Chapter 482: A dilemma
As the pattern of the capital becomes more and more tense day by day, whether it is those who support the emperor or those who support the five princes, the situation they will face will become more and more serious.
However, Xing Tianze, as the core pillar of the camp, his safety is of course the most important thing, in addition to this, his every move and even his words and deeds are crucial.
Tao Mingxi is undoubtedly the place where the scales on his body are, and he can completely affect all of Xing Tianze's thoughts.
But the fifth prince values Tao Mingxi, it doesn't mean that everyone who supports him values the five princesses, and there will definitely be casualties in the battle.
In order to help Xing Tianze to the highest position, everyone can be sacrificed, even if there is no trace when necessary, they will be thrown out as an outcast.
From a private point of view, Xing Tianze has no problem valuing Tao Mingxi, because she is the princess of the fifth prince.
But if you look at the overall pattern, if Tao Mingxi is in a position that is too sensitive, then she will have a bad impact on everyone.
If the whole world is lost because of a woman, or because of a Tao Mingxi, and Xing Tianze makes a mistake at the most critical time, everyone will feel extremely unwilling.
Therefore, it is definitely not a good choice to continue to keep Tao Mingxi by Xing Tianze's side, but Wuji knows that this is impossible.
Sighing silently, the thumb of the traceless right hand flicked, and a black chess piece flipped several times in the air before landing firmly on the chessboard.
Originally, the blacks on the chessboard were about to fall into a dead end, and it was because of the fall of this chess piece that the situation on the entire chessboard came to life, which is the most critical place.
Just like the current pattern, although the emperor is in a weak position, he only needs to let him grasp one point to revitalize the whole pattern.
Among them, the key traceless can be clearly seen, Xing Tianze naturally knows that Tao Mingxi's is indeed the most lethal and easy point.
The emperor's idea of getting rid of him now has become extremely strong, but it also makes Xing Tianze and Wuji have a special headache, because they can't protect Tao Mingxi all the time.
There is still a mistake in the end, no matter how powerful Xing Tianze and Wuji are, they are just mortals in the final analysis.
As the old saying goes, man will conquer the sky, but it is also as the old saying goes.
Xing Tianze lowered his eyes and looked at the chess game in front of him, the white son in his hand was being rubbed by him repeatedly, and it was almost impossible to win with one blow.
Now the pattern in the capital is also like this, although he has an advantage, but it is not completely absolute, although the token of the Xue family has been used, but it will take a certain amount of time to get a substantial effect.
In the end, Xing Tianze and Wuji sighed deeply, full of helplessness.
Tao Mingxi is a living person, she has her own consciousness and judgment, Xing Tianze used her to sneak out of the palace and frowned, let alone restrain her now.
Unless Xing Tianze can make up his mind and tie Xing Tianze's hands and feet with ropes, this is obviously an impossible thing.
At this moment, a man in black skipped over the windowsill, landed firmly in the study, and respectfully handed a bamboo slip into the hands of the fifth prince.
With just a slight glance, Xing Tianze's mood became slightly better, and he turned around and handed it to Wuji, who only glanced at the contents slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Because what was recorded in it was the question of the examination papers of the imperial examination that Situ Lei was particularly worried about before.
Using the intelligence network in the hands of the Xue family, coupled with the information held by the Black Iron Alliance, and the information sent by Yang Lin, this foggy matter finally came to light.
Contrary to Xing Tianze and Wuji's expectations, it was really a topic leaked by one of the officials of the Shangshu Academy, and it was actually a person that Lord Zheng attached great importance to.
This person can also be said to be Xing Tianze's own person, and he really proved the saying that it is difficult to guard against thieves day and night.
Xing Tianze shook his head with a smile, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes without a trace, Yin Tianhu can be said to be the first to betray the Five Princes, but it will definitely be the last.
The reason why the fifth prince did not move the Yin family was because the old man Yin was kind to him, and Yin Tianhu helped Xing Tianze when he was in the most difficult situation, and he had a brotherhood with Yin Pingzhen.
In addition, the Yin family has a lot of power in their hands, so they can survive unharmed to this point.
But if this point is regarded as a betrayer in the eyes of others, then it is definitely a big mistake, it may be that Xing Tianze has not used ruthless hands for too long, so that some people in the capital think that the fifth prince is a soft-hearted person.
Therefore, Xing Tianze didn't mind lighting up the butcher's knife again, so that those people in the capital could take a good look at what kind of person his fifth prince was.
Without a trace slapped several times hard, and immediately five or six men in black quickly rolled in through several windows.
When night just fell, an official of Shangshuyuan was kidnapped from his mansion and quickly sent to the palace of the five kings.
In the secret room, Xing Tianze and Wuji sat side by side on a chair, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed people standing around them, each of whom exuded an extremely strong evil aura, which proved that they were not very charitable people.
Looking at the person in the sack with lowered eyes, Xing Tianze waved his hand slightly, and immediately someone stepped forward to untie it, and poured a basin of cold water on it.
A middle-aged man in his forties immediately woke up from his coma and hurriedly shouted that kidnapping the imperial court officials was the crime of exterminating the three clans.
I have to say that he entered Shangshu Academy at the age of forty, which is definitely a rare existence in the Xingzhao Kingdom, but this Lord Huang seems to have forgotten a little.
If it weren't for his father laying a solid foundation for him, and the Huang family still had the help of the five princes over the years, how could Huang Ming enter the Shangshu Academy?
When Huang Ming saw the five princes, it was as if he had suddenly fallen into the ice cave on dog days, and he couldn't help but immediately stop yelling, and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Xing Tianze in a proper manner.
Needless to say, everyone can know this situation, and Huang Ming's heart was already full of fear at this time.
In fact, on the day he made the decision, Huang Ming's heart was already ready to face today's situation, but when he really faced Xing Tianze at this time, all the preparations in his heart seemed to turn into smoke.
is the shadow of the so-called famous tree, Xing Tianze's prestige is very clear to him, how many families originally existed in the capital? How many high-powered officials were there in the imperial court?
But they all became a springboard for Xing Tianze to stand up step by step.
