Chapter 222 Layout!

······

The spring festival is a big event, and as a result, Qin Zheng is extremely angry when this kind of thing happens.

Although the sharp arrows shot from the Ding could easily be dodged with his skill, the nature was there.

King Ling, who was in charge of this matter, was scolded by Qin Zhenghao, and Zhou Fuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was directly removed from the position of Shangshu.

Of course, this is also Zhou Fuda took the initiative to take all the charges on him, claiming that it had nothing to do with King Ling, and it was his disadvantage.

He is protecting the Lord.

Therefore, King Ling was only scolded by Qin Zheng and was not severely punished.

However, this incident, what made Qin Zheng feel a little relieved was that Qin Yuanheng did not hesitate to protect him with his life.

Fortunately, Qin Yuanheng was only stabbed in the left shoulder by a sharp arrow, and he didn't have to worry about his life.

As for who dared to do it at the festival, Qin Zheng had already ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate.

······

General's Palace.

Night.

King Ling, who was scolded by Qin Zheng, was extremely unwilling in his heart, and what made him even more unwilling was that he actually lost Zhou Fuda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which made him extremely angry.

In this way, the power of him and the crown prince is in a state of balance again.

And although he was not confined by Qin Zhengguan, or had other punishments, he must have left a bad impression in Qin Zheng's heart, not much better than Qin Yuanzhao, who was imprisoned.

Everything that has been fought so hard has returned to the original point.

The most important thing is that in the appointment of the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Zheng directly issued an order, and he personally selected the people.

If it was in the past, Ling King Qin Yuanzhuo would definitely have to fight, but this time, he didn't dare.

If you dare to say more, I am afraid that Qin Zheng will inevitably be even more angry.

He will not have any good fruit to eat.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to arrange his own people to take the position.

And, according to King Ling's understanding of Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng would definitely let someone he trusted serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It won't be his person, and it won't be the prince's person, it's just that this person, who it is, he hasn't thought of it yet.

······

"Mr. Chen, this king is unwilling, in this way, all the advantages of this king are lost. ”

King Ling was still on fire.

Chen Chao comforted King Ling and said, "King Ling is angry, such a thing happened, it was not my expectation, who would have thought that someone would do something at the spring festival, fortunately, nothing happened to the monarch, otherwise I am afraid that King Ling would not be better."

That's a blessing. ”

King Ling Qin Yuanzhuo said, "Fortunately, King Qin reacted quickly and blocked it for his father, otherwise, this time this king is really guilty." ”

Thinking about the scene at that time, Qin Yuanzhuo was really a little afraid.

After thinking about it, Qin Yuanzhuo said, "Mr. Chen, this time, this king suspects that the person who harmed this king must be the prince's person, otherwise, I really can't think of who it is." Their assassination of their father is false, but the murder of this king is true.

Everyone knows that this spring festival is the responsibility of this king, if something happens, this king will naturally not be able to escape, at least Zhou Fuda can't escape.

Chen Chaodao: "Maybe it's the other party's plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"What does Mr. Chen mean?" King Ling was puzzled.

Chen Chao said coldly, "Maybe the other party really wants to assassinate the monarch, but he is also prepared to fail."

If you succeed, it will be better, and if you lose, King Ling will have difficulties, at least you can bring down a big man under King Ling. ”

"If he really wants to assassinate his father, does he dare?"

He was naturally referring to the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao, and King Ling was a little unconvinced.

Chen Chaodao "The power is moving, the prince is the prince after all, if something really happens to the monarch, even if the prince is confined now, he can still inherit the throne." ”

"Mr. Chen, when you say this, this king is really a little suspicious, so what do you say?"

King Ling was a little anxious.

If Qin Yuanzhao was really the mastermind behind the scenes, King Ling Qin Yuanzhuo thought that he had to bring down the crown prince, otherwise, one day if the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao really succeeded in assassinating Qin Zheng, he would be finished.

Chen Chao said, "King Ling, don't worry, the matter has not yet reached that serious, and the monarch does not say that he can assassinate him."

However, there is no need to rush, but there are some things that need to be done as soon as possible.

Now that Zhou Shangshu has fallen, and we and the prince's forces are balanced again, we can't go on like this, so the top priority at the moment is to find a way to bring down the prince's people. ”

"How easy is it to say?"

As soon as King Ling spoke, he paused, and his eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Chen Chaodao, "Mr. Chen, is there anything you can do?"

Chen Chao smiled indifferently, nodded lightly and said, "I thought that King Ling would do a good job of this festival, and I would give King Ling a big gift, which can be regarded as double happiness, but I didn't expect it, but it was such a situation, but fortunately, something is better than nothing, I hope King Ling will not dislike it." ”

"Mr. Chen's name is incomprehensible. King Ling looked at Chen Chao suspiciously.

Chen Chaodao "I originally wanted to bring down Zhao Chuan, as the second joy, but now I look at it, it is just a joy, and even in the current situation, it can't even be counted as happiness, it can only be regarded as making up for King Ling."

Bring down Zhao Chuan!

