Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 62 Finding Evidence
"Princess."

Xiao Tao called softly outside the door: "His Royal Highness has personally made your favorite pastries and is waiting outside Yingxue Palace. Do you want to..."

"Don't let him in!"

Xiang Yingxue was still angry and resentful: "Go and tell him, I will never forgive him!"

"Princess……"

"Go ahead and say it!"

"……Yes!"

Xiaotao walked away slowly.

Xiang Yingxue was soaking in the soup pool, putting her arms on the edge and leaning her head on it.

The emperor's brother is just like his father. He only looks at superficial skills and doesn't think about the hardships of the people in the northern barbarians and their bravery and proficiency in fighting.

How could a group of ferocious hungry wolves not take a bite out of Chu State's fat piece of meat?

Especially for a barbarian commander like Murong Chen, if he was in Chu State, he would be killed and he could find any excuse to deal with Yan State.

Even if Murong Yue knew that Chu had done this intentionally, he would not be able to start another war since his new dynasty was just established and he was suffering from illness, and the national power of Yan would be greatly weakened.

You can also take advantage of Murong Chen's death to instigate the remaining tribes of Beirong and Beidi to conquer the Yan Kingdom in the name of revenge.

Soochow was in the midst of the chaos of the three kings seizing the throne, and the young emperor of Xiliang was not as tall as a bench. In this way, it was not a problem for the Chu Kingdom to remain peaceful for several decades.

Why don’t your father and brother refuse to listen to me?

Thinking of the slap she received from Xiang Jingming today, Princess Yingxue's tears rolled down again.

"Who cares about your pastry? It must be very delicious!"

Suddenly, several crisp birdsong sounded outside.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, knowing that the person she had been waiting for was here.

"Come in!"

The door opened slowly and closed slowly.

A middle-aged woman wearing a night gown underneath and a palace maid uniform outside appeared next to the soup pool.

"Slave Zi Yan, please see your master!"

These four simple words are as powerful as a bell, and once an expert hears them, they will know that he is a person skilled in martial arts.

However, Xiang Yingxue knew nothing about martial arts. She only knew that she could handle everything assigned to her.

"How about the investigation you were asked to do?"

"Back to my master, during the ten days before King Bei Yanchen came to Beijing in advance, he met with three important officials in the court, namely Grand Sima Zheng Rong, Minister of War Lin Hai, and Minister of Household Affairs Zhao Guangji."

The Ministry of Accounts?

It is logical that Murong Chen wanted to attack the Chu State and interacted with important officials of the Ministry of War in order to find out the strength of Nan Chu's troops.

But what use is the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance to him?
Do you know the number of household registrations in Chu State?
For barbarians like them, the only way to conquer a land is to kill them all or rob them all, or to enslave them all.No matter how large the number of people is, it is just a matter of using a few more knives. No matter how small the number of people is, it is still a big country, enough for them to control.

Why is that?

She glanced at the smoke.

Zi Yan immediately understood her thoughts and began to think deeply with her.

Suddenly, Zi Yan said quickly: "Is it because of something like that?"

Xiang Yingxue suddenly understood and said in unison with her: "Defense plan!"

God!

Although soaked in warm water, Xiang Yingxue still broke out in a cold sweat.

Rumor has it that the Chu State had already prepared a century-old border defense plan in my wife's and grandfather's generation.

He divided the carefully drawn defense map into five pieces and hid them in the homes of the five major noble families.

Among them, the Zheng family, the chief minister, and the Lin family, the minister of war, have been generals for generations.

Zhao Guangji, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also a famous general for his ancestors, and it was only in his lifetime that he began to study literature.

Such a confidential matter, she only heard her father mention it to her brother when she naughtily hid in the cupboard in the east palace to play as a child.

As the commander-in-chief of the enemy country, Murong Chen actually knew this?

this is too scary!

I thought of King Chen’s cruelty, domineering, and lack of rules, as well as the contempt and disdain of women in the Yan Kingdom.

If Chu's city is captured...

The consequences could be disastrous!

"I'm going to see my father now!"

Xiang Yingxue put on her clothes and went to Xiang Junhao's bedroom.

But he suddenly stopped.

Recalling the previous evidence that the No. [-] Restaurant was destroyed, and the way her father was openly angry with her in the main hall, she learned her lesson this time.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Because King Chen was tall, his hat was hung off by a branch when he passed by the garden of Shangshu Mansion. There was an old gardener in Zhao Guangji's Mansion who happened to see his appearance. In addition, Zhao Mansion recently had a few horses unique to Yan Kingdom. ."

Xiang Yingxue nodded: "Follow me to the Zhao Mansion."

"Now?"

Zi Yan looked hesitant: "If Master leaves the palace now, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

Yes, the dignified princess left the palace late at night. If word spread, how could she have a clean reputation?
