Dai Chen looked at Luo Jin who was kneeling on the ground in front of him with disdain, but he had to admire this guy's ability to steer the rudder in the wind, this person had brought his servility to the point of reaching the peak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The remaining piece of paper was still placed on the stone table, and although Dai Chen had a guess in his heart, he couldn't be sure. He pondered and asked, "Lord Wang, where did this piece of paper come from?"

"In the brazier of the imperial study. Ye Zhong smiled slightly.

Dai Chen's eyes lit up, and as the head of the Inspectorate, he immediately realized that this simple sentence contained two important doubts:

First of all, there has always been a uniform procedure for the disposal of the discarded articles of the palace, which are jointly sent to the fire and burned under the supervision of the guards, the inner chamberlain, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in order to avoid leaking the secrets of the court. And this unburned piece of paper was thrown directly into the brazier of the imperial study, which was obviously not in accordance with the process. Probably the other party didn't expect that the cover of Tiao Chen was too heavy, resulting in the handwriting in it not burning out, and finally fell into the hands of the prince.

Secondly, the text on this seal has been identified by Luo Jin, and someone deliberately imitated the emperor's handwriting. This person can enter and exit the imperial study, although only a few numbers are written, but the glyphs are realistic, which means that the other party is in a state of calm and unhurried writing, and there are only a handful of such people.

From this, it can be inferred that someone imitated the emperor's handwriting in the imperial study, wrote a few words, and then discarded them in the brazier. But who was this man? Why did he imitate the emperor's handwriting, and why did he throw it into the brazier afterwards?

"Lord Luo Jin," Dai Chen's voice sounded again, "You just said that this person's handwriting is feminine?"

Luo Jin nodded, and his eyes lit up: "Lord Dai Chen, do you mean that the person who imitates His Majesty's handwriting is not a man? Could it be a chamberlain or a woman in the palace? But I don't remember anyone in the palace who can do this, could it be a newcomer later." Lord Wang, Lord Dai Chen, have any newcomers entered the palace recently?"

Dai Chen smiled coldly, but he didn't answer, and only said to Ye Chong: "Lord Wang, since I said this, I just happened to have something to report, and the matter you asked me to investigate before has an eyebrow." There is indeed something unusual about the emperor these days. ”

Ye Chong's sword eyebrows raised slightly: "What's the difference?"

"According to the eyeliner report in the palace, the emperor has frequent contact with the sixth generation of Cameron in the palace, which has never been done before. You must know that when the fifth generation of Camerendo was alive, the emperor barely set foot in the Li Palace in the past ten years;

In addition, in order to guard against Guo Zizhong, the emperor nominally ordered Guo Wu to serve as the commander of the guard of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but in fact, he was close to himself and never left an inch on weekdays. But recently, Guo Wu has been repeatedly released from the palace, and the emperor doesn't seem to care about Guo Wu's hostage role at all.

The last point is also quite suspicious, the emperor has favored a strange and beautiful girl these days, and named her a concubine. At present, few people have made the origin of this woman clear, and some people say that Admiral Bolu secretly sent him to the palace from the northern frontier, but our manpower in the northern frontier cannot confirm this. ”

Ye Zhong listened quietly and fell into deep thought, his fingers kept knocking on the stone table, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Do you think that if I have a conflict with the emperor now, who will be the biggest beneficiary, and who will be the biggest victim?"

Luo Jin saw that Dai Chen had not answered, so he said cautiously: "Lord Wang, I think this should be divided into two situations. ”

Ye nodded and smiled to encourage Luo Jin to continue.

Luo Jin perked up and continued: "The first situation is naturally that if the prince wins, then the biggest beneficiary is the prince, and the biggest victim is the emperor. I believe this is also the most likely scenario. As for the second case-" Luo Jin groaned slightly.

Ye Zhong knew the other party's thoughts when he looked at Luo Jin's expression, and said directly: "The speaker is not guilty, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Luo Jin gritted his teeth, as if he had made great determination, and said: "In the second case, the stalemate between the prince and the emperor has formed a stalemate. In this case, both the number of beneficiaries and victims is large, and under the anxiety of the war, both the prince and the emperor will inevitably need to introduce stronger forces to lay the victory, in addition to the other three major military regions of the Central Army, the queen's faction, and even the god-given republic and orcs are the biggest beneficiaries. As for the biggest victim, the villain thinks that it should be you, the prince, the emperor, and Guo Zizhong, you are the biggest victim. ”

"Guo Zizhong?" Dai Chen said strangely.

