Chapter 180: Ye Shucheng's Purpose

"Now that Zhou Xiang's matter has been decided, then you should also go back to Beijing. The plague of the prince has been cured, and I am afraid that the embezzlement of military salaries should also be put on the agenda. Ye Shucheng has been in a bad mood recently, with his personality, he is not happy, so he has to pull a cushion. The emperor obviously loves the prince even more, and he knows how he feels in his heart. So, it's time for that wooden tour to come in handy. Fang Xiaoyu wanted to turn Ye Shu into an army again.

He created the illusion that the prince embezzled military salaries and collaborated with the enemy, not to really put the prince to death. He knew very well in his heart that unless the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable, he couldn't do anything with the prince at all.

The crown prince was taught by the emperor, and his position in the emperor's mind is not the same as that of other princes and princesses.

But now all his plans are not going well, but he has suffered a lot of blows recently, so sacrificing a wooden tour and biting off a piece of the prince's flesh is also in line with the madman's approach.

"The embezzlement of military salaries, there is no need to worry about Zhou Xiang's rebellion, but the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is too big, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove whether Songhelou is the prince's power, but at the same time, there is no evidence to prove that Songhelou has nothing to do with the prince. If the emperor believes it...... "Ye Xici's mood is obviously not very good.

Regarding the Songhe Tower, it has always been rumored that it is the power of the prince. When they heard such rumors, they knew that this must be a conspiracy, and naturally they could guess that Ye Shucheng planned it.

It's just that they thought that Ye Shucheng used a pine crane tower to lay out, and the plan must be very big, if it was used to hit the prince, it must be used to use that fatal weapon, so they planned to plan it, pretending not to know, and let it be passed on from outside, but they had already found someone to keep an eye on every move of the pine crane tower, so as not to make a mistake, and he originally planned to do it if possible. Use Songhelou to set a trap for Ye Shucheng and let him move stones to hit his feet. However, who knew that Ye Shucheng would use Songhe Tower in such a place.

Although it is said that the prince communicates with the enemy, I am afraid that there is a possibility of rebellion. But such words are really not very tenable, I believe that the emperor is wise, and he will not believe such nonsense lightly. It is not difficult to forge the so-called correspondence with the enemy, if you want to use it to hit the prince. It's naïve.

Therefore, Ye Shucheng exposed the chess piece of Songhelou from the beginning, just to create a little trouble for the prince, such a thing, to wash away the prince's grievances, even if he didn't use Mu You, he also had a way to clear the prince. Therefore, this letter of collaboration with the enemy does not mean that the prince will be defeated.

But what he couldn't understand was that the role of the Pine Crane Tower could be infinitely amplified in the future, even at some critical moments. can be used to deal a fatal blow to the prince, but it is used to make such a trivial calculation, which is really not in line with Ye Shucheng's temperament.

The reason why he didn't immediately purge the crown prince's charges was also waiting for Ye Shucheng's further actions, he always felt that Ye Shucheng would not do such an uneconomical thing, he must have another purpose.

"Evidence is made without evidence. Ye Shucheng will not throw out the chess pieces for nothing, just to let the prince be suspicious of the emperor so simple, I have also made a lot of speculations recently, although his purpose is not sure, but he also has a bit of eyebrows. Since it is rumored that Songhelou is the power of the prince. Then, let's change the direction of the wind and send back the identity of the owner of the Songhe Tower. Fang Xiaoyu still knows Ye Shucheng. Although it was speculated at the beginning that the purpose of the Songhe Tower was to frame the prince, it was based on Ye Shucheng's thoughts. It's not that simple.

The appearance of Mu You is an opportunity, and it is much more convenient to understand Ye Shucheng's motivation for taking this move.

"Do you want to confirm that the mastermind behind the Songhe Tower is Ye Shucheng?" Ye Xici didn't know why Fang Xiaoyu knew Ye Shucheng so well, because he didn't have a deep understanding of Ye Shucheng, and his methods of doing things were often not easy to guess.

"No, behind Songhe Tower is neither the prince nor Ye Shucheng. Ye Shucheng planted Songhelou to the prince. and forged a letter of collaborating with the enemy, he knew that the matter might not be resolved, and even following the clue of framing the prince might be suspected by the emperor that someone was deliberately calculating the prince in order to compete for the position of the prince, he had pretended to be a good boy in front of the emperor for so many years, there was no need to be mediocre at this time. His goal was not the crown prince from the beginning, and the real purpose of forcing Mu You to frame the prince was to frame someone far away in the northwest. Fang Xiaoyu sneered, in such a roundabout way, in fact, he was just using the prince as a tool to use.

