The first thousand one hundred and fifty-five chapters
Profit is the root of everything.
What can be gained and what can be lost?
In the end, are there advantages or disadvantages?
After reaching a certain height, conspiracy and tricks are actually of little use anymore.
Even if all the evidence points to a fact, as long as there is a contradiction with the most essential point, it will arouse others' suspicion.
Framing a foreign mission?
Of course Cheng Wang has a more realistic and effective way.
But it's of no use.
Given the mission of those foreign missions and their current situation, even if they were given ten courages, they would not assassinate a prince of Dali in the capital of Dali.
This is not taking grain from the fire, but actually committing suicide.
Therefore, no matter how thorough his planning was, there were still many doubts about the mission's assassination in the eyes of King Yu's people.
Rather.
Because it is too realistic, the evidence that needs to be presented in a secret way may be deliberately turned a blind eye.
This will greatly increase the failure rate of the plan.
Therefore, King Cheng used such a straightforward method.
As long as the people investigating this matter are not stupid, everyone will be able to see through the evidence he deliberately left behind that this was a frame-up of the alien mission.
But precisely because of this, the evidence was nakedly placed in front of everyone's eyes and could not be ignored.
Not everyone can act rationally.
Either they really can't see it, or they are deliberately muddying the waters. When all the evidence points to the foreign mission, then even if someone sees that this is a frame-up, it will not help.
Until the real murderer is found, the alien mission can only be treated as the biggest suspect.
It involves the assassination of a Dali prince.
When the alien mission is forced to get involved, whether it is to prove their innocence or for other reasons, they cannot pretend that nothing happened.
Similarly, as a victim, King Yu could not easily cut off his entanglement with the alien mission.
And this is the true purpose of becoming a king.
It doesn't matter if you are seen through, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it.
King Cheng of Mingyue Tower, who is responsible for carrying out this matter, has ordered them to hibernate for a short period of time in the name of the Divine Lord.
When the real killer could not be found, and the evidence on those killers also pointed to the alien mission, King Yu would inevitably shift his energy to the alien mission even if he did not want to be led around.
Even if it is just a pretense, it must be like this.
As long as King Yu gets entangled with the foreign envoys, his goal will be achieved.
…
As for why King Cheng planned this assassination, it also stemmed from the uneasiness in his heart.
During the period since he took charge of the country, all developments have gone smoothly.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt something was wrong.
This is not Stockholm Syndrome, and King Cheng, who is a Realm Lord, cannot have any delusions of being persecuted.
For the moment, let’s not mention the fight for the position of the Lord of the Ancient Moon Realm, and focus on the Dali throne in front of us.
Since taking on the role of supervising the country, King Cheng's advantages have been expanding step by step, but King Yu, whose ideas have been banned, is struggling day by day.
To this day, even though people still think that King Yu is still one of the candidates who can inherit the throne, they have been ranked behind him subconsciously.
Maybe it's not just subconscious.
Regarding the succession to the throne, he has now surpassed King Yu in the voice of the capital, both in the court and in the downtown area.
If nothing unexpected happens, he is already the unqualified successor to the throne.
But precisely because of this, King Yu's quietness showed a trace of abnormality.
Even though there was a ban imposed by the old emperor, it only banned him from the palace and did not prevent King Yu from doing other things.
Could it be that King Yu thought that after he succeeded to the throne, he would let this brother go?
Don't be naive.
Even if the true identities of him and Prince Yu are not mentioned, there cannot be any family affection among the royal family.
In order to ensure the stability of his rule, the first thing King Cheng did after he succeeded to the throne was to clean up the lineage of King Yu that posed the greatest threat to the throne.
Because, whether it was to survive or not to give up the throne, King Yu could not let him develop like this.
However, the fact is that almost half a year has passed since returning to Beijing, and King Yu has never shown any signs of causing trouble.
As I said before, when you reach the level of becoming a king, the usefulness of conspiracy has been greatly reduced.
Although King Cheng had no evidence in his hands, he always believed that King Yu's silence must be some kind of illusion.
Even if he hasn't caused trouble yet, he must be planning to cause trouble.
Therefore, among the people who monitored Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Cheng also had the largest number of people.
But until now, he still hasn't found any clues.
Since no clues can be found, another plan can only be initiated.
King Cheng didn't know what King Yu was planning, but it didn't matter. He just needed to find other things to distract him.
So there will be no assassination today.
Whether King Yu wanted to prove that the foreign mission had nothing to do with the assassination, or whether he took advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him, it didn't matter to King Cheng.
Anyway, just let him have no energy and continue planning to leave the throne.
At the same time, it can also delay negotiations with foreign missions.
Regardless of whether this was a frame-up or not, since evidence related to the alien mission has now emerged, the alien mission must give the court an explanation.
Even King Cheng only left clues related to the Ryukyu mission, which was also considered.
If there are clues pointing to each mission, then in order to prove their innocence, these alien missions will inevitably unite.
But it's different if it points to a separate mission.
Even though everyone could see that this assassination was most likely a frame-up, no one dared to say anything definite until the murderer or substantive evidence was found.
No matter how small the probability is, it is not necessarily impossible.
As for the various alien missions, the forces behind them reluctantly cooperated only because of the threat from the Immortal Army.
But in fact, the forces behind these foreign missions have their own contradictions.
They simply can't trust each other.
Therefore, before the murderer or substantive evidence is found, the Ryukyu mission is likely to be questioned by other missions, causing gaps in this superficial alliance.
This allows the Dali side to once again expand its advantage in negotiations.
King Cheng chose the Ryukyu mission among these foreign missions, which has another meaning.
That is to cause some trouble for the world lord clone in the Ryukyu mission.
Although the two of them were originally allies, this time they were in a competitive relationship within the Ancient Moon Realm.
Therefore, if he could cause him some trouble, King Cheng would not hesitate.
