Chapter 720: Miaomiao is suspicious, the initiator
"The situation in the capital seems chaotic, but the major forces have long been divided. The three forces headed by several princes are working on their own affairs and seeking the future."
"Except for these three forces, and then the emperor's own forces, this group of people is probably the most conservative. No one can win over the emperor until something happens to him."
"And there is a force outside the imperial power..."
Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes. Although the old man didn't say who it was, he guessed it.
"Champion House??"
The old man chuckled.
"good!"
"Jia Qi has been missing for more than half a year now. It stands to reason that a force cannot last long if it loses its backbone. However, the situation in the Champion House is uncharacteristically different. What does this mean?"
As the old man spoke, his eyes became dark.
Not to mention a prince's house, even a dynasty, the handover of old and new power is usually accompanied by a bloody storm, but the champion prince's house has always been the same. Not only did there not be any major problems in the house, even the Snow Dragon Cavalry did not cause trouble.
The things here are not simple. Jia Qi made many enemies in the court, but during the period when he disappeared, the Hou Mansion remained standing. This shows that Jia Qi was not without people in the court. On the contrary, these people were hiding
It is very deep and has enough power to suppress the counterattack of the hostile forces.
In terms of the army, Jia Qi disappeared, leaving only a group of frail women in the house. Of course, it is not right to say that. The one named Cai Luan is a master of poisoning, but she alone can suppress
Can you survive the proud and powerful generals of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?
Therefore, in his opinion, there was also a back-up force left by Jia Qi in the army, and this back-up force prevented those generals from taking a step beyond their reach.
Taken together, Taoist Miao Miao can guess that there is a force hidden in the Champion House, acting like a royal guard. These people are loyal to Jia Qi and have no second thoughts. It is precisely because of them that
The forces built by Jia Qi had such terrifying cohesion that during the period when Jia Qi disappeared, the Hou Mansion remained as stable as a mountain.
"Old Immortal, do you think Father knows about this?"
Chu Xuan suddenly mentioned Emperor Mingkang.
The old Taoist priest immediately fell silent. Compared to the prince, who had a fairly good character, the emperor who had been in power for decades had a much higher character than him.
Since he could spot something fishy in this matter, then the two emperors Ming Kangdi and Taikang Emperor must also be able to.
"etc."
A frightening thought suddenly came to Taoist Miao Miao's mind. Could it be that the people standing behind the Champion House were none other than the two emperors in the palace? If so, then everything would make sense.
Chu Xuan looked at the old Taoist who suddenly fell silent, thinking that the other party was guessing whether Emperor Mingkang knew the inside story, but he didn't know that Taoist Miao Miao had already wandered away from the world at this time.
And at this moment, that terrible idea had occupied the heart of the old Taoist priest. If his idea was true, what was the connection between Jia Qi and Emperor Mingkang and Emperor Taikang?
"Taoist Priest! Taoist Priest!!"
Chu Xuan shouted twice more, and the old Taoist priest came back to his senses. However, when he looked at Chu Xuan, there was something strange in his eyes that the other party could not understand.
"Your Highness, have you investigated the life experience of champion Hou Jiaqi?"
Chu Xuan was stunned. He didn't understand why the old Taoist priest would ask this. Jia Yu was born in Ning Guogong's palace and was a branch of Ning Guogong's lineage. This matter had been turned upside down very early on.
, and as far as Jia Qi himself is concerned, does it matter what other identity the other party has now?
"Taoist Master, now is not the time to talk about this, is it? Besides, Jia Chu's identity has been verified by the emperor a long time ago. In addition to Ning Guogong's mansion, when Jia Chu conquered the Northern Territory and established a government, it was because of the emperor's grace.
!”
Upon hearing this, Taoist Miaomiao felt relieved. He had already investigated, which meant that there was no problem with the other party's identity, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Throughout the ages, throughout the dynasties, those who fought for their way out through military exploits often had a bad ending.
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.
The path that Jia Qi took was not a path that could lead to a happy ending. His prestige in the army was too great, which was intolerable to the man on the throne. If there were problems in the country, it would be okay, but if there were no problems in the border areas,
For the emperor, Jia Qi itself was a problem and a threat.
But why did Jia Qi disappear for so long and neither Emperor Taikang nor Emperor Mingkang took action against the champion prince's mansion?
I'm afraid there is something in it, but he can't know it at the moment.
"Old fairy, what should we do next?"
The most important task Chu Xuan came to see Taoist Miaomiao today was to ask him what he should do next to completely muddy the water in the capital.
Taoist Miaomiao's eyes flashed twice. For him, this matter is not difficult. Many times, opponents stand still. It's not that he doesn't care at all, but that the pressure has not reached the limit that they can bear.
Take the affair between the imperial concubine and the bodyguard as an example. The palace blocked the news, but those outside the palace still got the information. It was just a matter of how long it took.
And because this matter involves the royal family, no matter whether it is inside or outside the palace, people who discuss it dare not bring it to light, and those who know the news generally do not spread the news. If the matter really spreads, the court will definitely
If the government intervenes, there is no guarantee that the court will find out something, and at that time, facing the royal family's thunderous wrath, all nine tribes may have to take advantage of it.
But it is becoming more and more like this, which means that the palace absolutely does not want this matter to be spread.
"This matter may be said to be simple or difficult. It depends on what His Highness thinks."
After thinking for a moment, Taoist Miaomiao spoke.
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. Sure enough, from previous contacts, he found that the old Taoist priest in front of him had no worse control over people's hearts than Fan Yuan and those old foxes.
"Taoist Master, come quickly!"
Taoist Miaomiao chuckled.
"Your Highness can go find someone on the street, tell him about the matter, and then let the matter ferment. When the entire capital knows that the imperial concubine in the palace has an affair with a guard, the emperor will not remain indifferent. By that time,
No matter those who want to stop with silence, or those who sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, they will never be as quiet as they are now."
When Chu Xuan heard this suggestion, his eyes changed slightly. He was not as happy as he imagined. It was obvious that what the Taoist priest said did not completely move him.
As a prince, he knew very well that family scandals should not be made public.
Once the matter reaches that point, his father will definitely intervene. Once he finds out that he did it, the consequences will no longer be a small fight.
"Taoist priest really dares to say that!!"
Miao Miao seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking, and then changed his voice and said again: "The method is simple, but there are also difficulties in it. How to make people not find out that we did this is the most important thing in this matter.
