"Did grandfather forget that the late emperor might have left a legacy for the eldest princess?" Grandfather also knew the inside story that the eldest princess almost died at the hands of the emperor.
The Duke of Zhen shook his head.
Of course I haven’t forgotten...
"But didn't you say before that the imperial edict should have been taken away by the emperor?"
"That should be the case, but even if it was taken away by the emperor, the eldest princess must have seen it with her own eyes. If the eldest princess can be persuaded to come forward to testify about this matter, then there is no fear that the people in the court will not be shaken——"
If King Yan takes this opportunity to enter the capital and win over the already collapsed people, he will most likely be able to stabilize the overall situation and force the emperor to abdicate.
Although it has been a long time and there is no evidence, the word "public opinion" can only be used to determine how to use it.
Especially the identity of the eldest princess is here. She is the emperor's biological sister, and she was also the person summoned by the late emperor alone before his death. If she and Ji Xiu come forward to testify about this matter, the emperor will never think of getting rid of it.
And there is also Dr. Qiao here.
If Ji Xiu and the eldest princess were present, then Doctor Qiao's appearance and testimony would be equally powerful.
The Duke of Zhen was confused when he heard this.
He understands this...
"But isn't the eldest princess stupid?"
How can he come forward to testify about the edict?
Even if you coax him out like a child, someone still has to believe him!
Xu Mingyi asked back: "Do you think the eldest princess is really stupid?"
What does this mean?
The Duke of Zhen Guo was surprised: "...but I've seen it several times, doesn't it look like a child?"
"Yes, otherwise how could we deceive the emperor?"
If there are any flaws in his acting, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive until now.
My life is tied to this, how dare I not perform well.
Duke Zhen Guo's mood was shocked and complicated, especially when the eldest princess asked him to talk at a palace banquet. Before he left, he even patted her head. Thinking about it now, he was shocked to realize that the master was actually there.
around him.
After a while, he added: "Even if she is pretending to be stupid, she has held the will for so many years and still refuses to take it out. It may not be easy for her to come forward to testify at this time."
Xu Mingyi said: "Today is different from the past. What's more, King Yan has not returned to the capital for eighteen years. The emperor has always been suspicious of the eldest princess's house and keeps a close eye on it. The eldest princess has no chance to take out the things."
And that was all in the past——
Before that, the eldest princess did not believe that her brother would kill her for this.
After experiencing a life-and-death disaster at the hands of this brother, would his thoughts have not changed at all?
Perhaps just like Ji Xiu, the eldest princess also needs an opportunity to make up her mind.
Ji Xiu.
The eldest princess.
Doctor Qiao.
Each of them is weak when facing the emperor alone, but if they are strung together, they can become a sharp blade.
And her role is like this beaded thread.
She needs to make this happen.
"Everything must be tried before you know the result." Xu Mingyi said: "Grandpa, please let me try."
The Duke of Zhenguo frowned.
try?
To put it lightly.
What to try?
This kid is going to risk his own life!
Facing the girl's determined eyes, Duke Zhen Guo sighed heavily: "Zhaozhao, it's too risky for you to enter the capital alone!"
"Yes, it is indeed a bit risky, but it is worth it." The girl insisted: "Not all the adults in the court are ignorant and do not know how to adapt. The emperor is so comatose. If it were not for the support of these ministers, Daqing's situation would be terrible.
It is far worse than now - and if the emperor's murder of his father is confirmed, I believe that these adults will not be able to cling to this worthless monarch."
And these officials are just a microcosm.
They represent what the people of the world want.
As long as you can capture the hearts of the people and have the military power to intimidate everyone, you can definitely force the emperor to abdicate.
"My grandfather used to say that the most brilliant method on the battlefield is to kill without losing any blood. Whether this method is feasible or not, my grandfather should have considered it in his heart."
"..." Zhenguo Gong was silent.
Of course he knew this was a great opportunity.
"But this matter must not be done by you -" the old man said, with a tone that said there was no room for negotiation.
"No, the granddaughter must go." The girl's tone seemed to be even more non-negotiable than him: "From Ji Xiu to Princess Jingrong, only when I come forward can I show more sincerity and determination. Is it possible to convince them?
She is the eldest—especially the eldest princess. If she had been anyone else, she would not even be able to win her trust, let alone anything else."
She knows all the secrets of the eldest princess.
After leaving the imperial edict, he was secretly killed by the emperor and pretended to be ill——
She knew all of this, and could even be said to have experienced it with the eldest princess.
And this is not a dead-end job, as long as someone delivers a message, there are many things that require temporary changes. If it is entrusted to others, she will not worry at all.
You only get one chance, so you must seize it.
No one is more sure of this matter than her, and no one is more suitable than her.
The Duke of Zhen was silent again.
He has never been someone who can't distinguish the pros and cons of the overall situation, nor is he procrastinating. Normally, if something is feasible or not, he can make a decision in just one sentence.
But right now...
The old man felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his chest, feeling stuffy and painful.
He always speaks the truth, but this kid is even more truthful than him!
After walking out of the door, I took a look outside and handed over my life and death!
"Grandpa, I know you are worried about my safety, but I have to do this." The girl's voice was even gentle, as if she was saying something very ordinary: "Grandpa, I think you have had this too.
Is it something you have to do?"
The Duke of Zhen could no longer bear it: "But what if something goes wrong with you -"
I didn’t want to say such unlucky words to Zhao Zhao!
If someone else had said this, he would have had to shout it out loud!
"This is indeed something that needs to be taken into consideration." The girl said very seriously: "But even if something happens to me in the city and the result is not what I want, it will definitely not be silent. I can still make some splash.
If you come, there is the Purple Star Sect in the city, so you won't be afraid that this matter will not be fermented - when people's hearts are swayed, my grandfather and prince will get twice the result with half the effort if they send out troops again."
"...What am I talking about?" The old man sighed and his eyes turned red: "If you really have something wrong with you, you will not be able to live with your grandfather!"
On the contrary, he has thought everything through and properly!
But what about yourself?
I really don’t know whether he is a sperm or a fool!
As the old man spoke, his voice became hoarse. He held back tears and turned his head away, no longer looking at the girl as if he was angry.
Xu Mingyi's eyes were also foggy, but the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Don't cry..." She joked: "If your eyes are swollen from crying later, and your soldiers look at you, how will you be able to establish your authority in the future? And they don't know how I bullied you.
Well, did I hit you or scold you? You can’t make me bear the reputation of being unfilial..."