The prince will be fine. This is an established fact. Even if the emperor is suspicious of the prince and wants to kill him, I am afraid that Ye Shucheng will pretend to be a brother and plead for the prince.

His purpose was not to drag the prince into the water, but to frame the person in the northwest, and to make the emperor guard against the prince in his heart, killing two birds with one stone.

"Northwest?" Ye Xici's brows were furrowed, and he said: "The people in the northwest who are worthy of his dignified second prince sacrificing Songhe Tower to frame him, except for General Hong, General Miao, or your father......"

"No, although General Hong and General Miao are both princes' people on the surface, General Hong was picked up by Jian Zhengyan. Jian Zhengyan is a spy sent by the Great Zhou, so General Hong is probably already Ye Shucheng's person. He didn't have to frame those who were used by him. Could it be that his target is General Miao? Ye Xici was a little shocked.

I didn't think about it before, but now that I think about it, if he framed General Miao, what could Ye Shucheng get from it?

"General Hong is Ye Shucheng's person. When Jian Zhengyan handed over his military power and entered Beijing from the northwest, the emperor promoted the person he recommended out of a little guilt for him, and got the right to command an army. Jian Zhengyan was mostly low-key when he was in the capital, as if he really unloaded the general's domineering, and was just a rich man with no power but no power but money and leisure, but General Hong has been loyal to him for many years, even if Jian Zhengyan is gone, he can still do what Jian Zhengyan was used to doing before. Based on the map that Mu You got before he escaped from the barracks, one or two can be speculated, if it weren't for that, how could General Hong have that map in his hands? Do you still know the code words 'my name is Cloud King' that no one else can know? ”

"General Hong was brought out by Jian Zhengyan, and he is afraid that he is not clean in his bones, but General Miao is loyal to the emperor." Fang Xiaoyu pursed his lips slightly, and continued: "The soldiers in the northwest are divided into three parts. My father's Zhenyuan Army is a unique one, General Hong is one, and General Miao is another. General Hong is loyal to the imperial court on the surface, but after all, he is the person recommended by Jian Zhengyan, and the emperor may not be able to believe it wholeheartedly. But. Frequent changes of generals are the most taboo in the army, General Hong has not done anything wrong on the surface, and the emperor can't transfer him lightly, otherwise if someone has a heart to spread rumors. I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army and be unstable. Therefore, the emperor sent his own absolute henchman, General Miao, to the northwest and take charge of the army alone, so that the northwest reached a stable state of three-point standing. ”

"If something happens to General Miao, how will the emperor react?" Fang Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

"Strict investigation." Ye Xici replied without hesitation.

General Ruomiao is the emperor's absolute confidant. The matter is also related to military power, so the emperor will definitely order a strict investigation, and may even personally inquire into the matter.

"So, once it is found out that Songhe Tower is an property that General Miao privately planted in the capital, what do you think the emperor will think?" Fang Xiaoyu asked again.

Ye Xici was silent. He had fully understood the meaning of Fang Xiaoyu's words.

Indeed, if this is the case, then although there is a big turn on the way, which seems to be troublesome, it is actually much more convenient than directly taking Songhelou to frame the prince.

"A general who was rooted in the northwest, but stretched out his hand to the capital. What does he want to do? And thinking of the fact that the prince's letter of collaborating with the enemy was found in the Songhe Tower, what would the emperor think in his heart? Fang Xiaoyu snorted coldly and continued: "Although Ye Shucheng's framing of the prince will be cleared, it will inevitably leave the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart. After a hundred years, this great inheritance will definitely be entrusted to him, what is he not satisfied with? Now he has privately formed a party with General Miao, and has also installed countless followers in the capital. He still has a private relationship with the enemy, what does he want to do? ”

"The prince and the general are in a party, and there are indeed too many things that can be investigated behind this. If there are outsiders to guide him, maybe the emperor will think that the prince is a little impatient to be the prince, and he wants to be the emperor. Ye Xici's face was very gloomy. Although a qiē is just speculation. However, this possibility cannot be denied.

Fang Xiaoyu was originally inferred from the character of Ye Shucheng that she knew in her previous life. Ye Shucheng is a person who likes to turn the originally seemingly simple line into complexity.

The reason for this is that it is not easy to deduce his thoughts, and it will also confuse his opponents as much as possible.

