As Dianyi took out the list, Fang Jue was confused.
"These people...why are they?"
Fang Jue was puzzled. Among the people on the list, except for Tian Deyi, who had great military power, the others were only second or even third in command in various departments.
Is the prince behind the scenes stupid? What is the point of dragging all these people along? Is it useless?
"What other news?" Fang Jue glared at Dianyi, "Are you trying to keep it secret?"
"Hey, don't you dare..."
"Master, if you want to know anything, just ask me!" Dianyi patted his chest and said proudly.
"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes...who is this prince?"
Fang Jue was sure that the man behind the scenes was definitely a prince.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to deceive Yue Pingchuan into rebelling, and cheat the King of Qin without doing anything at all.
Only the prince will benefit from this matter.
"Young Master is right, he is indeed a prince, but who is this prince... Maybe you didn't expect it, Young Master." Noriichi was still a little shocked.
"Isn't he King Jin?"
"It's really not true."
"Could it be King Yong'an?" Fang Jue actually had doubts about the little prince who was only in his teens.
If he did this, it would be terrible, which shows that there are many people supporting King Yong'an.
Moreover, King Yong'an's status is indeed not bad. He was born to a noble concubine. Since the emperor does not have a queen, he is considered the most noble prince.
It's just that he is too young. When His Majesty grows old, King Yong'an will only be in his twenties and will not be able to compare with other experienced princes.
Whether it is the power connections or the party members in the court, there is a huge difference.
"It's not King Yong'an either." Dianyi smiled and finally felt comforted. It turns out that the IQs of the young master and I are actually about the same.
Fang Jue's thoughts were suddenly blocked.
Not the King of Jin, not even the King of Yong'an.
Then only the King of Qi and the King of Wei are left.
"It's not the King of Qi or the King of Wei..." Dianyi smiled.
Fang Jue only felt that this smile was too cheap.
"What?"
Fang Jue felt very incomprehensible and went off the deep end: "Have you been deceived by Na Linhu? Does your Majesty still have a prince?"
"Master, I won't tease you anymore. The prince behind the scenes is Prince Yu."
"King Yu?..."
Is there this person?
Fang Jue thought for a long time before he found the name represented by this title in his mind.
"Xiao... fallen leaves?!"
His pupils dilated instantly, and Fang Jue was shocked by the truth!
How could it be him? My mind is full of questions!
Xiao Luoye, the swordsman of the Xuanjian Division... is also the emperor's prince, titled "Prince Yu".
However, unlike other princes, Xiao Luoye was just a county prince and did not have a residence, so the whole capital had forgotten his identity as a prince.
When counting the princes, this person will be missed.
Even if I think of him, I won't say it out loud and will deliberately not mention it.
The reason is very simple... Although Xiao Luoye is the prince, he was not born to a concubine, but to a woman outside the palace when His Majesty was young.
Although he was later found and granted the title of king, the royal clan did not recognize it and insisted not to grant the illegitimate son a gold seal treasure book, and also refused to allow Xiao Luoye to become a royal citizen.
Even if you are granted the title of king, you can only hold the title of county king for life.
Different from modern times, illegitimate children are not eligible to inherit.
Moreover, who knows if the bloodline lost outside has been replaced by someone else after so many years?
Who knows if the emperor was cuckolded by that woman? Is the child the emperor's or someone else's?
The royal family members have a lot of considerations, and the child must be born completely from conception to birth under their noses before he can be recognized as a blood relative of the royal family.
Although Xiao Pingsi is the emperor, he does not dare to rashly violate matters related to bloodline clans, and can only act in accordance with the laws of his ancestors.
After all, he also had worries about what might happen.
Therefore, Xiao Luoye's situation is not very good. No big shot in the capital cares about him, and they all know that this prince has no chance of inheriting the throne.
On weekdays, this person is quite low-key. Except for the Xuanjian Division, he doesn't stay much elsewhere, just like his duty.
As a result, many new people in the capital did not know that Xiao Luoye was a prince.
"How is it? Master, you are also very surprised, aren't you?" Dianyi said with a smile.
Fang Jue nodded, with aftershocks in his heart: "It's true...it's hard to believe that it's actually him!"
Fortunately, my name is Dianyi, so I made sure, otherwise King Jin would have been too miserable to bear the blame!
It's not just me... I'm afraid that our Emperor, His Majesty, also suspects that it was King Jin who did Yue Pingchuan's vote, right?
"Xiao Luoye...this sixth man is really well hidden!"
"Lin Hu said that they were using half of Tian Deyi's authentic military talismans. He showed it to Yue Pingchuan, and Yue Pingchuan believed them." Dian Yi added.
Military symbols are not only controlled by the emperor.
Often a military talisman is divided into two halves, one half is owned by the emperor, and the other half is in the hands of the garrison generals. When troops need to be mobilized, the two must be combined into one to have legal effect.
Throwing away military talismans was a capital offense, so Lin Hu took half of Tian Deyi's military talismans and showed them to Yue Pingchuan. Yue Pingchuan immediately believed that the Yulin Army would be his ally.
"I have long said that Yue Pingchuan is not a fool. He will never let go of a hawk before he sees a rabbit... This can be explained." Fang Jue nodded slowly, and some doubts can now be considered and understood.
