Chapter 423: The Theory of Condemning the Heart
"Thanks to the Queen Mother's inquiry, in the heart of the villain, there is indeed a plan to catch the cold ice. It's just—"
Zheng Yong replied with a sneer, and peeked at the look on the queen mother's face.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was indeed listening to his words, his mind secretly turned a few times before he continued: "It's just that there is still a difficulty in this, and you must get the Queen Mother's permission." ”
Empress Dowager Yin glanced at Zheng Yong, and then said noncommittally "um", "You can talk about it first!"
"Yes. ”
Although his mouth responded, Zheng Yong's small eyes couldn't help but slap a few times, and finally made up his mind, and said bluntly to the Queen Mother: "The villain implores the Queen Mother, the entire plan to capture Han Bing is in your hands, and you can't let anyone else know, including the emperor and the people around you." ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her thin eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, but she groaned and didn't speak.
Now that he has opened his mouth, Zheng Yong no longer hesitated, but further expressed his meaning more clearly: "Also, the matter of the villain meeting the Queen Mother today, please keep it confidential on your behalf, and don't mention it to anyone around you for the time being." ”
This time, the Empress Dowager Yin finally opened her mouth and asked, "You have repeatedly mentioned the people around this palace, but you have some doubts in your heart, do you think there is anything wrong with anyone?"
"It's-"
Zheng Yong pretended to hesitate for a pause, and then asked rhetorically with ulterior motives, "Queen Mother, have you ever thought about why Shen Yunpeng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was late for a whole hour in the decisive battle of the overpass yesterday?"
Empress Dowager Yin's brows immediately furrowed, and she asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"
In the decisive battle of the overpass, although many forces were involved, the two people who were really involved were the two people who stood on the overpass yesterday - Han Bing and Shen Yunpeng.
It stands to reason that in such a life-and-death battle, of course, the two of them have to fight for a life-and-death opponent and enemy, and there should never be any other connection, or even collusion.
But what is puzzling is why a competition that seems to be without suspense not only has such a peculiar ending in the end, but also causes so many unexpected and serious consequences?
Among them, cold ice is naturally the key to the problem. But another person, Shen Yunpeng, also played a very important role. Because his tardiness was an indispensable part of Han Bing's entire plan to kidnap prisoners.
If the decisive battle of the flyover could start at the pre-agreed hour, and Shen Yunpeng had been fighting Han Bing for an hour, the two still couldn't tell the winner.
Then with the shrewdness of Gongyu's sassy face, he will naturally realize that the situation is not right immediately. It is likely that he will immediately cancel the execution of the Loyalty League's secret agents, thus ruining Ice's plan to kidnap the prisoners.
Therefore, before figuring out the real reason for Shen Yunpeng's tardiness, he was indeed a very suspicious object. It can even be said that compared to the Chief Division's Lord Gong Yu Sayan, this Praetorian Guard Commander Shen Yunpeng is more like Han Bing's accomplice!"
After listening to Zheng Yong's reasonable analysis and judgment, the Empress Dowager Yin shook her head very decisively and said, "This palace believes that Shen Yunpeng will never conspire with that cold ice in order to save his own life!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother so simply denied her judgment, Zheng Yong not only did not feel panicked, but secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He had already heard about it, and knew that the Empress Dowager had great trust in the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who had always obeyed her.
Therefore, it was impossible for him, the old eunuch, to make her doubt Shen Yunpeng's loyalty just a few words of condemnation.
But this is just right, when the Queen Mother finally finds out that his words of the old eunuch are all right, she has indeed mistrusted the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the burning anger will definitely burn all her sanity, and she will inevitably punish Shen Yunpeng more severely!
And the fewer people this Empress Dowager trusts, the more she will rely on him Zheng Yong.
Through the hands of the Empress Dowager, who controls the military and political power of Darong, get rid of Han Bing, and then get rid of Leng Yiqing, as well as all those who have been against him Zheng Yong, it is just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yong's small eyes couldn't help but flash a subtle look of pride.
Then he settled down, and in accordance with his sinister intentions, continued to speak in a very convincing tone, some speculations that were not entirely convincing.
"In fact, the villain has long heard that this Commander Shen is resolute and reckless, and he has always been loyal to the Queen Mother. It is naturally impossible for a person like him to conspire with Han Bing and deceive the Queen Mother just to save his own life.
However, the villain has already made it clear that Shen Yunpeng is not a person, but represents a force. I believe that the Queen Mother also knows very well that behind the commander of the Praetorian Guard, there is also an extremely shrewd and powerful sister Shen Qingluo. ”
"Qingluo—"
Empress Dowager Yin slowly read the name, but shook her head again and said, "Shen Yunpeng was late for the decisive battle, it is indeed possible that Qingluo did it on purpose. But her move should not be because of collusion with Han Bing, but just to prevent her brother from going to death. ”
But it turned out that Han Bing did not kill Shen Yunpeng in the end. Maybe among them, it's Shen Qingluo—"
"No! it can't be Qingluo!"
Empress Dowager Yin immediately interrupted Zheng Yong's words, and said coldly, "This matter is definitely not as you think, and I will not mention it again in the future!"
Zheng Yong was suddenly frightened, and he really couldn't understand where he annoyed the empress dowager's ancestor.
It stands to reason that a shrewd person must be suspicious. What's more, she is still the Empress Dowager Darong, who is high in the temple and is accustomed to seeing people's hearts repeatedly and the world is impermanent?
Even because of the lack of trust in him, the newcomer old eunuch, he will not completely fail to listen to his so-called reprimanding arguments.
As for this kind of heart-punishing theory, when he was waiting for the Dayu Emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi of the previous dynasty, Zheng Yong was deeply aware of it, and he was already familiar with it.
Who knew that today, in front of the Empress Dowager Darong, she was repeatedly frustrated and could not be used.
At this moment, the previous pride has long been swept away.
Zheng Yong, who was panicked, hurriedly lowered his head again, not daring to say anything more.
Seeing his sincere and frightened appearance, the displeasure in the Empress Dowager's heart couldn't help but decrease a little.
In fact, she didn't think Zheng Yong's inference was completely unreasonable. But she knew that the reason why Zheng Yong came to this inference was based on an incorrect factual basis.
Because Zheng Yong would never have thought that the reason why Shen Yunpeng did not die on that overpass was not because Shen Qingluo conspired with Han Bing, but because she, the old ancestor of the Queen Mother, had to put down her body and make a deal with Han Bing under that extremely unfavorable situation.
So to be precise, the person who really conspired with Han Bing was her, the queen mother who couldn't wait to cut that kid with a thousand cuts.
However, this matter is closely related to the face of her empress dowager's ancestor, and no one knows about it except for Du Xiaoqiong.
Of course, it is even more impossible for the treacherous old eunuch in front of him to find out the slightest insider.
