"Yes, Your Highness, I am really Su Qing!" Su Qing nodded affirmatively, and then knelt down directly: "Please help me, Your Highness!"
"Save you?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue looked at Su Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and a light flashed in his eyes. Now, he was naturally sure that the Su Qing in front of him was real.
But if it's true...
Why did Su Qing appear in Yanjing City
Moreover, at this time, he appeared in Yanjing City by such a coincidence? No matter how you think about it, this is an almost impossible thing.
Mr. Hua looked at Su Qing who was kneeling on the ground and frowned. His eyes were fixed on Su Qing's face, trying to see something from Su Qing's face.
However, the eager expression on Su Qing's face was very real.
Mr. Hua couldn't see through it, but he had a strong feeling that Su Qing's appearance in Yanjing City couldn't be a coincidence.
"Your Highness, Chi Hou wants to see you!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the study.
"Chihou?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's expression was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Su Qing, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it convenient?"
"The Marquis is working for His Highness, so there is nothing inconvenient for Su Qing." Su Qing nodded.
"Okay, please come in!"
"yes!"
…
Pingyang Mansion.
Fang Zhengzheng picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. A smile appeared on his lips. Then he looked at Pingyang again, who looked in disbelief, and shook his head helplessly.
Many things look very complicated from the front, but if you look at them from the other side, they are extremely simple.
"Do you really want to know why Su Qing came to Beijing?" Fang Zhengzheng asked.
"Yes... wait, you want to blackmail me again, right?" Pingyang nodded immediately, but soon, she saw the malicious smile on Fang Zhengzheng's face.
"Then do you want to listen?" Fang Zhengzheng said with an indifferent expression.
"Listen!" Pingyang bit his lip and finally answered.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver."
"good!"
"Well, then you first think of yourself as Su Qing. Think about it, if you were Su Qing, what would you think when you heard that I was still alive?" Fang Zhengzheng heard Pingyang's agreement and asked directly. .
"Of course I will kill you Luo!" Pingyang replied without hesitation.
"How to kill?" Fang Zhengzheng asked rhetorically.
"It's best to find a crime to kill you openly. If that doesn't work, then we can only assassinate you." Pingyang thought for a while and replied again.
"Yes, then do you think that since Su Qing wants to kill me, he will continue to stay in the Northern Desert?" Fang Zhengzheng nodded after hearing this and continued to ask.
"You mean... Su Qing has actually left Beimo a long time ago?!" Pingyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Su Qing is very smart. Since he decided to kill me, he naturally can't stay in the Northern Desert and wait and see, because controlling in the Northern Desert and controlling in Yanjing City are two completely different concepts." Fang Zhengzheng affirmed. .
"So, Su Qing has always been in Yanjing City?"
"I wasn't sure before, but now I am sure that Su Qing should have entered Yanjing City with me." Fang Zhengzheng nodded.
"Isn't he afraid of being charged with leaving his post without permission?"
"Do you think Su Qing really didn't do anything during the more than a year he spent in Bei Mo? Chi Hou left Bei Mo. It's not difficult for Su Qing to do something to hide his identity at this time."
"Well, it makes sense, then... why does he show up at this time again?" Pingyang nodded, and then he wondered again.
"Because he knew that the prince wanted to kill him." Fang Zhengzheng replied.
"Third brother wants to kill Su Qing? Yes, that's right, but what does this have to do with his appearance now?"
"If Su Qing doesn't show up, there are only two consequences. First, the prince sends people to the Northern Desert to kill him. Second, the prince uses an excuse to let him come to Beijing and ambush him on the road! So... he has no choice." Fang Zhengzheng Smile softly.
There has been no way out in the struggle for power since ancient times. Especially Lin Tianrong, who is the prince, how could he put himself in danger for a courtier
For the prince, all courtiers are his tools. No matter how high the status of the courtier is, he still cannot escape such an order.
"You mean Su Qing wants to strike first? But how do you know that he is now in Brother Six's house?" Pingyang seemed to understand after hearing this, but he was still a little confused.
"Because, in his heart, the only person who can save his life now is King Duan!"
"So, he will definitely go to Sixth Brother's house first, right?"
"Yes."
"I understand, but there's one thing I'm still not sure about. Even if you knew that Su Qing was in Yanjing City, how could you be sure that he would choose to show up today?" Pingyang still didn't understand.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Again?" Pingyang's little mouth pouted slightly.
"Then do you want to give it to me?" Fang Zhengzheng spread his hands, poured another cup of tea, and added a little more to Yan Xiu's tea cup next to him.
"Here, I will smash you to death with silver coins!" Pingyang said in a hateful voice.
