The emperor's question was actually the doubt of the people present.
Yuwen Xuhong shrank his pupils, opened his mouth, and then said, "Two years ago!"
"Two years ago?" The emperor wondered.
Others frowned at the answer.
"When exactly?" the emperor asked sharply.
"Two years ago, during the five-nation exchange meeting!" Yuwen Xuhong said through gritted teeth.
"During the five-nation exchange meeting, Zhou Anping brought Xiao Jingrui directly to my emperor's grandson's mansion!" Yuwen Xuhong explained, "At the time, I was also taken aback. I wanted to refuse to cooperate with them, but they threatened them first. Me, if I don't cooperate with them, then they will go to the grandfather and the princes and ministers to expose me, saying that I murdered the prince, traded with the enemy country, betrayed the country. On the contrary, if we continue to cooperate with them, then they can help me Reach that position. As long as I sit in that position, no one can decide my fate. On the contrary, I can decide the fate of anyone!"
This is the biggest temptation!
As soon as Yuwen Xuhong's voice fell, the entire imperial study was extremely quiet!
Power often makes people grow their ambitions and desires.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the emperor Yuwen Longyan never expected Yuwen Xuhong's ambition.
He recognized it wholeheartedly, and giving him freedom was giving him the best thing possible.
The emperor sighed heavily, and said a little dejectedly, "It's my fault! I didn't educate you well!"
He glanced at the prince, then at Yuwen Xuhong, and then said, "I thought you also like freedom! So, I thought of grievance Yuer. Yuer is a honest and kind person. After he ascended the throne, he I won't kill my own brothers!"
Hearing the emperor say this, the prince opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed like he wanted to ask something, but the words swirled in his throat and he didn't say it.
Yuwen Xuhong asked sharply, not understanding, "Since you have already made a decision, Grandpa Huang, why did you give me hope? Let me think that I have this opportunity. Between me, the prince, the uncle, the third emperor, the three When they were fighting for power, they didn't come out to stop them? Why is this?"
When asked this question, the emperor couldn't help trembling in his heart.
Because this is the cruelest place for a person born as a royal.
Before any prince can become a qualified monarch, he must go through rigorous training.
This kind of training has to pay a heavy price.
It's not his life, it's the opponent's life!
Although Yuwen Yanyan is an elder and the grandfather of Yuwen Xuhong, he is also the monarch of a country.
He is the king first, and the elder second!
Now that the heir has been chosen, for the sake of the Longyan Dynasty and the Yuwen family, he must train the heir to become a qualified king!
This training venue is naturally above the intriguing palace and the **** court.
The person who fought against him was also the prince and grandson of the royal family who had a certain family power.
After an evaluation, he will choose the eldest grandson of the emperor who is also related to the prince and has the wrong family power, and the three princes of Zhou Guifei, the powerful family power.
After his intentional or unintentional actions, the three forces reached a balance in the court.
This made the third prince Yuwen Feiye and the emperor Sun Yuwen Xuhong see hope and inflated their ambitions.
But the emperor never imagined that the two people who were trained to train the prince, one poisoned him and suddenly forced the palace, and the other colluded with foreign enemies and led wolves into the room!
well!
The emperor secretly sighed in his heart!
He said, "It's my fault, it's my fault!"
Lin Yuelan guessed the emperor's intentions, but disagreed in her heart.
Because feelings are the most untested and untested.
The emperor gave them hope, which naturally increased their ambitions and inflated their desires, so they became more and more eager to get them.
The result is this ending.
Of course, she also understands the emperor's approach.
After all, to cultivate a qualified king, one must make sacrifices, so he regarded Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong as chess pieces for Yuwen Yanyu's sparring.
Perhaps this is the cruelty of the Royal!
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Eunuch Zhang called out worriedly, "Your Majesty!"
He stepped forward to help the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I'm fine!"
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Yuwen Xuhong instantly understood the emperor's intentions.
