"Perhaps, the reason why the first emperor made him the prince was completely helpless!"

After Ye Xuemei finished saying this, Gongliang kept shaking his head in disbelief, and he said, "No, how is it possible?" When the royal brother was just reaching the weak crown, his father had already asked him to learn how to review the folds, how could it be what you said? No way! ”

After seeing that he didn't believe it, Ye Xuemei continued: "Then think about it, your mother, what kind of attitude does she have towards the Empress Dowager Wan?" ”

Gongliang just wanted to say that it must be respectful, but before the words could be spoken, he remembered the past, at that time, the attitude of the mother concubine towards the Empress Dowager Wan was not like respect, but more like fear.

Ye Xuemei said: "Also, as far as I know, the four kings with different surnames who founded the Song Kingdom together with their ancestors did not like to be greedy for the powerful, so they gradually disappeared in the Song Dynasty's many years of imperial succession. But not only did the Wan family not gradually fall lonely, but more and more people in the court had a relationship with them. The king of Pingyang married the younger sister of the Empress Dowager Wan, and the son of the king of Jinyang married the niece of the Empress Dowager Wan. Six or seven out of ten of the court members were their people. ”

"No, it can't be! I don't believe it! It won't be like this! ”

Ye Xuemei sighed and said, "I know you don't believe it, but the truth of the matter is like this, you can't believe it." If you really don't believe it, then wait for time to prove it, but at that time, it is likely that what will be witnessed is the life of your mother, Concubine Chen! Or the Seven Kings! ”

After hearing Ye Xuemei say this, Gongliang was even more surprised, and he said, "What do you mean? Seventh brother, seventh brother, what's wrong with him? ”

"They have found out that the person behind the prison knife is none other than the Seven Kings."

After Gongliang heard the news, he was like thunder, and he muttered, "How is this possible? How could someone like the seventh brother collude with Heshe? ”

"I'm afraid it's for the throne! After all, when it comes to the real sister-in-law, it's actually him! ”

Only a few days later, the amount of information received by Gongliang Yuzhi was completely opposite to before, and he couldn't even believe it, but he had to believe it.

After Ye Xuemei saw his shocked look, she said, "Last night, the prisoner was almost assassinated by a woman, and that woman was the same person who stabbed you before. Thinking about this time, the Seven Kings already knew about the existence of the Night Camp, and they also had his preparations. But he must not know that the night camp is in your hands, he must think that it is in the hands of Emperor Song. Then, in order to save his life, he will definitely do something that ordinary people can't predict! I don't know what he was going to do, but I can be sure that if he takes the wrong step, he'll be doomed. He is now on the edge of the cliff, it depends on whether you save it or not! ”

Gongliang stood in place, not knowing what to do.

Ye Xuemei looked at him like this, and then said: "You also have to think about it, the Heshe Kingdom has been closed to the country for so many years, and few people know about their country's affairs, and this time they suddenly chose to cooperate with King Mu, and the real meaning behind it is worth exploring." In addition, if the prince plans to save King Mu, then there will inevitably be one more person who knows the secrets of the Dark Night Camp. The consequences of this matter should also be carefully considered by the prince. ”

As soon as Ye Xuemei's words were finished, Gongliang shouted outside: "Cai He! ”

When Manager Cai heard the order, he hurriedly walked in, and said to him: "Go to King Mu's mansion and invite him, just say that I have something to discuss with him, let him put me down no matter what he is doing, and come over!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Cai He saw that Gongliang's face was very unkind, so he didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly rode to King Mu's mansion.

King Mu's mansion was still some distance away from the palace, and even if he was quick to whip up, it took nearly an hour to invite King Mu over.

Gongliang Yanqing came to the South Courtyard, and when he saw Gongliang Yuzhi's face was very bad, he asked with concern: "Fifth brother, is your wound still painful?" ”

After Gongliang Yuzhi saw him coming, he said to him straight to the point: "Old Seven, why did you collude with the people of Heshe Kingdom, and also killed Li Zheng and blamed Guangjing?" ”

Gongliang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Fifth brother, what are you talking nonsense?" When did I collude with the people of Hesher? ”

"You still don't admit it, do you? How wrong are you? Gongliang stopped before he came, held his breath, and after seeing him, he questioned him, but he refused to admit it, and in a fit of rage, he stretched out his fist and slammed it into his face.

