The emperor ordered the acting king and King Jing to investigate the murder of the deposed prince's family. This will is a bit delicate, after all, King Dai and King Jing are both suspected of being behind the murder of the deposed prince's family.

King Dai and King Jing are suspicious of each other, they believe that the other party killed the family of the abolished prince, and will definitely try their best to frame each other.

Although the emperor did not order the king of Chu to assist in investigating the matter, the king of Chu has been secretly investigating, and he found out that the real culprit who poisoned and killed the family of the abolished prince was a Southern Wei person.

King Chu's face was as gloomy as water, and his tone was full of anger: "Sure enough, it's him!" "When everyone suspected that it was the acting king or the king of Jing who killed the abolished prince's family, only the king of Chu suspected that the king of Wei did it. In the eyes of everyone, King Wei followed the side of the abolished prince and has always been loyal to the abolished prince. When the abolished prince was deposed, everyone abandoned him, and only King Wei has been trying to find a way to help the abolished prince make a comeback. He also tried to help the abolished prince avenge himself, but unfortunately the abolished prince himself was not angry and was placed under house arrest in the royal palace.

Because of this incident, many ministers in the court had a good impression of King Wei and felt that he valued love and righteousness. In addition, in recent years, King Wei's ability to do things has been excellent, and he has been more and more reused by the emperor, and King Wei's status in the court has risen, and many ministers have supported him.

Among the four kings, King Wei seems to be the least powerful, but he is not. Of course, only the King of Chu knows the true strength of the King of Wei, and only the King of Chu understands that the King of Wei has no brotherly affection for the abolished prince, only to take advantage of it.

The king of Chu had long guessed that the king of Wei would poison the deposed prince. One is to frame the death of the abolished prince to others, such as King Dai or King Jing. The second is to completely obtain the residual strength of the abolished prince. Only when the deposed prince died, his former loyal subordinates would willingly switch to the king of Wei.

Now the results of the investigation show that the king of Chu is right.

Yang Ling knew who the "he" in King Chu's mouth was referring to, "He was expected by His Highness." At the beginning, the King of Chu suspected that the King of Wei had killed the abolished prince's family, but Yang Ling felt that it was unlikely. Yang Ling didn't think that King Wei was loyal to the abolished prince like everyone else, but he felt that King Wei would not be ruthless to the abolished prince at this time. He guessed that King Wei would kill the deposed prince at the right time, and then accurately blame the death of the deposed prince on the head of the acting king or King Jing, so that the acting king or the king of Jing could never turn over.

"It's just that this time is not right, with the means of King Wei, he will not kill the abolished prince at this time." Yang Ling felt that the truth behind the murder of the abolished prince was by no means simple. "It doesn't do any good for King Wei to die now."

The King of Chu said coldly: "Behind him is the Southern Wei people, who else is besides him." ”

"Your Highness, I don't think it's King Wei, King Wei won't be so stupid." Yang Ling felt that there was something strange behind this matter.

The king of Chu said: "In this world, besides him, who else can instruct the Southern Wei people." ”

Yang Ling said meaningfully: "Your Highness, the Southern Wei people can also command the Southern Wei people." ”

When the King of Chu heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his expressionless face.

"Sir, do you mean that the Southern Wei people killed the eldest brother's family on their own initiative, and the King of Wei didn't know about it?"

Yang Ling bowed slightly: "Very likely." ”

King Chu felt that Yang Ling's guess was a bit outrageous, but it was not impossible to think about it carefully.

"Why did the Southern Wei people kill the eldest brother's family on their own initiative?"

Yang Ling guessed: "Maybe the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty are in a hurry. ”

"In a hurry?" The King of Chu pondered for a while and said, "You mean that the people of the Southern Wei can't wait to put the King of Wei on the throne?" ”

"That's right." Yang Ling said again, "The Southern Wei people want to use the death of the abolished prince to overthrow the king or the king of Jing, or to bring down the king of the dynasty and the king of Jing together, and then the opponent of the king of Wei is only your highness, and when that time comes, your highness will be in danger." ”

The King of Chu had long known that the King of Wei would be his biggest opponent, and he was also aware of the methods of the King of Chu and the Southern Wei people behind him, so he had been vigilant and vigilant.

"He really doesn't know?"

"At first, King Wei definitely didn't know about it, but now King Wei should know that it was his people who took the initiative to kill the abolished prince." After Yang Ling finished speaking, seeing that the King of Chu was still worried, he chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you should be happy." ”

The king of Chu asked, "What are you happy about?" ”

"The Southern Wei people hid from the King of Wei and secretly killed the abolished prince, which shows that the King of Wei did not completely control the Southern Wei people." Yang Ling said with a deep expression, "It also shows that the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty have internal strife, isn't this a thing worthy of His Highness's pleasure?" ”

King Chu nodded his head, and then said, "This is not enough. ”

"It's not enough, but it's a good start." Yang Ling said with a smile, "Your Highness, there are disagreements within the Southern Wei people, which gives us an opportunity. ”

"Sir, when the King of Wei learned that the Southern Wei people were doing it behind his back, what do you think he would do?" The person who knows the character of King Wei best in this world is the King of Chu, "With his means, he will never let go of those who make decisions without permission, and he will never allow such a thing to happen again." ”

"Your Highness, even if King Wei punishes these people with strong means, the differences will not disappear, but will only become bigger and bigger because of this matter." Old God Yang Ling said with a smile on the ground.

