King Wu Cheng and King Hui could only look at each other and laugh awkwardly. The matter regarding His Majesty back then was his wound and an unerasable stain in his life.
Although his royal brother also knew that these things were all fake, he had to give his countrymen an answer. There were many people who didn't know the truth, and if they were confused, it was very possible that they would do something that would be harmful to the peace of the Central Plains.
"After all these years, I have slowly begun to think things through, teacher. "I cannot blame you for what happened that year. They had arranged everything too thoroughly, and were completely familiar with the movements of all of us. You were blocked in the academy beforehand, so you were unable to help. I already can't blame you anymore." Madam Qiu stood up and bowed to Old Meng respectfully.
"Do you suspect that we have a traitor?" But back then, we had already separated for a long time, and we didn't have much contact with each other. Who could be so sure that we could be so accurate? " King Wu Cheng frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"The Zhan Clan seems to have declined in many years. That old man was almost in control of the family then, and Liu Changsheng has been targeting the Zhan Clan for so many years. It can be imagined that there are some things that we don't know about." The Madam Qiu revealed her speculations from all these years.
"I have secretly gathered information that the old man of the Zhan Clan who had passed away had frequently come into contact with strangers during that period, and the Zhan Clan had barely managed to preserve the reputation of the four great clans during that period of time. One must know that the Zhan Clan is most adept at scheming. To be able to arrange things in such a flawless manner, I cannot help but determine if the Zhan Clan's old man has caused us some problems. " Madam Qiu intertwined his index finger and restlessly rubbed the long handkerchief in his hand.
"But what good is that? Just for the sake of the reputation of one of the Four Great Army Clans in the void, I cannot believe that old fox would do such a thing. " Old Meng shook his head, he had no opinion on Madam Qiu's conjecture.
"The four great military clans supported each other. During that time, the Shengong's held the power, and His Majesty's right-hand man was the Shengong Family, while the next generation of the Zhan Clan had their layers cut off. Tu Su had joked about it, but if there were no descendants of the army, would they still be called the military? With his scheming personality, I believe that there's definitely a problem with the old man. " Madam Qiu shook her head. She didn't really hope for Old Meng to believe her, but she still wanted to tell her guess.
Furthermore, behind the scenes, the old empress dowager of Zhan Clan might have made her move. Originally, to avoid suspicion, she didn't help her prince's wife, while His Majesty was helped up by the Shengong's.
At that time, the Emperor respected her as his mother, and after that incident, the Emperor used her old age as a reason to send her to a mountain resort outside of Yan Jing City to recuperate. As she was recuperating, until she died, the Emperor did not send her national mourning, nor did he pay her a visit, there was definitely something fishy about this.
However, Madam Qiu did not speak of this matter in public. After all, she was a prince raised in front of the old empress dowager.
The monarch was innocent. If the emperor really did not have a successor, then the King Hui would have a grand ceremony. I believe that Zhan Clan would also be able to regain control over its power!
With his thinking ability, he was naturally able to guess Madam Qiu's intentions, and Old Meng would probably be able to figure it out slowly afterwards. Just by looking at King Hui's appearance, it seemed like he did not know anything.
Unknowingly, he had also thought along the lines of the Madam Qiu, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he became.
But what did it matter? Furthermore, he knew very well that the Emperor was not at fault. From the current relationship, it was very likely that this King Hui would attend the grand ceremony without any descendants from the Emperor Realm. Although his methods were a bit dirty, it had to be said that this was the most effective way for the Zhan Clan to wield power.
