Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2498: Fu Yue's trace, Xuanye's blame

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was also in an extremely chaotic state, with acute internal conflicts.

Therefore, Xuanye also needed an external conflict to temporarily divert internal conflicts and give him time to integrate.

Before, Huang Taiji was assassinated and poisoned, and after he came back, he was ultimately not rescued.

The most crucial thing is that Fu Yue, who stabbed Huang Taiji, actually slipped away!

Upon hearing this news, Xuanye himself was so angry that he laughed!

A Han Chinese assassinated the emperor of their Qing Dynasty and was just disappeared. Are they treating them like pigs?
Would anyone believe such a thing?

Under normal circumstances, Fu Shuo, who couldn't even get out of the dense forest, should be arrested.

The guards around the emperor's hunting grounds must be tight. How could Fu Shuo, an unarmed man, possibly walk out of that dense forest?

However, not only has the person not been caught, his whereabouts are still unknown. It is simply ridiculous. If there is no internal problem, then there must be something fishy going on.

Xuanye soon realized that Fu Yue had not been able to find anyone for a long time, and it seemed that the biggest suspect was himself.

After all, Fu said that for this matter, not only must there be an insider, but the position of this insider must be high enough. Only in this way can the current situation be formed.

No matter from which perspective, if Huang Taiji had any accident, Xuanye would be the biggest beneficiary after this incident. In fact, the reality is indeed like this. In the matter of Huang Taiji, Xuanye got a lot of benefits.

In the Qing Dynasty, Xuanye's power expanded in a short period of time.

The voices about this matter were not just a sign. In fact, because Fu Yue had not been captured, such voices had already appeared within the Qing Dynasty. Especially with Huang Taiji being poisoned and unconscious, and Xuanye almost holding the power alone, such voices became more and more.

After that, with the death of Huang Taiji, the position of the Qing emperor became vacant. Driven by interests, this voice became more and more frequent, and more and more people wanted to use this to attack Xuanye.

Because of this, Xuanye had no choice but to give up the throne that was only one step away from him.

The purpose was to ease the internal conflicts within the Qing Dynasty.

The position of emperor was of course important to Xuanye. However, he had a broad perspective. With the current complex situation in the world, stability was extremely important.

The throne of the emperor is only useful if the Qing dynasty is still in existence. If the Qing dynasty is gone, the throne of the emperor is worthless, not even as good as the status of a beggar.

As long as the Qing Dynasty still exists, he will always have a chance to become emperor in the future.

However, Xuanye could temporarily not take the throne of emperor, but who would take this position also needed careful consideration.

Among Huang Taiji's sons, those who have grown up are naturally difficult to control.

What's more, all of Huang Taiji's sons who reached adulthood were officials or generals to some extent. Also, as they were princes, they all had some power.

If these people were supported, there would be no shortage of problems in the future. If one of them failed, it would be like having a serious problem. Therefore, the simplest way was to push forward a child and let Xuanye himself act as the regent.

A child lacked direct influence on the court or the army. As the regent, Xuanye was not the emperor, but he could perform the duties of an emperor.

At least, before this child comes of age and takes power, the regent can be said to be half a de facto emperor.

Not only Xuanye, but even his political enemies, had the same opinion on this point.

Compared to an adult prince, they were more willing to promote a child to the throne. After all, such a person would have no influence on them.

A child is a complete blank, and the future is naturally up to them to carve. As for what shape they can carve into, and whether they can carve into the shape they want, that depends on their own abilities.

However, even though Xuanye reluctantly gave up the throne that was only one step away from him, he still could not explain clearly the matter of Huang Taiji.

As long as he cannot explain this matter clearly, it will become a reason for him to be attacked, and it will become a reason for his political opponents to attack him.

If Xuanye wanted to explain this matter clearly, the best way would naturally be to find Fu Yue.

After the incident with Huang Taiji, Xuanye never stopped looking for Fu Yue. He deployed a large number of cavalry and blood-dropping darts on the main roads leading out of the Qing Dynasty, especially the roads leading to Youzhou, but he still did not get anything.

Therefore, Xuanye believed that Fu Yue was definitely still in the Qing Dynasty at this time. That was why Xuanye was so sure that the Qing Dynasty's high-level officials were involved in this matter. If it were someone with a lower status, how could they not find any news about Fu Yue so late?
If no one helped him, no matter how poor the efficiency of the Qing Dynasty was, it would certainly not be this bad.

In fact, sometimes, some simple things are overly complicated by some smart people, so they can't solve some puzzles.

If Fu Shuo was alive and could not be found, it would naturally be a big problem for the high-ranking officials within the Qing Dynasty.

But what if he died?
Many times, a dead person is harder to find than a living person.

After all, in this era, too many people die every day. And human life is worthless in such a chaotic world.

Besides, some people died, and there were ways to prevent them from leaving any traces.

In this way, Xuanye naturally could not find any trace of Fu Yue.

Therefore, he has no good way to get rid of this blame for the time being.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Huang Taiji wanted to rely on external conflicts to divert internal conflicts and buy himself time to solve the problem.

It not only gave Youzhou a way out and the possibility to mobilize more forces to resist Jin, but also diverted the conflict and provided a chance to breathe. It was killing two birds with one stone. Why wouldn't Xuanye want to do it?
It’s not a big deal for the army to just take a stroll along the border!

Besides, there is a lot of knowledge involved in deciding which army should take a stroll along the border.

For Xuanye, if this matter is handled properly, it might even be possible to kill three birds with one stone.
