I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 583 Insight into the conspiracy
After Li Tian learned that Zhuge Zheng had offended this little devil, he also smiled wryly, feeling sorry for his misfortune.

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for your ministers. Fuyang Hou has no law and order, and he has no eyes on His Majesty. He beat the officials of the Ming Dynasty at will. This is a serious crime of contempt for the royal power!"

Now Li Tian finally knew why Zhuge Zheng was beaten, and he didn't dare to go to the court to seek justice, but ran to himself to complain about the reason.

In addition to being known by more people in the court, which would only make him more embarrassing, he also knew that the reason why Fu Yanghou was so domineering was his mother, Princess Yongping.

Even if he said this to the court, he might not get a fair result.

Li Tian knew that even if he gave the order to punish Li Maofang, it would probably be nothing in the end, so he could only sigh slightly,

"Talk to me, why did you find out about Marquis Fuyang, and why did he beat you?"

After Zhugezheng hesitated for a while, he still reported the truth.

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I found out about Marquis Fu Yang is because Marquis Fu Yang was also one of the people who denounced Yang Gelao and others.

The minister didn't understand why Fuyanghou was biting the innocent Yang Gelao and others, so he simply conducted a survey on Fuyanghou.

After investigation, I found out that Marquis Fuyang and Marquis Baoding had very close contacts.

The minister suspected that Marquis Fuyang might have been bewitched by Marquis Baoding, so he jointly reported Yang Gelao and others.

So the minister came to visit and asked Fu Yanghou to clarify the matter in person.

Unexpectedly, the minister just made a start, and Fuyang Hou became furious..."

Li Tian frowned and said,
"Is this little bastard crazy? It has nothing to do with him. He's messing around!"

Zhuge Zheng continued,
"The minister questioned Fu Yanghou in the same way at the time, but Fu Yanghou said convincingly that he knew exactly what Second Young Master Yang had done.

He also said that Second Young Master Yang wanted to win him over to do it together, but he refused..."

Li Tian couldn't sit still at this time, and walked down the steps slowly, savoring these two sentences of Li Maofang while walking.

According to what Yang Dao said to himself at the time, he had never conspired with anyone in this matter, and from the beginning to the end, he actually did it by himself.

Why did Li Maofang support Meng Xianying so much, and why did she insist that Yang Dao had wooed her.

Based on Li Tian's understanding of Li Maofang, he feels that he is not the kind of person who doesn't even want the face of himself and his mother for the sake of brotherhood.

Maybe there is something hidden in it.

So he turned his head and asked Zhuge Zhengdao,

"During the investigation, did you find out whether Baoding Hou had given Fuyang Hou any benefits in private!"

Zhuge Zheng shook his head and said,

"The minister is incompetent and has not found any information about this."

Li Tian pinched his chin and began to meditate.

Judging from his previous inferences about this incident, whether it is Meng Xianying, the Wang family, or the imperial envoy who reported the tea horse case in the court, they are actually just a part of the plan of the real mastermind behind the scenes.

To put it bluntly, they were nothing but abandoned pawns who were dragged out to serve as gunmen.

However, Fu Yanghou is such a worthless dude, why do they have to win him over.

After thinking about it, Li Tian only thought of one possibility.

That is, what they really want to win over is not Fuyanghou at all, but Princess Yongping who has a special status behind him.

As for what is special about Princess Yongping, I'm afraid we have to start with the royal eldest daughter.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu had two daughters and three sons together, and the five of them can be regarded as the most orthodox direct bloodlines.

The eldest princess, Princess Yong'an, died in Yongle 15 years ago.

As Zhu Di's second daughter, Princess Yongping became the only remaining first princess.

If it was in a peaceful age, even being a princess would be nothing special.

But once the foundation of Ming Dynasty is shaken, any direct bloodline will become an important bargaining chip to affect the general situation of the world.

For example, once something happened to Li Tian.

Whether to choose Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of the former emperor, or Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince, her words carry great weight.

Zhu Zhanji was kidnapped, and his life and death are unknown. Although Li Tian has tried his best to conceal the matter, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. It is not difficult for interested people to know this situation.

If something happened to him before Zhu Zhanji showed up, such as going crazy, getting seriously ill, or even killing himself,
If someone wants to replace him with something like a country supervisor or regent, the opinion of his cheap sister is very useful.

Li Tian didn't know whether Princess Yongping was bought or not.

But judging from the attitude of Marquis of Fuyang Li Maofang towards Zhuge Zheng, Li Maofang must have known something, that's why he dared to fight Zhuge Zheng even though he knew that Zhuge Zheng had received his errand.

After analyzing this point, Li Tian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he had realized some great conspiracy.

At the beginning, these guys wanted to take advantage of the tea horse case to clean up some of the ministers who were loyal to them first, so that there would be no hindrance in the follow-up matters.

Then take advantage of the opportunity that the prince is no longer in the capital, find an opportunity to make himself lose the ability to be the emperor.

Then they can use the bribed relatives of the emperor and even the generals in the army to help the person they want to take the position logically.

One link after another, it is almost impeccable.

Thinking that he might have been included in the eradication target, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and tremble all over.

Although all this is just his conjecture, it has not been confirmed.

But judging from the information collected so far, this possibility is not impossible.

But in a second of thought, Li Tian suppressed the coolness that had just risen.

Because he knew that Zhu Zhanji would be fine with Chen Hong's fleet and Zhuang Shaoyou's guards.

This is equivalent to beheading one of the opponent's hands. As long as the prince is alive and well, even if something happens to him, it will not be the turn of the person they arranged.

Secondly, it is not so easy for them to kill themselves.

At this time, the eunuchs and maids of the palace have been completely subdued by him, and the possibility of wanting to kill him through their hands is extremely low.

Their only chance is probably to arrange someone to assassinate them while they are out of the palace.

But if they were more peaceful during this time, or if they brought enough guards every time they went out, their plan would be cut off again.

In this way, their success rate will be compressed to the minimum.
