Zhu Lan didn't seem to care about the silence of the second prince, he continued to talk eloquently: "Your Highness is right, these are indeed just speculations, but does Your Highness dare to bet that the poor monk guessed wrong?"

In such an eventful season, every extra consideration gives you an extra chance of survival and success, and His Highness will not fail to understand this truth.

Even if the poor monk guesses wrong, His Highness is only a little injured, and it doesn't matter if he makes more preparations. But once the incident happened, and His Highness was unprepared, he lost his life!

Finally, Wang Ziteng set off for Jiubian a month and a half ago, does His Royal Highness know where Wang Ziteng's first stop was stationed? ”

"Taiyuan." The second prince said lightly.

Zhu Lan nodded and said with a smile: "It's Taiyuan." Does Your Highness know where the proud soldiers and fierce generals who followed the Emperor Taishang's southern expedition to the north are now gathered? ”

"Southeast Water Division, Xihai Town Army, Nine Provinces Border Army!"

These basic homework, the second prince did more solidly than anyone else.

"That's right, these three border armies are all elite forces left over from the Emperor's conquest, and most of the senior generals in them were promoted by the Emperor Taishang.

It can be said that these three elite border troops with a total of more than 600,000 yuan are the foundation of the Emperor Taishang, although he has lived in Xiyuan for more than ten years, he can still suppress the four seas!

However, the East China Sea is too far away, the West Sea is even farther away, and there are mountains and rivers crisscrossing it, His Royal Highness thinks that if there is a change in Beijing, the Emperor Taishang can mobilize it first, or the first one that may change and cannot be controlled, where is it? ”

The second prince's face changed slightly.

If there is a change in the capital, the border army that may threaten the capital first is naturally the border army of the nine provinces.

In the nine provinces in the north, there is an endless grassland, as well as a horse and a flat road.

It is the farthest area between the rivers, and the cavalry can reach Beijing in only ten days!

At this time, how could he not understand what Zhu Lan meant.

Taiyuan chokes nine sides.

Wang Ziteng stationed troops here, which can not only block the information from the capital to a certain extent, but also resist the border army entering Beijing in case of life changes.

This is, Emperor Jingtai's back hand?

Unable to deny this suspicion, the second prince asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"How? This depends on His Highness's means. His Highness still has more than twenty days to prepare. ”

Zhu Lan smiled naturally.

He is not a god, it is impossible to do everything, and being able to help the second prince make a correct judgment with the help of well-informed information and his understanding of Emperor Jingtai is the greatest help to him.

The one who really decides whether it can be done or not is always the second prince himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his face.

He is destined to be a man who will not see the light of day, regardless of success or failure. Therefore, he will not hesitate to use disfigurement to ensure the safety of his actions and the safety of the second prince.

The second prince's eyes were illusory for a few moments, and finally nodded.

After handing over the time and method of the next meeting with Zhu Lan, he had to send someone to see him off.

Zhu Lan suddenly said: "Does Your Highness know Jingyuan Bojia Baoyu?" ”

The second prince looked at him and did not answer such a stupid question.

Zhu Lan obviously didn't expect the second prince to reply, he continued: "Two months ago, the poor monk sent someone to the Zhen family in the south......

"What are you doing at Zhen's house?"

Zhu Lan also didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Does Your Highness know that the Zhen family has a son named Zhen Baoyu, who is very strange. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Hehe, this Zhen family treasure jade, and this Jia family treasure jade, in addition to the name is similar, and even the appearance is said to be exactly the same, Your Highness said strange or not?"

"How could there be such a coincidence?" The second prince is yes.

Then looked at Zhu Lan, and some didn't understand why Zhu Lan would say such a strange thing at this time.

Zhu Lan understood the doubts of the second prince, but he didn't say it directly, and also asked another question: "Your Royal Highness has known Jingyuan Bojia Baoyu over the years, what do you think of him?" ”

The second prince was silent for a moment, putting aside those rights and wrongs, he had to admit: "Outstanding ability, medium city government, and intelligence far better than people of the same age."

