To be honest, this was definitely not the original plan.
There are really too many coincidences in such an operation, and people who make plans hate coincidences the most.
If Wang Zuo had submitted this plan to Lin Hai, then the mace would probably be stuck in Wang Zuo's place of reincarnation and unable to get out.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
When the prince did this weird thing, Xie Zhihui knew that the original plan of adding some concentrated "Ten Whips Tonic Soup" into the prince's wine would have to be completely scrapped.
After all, if you can't get over the current situation, let alone drinking, it's good enough if you don't become enemies.
Although the original plan included turning Zhang Yuan against the Crown Prince, this was a second-best option. For politicians, no matter how much they were driven apart, as long as they shared common interests, even if they harbored hatred for someone who had murdered their father or stolen their wife, they could form an alliance. Therefore, turning against each other was an option only after all other plans had failed.
Given the reality that King Xia exhales more than he inhales, a more radical approach is more in line with the current situation.
As an ace operator who had undergone dual training in the Eagle Control Guard and the Intelligence Department, Xie Zhihui immediately discovered what she needed to do.
The prince must die tonight.
It would be best if I could die at the wedding banquet.
It would be best if Zhang Yuan could kill him "personally" in front of everyone.
So when everyone was frantically trying to pull them apart, they saw a shocking scene.
The prince was lying on the ground in a swastika shape, his eyes rolled up, and the corners of his mouth twitching as if he wanted to say something.
A dagger was stuck squarely in the prince's left chest, almost completely inserted. Even someone without medical knowledge would know that the prince was beyond saving.
And then further up, well, that's a hand holding a dagger.
As expected, the hand grew on the body of Lord Zhang Yuan, the Imperial Censor, the next Minister of the Chancellery, the groom of this wedding, and the owner of this mansion.
If there is a technique to reattach severed limbs, I believe Lord Zhang would want to cut off his arm and reattach it to someone else's body at this time.
It’s a pity that medicine has not developed to this point.
No screaming or panic.
The people who came were all dignitaries. Even if they had not seen them with their own eyes, they were familiar with things like coups and palace coups.
There are only three situations now.
Or Zhang Yuan was framed.
Then Zhang Yuan was doomed. After all, the prince had died in his house, with the dagger in his hand. In this case, the guests would be safe, at least for now. After all, those who framed him needed witnesses.
Either Zhang Yuan killed someone out of anger.
Then Zhang Yuan was doomed. There was no need to explain this. While the crown prince was human, and could be easily killed with the right methods, that didn't mean he was easily exonerated. In this case, the guests were also safe. After all, Zhang Yuan hadn't prepared in advance, and there was no need to kill so many high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom.
Or Zhang Yuan wanted to rebel.
Then Zhang Yuan was doomed. Of course, that wasn't certain. What if he actually succeeded? In that case, the guests would be in great danger. At least it was expected that officials who weren't directly under Zhang Yuan would be purged.
But since they are ready to rebel, your panicked yelling will not help, and you may even be treated as the chicken offering sacrifices to the monkey, so you still need to listen quietly to what Zhang Yuan says.
If Zhang Yuan's plan is feasible, then it wouldn't hurt to temporarily join one...at least to survive tonight.
Just as Zhang Yun was stunned and everyone was confused, no one expected that the first person to speak was Xie Zhihui.
All I can say is that Lord Zhang married a virtuous wife. His decisiveness in making decisions on the spot exceeded that of most people present.
Xie Zhihui took advantage of everyone's stunned silence and pushed Zhang Yuan to the main seat originally reserved for the prince. Then she pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the prince's chest. Not caring that there was still a lot of blood spurting on his face, she turned around and stabbed, and just brought the dagger close to the neck of the woman named Wan'er.
Xie Zhihui didn't even look at Wei Ming Wan'er's big eyes of disbelief, but generally speaking, Wei Ming Wan'er was indeed a beauty after her veil fell off, it was a pity that no one paid attention to this anymore.
Because the situation was so tense, even if someone wanted to take advantage of the situation, they would probably be embarrassed to bring it up at this time.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan supported himself on the table with both hands as if he wanted to stand up and say something. Xie Zhihui quickly went over to help Zhang Yuan up, and poked him hard on the waist with her hand. Zhang Yuan, who had gathered some strength to speak, could no longer open his mouth for a moment.
Xie Zhihui put her ear to Zhang Yuan's mouth and only vaguely heard Zhang Yuan say: "You did it, you are a spy..."
Xie Zhihui nodded as she listened, then pushed Zhang Yuan back into his chair and shouted toward the door, "The master said, act now! Long live the Daliang Empire!"
There was an uproar.
In the blink of an eye, many people thought of countless versions of the story, but they never imagined that Zhang Yuan, who was deeply trusted by the king and the prince, was actually a spy from Liang State.
But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. After all, although Zhang Yuan's entire family was killed, the murderer was the Liang State garrison commander. Although it was in full view of the public, who knows the identities of those people? It's not just Zhang Yuan who said they were his family.
Besides, so what even if they are really family?
Even in history books from the past thousand years, there are many cases where entire families were killed to serve as spies.
Holy shit, this is big news.
