Chapter 1568: The Situation Is Grim

During the period when Murong Hang was about to ascend the throne, the people of Taipingguan would definitely do their best to protect Murong Hang, there were countless masters around him, and it was almost impossible to succeed in assassinating Murong Hang, so I had to think of other ways to pull Murong Hang off the horse.

The current thinking is to find out that Murong Hang is related to the death of Emperor Zhengming, as long as he catches the handle and announces it in public, Murong Hang will not only not be able to ascend the throne, but will also be ruined, and bear the infamy of killing his father and usurping the throne, and even I can execute him on the spot, this is the result I hope for.

Originally, I served as the commander of the Shenwei Battalion, and it was easier to investigate because of my authority, but now that the position of the commander of the Shenwei Battalion has been removed, it has undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

I even suspect that the death of Emperor Zhengming and my removal from the head of the Shenwei Battalion were both key links in Murong Hang's plan, clearing obstacles one by one and paving the way for him to ascend to the throne.

The most important thing now is when the enthronement ceremony will take place and how much time I have to prepare, which will soon be decided.

Of course, in addition to Emperor Zhengming's side, I can also start to hold other aspects at the same time.

For example, what is the relationship between Murong Hang's current wife Jiang Chuying and Brother Qing, they are haunted by Qingheguan at the same time, is there any ulterior secret behind it.

If he could grasp some of Murong Hang's secrets from Jiang Chuying and Brother Qing, it would also be possible to pull Murong Hang off the horse.

I shook my head and said to Shi Zhao: "Assassination will not work, the master of Taipingguan is like a cloud, and now that Murong Hang is about to ascend the throne, Taipingguan will definitely protect Murong Hang with all his might, and it is almost impossible to succeed." We can only think of other ways. ”

Brother Yao said, "Xiao Kun, what do you think?" ”

I muttered, "I plan to do both things, find someone from the Shenwei Camp to help me investigate the cause of Emperor Zhengming's death, and then ......"

Brother Yao heard my words and interjected, "Why do you suspect that there is something wrong with the emperor's death?" ”

I said: "Well, although the emperor has been seriously ill and hovering on the verge of death, it cannot be ruled out that Murong Hang can't wait and kill his father and usurp the throne. ”

Brother Yao frowned and said, "It's unlikely, his name is written on the edict, how could he take a risk and do such a thing?" ”

I smiled and said, "Everything is possible, Murong Hang can't be measured by common sense." There is also a way to start with Murong Hang's wife Jiang Chuying to see if you can find some clues from her. ”

Brother Yao heard my words and said: "Jiang Chuying's side is not easy to handle, I was just about to tell you, now this Jiang Chuying is huddled in the Second Prince's Mansion most of the time, even if he goes out, he is hugging from front to back, with dozens of entourage, and our people can't get close at all." ”

I said, "Has she met with Brother Qing recently?" ”

Brother Yao shook his head and said, "Since Brother Qing was arrested by us last time, the two have not met again, and that Brother Qing has also become ghostly, and he has never been to his nightclub once." ”

I frowned and said, "Will Brother Qing be out of Zhongjing?" ”

Brother Yao said: "The person is still in Zhongjing, our people met him once on the street, and they wanted to follow him, but he found out and got rid of him." ”

I nodded, I felt that if I wanted to pull Murong Hang off the horse this time, the difficulty was really not ordinary. Then he said: "No matter what, as long as there is a little opportunity, we can't let it go, Jiang Chuying and Brother Qing's surveillance must not be relaxed." ”

Brother Yao said: "By the way, Qingheguan's monthly charity fundraiser is coming, should we go and see it?" ”

I wanted to investigate last time, but because of the temporary accident in Biyun Temple, I had to change my mind, and I didn't make it, and when I heard Brother Yao's words, I immediately asked, "How many days are left?" ”

Brother Yao said, "It'll be in three days." ”

I said, "Then let's go and investigate in three days to see if there are any ulteriors in this Qingheguan and Murong Hang." ”

Brother Yao nodded and said okay.

After talking in the living room for a while, although I had a clear line and policy, I deeply felt that it would be difficult to turn things around this time and make Murong Hang unable to ascend the throne.