"What do you want to do, sir?"

"Your Highness, I think we can arrange for people to come into contact with the Southern Wei people."

King Chu said: "The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty are highly vigilant, and we have arranged for people to contact them before, but they have all failed. ”

"Your Highness, there is a possibility that it will succeed this time."

King Chu understood what Yang Ling meant, nodded and said, "Then arrange it again." The king of Chu said this, but he didn't have much hope in his heart. Mr. Yang did not know much about the methods of the King of Wei, and the King of Wei would completely eradicate those who had different opinions.

"Your Highness, does His Royal Highness the King of Han have a letter?" A few days ago, Yang Ling specially asked the King of Chu to write a letter to Zhao Yao, in which he told the King of Han about the murder of the prince's family.

"Not yet."

As soon as the King of Chu finished speaking, he saw Wei Mian walk in with a letter, saying that it was a letter from His Royal Highness the King of Han.

Yang Ling smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence." ”

King Chu took the letter, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Yang Ling saw that after reading the letter, a smile appeared on his face, and he had the answer in his heart.

King Chu handed the letter in his hand to Yang Ling, "Sir, please take a look." ”

Yang Ling took the letter and looked at it seriously. In the letter, His Royal Highness the King of Han was very shocked and very saddened by the death of the deposed prince's family. Then after he let the King of Chu know who killed the abolished prince's family, he must tell him immediately. As for avenging the abolished prince's family, or wanting to help investigate the truth about the murder of the abolished prince's family, His Royal Highness the King of Han did not mention a word.

Seeing Yang Ling's surprised expression, King Chu asked with a smile, "Sir, how is it?" ”

His Royal Highness King Han's reaction was beyond Yang Ling's expectations, "It's me who lost." "Even if His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't want to help avenge the abolished prince, He Lianfang will not be indifferent. With He Lianfang's temperament, he will definitely persuade His Royal Highness the King of Han to contribute to the investigation of the murder of the abolished prince's family. As long as His Royal Highness the King of Han participated in the murder of the abolished prince, it shows that he has the intention of seizing the heir.

King Chu said with a smile on his face: "Now Mr. believes that the tenth brother has no intention of taking the heir." ”

Looking at King Chu's proud and proud appearance, Yang Ling smiled and said, "I believe it." "His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't have the heart to win the heir, so he is naturally the best." Your Highness, I'm not worried about His Royal Highness the King of Han now, but I am worried about He Lianfang next to His Royal Highness the King of Han, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He must have a purpose in following His Royal Highness the King of Han. "Now it is certain that His Royal Highness the King of Han does not have the intention of seizing the heir, but it is impossible for He Lianfang not to have the intention of rebellion. The most important thing is the emperor's intention to arrange He Lianfang to follow His Royal Highness the King of Han.

"Even if my father doesn't like the tenth brother anymore, he will not deliberately force the tenth brother to rebel, and then kill the tenth brother in the name of rebellion." Tiger poison does not eat children, he believes that his father will not be ruthless enough to kill his tenth brother.

Yang Ling asked, "Your Highness, what do you think is the emperor's intention in arranging He Lianfang to follow His Royal Highness the King of Han?" ”

The King of Chu pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the tenth brother didn't have the heart to take the heir, so my father arranged He Lianfang by his side, so that He Lianfang stopped rebelling. ”

Regarding King Chu's answer, Yang Ling said with a little crying and laughing: "Your Highness, do you think His Royal Highness the King of Han has the ability to make He Lianfang rest his rebellion?" ”

"Others may not be able to, but the tenth brother can." King Chu thought of Zhao Yao's lazy and troublesome appearance on weekdays, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "The dream of the tenth brother is to eat all over the world, maybe He Lianfang is influenced by the tenth brother, so he doesn't want to rebel." ”

Yang Ling felt that the King of Chu was talking about the Arabian Nights. A person like He Lianfang would be influenced by His Royal Highness the King of Han not to take revenge and rebel?

"Your Highness, are you joking?"

King Chu also felt that what he said just now was too naïve, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "Sir, then what do you think Father and Emperor mean?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, there is only one possibility left, the emperor values His Royal Highness the King of Han, so he specially arranged for He Lianfang to follow His Royal Highness the King of Han." Yang Ling's expression became serious, "His Royal Highness the King of Han has no intention of taking the heir, but this does not contradict whether the emperor values him or not. If it weren't for this possibility, I really couldn't figure out why the emperor would arrange such a dangerous person as He Lianfang by the side of His Royal Highness the King of Han. ”

Yang Ling's speculation was not unreasonable, but the King of Chu really didn't see that the emperor attached importance to Zhao Yao.