After Gongliang Yanqing was beaten like this by him, half of his face was swollen, and he said, "Fifth brother, are you crazy?" Hit me for no reason! Do you have to make me admit that you have colluded with the people of Heshe, so that you are happy? After you were injured, who rushed to see you in the first place, gave you the best medicine, and caught the murderer all over the city? Do you still have a little conscience? Do you still think of me as a brother? ”

Hearing his words, Gongliang was even more distressed, he pulled Gongliang Yanqing, who was knocked to the ground, and said, "Seventh brother, it is precisely because I treat you as a younger brother that I treat you like this." Do you know what you're doing? ”

Ye Xuemei saw the picture of the two holding each other on the side, and she said: "His Royal Highness King Mu, you still admit it, the prince knows everything about you!" You came in the first place because you felt guilty. The Assassins of Heshe, who stabbed several other princes, were wounded in flesh and skin, and only the prince was the only one who was wounded in the vital place, and almost lost his life. I think you also questioned the woman of the country of Hesher about this. ”

At this time, King Mu really noticed Ye Xuemei. Although he also knew that Ye Xuemei was an extremely beautiful woman before, he was not very good at women, so after taking a look, he left it behind. But today, seeing her expression, he felt that she could see through his inner thoughts at a glance.

"Who the hell are you?" Gongliang Yanqing asked.

However, Ye Xuemei didn't answer him directly, but just said: "I think that woman must have told you that they accidentally missed!" But Lord Mu, you seem to have forgotten that a few years ago, the prince once fought with the Heshe Kingdom, and killed a lot of enemy troops in the Heshe Kingdom at that time. How could the women of the country of Hesher forget such a thing? If it weren't for the fact that the follow-up things hadn't been completed, I'm afraid that the arrow would have been quenched long ago, and the prince wouldn't have survived! ”

King Mu was also deeply annoyed after listening to Ye Xuemei's words, she was right, if Gongliang hadn't survived this hurdle, he would definitely live in deep guilt in the future.

"But King Mu, you may have forgotten, even if you find out the Phoenix Tower, so what? If Gongliang Rong is still sitting on his dragon chair, he is still the emperor of the Song Kingdom, but you are worried about your life! ”

"No, it won't!" Gongliang Yanqing retorted: "As long as the world knows his true face, it will definitely not be like this!" I must lift the veil of his hypocrisy! ”

"Brother Huang is so benevolent, he is not a hypocritical person!"

Listening to Gongliang's justification, Gongliang Yanqing laughed sadly, and he said, "Fifth brother, you are so naïve! Do you know that this throne originally belonged to me, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Wan, their Wan clan controlled the government, how could my father be willing to pass on the throne to him? Gongliang Rongruo relied on the power of the Empress Dowager Wan to snatch everything that originally belonged to me, even the throne! It's a pity that I don't have the protection of the queen mother, otherwise, how can this position be his turn? ”

After saying this, looking at Gongliang's regretful eyes, Gongliang Yanqing continued: "Fifth brother may not know one thing, four years ago, you started a war with the people of Heshe Country on the border, at that time there was a shortage of grain and grass, and my father ordered Gongliang Rongruo to be responsible for the mobilization of grain and grass, but because of the famine that year, there was a serious shortage of grain and grass, and it was necessary to mobilize the grain in the capital. But in that case, the stock of grain in the capital will become smaller, and Gongliangrong has been unwilling to do this because of this matter. Those people in the DPRK and China even used this as an excuse to prevent grain from being transported to the border. If it weren't for the pressure of my father and the emperor to order the grain and grass to be transported to the border, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to come back! Do you know that when I looked at the faces of those people, I was disgusted. ”

"Then how did you know that the Phoenix Tower was the intelligence point of Emperor Song, and how did you get in touch with the people of Heshe Kingdom?" Ye Xuemei asked.

"It was an accident that unexpectedly discovered that the people of Hesher were investigating the Phoenix Tower. I followed them secretly to see what they had found, and who knew that they had been discovered. Later, I met Heshu Hongling, and she told me that Gongliang Rongruo had twice sent people to Heshe to spy on information. And, she also proposed cooperation. ”

"Where there is cooperation, there must be conditions, what is the agreement between them and you?"

"They helped me to seize the throne, and I will hand over the good face to them!"

"Is that all?"

"Otherwise, what else?" Gongliang Yanqing asked inexplicably.

Ye Xuemei shook her head gently, the Luoying tassel on her head drew a cold light in the air, and she said: "You were deceived by them, the people of Heshe Kingdom came all the way to Kaifeng, is it just to take a person's life?" It's not that simple! ”

At this time, Gongliang Yanqing hung his head and was silent, in fact, he also thought that the purpose of the Heshe people might not be so simple, but the obsession with revenge blinded him and made him ignore this problem.