Murong Qi definitely didn't want to see Murong Hang ascend the throne, so he must be planning on his side.

But Murong Qi is too domineering, and I don't want to see his methods.

If there is a mutiny, it is very likely that Ji Shaojun's Zhongjing Janissaries will take the situation out of my control.

Zhongjing is also likely to be full of blood, with countless casualties and bloody rain.

After the eldest prince left the palace after he was busy in the palace, he called me as soon as possible and asked me to meet with him in the palace to discuss ways to deal with the current situation.

The eldest prince, like me, is not willing to lose, and we are still working hard for the final victory.

I promised the eldest prince on the spot, and then led Shi Zhao, Brother Yao, Da Niu, Da Zhuang and others to the Great Prince's Mansion.

The Marquis was ordered to meet me at the gate of the Great Prince's Mansion, and when he saw me, he greeted me, led me in to meet the Great Prince, and said as he walked: "Xiao Kun, the situation is very bad now, Your Highness has put all your hopes on you. ”

I nodded and said, "This time I was dismissed from the position of commander, and I didn't expect it at all, it was me who dragged down His Highness. ”

Hou Junjue said: "You can't do anything about Biyun Temple, if it were me, I would also deal with it the same, hey!" It's just that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma. ”

The sigh of the Marquis is also what I want to say, Biyun Temple has encountered a crisis of annihilation, and I can't sit idly by anyway, but if I go, it will conflict with my duty as the commander of the Shenwei Battalion, and it is impossible to achieve the best of both worlds.

It's just that the timing is too unfortunate, just when Emperor Zhengming died, the situation was invisibly magnified several times.

I said, "No matter what, I'm going to make a final effort." What about Your Highness? ”

The Marquis said: "Your Highness has just come back, and now he is bathing and changing, you go to the living room to wait for him first." ”

Then we followed the Marquis to the living room of the main building and waited for the eldest prince, and everywhere we passed along the way, we saw that the garrison of the grand prince's palace had also become strict.

It seems that in this turbulent season, the eldest prince's safety has also been raised to a new level.

The eldest prince is not the first to bear the brunt, the second prince Murong Hang, who is the first to bear the brunt, can imagine that the assassination plan is not advisable, in addition to letting the person who goes to assassinate innocently send him to death, there may also be risks.

The eldest prince was changing clothes, and the eldest princess entertained us.

During the conversation, the eldest princess and I made eye contact, intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a special warm feeling, I can't say why, but it made me feel that in this grim situation, I felt another meaning.

I'm not fighting for my personal goals, I'm fighting for my family, I'm fighting for my son.

The eldest prince soon came down, he had just taken a bath, and his mental outlook seemed to be refreshed, but he could not hide the anxiety and worry in his heart.

After he sat down, he first handed out a few cigars to me and Brother Yao Shizhao, and then sighed and said, "Xiao Kun, time is very tight now, and the day for the funeral of the Holy Lord today has been set. ”

When I heard the words of the eldest prince, my heart tightened, and I asked, "When?" ”

The eldest prince said, "Twenty days later." ”

I was taken aback and said, "So fast!" ”

I think it should be at least a month, and twenty days is shorter than I expected.

The eldest prince said: "Today, Murong Hang invited the Taiping Guan Guan to enter the palace and choose the day of the funeral, there was originally a day in half a month, but Murong Hang and I strongly objected, so we chose the day after twenty days. The second child can't wait now, and naturally hopes that the sooner the funeral is held, the better. ”

I understood Murong Hang's current plan, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it was better to ascend the throne early, and then asked, "What news is there from the third prince?" ”

The eldest prince said: "I heard that he summoned the people of the Ji family to meet overnight last night, and it is estimated that he was discussing countermeasures, and there is no sign yet." ”

I said, "The Three Princes should pay attention, the Zhongjing Praetorian Guard is the largest army in Zhongjing. ”

The eldest prince said: "It's a pity that you lost your position as the commander of the Shenwei Battalion, otherwise even if the third child made trouble, he would not have no confidence at all." ”

I then said, "Have you chosen the person who is in charge of the Shenwei Battalion?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Murong Hang mentioned it today, he proposed Guan Weiqing, and the queen is still considering it." ”

"Guan Weiqing?"

I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.
