Gu Tingyuan felt his heartbeat quicken and couldn't help wondering.
"But Your Majesty, the King of the Western Regions has never had any dealings with the Xie family. How could Prime Minister Xie take such a big risk to assassinate the King of the Western Regions?"
Chu Hong raised a cold smile, "Minister Gu, do you still remember Xie Yunzheng, the second son of the Xie family, who was exiled to the border for occupying the people's land?"
Gu Tingyuan nodded, "Of course, this Second Young Master Xie is the brother of Prime Minister Xie. It was only because Prime Minister Xie betrayed the Xie family and then killed his own brother for the sake of justice that Second Young Master Xie was also implicated and framed by the Third Branch of the Xie family, eventually leading to his exile."
"But what does this matter have to do with Second Young Master Xie?" Gu Tingyuan asked puzzledly.
Chu Hong sneered and played with the jade ring in his hand: "What if this Second Master Xie was not exiled, but went to the border camp?"
Gu Tingyuan was stunned!
Then, Chu Hong told him another piece of news that shocked him.
"My people have learned that three months ago, this Second Master Xie used the alias 'Chen Chi' and joined the frontier vanguard army. During one operation, he raided a Western Region merchant caravan and personally killed Amur's nephew, the young prince of the Western Region, Tuoba Ye."
Gu Tingyuan took a breath of cold air!
"this……"
He knew the style of the people in the Western Regions too well - blood debt must be repaid with blood.
If Amur knew the truth, he would probably draw his sword on the spot.
"If this King of the Western Regions was still a man, what do you think he would do when facing the murderer who killed his own nephew?"
Gu Tingyuan couldn't help but imagine such a scene in his mind.
Needless to say, it must be a Shura scene.
Thinking of this, even Gu Tingyuan had to admire Chu Hong's foresight and ruthless strategy.
"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan!"
Since Xie Yunqi privately arranged for Xie Yunzheng to change his appearance and enter the military camp, it shows that he cares about his younger brother very much in his heart.
This time, by using Xie Yunzheng to stir up the old grudge between the Xie family and the King of the Western Regions, he could not only contain Xie Yunqi, but also take the opportunity to negotiate cooperation with the King of the Western Regions.
If he could gain the support of the King of the Western Regions, he might be able to resolve King Rui's situation in the court without bloodshed.
"But..." Gu Tingyuan raised his doubts, "What if Xie Yunqi took precautions in advance and found out that we were interfering?"
"So what?" Chu Hong looked confident.
"Chen Chi killed more than one Westerner in the border military camp. If the Westerner King could see these battle reports at the banquet..."
Gu Tingyuan suddenly realized, "When the Western Region King is furious, Prime Minister Xie will definitely be at loggerheads to protect his brother, and Your Majesty can just mediate..."
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, illuminating the dark night sky and shining on Chu Hong's face full of calculations.
He walked to the window, looking at the outline of the palace blurred by the rain, and murmured:
"The Western Region Iron Cavalry is brave and valiant. If I can use them, not only Xie Yunqi, but the entire court will have to look at my face."
At this moment, Gu Tingyuan seemed to suddenly think of something, "Your Majesty, if Chen Chi refuses to show up..."
"He will come." Chu Hong was confident and spoke in a firm tone.
Because Xie Yunzheng has a sweetheart who is about to get married...
——
At the same time, in the Qin Imperial Palace.
After more than a month, Pei Yuan finally arrived at the Qin Imperial Palace. After returning to the court, the Qin Emperor was indeed very pleased and immediately restored his status as the eldest grandson of the emperor, granted him a mansion and some servants, and allowed him to participate in politics.
This news spread throughout the entire Qin Dynasty like wings, and many people realized that the situation in the Qin Dynasty was about to change.
As we all know, the Emperor of Qin had three sons. The eldest son, Qin Chu, who was the late crown prince, was knowledgeable and talented, both civil and military, but unfortunately he died young, leaving only Pei Yuan as his posthumous son.
The second prince Qin Xuan and the third prince Qin Chuan, both born to concubines, have been fighting for the throne for many years, and are evenly matched, but both are mediocre and unworthy of great use. The Emperor Qin does not intend to pass the throne to them.
Therefore, as soon as Pei Yuan returned to the court, the Qin Emperor placed high hopes on him.
But for Qin Xuan and Qin Chuan, this is equivalent to having an additional powerful enemy.
Therefore, Qin Xuan and Qin Chuan, who had been at loggerheads for many years, had sent people to intercept Pei Yuan several times along the way, but he avoided them every time and he finally arrived safely.
The Emperor of Qin admired this character and wisdom. In order to help Pei Yuan gain the support of the court officials as soon as possible, the Emperor of Qin thought about arranging a marriage for Pei Yuan first.
On that day, the Qin court was in turmoil.
Before the second prince Qin Xuan officially went to court, he sneered at Pei Yuan: "My nephew has been wandering outside for many years. Now that he is back in the court, are you used to it?"
The implication is that Pei Yuan's background is unclear and he is not worthy of inheriting the throne.
Pei Yuan smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle. Although my nephew has been living abroad, he has learned some skills, which is just right for me to serve the Qin Dynasty."
At this time, the third prince Qin Chuan came forward and echoed in a sarcastic tone: "I heard that when the emperor's nephew was in Da Chu, he met the legitimate princess of Da Chu for many years and they were very close. Is this true?"
The court officials immediately began to whisper.
Everyone has heard that the Emperor of Great Chu intends to train their princess to be his heir.
This time Qin Chuan deliberately brought it up in the court because he wanted Pei Yuan to express his opinion.
It depends on whether you choose the country or the beauty.
Pei Yuan raised his eyes to look at Qin Chuan, his gaze calm but with a hint of sharpness: "Third uncle is well-informed, but he may not understand everything."
"This time in the court, the emperor's uncle did not care about state affairs, but focused on his personal affairs - does he think he does not understand the country as well as his nephew?"
Qin Chuan's face froze, and he was about to explode when he heard the eunuch shouting:
