Chapter 295 The True Murderer, Xiliang Dispute

In Jintang Yujue, this slightly simple and unpretentious study.

On the desk, several portraits were arranged in turn. The man in red on the side held his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other. His eyelids were slightly raised, and his eyes were dark. He seemed to be thinking about difficult doubts, but suddenly his eyebrows dispersed, and the corners of his lips were sharp and slow: "Your Highness's painting skills are refined again."

On the side of the case, a man dressed as a soldier fell to the bottom.

"I thought that Goro was surprised by His Highness's memory ability. Golang had never witnessed that thrilling that day. It was really... He didn't want His Highness to take a few glances at it and remember the appearance of the assassins on the spot. Even in a few escaped lives, he could draw a person by recalling. Although I heard Goro say about the palace before. There is the ability to 'n't forget at a glance', and I thought there was an exaggerated element..."

Before they finished speaking, they heard a sudden sneezing outside the door. The two turned around and saw the third prince covering his nose and step into the threshold: "I said that on the way, why is there someone's nose sneezing?" As soon as he raised his sleeves, he avoided the two people's salute and looked at Kong Xilin with a smile: "Is Xiao Wu coming? But what did Yao Hui find out?"

It turned out that since the third prince heard that Yao would die of "drunk", he wrote a letter and asked Kong Xilin to secretly inquire about this matter. Since returning to Beijing, he has not seen Kong Xilin for a long time. At this time, when he saw him, he naturally thought that there was progress.

Kong Xilin hummed softly: "I really don't know why your Highness paid attention to that nothing. What can I find is that he drank too much in the brothel, indulgence, and was already hollowed out by beauty. According to Shuntianfu, he was overwhelmed with too much five stone dispersion that day, which led to sudden death. Only the Yao family still took care of this nothingness behind him. The reputation made an excuse to die of drunkenness.

It is said that in the Western Wei Dynasty, the nobles of the family liked to eat Wushisan, and there were many people who died due to overdose. Later, the former Ming and Dongming dynasties strictly prohibited it, and went to Dalong. This trip was even more shameful to the world. Even those doodles of dogs and horses who occasionally ate, they had to hide their ears and eyes. They were to be despised and ate Wushisan. It is more "indetractive" than the general dren trip such as leaving a hook column, which attracts people's attention.

Although Lu Ze, Yin of Shuntianfu, is from a noble background, he can be called loyal and only maintains a face-to-face friendship with Jin Xiang's party members. Now that he has settled the case, it will not be a matter of being bribed by others.

However, how do you know whether Yao will take too much medicine or not? It is also possible to be murdered, but even the Yao family themselves are discouraged by this direct son. They only feel that he is not even qualified to be murdered, let alone what the world will think of him.

No wonder that although Kong Xilin spent some effort on this matter at the entrustment of the third prince, he did not think that anything strange could be detected from the beginning. At this time, he was full of sorrow and hummed heavily: "Your Highness hid me so much pain. If I hadn't listened to my father's words today, I wouldn't have known the danger of Bingzhou."

While the soldier's chin fell to the bottom again - how do you feel that there is an incredible sour taste in the study?

The third prince patted Kong Xilin on the shoulder: "Didn't I see you? It's not intentional to hide it."

"Su's fifth wife really has a life-saving grace?" Kong Xilin raised his eyebrows and was obviously very suspicious.

The soldiers silently turned their eyes away.

"Thanks to her arrow, she shot the thief." The third prince stretched out his finger and nodded a portrait on the desk, but turned his head and asked his soldiers, "Dongchang, what's the matter for you to investigate?"

Xue Dongchang, a soldier and close relative, is the only one who knows that the third prince had been injured by an arrow, but of course he will not think about why he could only shoot one arrow but hurt the two of them. At this time, when he heard the question, he immediately admired: "Your Highness's expectation is really good. He met the rosefinch today. According to him, Point out that two of them are the dead of the Fourth Highness, especially this one!"

Xue Dongchang picked up a portrait and raised it a few times in his hand - compared with the thick eyebrows and eagle eyes of another assassin, the person in the painting was very beautiful and could be called a white face.

"It's really a coincidence. Fortunately, when he escaped that day, His Highness drew this person alone, but he appeared in the fourth prince's mansion a few days ago. Only the fourth highness was on guard and strict, and the rosefinch could not find the two to talk."

The rosefinch is obviously just a substitute name, which has long been placed in the ears and eyes of the fourth prince's mansion. At present, it has more or less gained some trust, but it has not yet reached the extent that it will deal with the fourth prince before plotting to assassinate him.

