Chapter 1612
Of course, the old emperor will not allow other forces to participate in the battle for the succession. Originally, in his mind, the so-called battle for the succession is just a means to divert conflicts and delay time. As long as Sun Laodao's elixir is practiced, Or he gave birth to Zici, and he will not let go of any of the sons who are jumping around now.

All this needs to be under his control, but if other countries participate, it will be difficult to say, so as long as he knows that Xixia and other countries are involved, he will definitely take action.

However, there is also a problem. Once the emperor makes a move, not only is it likely to break the balance of the battle for succession, but even if the envoys of Xixia and other countries have accidents because of this incident, the relationship between the Central Plains and Xixia and other countries will be even worse. Domestic hardliners are also likely to force Xixia and other countries to send troops.If the two sides meet with each other now, all actions of the imperial court will definitely give priority to war, which will cause great trouble to Zeng Yi and his plan.

The four of Zeng Yi discussed this and felt that the solution lies with the court. The four countries may send troops. If there is a disturbance in the four countries, will the four countries still have the ability to send troops?As long as the imperial court makes some troubles in the four countries before the emperor takes action, this problem can be solved perfectly.

After going online the next day, Zeng Yi secretly contacted Wan Huojing. Wan Huojing didn't know what Zeng Yi investigated last night, and when he saw Zeng Yi, he asked if he had any clues.Zeng Yi immediately said: "Let's not mention anything else, I found out more important things, Xixia and other countries have also participated in the battle for the succession, and the ceremonial minister Wailang who investigated last night is the son of the prince and the envoys of Xixia and other countries. contact person!"

"What!" Wan Huojing was startled when he heard the news, "How dare they, this is traitorous!"

"Hehe, the temptation of the throne is too great. As long as you can ascend the throne, let alone traitors, there are people who will be the sons of others!" In reality, there are many such examples in history. In the Five Dynasties, Shi Jingtang borrowed the help of Khitan Taizong Yelu Deguangzhi to establish the Later Jin Dynasty and compete with other regimes.Although he was the emperor, he still called himself a minister to Khitan. Although Shi Jingtang was ten years older than Yelu Deguang, he called Yelu Deguang his father and called himself the son emperor.After that, the Northern Han Dynasty was attached to the Liao Dynasty, and he was called the nephew emperor.

"Then, what should we do?" Wan Huojing was a little confused for a while, looking at Zeng Yi and asked.

Zeng Yi smiled: "Hehe, we don't need to make a move. If the emperor knows that Xixia is involved, he will definitely make a move, but there is a problem that needs to be resolved before that."

It is a great credit to tell the emperor about Xixia and other countries participating in the cooperation. Naturally, this matter was handed over to Wan Huojing. Wan Huojing secretly entered the palace that night after hearing Zeng Yi's plan.

In fact, Wan Huojing has always been regarded as the emperor's confidant, because he assisted a prince in name, which is already a bit of a complaint in the emperor's heart. Seeing him coming to the palace so secretly in the middle of the night, he asked with some doubts: "Aiqing is so late, Come to the palace, what's the matter?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have discovered something terrible, I have no choice but to disturb Your Majesty, and please forgive me!"

"Oh? Why are you so anxious, can't you talk about it tomorrow morning?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not let others know about this matter!"

Hearing this, the emperor became serious and looked at the old eunuch. The old eunuch immediately waved his hand to let the maids and eunuchs leave. Then the emperor looked at Wan Huojing seriously and said, "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, I have discovered that some people have colluded with Xixia and other countries! They have participated in the battle for the throne!"

"What!" Hearing this, the old emperor sat up from the dragon chair, "Are you sure?"

"Members of the Ministry of Rites secretly contacted the Xixia envoys. I have no proof, but the matter is of great importance, and I dare not delay."

Hearing that Wan Huojing had no evidence, the second child of the emperor frowned. After a while, he looked at Wan Huojing and said, "If I remember correctly, you have taken refuge in your son, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Huojing understood that the old emperor suspected him, and deliberately came here to falsely accuse Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, in order to attack the power of other princes.Wan Huojing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there is no one who supports the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. This minister is just forced to do so, but I know that it is all because of His Majesty's trust that I can come to this day. How can I fail His Majesty, if His Majesty doesn't believe me, I can send someone to investigate, if my minister tells a half-truth, I am willing to crash and die in front of Your Majesty!" Wan Huojing spoke righteously, and many emperors and elders didn't believe it, so they used Knowing the meaning of death.

Seeing Wan Huojing like this, the old emperor froze for a moment, and the old eunuch at the side said: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of slaves, if Master Wan wants to harm that ceremonial member Wailang, there is no need to come by himself, as Master Wan said. It is very likely to be true, why not send someone to investigate!"

Hearing the old eunuch's words, the emperor came to his senses and smiled slightly: "Aiqing, get over quickly, I naturally believe in Aiqing, so in Aiqing's opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

There are quite a few people who support the son. If he really surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, the old emperor doesn't know what to do. If all the ministers are arrested, the court will also fall into chaos.

Wan Huojing understood this truth, and did not beat him to death with a single stick. Instead, he said: "My lords, although I disagree with my ministers' political views, I will definitely not commit treason. I guess that it is very possible to cooperate with Xixia. That prince and a few people acted without authorization. Now that the court is not prone to chaos, I feel that it is better to handle this matter in secret!"

"Your Majesty, Master Wan is right, this matter is very involved, and this servant feels that it is better to handle it in secret!"

The old emperor nodded, "I will leave this matter to you, and I will definitely investigate it as soon as possible. Who is betraying the country!"

Of course, Wan Huojing didn't forget that this matter is likely to cause war, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now the four countries are on the border, and I am also worried that the four countries will take the opportunity to send troops. Before dealing with this matter, we need to consider this issue! In my opinion, it is better to create chaos in the four countries, as long as your majesty handles it quickly and resolves the matter before the four countries react, the war can be avoided."

"Hmph, let them come, I'm afraid they won't make it!"

"Our imperial army is mighty, so naturally we are not afraid of them, but the current situation of the imperial court makes it really difficult to use force. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Of course, the emperor also knew that the current state of the court made it difficult to use force. He said that, but he just showed that he was not afraid of war.