Immediately, he said with a wry smile, "So it is, so it is!"
The heir in Grandpa Huang's mind has always been the prince and uncle, and to give them hope, he just wants them to practice with the prince and uncle.
Yuwen Xuhong felt sad.
This may also be the sorrow of the royals.
But he was still very resentful and angry.
He complained, "Since you wanted to give me freedom from the beginning, why did you give me hope, let me see hope, and ended up in despair again, Grandpa Huang, woo woo..."
So far, the emperor has been unable to answer.
The original intention was to let Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong accompany the prince to experience training. The prince's generous temperament, after he ascends the throne, will definitely not kill all the brothers, and even treat these brothers and nephews well.
Before he passed away, he must have ordered the prince to return Yuwen Xuhong to freedom.
However……
Yuwen Xuhong's whole body was completely paralyzed, and he felt a sense of powerlessness. He sneered at himself, "Haha, if I had known this earlier, why would I take the risk and do so many wrong things!"
There is resentment, resentment, unwillingness in this tone, but also grievance, sadness and bitterness!
Hearing what Yuwen Xuhong said, everyone fell silent.
Right or wrong, at this moment, it is impossible to judge.
However, whether it is right or wrong, Yuwen Xuhong has made a huge mistake that cannot be undone and cannot be forgiven.
The prince was shocked today!
In other words, the emperor is unpredictable!
What happened today completely subverted his understanding of the emperor.
In the past, he thought that the royal father was because he liked his mother, so he named him the crown prince.
Later, he slowly began to notice that the third prince began to fight for power and profit, using the favor of his mother-in-law and the strength of the mother family behind him, to constantly provoke him as a prince, and even had a tendency to replace it.
If he hadn't killed himself and suddenly forced the palace to do such a rebellious thing to his father, perhaps, his position as a prince might not be guaranteed.
Because Yuwen Feiye had done a good job in investigating the case before that, and won over some courtiers, and even under the hint of the Zhou family, there was a faint way of abolishing him as the prince and establishing Yuwen Feiye as the prince.
However, they were suppressed by the emperor.
After that, he failed to force the palace and ended up miserably.
It was only now that he understood that he was designated as the heir by his father early in the morning, and in order to train him to become a qualified successor, he did not hesitate to use his own son and his own grandson.
His heart was very shocked, and at the same time, there was also a sense of grief in his heart.
This is the sadness of being a royal!
If he is not recognized as the heir, then, as the son of the queen, is he, like them, a **** in the father's hands?
The answer to this assumption, he didn't have to look for it, he knew that it was affirmative.
"So, at the five-nation exchange meeting, you have already reached some kind of cooperation?" Lin Yuelan said with certainty, "When Xiao Jingyu married into the emperor's grandson's mansion, was it one of the conditions for your cooperation?"
Yuwen Xuhong nodded and said, "Yes! Xiao Jingyu married into the emperor's eldest grandson's mansion, firstly, to monitor me, and secondly, there is an excuse for better communication between cooperation and transmission of information!"
"So, after I rejected Xiao Jingrui's proposal, they chose you purposefully." Lin Yuelan asked sharply.
"Yes!" Yuwen Xuhong did not deny it.
"Bastard!" Upon hearing this, the emperor was furious again.
He hadn't thought at all that there was such a conspiracy behind the fake princess Xiao Jingyu's marriage to the eldest grandson's mansion.
"Then did you know that Xiao Jingyu was fake?" Lin Yuelan asked again.
"I don't know!" Yuwen Xuhong shook his head and said, "I only knew it was fake when you exposed the identity of the fake Xiao Jingyu!"
Lin Yuelan nodded. She glanced at the Crown Princess, then looked at Yuwen Xuhong, and asked sharply again, "Then, when did the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson start working together?"
As soon as Lin Yuelan's voice fell, the expressions of several present couldn't help but change, but the purpose of this change was different.
