The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1194 Daxing Royal Family
"This assassin, I know a thing or two. Master Gu also knows that my fiefdom is close to the border. Compared with Master Gu who stays in the capital and knows nothing about border affairs, this king naturally knows more than Master Gu. some more."

Prince Jing paused for a moment, then glanced at Gu Chengyu who was listening attentively, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"The mastermind behind these assassins may have come to the capital a long time ago. According to the evidence collected by this king, the thieves from Daxing had already broken into the territory of Dayan many years ago. This assassination is also a It has been planned for a long time. Even the death of the father is part of their plan. The monster has been lurking in the palace for more than ten years in order to murder the father. It is a pity that this king knows all this too late. Not only was the father poisoned by him, but the monster also escaped, it is really hateful!"

When Prince Jing slapped the table, there was still a bit of anger on his face.

Gu Chengyu frowned, "According to the lord, has this Daxing been deployed more than ten years ago? But the emperor didn't start to trust Taoist priest Tianji recently, why did Taoist priest Tianji not start until now? For many years, there is no need to play this game of chess."

Regarding what Prince Jing said, Gu Chengyu only felt that there were loopholes in it.

He thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Unless Daxing didn't have time to take care of Dayan a few years ago, and they couldn't take care of themselves, how could they have time to take action? Besides, if they poisoned the emperor as soon as possible, they wouldn't be able to take Dayan down. It's not the right time."

The more Gu Chengyu thought about it, the more he felt that these two points were very possible. He heard that Daxing's royal family was also like Dayan, with fierce competition.It's just that there are many princes, and the national style has always been tough, fighting all day long, the intensity can be imagined.

The territory of Daxing is far less vast than that of Dayan, and it was only ten years ago that some tribes were annexed to expand the territory.

Furthermore, the more princes who seize the throne, the more this Daxing will be overwhelmed.In the past two years, due to internal strife, the war between the two countries has also stopped, and the people have lived a stable life for a few years.

But now the opponent has started to activate the previous deployment, which means that they have nothing to do. Could it be that there has been a new change in the situation in Daxing's court?
As for saying that the time has not come, that is simple.Although the emperor is suspicious by nature, and has a cruel heart.But I have to say that under the emperor's governance, the country of Dayan has slowly begun to recover.

More than ten years ago, the emperor was still strong, and his energy was far from what he had been in the past two years.The princes have grown up, and the power of the families has not been weakened at that time, which can be regarded as the heyday of the dynasty.

At that time, the emperor did not have such trust in Daoist Tianji, and if the emperor was murdered, the family would inevitably elect the prince supported by each family to ascend to the top.It must be very difficult for the people of Daxing to take over the Zhao family.

That being the case, the other party simply waited.Back then, the emperor was weakening the power of the aristocratic families, and now all the major aristocratic families have become tigers with their teeth pulled out, so what is there to be afraid of?
The other princes were expelled to their fiefdoms, and even if Daxing's thieves invaded the capital, they would be beyond their reach.By the time they arrived in the capital, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Now the prince of the court is about to succeed to the throne, but although the prince has the support of many civil servants behind him, he does not have a strong army of generals to support him.

In addition to soliciting right and wrong in the court, can literati end up killing the enemy?Once Daxing invaded, these ministers could only be quails.

When the prince was assassinated that day, if the prince hadn't held the tiger talisman in his hand and was able to dispatch troops and generals, it would be hard to say that this country would really change hands.

Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, who wrote this?Have you waited patiently for more than ten years?
Prince Jing was very surprised that Gu Chengyu could guess the answer, he couldn't help but nodded and said in admiration: "Master Gu is really keen on current affairs, your guess is not bad."

"Although our Dayan also has records about the Daxing royal family, after all, Daxing and Dayan are not friendly, and the records are not comprehensive. The king has stayed in the fiefdom for the past two years, and there are no other benefits. It's just that the secrets of the Daxing royal family are heard. A lot."

King Jing picked up the teapot and found that there was no more tea in it, so he immediately called Jin Shenling outside the door to come in for more tea.

"The emperor of Daxing gave birth to eight sons in total, and these survived, and the others who died young were not counted. Among them, the prince was the eldest son, who was born by the Empress Yuan. However, 20 years ago, the Empress Yuan had The disease was incurable, but he died within a month. At that time, our country was strong in Dayan, and Daxing had a hint of attachment. Therefore, when the envoy of Daxing came to congratulate us in Dayan, he proposed to let the princess of Dayan go to Daxing to get married. The two countries have diplomatic relations and share peace."

Gu Chengyu nodded. This marriage was recorded in the book history, and he had also read it.

"Father used to express that Dayan is a great country, so naturally he would not refuse. It's just that he was a little worried about the candidates for the marriage. Several concubine princesses in the palace were not old enough to marry. The eldest sister is the middle palace. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for such a distinguished daughter-in-law to get married. What's more, the elder sister was not yet at the age of Ji, so how could the father and the empress be willing? So the father chose a royal family member daughter, named her Princess Yilun, and went to Daxing to get married."

"This is a beautiful thing. The emperor of Daxing immediately named Princess Yilun as his successor to show the sincerity of Daxing's friendship and diplomatic relations. But who knows, just over a year later, there was news of Princess Yilun's death. .”

King Jing didn't say whose subordinates these assassins were, but told Gu Chengyu about these old things.But Gu Chengyu didn't interrupt the other party, because he knew that Prince Jing wouldn't tell him these things for no reason.

These things must have something to do with the assassins that Prince Jing wanted to talk about.

"Back then, the emperor of Daxing said that Princess Yilun was pregnant, and she was already a little weak, but she missed her hometown more and more, and her body suffered a serious loss. That's why she had blood collapse when she gave birth. After giving birth to the dragon son, she went."

Gu Chengyu rubbed his smooth chin, and then asked the key to the question.

"What about that child?"

"I don't know where to go! We outsiders don't know what is going on here. It's just that this king has heard the news that the death of Princess Yilun is due to something else."

Prince Jing frowned as he remembered the news he had inquired about.

"Oh? Then the emperor made the niece of the imperial family a princess and got married, did the emperor hide it from Daxing?" Gu Chengyu was puzzled when he remembered that Prince Jing hadn't been mentioned about it just now.

Prince Jing glanced at Gu Chengyu speechlessly, this person is too smart, he will look a bit boring.

It took him a long time to say: "Dayan was powerful back then, but Daxing was a bit out of control. Maybe the father, who claimed to be the monarch of a great country, didn't take Daxing's royal family seriously. Therefore, this matter has not been made clear. He only ordered the princess to be escorted. Past envoys, don’t reveal this matter, and ignore it.”