Regarding the Yue Pingchuan case, Fang Jue can now make up his mind.
Xiao Luoye was granted the title of Prince of the County, and was stuck for the rest of his life. He could not seize the throne, and he did not even have his own palace.
For a prince, this was indeed too much. Xiao Luoye, who felt that he had lost his dignity and future, also wanted to compete for the highest position.
Therefore, Xiao Luoye began to cultivate his own manpower and win over courtiers to secretly serve as party members.
With the help of the Xuanjian Division's espionage network, Xiao Luoye was able to maneuver both ways and placed many people in various departments.
But it is not easy to win over those ministers, and they look down upon him.
A prince who does not even have a royal birthplace has no chance of ascending to the throne unless he rebels.
Therefore, it is impossible to win over. People have a better chance of seeking refuge with King Yongan than with him, the King of Yu.
However, Xiao Luoye is the swordsman in charge of the Xuanjian Division. As the emperor's spy, he can know everything about the Xuanjian Division.
Naturally, some information can be hidden from the emperor.
Xiao Luoye relied on the Xuanjian Division to find out the dark histories of many ministers, and used this as a threat to control these courtiers and use them for his own purposes.
On weekdays, he didn't do anything serious, and he didn't dare to show his face prematurely in front of the emperor.
So what to do... Of course, he would have a chance by slandering the other princes so that they would have no chance.
King Qin was not Xiao Luoye's first target.
Some of the princes who had left the capital to join the vassal were committed by Xiao Luoye's gang members. They were like crows in the night, and no one could detect them.
When the princes who have won the rightful title see them slandering other princes, they will think that they are the gang members of some other prince... They would never think of Xiao Luoye.
So far, Xiao Luoye has hidden it perfectly.
If Fang Jue had not been provoked, Lin Hu would have been caught by Dianyi again and used veritaserum to torture out the information. I am afraid that the courtiers would still be toyed with by him.
"This person is very scheming, which is interesting...but..."
"Then why did he attack me?"
Fang Jue was puzzled: "My existence can enhance the country's power and appease the people's livelihood... Any emperor will like it. Why did Xiao Luoye kill me? He should win me over?"
Since entering Beijing, Fang Jue has made two big moves.
The first one is his unparalleled medical skills, which makes all the big shots want to befriend him. After all, who doesn’t have a patient?
The second is high-yielding grain.
This thing was brought out to build a golden body. As long as it is promoted, the emperor will not dare to touch him casually in the future.
This is the divine weapon of the country. He is like a god descending to earth. Such a talent does not win over but assassinates him. Is Xiao Luoye a fool?
Of course Fang Jue wouldn't think so.
From Xiao Luoye's various operations, it can be seen that this is a very capable sixth man, who is not lacking in wisdom and means.
"Master, I have asked this question too..."
Dianyi was a little sulky and said: "Lin Hu said that they don't care about whether the grain is high or not, nor about the life and death of the people... They will always be rich. No matter how many people starve to death, they will still have good food and clothing..."
"Oh, I understand..."
Fang Jue shook his head, it turned out that Xiao Luoye just wanted to be a mediocre and foolish king.
Throughout the ages, countless men have wanted to ascend to Dabao, but how many of them are truly talented and strategists who regard the country, the country, and the people of the world as their own responsibility?
They only saw the one who was above and had the power to control the life and death of thousands of armies and thousands of people!
"wrong……"
Fang Jue shook his head: "Even so, I didn't provoke him, Xiao Luoye, right? You can leave me alone without wooing me, so why do you have to kill me?"
"..." Dianyi was silent, but his eyes were staring at his young master strangely.
"What do you mean?" Fang Jue asked.
Noriichi: "Master, do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?"
Fang Jue shook his head, he really didn't understand.
"Master... before you came to the capital, there were rumors in the capital that the two sword masters of the Xuanjian Division were a match made in heaven..."
Dianyi smiled and said: "But after you came, Mr. Ye favored you very much... She is on the beauty list, and she represents the Duke of Ye's house. King Qin wants to get Ye Ling'er, and King Yu wants to get Ye Hongyi, so that's it.
normal……"
"Huh?" Fang Jue stared, "For the red clothes?"
Fang Jue looked disgusted, and he immediately despised King Yu even more!
He's not manly at all, he's not as charming as he is, yet he actually engages in assassination.
"Hmph, since you have already taken action, I can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. Noiichi, we have to take action first!"
Dian nodded: "How to do it?"
"Kill King Yu!" Fang Jue's face was fierce. He wanted to kill me, so why should I be so polite?
Anyway, he is just an unimportant illegitimate child.
"Master, are you impulsive?" In the past, Noriichi always shouted to fight and kill, but now he felt that the master was a little impulsive.
"How big of a shock would it be to kill a prince?" Noriichi was a little worried.
Fang Jue snorted coldly: "This person is too insidious, we can't guard him all the time, we must kill him!"
This person makes Fang Jue feel dangerous. He is an old man, an extremely stubborn man, who can bite you at any time like a poisonous snake.
"Okay, I'll kill him, just like picking something out of a bag!" Dian narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands.