If possible, what this king wants most of all is to be like him. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Lan frowned, but didn't say anything, only said: "Judging from the past, the poor monk also admits that Jing Yuanbo has his excellent side, but just like this, it can make the Emperor Taishang, who has been honored for more than ten years, so favored that he loves and cares for him, His Royal Highness doesn't think that it is somewhat contrary to common sense?"

In the life of the emperor, he has become famous all over the world, and what a variety of talented people have he seen? How can you be moved by a young man who is less than a crown?

is His Royal Highness, it may not be much worse than Uncle Jing Yuan, and he is also the prince, calculated carefully, in addition to the Emperor Taishang gave his head once for His Royal Highness when Qian Zhao died, and named His Royal Highness the King of Qi, usually, can you be summoned to the garden to fish or even play chess? ”

The second prince's face wrinkled: "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhu Lan said with burning eyes: "Your Highness may not know that among the princes of the Emperor Taishang in the early years, the Emperor Taishang's favorite was the eldest prince, but unfortunately the eldest prince was unlucky and died in the royal turmoil."

Of course, the eldest prince was not the only one who died in that civil strife.

Later, it was the three princes who suddenly rose to the occasion and accompanied the Emperor Taishang to fight in the south and the north, becoming the most powerful candidate for the prince among the remaining heirs of the Emperor Taishang.

Finally, it is His Majesty the Emperor today. ”

The second prince's eyes moved, although these were old secrets, but he knew a little bit about them.

Emperor Taishang originally had thirteen princes, but now there are only two left, Emperor Jingtai and King Zhongshun, so you can imagine the cruelty and filth of those things back then.

But it's not surprising that the two in front of them are already noble. The eldest prince was born by the first queen, and the third prince was the second queen, that is, the current queen mother.

Only his father is the emperor, and his biological mother is just a concubine.

And because the Queen Mother is here, she has not been able to posthumously crown the queen.

According to the folk algorithm, his father is still considered a concubine until now......

However, when he thought about the only Nine Emperor Uncle he left, he felt that the Emperor Taishang was indeed still a saint, and his father Emperor was definitely much stronger than that one no matter what.

Turning these things in his mind, the second prince didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Lan.

Zhu Lan said: "There is another thing, the third princess back then, and the later Prince Yizhong, is the daughter of the Zhen family, that is, Zhen Baoyu's aunt. ”

When the second prince heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Lan said these two things together, obviously not just gossiping. However, if these two things can really be connected, the relationship between them is too daunting.

Let's think about the attitude of the Emperor Taishang towards Jia Baoyu mentioned earlier, as well as the appearance of Jia Baoyu and Zhen Baoyu......

The second prince didn't dare to think deeply, and even felt that his brain capacity was not enough.

"What proof do you say you have of these? Wasn't Prince Yizhong's Mansion destroyed by the White Lotus Sect back then? ”

Zhu Lan smiled slightly: "White Lotus Sect? Your Highness believes? ”

The second prince did not speak. It doesn't matter if he believes it or not, that's what the world says.

The Emperor Taishang was angry and washed the White Lotus Sect with blood, that was a real thing.

Zhu Lan explained: "The Yizhong Palace's Mansion has indeed been destroyed, and it is indeed related to the White Lotus Sect, but the White Lotus Sect is just obeying the orders of His Majesty today. Moreover, the person who took the lead back then was a poor monk. ”

Saying that, ignoring the second prince who was looking at him with a disgusted expression, Zhu Lan continued: "Moreover, the poor monk can confirm that everyone in the palace died at that time, and there was no fish that slipped through the net. ”

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart......

Immediately, his heart trembled, and he found that he was actually afraid that there was really someone in the Yizhong Palace.

Yes, the truth that suddenly came out of nowhere, and the sudden doom to get rid of his father had overwhelmed him, and he really didn't know how to deal with it if it involved the old things of more than ten years ago.

