Chapter 359: Suspicious Candidates
Sun Xiu didn't dare to confirm it. He hadn't actually seen Fang Xiaoyu a few times. When he joined the army, he was not very old, but Fang Xiaoyu was only a few years old at that time, and women and children were not allowed to enter the barracks, so he didn't have much chance to see General Fang's wife and children. But the reason why he felt that the person in front of him was Fang Xiaoyu was because he had seen a painting in the study of the Shou General's Mansion. In the painting, there are three children and two women, one is the general's wife Xi Yuhan, and the other looks like his wife's maid. In the garden, two children, a man and a girl, were playing, while another girl, who looked older, sat quietly on the stone bench, quietly watching the crowd, as if she was out of place in the world.
He was very concerned about the painting at that time, because the person in the painting was so vivid, and the general hung it in his study, because it was very important to him.
The woman who sat quietly looked a little similar to the woman in front of her, but she looked older. But considering that it was a few years ago when he saw that painting, it was only natural that the woman had grown up and become a big girl.
At that time, the general pointed to the boy on the painting and told them that this was the future heir of his Zhenyuan General's Mansion, and it was obvious that the general attached great importance to the young master from the original wife. And that woman is the general's daughter-in-law, but the general always has a headache to say, this eldest lady is too cold, not only for outsiders, even if it is her biological parents, she also looks like she loves to ignore her.
Fang Xiaoyu saw that Sun Xiu seemed to recognize him, but it was also a little strange. She had never seen the impression of Sun Xiuqi. She was still in Beiyan, but she was only a little old. Although she couldn't enter the barracks, she had met a few of her father's henchmen.
If it is calculated by age, Sun Xiu was only a teenager back then. It should still be struggling to accumulate military merits on the front line, and it has never had such a status as it is now. If so, there seems to be another reason for being able to recognize her.
She didn't know that her father cherished the portrait and hung it in the study of the Shoujiang's Mansion, the woman in the painting was just a doll a few years old, and now that she was an adult, her appearance always changed a little. If she knew that Sun Xiu had guessed based on what she looked like when she was a child in the painting. may only sigh that these ancients' ability to guess people by looking at paintings is really talented, at least she always sees those so-called wanted portraits and the like. It will never match the true appearance of that person.
Fang Xiaoyu took advantage of the situation and sat on the seat where Dao Yin was originally sitting, while Dao Yin stood respectfully behind him. There was no trace of arrogance in his expression. From beginning to end, he was like a faithful servant, quietly following behind Fang Xiaoyu. Silent.
"Someone. Heal Captain Zhuang's injuries. Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand slightly, and saw that one of the servants who were protecting the knife from harm before with strong force stood up, respectfully lifted the other party to the side, and began to help him bandage his wounds, feeding him the pills made from expensive medicinal materials, but in just a few minutes, Zhuang Han already felt that the wounds on his body were no longer as painful as Fang Cai, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Such healing powers. If it could be placed on the battlefield, countless brothers would have died.
"This ...... But Miss? Sun Xiu didn't know what to call Fang Xiaoyu for a while. I don't know if the reason for the sudden change of face in the knife is because of this person who looks like a young lady.
"Captain Sun recognizes me?" Fang Xiaoyu was very satisfied with these captains. Before coming to the border city, she didn't think of the reason why the entire Zhenyuan army betrayed her father. After all, the Zhenyuan Army was created by his father, if it is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, it is difficult to keep a traitor with ill intentions, she believes this, but hundreds of thousands of Zhenyuan Army betrayed together, but she can't believe that there is no reason for it.
When he coaxed and frightened Dao Yin to betray Liang Bo, she naturally understood the reason.
Frankly. It's too rudimentary and very flawed. Unless someone helps wipe his butt afterwards, the possibility of being found out in the future is infinitely close to the maximum with Liang Bo's own pediatric strategy.
However, it also has to be admitted. It's also the easiest plan to implement.
It is almost impossible to get hundreds of thousands of people to betray their generals. wanted to get rid of Fang Jianzhang and let Liang Bo take over the military power of Beiyan, the so-called emperor's edict can be said to be indispensable.
In the era of the supremacy of monarchy, the emperor's orders could hardly need any logic and reason. As long as it is what the emperor wants to do, the holy decree will be given, and the subjects of the whole world can only obey all the way.
What's more, with the allegiance of the fox wolf grassland, it is not impossible to destroy the quicksand country, so Liang Bo's simple strategy is also the easiest to implement.
There was a great drought in Beiyan, and the food and water sources were insufficient, and the opposing troops were approaching the city. Before Fang Jianzhang returned to Beiyan, Liang Bo's countermeasures were nothing more than showing weakness to the enemy.