These words made King Ling shout, and he felt a little shocked.

"Mr. Chen, this king shouldn't doubt your ability, but how easy is it to bring down Zhao Chuan?"

"It's man-made. ”

Chen Chao looked at King Ling Qin Yuanzhuo seriously and said, "As early as after overthrowing Wu Lou, I was thinking about how to bring down Zhao Chuan and Xu Guanzheng, so I have been secretly collecting evidence, plus some information given by King Ling, the hard work has paid off, and I have really made some discoveries recently, so only with proper planning, it is not difficult to bring down Zhao Chuan." ”

"Mr. Chen, come on. ”

King Ling was a little excited.

Chen Chao told Zhao Chuan what he had done.

Ling Wang said, "As Mr. Chen said, even so, how to obtain evidence, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the chance for us to send people over is too small." And if my father had gone in person, they would have noticed it, and how could they find the evidence?"

Chen Chaodao said, "This is also a question that I have been thinking about before, but when King Ling came, he told me that King Qin was injured to protect the monarch, no matter how much the monarch dislikes King Qin, but this merit will not be without King Qin, so it must be rewarded." ”

"What does this have to do with King Qin?" King Ling looked surprised.

Chen Chaodao "If I remember correctly, Concubine Qin's hometown is in Jizhou, and the way to Jizhou has to pass through Yingzhou, if you can let the monarch allow Concubine Qin to return to her hometown to visit relatives, and then be accompanied by King Qin, I will arrange for someone to sue King Qin about the overcollection of taxes and silver by the household department during the journey, and King Ling thinks King Qin will take care of it?"

With Yuan Heng's temper, he will not only manage, but also manage to the end. ”

King Ling seemed to think of something, and he said, "But if that's the case, wouldn't the final credit be robbed by King Qin?"

Chen Chaodao "Indeed, in this way, it will indeed make King Qin make meritorious contributions, but thinking about it from another angle, it can allow the prince to put his energy on King Qin, King Qin is no longer good at scheming, there is no one in the court, but after all, he is the king of the county, and he is the chief general of Huizhou, and the prince will take some energy to deal with him, and then King Ling will be able to reap the profits, why not."

Moreover, this time the credit must not only be given to the king of Qin, but also the king of Ling will also fight for the king of Qin, so that after the prince loses Zhao Chuan, the greater the credit of the king of Qin, the greater the prince's hostility towards the king of Qin. ”

"This king understood what Mr. Chen meant, and wanted the two of them to fight. It's just that Mr. Chen has said so much, there is a question that has never been met, concubines are not allowed to leave the palace at will, not to mention, Concubine Qin is only a concubine, and it is even more impossible.

Even if it was possible, why did Concubine Qin suddenly return to her hometown to visit her relatives?"

Qin Yuanzhuo seemed to be the key to grasping the problem.

Chen Chaodao, "So, it's going to be hard for King Ling to talk to Ling Guifei, let Ling Guifei think of a way, and let her persuade Concubine Qin to return to her hometown to visit relatives."

As for how to get out of the palace, this is easy to do.

As long as Concubine Qin has the intention of leaving the palace, and King Qin is a filial son, he is now having the merit of saving the driver, if he and the monarch ask for this reward, then King Ling will help him, I believe the monarch will agree. ”

"This king understands, Mr. Chen is really smart, and this king admires. ”

King Ling was overjoyed.

Chen Chao seemed to sigh: "I really hope that Zhao Chuan's henchmen over there in Yingzhou will be able to fight with King Qin at that time." ”

Hearing Chen Chao's sigh like this, King Ling couldn't help but smile proudly.

Yes, when things make trouble for Zhao Chuan, the more miserable Zhao Chuan will be, and the more Zhao Chuan's henchmen who are in danger of Zhao Chuan, thus greatly weakening the power of the prince.

"If this matter goes well, Zhao Chuan will inevitably fall, but why should he be greedy for so much silver, it is something that the grass people can't understand, King Ling has always paid attention to the movements of the prince and his subordinates, but what news is there?"

Chen Chao asked with a slight frown.

King Ling said, "This king has indeed been investigating the affairs of the prince and his subordinates, but unfortunately, the investigation is limited, Mr. Chen does not ask, I forgot one thing, according to the military department Shangshu Ren Tai said, some time ago, the military department had five captains back to their hometown to visit relatives, and suddenly died of illness.

And these people had all been in contact with the prince before returning to their hometowns.

However, Ren Tai has only found these, and other news has not been found. ”

Chen Chao was slightly stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

He said, "King Ling, it's not too early, you should go back to the house to rest, and you should do what the grass people said, otherwise you will have a lot of dreams at night."

As for what King Ling said just now, the grass people will pay attention.

The five lieutenants returned to their hometowns to visit relatives but died of illness, which is extremely abnormal, and there is some big conspiracy behind it. ”

Hearing Chen Chao say this, King Ling took his leave.

After Chen Chao was sure that King Ling was gone, he took Erhu and Lin Ziying and quietly went to King Qin's mansion.
