Shendou Continent

Chapter 214
I see!This King Jian actually hid it so deeply.After hearing the man's narration, Lin You's heart was already in turmoil.

He asked the man's name again, and the man claimed to be Wang Liang, and he was from Kangzhou, Ouyue.Lin You wanted to ask some more details, such as who was the eunuch escorted in the palace?Do you still remember the other henchmen that King Jian placed in the palace?But Wang Liang didn't know anything about those problems.Anyway, this kind of thing is a one-way connection.They saved Wang Liang, and it was already a great achievement for him to tell so many secrets.As for Wang Liang, he intends to repay his kindness, so he is also willing to join the "Lin'an Sect".In this way, the strength of Lin You's "Lin'an Sect" can also be improved to a higher level, which is also good and good will be rewarded!
According to the changes in the situation, Lin You immediately gave orders: one is to send someone to inquire about Wang Liang's details according to Wang Liang's statement, and to confirm his true identity and experience; The third is to send people to invite Zhen Guogong, Xu Jingbo, Jia Yuheng and others to meet in Jianghuai other courtyard.It is worth mentioning that after Emperor Shuntian came to power, Hu Wenyong became Minister of the Ministry of Industry and began to take charge of the central department, and his power became more and more important.It's funny to say, because of the fall of King Lu's party, many ministers who had fallen in love with King Lu were purged, and even one of the ministers of the cabinet was appointed, so a large number of positions need someone to fill the vacancies. This secret Huai Wang party member Naturally, they got the advantage, and some of them took advantage of the opportunity to take the stage. Hu Wenyong was one of them who was hit by good luck.

At nightfall, Lin You, Dai Ming, Zhen Guogong Xiao Jian, Minister of Industry Hu Wenyong, Minister of Rites Xu Jingbo, and Deputy Imperial Envoy Jia Yuheng met in the secret room of the Jianghuai courtyard.Lin You first placed a layer of restrictions on the surroundings to prevent the walls from having ears.In this way, all the people sat down in the secret room, and Lin You told everyone about today's discovery.After everyone heard this, all of them were shocked. They didn't expect that King Jian had already been acting secretly.

"These generations of King Jian are not dead, but they have been secretly coveting the throne for so long." After hearing this, Lord Zhen Guo spoke first.

"That's right! The first and second generations of Jian Wang helped Emperor Changhua seize the throne, but now they plan to repeat the old tricks and start walking to the stage." Hu Wenyong nodded and said.

"If the news is reliable, do you want to tell Emperor Shuntian the news?" De Ming said from the side.

"No! We only have the man's one-sided story. We don't even know who the person who is supporting us in the palace is. Without hard evidence, they will definitely deny it completely. At that time, we will be passive. Zhongliang, then Duke Huai is really hard to tell." Jia Yuheng immediately stopped him.

Also, there is no perfect plan and mountainous evidence for this kind of thing, and rashly talking about it will only make you passive, and will not only harm your own people, but also the man in the profound realm.Jia Yuheng's words made sense, everyone fell into silence after listening.

"I have already sent someone to verify the man's identity to see if there are any new discoveries. At the same time, I have informed Duke Huai that he should come to the capital after receiving the news. Then we will discuss a perfect countermeasure. "Lin You suggested.

"I'm afraid that it will be too late. Now Emperor Shuntian's health is not easy to be optimistic. The three ministers of the cabinet are already discussing with the queen in secret. At present, the voice of establishing a king is very high. I heard that the cabinet is discussing with the queen. The result is beneficial to King Jian, and Emperor Shuntian may acquiesce to this result. The situation is urgent, we must take immediate action, and we must disclose this news through unrelated people. The ministers and the empress are afraid. If Emperor Shuntian knows, he will also veto King Jian. In this way, King Jian will naturally not be reconciled, and we will just wait and see the good show." After hearing the proposal, Xiao Jian analyzed the situation again.

"What the Duke said is very true!" Hu Wenyong also expressed his deep agreement here, and continued, "The news must be disclosed, but it cannot be directly reported by our people. We must create rumors from the outside. In this way, I think at least we can Shake the cabinet's determination to support the establishment of the king."

"Well, as long as King Jian feels that he may lose the position of crown prince, he will definitely take action, before the imperial edict to establish the crown prince is issued." Lin You took the words and said solemnly, "I also said earlier They still have internal support, if they don’t guarantee it, they will take risks, or repeat the old tricks, so that we can have a showdown in the name of fighting the king’s treachery.”

In this way, you have made a preliminary action plan with your words.Dai Ming asked someone to compose a jingle for what the mysterious man said, roughly as follows: "During the Shendou period, there were many legends, and the internal battles in the palace were especially fierce. King Jian Jian had a big heart, arranged killers to infiltrate the palace, planned assassinations and framed things. , Poor Xi Bian was taken advantage of, and was played around..."

In order to deceive people, they pretended that it happened during the Shendou period, but in fact, smart people would know what was going on as soon as they heard it.Dai Ming and others found some women and children to spread these words among the public, and then spent a lot of money to find some storytellers in Hangjing to compile the content, and asked them to spread the news quickly. Some restaurants and places frequented by dignitaries are Key occasions for storytellers.

A few days later, rumors that King Jian arranged for assassins to provoke conflicts between the first emperor and King Lu reached the ears of several assistant ministers in the palace and the cabinet.Since Emperor Shuntian was assassinated, his health has been deteriorating, and he is often bedridden. At first, he also thought that King Jian might be the best choice to inherit the great rule, but now, he became suspicious and remembered the clues of the past. simple.There is no queen mother in Emperor Shuntian's palace, and his queen is also worried after hearing the news.

As for the cabinet, the opinions of Wang Mao, the second assistant to King Jian, and Ye Rongtian, the third assistant to King Jian, were in stark contrast.According to Wang Mao's opinion, such rumors are not credible and can be completely ignored. It is very likely that someone deliberately fabricated them to attack King Jian. On the contrary, this proves from the side that King Jian is talented and has aroused the hatred of others.According to Ye Rongtian's statement, it may not be without reason, and the matter must be investigated to find out the truth before it can be concluded.The chief assistant, Yang Siwei, is a neutral faction, and thinks that this is a big matter, and His Majesty needs to be ordered to perform the holy order.In this way, the weak Emperor Shuntian ordered a strict investigation of the source of the rumors on the dragon couch, and at the same time ordered the inner guards to investigate Jianwang secretly.

A few days later, the inner guards found out that King Jian was getting more and more dirty, and reported it to Emperor Shuntian in time.Now, the emperor's attitude towards King Jian completely changed.As for King Jian, he already knew that someone was secretly ruining his good deeds. Although he went to the palace several times to explain to the saint, Emperor Shuntian refused to meet because of his illness.He conspired with his confidants, Xiao Zhou and others, and found that the development of the situation was out of control, and he had to take decisive measures.So, they made a poisonous plan, planning to take advantage of Shuntian's illness and kill him!Afterwards, Xiao Zhou made an imperial edict to support Jianwang.

As for the aftermath, on the military side, King Jian has already recruited the commander of the Habayashi Army, and Nadaichun has secretly joined King Jian for the sake of his future.In terms of reputation, King Jian already has a certain foundation among the nobles of the royal family and the ministers of the court. Rumors are not credible without evidence.As for the big men in the army like Ke Wuxin, they have always been ignorant, and now they remain neutral and do not express their views.

Obviously, they were the operation of Emperor Changhua to replace Xinfeng, and they were almost exactly the same planning methods!
