344: The train of thought went astray and the inside defender was exposed(1/2)
"Inside……"
The eldest prince frowned slightly, wanting to inquire about the details of this inner guard.
Looking at his expression, Nan Yu couldn't help laughing: "Are you shocked? Are you surprised? Haha..."
"Brother, brother, I really don't know what to say to you. You don't even know about this kind of thing, and you still want to sit in that position?"
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes with anger on his face: "Old Qi, you are still so sharp-tongued even though you have fallen into this situation."
"Brother."
Nan Yu stood up, leaning on the table, and walked towards the room with slumped shoulders: "I'll give you a piece of advice, be careful...Father."
The eldest prince frowned: "Father? Why..."
Unfortunately, Nan Yu didn't want to say anything else, so he waved his hand behind his back and closed the door with a creak.
"call……"
He leaned against the door and let out a breath, then slowly slid down.
In fact, after waking up from the coma, he has been reflecting...recalling everything that happened during this period, in detail.
At first, he thought the whole thing was done by Zuo Chongming.
Assuming that the murderer is Zuo Chongming, then everything has a reasonable explanation.
Moreover, from the time when Wei Wen was killed, Zuo Chongming came to Beijing, to visit the Prime Minister... and even to the final escorting of Tianhu, there was trace of Zuo Chongming.
However, the special identities of Zuo Zonghe and Hu Mei, as well as Emperor Wu's actions of setting them up as targets, made Nan Yu waver in his speculation.
If, if everything was driven by Emperor Wu behind the scenes, it seems...it makes sense.
It can even be said that Emperor Wu was the murderer behind the scenes, which is more reasonable than Zuo Chongming being the murderer behind the scenes.
(From Nanyu’s personal perspective.)
Everything started from Emperor Wu's secret decree.
It is assumed that Emperor Wu had long known that Hu Mei was an undercover agent placed by the Qingqiu Fox Clan as an internal guard.
Then, he communicated with his former commander Chen Xingzu in advance, and the two acted in a play and handed over the task to Hu Mei.
So, as an undercover agent, Hu Mei has finally climbed to this level, and she will definitely not be willing to die. She will definitely find the Qingqiu Fox Clan...
In this way, in order to ensure the success of the mission, Qingqiu will definitely send experts to help.
At that time, Emperor Wu will be able to use the Qingqiu Fox Clan's sword to get rid of Zuo Chongming, his close friend, without any effort...
But Emperor Wu didn't expect that Qingqiu Fox Clan and Nan Yu were secret allies.
When Nan Yu learned about this, he immediately thought of Wei Tao.
Because Wei Wen was made a fool by Zuo Chongming, Wei Tao hated him, so Nan Yu found Wei Tao, and the two made an assassination plan.
This series of changes not only surprised Emperor Wu, but also made him feel happy.
Prime Minister Wei Tao was an old minister with deep-rooted connections and influence. When Emperor Wu was young, he thought about disbanding the government and even took action, but unfortunately it ended in failure.
Now, after finally seeing this opportunity, how could Emperor Wu give up?
Therefore, Emperor Wu took advantage of changes and turned the strategy of killing people with a borrowed sword into a strategy of killing two birds with one stone.
Next, Emperor Wu only had to send someone to inform Zuo Chongming of the news, so that he would be on guard and take advantage of his plan...
Naturally, the assassination plan failed and Hu Mei and the Seven-tailed Sky Fox were captured. With Zuo Chongming's methods, there were many ways to get them to confess.
Then, it is normal for him to know that the murderer is not the Liansheng Sect, but Nan Yu and Wei Tao.
During this process, Emperor Wu arranged for someone to kill Wei Wen and put the blame on Zuo Chongming, making it impossible to resolve the hatred between the two parties.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Wu issued an edict to recall Zuo Chongming from Xiyun Mansion and tried to convict him.
In order to save his life, Zuo Chongming will definitely expose Wei Tao and Nan Yu. Because demons are involved, so... the prime minister must be overthrown!
Afterwards, Emperor Wu could have beaten Zuo Chongming to the end and completely destroyed him on the grounds that "although there was a reason for the incident, the blame cannot be evaded".
