Jiang Yunqing said slowly:

"Emperor Yuan Cheng secretly corresponded with many courtiers, and at that time he was very trusted by the first emperor, not only allowed him to meddle in the affairs of the six ministries, but also often let him discuss politics."

"Before the old prince set out on the expedition, Emperor Yuan Cheng and King Chen had frequent contacts, and not long after the old prince died in Yangjing Valley, Emperor Yuan Cheng had a dispute with the first emperor, and the first emperor almost made an order to seize the position of prince on Emperor Yuan Cheng."

After Meng Tianshuo heard Jiang Yunqing's words, he hurriedly said:

"I remember it."

"At that time, Emperor Yuan Cheng was quite favored, and he was the most powerful prince in the court, but once he didn't know why he angered the first emperor, and was heavily blamed, and was even demoted to the county king to send him out of Beijing, but he seemed to return to Beijing in less than two years after leaving Beijing, and the first emperor also restored his position as a prince, and not long after that, the first emperor died, and Emperor Yuan Cheng ascended the throne......"

Meng Tianshuo took a deep breath:

"Could it be that he really usurped power back then?"

Jiang Yunqing's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "First of all, no matter how he came to the throne, just according to Jiang Qingping's investigation, all the officials, generals, grain and grass escorts, logistics support and others related to the battle in Yangjing Valley were mostly executed for embezzlement and other crimes after the defeat of Yangjing Valley. ”

"And the rest of the people have also been sent away from the capital for various reasons in the inland for three years, and now there is no one else in the capital except Zhao Qinyi, a soldier who is good friends with King Chen."

If what happened back then was really just the work of King Chen alone, how could he have handled it so cleanly afterwards.

Jiang Yunqing also heard Jun Mo say that he had asked people to investigate this matter a few years ago because he was suspicious, but even he didn't notice anything abnormal, thinking that the father and son of the Jun family really died because of the war and were kept in the dark for so many years.

It is enough to see the thoughtfulness and calculation of the person in the dark.

To put it mildly, with King Chen's brain, he couldn't make such a thorough plan at all.

Meng Shaoning's eyebrows tightened and he spoke: "Yunqing, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Yunqing pondered for a moment before he said in a low voice: "As far as we know so far, there are only two possibilities for what happened back then. ”

"First, it was Emperor Yuancheng who coveted the throne and was ambitious, wanting to replace the first emperor, and knowing that the relationship between the Jun family and the first emperor was very strong, and it was impossible to betray, so he colluded with King Chen, stole the marching map, betrayed the military intelligence in Nanliang, and finally let the old prince and the tens of thousands of soldiers die in Yangjing Valley in vain."

"Two ......"

Jiang Yunqing hesitated for a moment, looked up at Jun Mo and said, "It's the first emperor." ”

Jun Mo raised his head fiercely and looked at Jiang Yunqing.

Meng Shaoning and Meng Tianshuo were also full of consternation.

Meng Tianshuo lost his voice and said, "Do you suspect that it is the first emperor?" ”

"I don't know."

Jiang Yunqing shook his head, and said with some hesitation and uncertainty in his eyes:

"When the old prince went out to fight, the war was urgent, and the marching map was stolen in the palace, it was impossible for the first emperor not to know, and afterwards King Chen's means were too clean when dealing with the tail, even if Emperor Yuancheng helped, how could those courtiers and generals related to the war be able to kill them?"

Without the help of Emperor Xian, Emperor Yuan Cheng and King Chen may not be able to deal with all the things and hide the past to this day.

After Jiang Yunqing finished speaking, seeing that Jun Mo was silent, he said in a low voice:

"But I'm just skeptical."