"Your Highness, I guess His Royal Highness the King of Han doesn't know the emperor's intentions and intentions." If His Royal Highness the King of Han knew that the emperor valued him, he could not be indifferent. Judging from the news coming back from the swamp mansion, His Royal Highness King Han has been busy making things or doing business, and has not done anything else. He deliberately sent someone to follow up and investigate the second uncle of His Royal Highness King Han, and found that he only cared about making money in business, and did not secretly contact the ministers.

His Royal Highness the King of Han got close to the young sons of the four generals, and he thought that His Royal Highness the King of Han would secretly curry favor with the four generals, but he didn't. All along, His Royal Highness the King of Han has kept a distance from the four major generals.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu didn't seem to be bad to His Royal Highness the King of Han, but His Royal Highness the King of Han didn't deliberately get very close to them. Previously, His Royal Highness the King of Han gave a lot of glass to the King of Chu and the King of Wei, but he did not give it to any of the ministers in the court.

Judging from these aspects, His Royal Highness the King of Han really doesn't seem to have the heart to win the heir.

If His Royal Highness the King of Han knew the emperor's intentions, it would be impossible not to do nothing.

"Sir, you said that your father values the tenth brother, but he doesn't let the tenth brother know his intentions, don't you think your words are a bit contradictory?" Since the father attaches great importance to the tenth brother, why doesn't he let the tenth brother know? Only when the tenth brother knows his intentions, he will participate in the succession according to his expectations. "Wouldn't it be better for the tenth brother to know his father's intentions?"

Yang Ling frowned slightly and said, "This is also what I can't figure out." He sighed, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's mind is unpredictable." ”

"The father arranged for He Lianfang to follow the tenth brother, perhaps to protect the tenth brother." The king of Chu felt that Yang Ling's guess that the emperor valued Zhao Yao was wrong.

Yang Ling shook his head and said, "He Lianfang hates the emperor to death, how can he protect His Royal Highness the King of Han?" ”

The king of Chu was silent.

"Your Highness, no matter what the emperor's intentions are, you have to remind His Royal Highness the King of Han to pay attention to He Lianfang." If His Royal Highness the King of Chu reminded His Royal Highness the King of Han about He Lianfang, His Royal Highness's reaction would be intriguing.

The King of Chu pondered for a while and said, "It's better not to tell the tenth brother." "No matter what the intention of my father's arrangement is, it's better not to let the tenth brother know. If the tenth brother knew, it might be dangerous. "Sir, you said that He Lianfang is scheming and unpredictable, if you let the tenth brother know his true identity, what do you think He Lianfang will do to the tenth brother?"

Yang Ling guessed: "With He Lianfang's temperament, he will threaten His Royal Highness the King of Han hostage." If His Royal Highness the King of Han does not listen to him, he is afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Han will be more auspicious. ”

King of Chu: "I will arrange someone to monitor He Lianfang and protect the tenth brother." ”

"Your Highness, you forgot that you sent someone to protect His Royal Highness the King of Han before, and it didn't take long for you to come back." Yang Ling said, "He Lianfang will never allow you and King Wei's people to be by His Royal Highness King Han's side. If Your Highness, you send someone to approach He Lianfang or His Royal Highness the King of Han, then you will be startled. ”

"Sir is right." He Lianfang can't let him know that he already knows his identity, otherwise he will startle the snake, and then the tenth brother will be in danger. "You can't let the tenth brother know He Lianfang's identity, and you can't secretly send someone to protect the tenth brother, this ...... I don't feel at ease. ”

"Your Highness, for now, you can only go with the flow." Yang Ling knew that the King of Chu was most concerned about His Royal Highness the King of Han, and comforted him, "He Lianfang has no ill intentions towards His Royal Highness the King of Han for the time being. If He Lianfang is unfavorable to His Royal Highness the King of Han in the future, I don't think the emperor will sit idly by. ”

The king of Chu did not believe that the emperor would protect Zhao Yao at that time, after all, there was a lesson from the past.

"Your Highness, now that you know that it was the Southern Wei people who killed the abolished prince's family, what are you going to do next?"

"What do you think, sir?"

"It's better to let the acting king or King Jing know that it was King Wei who did it."

The king of Chu immediately rejected this proposal, "The king of Wei can't move for the time being, and the Southern Wei people behind him can't move either." ”

"Your Highness, you really don't have to deal with King Wei until the end, do you?"

"The biggest reason why I don't move King Wei now is the Southern Wei people behind him. On the premise that we can't wipe out all the Southern Wei people, it is best not to let the King of Wei and the Southern Wei people know that we have noticed their existence. "The Southern Wei people are hiding too deeply, and their abilities are very big, if they are alarmed now, the consequences may be very serious.

"Your Highness is thinking about it." At present, they know about the existence of the Southern Wei people, and they also know that the Southern Wei people support the King of Wei, but they do not know how many Southern Wei people there are. Also, they don't know how deep the power of the Southern Wei people really is.

"Let the acting king and the king Jing check." The King of Chu said meaningfully, "Tomorrow we will know what they have found." ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "There will be a good show tomorrow." (End of chapter)
