Chapter 956 Behind the Scenes
"Your Majesty, those people have found His Royal Highness King Qi again!" Zhao Ah Qi reported.

If you can find the third child Yang Hong, you can naturally find the second child Yang Wu.

Fortunately, the boss, Yang Yi, was taken out, otherwise, with his ambition, he would get entangled with this group of people again, and the consequences would be unpredictable...

"How did the second child react?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi shut them out and ignored them."

"Okay." Yang Zheng praised.

Among the several sons, the second son, Yang Wu, is actually the calmest one. The five years of farming with Yang Xiao in Shuofang County have washed away his impetuousness.

After sealing Shandong, he did a lot of practical things for the people.

Recruit refugees, build water conservancy, build ports, and connect Liaodong, Sanhan and Qingzhou.

Officials in other parts of the Kanto region are still fighting with the imperial court, but Qingzhou is already thriving and entering a period of rapid development.

The place is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and merchants are everywhere. Guanggu has become the most prosperous place in Shandong.

King Qi also gradually became known as a virtuous king.

Yang Zheng sent him there because he liked his management ability.

In fact, no matter how famous Yang Wu was, he couldn't challenge the crown prince's status. Daqin had already established the eldest son inheritance system, and the generals in the army, court officials and even the common people in the world only recognized Yang Xu.

If the second child is confused at this time, it is his stupidity.

"Have you found out who is behind the scenes?" Yang Zheng tapped on the armrest of the soft couch with his fingertips, enough time had already been given.

It's not a good thing to let these people run around.

"I checked... I found it..." Zhao Ahqi faltered again.

"Say." Yang Zheng already had the answer in his mind.

This kind of thing requires only a reasonable guess.

To get Wei Guan and Pang Qing involved first, and then stir up the succession, ordinary people don't have such great energy.

Zhao Aqi spat out two words: "Taiyuan."

Yang Zheng took a long breath, "It really is him."

Bingzhou governor, Meng Guan.

Meng Guan in history was not an innocent person either. He actively participated in party struggles, attached himself to Jananfeng, and killed Yang Jun, Yang Ji, and Yang Cong. Later, he actively participated in the Eight Kings Rebellion and joined Sima Lun's sect. Sima Lun usurped the throne and ascended the throne. As emperor, Meng Guan also reached the highest peak in his life, and was promoted to general Annan and governor of the military forces in Hebei.

After Sima Lun was defeated, Meng Guan was beheaded in Luoyang, and the Yi tribe.

There is no doubt about Meng Guan's military level in history, and he quelled the Guanzhong Qi Wannian Rebellion.

In this era, the battle between Feng Yi and Feng Yi was also an attempt by Meng Guan to capture Sima Zhao and Chen Tai. He took the first step to occupy Baishui City, cut off the retreat of the Jin army, and forced Sima Zhao to flee to Linjin, which was farther away in the severe cold, and established the Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Army victory.

It also has a great influence on the general trend of the world.

From then on, Yongliang did not belong to the Sima family.

However, after this battle, Meng Guan began to go downhill, guarding Huayin, but was broken by Chen Qian, putting Chang'an in crisis.

This battle also became a stain on his military career, and his achievements in Daqin were inferior to those of Meng Yu, Pang Qing, and Liu Heng.

Compared with Du Yu, Wei Guan, Zhang Te, Ma Long, and Wen Yang, it is even worse.

Yang Zheng asked him to guard Taiyuan because he wanted him to accumulate some qualifications for future use. After all, he was still young, and he still had Du Yu on his head.Zhang Te, Malone et al.

However, he couldn't wait any longer.

If Pang Qing fell, the Qingying faction would definitely look up to him. If Wei Guan fell, he and Pang Qing would also be able to squeeze into the court.

