Chapter 689: Someone Close

The Emperor had closed his eyes and began to deduce.

Who doesn't have a few questions on their minds? Indeed, if Cheng Ziyu's assumptions are followed, those doubts seem to be explained.

Or even Southwest!

Li Chun has been able to stay in the capital with peace of mind over the years, and it is the one who cleaned up the southwest before. This time it was clearly a small battle, how could Li Chun still be surrounded?

If the barbarians have the advantage, why bother just waiting to besiege Li Chun? Isn't it more beneficial to directly capture Li Chun alive to make a transaction? So to put it bluntly, it's still for the sake of procrastination.

They should have cooperated with Zhu Changjue a long time ago.

That rebel is too accurate about his own thoughts. Knowing that he has been waiting for the opportunity to lift Li Chun up, he knows that when the opportunity comes, he will definitely send Li Chun out! So he had already made a trap to transfer Li Chun away.

As long as Li Chun is not there, Bai Heng is calculated, and then the Great Zhou forces are scattered and disrupted, then the rebel is already half of the success. When Li Chun came back, the daylilies were cold, and they had to be slaughtered!

Zhu Changjue has no military power, this is a dead end.

If he wanted to recruit troops, he had to leave Beijing. So he was prepared.

What is the level of the fourth? He couldn't play such a big game of chess.

Only Zhu Changjue, only him, can take one step and count ten steps.

He can't beat the world, so he can only count the world!

As long as the fourth child gives him a chance, with his ability, I am afraid that in a few years, he will be able to return to the capital like the previous king of Chaodi.

Emperor, the facts have been believed.

"But this ...... Kind of ridiculous, right? In the end, it is all speculation, and there is no real evidence. Yu Gong said openly: "The emperor just listens, everything has to be discussed in the long run......

"Haven't there been any more ridiculous things lately?" Cheng Ziyu interrupted her father-in-law. "Yes, I have no evidence, and all of this is speculation. That's why we need to be careful with our arguments. Father-in-law Yu, I wonder if you can find obvious loopholes in my speculation? Say it and let's discuss it together. ”

Yu Gonggong sneered, and his forehead was almost sweating again.

"The old slave doesn't dare, the county lord asks for words."

"Okay, I'll talk about it then. In fact, I still have a big question. That is, if my speculation is true, then how can Zhu Chang'an, five hundred miles away, under the protection of General Bai, gather those secrets, such as the emperor's physical condition, such as the response in the palace, and the situation in Jiangnan? ”

How shrewd the emperor is, as soon as Cheng Ziyu opened his mouth like this, his eyes were already bottomless.

"What a wonderful fit. How perfect the time control is. Responding to the front and back, a move is coming, making people unguardable. But to do this, the calculation of time is particularly important. ”

"Do you suspect that there is a mole on my side?"

Cheng Ziyu did not answer.

"If Zhu Changan wants to clear the monarch's side, he must control all the conditions, trends and responses of the emperor, the palace, and even the prince, and he must have such a person who can pass on first-hand important information to him. This is one.

Later, when he took General Bai into the capital, there must be a force that should cooperate with the outside and control the situation in the capital, right? After that, he took the prince to poison and speak, it must be enough, right? If there is only Tian Wanyi, is it too weak?

Based on the above three points, this person who is hiding in the shadows of Zhu Changan must stand tall, know a lot, and hide it so much that it must be difficult to find, and the best thing is that he has to be the emperor's intimate person!

I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I haven't had an answer. Until three quarters of an hour ago. ”

Cheng Ziyu glanced at her father-in-law.

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and today he is obviously disturbed by state affairs and forgets that I am still outside. But Yu's father-in-law obviously didn't forget. But you haven't forgotten, why didn't you remind the emperor, but instead sent someone to take me away? ”

This time, the emperor's eyes when he looked at Gonggong Yu suddenly turned cold.

Yu Hai almost couldn't remember that this was the first time he knelt down today. At this moment, he couldn't even break out in a cold sweat, only feeling that streams of cold air were rising from the soles of his feet.

"The loyalty of the slave to the emperor can be seen by the sun and the moon......"

But the emperor stretched out his hand to stop his explanation, and motioned for Cheng Ziyu to continue.

"I didn't think much of it. However, the father-in-law was courteous and enthusiastic to me, or rather, flattering, nodding his head and taking the initiative to overdo it.

But I'm self-aware! What is my situation at this moment, I am under a number of accusations, I was sent to the cold palace, there is no protection, and even the minions came to bully me yesterday.

