Chapter 45: The Great Conspiracy
"Does my king know that Ji Jing has long been opposed?"
"Huh?!" Ji Yan stood up suddenly, drove Xia Xun blankly, and sat back after a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info He wouldn't feel strange if anyone had any objections, but this Wang Boji Jing, who had always been kind to him, really didn't think he would have such wolf ambitions. "Go on!"
Xia Xun nodded and said: "In fact, before the first king ascended the throne, there were many calls for Ji Jing to ascend the throne, but because he was a concubine, although he was older, he failed to inherit the throne in the end. After the first king ascended the throne, he made a deferential appearance on the surface, but behind the scenes, he united Yang Han and Wang Xu to form a secret alliance. β
Ji Yan looked at Xia Xun coldly, and said in a deep voice: "What are they going to do?" Why didn't he take advantage of the king's young age to take the throne? β
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "For so many years, Wechen has never really entered their circle, and the three of them will never call Wechen when they get together. It can be guessed that they have the intention of rebellion, but it is only analyzed from some clues. When the first king died eight years ago, they obtained a lot of weapons from the Winter Official Mansion through Weichen, and later Weichen also found that they were quietly hoarding soldiers and horses, and at that time they thought that the rebellion was about to begin. Later, the tiger talisman fell into the hands of Yang Han, and they mastered the six armies of the Son of Heaven. β
After a pause, Xia Xun continued: "Weichen has also been thinking, since they have been prepared, why don't they take advantage of the young age of the Son of Heaven to do something? So he secretly inquired about some of their cronies, although everyone only knew a little, but all together, Wei Chen roughly estimated their plan. β
"Their first step was to find a way to make the first king collapse early, and it really did."
Ji Yan was shocked again, and asked eagerly, "The collapse of the first king has something to do with them?" β
Xia Xun nodded and said: "My king, please think about it, the first king ascended the throne in the prime of life, and his body was very strong, why did he collapse due to illness after only six years of reign?" β
Ji Yan nodded silently, and recalled the image of his father Zhou Shenliang from his memory, which was a tall and sturdy man in the prime of life, but because of a serious illness, he collapsed at the age of thirty-three, leaving the twelve-year-old young Ji Yan to succeed him as the Son of Heaven. Such a person in the prime of life, who is pampered and well-fed, does not have to worry about food and clothing, why did he collapse early when he was just a young man?
"How did they do it?" Ji Yan asked suspiciously.
"This Weichen doesn't dare to say anything."
Ji Yan groaned: "If you want to do this quietly, you have to think of nothing more than means such as medicine." The first step was done, so what was their next second step? β
It seems that the Son of Heaven has believed it, Xia Xun is secretly excited, knowing that it is right for him to stay and tell him about this secret matter, so that he can be regarded as a criminal atonement and can become his confidant. Hearing the Son of Heaven's question, he replied: "According to Weichen's many observations and speculations, their next second step is to make my king have no heirs. β
"Me?" Ji Yan was even more surprised: "They are actually fighting the idea of this king?" β
Xia Xun nodded: "I should have made up my mind a long time ago." Think, my king, why has the queen not been pregnant after all these years? β
Ji Yan gasped: "It's really true! I've never thought about it before, after all, I'm young! Who would have thought that someone would have been calculated behind the scenes? He thought for a moment and said suspiciously: "Is there any way to make a person infertile?" Is it still medication? When I was a child, I used to play at Ji Jing's house, eating and sleeping, could it be that I was drugged at that time? β
"Quite possibly." Xia Xun nodded, feeling that the Son of Heaven's analysis was very reasonable.
"Okay, they have done the way to make this king unable to have children, what is the next third step?"
Xia Xun said slowly: "The third step has not seen the clue yet, according to Gu Weichen's estimate, it should be inexplicable to make my king ......" When he said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked at Ji Yan in horror.
"Let Gu also collapse as early as the first king!" Ji Yan said, his face was already pale, and he took a deep breath before continuing: "It's either illness, or an accident, or even an assassination, anyway, it is to let this king die early." Since this king has no heirs, once he dies, there will be no legitimate heir, and at that time, only one person can be nominated by Ji Jing to be the son of heaven. At this point, all their plans were completed, and they obtained the position of the Son of Heaven without a single soldier. β
Xia Xun nodded fiercely, indicating that he thought so too.
"Good plan, good plan!" Ji Yan gasped, only to feel a chill in his vest: "In this way, he Ji Jing has rightfully obtained the position of the Son of Heaven, and everyone will take it for granted, and they will not accuse him of usurping the throne." What a perfect plan, such an atmospheric handwriting, unbelievable, unbelievable! β
"It is said that they have even chosen a successor." Xia Xun said.
