Duguqing's steadiness and self-control made Xiao Xu, whose eyes were higher than the top, couldn't help but look at him with admiration. He couldn't help but think of his friend. It seemed that his road to chasing people was still long, and he deserved it.
Xiao Xu did not answer her question, but turned to the thoughtful person beside him.
"Qianyan, if you are King Kun, with a heavy army in your hand, and you have been secretly spreading rumors that the prince can't wait for His Majesty to tell him that he will kill you, what would you do at the banquet?"
Chu Qingyan didn't expect the big ice cube to call her name suddenly, but she still pondered, Shang Guo's information, she had read it on the carriage, and she still remembers it fresh, "According to what we know. Knowing that, King Kun is short-sighted, treacherous, and lacks intelligence. He is not a person who is easy to get along with. However, the reason why he has reached this position after so many years is that he has been raising troops privately but is not known. Relying on a thinker by his side, Xu Liu."
"Xu Liu, who is daring and aggressive, is a strong opponent. Every time he makes a comprehensive plan, he is also adventurous, so I think he may make King Kun attack the prince at the banquet. The officials of his own faction framed the prince and abolished the prince in the name of revenge for Emperor Shang. King Kun has an army of 100,000 people, and he has no fear. After all, at this time, apart from the 30,000 generals guarding the city and the palace guards, the Crown Prince has no other support."
Because Queen Shang is also Empress Chen, her maiden's family is the Chen family of the general's house of the town. They have been defending the country for generations. Since ancient times, in order to balance the harem and the government, and strictly prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the emperor will take some measures. , but this Chen family has been an official for generations, and is also worried about the high power and the master. The next one, their family has a queen, and in order not to embarrass the queen, it is also because of the fear of the Chen family, so Duguqing's grandfather When he married his daughter to Emperor Shang, he wrote a letter and asked his family to move to the border to help guard the border. Of course, Emperor Shang Guo agreed. Although he believed that his subjects were one thing, it was hard to predict the sea water. Therefore, Emperor Shang Guo had a lot of trust in Empress Chen.
However, the Chen family are all on the border, and although there are people from the Chen family in the court, they don't have many troops on hand, let alone the army of King Kun.
The reason why Chu Qingyan had this speculation was because according to the news from Xiao Lieqi, the army under King Kun was frequently mobilized, and there was a tendency for them to come from the imperial capital of the Shang Kingdom.
"Will King Kun be so daring? Even if he can force the palace, even if the third emperor's younger brother ascends the throne in the future, it will not be right." After Duguqing heard Chu Qingyan's words, she was full of disbelief.
Chu Qingyan shook her head, "If they have built up enough public opinion, the only ones who will be at fault are you. They can use any name to condemn you, whether it's murdering the king and seizing the throne, or colluding with other countries. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that’s how it is.”
Duguqing leaned on the back of the chair in a daze, "That's right, even the father, the emperor, and the younger brother have murdered, what else can't these people do."
Chu Qingyan can understand her thoughts. Since childhood, she has no worries about food and clothing. How can she know that people's hearts are sinister.
But now she has this consciousness because of the pursuit and killing that Big Ice has encountered along the way. If it was someone else, it would be justified, but even his father, the emperor, did not let him go, which simply subverted her three views. I can't imagine the person who ordered the murder of his own son, what was his heart made of, iron stone
"Sister Dugu, in fact, don't worry too much. All this is just my guess. Maybe nothing happened." Seeing her shocked expression, Chu Qingyan couldn't help comforting her.
Duguqing shook her head, she smiled bitterly, "Hearing what you said, and considering all the signs of the recent court, I seem to be able to feel a little bit of signs. Recently, King Kun's attitude towards me in the court is getting worse and worse. , I'm afraid it's because the New Year is coming."
Chu Qingyan was silent, she didn't know how to comfort her again at this time.
"Qingyan is right, King Kun will definitely do it at the banquet." Xiao Xu spoke concisely and made a direct conclusion.
"That's when you said you were going to kill them at the banquet. We don't have the strength to compete with the 100,000 army, and we are in a weak position. What should we do?" Although we have already figured out King Kun's deployment. , but Chu Qingyan still couldn't imagine how to reverse this situation.
"Take the way of the other person and treat the person's body." Xiao Xu's eyes flashed, and he said to the two.
Duguqing guessed somewhat vaguely, "Could it be that you want to reverse public opinion? Then what?"
"That's right, since he can rumor that the prince has a bad heart, then you can also send someone to stir up the public opinion, and set the fire on him and the fourth prince. What should you do, you don't need to spend more time with this prince." Xiao Xu nodded slightly. .
Chu Qingyan replied, "In this way, if you want to take down King Kun at the banquet, there will be a reason. What about the fourth prince?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xu glanced at Duguqing, "Is it difficult to convict someone?"
Duguqing opened her eyes instantly after realizing it, her eyes filled with admiration for Xiao Xu, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all, the Fourth Emperor has done many illegal things in secret for so many years, just take out one of them, you can do it. Bring him down."
Whether it's dominating a good family, raising a male pet in the palace, taking bribes, or embezzling money from the treasury, just take out one of these and it's enough for him to drink a pot.
Chu Qingyan understood as soon as she heard it, the meaning of the big ice cubes is that no matter whether the two people will be at the banquet or not, they will be preemptive. The charges are all ready-made, and there is no evidence that they can be fabricated, although this method is very bloody. It is also very simple and rude, but this is also the most effective and direct way at present.
"But I'm still worried about the 100,000 generals in King Kun's hands. If King Kun is irritated, what will he do if he rushes into the imperial capital? Those who are injured are innocent people." Duguqing was worried.
Xiao Xu said indifferently, "Catch the thief first and capture the king. If the backbone is gone, these people will be without a leader. As long as you are optimistic about the Third Prince and King Kun, everything else can be solved easily."
After speaking, he asked Duguqing to take out the city defense map of the imperial capital, and then instructed her how to arrange for people to stand guard, so that the entire imperial capital could form a protective circle, so as to achieve the effect of being impregnable, preventing someone from jumping over the wall and launching an attack first.
Chu Qingyan put her hands on the table and looked at the large ice cubes dotted on the city defense map, she couldn't help but be fascinated.
New Year's Eve is coming, isn't the big ice cube going to show her how real it is
Looking forward to it!
