The second update is coming today!!! The third update should be around 8 pm!!! Thank you!

——————————————

In the cold winter, it is naturally a foggy and cold weather, and frost is endless.

It has been three times since I returned from the Wuming Valley. Three times will investigate the case of Li Guifei poisoning that has been suspended for one month. It has to be said that Zhengyao's talent and ability in this area are beyond doubt. Therefore, he will naturally win

With the favor of Jiajing and King Jing, Yan Song even so far, he wanted to take Zhengyao for his own use.

When King Jing took the initiative to ask Jiajing to give him a marriage, Yan Song did something that seemed to harm others and was not good for himself. Even if Zheng Yao and Jiajing were closer, Zheng Yao would not get too close to Prince Jing.

It seems that Jiajing is a foolish monarch after all, and no matter how good the talent he gives him, he can only use nothing. However, King Jing is different. King Jing is very scheming. Once he is allowed to take power, he will naturally be excluded and suppressed.

The Chinese power will inevitably decline, which he absolutely does not allow.

Now Jiajing proposes to make a decision after three times, which is actually a good thing for everyone. Zhengyao and the other two parties need to calmly think about it. After all, marriage is not a joke. As for King Jing Yan Song and others, they have to do it.

The worst plan is to take all measures to deal with it.

However, there is still something unknown, that is, Prince Annan was assassinated.

Not long after he retired from the court, when Zhengyao was about to leave the palace, eunuch Feng Bao called Zhengyao and then went straight to the imperial room.

Although Jiajing sometimes feels very stupid and ignores the government, this does not mean that he doesn't know anything, nor does it mean that he is a fool. Prince Annan's visit to the Ming Dynasty was an extremely secretive thing, and most people would not know it. If it is said that

The attack on the way back to Annan was an accident. He didn't believe it if he was beaten to death.

Therefore, he always suspected that someone was secretly provoking the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Annan, causing the situation between the two countries to be tense and confrontation. Once the two countries go to war, the benefits will definitely be the southern Japanese and northern Japanese, and even the Western Regions.

, He couldn't know who was secretly causing trouble, so he wanted to ask Zhengyao to come and discuss it together.

However, one thing is certain that the people who are secretly in trouble will inevitably be important officials in the court, because only these people know that Prince Annan comes to the Ming Dynasty and that once the prince is killed, Annan will definitely turn against the Ming Dynasty.

In the imperial room.

At this moment, Jiajing was already sitting upright on the dragon chaise behind the table, and on the left side of the table were Prince Annan Mo Maoqia and Ning An.

After Zhengyao walked in, he gave a simple greeting, and Jiajing was very easy-going to give Zhengyao a seat.

"I'm calling Zhengyao this time, but I actually want to ask something." Jiajing looked at Zhengyao and said lightly.

Zhengyao paused for a moment, then turned his eyes and said, "Prince, please speak, I will definitely tell you everything."

Actually, there is no need for Jiajing to say that, Zhengyao also understands what he wants to know. Because Zhengyao has always wanted to find time to tell Jiajing about this matter. But since he came back, he has been busy with the case of Concubine Li. He rarely has time to do anything else, so

It's time to drag it to the present.

"I really want to know. Logically, the prince came to Annan in secret. If you hadn't discovered the prince's identity, I wouldn't have known why the prince was attacked in the woods?" Jiajing was curious.

Asked.

Not to mention that he was curious, even Prince Annan Mo Maochao was very curious. He had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty and had not exposed his identity or made a grudge with others. Who would have chased him for no reason? It would be fine if he robbed money.

, but judging from the formation of those men in black, it is obvious that they want their own lives.

If Mo Maoqia hadn't had great fortune and had no major injuries after falling into the valley, but had suffered a slight injury, then he would not have been rescued by Zhengyao, and he would not have been here.

This attack was so bad that it deliberately provoked the issue of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This was absolutely angry that Mo Maoqia and Jiajing were absolutely angry.

"Father, my son has always wanted to say that this time the prince was attacked must be caused by someone behind the scenes. He just wanted to provoke the war between Ming and Annan, and then this person would make a profit." Ning'an

Before Zhengyao could speak, he took the lead in speaking.

Zhengyao nodded and said, "What the princess said is right, Weichen thinks so too. Although the men in black were all covered in black, they couldn't see clearly and their voices were blurry, Weichen said

It is certain that this group of people are definitely a group of samurai trained secretly. They do things neatly and speak clearly, and they act ruthlessly, kill them with one move. It is hard to believe that they are just ordinary bandits."

Not to mention other things, just from the movements, expressions and language forms of these people, they can be asserted that they are not ordinary bandits, which is enough to see how strong Zhengyao's observation ability is, which is closely related to his years of observation career.

"Well, after the group of people stopped Xiaochen's carriage, they fought without saying a word. It was not a robbery at all, but just to complete an assassination mission." Mo Maoqia added.