In the end, the whole thing will end perfectly with the Prime Minister overthrown, the factions falling apart, and the champion being deposed.
Emperor Wu only lost one son and got rid of two serious worries. This was a huge profit.
After all, he has many sons, doesn't he?
"pity……"
A look gradually appeared in Nan Yu's eyes: "Father, you have tried your best, and something went wrong after all."
In the script written by Emperor Wu, the biggest variable and turning point is not Nan Yu's joining, but Zuo Chongming's actions after entering Beijing.
The story of Nan Yuyan’s poisoning turned out to be fake!!
This caused Emperor Wu to lose his greatest and most adequate position of accountability, and naturally the next drama would not go on.
After Zuo Chongming left the palace, he visited the Prime Minister's Mansion, which caused the complete collapse of Emperor Wu's plan.
He reached a cooperation with Wei Tao, set a trap for Nan Yu to get into, and after preparing everything, suddenly launched an attack at the court meeting.
In front of Emperor Wu, and taking advantage of the princes' vigilance towards Nan Yu, they beat Nan Yu to death with a stick...
On the surface, it was Nan Yu who they beat to death.
In fact, they slapped Emperor Wu in the face.
"The champion, Zuo Chongming."
Nan Yu lowered his head and murmured: "I finally understand that my father once appreciated you so much, but now he treats you like a tiger or a wolf."
To be honest, he doesn't hate Zuo Chongming or Wei Tao now...
Because the real culprit behind the scenes was his biological father, and Zuo Chongming and his two men were just seeking revenge on Emperor Wu, we can only say that he hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Father..."
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust..."
"I still have a chance."
"Last chance."
"There is no hope for the crown prince, but the throne... is still open to question."
"Brother, the bait has been given to you, will you bite it?"
——
——
At the same time, the eldest prince returned to the mansion and was deep in thought.
Nan Yu's specious words gave him a big impact, especially the last sentence about "Beware of Father."
Da~!
The old man put down his tea cup and asked softly: "Is your trip not going well, Your Highness?"
The eldest prince woke up from his deep thoughts and looked at his staff: "It's not that it's not going well, it's just that... I can't explain clearly."
Silently organizing his words, he slowly said what Nanchuan had just said.
Finally, he asked: "Teacher, what do you think the meaning of my seventh brother's words is?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old man pondered for a moment and said: "Colluding with demons and murdering the prime minister's son, these two things are basically certain."
"So the best outcome for His Highness the Seventh Prince is to save his life. In this case, there is no need for him to lie. He must have discovered something."
Having said this, the old man frowned: "As for the existence of the inner guards, I have also heard some vague and inaccurate information."
The eldest prince looked shocked: "Does the inner guard really exist?"
The old man pondered and said: "It should not be a lie, the Holy Lord may really have such a power in his hands."
"Should? Maybe?"
The eldest prince frowned, he was not satisfied with such ambiguous words.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious."
The old man didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "If we go by what His Highness Seventh Prince said, then this incident is not as simple as it seems."
"From the surface, it may be a game between Wei Tao and Zuo Chongming to deal with His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
"But secretly, it should be Wei Tao and Zuo Chongming who are confronting Emperor Wu in a game of chess. Your Majesty, the Seventh Highness, you and the courtiers are all just pawns."
The eldest prince's face darkened: "My Lord... am I also a chess piece?"
The old man said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be a coincidence that you found the wreckage of the flying boat and noticed the residual aura of the Sky Fox Demon."
The eldest prince argued: "However, our palace initially wanted to deal with Zuo Chongming in order to win over the prime minister. We did not expect that it would involve the seventh brother."
The old man replied calmly: "So, we have become each other's pawns without knowing it."
The eldest prince thought deeply and said: "Listening to the tone of my seventh brother's words, he hates my father even more than Zuo Chongming and Wei Tao. He doesn't even care much about our palace's actions that add insult to injury."
The old man said firmly: "As a very important chess piece in this game, His Majesty Seventh Prince must know more. He must have understood something belatedly."