So he said dissatisfiedly: "Since you are sure that everyone is dead, what are you talking about?" ”

He has nothing to say about the grievances between Emperor Jingtai and Prince Yizhong's mansion. Even if he didn't have the idea of killing the eldest prince, how could he be responsible?

Come to think of it, the grievances back then were much deeper than their generation, otherwise, Emperor Jingtai would not have done so much......

That's it......

The second prince suddenly laughed at himself.

He is not a real prince, in that case, what else can't Emperor Jingtai do?

Zhu Lan didn't know the state of mind of the second prince, he only had calculations in his eyes.

"In the world, who can guarantee absolute infallibility? Even if the poor monks saw the corpses of all the princes and county lords of the Yizhong Palace, they didn't dare to guarantee that they must be themselves.

Moreover, the poor monk did find something strange in the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

The Zhen family is a Jinling family, and it is reasonable to say that it is not too difficult to find out the birth of Zhen Baoyu, but the poor monk has sent several waves of people, but he has never been able to find out an exact news!

It seems that no living person has ever seen Zhen Baoyu when he was a child.

Hehe, a lot of things, can't be found, doesn't it just mean that there is a problem. ”

The second prince looked thoughtful, and suddenly asked, "Why do you have such suspicions, and why did you go to Zhen's house to investigate?" ”

That's the key, the motivation, that's the most telling.

"As for why the poor monk was suspicious, I couldn't help but tell His Highness that as early as the first time he saw Uncle Jing Yuan, the poor monk felt that Uncle Jing Yuan Jia Baoyu was similar to His Royal Highness Prince Yizhong back then!"

The second prince's face changed again.

How old was Prince Yizhong when he died? Naturally, he was not impressed, however, he believed that Zhu Lan did not lie to him.

If what Zhu Lan said is true, then can he regard these as coincidences, and the Emperor Taishang is just a love for the house and Wu?

No!

As a superior person, or even a prince who wants to peek at the great treasure, he must remove all the stumbling blocks that may hinder his progress.

"As for why the poor monk found out about the Zhen family, without him, the poor monk couldn't find any problems in Jia Baoyu's body, so he could only start from what happened back then.

And the Zhen family, it was after the murder of the Yizhong Mansion that the family really settled in Jinling. Isn't that enough? ”

The second prince couldn't calm down.

If it is according to Zhu Lan's guess, Zhen Baoyu, oh no, no, no, no, it is Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu is the surviving heir of Prince Yizhong back then, then he doesn't know what kind of result will be!

He, no, first of all, his father, must be restless!

"Is there any other evidence?"

For example, if it is true, how did the Zhen family steal people! For example, even then, the Emperor Taishang should have looked at Zhen Baoyu differently, why did he suddenly become Jia Baoyu again?

Zhu Lan shook her head: "There is no evidence!" I sent someone to check Jiafu, Jia Baoyu's birth, there is no problem, watching him come into the world, even his nurse from childhood to adulthood, and the maids and daughters-in-law who have taken care of him since childhood, each of them can be found, and they can ask clearly, and there is nothing suspicious

After all, even the youngest heir of the palace back then, the prince born by the princess, was more than a full year older than Jia Baoyu. In such a situation, if you want to hide from the world, it is impossible to hide from the world without a trace of footprints. ”

The second prince pondered: "So, even if there is a real problem, it is more likely that the Zhen family is suspicious, and Jia Baoyu is just suspicious?" But it doesn't make sense......

"It really doesn't make sense, if it's okay, where are there so many coincidences in the world? If there is a problem, why is the person favored by the emperor Jia Baoyu?

There is another strange thing, Zhen Baoyu of the Zhen family in Jiangnan has become completely stupid more than three years ago......

Hehe, so many strange things are gathered in one place, even if you can't figure out the relationship between them, it is enough to explain the problem.

Actually, it's very simple to prove. ”

"How do you prove it?"

"Without him, just get rid of Jia Baoyu."

……

"If Your Highness can really think like this, it is not a good thing.

However, the poor monk still has to say that the stakes are very high, and there can be no slightheartening.

And, to prove it, too"