They are all bloody men, who have been bullied again and again by the rabble of the quicksand country but can't fight back. In addition, Sun Yun was calculated by Liang Bo and lost 100,000 troops, and all the soldiers held their breath one by one, as soon as they heard the plan of 'Fang Jianzhang' to slaughter the country, coupled with the existence of the emperor's edict, how could the soldiers still think about it, and they wished they would rush out now and fight to the death with the other party.
And Liang Bo is not unprepared. His disguise technique is very exquisite, as long as he finds a person who is very suitable for Fang Jianzhang in stature and size, and disguises him into Fang Jianzhang's appearance, maybe this person has been preparing for a long time, he has even imitated Fang Jianzhang's temperament for three points, plus some of Fang Jianzhang's small movements and habits, it is not difficult to deceive some people.
In this case, the loophole part is actually after the fact, and once someone reflects on it, it is likely that the plan will be exposed. Therefore, the emperor's edict is necessary.
And although the edict is stamped with the emperor's private seal, there are always so many old people in the army who know all kinds of emperor's seals. This is also to prevent people from falsely preaching the holy decree, and all the countries and dynasties have had a set of methods of discernment. And that private seal must be true, that's why so many people can be deceived.
So there are two possibilities. First, this edict was issued by the emperor himself, and he really wanted to get rid of Fang Jianzhang through this. The second is that someone who can get close to the emperor secretly covers it while the emperor is not paying attention.
There are not many such people. First of all, this person must be in the capital and be able to enter and leave the palace frequently. It is very likely that he originally lived in the palace.
Even as a prince and princess. There are few people who can get in touch with the emperor's private seal. The prince counts as one, and it must be accessible within a certain period of time. Because the crown prince lives in the East Palace, although he is also in the palace. But he wanted to see the emperor and needed to see him. And the emperor will not carry his private seal with him at will. Therefore, the possibility of the crown prince is very small.
Moreover, the prince himself is in Beiyan. In a battle outside the city, he himself almost died. If it weren't for the 50,000 soldiers who knew his identity and desperately protected him, the news that the crown prince had died at this moment would have reached the capital a long time ago.
The second is those who serve the emperor closely, such as Su Wanfu. For example, Grandpa Xia. As a ********, the emperor's seal will be kept by Su Wanfu tomorrow. If Su Wanfu wants to fake the holy decree, there is an opportunity. But. Su Wanfu was a human spirit, and he must have known how stupid it was to falsely proclaim the Holy Decree.
He is the ******** and is only responsible to the emperor alone. He doesn't have to participate in the battle for the heir at all, as long as he treats the princes who take the heir equally. Or appropriate flattery. It didn't take much effort for him to win the favor of several princes.
What's more, at his age, the emperor is in the prime of life, and when the emperor abdicates, he himself should put down everything and rest. The eunuch has no children, but Father-in-law Xia, the godson, even if he wants to plan for him, there is no need to risk killing his head and losing his head to do such a thing that does not outweigh the losses.
Then there are the concubines in the harem. Sometimes the emperor would take care of some things in the dormitories of several ladies. Both jade seals and private seals may be brought over.
That's a little interesting.
In Fang Xiaoyu's heart, there are so many girls who can do such a thing. And there is enough motivation.
For example, Zhou Guifei.
As a spy of the Great Zhou. He had good enough reasons to want to kill his father. Although her father is guarding Beiyan and is not a short distance away from Da Zhou, the real god of war, no matter where he goes, can still sweep away thousands of troops. If her father was transferred to the northwest by the emperor, it would definitely be a nightmare for the rogue army of the Great Zhou who often harassed the northwest.
Another example, Mei Guifei.
She is Mei Cangyun's daughter, and helping her father deal with a stumbling block is just a gesture for him.
But she is just a woman, and wanting to get rid of her family's general Fang with her own ability is tantamount to a fool's dream. So the best way is to let his general die on the battlefield unconsciously.
But it's too hard. And it's easy to make mistakes after the fact. So if it was done by Concubine Mei, she must prepare a substitute ghost.
Therefore, the imperial doctor who had colluded with her suggested that the prince come to Beiyan with him. In this way, the reason for framing her father can be related to the succession.
In fact, Mei Cangyun wanted to secretly control the Zhenyuan army. And Zhou Zifeng also wanted to take the Zhenyuan General's Mansion for himself.
Regardless of the purpose, Fang Jianzhang is an obstacle.
Therefore, it also needs the 'cooperation' of one person.
