Upon meeting Feng Guche, Feng Mozhan immediately presented the items to him.
"Father, I have been investigating the case of the Prince of Libei from back then, and now I have made some progress. This is the newly collected evidence, and I hope that Father will take a look."
After listening, Feng Guche raised his eyebrows and then took the items that Feng Mozhan handed over.
Feng Guche first opened a letter and read it carefully.
At first, Feng Guche's face was expressionless, but after reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but gasp.
Prior to this, I had also received letters regarding the case of the Prince of Libei.
On the occasion of the Empress Dowager's birthday, someone slipped the contents of the correspondence between the King of Libei and the enemy state to the Empress Dowager.
At that time, in front of all the civil and military officials, the Empress Dowager wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, and I couldn't refuse.
At that very moment, Prime Minister Shen and Lord Mu took the lead in kneeling down, followed by the unanimous statement from all the civil and military officials.
These people actually want me to thoroughly investigate the case from back then; they're incredibly audacious!
Feng Guche had his own opinions about this, so he left before the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration was over.
Since his own civil and military officials are not of one mind with him, let them celebrate on their own!
Despite his anger, Feng Guche remembered the letter from that time very clearly.
The letters were unsigned, but everyone knew that the content of the correspondence was related to rebellion.
Now that Feng Mo Ran has gathered some more information, Feng Gu Che is naturally excited.
After reading the letter, Feng Guche looked at Feng Mozhan with a suspicious expression.
"Is this matter really related to Prime Minister Shen?"
Feng Mo Ran clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Father, the evidence in this matter is fragmented and inconsistent. Prime Minister Shen is inextricably linked to the Prince of Libei, and he is the mastermind!"
Feng Guche frowned slightly, lowered his head in thought, and was somewhat puzzled by Feng Mozhan's words.
If this matter is really related to Prime Minister Shen, then why would Prime Minister Shen do this?
What was his motive?
Just then, Feng Mo Ran suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I believe that if the Prince of Libei were still alive, he would have been Prime Minister Shen's rival. Therefore, in order to eliminate his rivals, Prime Minister Shen resorted to underhanded tactics and took this opportunity to get rid of the Prince of Libei!"
Feng Guche did not speak.
Feng Guche understood the matter of the King of Libei better than anyone else.
To put it more bluntly, what he meant by "treason" was that he was worried that one day the military power in the hands of the King of Libei would no longer be under his control.
The phenomenon of someone's achievements overshadowing their superior has occurred more than once in history, especially for generals who hold military power and need to be carefully guarded against.
Whether the King of Libei colluded with the enemy or betrayed his country is a matter that no one else needs to say; in fact, everyone is just waiting for the outcome from their own side.
If I suppress the matter, the case of the Prince of Libei will remain unresolved. As long as I don't bring it up, I believe those minor civil and military officials won't say anything.
The key to this matter lies with Prime Minister Shen and Lord Mu.
As long as the two of them don't cause trouble, everyone else is easy to talk to.
The Emperor suddenly felt somewhat conflicted about whether Prime Minister Shen had been involved in the matter of the Prince of Libei.
After thinking it over carefully, Feng Guche revealed a sinister smile.
