Chapter 307: Set up for the prince
Su Man knew that in the process of investigating and killing Zhao Yuanling, Chen Jing, the king of the East, always thought that Li Ju had done it, Chen Jing told Wang Yilong of his thoughts, Wang Yilong was very shocked at the time, but there was no evidence that Zhao Yuanling was killed by Li Ju.

Wang Yilong's idea at that time was that Li Ju wanted to seize the throne, and he, as the second senior brother, had this motive for killing.
Wang Yilong once persuaded Chen Jing to give up tracking down the murderer, the reason is, if it is really found out that it is Li Ju, what will they do?
Kill Li Ju? After killing Li Ju, they have one less senior brother, and their senior brothers kill each other, which will be criticized by the world.
Don't kill? Why do you check it if you don't kill it? Since Li Ju wants to be the emperor, he has already killed his senior brother Zhao Yuanling, and if he finds out the truth, how will the brothers get along in the future? It will only increase mutual suspicion, and the affection between brothers will become weaker and weaker, so that in the end, anything can happen.
If Chen Jing listened to Wang Yilong back then, then the Dongwang Mansion would not have been raided.
With this line of thought, Su Man questioned Wang Yilong and aroused Wang Yilong's thoughts.
Su Man saw that Wang Yilong continued to stumble, she knew in her heart that even if Wang Yilong suspected Li Ju, but without evidence, this Wang Yilong would not talk nonsense, so she said.
"There are all kinds of indications that it was Li Ju who killed the East King!"
"How so?" Wang Yilong said.
"I don't know if the prince still remembers that before the emperor's southern tour, he put the power in the hands of Prime Minister Yang Ji in the early dynasty?"
"What I heard, what's wrong? He is a prime minister, taking care of the affairs of the court, why not? Wang Yilong said.
"As far as the slave knows, the emperor has never put the power in the hands of any one person in his previous inspections, and all parties have been restrained in handling the court. And only this time, he asked Prime Minister Yang Ji to handle the government on his behalf, but this time, the East Palace's house was raided, does the prince think this is a coincidence? β
Wang Yilong listened to Su Man's words and was stunned, he didn't expect these things, because he was in southern Xinjiang and knew very little about the affairs of the northern court.
"Su Man, how did you know about the court?"
"Lord Wang, don't forget, there are many things that Dongwang knows with me."
"Oh!" Wang Yilong suddenly realized.
"Prince, if the East King really rebels, Yang Ji does have such a right, but to kill the East King, he exceeded his authority, a prince, not a prime minister can kill him, he should wait for the emperor to return to Beijing, and the emperor will decide, why does he ignore the opposition of the important ministers? Regardless of your own safety? Do you have to kill the king of the east? Has the prince thought about it? Isn't there an article in this? β
Wang Yilong's mind was in a mess, and he was confused by Su Man, he looked at Su Man blankly and listened to her.
"Lord Wang, according to the slave's opinion, Prime Minister Yang Ji and Emperor Li Ju must reach some kind of deal."
"Some kind of deal?" Wang Yilong was surprised, Su Man really dared to imagine!
"Lord Wang, Yang Ji was already in his seventies back then, how many years can he live? If Dongwang found out that the murderer of Zhao Yuanling was Li Ju, the prince thought, according to his fiery temper, would he turn against Li Ju? β
"Yes!" Wang Yilong affirmed.
"So if the East King leads his troops to fight with the emperor Li Ju, which side are you on?"
"I will definitely be on the side of the East King."
"That's it." Su Man said: "Emperor Li will definitely think of this. That's why he used Yanki's hand to eradicate the threat of the East King. β
"But why did Yankee do such a thing against his will?" Wang Yilong wondered.
"Against your will?" Su Man smiled, "Lord Wang, haven't you heard of the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost?" If you really fight, with the strength in your hands and the strength in the hands of the East King, Li Ju will not be an opponent, and his killing of his senior brother will be announced to the world, and everyone will be punished, morally Li Ju has already been defeated, if Li Ju fails, no matter which of you or the East King becomes the emperor, do you think, can Yang Ji still be in the position of prime minister? It is not difficult to imagine that it is not impossible to copy the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Yang Xing is the queen after all, and has close contacts with the Prime Minister. Aren't you afraid that he will unite with Emperor Li Ju's old ministry to take revenge? β
"So." Wang Yihu said: "Yang Ji is willing to be killed by himself, and he also wants to raid the East Wangfu to save the emperor and the Prime Minister's Mansion?" β
"That's right!" Su Man smiled, "Lord Wang, do you understand? β
Wang Yilong nodded, Su Man smiled, she didn't let Wang Yilong think about it, and continued to talk to him.
"Lord Wang, there is another thing that the slave maid wants to ask you, why did you rush into Beijing after the East King was raided, and then not only did not blame the Yang family, but proposed that Yang Tong be the prime minister?"
Su Man saw Wang Yilong looking at him, so he said.
"Lord Wang, how about letting the slave and maid analyze it?"
Wang Yilong nodded, he wanted to hear what Su Man had to say.
"Lord Wang, I think that back then, you rushed into Beijing and had the ability to put the Yang Mansion to death, you can retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, raid the Yang Mansion, and kill the Yang Mansion, then the emperor Li Ju has nothing to say. However, the prince thinks about it in the long term, the emperor Li Ju borrowed Yang Ji's hand to kill the king of the east, clearing the obstacles, and at the same time peeking at the prince's movements, the emperor must have made preparations at this moment. If there is a conflict between the emperor and the prince, it is the north that is unlucky, and if there is a civil war in the north, the south will definitely take advantage of the situation. The destruction of the country is certain, this is a rule. Moreover, the prince proposed Yang Tong as the prime minister, undoubtedly compromising with Li Ju, undoubtedly being a favor, the prince knew that the emperor would bring Yang Tong sooner or later, and the prince only did this, Yang Tong would be grateful to the prince, then Yang Xing could also say good things about the prince in Li Ju's ear, the emperor was naturally very satisfied with the prince's approach, and all parties were beneficial, so the prince and Li Ju have been at peace. However, Li Ju was still a little worried about the prince's long-term residence in southern Xinjiang, worried that the prince's power was getting bigger and bigger, and the appearance of Zhao Qingbao, the king of Zhenxi, just buffered this crisis. He married Yang Fu, so that you are all relatives and form a strong relationship, which is the emperor's clever trick. β
"Suman, you, why are you saying this?" Wang Yilong frowned, looking at Su Man, he didn't understand what Su Man meant, and suddenly asked.
"Lord Wang, the slave maid has one purpose, to protect the young lady."
Wang Yilong looked at Su Man, thinking in his heart, what is Su Man's intention?
The night went deep, the three of them dispersed, Wang Yilong returned to bed, did not sleep all night, for Su Man's words, repeatedly scrutinized, felt that every sentence made sense.
Wang Yilong was thinking, since his sister Wang Xinhui hinted to him that Zhao Qingbao was Zhao Yuanling's son, and Zhao Yuanling was known as the first emperor, so after Li Ju abdicated, should the position of the emperor be returned to Zhao Qingbao?
However, Li Juli and Li Tang are the crown princes, which obviously shows that their Li family wants to be the country for generations, can Zhao Qingbao agree?
If Zhao Qingbao is full-fledged, will there be a coup d'Γ©tat? You must know that behind Zhao Qingbao, Yongtianmen, the number one sect in the rivers and lakes, is supporting.
Wang Yilong was thinking that when necessary, he really had to negotiate this matter with Su Man, but at this time, it was still too early to discuss this matter, and the southern country was aggressive, so he would consolidate the southern Xinjiang first.