Because, if the crown prince dies in Beiyan, the emperor will inevitably be furious. At this time, Mei Guifei pushed out another ghost for the dead, and she might hide the true purpose of Mei Cangyun, the old fox, who wanted to seize power.
Fang Xiaoyu suddenly saw a figure in his mind.
The Five Princes. This prince, who was killed by Mei Guifei and lost his mother, endured the humiliation and recognized the thief as his mother many years later, just to be able to slash the enemy.
The five princes have never regarded Mei Guifei as their mother concubine, and naturally, Mei Guifei will not regard the five princes as sons. Fostered the fifth prince under her name, but because she had not produced anything for many years, she must have an heir who could win him an unfailing position in the palace.
However, now that Concubine Mei is pregnant, she doesn't need the son of a person who was killed by herself to thin out the status of her own heir.
What's more, maybe she herself has noticed that the attitude of the five princes towards her has always been intimate. The reason why she has been infertile for many years is also because the fifth prince secretly drugged her. Coupled with the fact that there are ghosts in her heart, she is even more reluctant to contact the five princes.
The last time she framed Zhou Guifei's lame plan, didn't she just want to sacrifice the five princes to implement it?
These two people are the most likely and motivated to do this. However, there was another suspect in Fang Xiaoyu's heart.
The well-known Hubu Shangshu family's pit father and little expert Niangniang was just made a concubine a few days ago, called Concubine Liang.
This person, although she does not have the support of the family behind her, but she alone makes the emperor love her very much. And the emperor knew that this Concubine Liang always changed her mind to frame her own father, but he kept her by his side and loved her very much.
This Concubine Liang is usually in the palace and keeps to herself, and she does not form gangs, nor frame others at will, and of course she will not be easily framed. This is a person with means, but she behaves very well-behaved, in addition to cheating her father from time to time, she makes the emperor feel very comfortable with her, so she is often pampered.
Originally, the matter of Beiyan had nothing to do with her at all. Everyone knows that she is not compatible with her mother's family, because Lord Liang, the head of the household department, has always been bad to their mother and daughter, and she has to be bullied by her sisters and sisters on weekdays.
So even if something happens, I'm afraid that everyone will completely separate her from the Tobe Shangshu family. What's more, she has achieved such a status and honor in the palace, and she really didn't borrow any resources and connections from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Household Affairs. And I have to say that this Lord Liang, who has been cheated countless times, is already good if he doesn't set up a few obstacles for this Concubine Liang.
And the reason why Fang Xiaoyu suspected that Concubine Liang, who was a little expert in cheating, also had a motive to participate in this matter was because Liang Bo was the same clan of the Household Shangshu Liang. The relationship has been far apart, and there is no interaction on weekdays. Lord Liang can sit in a position like Hubu Shangshu, and it is not a cat or dog that can climb the relationship. He is so mean to his daughter, let alone the so-called same clan that has been separated by several lifetimes.
When Liang Bo entered and exited Beijing, he didn't think about taking refuge in that Lord Hubu Shangshu. It's a pity that people look up to the top and look down on poor relatives like him at all, so they didn't see their faces and were kicked out.
The reason why Liang Bo joined the army is because he wants to fight for a breath to show the Hubu Shangshu, even if your status in the court is unshakable, Lao Tzu will also use military merits to catch up with you little by little, little by little, and then one day, this shame of being bombed out will also be tasted by you yourself!
Over the years, Liang Bo had never been in contact with the Household Shangshu Liang. He also thought that he did not have this kindred. Naturally, Lord Liang of the household department didn't remember such a person at all.
Even if he knew that Beiyan had a deputy general Liang, he had never been in contact with his own clan.
However, these two Liang adults have no contact, but the Liang concubine in the palace may not want to contact them properly.
If Liang Bo becomes a traitor who betrayed Dacheng and framed the general, it will be the crime of killing the head. When the time comes, a little guidance, it is difficult to guarantee that people will not think that this matter is the work of the head of the head of the capital.
To be honest, that Concubine Liang didn't care about her life at all. If she could exchange her life for the heads of everyone in the entire Hubu Shangshu Mansion, she would be happy to contribute her own heads first.
Women, especially crazy women, they hold grudges. (To be continued.) )
PS: After that, I used to write the chief eunuch as Su Wanchun, but then I used Su Wanfu. Everyone thinks his name is Su Wanfu. The Su Wanchun in front, I'll re-read it in the future and change it. There is also Concubine Liang, a little expert in pit fathers, I forgot if I wrote their family's surname before. If it has been written, you will ignore it. Again, I'll change it later. Their family is surnamed Liang. Well, it's such a pleasant decision (top pot lid to escape)