However, Xue Dongchang's judgment about chance caused the third prince to raise his eyebrows slightly.

Of course, it was not a coincidence. Although the incident was critical that day, the third prince still noticed that the white-faced assassin was only "under one person". The eagle eye, who almost injured his life, had to be covered by the public in order to easily get rid of the bodyguard's raid on him. Later, it was the white-faced sound that made the people to lead the way and flee.

As for the other portraits, they have all played with the third prince, and all the corpses have been counted on the spot.

I think they are all Hawkeye's subordinates. They are not qualified to enter and leave the prince's mansion, so the rosefinch has no impression of them.

But since it recognizes the eagle's eyes and white face, it's enough.

However, of course, the third prince will not be naive enough to take this as a basis to sue the emperor and expose the actions of the fourth prince as the mastermind.

What he found deeply funny now was: "My fourth brother is really suspicious and cautious. He can't even believe his own Yue family, and it's really fierce. Seeing Qin Xiang coming out in danger, he didn't wake up."

Xue Dongchang looked unclear, but Kong Xilin tasted a little: "Your Highness, do you think this matter has nothing to do with Qin?"

"Of course, there is nothing to do, otherwise, he will not easily come forward to question the golden phase in front of the emperor." The third prince's oblique lips: "Qin Xiang's cunning is better than Jin Rong. If he knew that he was the fourth mastermind, how could he not take into account and expose himself? He should think that he is innocent and fearless of slander, and realize that the emperor's determination to eradicate the Golden Party will he rise up without any scruples. But if it hadn't been for the emperor's emperor, it's hard to doubt that Qin Xiang would take this opportunity to assassinate and blame Jin Rongzhong.

The fourth prince himself hid safely and watched Qin Xiang's adventure. This son-in-law in the east bed was really filial.

Xue Dongchang suddenly realized: "No wonder the rosefinch has worked hard for many years and has only gained five or six points of trust so far, and is still excluded from the core cronies by the fourth prince."

"That's enough. If he really gets the whole trust of Lao Si, I will doubt the credibility of what the rosefinch said." The third prince smiled.

Xue Dongchang wiped a cold sweat, which is really. When it comes to doubt, the Third Highness is also unfeared.

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Kong Xilin asked, "At present, the fourth prince has obviously regarded you as a thorn in his side."

"There is no nail in the eye, and the stumbling block is more accurate." The third prince shook his head: "If his plan failed this time, he will certainly be more cautious and won't take action easily. Besides, it's better to keep him than to eliminate it. This time, just treat it as a dumb loss."

"Your Highness is very good at what you have seen." Kong Xilin strongly agrees.

"However, the assassination of Jin Rongzhong is also very suspicious, and when he saw the disaster coming, he was willing to arrest him?" The third prince frowned again. He always felt that the beautiful scenery was intended to free Jin Rongzhong and not be involved in the assassination of the prince, but what was her purpose?

is really difficult to understand.

Kong Xilin asked again, "What's the progress of Your Highness and Su's Fifth Niang?"

"Xiaowu, she is now the princess of Guangping, and this is the progress." The third prince first motioned Xue Dongchang to leave - although he regarded Xue Dongchang as a close relative, it was better not to be careless: "The queen has deliberately fought for me."

Kong Xilin sneered: "At that time, the queen also fought for Aunt Su for Her Royal Highness, but she didn't become Princess Fu."

This made the third prince's heart feel blocked and hummed heavily: "You know that pour cold water on me. It's better to have a queen than nothing, right?" Despite this, the third prince still felt that he was not interested. The queen was right. Guan Jian still had to fight for the will of the scenery, but only in front of the scenery that he repeatedly hit the wall, that is, after many contacts on his trip to Bingzhou and the danger of life and death, the girl still treated him with etiquette, but she was estranged and perfunctory, which made people Gritting his teeth with hatred.

I didn't want to mention it for a while, so I said another thing: "After Halloween this year, I should go to Xiliang."

Kong Xilin's slender corners of his eyes slanted: "At this juncture?"

"What is helpless is also the meaning of the emperor." The third prince frowned and said it carefully.

No compared with the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the great ancestor and the two emperors of Emperor Taizong did not celebrate Halloween. On Christmas, they were just receiving congratulations from hundreds of officials and feasting in the palace. Today, the emperor naturally adheres to the ancestral teachings. Since his accession to the throne, he has not celebrated his birthday, but this year he is the 40th son of heaven, and there are many small monarchs led by Xiliang. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Emperor Dalong, he is allowed to send envoys from various countries to congratulate him. At present, it has been no more frequent than the war at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He has experienced more than 20 years of peace and prosperity, and the son of heaven is born again. The monarchs of various countries are so pious. The ministers and martial arts compete with each other. Naturally, the emperor will naturally be sympathetic to the kindness of his subjects and friends. Halloween in the twelfth lunar month is inevitable.