"Jin Yiwei's hidden stake detection is that the remnants of the former dynasty in the Central Plains took the initiative to approach Meng Guan. The assassination of the prince was because these people wanted to force Meng Guan, and Meng Guan was also caught off guard by them." Zhao Ahqi said a lot of words, Yang Zheng's thoughts were interrupted.

"Are you pleading for Meng Guan?" Yang Zheng gave him a sideways look.

To assassinate the crown prince is to touch one's own scales and shake the foundation of Daqin.

"I don't dare!" Zhao Ahqi also knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly knelt down, "I just reported the truth."

"Is there any evidence?"

People like Zhao Aqi, Pang Qing, Meng Guan, and Liu Heng fought with him from Fanghan all the way back then, and they had established a deep relationship long ago.

"Yes, after Meng Guan heard that they had assassinated the prince, he was frightened out of his wits and sent assassins to assassinate this group of people in order to eliminate the traces, but the other party was prepared and fled ahead of time. Meng Guan's people were looking for them everywhere, and our people happened to catch them. Several people."

"Why don't you say that Meng Guan killed people to silence him? Destroy all the evidence?" Yang Zheng suddenly felt that Zhao Ah Qi had stayed in the Zhenfusi seat for too long.

Zhenfusi is a very useful tool, but if the tool has its own position and ideas, it is a dangerous thing.

Zhao Ah Qi was stunned by the question, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Just when Yang Zheng was disappointed, Zhao Ah Qi suddenly said: "Subordinate, this subordinate has torture confessions, confessions, and secret letters found."

"Bring it up."

"Wei." Zhao Ahqi hurriedly ordered someone to fetch it.

Not long after, several Jin Yiwei sent the confession and secret letter.

The confession was nothing to read, and the assassin didn't know about Meng Guan's relationship with those people, so he only knew to kill people.

However, one of the secret letters caught Yang Zheng's attention. There was no signature at the beginning and the end, but someone from Hebei was asked to help search for the traces of those people.

Comparing the handwriting with Meng Guan's previous handwriting, it was confirmed that it was correct.

Comparing the incidents on both sides, Meng Guan's suspicion of assassinating the prince was basically eliminated.

Yang Zheng calmed down and thought about it, no matter how insane Meng Guan was, he would not touch the prince. What he wanted was power, not to hang his head on his crotch and kill him. Even if something happened to the prince, it would not do him much good.

Instead, he will face his own crazy revenge.

Connecting the front and back, Yang Zheng already had a rough guess in his mind.

Meng Guan wanted to use the strength of this group of people in the Central Plains to drag Wei Guan and Pang Qing into the water, but this group of people made their own decisions and wanted to murder Yang Xu and plunge the Great Qin Empire into great turmoil.

Yang Xu had an accident, and Yang Zheng had neither the time nor the energy to train a new heir.

It is inevitable for the other sons to seize the throne.

"Have you found out who they are?" Yang Zheng was relieved and disappointed.

Character determines a person's destiny.

This is true of Meng Guan in history, and it is also true of Meng Guan now...

"It seems to be our old opponent."

"Oh?" Yang Zheng was taken aback. There were many old opponents, and he didn't know which one it was.

Zhao Aqi cupped his hands and said, "The dead man of the Sima family!"

"That's interesting. There must be a central figure in the gathering of Sima's dead men."

The Sima family is good at raising the dead.

At that time, Master Sima raised three thousand dead men under Cao Shuang's nose, but no one in Luoyang knew about it.

Sima Yan's position was wrong, and the real heir cultivated by the Sima family was Sima You.

Sima You is the son of Sima Shi. Just like the trilogy, the dead men have strong personal attachments. In the end, Sima Shi may not all be loyal to Sima Zhao and Sima Yan.

Moreover, it was Wang Jun who surrendered voluntarily in Luoyang back then, and these dead soldiers survived in the city.

With the Sima family's reproductive ability, it's not surprising that one or two fish slipped through the net.

"Jin Yiwei is secretly investigating this person." Zhao Aqi clasped his hands.
