Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 841 Narration 2.0

"The first emperor? Plan?"

Hearing Yang Haocai's words, several people in the room showed surprised expressions. They didn't know what plans the late emperor and the eldest prince had.

"The eldest prince has accomplished quite a lot in Xijing!" Jin Jing quickly recovered, and raised an eyebrow at Yang Haocai, "Is this also one of your plans?"

"It's like this. It was discussed before departure." Yang Haocai nodded slightly, "The purpose of the eldest prince to come to Xijing as a hostage is to take refuge, and the second is to ask the late emperor for help. It is absolutely impossible to defeat Wanyan Ping with one's own strength, and when necessary, one needs to rely on Daxia's force."

"If I remember correctly, at that time, more than half of Jin Kingdom's military power was in the hands of Wanyan Zongcheng's lineage, right?"

"To be precise, it is in the hands of Wan Yanping. Speaking of it, I am very ashamed. We have too many civil servants here, and our military strength is much worse. Wan Yanping 11 years old fought the entire Jin army, There are almost no opponents, but we..." Yang Hao shook his head lightly, "Those who can fight will go together, and we will not be able to pass fifty moves in front of Wan Yanping."

"Then you are indeed..." Xia Jiu squinted and looked at Yang Haocai contemptuously, "Too weak."

"The eldest prince doesn't seem to have led soldiers much, has he?" Jin Jing looked at Xue Ruitian, "In my impression, there were only two times, right?"

"Well, both times ended in a big defeat." Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Yang Haocai, "The eldest prince knows that if he uses force, there is absolutely no chance of winning against Wan Yanping, so he ran to Xijing for help. Then you know how they made the agreement?"

"I'm not very clear about the specifics, but I know that Master Xue and his wife are the media for transmitting news. The two parties must communicate and report Wanyanping's movements in a timely manner." Yang Hao sighed, "Also, the eldest prince is in Xijing. At that time, he had met Mr. Xue several times, and he already knew about the marriage contract. Compared with himself, he felt that Mr. Hou was a good match, and he was happy for the two of them. So..." He looked at Xue Ruitian , "There is no such thing as entanglement or jealousy. What you know, see, and hear are all falsehoods. A lot of news is deliberately released by them. Well, I'm talking about the old Hou Ye couple. And the eldest prince, moreover, they all reported to the late emperor and the old King Jin."

"It's all... on purpose?"

"Yes." Yang Haocai nodded, "Their plan seems to be huge, with a lot of people involved, the layout is also very meticulous, and not only one set was designed, but I know of three sets, and it is said that this is not all. Seeing the puzzled expressions of the children in front of him, he sighed, "I asked the eldest prince why it was so troublesome, and he said that Wanyan Ping is not the only one they have to deal with. There are also people, but the other party has concealed it very well and it is difficult to catch the tail, so they set up this trap."

"Already knew it at that time?"

"It's just a guess. I've seen a few suspicious-looking people around Wanyanping, but I'm not sure." Yang Hao just looked at Xue Ruitian, "I thought that this kind of thing can be solved in our generation, so we won't let you I got involved, but I didn't expect that there was an accident in the middle, which turned into the current situation and implicated you." He glanced at Hongye thoughtfully, and then turned his eyes on Xue Ruitian, "It's not just the big Xia and Jin have that mysterious person, and so does Liao, they have big appetites and even bigger ambitions."

Xue Ruitian didn't speak, but just sneered. Now that the so-called mysterious man has shown his face, probably the late emperor and the eldest prince never thought that there is another hand behind the mysterious man.

"Wan Yanping acted early because someone helped her, but at that time, you were already by her side, didn't you notice?"

"What kind of person is she? You should be very clear about what kind of person she is. She is suspicious by nature. Don't say that someone like me who blatantly betrayed the Grand Prince's Mansion will arouse her suspicion. I grew up with her. Maids, guards, whatever they do that doesn't suit her will be her focus. Therefore, in the first year when I first came to Wanyan Ping's side, I didn't have much contact with them at all. She had already dealt with it in secret. As for Wanyan Tongshu, he came in after the eldest prince passed away. Moreover, he is a general, and he won [-] consecutive victories at once, so he was basically regarded by Wanyan Ping. If it is a treasure, it is impossible to arouse suspicion."

"It seems that the eldest prince has made a long-term plan for you to lie in wait for Wanyanping. When you successfully sneak into Wanyanping's side, you can deliver valuable news."

"That's what I thought at the time. I wanted to use me to find clues to that mysterious person, and then catch that mysterious person and destroy them completely. This way, Da Xia, Jin, and even Liao will be safe in the years to come. An unknown person threatened." Yang Haocai shook his head and said regretfully, "But...the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and I don't know which step went wrong, which led them to act first."

"Then you have been lurking by Wanyanping's side for so many years, and gradually became her confidant, have you not found anything?"

"I found out that the person who helped Wanyanping back then was surnamed Teng. Wanyanping respectfully called her Mrs. Teng, and she had some blood relationship with Wanyanping's mother, so he helped her and gave her a lot of advice. The prince's mansion had an eyeliner arranged by Wan Yanping. The eldest prince frequently traveled between Yiqing mansion and Jiaping Guancheng, which aroused their suspicion, so he passed the news to Wan Yanping. Wan Yanping heard about the eldest prince from the little prince. The story with Mrs. Xue Hou completely aroused her rage, aroused her latent mania and paranoia, and finally led to that tragedy."

"Didn't the staff around her persuade her to act cautiously before this tragedy happened?"

"At that time, the person she trusted was arranged by Mrs. Teng. Her every move and decision were approved by those people, and even contributed to the flames. I have heard their conversation with my own ears. Wanyan Ping I'm still a little hesitant about this, after all, I'm not sure how many innocent people will be implicated, but those people said..."

"say what?"

"Anyway, they are going to hell anyway, so why don't you take these people with you? Why don't you let them suffer with you?"