Not long after the third prince was ordered to go to Bingzhou, the letter from the king of Xiliang arrived in Jinyang. In addition to congratulating Wansheng, he also mentioned another thing──

Prince Xiliang was injured by a fierce beast and died in autumn hunting.

Unlike the monarchs of the great powers in the Central Plains, Xiliang is a country jointly ruled by the Three Leagues.

For a long time, outside Tongling Pass in Chuzhou, southwest, there have been more than a dozen small national ministerial alliances, which were originally operated by their respective camps. Later, they were the largest scale in Wuliang, Jinzhong and Yunbian, and the world is often referred to as the three countries in the southwest. However, during the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the northern people's wolf ambition not only repeatedly violated the Central Plains, but also expanded their territory to the west, gradually threatening the three countries in the southwest.

is independent and no longer has the power to resist the North Plains.

On the eve of survival, the king of Wuliang took the lead in launching the rule of self-improvement and self- Protection. First, he subdued many scattered alliances around, expanded the country, further strengthened national strength, and gradually became the head of the three countries in the southwest. He also convened a joint discussion of the three countries to reach an alliance with the monarchs of Jinzhong and Yunbian to establish the Xiliang regime.

After the establishment of Xiliang, although Wuliang Wanshi was the royal family, the military and government of a country was decided by the three surnames and established a special institution called the Three League Political Council, which was composed of Wuliang Wanshi, Jinzhong Hu and Yunbian Qingshi.

Today, the King of Xiliang is the grandfather of the third prince.

The king of Xiliang had two sons and one daughter. His daughter came to Dalong to make peace, and his eldest son was appointed as a prince, but he died in autumn hunting.

There is also a son, but he is not the queen's own child. At this time, he is not as old as the crown and his body is very weak.

The king of Xiliang is almost disabled, and he can't afford to get sick because of the pain of losing his son.

Therefore, he sent a letter to the emperor, who wanted to see the blood left by his daughter, that is, the third prince.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason. In fact, after the accidental death of Prince Xiliang, the king of Xiliang repeatedly proposed to make his young son the crown prince, but was rejected by the Three League Council as not a direct descendant of the royal family.

The late prince originally had two sons, but unfortunately died, but there was only one daughter, who was still thirteen, waiting for the boudoir.

Xiliang has a tradition, and the throne of the throne is only followed by the direct hemorrhagic vein.

If there is no legitimate son, it can also be inherited by the husband or son of the direct daughter, which is called "the direct daughter's successor" or "the direct daughter's successor", which is quite different from the etiquette of the Central Plains daughter who marries her husband and has nothing to do with her mother's family.

The only son and daughter of the bloodline of the king of Xiliang are all dead. His son-in-law is the son-in-law of Dalong. Of course, he can't go to Xiliang to inherit the throne. The third prince is also qualified to succeed to the throne, but he is the throne. Don't say that the emperor does not want him to let him go to the "small barbarbarian country" as the king. Even the three alliances in Xiliang can't pass.

In addition, the future son-in-law of the late prince can also inherit the throne.

This is the fundamental reason why the three alliances will veto the king of Xiliang to let the concubine succeed to the throne. Hu and Qing are nothing more than marry their nephew and let the Wan family change their surnames. In those years, there was indeed such an agreement in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. If the Wan family has no heir, you can choose Hu and Qing as the direct line as the king. Even if the direct husband inherits, he should also choose the marriage between Hu and Qing.

However, today, the king of Xiliang has ruled with an "iron fist". Over the years, he has continuously suppressed the three alliances of political meetings, which has achieved great results. Of course, it is difficult to accept the "daughter succession" and change the surname of the royal family.

However, although the power of the two surnames is not as good as before, they have not been completely eradicated. Besides, the two surnames adhere to the ancestral system, which is just right. It is not easy for the king of Xiliang to act against the system. In order to solve this matter peacefully, he has to win foreign aid.

The attitude of the Dalong Empire is particularly important, and the emperor's envoy to Xiliang is undoubtedly a hint that he will support his father-in-law, King Xiliang.

This is bound to be a heavy blow to the nobles of the "small barbarian country". They are already in a predicament in Xiliang, not to mention the resistance of the king of a great power.

After all, the third prince is the son of Princess Xiliang, and half of his blood belongs to the Wan family. Naturally, he will not ignore his grandfather, so he is bound to do this trip.
