[I can understand the benefits of the alliance to Prince Cheng, such as taking care of Concubine Liang and allowing her to be taken care of in the palace...]
[But since the Queen Mother was an imposter, she certainly wasn't doing this for her father's sake, to stabilize Prince Cheng and avoid unrest in the court.]
[So what did the Queen Mother get? ]
Based on the information search results, the system replied to Jun Baozhu:
[The information collected is limited and below the minimum amount required for judgment, so an accurate answer cannot be given. 】
[But the system can reveal to you the information that has been collected...]
[For example, there were people from Nanchi discussing matters. Judging from the content of the discussion, the Queen Mother's conditions for an alliance were about Nanchi.]
Jun Baozhu blinked, [Can't find any information about Prince Cheng? ]
After the system denied the answer, Jun Baozhu analyzed:
【Is it related to Nan Chi?】
[I can't detect any information around Prince Cheng, which means the conditions for the alliance cannot be discussed. Instead, it confirms the authenticity of this information...]
[Another point also shows that Prince Cheng is very strict with his subordinates and has a good management system, so not a single word of information leaked out.]
[Ever since Zheng Zhuo was hunted down, Prince Cheng's men are still chasing him, but my father, the crown prince, and my second brother, the second prince, haven't heard a word...]
[It can be seen that the discipline and methods of Prince Cheng's subordinates are strict and terrible. ]
The expressions of the Emperor, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince all became solemn.
Jun Baozhu thought to herself:
[It also shows that the management of Nan Chi Kingdom is not as strict as that of Prince Cheng and the Queen Mother. The people around them are not restrained enough, which is why there are often big leaks and this information is leaked.]
A gleam of light flashed across the second prince's eyes.
The system further analyzed it, and Jun Baozhu thought and savored it.
[If the Queen Mother only wanted to protect herself and prevent the Nan Chi Kingdom from being swallowed up by the Great Phoenix one day...]
[They want to build up power in Dafeng. They have civil officials speaking for them and military generals letting them go. Their motives are understandable...]
[If that's the case, they can just use money and beauty. Is it worth it for a great female doctor to sleep on straw and eat bitter food, and lurk in the tiger's den for more than ten years? ]
[What she did was completely beyond the scope of self-protection, right?]
[Killed the great general, appointed Hong Shui, a despicable villain, and won over a large number of civil officials...]
[If it weren't for General Chen Lang and General Zhao Gang, and their subordinates risking their lives to save them, I'm afraid the east and back sides would have been replaced by them.]
[She was doing it for self-protection, but she was clearly trying to control Dafeng's territory and wanted all of Dafeng! ]
[But if this is the case, I can’t understand what Prince Cheng will get when that day comes.]
[The Great Phoenix is destroyed, and the Nan Chi people can still control the poisonous insects. Can he and Concubine Liang remain unscathed? ]
This short sentence still caused a huge storm in the emperor's heart.
He couldn't believe that even though Prince Cheng was at odds with him, he was actually a prince. Would he really let a wolf into the house and give up his ancestral foundation? !
Jun Baozhu thought of another thing.
[Since Xiangshan has formed an alliance with Nanchi, they must be aware of Nanchi’s ambitions...]
[Dafeng is only adjacent to it. If Dafeng is really annexed by Nanchi, Xiangshan will be surrounded on the northwest. Isn't it afraid? ]
[The Nanchi Kingdom wants to take down Dafeng, so will they let go of Xiangshan Kingdom? ]
[No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense. ]
[Right? The unreasonable part is the key to solving the mystery? ]
[If used well, it is very likely that the current dilemma can be solved? ]
【I think so too.】
After deep thought, the emperor took the time to continue reading out the next names.
The generals in the latter part are older than those in the former part, and most of them have passed away.
Military generals have been in the army for many years and have been training all year round, so most of them have old illnesses. They are stretched thin in the barracks and their health is not obviously declining, but after returning home and being idle, their illnesses flare up quickly.
In addition, they usually die earlier than civil officials because they are depressed or worried.
There are also several people whose entire families were killed to vent their anger when someone came to their house to win them over but failed to win them over…
There are only a dozen people on the list who are still useful and alive.
[What a pity...]
After revealing the last person, Jun Baozhu couldn't help but sigh.
[They are all such good people. If they were still in the military camp, wouldn't there be only so few people left? ]
These words struck the emperor's heart again.
After feeling deep guilt, people become calm.
Because I know how to remedy it.
The emperor immediately returned the list to the prince.
"Next, the prince should know how to arrange it, right?"
The prince bowed and said, "I will draw up a list for your review, Father?"
The emperor waved his hand, "No need, the prince is very thoughtful, I am no longer worried.
After the list was drawn up, he immediately discussed it with the seventh and eighth brothers and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, have them find Imperial Concubine Li and ask her to help prepare some medicine powder for self-defense on the road."
The Crown Prince and Concubine Li nodded at the same time.
Jun Baozhu looked at the prince and then at his mother with her eyes wide open.
[Hmm? Departing? The Seventh and Eighth Princes are leaving Beijing? ]
[Could their departure be related to the list that Father just read out?]
[Are the names above the civil and military officials who have returned home that the emperor intends to re-employ? ]
【Why......】
Knowing that more than half of the people inside were gone, and in such a miserable way, the light in Jun Baozhu's eyes gradually faded:
[If my father knew, he would definitely feel very regretful and blame himself...]
I got angry and cursed in my heart:
[It’s all the Queen Mother’s fault! ]
[No! It's all this fake guy's fault! ]
