"The content of this letter..."Xiao Ciyu frowned slightly, pointing out the point, "On the surface, what really happened to Old Man Shi has already been in two directions from what was stated in the letter.

"But discarding the redundant part in the middle, you can find that after bypassing a big bend, the destinations in both directions strangely coincide."

Old Man Shi and Chen Shoufu wanted to use some means to make the Dong family and the You family pinch each other. And the Dong family brutalized Zhongliang and fabricated the case, but it was also to fight with the You family.

The two parties are doing their own things, but the latter is unconsciously taking the initiative to do what the former wants.

It's just that this wishful way is too brutal and far beyond expectations...

"I see what you mean." Shen Lanxi bowed slightly. But her brow furrowed even more as her thoughts became clearer.

If you follow this line of thought...

"The unjust case back then was not so much because the Dong family had powerful methods, but because the forces of all parties conformed to nature." Xiao Ciyu closed his eyes and sighed, "Because it is beneficial to most people, this matter will naturally become." ”

"Is it good for the majority?" Shen Lanxi clenched his cuffs, "I don't understand, what benefits can Chen Shoufu and them get from this?" ”

Snipe and clam compete, do fishermen profit?

But Chen Shoufu has been an official for decades, and he has never been loyal to the king, neither helping nor standing in line. What benefits can such a person gain from court battles?

"They really have no interest, it is the royal family that is in their favor, and... The people of the world. Xiao Ciyu smiled bitterly. Sogou Library

Speaking of this, he simply sorted out the clues again, strung together all the speculations, and said to Shen Lanxi: "At that time, my father was seriously ill, and Cong Guo also entered a period of imperial succession.

"I was originally the son of the queen, and I was made the crown prince early, and the foundation is very stable. The King of Jinyang and I are completely incomparable, and therefore, it is almost effortless for the Dong family to help me ascend to the throne.

"But it's too easy, and it's not a good thing. No one has consumed the strength of the supporters, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, they will inevitably hold heavy power.

"You know what kind of virtue the Dong family is. If they are allowed to put me in the position without loss, then it will be difficult to say who will have the final say in Cong Guo.

"But at that time, the Dong family was so powerful that not everyone could easily shake it. Even if someone in the DPRK and China thinks it is inappropriate, they can only slander two sentences, and they are powerless to change anything.

"So I think that someone started to make the Dong family and the You family pinch each other, just to take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Dong family and stabilize the imperial power."

After a pause, Xiao Ciyu spoke again: "Let these two pinch each other, from another point of view, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." Although the You family surrounds the King of Jinyang on the surface to protect themselves, secretly, they also covet the throne.

"If the Dong family is allowed to face them head-on, in addition to consuming the strength of the Dong family, it can also wipe out the thoughts that the You family should not have.

"The new emperor succeeded to the throne smoothly and the imperial power was stable, which is actually a good thing for the royal family and the people of the world..."

"So that's the case..."Shen Lanxi lowered his eyes and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "No wonder people like Chen Shoufu would be involved in this matter, no wonder my grandfather would get together with the You family, who were not all the way to him, no wonder..."

It makes sense, many doubts in the past have been answered at this moment.

Countless words of amazement poured into his lips, and in the end, he condensed into one sentence: "I see." ”
