Bai Yu shook his head slightly, "I haven't found the person who poisoned me, but the Bailing flower will gradually emit the fragrance of plum blossoms after taking it for a period of time. The Royal Guards of the Lan Kingdom are heavily guarded, and ordinary assassins cannot sneak in at all, so
He must have been lurking in the palace all year round to be able to poison."
Zhu Zijian's expression changed slightly, and he had some thoughts in his mind, "So, master, do you suspect that the person who poisoned you is in the palace?"
"That's right, so my master is asking you if you are willing to go into the palace to find the murderer for your father." Bai Yu paused and continued:
"Once you accept this task, you can't change it. You have to think carefully!"
Zhu Zijian looked firmly at the cold coffin, where her father was lying.
For the sake of her father, she is willing to enter the palace.
"I will definitely find out who is behind it and avenge my father at all costs."
Bai Yu nodded with satisfaction, "The first task is to assist Zhu Ziye, the fifth prince of Lan Kingdom, to participate in the Dragon God Banquet and enter the final Hundred Dragon Banquet."
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhuzi Jian, "This contains all the information about Zhu Ziye. Be sure to remember it all and look for an opportunity to stay with him when you return to Lan Kingdom."
"The fifth brother came from a humble background. His mother was a concubine. His maternal grandfather Liang Yishou recommended Lan Hongzhi to Renzi Township and served as magistrate of Dong'an County. He is now the magistrate of Pingzhou from the fifth rank. He neither has the support of the ministers in the imperial court nor the support of his mother.
With the blessing of the concubine, how can I enter this Dragon God Banquet selection?" Zhu Zijian frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled in his heart.
The Dragon God Banquet is not an ordinary banquet of nations. It is held every five years, and the location is different every time.
Princes of all countries who are over sixteen years old and sons of royal relatives and nobles can participate. It is said that they complement each other and contribute to the national affairs of each country.
However, in the end, there were only ten candidates, and the competition was very fierce.
In the end, the winner of the Dragon God's Banquet, Yijia, will not only be able to make a name for himself in the world, but also be extremely prestigious in the Yuehua Continent, and enjoy the highest treatment in various countries.
Extremely, the glory that everyone is vying for.
And the rest of the people who entered the selection of the Hundred Dragon Banquet were all extraordinary people, possessing extraordinary abilities, and they became famous all over the world from then on.
Therefore, in order to be able to participate in the Dragon God's Banquet, each country will first hold internal competitions to select the final candidates. This is not only a good opportunity to shine one's own reputation, but also the glory of the prosperity of the glorious nation.
Lan Kingdom usually selects four princes, each with three civil servants and military officers to attend. The new emperor of Lan Kingdom has ascended the throne and has no heirs, so this year's Dragon God Banquet must be attended by all the princes.
The second prince of Lan Kingdom, who is suddenly the younger brother of the current emperor of Lan Kingdom, naturally occupies one of the places. The other three places are likely to be produced by the third prince, Zi Zhai, the fourth prince, Zi Wu and the seventh prince, Zi Mi.
Therefore, Zhuzi Jian was certain that Zhu Ziye would not be selected to participate in the Dragon God’s Banquet in the Lu State because of his background.
Bai Yu was not in a hurry to explain his reasons. He looked at Zhu Zijian and asked: "Master just said that the person who poisoned must stay in the palace all year round. This person has been with your father for many years without being discovered.
How many people do you think in the world today can do this and benefit from it?"
Zhu Zijian pondered for a long time and already had several candidates in mind.
Eight years ago, in order to run for the crown prince, there was a fierce battle inside and outside the imperial court. The situation was very fierce, and even the harem was already at war.
At that time, the eldest prince, Zhuzi Hunnai, was the daughter of the empress, and his grandfather Qi Bi was the Zuo Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province at that time. Headed by the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Rites, they all recommended the eldest prince as the candidate for the first prince at that time.
The Right Prime Minister's faction, headed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, recommended Zhuzi Zhai, the third prince at that time, as another candidate for the prince.
The left and right prime ministers were fighting over the choice of the prince, and the internal situation in the Lan Kingdom was turbulent. At that time, there was a sudden war on the border. King Wei personally led 300,000 troops to the border to fight, so the court finally stopped
The chaos caused by the position of the prince, together to fight against foreign enemies.
The border war lasted for two years, and the selection of the crown prince was still undecided. It was not until King Wei fell ill two years ago that the eldest prince was finally selected as the crown prince.
"Zijian believes that the current empress dowager and Prime Minister Zuo are the same faction in the palace, and are currently the most suspect."
"Yes, judging from the current situation in Lan Kingdom, the current Empress Dowager Yaoming is the biggest suspect. In recent years, Prime Minister Zuo's power in the palace has gradually expanded. The eldest daughter was promoted to the Queen Mother, and her grandson became the current emperor.
However, the right faction headed by Prime Minister You is not far behind. In the past few years, he has been secretly buying and selling soldiers and horses. The real power of the Ministry of War is in his hands. It is not impossible to use his power to plant a few secret lines around the late emperor.
So there is no way to get rid of his suspicion.
Bai Yu continued: "Although the fifth prince Zhu Ziye was not born prominently and did not have the blessing of mission forces, he had a good relationship with Wei Hanyi, the son of the right-wing prime minister. If this Dragon God Banquet makes Zhu Ziye famous everywhere,
You can also take this opportunity to stay with him and become a disciple of the right-wing prime minister."
"Master, since the current empress dowager is so suspicious, why didn't I just join the left wing and investigate secretly instead of choosing the right wing?"
Once she is listed as one of the factions, the other faction will be more wary of her, which will only hinder future investigations. Obviously, this is not what Zhuzijian wants.
"The various forces within the palace are in chaos, with the left slightly gaining the upper hand. The Queen Mother has the final say in the harem, and the Emperor has the backing in court affairs. To them, you are an orphan who has been fostered outside in name only, and is of no help to them. However, Wu
The prince has great ambitions but no place to display them. Your appearance will give him a glimmer of hope. He will not let go of you as a reinforcement. When he gradually gains some power and establishes a firm foothold in the palace, we will use the third force to
By acting in the palace, you can not only avoid the power struggle between the left and right ministers, but also arrange your own personnel to find the real culprit who killed your father."
"Master, you mean that I want to assist Fifth Brother?" Zhuzi Jian paused and continued: "Assist Fifth Brother in fighting..."
At this time, Zhu Zijian suddenly shut up and she didn't know whether she should blurt out the doubts in her heart.
It is obvious that this mission is not just as simple as assisting the fifth prince Zhu Ziye to be selected for the final spot, but there may be a deeper meaning behind it.
Zhu Zijian looked at the white jade in front of him, and silently had doubts in his heart.
'Master, what is your intention?' This chapter has been completed!
