Chapter 489 Public Information
Shen Qingqian couldn't figure it out, but Sheng Ze spoke.
"He wants legitimacy."
Hearing this, Shen Qingqian was stunned.
There is also such an operation
But if you think about it carefully, in today's context, there are indeed some people who would do anything for their beliefs.
But Shen Qingqian was still a little unsure. She looked at Sheng Ze and asked, "Are you sure he just wants to be justified?"
Sheng Ze nodded, "Yes."
Since the founding of the country, the Zhao Wang family has always been a follower of the Sheng family. For more than two hundred years, the Zhao Wang Mansion has never revealed any ambition.
But precisely because of this, the Sheng family members on the throne were always suspicious. Over the years, successive emperors had been constantly testing them, and the Prince Zhao's Mansion had withstood the Sheng family's tests every time.
When Sheng Ze first heard the news of Prince Zhao's rebellion, he felt it was a little unreal. Later, when he had that dream and Prince Zhao let him go so easily, he finally understood.
It turns out that the Zhao Wang lineage has been lying dormant all these years, just waiting for a legitimate opportunity.
From a broad perspective, no one could see the intention of the Prince of Zhao's Mansion, but if you look into it in detail, you will find that every time the court sent officials to the Prince of Zhao's fiefdom, after a period of time, they would be transferred for one reason or another, or die of illness.
The transfer order was issued by the imperial court, and death from illness was an irresistible natural factor, so under normal circumstances no one would investigate.
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but looking back, all the important figures sent by the court ended up like this, which makes people suspicious.
Sheng Ze briefly stated his speculation, and Shen Qingqian's expression became a little indescribable.
Therefore, the bottom line is that the Sheng family has been sitting on the throne for too long, and they are not aware enough of the dangers in times of peace.
Of course, it is also possible that the person placed in the court by King Zhao holds a high position and can influence the emperor's decision-making. In that case, this result is very normal.
"Let's not talk about this for now. If you go to see King Zhao, aren't you afraid that your identity will be exposed? What about General Liang?" Shen Qingqian frowned, looking conflicted and heavy-hearted.
If Shengze's identity was known by the one sitting on the throne, the entire Hubei Northern Army would probably be suspected, and it would be even more difficult for the Shen family to get rid of their status as exiles.
Hearing her talk about this issue, Sheng Ze looked into the distance in silence.
He knew the consequences as early as when he made the decision, but he did not regret it.
With Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng around, there will be no problem with the situation in northern Hubei.
In the dream, the Hubei Northern Army died tragically, but Sheng Zhan didn't care about their life or death at all and never provided any assistance to them.
In the current situation, I don't know how Sheng Zhan will react.
At the end of the first month of the first year of Yufeng, the army of Prince Zhao suddenly retreated during a fierce battle with the army of northern Hubei. Three days later, Prince Zhao announced that the former crown prince was still alive and temporarily retired to northern Hubei. The retired Confucian scholar Qi Hongjun personally wrote an edict to denounce Emperor Yufeng for his illegitimate access to the throne. When the edict spread, the world was in an uproar.
In the imperial study, Emperor Yufeng Sheng Zhan threw the proclamation in his hand to the ground and said angrily, "Well, what a good King Zhao!"
Didn't he know whether Sheng Ze was dead or not? He saw Sheng Ze's body with his own eyes that day, and then announced to the public that the prince had passed away!
Now that King Zhao has been unable to capture northern Hubei after a long siege, he has resorted to such a vicious scheme!
In Sheng Zhan's opinion, the King of Zhao released the news that Sheng Ze was alive just to sow discord between the imperial court and the Hubei-Northern Army, making him suspicious of Liang Cheng so that the Hubei-Northern Army would become disillusioned with the imperial court as soon as possible.
At the same time, King Zhao's army had already deployed troops at the junction of Linzhou and Yuzhou, ready to attack at any time.
This clearly tells the world: Because the former crown prince is in northern Hubei, the Zhao army will no longer attack northern Hubei, but will help the former crown prince regain his throne!