"That's right, I've just joined the ...... When he was in prison, he heard that Guo Zizhong was transferred to the governor-general of the Central Army. At that time, I was quite strange that the Guo family, who had been in charge of the affairs of northern Xinjiang for generations, was transferred to the Central Military Region. Moreover, Admiral Beru was in control of the Central Army, and it was obviously more beneficial for the emperor to be in the imperial capital. Guo Zizhong is in northern Xinjiang, echoing the imperial capital from afar, no matter who it is...... We must take into account the elite soldiers and fierce generals in northern Xinjiang. ”

"Lord Luo Jin, if you say this, it will be too long for others to be ambitious, and you will destroy your own prestige. Guo Zizhong is a man, not a god, and the fiasco of the wolf riding camp is an example. Nor can he win forever. Dai Chen was a little impetuous, the more he looked at Luo Jin, the more unpleasant he became, but the prince seemed to rely on this sycophant, and he couldn't help it for a while.

Ye Zhong smiled faintly, ignoring Dai Chen's words, but said to Luo Jin: "Lord Luo Jin, you should know very well that although the emperor believes in Guo Zizhong's ability, he does not believe in his loyalty very much. Moreover, the emperor knew that time was running out, and his strategy of vacating the cage and changing the bird could protect Prince Ye Yuan. When he said this, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. If Ye Yuan is the king of the future, then it is self-evident that those who hold the Son of Heaven hostage are self-explanatory! Could this be the truth? Ye Zhong suddenly felt that the fog gradually dispersed, and everything seemed to be cheerful.

If the speculation is true, then whether it is Guo Zizhong or himself, they have been used, and the reason why they have never suspected it is only because that person is their teacher, and the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident is Admiral Bolu at all. However, Ye Chong was still a little at a loss, after all, no matter who ascended the throne, the status of the teacher was unshakable!

Maybe it's time to talk to that old rascal again, although he has already torn his face, Ye Zhong still doesn't want this former best friend to die in the conspiracy. Whether it is from personal feelings or in order to stabilize northern Xinjiang, Guo Zizhong is extremely important to him. Ye Chong thought that the two of them had no room to turn around, but now there was a glimmer of light, his eyes fell on the remaining piece of paper again, and an extremely tempting thought kept hovering in his mind, if the current emperor was a fake emperor, could he convince Guo Zizhong to help him?

Ye Chongjian's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and said to Luo Jin: "Lord Luo Jin, since you are willing to be loyal to me, do you have anything you want to know?"

Luo Jin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I take the liberty of asking the prince, if we launch it at this moment, do we have a ten percent chance of winning?"

Ye Zhong stopped Dai Chen, who was about to get angry again, looked into Luo Jin's eyes and said slowly: "There is never anything in the world that is 100% sure. Of course, if it is only for the sake of the throne, I am at least ninety percent sure, but if it is for the sake of the stability and order of the whole empire, I am still seventy percent sure. But even if it's only 70% sure, I believe it's enough. ”

"Then why doesn't the prince do it yet?"

Ye Zhong stood up, walked to the edge of the pool and looked at the chasing fish, and said lightly: "Because there is one thing that makes me like a man, if I don't figure out this matter, I am afraid that no matter how much I do, I will make wedding clothes for others." ”

Dai Chen was slightly surprised, could anyone dare to take advantage of the prince?

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Since the prince is willing to tell us this, he must already have an answer." ”

Ye Zhong glanced at Luo Jin appreciatively, this person was observant of words and expressions, and his mind was really unmatched. He said directly: "Dai Chen, from now on, increase the intensity of the conflict with the Central Army, even if some people die, you must let the other party feel that a big war is imminent." Luo Jin, you and I are going to meet our Emperor Majesty. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Dai Chen ordered.

Luo Jin's face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered, this man who had always been gentle and elegant, just now gave him a lot of pressure, and he did not allow any refusal in his words. Perhaps, this is the true style of kings. (To be continued.) )
