In the capital city of Wu State, the Zhengyang Palace is brightly lit.

A group of eunuchs were coming in and out, washing away the blood on the ground and repairing the broken doors and windows.

The monarch of Wu Kingdom, Nanchuan, was standing in the palace with a gloomy expression, quietly looking at the mess on the ground.

It was early in the morning, and he was reviewing memorials just now. He was tired from many days of hard work, so he went to the side hall to take a nap.

Before leaving, Nanchuan ordered his ministers to organize and classify the memorials and wait for him to return to continue reviewing them.

But what he never expected was that not long after he lay down, he heard the deafening sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of the main hall.

Although the guards in the palace reacted very quickly and quickly captured the group of assassins.

But Nanchuan stayed in the main hall, and the ministers who were preparing the memorial were killed by the explosion without any body parts.

When Nanchuan, under heavy protection, witnessed the tragic scene in the palace with his own eyes, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

He never thought that an assassin could break into the palace...

If it weren't for a coincidence, I'm afraid he would have lost his life last night.

"Your Majesty."

A man in gray clothes came over in a hurry and reported in a low voice: "These are all dead soldiers. They were all dead before they were taken to prison."

Nanchuan was shocked and came to his senses, and became furious: "What? A bunch of trash."

"Your Majesty, forgive me."

The man in gray lowered his head and whispered: "Although the person is dead, I still found some clues."

Nanchuan asked impatiently: "What clue?"

The man in gray said: "According to the investigation of the humble position, these people have low cultivation and hold palace cards, so they can sneak into the palace."

"After they entered the palace, they went straight to the direction of Zhengyang Palace. They seemed to know that the Holy Emperor was here, and they didn't even turn around on the way."

Nanchuan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"This has been planned for a long time."

The man in gray said loudly: "Your Majesty, I ordered someone to check and found that the palace card is genuine. It is the eunuch who just entered the palace three months ago."

"Coupled with the fact that they committed suicide after being caught, these guys are all dead soldiers, and ordinary people will not train dead soldiers."

"It can be seen that this assassination was by no means a temporary act, but someone was planning it behind the scenes, and it was probably... one of our own."

Nanchuan's eyes narrowed and he asked calmly: "How can you see it?"

The man in gray gave the reason without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the biggest doubt is actually the weapons they used."

"According to my investigation, this batch of arms was imported from Xiyun Mansion. After identification by the craftsmen, it was found that they are all the latest models."

"One of the 'Burmese Type 3' shoulder-mounted individual rocket launchers was just released two months ago, and the first batch we ordered just arrived the day before yesterday."

"You mean..."

Nanchuan's face turned pale, and there were blue veins popping out on his forehead.

"Two possibilities."

The man in gray said solemnly: "Either the enemy secretly placed the order, I have already sent someone to check, and Xiyun Mansion will give a reply soon."

"Either it is that the arms used by the enemy were taken from the shipment just delivered the day before yesterday. If so, it will be easier to investigate."

Nanchuan said calmly: "You just said you are one of your own, does that mean you are leaning towards the second type?"

"That's right."

"reason."

The man in gray said: "Xiyun Mansion's arms order has several specifications. If the quantity is too small, they will not deliver it to your door."

"Even if it is delivered to your door, it will land at a regular airport and unload the goods. The customer needs to send someone to pick up the goods."

"And Your Majesty should know that places like ports and airports are taken over by the imperial court. If the other party places an order, they will never be able to hide it from us."

"That makes sense."

Nanchuan squinted at Zhengyang Palace and nodded noncommittally, not knowing what he was thinking.

The man in gray organized his words and continued: "Compared with the former, the latter is easier to operate."

"They only need to secretly get some weapons through some connections, and then return them after using them, and they will basically not be discovered."

"you……"

Nanchuan opened his mouth to ask.

But before he could say anything, the man in gray said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, after I thought of this, I have already sent someone over to check."

"very good."

Nanchuan glanced at the distance and waved his hand to signal him to retreat: "I give you enough power. You must let me investigate the whole matter and get to the bottom of it."

"According to the decree."

The man in gray followed his eyes and saw Nanyu coming in a hurry, so he excused himself and left.

Nanyu got out of the car and ran over with an anxious look on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"

"Almost."

Nanchuan shook his head and sighed with lingering fear.

"call……"

Nan Yu looked him up and down, and said with a relieved smile: "It's okay, it's okay. It really scared me to death. I thought...the ancestors bless you, the ancestors bless you."

Nanchuan looked into the distance, roughly recounted the situation just now, and finally asked: "Sister, what do you think of this matter?"

After hearing this, Nan Yu's expression changed again and again.

After a while, she hesitated and said: "If what the Holy One said is true, then I doubt..."

"What do you suspect?" Nanchuan turned his head and met her eyes.

Looking at each other, the two of them saw a hint of understanding on each other's faces.

"well."

Nan Yu sighed softly: "You threw out such a tempting bait, which caused fierce internal strife among the court officials. As the pillar of support, he must have seen through your mind."

Nanchuan nodded and said: "The safest way is to create an accident to get rid of me, and then establish a new emperor."

As Nanyun of the Hong Kingdom sent an envoy, he successfully reached an agreement with the Xiyun Mansion and sent scholars to learn advanced technology...

Nansheng of Zheng State and Nanchuan of Wu State also followed suit and sent people to learn the science and technology of Xiyun Prefecture.

Nan Sheng's side was fine, because Emperor Wu left him two cards: Internal Guard and Zhenfu Division, and there were no established bureaucratic families holding him back.

Therefore, everything he did was much easier and he encountered no resistance.

But here in Nanchuan...

His situation is similar to that of Nanyun. The only difference is that Nayun is disgusted by the Bachelor Pavilion, while Nanchuan is disgusted by the Prime Minister Sect.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After being inspired by Sisi, Nanyun decided to use this matter to cause internal strife in the Bachelor's Pavilion, and then watch the fire from the other side, waiting for the opportunity to reap the benefits.

(Let these ministers send their heirs or capable generals to Xiyun Mansion to study. Whoever learns well will gain control of the arsenal.)

(Using the control of the arsenal as bait to induce these bureaucrats to split and engage in internal strife, ultimately causing both sides to lose.)

After Nanchuan saw Nanyun's actions, he quickly noticed the clues and prepared to use this matter to get rid of the Prime Minister's faction.

This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy!!

"That's right."

Nan Yu pondered and nodded: "If something happens to the Holy One, then the source of their internal strife will no longer exist."

"With the power of Wei Tao and others, they can easily overpower the new emperor. By then, everything in the entire country will be at their fingertips."

"Coupled with Wei Tao's influence, as long as the interests are distributed fairly, no one will object, and the Prime Minister's faction will not be divided."

Nanchuan exhaled the turbid air from his chest and couldn't help but sneer: "This old fox is worthy of being an old minister... His attacks are really vicious."

At this moment, he was almost certain that the murderer behind this was Wei Tao!

The reason is just like Nan Yu said, there is basically no discrepancy, and there is nothing unreasonable.

The context is clear, the logic is smooth, the thinking is thorough, and there are no problems!

Just at this moment, the man in gray who had just left rushed over again.

"Your Majesty."

The man in gray clasped his fists and said: "According to the comparison with the list, the warehouse is indeed missing some weapons, which matches the number of weapons in the hands of the assassin."

"Moreover, I interrogated the guard in my humble position, and he confessed that... half an hour before the incident, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion came secretly..."