"Haha, come and smash me to death. In fact, this matter is very simple, because Su Qing said it himself!" Fang Zhengzheng smiled indifferently.
"He said it himself?!"
"Yes, Su Qing sent someone to notify Wen Chuan, and also sent a letter to the Crown Prince and Prince Duan under the guise of Wen Chuan."
"What is the purpose?"
"There is a strategy called confusing the real with the fake, and Su Qing's strategy is to mix the real with the fake. If he wants to survive, he must make the prince think that he is fake. Then, the best way is to actively tell the prince that he has come to Beijing. , only in this way will the prince become suspicious and send people to the Northern Desert to investigate, and he will also be able to gain time."
"This Su Qing is really smart! Then... what are you going to do?" Pingyang subconsciously praised Fang Zhengyi after hearing this, and then looked at Fang Zhengyi expectantly.
"Use the trick!" Fang Zhengzheng did not show off this time, but answered directly.
…
Prince Duan's Mansion, in the study.
Su Qing had stood up from the ground, but did not sit down. Instead, he still stood respectfully in the study, facing Prince Duan Lin Xinjue, Mr. Hua, and Chi Hou.
Duan Wang Lin Xinjue did not speak, and Mr. Hua also did not speak.
Chi Hou sat on the chair, tapping the back of the chair with his fingers, frowning slightly, and his tiger eyes never left Su Qing's face.
"Master Hou, do you have any questions?" Su Qing asked respectfully after waiting for a moment.
"No more." Chi Hou shook his head.
In fact, after entering the study, he had almost confirmed Su Qing's identity. After listening to Su Qing's details of Beimo's affairs this year, he naturally had no doubts anymore.
"It is truly a blessing from heaven that Su Qing can work with Mr. Hou!"
"No need to talk nonsense. I know better than anyone else what you have done in the Northern Desert over the past year. However, you want to pin the real crime of the Southern Territory case on the crown prince's head just based on your words. , I'm afraid it's unlikely, right?" Chi Hou had no intention of talking nonsense with Su Qing.
"If Su Qing says it's okay, does Mr. Hou not believe it?" Su Qing smiled softly at the corner of his mouth.
"Of course I don't believe it. The prince has a deep foundation in the court. Although the left prime minister is now in prison, and the three ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of War cannot protect themselves, he is still the prince and the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as the emperor is willing to If there is any partiality, the crown prince's position will remain stable!" Chihou affirmed.
"What Mr. Hou said is right, but there are never absolutes in the world. Mr. Hou also said it just now. As long as the Holy One is partial, the crown prince's position will remain stable. In other words, what if the Holy One is no longer partial?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Su Qing has a plan that will allow His Majesty to depose the Crown Prince immediately. Moreover, it will also allow His Highness to take control of the court immediately after the Crown Prince is deposed. There will be no chance of his status being shaken again!" Su Qing said confidently.
"Abolish the crown prince? Or immediately?" When Chihou heard this, he obviously didn't believe it.
Although there are precedents for abolishing princes in all dynasties, after all, for a dynasty, abolishing a prince can be said to be a top priority.
and…
The most important thing is, judging from the performance of the Holy One today.
His heart is still open to the side of the prince, so it means that the Holy Emperor still has high hopes for the prince, so how can he immediately depose the prince
Chi Hou didn't believe it.
In fact, not only did he not believe it, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue and Mr. Hua also had some disbelief when they heard Su Qing's words.
"Su Qing, you know that I don't like to listen to lies, and under the current situation, I don't have any need to take risks." Prince Duan Lin Xinjue said.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that there is no risk involved in this plan." After hearing what Prince Duan Lin Xinjue said, Su Qing nodded slightly and said with a serious face.
"Master Su really has a way to depose the prince without taking risks?" Mr. Hua also spoke at this time, with obvious disbelief on his face.
"Yes." Su Qing nodded again.
"Then please ask Mr. Su for advice!" Mr. Hua frowned slightly. He has always claimed to be noble, but he has always been just a counselor.
More than two years ago, although Su Qing had gained the trust of King Duan, in terms of status, he was still only a fourth-rank courtier in the court.
At that time, Mr. Hua didn't think highly of Su Qing.
But…
More than a year ago, after Su Qing returned from the Southern Territory, he suddenly transformed from a fourth-grade courtier to a high official in the border area, supervising the five mansions in the Northern Desert.
How does this not make him jealous
But now, Su Qing stepped into Prince Duan's Mansion and spoke again, saying that he could depose the prince in a short time without taking any risks.
How could he believe it
(After doing some calculations, I have received two rewards of 10,000 coins, totaling 20,000 coins, so I will update more! I am not sure about the time. It will probably be one before 12 o'clock and one after 12 o'clock. Chapter!) (To be continued.)
