Three months had already passed since Emperor Jingxi announced his intention to appoint a crown prince.
From the lush greenery of summer to the golden ground and the cool autumn breeze today.
However, the crown prince has not yet been established.
The court officials, who were full of passion at the beginning, are now like punching a clock in every day, just making a few perfunctory remarks about who should be made the crown prince.
There were only a few clichés that were repeated over and over again, and Li Guangde had already memorized them by heart.
Every time he heard those clichés that were so familiar, he couldn't help but yawn.
In fact, he was quite sympathetic to the court officials, because no one could understand the true thoughts of Emperor Jingxi better than him.
Their Majesty already had a favorite candidate for the crown prince in mind, but he was worried that this prince would be appointed too early and would harm the other prince, so he put the crown prince position on hold for the time being.
He secretly speculated that their Majesty had even toyed with the idea of establishing a prince to act as a shield to protect the prince he had been thinking about, but he was full of suspicion.
He was afraid that this shield prince would be too powerful and would bring him down and successfully take the throne.
They were also worried that he might die young like the previous emperor, and that this shield prince would become the real prince and the real emperor.
At that time, the prince he admired would only be his one-sided admiration.
Li Guangde couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart.
Look, he didn't spend these decades in the palace in vain. He knows their Majesty's character very well!
"Li Guangde, go make me a cup of tea!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Li Guangde was startled and responded quickly.
Then he immediately dragged his old arms and legs, which were no longer flexible, and ran quickly.
During this period, Yan Cheng discovered that Qu Zhaoyue and Tang Xilu were mixed up for some reason.
To be honest, every time he saw the two of them chatting and laughing, he felt like he had read a pirated novel that he couldn't swallow or spit out.
If the Seventh Prince is the main villain in the novel who survives from beginning to end, then Tang Xilu is the minor villain who only survives half of the plot.
He died the year before Qu Zhaoyue unified the world. It was Qu Zhaoyue who killed him personally.
Because he had always been at odds with Qu Zhaoyue in Daxia, and they were always sarcastic when they met. As soon as the two countries started fighting, Qu Zhaoyue couldn't wait to kill him.
The Emperor of Nanyou was very angry because his younger brother died in Daxia, and there was no possibility of peace talks between the two countries.
As a result, in this new world with him, Qu Zhaoyue and Tangxi Lu became good friends!
Yan Cheng said that he didn't understand, but he was very wary of the two of them, because when they occasionally met, he always felt that the way they looked at him was strange and meaningful.
He felt that the two of them were going to do something big to him.
So he not only mobilized his own people, but also used Qu Zhaoxing's connections for the first time. Two groups of people monitored the two people in all directions to see what they were up to.
After monitoring for a long time and combining the information provided by various parties, Yan Cheng finally figured out what the two men were planning.
To his surprise, the person being plotted against was not him, but Prime Minister Xie, who was second only to the emperor in the court.
Qu Zhaoyue got the inspiration from somewhere and planned to charge Prime Minister Xie with treason and treason.
This plan was conspired by Qu Zhaoyue and Tang Xilu. The enemy who colluded with the enemy must not be Nanyou, but the Hu people in the north.
Yan Cheng was full of questions. Why did they want to target Prime Minister Xie? What benefits would there be from doing so?
He continued to investigate further.
Then, goodness me, this time he really found a traitor, and the enemy that person was traitor to was Nanyou.
The seemingly serious Minister of Works actually had an affair with Tangxi Lu.
The reason why Tangxi Lu spared no effort to target Prime Minister Xie was that the real intention behind it was to push the Minister of Works to the high position of Prime Minister.
This would help him to gradually erode the foundation of Daxia in secret, so as to pave the way for Nanyou to achieve the grand goal of unifying the world in the future.
If Tang Xilu was not the person who had always been at odds with him, Yan Cheng would even sincerely want to applaud him for this ingenious plan.
What Yan Cheng found most incomprehensible was that Qu Zhaoyue, as the prince of Da Xia, actually helped Nanyou's hostage to deal with Da Xia.
Is he afraid that Daxia's inheritance will last too long?
Yan Cheng couldn't help but feel guilty for a moment, but he quickly thought, this shouldn't be caused by me, right?
Then he strengthened himself and thought that Qu Zhaoyue's abnormal thinking was his problem and had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Guangling, hand this letter to your grandfather personally."
When meeting Xie Guangling, Yan Cheng solemnly handed him a letter.
Xie Guangling pinched the letter and felt that it was quite thick. There seemed to be a lot of things written in it, which made him a little curious.
"What's in the letter? Can I know?"
This is the restaurant under Yan Cheng's name. He reserved this room for himself. It is a safe place to talk.
Since Xie Guangling asked, Yan Cheng did not hide it from him.
"Qu Zhaoyue and Tang Xilu are planning to frame Prime Minister Xie for treason. This is something I've found out, and I think Prime Minister Xie needs it."
“…”
Xie Guangling tickled his ears, thinking he had misheard, but he saw Yan Cheng nodding seriously, and several big question marks popped up above his head.
"Conspiring with Tangxi Lu to frame my grandfather... What's Qu Zhaoyue's motive? Haha, he's helping a Nanyou person frame the Daxia people?"
"I don't know about that either. I haven't found out yet. I'll tell you when I find out."
