"Does the prince feel that something is wrong?" The staff pondered for a moment, thought carefully about the ins and outs of the whole matter, and felt that it was King Xin's mastermind, but Xiao Changyan's caution convinced him, so he asked.

The sword eyebrows were slightly twisted, the pupils were slightly deep, Xiao Changyan was a little puzzled and said, "What is the purpose of the fifth brother's doing?" Confuses me. ”

If all this was done by Xiao Changqing, then from leaking the rainy days predicted by Taishi Jian to all the things that followed, what was his purpose?

Just to let him fall into chaos, unable to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, and fall into the responsibility of a dereliction of duty?

This is too far-fetched, you must know that from spreading rumors, you have to install a lot of people here, so time-consuming and laborious, just to make a little stumbling block for him? And he asked himself that he was not incompetent, and Xiao Changqing should not regard him as an incompetent, he should understand that these small means can be easily resolved.

Knowing that he can resolve it, it also takes so much manpower to achieve it, unless Xiao Changqing is a fool!

Obviously, Xiao Changqing is not stupid, so the day he leaked the rain of the Taishi Prison is very likely to be for other purposes, not against him.

Xiao Changyan's words made the staff also stunned, they didn't pay attention to these details before, but now after thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Xiao Changyan said was very reasonable, and he was puzzled in his heart: "The words that can leak the prediction of the Taishi Eunuch are indeed the people who believe in the king." ”

There is no doubt about this, they have been secretly investigating for a long time, and they have been extremely cautious in verifying it.

"Linqing Town handed over the news, and the people who followed the couple looking for relatives were all killed, and the murder method was unique to King Xin's secret guard." The staff added.

This kind of weapon, they have repeatedly explored in Annan in those years, and so far they have not found out what it was made of, but they have made a lot of similar things, but they have also tested it on enemy soldiers and death row prisoners, and the traces after killing are always different from them.

It was because they had explored it that they had a deep memory of the wound, and the corpse had been transported to them, and they were sure that this was the work of King Shin's secret guard.

"If the couple are the members of the fifth brother, why did they deliberately show up to attract the attention of our people? And why did he not hide it, and used a secret weapon? Xiao Changyan asked rhetorically.

The staff has their own set of ideas: "Lord, the prince is weak, and it won't take more than two years to ...... This big treasure prince and the king of faith have the power to compete, the king of faith may have done it on purpose, that is, he wants to lead the prince to the shadow guard with the secret guard, and have a good time! ”

It sounded reasonable, but Xiao Changyan categorically vetoed: "No, the fifth brother does have such courage and style. However, the timing was not right. ”

His second brother is not an unintentional person, and the third brother looks peaceful, but he has a restless third sister-in-law.

"The prince is talking about King Zhao and the acting king?" The staff said in a contemptuous tone, "These two people are not to be afraid, King Xin and the prince only need to fight each other, and the situation will be decided." King Xin chose to take advantage of the natural disaster in Dengzhou this time, and his subordinates privately thought it was a godsend. ”

After thinking for a moment, the staff met Xiao Changyan's gaze and continued: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but the crown prince has little time, and no one knows how long it will take for the throne to take over from His Majesty. When His Majesty is getting weaker, there will be another dragon and tiger fight, which will not only cause greater losses, but also hinder his reputation. ”

If you don't compete here at this time, if you die, you will also die of a "natural disaster", and you will not bear the stigma of being a sibling for the sake of the throne.

Now that Xiao Changyan is broken, there is no opponent in the court, and when the crown prince is born, he will go to the East Palace early just to prepare for the future, even if His Majesty has a long life, it is also above 10,000 people under one person, why bother to be a prince with an unjustified name and wait for a distant day?

The words of the staff are not unreasonable, but Xiao Changyan always has some scruples: "My uncle died in the northwest, and the crown princess of the East Palace already holds the palace power, and she is openly competing with His Majesty, and it is menacing, so you must not take it lightly." ”

Xiao Changmin and Xiao Changyao, in fact, he didn't pay attention to it, Xiao Changqing was the same, the staff was not wrong about this, but to Shen Xihe, the seventh sister-in-law who didn't know much, Xiao Changyan specially visited him in the East Palace.

She sat beside Xiao Huayong in a dignified and elegant manner, never snatched a word, on the surface, she looked like an ordinary house girl, she put her husband first, but she just sat there quietly, but he didn't see the posture of attachment at all.

If it is said that she is Si Chen, controlling the East Palace, and oppressing the prince, it doesn't feel like it, but if you want to say that she can't be in charge of the East Palace, Xiao Xiao Changyan also doesn't believe it, so the prince and his wife give him a very complicated feeling, and he has never seen it in other people.

On the other hand, Shen Xihe's identity, no matter who sits on the throne last, it is impossible to allow the Shen family to prosper in the northwest, this time the Shen family made a big mistake with the Turks, but deliberately did not destroy the Turks, that is, they were worried about the birds and the good bow was hidden.

But the Turks no longer have any threat to the Shen family, and it is only to the Shen family, if the Shen family is withdrawn and replaced by others, even if he goes in person, he may not be able to suppress the Turks who seem to be at the end of the crossbow and are still breathing, and maybe they can also let the Turks who are overwhelmed by the Shen family see hope, fight hard, and turn the situation around.

This is the reason why His Majesty does not dare to easily accept the Shen family's military power until now.

If the crown princess wants to keep the northwest, there is only one way, to control the government and guide the country.

He thought that this was also the reason why the crown princess chose to marry the sick and weak prince.

It is precisely because Shen Xihe is so strong and acts in such an orderly manner that even His Majesty does not pay attention to it, and the position she is in cannot allow her to give in half, so she chose to marry Xiao Huayong without hesitation, and Xiao Huayong's life is not long, which makes Xiao Changyan and even Emperor Youning even more convinced.

If it weren't for Xiao Huayong's short life, how could Shen Xihe dare to marry?

Xiao Changgeng once said to Xiao Changyan that Xiao Huayong was extremely infatuated with Shen Xihe, Xiao Changyan scoffed at this, as a son, especially a son-in-law with a lot of pride, he knows better where his ambition is!

How can the love of children be worth thousands of miles of mountains and rivers?

Even if he is devoted to a woman again, he can't tolerate the huge power of the person next to him who can leave him with nothing at any time, which is tantamount to sleeping on the side of the couch, playing with fire and immolating himself at any time.

Since Shen Xihe is extremely strategic, and has even torn his face with His Majesty, it is inevitable to win the supreme position, she can't easily make a bet, and naively thinks that she can restrain Xiao Huayong by relying on the love of men and women.

From this point of view, Xiao Huayong is by no means a long-lived person.

"I can see the ambition of the crown princess, and so can the fifth brother, but he turned a blind eye to the crown princess, and instead chose to compete with me at this time, which is really contrary to common sense."
