The news of martial law in the palace has spread in the capital, and now the people in the capital are panicking, although they dare not speak publicly, but they all privately speculate about what happened in the palace last night.

As soon as Qin Nan got the news, she hurried to the General's Mansion, she originally thought that Su Shi probably knew some inside stories, but now it seems that he also knows nothing.

"Your Majesty really doesn't have to worry about your life?" Qin Nan's voice was very low, so low that only Su Shi could hear it.

"At least not yet."

These empty words naturally couldn't dispel Qin Nan's concerns: "Will anyone want to fish in troubled waters like you?" ”

"No, it won't." Su Shi shook his head slightly, but his tone was very affirmative.

"Why?"

"Because the risks and benefits are disproportionate, no one with a little bit of brains would take such a huge risk to do such a thing."

"On the bright side, the most promising ones to obtain the supreme position are King Qi and King Zhao, but now their strength is equal, and neither of them can eat each other in one bite, so before Your Majesty has not clarified who will inherit the unification, their best choice is to stand still."

"Because once they make a move, it is inevitable that they will give someone a power and lose the opportunity in the struggle for the throne. Since the Tongxin Society has already spread Bae Hyun's prophecy about His Majesty, whether they believe it or not, they will definitely wait until after July 17 to make plans. Unless ......"

Qin Nan knew what he meant, and immediately said: "Unless Your Majesty has already decided on someone to inherit the unification, the other party will fight to the death." ”

Su Shi nodded, and then sighed: "Not to mention the other princes, they don't have the capital to compete with King Qi and King Zhao at all, and now they are probably thinking about how to stay away from this vortex that will eat people." ”

Qin Nan suddenly frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look directly at Su Shi: "On the bright side, King Qi and King Zhao are the most likely to win the throne?" Could it be that His Majesty has any other choice than them? ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty has any other options." Su Shi smiled bitterly, "But at least I don't want them to ascend to the supreme position." ”

Speaking of this, Su Shi sighed again: "Although I am here to protect myself, but in the past ten years, the King of Qi and the King of Zhao have not shown much ability in governing the country, and it may not be a good thing for Daqian to fall into their hands." ”

Qin Nan's eyes showed deep concern: "But apart from King Qi and King Zhao, Your Majesty seems to have no one to choose from. The fourth prince died early, and the fifth prince and below did not have any strength to compete for the throne. If something happens to Your Majesty, no matter how hard they fight, the throne will fall into their hands. ”

However, Su Shi seemed very calm, not as worried as Qin Nan imagined.

Qin Nan looked at him strangely: "You're not worried?" ”

"The world is impermanent." Su Shi seemed to smile, "It's like no one would have thought that His Majesty would ascend the throne as emperor." ”

Qin Nan said silently: "If what Pei Xun said is true, His Majesty's accession to the throne as emperor is the destiny of heaven." ”

"Although it is said that Your Majesty is the emperor is the mandate of heaven, it is not because of Pei Hyun's layout and calculations for many years."

Qin Nan seemed a little hesitant at this time: "Do you really think Pei Hyun participated in the Three Kings of the year?" ”

Su Shi didn't expect Qin Nan to ask such a question, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this time, Qin Nan's muttering sounded in his ears again: "If Pei Xun really knows the thousand-year-old history, and knows that history cannot be changed, he only needs to be a bystander, why should he participate in it?" ”

Hearing Qin Nan's words to himself, a hint of inspiration flashed in Su Shi's mind, but he couldn't grasp the essentials.

After being silent for a long time, that bit of inspiration never appeared again, Su Shi said dejectedly: "I also came to this conclusion by working backwards from the death of the prince. Since the death of the crown prince has nothing to do with Pei Hyun's escape, the three kings will not sit idly by and watch. ”

"After all, in the history books, a dynasty is only a few pages, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of its full picture, and only when you are in it can you know its treacherous waves. Therefore, although Bae Hyun knows history, he has to enter the game as a person, wanting to control the direction of history. ”

"It's just that Bae Hyun is dead, and this has become an unsolved case."

"Do you think Master Confucius will know?"

Su Shi shook his head: "I'm afraid he may not know." ”

"Why?"

"Through the meeting with Du Ziru, it was confirmed that my guess was correct, and there were many things that Pei Hyun did not tell Master Kong." Su Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Master Kong is just the façade that Pei Hyun used to decorate the Tongxin Society, and someone else is secretly presiding over the overall situation. ”

Qin Nan didn't ask any further, because if Su Shi had already found out the person who was secretly in charge of the overall situation, he would naturally have told her a long time ago.

However, she still cared about one thing: "Why are you so sure that Bae Hyun has colluded with foreigners?" ”

"Actually, there are two things I have always been unable to figure out."

"What's the matter?"

"Pei Hyun left the capital after divining the hexagram for the prince, and when he entered the capital again, ten years have passed in the middle, what has he been doing in the past ten years? In Pei Xun's eyes, there are sixteen people who can influence the general trend of the Qian, except for four people who have not yet made a move, he has already killed twelve people, one of them is the prince, so who are the other eleven people? ”

Qin Nan's eyes lit up: "Could it be that you have figured it out now?" ”

"When it was confirmed that Pei Hyun had collusion with foreign clans, I figured out these two things."

"Twenty years ago, Qi Yuanlu dominated the grassland before the weak crown, you can guess, where was Pei Hyun twenty years ago?"

Qin Nan was shocked: "Could it be that at that time, he left Daqian and went to the grassland to assist Qi Yuanlu to unify the north?" ”

"Since Pei Xun is familiar with history, of course he knows that the northern grasslands will be unified by Qi Yuanlu, so why don't he push the boat with the water. With his ability, coupled with the providence of heaven, Qi Yuanlu's road to dominate the grassland is absolutely smooth. In this way, I believe that Qi Yuanlu trusts him a lot, and he will also obey him, and Hu Ting in the north can naturally be used by him. ”

"After helping Qi Yuanlu to unify the grassland, I believe that the countries of the Western Regions are also in Pei Xun's plan, and with his wisdom, he will naturally be regarded as a guest of honor by the countries of the Western Regions."

"Among the eleven people who were murdered by him, in addition to the people of the Qianchao, I am afraid that there are also the leaders of the Hu tribe and the important ministers of the Western Regions."

Speaking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "The fall of a dynasty must be due to internal and external troubles. Unexpectedly, Pei Hyun not only murdered the prince to create internal troubles, but also conspired with foreigners to create external troubles. It seems that the immortal Daqian Pei Hyun vows not to give up. ”

But then he couldn't help but scratch his hair again, for he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his speculation.

It's just that just like the hint of inspiration just now, Su Shi didn't seem to be able to figure out what he guessed was wrong.