At this time, whoever looks at me is a prisoner, and whoever looks at me can't wait to get far away, and there are still people who come to talk to me, why? Can I not be curious? Then I found out that my father-in-law was not flattering me, but wanted me to leave quickly.

Why? I still didn't understand it at the time. So, I deliberately hid my earrings and walked back to the imperial study to test it. Sure enough, the father-in-law panicked and wanted to send me away but didn't dare to make a big move.

I deliberately refused to leave, but they didn't dare to take me away by force, as if they were afraid of anything, and I suspected that there was something in the imperial study that could not be exposed. But the outside is clear at a glance, and on the inside, there are only the emperor and Father-in-law Yu.

Then, I heard the words of my father-in-law. In fact, what Yu Gonggong said is very reasonable, except for a little unreasonable. The starting point of Yu's father-in-law's remarks is different from what I thought! Father-in-law Yu, how do you conclude that the philosopher is more than lucky? ”

"I ......"

"No need to answer! Your Majesty, when you received the news of King Zhe's disappearance, what was your first reaction, did you think that King Zhe had been killed and captured, or did you think that King Zhe had escaped? ”

"I escaped."

"That's right. I thought so too. That's what we think normally. Because we care about King Zhe, we will subconsciously think that he must be auspicious, and he will definitely get out of danger, even if he is ambushed on all sides, he will definitely be able to escape! Is that right? But what about Yu Gonggong? His first instinct was to cry on his knees...... And my first reaction when I heard Yu Gong's public mouth was that I felt that Yu Gonggong and I were really not all the way. ”

Obviously, he and the emperor are not all the way.

But my second reaction was even more astonishing. Father-in-law Yu was actually speaking for King An, explicitly implying that if King An was assisted by General Bai, perhaps King An could also take on a big responsibility. I immediately understood.

Father-in-law Yu is taking the emperor to the crooked road! He knew that the emperor had been hit in a row and his heart was in turmoil, so he was inducing the emperor to imagine another possibility. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and mess up the emperor's ideas. ”

"Looking at the attendants who came around to ask me to leave, I still don't understand anything. Father-in-law Yu knows that I have a good ear, so he doesn't want me to hear any of his inducements. He just didn't expect it, and his eagerness led me to suspicion. At that time, I was roughly sure that Father-in-law Yu might have attached himself to King An.

If it is true, the dark man who is in a high position of power will also surface. The dark man who can get close to the emperor and can inquire about the decisions of the court and the affairs of the palace, if Yu Gonggong does it, no one will doubt it? After all, you are the emperor's most trusted person! ”

The emperor's trembling hands tightly grasped the dragon chair and stared at Yu Hai, wishing that he could see through Yu Hai's heart at a glance.

"In addition, if the person who will guide King An in the future is Gonggong Yu, and if the person who will stand side by side behind King An with General Bai in the future is Gonggong Yu, then is the position of King An stable? Gonggong Yu and General Bai are the emperor's most trusted people, as long as they stand up, King An will be logical! Isn't it? ”

"I suddenly thought of it, or maybe Zhu Changjue's assassination of King Zhe has a real purpose! As soon as King Zhe dies, then the emperor basically has no choice when your physical condition suddenly fails. The other princes are still young, and you can only choose one heir among the kings and princes.

So Father-in-law Yu came out. It's up to him to seduce you. If he succeeds in convincing you, then you only need to summon General Bai with an imperial decree, and you will be able to smoothly transition the imperial power in no time. If the military power is supreme, then they can ascend to a high position without abandoning a single soldier!

This is the reason why Gonggong Yu must make you think that King Zhe has no life there, and urge you openly and secretly. So, that's why I shouted at you and had to take the jade pendant in to buy time.

I'm just afraid that if I don't come again, Father-in-law Yu will create a dream for you to be on the throne, General Bai, Father-in-law Yu and the cabinet to assist. Zhu Changan's strength is not good, but as long as the person who assists him is reliable, you are likely to be tempted, right? ”

"I guess that's probably their number one plan. If you refuse, then the second plan should be to wait for you to fall, Tian Wanyi and others stand up to testify against the prince, and Zhu Changan instigated Bai Heng to support him as the emperor. If there are any more variables between them, your emperor is gone, and I think the only one General Bai can be loyal to is Zhu Changan. After all, whoever sees them as masters and apprentices has a deep love affair, and they are all one. Even if he doesn't help Zhu Changan, no one will believe it, and no one will let him go. So the fact is that as long as you are gone, General Bai is destined to have no choice. By then, General Bai will have an army of 100,000, which is enough! ”

The Emperor let out a long gasp......