Mo Maoqia is undoubtedly the most depressing. If these people want to kill him, they have to give themselves a reason, at least they will die clearly. However, these people don’t even say a word, and they will be facing each other with swords. If it weren’t for him.

If your martial arts skills are not weak, your soul will probably have already returned to the west.

Ning An continued: "According to the words of the minister, this must have been done by the people in the court! Because this time it was clearly the assassination of Prince Annan, and those who could know Prince Annan's identity and the time of leaving were also senior officials in the court.

, surely! And the most suspicious one is Yan Song! He has always been in charge of the government. Obviously, a mere cabinet minister can no longer satisfy his sanctions. It is very likely that he just wanted to take this opportunity to fight with Annan, Father.

, At that time, he can reap the benefits of the fisherman and take the opportunity to usurp the throne of a certain dynasty!"

Ning An's bold assumption is indeed bold enough, and he bluntly said that the mastermind was Yan Song. However, it is not unreasonable for her to say this. After all, Yan Song has indeed controlled the government for many years as Ning An said. If he had no **, it would be impossible.

of.

However, Zhengyao did not make any statement, did not deny Ning An's opinion, but did not agree. Because Zhengyao still had a doubt in his heart at this moment, a doubt that he had never understood but did not want to tell anyone-

Why did the man in black stuff himself a dagger before he fell into the valley, and why did he throw down the golden silk to escape from him and Ning An?

The reason why Zhengyao didn't tell others was actually a concern in his heart. Ning An's suspicion made sense, and Yan Song was likely to be the mastermind who led the attack on Prince Annan, but with Yan Song's means, he would never be able to deal with Zhengyao.

Just show mercy to your subordinates! Unless the person privately wanted to let him go without him from Yan Song, otherwise there would be something else in this matter!

Jiajing nodded and said, "Ning'er, your guess is the same as I thought, but there is no substantial evidence to prove that it was Yan Song. And even if they catch the men in black, they may not necessarily confess Yan Song. After all,

Zhengyao, you said that these people are secretly trained warriors, so you will never reveal a word."

Jiajing's analysis is also reasonable. From this we can see that Jiajing is not as unbearable as ordinary people say. In fact, he also has his own opinions. However, just as he said, there is no evidence, and Yan Song is not allowed to be used.

Method: If the army outside the city may attack at any time if it is a hurry, then its dragon throne will be in danger.

After all, Yan Song is still in charge of part of the military power around the capital, and it is not enough to take it back in a while.

Zhengyao said, "Well, what the emperor said is very much. For the sake of the present, I think it's still not to speak for the time being. Just pretend that this matter has passed quietly and let the other party be neglected to prevent it. Maybe it will be more interested in it at that time.

Unexpected gains.”

Responding to changes in the same way may be the best way, and using stillness to control the movement is the right way. Although there may not be any gains in the short term, as long as the other party has ambition and as long as the other party does not give up, there will inevitably be another

When you show up, as long as you take more precautions, you will definitely be able to resolve all doubts.

"What did Zhengyao think the first step is now?" Jiajing looked at Zhengyao and asked.

For Jiajing, Zhengyao was like his military advisor at this moment, and he believed in Zhengyao without doubt. I have to say that Jiajing valued Zhengyao very much and really regarded it as his half son.

Zhengyao coughed twice, looked at Mo Maoqia and said to Jiajing: "Return to the emperor, now I think the prince should be returned to the country immediately, so that King Annan can eliminate his hostility and vigilance towards the Ming Dynasty, and thus

Only after the country can we live in peace. At the same time, we also informed the people hiding in the dark that nothing happened to the prince. Their plan failed and they might be able to lead the snake out of the cave. Therefore, the empress suggests that the prince must be more lively when he returns to the country.

It’s more lively and more spectacular than it is. You don’t have to be afraid of the other party assassinating again, you’re afraid of the other party not coming!”

Zhengyao decisively expressed his suggestions, which was a trick to kill two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, after Prince Annan returned to his country, he would definitely make King Annan happy and put all his previous suspicions about the Ming Dynasty behind him. The relationship between the two countries will naturally be better than before. On the other hand, if the other party is determined to destroy the two countries.

Relationship, then you will definitely assassinate Prince Annan along the way. This is undoubtedly a chance to find the mastermind behind Zhengyao. Of course, the other party may not dare to be too presumptuous and decided to stop temporarily. However, in this way, Prince Annan can return to China smoothly.

After all, it's still a good thing.

I have to say that Zhengyao's method is very practical.

"Well, then I wonder if the prince has any objections?" Jiajing looked at Mo Maochao and asked. After all, he had to ask Prince Annan's own opinion.

But Mo Maochao didn't care, and smiled and said, "Well, Lord Li's method is good. He left quietly because he was afraid of revealing his identity. As a result, he didn't want to be ambushed like this. Instead of ambushing again, it would be better to take the initiative.

Induce the other party to take the bait.”

"Well, then, then I will ask someone to arrange the prince's itinerary. If I don't know, I will leave and return home!" Jiajing said without saying much.