"Oh? Who? β
"It should be Ji Ying. Ji Jing has been focusing on cultivating him, and he is indeed competitive, among all the royal children who are qualified to inherit the throne, whether it is the ability of the director or the personal quality, they are all outstanding. β
"Ji Ying?" Ji Yan suddenly realized the expression on Wang Xu's face when he saw the bamboo plaque yesterday: "No wonder! No wonder Wang Xu was so frightened, in order to save this person, he agreed to the conditions proposed by this king without hesitation. It's a pity, it's a pity! If he had known that there was such a joint earlier, Lao Tzu should have knocked him hard. He stopped and shook his head, with a sad face: "What a pity! β
Xia Xun, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and said in his heart, this young man is really wonderful, if he doesn't go, he is afraid of being calculated, and he is not allowed to think about how to deal with other people's conspiracies, but he regrets that he is not ruthless enough to kill the king, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? After a long time, he came back to his senses and continued: "Today's court discussion, if Yang Han is really asked to hand over the tiger talisman, they will lose control of the six armies of the Son of Heaven, and they will definitely not give up, and maybe a coup d'Γ©tat will be launched soon." That's why Weichen seconded Wang Xu and didn't let my king get the tiger talisman. β
"Good!" Ji Yan looked at Xia Xun appreciatively: "Although you have been following Wang Xu, you can think about this king at critical moments, and you are worthy of my loyal ministers of the Zhou family." β
Xia Xun arched his hand and said: "How dare I be a king!" As long as my king doesn't care about the fact that Wechen has followed Wang Xu and helped them provide them with a lot of weapons, it will be the greatest gift to Wechen! β
"By the way, this king still has something to understand." Ji Yan frowned and said, "Since Xia Qing knows their plan, why are they willing to give you to this king?" Aren't you worried about leaking secrets? You know, this is a great crime of rebellion to destroy the Nine Clans! β
"No, they don't know that Wechen already knows about their plans." Xia Xun shook his head and said: "All this, they have never told Weichen, even if they ask for weapons, they always make up some seemingly reasonable excuses, so, in their opinion, Weichen doesn't know anything." All these things that Wei Chen told my king were speculated through various clues, and then they were confirmed in chatting with some subordinates in their house. Although Wei Chen already knew it, he knew that the matter was important and had never talked to the second person. β
Ji Yan could see that he was not lying, and said with a smile: "It's a shame to have Xia Qing, otherwise this king will still be kept in the dark, and when he suddenly dies that day, he will become a fool." From this point of view, they gave Xia Qing to this king, what a bad move! β
Xia Xun said coldly: "These old things, all of them are mean and unkind, when they are useful, when I am a baby, when they are useless, abandon me like a shoe." Ever since he learned of their plot, Wechen had been thinking about leaving them, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse. Well, now that we can follow the Son of Heaven with dignity, it is the greatest blessing for Wechen! As he spoke, he became more and more excited, and his eyes were already red.
Ji Yan said proudly: "In the future, our monarchs and ministers will work together, and we will definitely be able to do a few earth-shattering things!" β
"Wechen must do his best!" Xia Xun nodded fiercely: "What should Weichen do next?" Please also show me the king. β
"You don't have to care about anything, just don't know anything, and concentrating on your job is the greatest help to this king. The construction of houses by Luoshui, as well as the increase of iron production, must be supervised and made as soon as possible. As for Ji Jing, these ambitious old guys," Ji Yan's eyes shot a fierce light, and he sneered slightly and revealed a mouthful of white teeth: "Since this king already knows their plan, it will definitely make them disappear and die without a place to bury!" β
The grim look on the face of the young man made Xia Xun tremble, and he responded tremblingly: "No! β
After Xia Xun left, Ji Yan sat alone in the empty hall, didn't get up for a long time, kept thinking about the conversation just now, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, if it wasn't for the coincidence that he asked the Winter Official Mansion to come over, if it wasn't for Xia Xun who was keen enough to inquire about these things, the conspiracy of the three giants would be unaware, and the probability of success was quite high, and he, a substitute who traveled from another time and space, would become a confused substitute for the dead.
Although he knows these things, he doesn't have the strength to take down these three old guys for the time being, and it seems that he will have to endure it for a while. Well, let's just let you bounce for a while! When the forbidden army is trained, it will be the day you bow down, the happier you jump, the more miserable you will die!
Not being able to have children is a big problem, what kind of method do they use? Is there a cure? Is it because I was too lucky to be reborn into this world, and God wants me to be the last one?
Also, since the dough has been torn today, they will definitely find a way to let themselves die as soon as possible, what method will they use? Is there an inside line they have already planted around him?
Ji Yan slowly stood up, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly walked out of the main hall, and stepped onto the royal car that had been waiting at the door.