"Three months ago!" At this point, Yuwen Xuhong had nothing to hide.
Besides, if Lin Yuelan can ask such a question, it means that she already has relevant evidence, so he still confesses!
When the prince heard the cooperation between the prince concubine Ye Yao and the emperor Sun Yuwen Xuhong, his pupils shrank violently, his eyes were full of disbelief, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and the blue veins were straight and bulging, as if he wanted to jump out at any time, you can see. The monstrous anger he suppressed.
At this moment, he couldn't let it out.
Out of the corner of Lin Yuelan's eyes, she glanced at the expression on the prince's face, but did not say a word.
"How did you cooperate?" She asked the Crown Princess.
When Crown Princess Ye Yao heard their conversation, her mind was stunned again, and she was completely dizzy.
But because she took Lin Yuelan's pills, she couldn't faint at all.
When Lin Yuelan pointed directly at her, her heart was even more flustered. people
It's just that when she met Lin Yuelan's eyes, the panic in her heart calmed down.
She said, "I...I didn't know at first, father...he is a spy of Long Yanguo."
Of course he was referring to Zhou Anping.
"I was abandoned by him since I was a child, and I fell out with the real daughter of Ye's house. Although I enjoyed the treatment of a daughter in Ye's house, my parents treated me very well. But since he came to Ye's house, he secretly told me that I was him. When I was my own daughter, my heart was full of bad taste, and there was always a sour taste of being abandoned. Moreover, this person never gave me a good look, and I felt even more uncomfortable. For this reason, I knew that my life experience would come up. , My existence seems to be to get a little love from him. He asked me to marry the prince, I listened, and did not hesitate to give up my lover for this."
The Crown Princess said calmly while weeping, "In the past twenty years, he has not asked me to do anything other than telling me that I must marry the Crown Prince. Until three months ago, Xiao Jingyu's identity was exposed, and it seemed that It is revealed that the eldest grandson is here."
Hearing what the Crown Princess said, Lin Yuelan frowned slightly, and then said, "Prince Princess, if I remember correctly. When you first exposed Xiao Jingyu, it was you who came forward to file a lawsuit, saying that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, right? If so, how did your cooperation continue?"
After being reminded by Lin Yuelan, other people also remembered the situation at that time, and they all frowned slightly, obviously not understanding.
If they were in a cooperative relationship, why would Ye Yao sue Yuwen Xuhong for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? Wouldn't they turn their backs on the spot?
After all, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a big crime to annihilate the nine clans!
The Crown Princess closed her eyes, then opened her eyes and said, "At the time, I didn't know that the eldest grandson had cooperated with them. The task I received was to expose the crime of the eldest grandson's treason to the enemy in the Golden Palace."
Hearing what the Crown Princess said, everyone looked at Yuwen Xuhong again.
Yuwen Xuhong also nodded and said, "That's right. At that time, I didn't know that the Crown Princess was also with them, but it was indeed ordered by Zhou Anping to expose me."
"Why is this?" Since it is cooperation, it is based on interests.
But the crown princess exposed the crime of betraying the country by the emperor's eldest grandson, which is obviously the rhythm of turning his face.
Yuwen Xuhong said angrily, "The purpose of what they did is to force me to turn back!"
Because the Crown Princess accused him of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, whether it was true or false, the Emperor would definitely have someone investigate it.
It's fine if it's just fake, but it's a fact.
As long as he is disobedient, those people will submit evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
The crown princess said, "I don't know what their purpose is. The task I received is to sue the emperor's eldest grandson for betraying the country at the Golden Palace!"
She really didn't know what kind of cooperation they had.
"So, that's what you did?" Lin Yuelan asked with a sneer, "Are you really stupid or fake?"
Crown Princess, "..."
"No!" But Lin Yuelan reacted quickly, her eyes were sharp, and she asked sharply, "You must have other purposes for doing this. Say, what is your purpose? Or, what is your real mission? What is it?"
