As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, state affairs and official affairs are extremely busy.

Autumn night strings go up during the day, and at night they are reviewed and folded, and there is almost no time for rest and relaxation.

And when he was the busiest, Xie Yong brought him earth-shattering news.

"The spies saw the contents of the edict of the former emperor in the hands of Xiangguo Gong......" Xie Yong still reported this important news in a calm voice and concisely.

But he had just made a start, and Qiu Yexian had already interrupted him in a rare way, and asked, "What is written in the edict?" ”

Xie Yong said: "The first emperor said that after his death, if the crown prince is killed, the six ministers will discuss together, and choose one of the four princes, six princes, and seven princes to succeed him......"

He personally led the most brilliant spies of the Military Aircraft Department, and tried his best to contact the people around Xiangguo Gong and secretly inquire about the edict.

However, they tried all means to get no news.

Until late last night, an old spy who had finally sneaked into Xiang Guogong's study lay on the beam for three days and three nights, and finally saw Xiang Guogong walk into the study, take out a bright yellow scroll from the secret door, and take a closer look at the contents on it by firelight.

Xiang Guogong may be old, his old eyes are dizzy, and he lit the candle flame very brightly, and the spies directly above basically saw the content of the edict.

Knowing that the matter was important, the spy sneaked out of Xu's mansion overnight and reported the shocking news directly to Xie Yong.

Of course, Xie Yong didn't dare to slack off, and came directly to the imperial study to wait for the emperor to come.

"Is this information accurate?" Qiu Yexian's face changed dramatically in shock, and he asked again and again, "Are the spies sure they can see it clearly?" Nothing is missing? Is that edict true or false? Did Xiang Guogong say anything? Where is that edict hidden? ”

He knew it!

He knew that his father had never cared about him, cared about him, and cared about him.

And he obviously shows that he is so good, so filial, and cares so much about his brother! But even if the father is dead, he still has to put him together!

Damn, so damn!

Xie Yong said: "For such a thing, you have to get the edict and confirm it with your own eyes to judge the authenticity." But the spy did read the words clearly, except for one minister's name that was pressed by Xiang Guogong's finger and couldn't read clearly, and another minister's name was a little scribbled and couldn't read clearly. ”

"As for the hiding place of the edict, after Xiang Guogong took out the edict, he left the study and took it away, and it was inconvenient for the spies to catch up, so I don't know where it is now."

"When Xiang Guogong looked at the edict carefully, he didn't say anything, just kept sighing and thinking, and seemed to be very embarrassed."

"I have sent the most experienced spies to secretly observe Xiangguogong's every move, and if there is any news, I will inform the emperor immediately."

"Who are those six people?" After listening nervously, Qiu Yexian couldn't wait to ask, "In addition to the four who saw the names clearly, there are two other ones who can probably guess who they are?" ”

Xie Yong said: "Ji Heng, Feng Xiangkong, Yin Nine Kills, Qiu Mianmian, the names of these four people can be seen clearly, and the other two are not easy to guess." ”

Autumn Night Strings: "......"

Although it is inconvenient for the other two to guess without basis, the four people known are indeed very important, and can even affect the big names of Shangguo, and the emperor was extremely important to these four people during his lifetime.

Now, among these four people, Ji Heng and Qiu Mianmian will definitely support him fully, but Yin Jiu Kill and Feng Xiangkong will definitely not support him.

In other words, once this edict is true and public, unless Feng Xiangkong and Yin Jiu Kill refuse to carry it out, these two people can only support the only surviving candidate designated by the emperor - Qiu Liuxue!

But these two people still have heavy troops. Oh, Feng Xiangkong no longer has military power, but he can definitely use his influence to cause a mutiny.

Can Ji Heng and Qiu Mianmian fight against Feng Xiangkong and Yin Nine Kills? No way!

As for the other two "referees", although they can't be determined, Xiangguo Gong is likely to be one of them, and the father may also be slightly biased towards the six princes among the three younger sons, otherwise, why would the father give the edict to Xiang Guogong?

Is the Xiangguo Guild on his side?

He pondered for a long time and shook his head.

If there was no autumn snow, Xiang Guogong might have chosen him between him and autumn dew and frost, but with autumn snow, Xiang Guogong would probably not - otherwise, why would Xiang Guogong still take out that edict so long later?

If the Duke of Xiangguo is really on his side, he will secretly destroy this edict, or he can use this edict to ask him for credit, instead of falling into embarrassment.

Think about it again, when Xiangguo Gong first returned to Tianzhou, didn't he still want to recruit Qiu Liuxue as his grandson-in-law?

All things considered, it is more likely that Xiangguo Gong is inclined to autumn snow.

The power and influence of Feng Xiangkong, Yin Jiu Killing, and Xu Xiang are enough to shake his foundation, how can he deal with this problem?

He pondered, pacing back and forth in the study, almost bumping into someone.

He was so shocked that he breathed a breath, and there were still others in this study?

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Xie Yong, and then I remembered that Xie Yong had always been here, and he didn't let Xie Yong retreat.

He was actually distracted by this edict whose authenticity had not yet been determined......

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "You follow this matter personally, and report to me as soon as you have any news." ”

At this time, there really is nothing more important than this.

He even had to be mentally prepared to fight a war.

Xie Yong went down, and Qiu Yexian was unable to handle official business, and fell into more complicated and long thoughts.

The most important thing he needs to decide now is whether he should go to Xu Xiang in person and talk to him about the edict?

As long as the edict is destroyed and never made public, then he does not need to worry that the throne will be threatened, even if Qiu Liuxue is ambitious, he will not dare to act rashly.

However...... He thought about it all night, but he still shook his head.

If Xiang Guogong is willing to be loyal to him, he will naturally take the initiative to destroy the edict or take the initiative to present the edict, and he will take the initiative to talk to Xiang Guogong about this matter, which will only make Xiang Guogong understand a terrible thing - the emperor does not trust him and investigates him secretly, so that Xiang Guogong will only feel the pressure and danger, so he will take refuge in Qiu Liuxue, or threaten him with this edict to save his life.

Therefore, it was never wise for him to go to Xiangguo Gong.

Then, what he needs to deal with the most is Feng Xiangkong and Yin Jiu Kill.

The best thing for him to do was to kill these two people, but this was the hardest, or the most impossible thing to do right now—if he could do it, he would have done it a long time ago, so why put it off until now?

Since it can't be killed, it can only be closed, can only be suppressed, and can only be co-opted.

off, unlikely.

Wooing, too, is unlikely.

What about suppression? Feng's father and daughter are both hard-boned, and they are hostile to him, so it is difficult to suppress.

However, Yin Nine Kills is not necessarily!

Didn't he have a trump card in his hand that could suppress the Yin Nine Kills?

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on his lips: as long as he can suppress the Yin Nine Killings, things will be much easier!