He likes to make things very complicated and difficult to understand, and there are thousands of twists and turns along the way, and in the end, no matter whether his calculations come true or not, it is difficult for people to doubt him. Because in the process of taking a detour, he will count all the A, B, C, and D who appear on the road as suspects, and even if people are suspicious in the future, there will be countless unlucky ghosts who stand in front of him to help him share the eyes of others, while he hides behind and enjoys the benefits of the fisherman, smiling and tasting the fruits of victory.

"And once the crown prince dismounts, among the many princes, who is most likely to be crowned the new crown prince?" Fang asked with a smile.

"Cheng Dù, who is loved by the emperor for many princes, except for the crown prince, is Xiao Sixteen. But Xiao Sixteen is a fool in the eyes of outsiders, and it is impossible for Dacheng to be inherited by a fool, so Ye Shucheng is the best candidate, after all, although the emperor does not love him as much as the prince, but over the years, he has indeed tried his best to win the impression of a good son in front of the emperor. Ye Xici's face was full of mockery.

"And if General Miao makes the emperor suspicious, he will go to the end. The two armies belonging to General Miao in the Northwest Army have too many possibilities for operation. Fang Xiaoyu sneered and looked at Ye Xici and said, "You have been fighting with him for many years, you should know how much he cares about military power." ”

Ye Xici nodded.

Ye Shucheng cares very much about the ownership of military power. If he could, he would like to take back all the military power in the hands of all the generals, and then hold it in his hands alone, and let him call it alone.

Of course, these things are impossible to reveal. After all, the image he established in the outside world was a gentle and elegant handsome son from the beginning, who loved elegant things, and was gentle and polite, and he was indifferent to the things of power and lust, and he couldn't leave a trace in his heart at all.

He will be respectful and polite to the prince in front of people, but he can be extremely cruel to his own brother in private. If the prince has a trace of hostility towards him in front of the people, there will immediately be rumors outside that the prince is narrow-minded and intolerant.

Where these words came from, no one knew better than Ye Shucheng. But he can act, he can act, even if the means are exhausted, he can still pretend to be generous and say good things for the prince in front of everyone.

This is a typical smiling tiger, very difficult to deal with.

It's just that now that I think about it, this hypocrite who always has a smirk on his face doesn't seem to be asking for any benefit in front of Fang Xiaoyu.

Fang Xiaoyu was like a real prophet of the unknown, every time she understood his intentions, it seemed that she had an extraordinary understanding of him, knew his methods, and knew how to crack his calculations and slap him in the face.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who has always been gentle, elegant, and polite in the eyes of outsiders, has always been blushing since he was entangled with Fang Xiaoyu. However, for the sake of General Fang's military power of the 500,000 army, he had to endure an unpleasant feeling to greet the other party with a smile and a smile.

"For the sake of my father's military power, even if I am so calculating and humiliated, he can still smile at me in front of people. In the eyes of outsiders, he treats me so kindly, but I always don't give him face and can't get off the stage, which I don't know. I'm afraid that at this moment, many women in the capital will regard me as a fool, and they don't even want a person as talented and hearty as the second prince, but want to follow a person who has a wife for the rest of their lives. Fang Xiaoyu was also funny when he thought about it. Among the daughters of the family in the capital, there are many people who want to squeeze their heads to become the second princess. But if they hadn't experienced it personally, they would never have known how hypocritical Ye Shucheng was.

"Do you regret it?" Ye Xici looked at Fang Xiaoyu, revealing a hint of a joking smile.

Fang Xiaoyu gave her a beautiful white eye, and said: "Even if it is a cat, dog and cockroach, it is a hundred times stronger than that Ye Shucheng, you can be your beautiful man, and compete with a thing that is not even as good as a beast." ”

Ye Xi burst out laughing. He really didn't know what kind of hatred there was between Fang Xiaoyu and Ye Shucheng, and he always denounced Ye Shucheng as worthless.

The second prince of the dignified inheritance, the proud son of the sky, to be talented, to be good-looking, as a prince, and was crowned king, his family background is even more extraordinary, but in someone's eyes, even the annoying cockroach is inferior, he is almost distressed by Ye Shucheng.

"By the way, do you have time for these two days?" Fang Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

"I'm very idle." Ye Xi said that he had to hide all the time, he couldn't do anything, and he was really an idle bird.

"That's fine, come with me somewhere." Fang Xiaoyu was slightly evil.

"Where to go?" Ye Xi resigned his interest.

"Dig up the silver." Fang Xiaoyu was full of smiles. (To be continued.) )