"Yu Hai, what do you say?"

Yu Gonggong's tears flowed.

"Your Majesty, you must believe that the old slave is loyal to you."

Cheng Ziyu spoke again: "Mr. Li Chun said that Father-in-law Yu is credible. So I never doubted you. I also believe that you are loyal to the emperor. But whether you secretly defect to King An for the sake of the back road or being coerced, you are actually a betrayal of the emperor.

I just thought of something. Do you remember that competition in the Southern Tour? King An unexpectedly won the third place. His final ranking was even higher than that of King Jue, who had many helpers. Even the tricky three questions in the end, he answered two questions like the philosopher, how strange is it? What's more, he was still carrying a very serious knife wound at that time! How?

At that time, the people who participated in the competition were all prestigious sons, and even King Jue was defeated by King An, is it weird?

And it was also that comparison that King An got the opportunity to train in General Bai's army, which laid all the foundations for him afterward. I remember that the emperor asked him what he wanted, and he did not hesitate to answer General Bai. Apparently prepared. Strange?

In fact, I was suspicious of him at the time. His performance in the competition was so good that it was as if he had been leaked early in the morning. It's weird. The competition that day was clearly a casual swing of the emperor. It was arranged by the emperor. Before the competition began, the princes should not have known about it.

So how did King An know? Later, King Zhe said that on that day, his subordinates saw King An and Gonggong Yu talking for a while outside the emperor's court. At that time, I wondered if it was Father-in-law Yu who leaked something to Zhu Changan. But Li Chun said it couldn't be. It is said that Yu Gonggong is trustworthy.

At that time, I thought that maybe it was the king of Zhe who deliberately provoked it, so I pressed my suspicions. Now, did you two already have a ...... at that time Partnered? Your Majesty, I'm done with what I have to say. All of the above is speculation. But I don't think it's hard to deduce the final result from the distance. There are at least two entry points for Tian Wanyi and Yu Gonggong. ”

The emperor sneered at his father-in-law several times, tried to stand up, but failed to support the person, and ended up in the dragon chair again. How could he not see the weakness of his heart that did not come out of the sea?

"Yu Hai, I have believed in you for decades, you have been with me for decades, and I think I treat you well. At this moment, my deadline is approaching, do you still want to stab me? Can you bear it? You say......"

But Father-in-law Yu just shook his head with tears streaming down his face, and after a few strokes, his forehead was bloodied.

"The old slave did not betray the emperor, the emperor ...... The old slave didn't know about Tian Wanyi's drugging of you. The old slave doesn't know! ”

"What about you and King An?"

"Minions...... The slave values the relationship with the emperor. The slave is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain! If the emperor leaves, the old slave will definitely accompany you without saying a word. No matter where you are, the old slave is willing to accompany you! ”

"Is there something unspeakable about Father-in-law? If you say it, maybe it can be solved? ”

Yu Hai glanced at Cheng Ziyu and buried his head again.

Cheng Ziyu knelt down.

It's so far, who has time to grind?

The way he looks, isn't there something that has been manipulated?

He is not even afraid of death, who knows who he is being held and what it is. But Yu father-in-law is a key link at the moment, and he is hesitant, and he can't explain everything.

"Ask the emperor to kill Yu Hai!" Cheng Ziyu spoke firmly.

The air was choked.

The emperor looked at her, and Yu Hai's sobbing also stopped.

"No matter what trick Yu Gonggong has to be caught, if Yu Gonggong dies at this moment, the other party will definitely know that he has failed. Then, in a certain sense, the other party's first plan cannot be implemented for the time being, and at the same time, it also helps Yu Gonggong to be freed. It's just that I don't know, will the other party think that Yu Gonggong has already made peace with him, and I don't know if those handles will be safe? ”

The air was quieter, and even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Cheng Ziyu held her breath and looked at her father-in-law.

Father-in-law Yu is definitely not afraid of death.

A person who is not afraid of death can only be the person he cares about and the person he wants to protect. If he dies, it is obviously exposed, in order to prevent gangs, how can the other party still keep the handle of him? The value is gone, what are you doing with those handles?

Therefore, as long as he is killed by the emperor, it means that the people he wants to protect will also have only one way to die.

Cheng Ziyu deliberately asked like this, just to pry his mouth open.

"You said it, it can be regarded as making up for the merits, and I believe that the emperor will try his best to protect what you want. But if you don't say it, you're unkind and unjust, and you're sorry for anyone. ”

Sure enough, after five breaths, Yu Gonggong recruited.

Cheng Ziyu relieved herself. Bet right.
