Chapter 613: Thunder on the Ground
That's right, Li Mu always felt that he had missed a link, but he couldn't remember which link it was. But when he wrote down the three words Xu Zhilei, he found that all the questions seemed to be connected.
The gathering of the thirteen leaders was originally Xu Zhilei in Zhangluo, so if Xu Zhilei didn't know about it, it would be impossible to say.
As for the whereabouts of the Qinglian Army, Xu Zhilei himself is still half of the principal of Tingfeng Xuan, and he is already well-informed. The opposite of being well-informed is that when he wants to hide something, he can also have that ability to leak a drop of water.
Li Mu also had a deep understanding of this at the beginning. At the beginning, Li Mu and Xu Zhilei had another deal, that is, Li Mu told Xu Zhilei about Shark Pearl. Xu Zhilei helped hide Li Mu's information. Therefore, Li Mu is convinced of Xu Zhilei's ability.
Thinking about it carefully, the Qinglian Army has Chen Xiao's secret edict, and it is also Chen Xiao who sensed that something was wrong, so he specially left behind him. Since there is this secret edict, the county governments along the road will definitely cooperate according to the order. Coupled with listening to Fengxuan's wind media control news, it is possible for the Qinglian Army God to appear outside Yacheng unknowingly.
"There must be the second son of Xu to help, yes, the crown prince was accompanied by him, so everything was prepared by him. Thinking about it like this, Li Mu also gave birth to a trace of enlightenment. Then, in an instant, this glimmer of realization vanished, replaced by a terrifying fear. This kind of fear seems to be like a cold ghost hand choking Li Mu's neck, and it is like a thunder falling from the sky, splitting from Li Mu's Tianfu to the spring.
The reason why Li Mu became like this is a reasonable guess.
"If it is really Xu Zhilei, then Shangguan Yin, who implemented this prince's rescue plan, should also be Xu Zhilei's person. So...... Giving the Son of Heaven Chen Xiao a Gu is what Xu Zhilei instructed!!"
Li Mu sat in his position, as if he was stiff there. If that's the case, then Xu Zhilei is not a new imperial party, nor is he a princeling, he is a real rebel party!
Extrapolating all the previous questions from this conjecture seems to have a plausible explanation.
Chen Xiao is in the Gu, and his life is dying, so that he can attract the battle of heirs in advance. If you wait for Chen Xiao to die, not to mention how much life Chen Xiao has left, even if Chen Xiao doesn't live so long, you can arrange the heir to the throne little by little. At that point, if you want to make waves again, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
Chen Xiao knew that he didn't have much to live, and if he released a little wind at this time, a little bit of fuel could help Chen Xiao to stay. When Chen Xiao was young, he experienced King Yu's rebellion, which almost made him unable to sit on the throne, and when he was old, the king of Dongshan County came to him like that. He would not be unaware of the importance of military power. Once it is revealed that someone is plotting the throne and calculating the crown prince, Chen Xiao, as his father, will definitely leave him a hand in military power. As for whether this hand is the Qinglian Army or not, it doesn't really matter.
The altered edict, as well as the other spare edict, plus the secret edict, directly ruled out the possibility of peace, and pushed this battle for the throne directly to the road of life-and-death struggle.
The secret edict is Chen Xiao's backhand left behind by the influence of others and taking precautions, so the other two edicts are a heartfelt blow to take the initiative to attack.
After Li Mu inquired, he already knew that according to the rules of Da Zhen. The edict of succession was written in duplicate and was collected by the emperor and the government hall respectively. If you want to change the edict, you have to change it twice. So, why is there one that has been changed and one that has not?
Li Mu is now almost certain that the original two edicts must have been written on the crown prince!
Because Chen Xiaoliu's backhand is Prince Bao. If his secret edict says Chen Liao, then the Qinglian Army outside the city should be bowing to him, where can he go against Chen Liao, who has publicly declared his succession.
So, was that edict changed by Chen Li'ao? No, if Chen Liao was able to change both edicts, then why didn't he change both copies together? In this way, isn't his legitimacy completely confirmed and cannot be shaken? Why bother releasing the edict with traces of alteration to fall into the tongue and give the prince a chance to attack?
And Chen Liao also said before Li Mu that he didn't have the idea of replacing Chen Zhihao, but his plan was not the same as the plan that had been realized. It is very likely that these two edicts were not in his plan!
Therefore, it is very likely that these two edicts were a plan instructed by Xu Zhilei! In order to make the situation that could have confirmed a successor between Chen Zhihao and Chen Liao change, and the two of them did not have completely legal and compliant inheritance procedures. In this way, the two must compete with each other to win the dignity of the Ninety-Five and the supreme position for themselves.
In ancient times, there were two peaches to kill three soldiers, and now there are three edicts to chaos and great rebellion! Such a strategy cannot be described as not poisonous!
Everything that follows is logical. To implement this plan, the crown prince could not stay in the palace. Because staying in the palace, the contradiction is still under control. Although it may eventually turn into a confrontation between the two armies, there may be many variables. And the prince stays in the palace, so the back hand left by Chen Xiao cannot play the most perfect role.
Therefore, the crown prince Chen Zhihao must go outside the city to join the Qinglian army, so that the identity of the prince and Chen Xiao's personal edict are equivalent to giving the prince a chance to turn the tables. Chen Zhihao will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and it is impossible for Chen Liao to give up the throne. The two can only fight, fight to the death!
Li Mu straightened out this line and naturally remembered another thing. That was the strange rebellion case of the king of Dongshan County before.
At that time, Li Mu was concerned about Li Lie and Shen Li, and he didn't think too much about it, and he also got a lot of preferential treatment from them. So I haven't thought about it all the time. But now that I think about it, especially when it is linked to the second edict collected by the Political Affairs Hall and has not been changed, Li Mu has an unusual taste.
Outside the dormitory, Li Mu heard Zuo Xiang Ji said with his own ears that he had gone to get the edict from the Political Affairs Hall. So Bai Fan, who didn't believe it originally, finally believed that the edict was to let Chen Liao succeed to the throne.
So what if Ji Kuo is lying? If you say, the edict was changed by the government affairs hall? Not to mention any dust seals, these are all things that can be faked. There is no reason why you can't do it with the ability of the political office.
The political hall originally had two phases, left and right, and the two collected the edict together and supervised each other. With Pang Gong's stubborn nature of serving the country and the people, it is very unlikely that the two will conspire to change the edict.
But now Pang Gong is gone!
Pang Gong revealed that he had cooperated with the Li family to help King Yu escape from Yacheng in the case of King Dongshan's rebellion, and almost let King Yu escape with impunity. After this secret is revealed, it will be good if Pang Gong is not killed. Chen Xiaonian has made meritorious contributions to Pang Gong's change of law, served the country for many years, exempted him from capital crimes, and let Pang Gong return to his hometown. It is equivalent to saying that the case of the king of Dongshan County rebelled and brought down Pang Gong, the right minister of the current dynasty!
"So, did all the plots start at that time? So, the Ten Palaces of Yama who were active in the Dongshan County Wang's rebellion case......" Li Mu suddenly laughed miserably, "It turns out that it is also your person?"
A flash of lightning flashed in Li Mu's heart, and a thunderclap sounded outside the door.
