Chapter 493 Choice
Xiao Lingjiang cleared his throat, and said in a slow voice: "Yong'an's trip is to Chizhou, and the investigation is actually about the Jiangbei Mei family's collusion with the Jingu. During this...it even involves Sister Yongmu... "

"Jiangbei Mei family? Yongmu?" The emperor frowned when he heard this.

This Jiangbei Mei family, he hadn't heard anyone mention it for many years.

The queen was born in the rich Li family, but her biological mother was not the first wife of the Li family, but a concubine, a daughter of the Mei family in Jiangbei.

He is very clear about this.

It's just that her biological mother died young, and the queen was recorded under the name of the Li family's concubine wife since she was a child, and was raised by her, so she is no different from a concubine daughter.

In addition, he was not taken seriously when he was the prince, so it is reasonable to marry such a rich family's prostitute.

The queen's biological mother passed away for many years, and she has been raised at the knees of Mrs. Li's wife. The closest one is only Mrs. Li's natal family. No one has mentioned the Jiangbei Mei family for a long time.

What's more, the current head of the Mei family, Mei Qu, is of the blood of the former royal family, and the empress is now in a high position, so it is natural to have a clear relationship with her.

However, how did Yong'an find out about Mei's investigation of the Jingu, and it also has a great relationship with Yongmu?

Seeing the emperor's suspicious look, Xiao Lingjiang reported all the things that happened during her trip to Chizhou. From the northern border, someone saw a woman appearing in the wilderness to work for the shrine, and took a portrait of Chizhou to find someone. His own daughter, Cen Niang of Mei's family, suddenly caused chaos in Chizhou, and then took down Mei Qu and his son, and Mei Qing pointed it out...

The more the emperor heard about it, the angrier he became.

"Okay, how dare you provoke a riot of ferocious beasts and harm innocent people, this group of people are really mad and lawless!" He slapped his palm on the table, his tone full of anger.

The servant on the side trembled slightly, lowered his head and quietly glanced at the emperor, seeing his angry face, he couldn't help lowering his head even lower, looking at his nose, nose and heart, as if he was standing there like a human pillar.

The emperor took over the evidence and case file presented by Xiao Lingjiang, and listed every word and deed, every evidence and thing in it. This fact that the Mei family colluded with the Jingu was indeed confirmed.

"What a Mei family..." The emperor's eyes were slightly cold.

He was not too surprised that the Mei family colluded with Jingu.

Although the patriarch of a great family is good, how can there be a king of a country to seduce people's hearts?
Mei Qu is the son of the princess of the previous dynasty. If he really had the heart to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty and revive the previous dynasty, he would be famous as a teacher if he did something wrong.

And that shrine was also born in the state religion of the previous dynasty.At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because it supported the former emperor to resist the Zhou army, there were many casualties.Later, due to the situation, all the Taoist sects broke with it, and Taiqing Temple rose from behind, ranking first among the Taoist sects.

Therefore, it has resentment in its heart, and it is determined to overthrow the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now it is almost a matter of course that the two hit it off and jointly plan the anti-weekly re-reporting.

I just don't know... Who is the master and who is the assistant of the Mei family and the Jingu?

The Mei family has the blood of the previous dynasty, if they want to revive the previous dynasty with this, they must be well-known teachers.In this way, the Mei family should be the main one.

If the Mei family is the mastermind behind everything, then as long as the Mei family is taken down, the shrine will lose its leader, and it will disperse like birds and beasts.

However, Xiao Lingjiang has been confronting the Jingu for so long. This Jingu, just like what some of the envoys of the Shenu that she captured earlier said, seems to intend to use the teachings to establish the country and put the teachings of the Jingu above the imperial power.In this case, the shrine should be the main one.

Looking at it now, the Mei family and the Jingu are nothing more than a relationship of mutual use and their own thoughts.As for who wins the game after that, that will be another game.

In any case, now that the relationship between the Mei family and the Jingu is known, both of them must be taken down, and they can no longer be allowed to do whatever they want.

The emperor put away the dossier in his hand, put it on the case, raised his hand and stared at Xiao Lingjiang: "I know about the Mei family and the Jingu. Only what you said just now is related to Yongmu. one thing?"

He paused, his eyes flickering: "But the prince and queen are also involved?"

The empress and prince also carry the blood of the previous dynasty, although it is very small, but it is not impossible for the Mei family to use them to act.

He overthrew him as the emperor, directly helped the prince to the throne, and then made a daughter of the Mei family as the queen, giving birth to a prince with the blood of the Mei family.

In this way, this Great Zhou is still the world of the Mei family, the world of the former royal family.One day, if they want to change the dynasty, it's okay!
Or maybe, when the queen with the blood of the Mei family flowing through her body was chosen as the prince concubine, and then gradually became the mother of a country, their plan had already begun!

The expression on the emperor's face has changed several times, but he has already thought of a lot in a few snaps of his fingers.

Xiao Lingjiang saw that his face was covered with frost, and his expression became more serious, so he knew where he was thinking.

To be honest, when she found out that Yongmu was the daughter of the Mei family, she also had this kind of speculation in her heart.

For Mei, this is undoubtedly the most convenient and trouble-free method.

When the crown prince was improperly employed and the crown prince's position was in jeopardy, Yong Mu appeared beside him, step by step to get rid of Prince Duan with the help of the outside world, and then gradually won the crown prince's reliance.

Judging from this step, the Mei family seems to have placed a crucial chess piece next to the prince.

However, if the Mei family wants to implement this method, they should not allow the shrine to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom, causing successive turmoil in the north and south, causing civil turmoil and setting up epidemics in the territory.

Taking over a torn and turbulent Zhou Dynasty will not be of much benefit to the prince or the Mei family who has other thoughts.

Unless...they don't intend to start with the prince, or this method is not the best method they imagined.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help thinking of Mei Jiulang, the frail but talented eldest grandson of the Mei family.

If the Mei family wanted to use the crown prince to seize the throne, it would take two generations.Moreover, so many ministers in the court are not stupid. Even if the crown prince ascends the throne and wants to appoint Mei's daughter as queen, it may be difficult to carry out this matter, let alone appoint another prince with Mei's blood?
Even if it is feasible, if the Mei family wants to change the dynasty in the future, they will have the reputation of being a traitor and traitor.Just like the Sima family who usurped Cao Wei, even if he established a new dynasty, wouldn't he be cast aside in the annals of history?
Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the integrity of their names, especially those who call the king an emperor.The king of the country and the political leaders are crowned with the name of the son of heaven, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also used the name of the son of the red emperor to revolt by killing snakes.

Mrs. Mei... I'm afraid she doesn't necessarily want to stigmatize her name, does she?
How about another way?

Under the decades-long plan of the Mei family and the Jingu, if the state of the Great Zhou continues to be shaken and the people suffer from disasters, it may be possible to ask them to find opportunities to overthrow and rebuild. Responding to all calls, the uprising came to fruition.

Although this method is a bit troublesome, it can win the reputation and the hearts of the people, so that it can go further.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't answer the emperor's question right away, and she couldn't draw a conclusion right away, but asked him along the way: "Uncle Emperor, which method do you think Mrs. Mei will choose?"