Hearing Lin Yuelan's serious question, the others were dumbfounded.
The Crown Princess breathed for a while, her pupils shrank, her hands were clenched tightly, and then she slowly let go.
She never thought that Lin Yuelan would be so keen.
"Haha, what mission?" Before she could respond to Lin Yuelan, Zhou Anping laughed wildly, "The mission I gave her is to kill this dog emperor first!"
"You...you are presumptuous!" Eunuch Zhang was very angry when he heard Zhou Anping's words.
But when others heard Zhou Anping's words, they were all shocked and even more incredible!
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the princess.
The princess was silent, but it just proved that Zhou Anping's words were true.
Yuwen Xuhong only now realized the sinister intentions of these people, he turned his head, looked at Zhou Anping angrily, and shouted unacceptably, "So, you are not really supporting me, your real purpose is my emperor. Grandpa, isn't it?"
Zhou Anping heard Yuwen Xuhong's roar, his pale face showed disdain and said, "Hmph, why do you think we are targeting you? Because you are stupid enough! You can be used by us!"
Yuwen Xuhong's face was ashen with anger, he stood up angrily, punched Zhou Anping with a fist, and cursed, "You bastard!"
Zhou Anping had just lost his hands, lost a lot of blood, and he didn't have much energy. He was beaten by Yuwen Xuhong and fell to the ground immediately.
"Enough!" the emperor shouted immediately, staring at Zhou Anping with sharp eyes, and said, "Your goal is me. Then, Yuwen Xuhong may become the puppet emperor in your hands, right?"
Zhou Anping sneered twice with a pale face and did not respond, but the answer was obvious.
"After Yuwen Xuhong became your puppet emperor, you invaded my Longyan Dynasty, it was a simple matter, right!" The emperor then asked sharply.
"That's right!" Zhou Anping said with a sneer.
After Yuwen Xuhong listened, his whole body collapsed again.
"Since your target is Zhen, then why are you targeting Princess Gu, again and again, to frame her?" the emperor asked with faint anger.
Zhou Anping sneered, "Hehe, of course, it's because of her existence that hinders our big plans. With her here, we want to occupy the Longyan Dynasty, just like an extra barrier, it's extremely difficult!"
As soon as Zhou Anping said it, the people present instantly understood.
Lin Yuelan's contribution to Longyan Kingdom is obvious to all.
The national economy is booming, the country is prosperous and the army is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is getting stronger and stronger.
Another, the couple relationship between Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan is the God of War of the Longyan Kingdom, and protects the safety of the Longyan Dynasty. With him, other countries would not dare to come here.
Therefore, in order to attack the Longyan Dynasty, the obstacle of Lin Yuelan must be removed first.
As long as something happened to Lin Yuelan, then Jiang Zhennan must be in chaos, then they can take the opportunity to enter.
Of course, this entry was not an attack on Longyan Kingdom, but the sudden death of the emperor, and Yuwen Xuhong was enthroned.
As long as Yuwen Xuhong ascended the throne and made an agreement with them, then even if Jiang Zhennan recovered, he could still be charged with a crime.
Without Lin Yuelan, without Jiang Zhennan, without the crown prince, and without the old emperor, this Longyan Kingdom dynasty is equivalent to a mess of sand, plus Yuwen Xuhong, as long as the wind blows from Wuyun Kingdom, you can easily take down Longyan dynasty.
After Yuwen Xuhong knew the true purpose of Wuyunguo, the fear in his heart continued to increase, followed by fear and tension.
At this moment, he really realized what Zhou Anping meant by "he's stupid".
It turned out that he was really bringing the wolf into the room.
At the same time, he was very happy.
Fortunately, these conspiracies and tricks were all exposed by the little woman Lin Yuelan, which made their wolf ambitions impossible to achieve.
At the same time, he understands even more why the people of Wuyun Kingdom first planned to frame Lin Yuelan, a woman who looked like a weak woman.
