.
Let this minister of etiquette, Wailang, take advantage of his position to secretly communicate with Xixia.
"Xixia! It seems to Mader that Xixia and other countries are already aware of the struggle for the right to inherit the throne in the Central Plains, and they have followed the trend and participated in it!" Zeng Yi understood that Xixia and other countries would never be satisfied with that small amount of land. The reason why he helped this country
Zeng Yi guessed that the crown prince was most likely to balance the power and make the struggle for the right to inherit the throne more intense. In this way, the Zhihui of the Central Plains court became more and more chaotic. Even after the death of the old emperor, with their fueling, the government soon became more and more chaotic.
There is a possibility of a civil war breaking out, and then they can take advantage of it!
"Fuck, there's some trouble!"
Without Zeng Yi and the little princess, the plans of Xixia and other countries are very likely to succeed. The three princes are equally powerful. No one will be convinced by whoever succeeds in the end. In the end, the only way to achieve success is through war.
solved.
Zeng Yi also did not expect that Xixia and other congresses would join in so quickly, which would inevitably affect their plans. "No, I have to find a way to kick out the overseas forces, otherwise the variables will be too great!"
Zeng Yi looked back at the disheveled Etiquette Officer Wai Lang, and said again: "How many people know that you are cooperating with Xixia?"
"Not much. It's just me and the prince, and the prince's cronies. The prince doesn't dare to let other people know about such things."
"So, you have gained the prince's trust?"
"Old Marquis, if you are kind to me, I will naturally help the young Marquis, and the young Marquis also trusts me very much!"
Hearing this, Zeng Yi knew that this guy could definitely be regarded as a confidant of that prince, and as a confidant, he must know many other secrets that others did not know.
"Do you have any evidence of your contact with Xixia?"
"Yes, there are funds provided by Xixia!"
"Besides funding, does Xixia have any other actions?"
"After all, Xixia is a foreign force. Currently, it has only provided funds. If it is not enough, Xixia will also guarantee that if there is demand, they can send troops to help!"
...
Zeng Yi did not take away anything from the house of the Minister of Etiquette, Wailang. The Minister of Rites, Wailang, was not one of his own. If he found out that he had lost something important, he would definitely alert the snake. But now, Zeng Yi no longer wants to mess with the prince.
, The most important thing now is to bring Xixia and other forces out. Their participation will have a great impact on Zeng Yi's plan.
Returning to the small courtyard, Zeng Yi began to think about countermeasures, but for a while, he couldn't think of any countermeasures. Zeng Yi simply went offline and invited the three bosses to discuss it.
"Brothers, things have changed. I just found out that Xixia and other countries are also involved!"
"Xixia!" The three bosses were also very surprised when they heard this.
After a moment of silence, Laosi said: "The purpose of Xixia and other countries is obviously to cause chaos in the Central Plains. This is not in line with our interests. We must find a way to kick them out."
Zeng Yi nodded: "That's what I mean too, but Xixia and other countries are not directly involved now. They only provided some financial support to the prince. I don't know what to do!"
"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but... in fact, it is completely possible to reveal this news to the emperor. I think that although the emperor is currently treating the battle for the right to inherit the throne with a cold eye, he certainly does not want other forces to get involved. As long as
He knows about Xixia Shenhe, I don’t think we need to do anything, the emperor will do it himself."
