Chapter 409: Mover
Although he has been closed for illness in the past few days and has not been to the early court once, Xing Tianze is very clear about the outside world.
The four ministers who died were all core officials who supported the emperor, and on the surface, Xing Tianze undoubtedly had the greatest opportunity to make a move.
But Xing Tianze didn't send any killers to kill these people, and it was obvious that this was clearly a frame-up drama.
Heavenly Hell has been seriously injured and has stayed away from the capital, so except for Xing Tianze, there is only Xing Tianze who can do this.
If you think about it carefully, you can know that there is actually one other force that can do it, and that is the Yin family, which has heavy troops.
If all the officials who supported the emperor died, or the most important people died, Yin Tianhu would undoubtedly be able to get better reuse if he chose to support the emperor again.
Xing Tianze suddenly let out a sneer, he didn't expect Yin Tianhu to be so ruthless, and to do such a ruthless thing in order to climb up.
Wuxian walked to the desk and picked up a few scrolls, these are all records of the four dead officials, one was ingested with strong poison, causing the seven orifices to bleed and festered to death, and the other was burned to charcoal in the study, and the other two were simply taken off by people.
In addition to the fact that the four of them held important positions, they also had one thing in common, each of them was dead or unrecognizable.
Therefore, without a trace to conclude that these assassinations are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface, since someone wants to frame the blame for Xing Tianze, it is not impossible to play a trick to hide from the world.
It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and they couldn't find enough evidence for a while.
"I didn't expect the Yin family to betray you?" Tao Mingxi put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at the back of the prince.
The latter only let out a few more sneers, the most worthless thing in these years is loyalty, and not all of them have not thought of betrayal, but the benefits they have received are not great enough.
This is also something that Xing Tianze and Wuxian can't figure out, the Yin family is already a big family second to none, and they still hold military power, and the marquis and worship the general are just like that, so what else can attract them to do such things?
And Old Man Yin hasn't even opposed him yet?
Tao Mingxi sighed slightly, in fact, she had a good impression of Yin Pingzhen, but Xing Tianze said that he had been locked up by Yin Tianhu.
All this looks like Yin Tianhu is bent on going his own way, but after thinking about it carefully, he only came to a conclusion without a trace, Yin Pingzhen's mother Qiu Li.
"It just so happens that you are all in the study, I found something these days that might be useful to you." Suddenly, Murong Yu, who had disappeared for three days, finally appeared.
Since he came to the Five Princes' Mansion, Xing Tianze has completely adhered to the concept of not using suspicious people and employing people, and specially allowed Murong Yu to enter and leave any part of the palace at will.
"Lord Wang, this is the result of spending two days searching and one day of compilation." Murong Yu took out a piece of cloth from his arms and spread it out on the table.
After Xing Tianze and the three of them saw its contents, they all frowned, because this was actually a detailed connection with the four ministers who had died.
Murong Yu pointed to the line on it, and slowly said an old story.
These four old ministers have been officials for nearly forty years in the court, older than Xing Tianze, and thirty years ago, the four of them plus Yin Tianhu jointly exterminated a kingdom rich in gold and jade.
But in the end, the amount of gold paid was pitiful, and some say that a large amount of gold and jade were tied up before the kingdom was conquered.
About twenty years ago, Yin Tianhu suddenly turned against the other four people, and he didn't know why, but it took Murong Yu two days to learn from a veteran.
There was a treasure map in the annihilated kingdom back then, which was divided into five parts by Yin Tianhu and others and preserved each other.
Xing Tianze frowned tightly, Murong Yu's map was drawn in great detail, the official positions of Yin Tianhu and the other five people, as well as their potential connections over the years, were all on the map.
Although on the surface, there is no falling out between the five people because of certain things, but they are inextricably linked in their official positions.
"You mean the Yin family wants to put together this treasure map?" An inexplicable look flashed in Xing Tianze's eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"In deeper terms, none of the four ministers died." Murong Yu's tone was extremely flat, and a monstrous wave was set off in the hearts of the other three people.
Without a trace gave Murong Yu a knowing look, he also thought of this, but he hid it in his heart and didn't show it, after all, it was not a matter of conclusive evidence, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Murong Yu said that in the middle of the night a few days ago, when he couldn't sleep and went out of the house to take a walk on the streets of the capital, he accidentally discovered that ten carriages were secretly out of the city, and then four ministers were assassinated one after another.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Yin family, Yin Pingzhen sat alone in the study, he had been locked up by his father for nearly ten days, and he didn't know anything about what was going on in the outside world.
Suddenly, Yin Pingzhen walked up to a wooden frame, and a cold sword lay quietly in the scabbard, this is the saber that has followed him for many years, and has killed many fierce enemies for him.
This time he really couldn't figure out why his father did this, Yin Pingzhen reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled out the sword body less than two inches, but the cold light that bloomed illuminated his eyes......
In the imperial garden in the palace, Schrödinger and Yin Tianhu sat in the pavilion, and the emperor stood with his back to the two of them.
"Marshal Yin is really a wise move to abandon the dark and turn to the light." Schrödinger glanced at Yin Tianhu deeply.
"Lord Xue's words are really tormenting the old man." Yin Tianhu hurriedly waved his hand and didn't explain too much.
From the bottom of his heart, he also doesn't want to take refuge in the emperor, but he has something important to do, if he stays by Xing Tianze's side all the time, sooner or later he will be seen.
The conversation between the two was all listened to by the emperor, but he did not express any opinions, and it was not even good to reuse Yin Tianhu, who suddenly defected.
The emperor is also a smart person, he must have thought about what is taken into account in this, and in the current situation, he can't give the Yin family too many things.
If Xing Tianze really raised troops, the Yin family would undoubtedly be able to take advantage of this shareholder wind to reach a higher level.
But why did Yin Tianhu give up the dominant five princes to work for him? Is it really the meaning of loyalty to the monarch and the country? Then why did he follow Xing Tianze in the first place?
If he really thinks so, the emperor is really deceiving himself.
Therefore, Yin Tianhu's defection has made the situation much better on the surface, but he has made the danger even more intense.
The Emperor understood very well why the four ministers who supported him were killed, because as long as there was no one around him, Yin Tianhu had to be used.