After listening to their words, Gongliang also lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "In this way, I also think of the war four years ago, and they don't seem to be doing their best, more, like ...... In temptation! ”

The corners of Ye Xuemei's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "Perhaps, they have already installed the people of Heshe Country in Kaifeng!" ”

After saying this, Gongliang looked at Gongliang Yanqing and said, "Seventh brother, you can stop it!" ”

Gongliang Yanqing replied unwillingly: "No, how can I be willing!" How can I get Gong Liangrong to sit in that position like that? That position was mine! ”

"Aren't you afraid of any conspiracy from the people of Hesher?"

"This is Kaifeng, even if they want to play any conspiracy, they can't toss anything, what am I afraid of?" Gongliang Yanqing replied disappreciatively.

Ye Xuemei looked at him and shook her head, "No, in fact, the really terrifying person is not the people of Heshe Kingdom, but Emperor Song. Seven Kings, have you ever thought about why Emperor Ming wanted to pass the throne to Gongliang Rongruo? ”

Gongliang Yanqing said angrily: "It's not because of the slut of the Empress Dowager Wan, I don't know what means she used to confuse my father!" ”

"If only the truth of the matter was what you thought it was! At the beginning, Emperor Ming was actually unwilling to hand over the country to Gongliang Rongruo, but if it was not handed over to him, I am afraid that none of your other brothers would live to ascend the throne! ”

Listening to Ye Xuemei's analysis, the Seven Kings became more and more angry, "What does he think he is?" Did he think the throne would always be his? Maybe it's not a good thing to cooperate with the people of Heshe, but as long as I can drag him out of that position, it's worth it for me to die! ”

Ye Xuemei looked at him so angry, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she said: "Seven Kings, you are so impulsive, you are really going to fall for the people of Heshe Country!" Could it be that you want to give up the country of the Song Dynasty to others? ”

Gongliang Yuzhi also persuaded from the side: "Seventh brother, there are some things we can discuss in the long run!" It doesn't have to be this way! You may think that you can afford to lose your life alone, but have you ever thought about your wife and children at home? ”

Gongliang's words touched the weakest place in Gongliang Yanqing's heart, he thought of his princess, and the child who was not yet full-term, the child was still so young, if he really did this, he would die alone, but there were also princesses and children, they were innocent, they were also implicated, how could they live?

Gongliang Yanqing wanted to rush out and take revenge desperately, but after hearing these words, the foot he stepped out of was able to be retracted, he burst into tears, and smashed the ground with his fist, until his hand was bleeding, and he didn't stop.

Gongliang stopped him and said, "Seventh brother, don't be like this, everything, we can find a solution to the problem!" ”

Gongliang Yanqing raised his eyes full of tears, looked at Gongliang Yuzhi, and said: "Fifth brother, let me grovel to Gongliang Yanqing every day, my heart is really worse than death." I'd rather be the one sitting in that position than you! ”

After Gongliang stopped listening to his words, he immediately shouted: "Seventh brother, don't talk nonsense! ”

Gongliang Yuzhi still minds Gongliang Yanqing's words, after all, now he is just a prince, it is better not to say these words, so as not to be tongue-in-cheek.

Ye Xuemei stood aside and looked at the two of them quietly, after hearing this, she smiled and said, "This matter is actually not difficult to do, but you can't be in a hurry!" The Seven Kings don't have to worry too much, although Xuemei is not talented, she can still contribute to this! ”

Gongliang Yanqing can be said to have never trusted anyone, but for some reason, he looked at Ye Xuemei and felt that he trusted her so much. So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe the girl!" ”

"It's just that I have broken the covenant with the people of Nakhshe, and they will not rest on their laurels!"

Ye Xuemei smiled lightly and replied: "Seven Kings, you don't have to worry about this, wait until tomorrow, I will go to the Seven Kings' Mansion with the prince and explain it to the people of Nashe Country!" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow!" Gongliang Yanqing took a deep look at Gongliang before leaving.

After Gongliang Yanqing left, Gongliang's face was very ugly, and he said to Ye Xuemei: "I have something I want to ask the girl, I don't know if the girl can answer truthfully!" ”

Ye Xuemei knew what he wanted to ask, so she lowered her head and took a sip of tea in the teacup, "If the prince has anything he wants to ask, just ask!" ”

"Girl, are you planning to help the seventh brother ascend to the throne?"

"Why not?"

