The layout is clear
After repeating King Ning's words to everyone present, Liu Buqi and Yue Lingxi looked at each other. From the man's eyes, she already knew the answer!
What Prince Ning said is very likely to be true!
Liu Buqi has fully reviewed the behavior of the prince and the emperor after Yue Lingxi returned to Beijing!
When Yue Lingxi first appeared that day, the emperor, for the first time before the grand court, went to the side hall to see him! Afterwards, the incident of prohibiting Yue Lingxi from being crowned king occurred.
Then, the prince fought hard to have Yue Lingxi crowned king. It seemed that he was trying hard to defend his right to supervise the country, but in fact he was secretly trying to disrupt the situation in Youzhou!
If Liu Buqi had not suddenly returned to Youzhou, and Gao Yi had not unexpectedly become completely devoted to Yue Lingxi, it would be hard to say whether Youzhou would still be in his hands.
At that time, Liu Buqi was somewhat puzzled by the fact that the two imperial envoys came from the Crown Prince and the Emperor respectively. However, after returning to Beijing, he immediately encountered that Prince Ning was summoned to Beijing by the Emperor. The Crown Prince showed an attitude of fighting to the death, so he did not investigate the matter any further!
Afterwards, the prince pushed Yue Lingxi to the front. At that time, both he and Yue Lingxi felt as if the prince was forcing them to do something while he himself was the one who benefited the most!
Combining all of this with Prince Ning's words, we can infer that when the emperor saw Yue Lingxi, he must have discovered that he was somewhat similar to the late emperor!
Yue Beiqiu was able to find out that the previous emperor had a decree of succession, so the emperor who lived in the palace for a long time must also know about it!
Therefore, when the court rejected Yue Lingxi's title of king, the prince was probably still unaware of it at that time, so his reaction was extremely intense!
After the grand court session, the prince chased Yue Hua into the back hall. It was probably at that time that the two of them coordinated and made a plan to strangle Yue Lingxi!
After all, the two had cooperated in sending imperial envoys to disrupt the situation in Youzhou at the same time as Yue Lingxi came to Beijing. It should be easy for them to reach a consensus on suppressing Yue Lingxi, a potential threat to orthodoxy!
Afterwards, Liu Buqi disrupted their plan, and Youzhou became too powerful to suppress, which led to the incident of Prince Ning entering the capital. His purpose was to let the two "cancers" of Youzhou and Jingzhou kill each other, preferably to make both sides suffer losses!
When the prince was assassinated, Gongsun Wuhui, who had exposed his identity twice, should have been discovered by the emperor who had access to all the information about the palace offerings.
After all, martial arts routines are difficult to hide. There was once information that the court priest was good at fast swordsmanship, and his skills were similar to Gongsun Wuhui's. These can be easily verified!
That's why Gongsun Wuhui's whereabouts were discovered in a short period of time. After all, it's difficult to find a masked assassin, but it would be much easier to find a world-famous female beauty!
Later, during searches in the East and West Cities, Yue Lingxi entered the blockade area several times, and no trace of Wuhui Jianji's existence was found afterwards. It was obvious that the assassin's disappearance was most likely related to Yue Lingxi!
His appearance is similar to that of the late emperor, and he was the heir of the former court. The two things together are enough to make people imagine a lot, not to mention the hatred of killing his father and taking his son away!
The reason why they have not taken action yet is to wait for the big court to launch an attack!
Everyone present felt that Liu Buqi and Yue Lingxi's ideas were reasonable, but as to why King Ning took the risk of revealing this news to them, everyone made various speculations, but they still couldn't figure it out!
Lu Ren still showed his old age as a treasure. "Everyone, I always say that if you ask for something, you will get what you want. In fact, the opposite is also true. If you want something, you will get what you want!"
"Prince Ning revealed the news to us. What should be our first reaction after receiving it?"
Bai Qiangwei had already answered, "It's to let Lingxi leave the capital, because attending tomorrow's court meeting is meaningless!"
Lu Ren nodded. "For now, leaving the capital and not getting involved in what happens next is indeed the best option for us."
"So, if we consider withdrawing from the capital as what Prince Ning needs us to do, then what is he asking for?"
Liu Buqi had already understood Lu Ren's thoughts. "He wants to turn the situation around. Not only are the Crown Prince and the Emperor plotting against him, he is also plotting against the Emperor and the Crown Prince!"
"Now that he controls the two gates of the capital, he can ensure a steady flow of Jingzhou troops into the city! He's planning to strangle the Crown Prince's power and then use the Emperor as a coercion to control the other princes!"
Yue Lingxi interjected, "The Crown Prince and His Majesty's plan is very clear. The only variable is us! Prince Ning doesn't know what our trump card is, so he wants me to leave the capital! He wants to prevent this trump card from being revealed!"
Liu Buqi nodded, "Yes, not to mention our trump cards inside and outside the city, Gongsun Wuhui and Zhan Zhige alone are enough to kill generals and seize flags in the street fighting in the capital, causing countless variables!"
Now that we know the purpose of Prince Ning, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor, the next question is naturally how to act.
Lu Ren and Bai Qiangwei both advocated that Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi should quickly evacuate the capital. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be plenty of opportunities to make a comeback in the future!
Wang Sheng, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly raised his head and then lowered it again, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yue Lingxi smiled and asked, "Wang Sheng, if you have any ideas, just speak up!"
Wang Sheng was the biggest discovery and surprise during this trip to the capital. He was able to command 500 people to sneak into the capital in an orderly manner and has not been discovered so far. The ability of this commander can be imagined. If he is used well, he may become a rising star in Youzhou in the future!
Wang Sheng said nervously, "Prince Ning wants us to leave, which just proves why we need to stay. As the saying goes, we can take advantage of opportunities. With our five hundred cavalrymen, who are ten times stronger than us, we might be able to reap unexpected rewards!"
Lü Ren scolded him from the side: "How dare you lure our lord into danger!"
Wang Sheng quickly knelt on one knee to apologize to Yue Lingxi, but before he could kneel down, he was steadily pulled up by Marquis Anguo!
"Uncle, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Wang Sheng and I agree. We can't return empty-handed from this trip to the capital!"
Lu Ren and Bai Qiangwei both looked at Liu Buqi. At this moment, only she could dissuade Yue Lingxi.
"What do you think, if Prince Ning leads an army from outside the city to attack the palace, what are the chances of success?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yue Lingxi burst into laughter. His "female Zhuge Liang" was already thinking about how to get something out of the fire!
Prince Ning held the two gates tightly in his hands. It didn't take too long for him to enter the capital from Zhennan Gate and head straight to Xuanwu Gate to enter the palace. Even if the other six gates controlled by Tiance Mansion were fully prepared and sent out to intercept, it would definitely be too late!
Lu Ren was a little confused. In this situation, how could the emperor and the prince plan to stop Prince Ning?
