Chapter 411: Behind the Scenes
Seeing that Fan Yao began to believe his words, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but add another fierce message: "Fan Xiang, the reason why I want to explain this matter to Fan Xiang is not to find out the murderer who framed him, but to worry that this person has ulterior motives!" Don't forget, this person can let the master of the palace frame him, and he can let the master of the palace do other things for him! ”
After listening to Zhang Shumo's words, Fan Yao broke out in a cold sweat. If the assassin is a master in the palace, then this assassin must have a lot of opportunities to get close to His Majesty, and if the person behind the scenes wants to rebel, then His Majesty may also become the target of his assassination!
Thinking of this, Fan Yao couldn't help but ask Zhang Shumo, "How did you exclude the Second Highness?" ”
Zhang Shumo shrugged: "Actually, I can't rule out Second Highness, I'm just afraid that Fan will misunderstand me, so I don't dare to say it." ”
Fan Yao fell into deep thought again after hearing this. In the palace, except for the two highnesses, the only ones who can make those little eunuchs obediently obey are those ladies. But the ladies would never dare to do such a thing, so it was the two highnesses who were the most suspicious. Zhang Shumo is right, if this matter is done by His Royal Highness, he can completely blame it on Xu Fei, so that he can clear his suspicion, and then let His Royal Highness take the blame. But he didn't do it, which means he didn't do it. In this way, only the Second Highness remains.
Zhang Shumo observed Fan Yao's expression, and saw that his expression had changed slightly, so he asked, "Fan Xiang has an object of suspicion?" ”
Fan Yao shook his head: "Not yet!" However, the old man believes that even if this person designs to frame Zhang Gongzi, he will not have any different intentions! ”
Zhang Shumo raised his eyebrows, looked at Fan Yao's eyes and said, "Fan Xiang, does that person have any different intentions before you can know after trying!" Could it be that Fan Xiang is willing to bury a scourge by His Majesty's side? ”
Fan Yao's pupils shrank together, Zhang Shumo was right, as long as he tried it, he would know if "this person" would have different intentions!
Although he thought so, Fan Yao still rejected Zhang Shumo: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, I won't worry about the affairs of Yanguo." What Childe said just now is right, these words do seem to be deliberately framing my Minister of Yanguo, fortunately, only you know, so please don't say it, otherwise it will be bad to cause others to misunderstand! ”
Zhang Shumo already had a rough plan in his heart, but he didn't expect Fan Yao to directly reject him. I had to say stupidly: "Since this is the case, Fan Xiang should be thinking too much." Please rest assured, Fan Xiang will never dare to talk about this matter to others! ”
Fan Yao smiled: "Okay! In that case, then Childe please go back! ”
Zhang Shumo left the Prime Minister's Mansion, feeling a little unwilling. Fan Yao should be very worried about Gongsun Ze's safety, why don't you want to hear about your plan? Or is he really suspecting himself of framing others?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo shook his head unconsciously: Probably not, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not, Fan Yao will definitely be careful, maybe he just doesn't want to let himself know what he thinks.
The words were divided into two ends, Gongsun Yang went to the palace of the Second Highness under the leadership of Bao Yi, and after the report, Gongsun Zhi met with Gongsun Yang alone in the study.
"Second brother, my father asked me to ask you to watch the fire clouds on the outskirts of the city at three o'clock tomorrow." Gongsun Yang said.
Gongsun Zhi frowned and asked in surprise, "Why do you want to meet on the outskirts of the city?" Could it be that my uncle is afraid that he will have something to do with this palace? ”
Gongsun Yang hurriedly waved his hand: "Second brother misunderstood, father is definitely not that kind of person." But I don't know the specific things, maybe my father wants to tell my second brother something confidential, and I don't want others to know. ”
Although Gongsun Zhi was puzzled in his heart, he still nodded in agreement: "Okay, please tell my uncle that I will definitely go to the appointment on time." ”
As soon as Gongsun Yang left, Gongsun Zhi immediately called Hua Wu: "Hua Wu, you go out of the palace early tomorrow morning, go to Huoyunguan on the outskirts of the city to stare at Gongsun Kang, and see if there are any tricks!" ”
Because the officials of the court and the central government have been busy with the worship of the Taimiao in the past few days, Gongsun Xue simply exempted the early court in the past few days, so that people could report something alone.
So Fan Yao came to the palace early the next morning and asked to see Gongsun Ze.
At this time, Gongsun Xue was reading a book leisurely, and when he saw Fan Yao coming over, he smiled and asked: "Fan Xiang, I just let people hang up, and the hexagram says that there will be a great joy in my Yan Kingdom in the near future, what do you say will be a good thing?" ”
Fan Yao raised his eyes and glanced at Gongsun Ze, seeing that he was in such a good mood, he boldly said: "It's not clear what is going on, but yesterday Zhang Shumo found Weichen and said something that made Weichen very worried!" ”
Gongsun Zeyi frowned when he heard this: "Did something happen again?" ”
Fan Yao shook his head, and then repeated what Zhang Shumo said yesterday to Gongsun Ze.
Gongsun Xue sneered after hearing this: "In my opinion, this matter is simply out of nowhere!" I don't know if Zhang Shumo is really worried about my safety, or if he has ulterior motives! ”
Fan Yao hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, I think this kind of thing should be careful and beware!" ”
Gongsun Xue sighed: "Hey, my good mood has been ruined by you!" I'll leave this matter to you, and don't bother with this kind of thing in the future! ”
Fan Yao hurriedly saluted and retreated. Waiting for Fan Yao to leave, the more Gongsun Xue thought about it, the more angry he became, so he summoned the eunuch next to him: "Xuanzhang Shumo came to the palace to see me!" ”
Not long after, Zhang Shumo was brought to Gongsun Ze's side.
Seeing Gongsun Ze, Zhang Shumo was a little apprehensive in his heart: he just told Fan Yao what he thought yesterday, and Gongsun Ze summoned him today, has Fan Yao already told Gongsun Ze? If so, will Gongsun Xue feel that he is looking for trouble?
Gongsun Ze saw that Zhang Shumo seemed a little uneasy, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Shumo, you seem to be a little nervous?" How? Are you afraid of me? ”
Zhang Shumo hurriedly shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, the foreign minister is not afraid of Your Majesty, the foreign minister just feels the majesty of Your Majesty, so he can't help but be a little excited." ”
Gongsun Zeyi laughed even more cheerfully when he heard it: "Hahaha! I didn't expect you kid to be quite good at talking! Let me ask you, this time I Dayan negotiated peace with you, what do you think we should do next? ”
Zhang Shumo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel strange, why did Gongsun Ze ask himself this? Are you testing yourself??
Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately became cautious, thought about it again and again, and then replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Dayan's alliance with our country will inevitably offend Zheng Guo, Your Majesty should be careful to guard against Zheng Guo now and prevent the other party from retaliating!" ”
Gongsun Xue laughed: "I won't tell you anything, my Dayan has always been afraid of the enemy, but I am a little worried about your country." Although the two countries are now in an alliance, what if your country is behind my back? ”