"Miss Ye, this must not be! If you help the seventh brother ascend to the throne, then the kingdoms of Heshe and Wu, who are eyeing each other, will take the opportunity to send troops to attack the Song state. At that time, the Song Kingdom will suffer from the enemy, and the people of the Song Kingdom will also suffer! ”

"What about the prince? Do you just let things go this way? Then it will be the Seven Kings who will die at that time! ”

Ye Xuemei looked at the silent Gongliang and said, "Actually, Emperor Ming's favorite heir to the throne is not Gongliang Rongruo, nor the Nine Kings, but you!" ”

As soon as her words came out, Gongliang stopped laughing, and he said, "The girl is joking with me, right?" How is this possible? For as long as I can remember, I have been the most unfavored and least loved person by my father. I asked to do my best in everything, and I only hoped to receive a commendation from my father, but my father never gave me a good face. Whenever I did something that upset my father, he would ask me to recite a subset of scriptures and history, and he would punish me for practicing martial arts. My memory has never been as good as my father's smile. ”

Ye Xuemei looked at him and said, "As far as I know, Emperor Ming is considered a Ming monarch among the ranking emperors of the Song Kingdom, and he will definitely not treat you badly because of his likes and dislikes." In fact, have you ever thought that this is just a trick by your father, just to make others mistakenly think that he does not favor you. Letting you recite a subset of scriptures and history and punishing you to practice martial arts is actually cultivating you in disguise! ”

"Is this true?" Gongliang couldn't believe it, Ye Xuemei's statement subverted his cognition for so many years.

"If not, then why did Emperor Ming pass on the Night Camp to you?"

Gongliang replied: "I also wondered at the time, I even thought that my father was old and confused, why would he pass on such an important dark night camp to me!" ”

Ye Xuemei looked at him and smiled, and said: "Actually, he is not old and confused, but he has already secretly observed, you are benevolent, benevolent, and talented, and it is most appropriate to entrust the country to you!" So, my lord, this road was paved for you a long time ago by Emperor Ming! ”

Gongliang Yuzhi looked at the woman in front of him, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he said that she won the world, and it seemed that what the proverb said was not false at all. Otherwise, the secret that my father had been guarding for so many years was cracked by her so quickly.

After the two of them said so many words, Gongliang Yuzhi finally figured it out, since God arranged for him to meet Ye Xuemei and asked her to help him, then, he should no longer avoid it, and should go with the flow.

He finally sighed and said, "Good! I'll do as you say! ”

Hearing his affirmative answer, Ye Xuemei finally breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and she smiled and stopped at Gongliang: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Seven Kings' Mansion with you to meet those people from the Heshe Kingdom and reach a cooperative relationship with them!" ”

Gongliang looked at her and asked puzzledly: "Didn't the girl say that the people of the Heshe Kingdom have intentions for the country of Song?" Why work with them? ”

Ye Xuemei gently hooked the corners of her lips, a trace of fierceness crossed her eyes, and she said: "If they are in need, they will naturally choose to cooperate with us, but as for their desire to seek the country of Song, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so!" ”

Gongliang looked at Ye Xuemei quietly, what she said was so rampant, but it was so natural to say it from her mouth. Seeking skin with a tiger is not something that ordinary people can do, but she can.

He smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow!" Girl, don't go, the less people know about your talents, the better, this is only good for you, no harm! ”

Ye Xuemei's eyes swelled with a hint of emotion, he would always put her safety first at all times.

She still remembers that once upon a time, there were such shouts and greetings, but ......

Although the revenge of the Seven Kings was temporarily suppressed, the news of Li Zheng's death still spread within a day, and Guangjing was nowhere to be found. Everyone's eyes returned to the Phoenix Tower, and the rest of the assassinated princes united to put pressure on Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng didn't dare to make any big moves this time, so he could only let them surround the Phoenix Tower.

Yuan Niang was about to die of worry about this matter, and finally broke the siege, but within a few days, she was trapped again. Also troubled are Yingyi and Gongliang Rongruo.

Yingyi hurriedly came to Xingde Hall after the incident, she knelt on the floor as smooth as jade, Gongliang looked at her and said, "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

Yingyi lowered her head and replied: "The slave has already asked people to check, but for the time being, no useful clues have been found." According to the report of the person sent by the slave maid, Guangjing is indeed missing, but it is absolutely impossible for her to kill the person. Mrs. Li died in her inner chamber. On the night of the accident, the slave saw someone crying for help. The slave and maid rushed over with the people, but after all, they were a step too late and did not see anyone. According to the scene, there should be two groups of people, one group of people is from Hesheguo, and the other group of people is not clear, and it is likely that they are also going to Li Zheng. ”

Gong Liangrong stood with his hands in his hands, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Is there any news of the person you have placed on King Xin's side?" ”

Yingyi replied: "Although that person has been in the Xinwang Mansion for five years, he still doesn't have any particularly useful clues. However, the only thing that can be determined is that King Shin has indeed secretly cultivated a dark force! ”
