Chapter 419 "In your opinion, what should be the next step now?"
After Emperor Zhengcang finished speaking, he saw Zuo Chi and Chu Jing curling up the corners of their mouths.
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but look up at Zuo Yuanfeng and saw him looking at the two of them with the same confusion, so he frowned slightly and asked: "This is what you two are doing" Chu Jing glanced at Zuo Chi and winked at him, then saw Zuo Chi step forward, cupped his hands and said to Emperor Zhengcang: "Your Majesty, we are far away at the northern border right now.
Although the war is over, it will definitely take some time for military reports to be sent back to the capital.
So" "So" Emperor Zhengcang narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, guessing Zuo Chi's intention.
Zuo Chi nodded and continued: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, taking the thief and taking the stolen goods, Concubine Song's power is entangled and complex in the capital.
If the Emperor wants to take down Concubine Song and her party in one fell swoop, he must commit Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince to rebel.
The crime is proven No, therefore, the humble minister dared to ask the emperor to surrender, and He Qili was concealed and did not report the victory in the northern battle.
Instead, news came out that the Hui Qiang army used fire and thunder against our army, and had successfully seriously injured the emperor in the chaos on the battlefield.
Life or death unknown."
After hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang looked at Zuo Yuanfeng with raised eyebrows, and when he saw Zuo Yuanfeng smiling bitterly at him and shaking his head, he knew that Zuo Chi must not have told Zuo Yuanfeng about this plan, so Emperor Zhengcang turned to Chu Jing looked over and saw the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had already guessed Zuo Chi's plan, so he said: "Do you mean to let me cheat my death?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Song is so cautious.
If she did not say that the Emperor's life or death is unclear, but directly declares that the Emperor has passed away, how could Concubine Song believe it so easily?
Therefore, it is best to say that the Emperor's life or death is unknown.
Only if it is vague, Concubine Song will feel, General Zuo Yuanfeng His behavior must be to stabilize the situation.
Instead, he will believe that the emperor is either seriously injured or dying, or has died on the battlefield as Concubine Song wished.
By then, Concubine Song and others will learn that the emperor has passed away.
I must be unable to bear the news, and " When Chu Jing said this, he paused slightly, then turned to look at Zuo Yuanfeng beside him and said: "Furthermore, it is impossible for Concubine Song to wait for General Zuo to return to Beijing before taking action.
She will definitely choose to do her best to make the Eighth Prince ascend the throne as emperor before General Zuo returns to Beijing.
Even if General Zuo leads the army back to the court by then, But after returning to the capital, everything has been settled, and even if General Zuo doubts it, he will not change it at all. " Zuo Yuanfeng snorted when he heard this and said: "The secret master is right.
He is not afraid of saying offensive words in front of the emperor.
If it is according to what the secret master said, in the end, the minister brought the emperor's spiritual chariot back to the capital, and found that the emperor had already changed his mind.
Your Majesty, not to mention the prince himself, how can a humble minister not hold on to doubts?
However, even if we follow the wishes of Chi'er and the dark master, By blocking the news of the victory in the Northern War, and at the same time releasing the news of the emperor's death, if Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince really couldn't bear to take action, wouldn't our Crown Prince become a target in the eyes of Concubine Song and the Eighth Prince?
Since there is not enough manpower in Nail Palace and most of them are controlled by Concubine Song, then the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince is not guaranteed."
But I heard Zuo Chi say at this time: "No, Your Majesty, father, if Concubine Song had not been helpless in the end, she probably would not have chosen to attack His Highness the Crown Prince, at least she would not have hurt His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Zuo Yuanfeng couldn't help but look at each other with Emperor Zhengcang, both of whom cast doubtful glances at Zuo Chi.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi continued: "Your Majesty, Father, have you ever thought about why Concubine Song has been secretly managing her own power for so many years, why she has been reluctant to take action?
The Emperor has left the capital, and it has not been ten days, but Concubine Song has actually managed to conquer the enemy in such a short period of time.
With more than half of the defense in the capital and palace under control, his hidden strength must be extraordinary even though he is on the throne.
In the following years, the Xining Dynasty was managed well, but there were no opportunities for Concubine Song to take advantage of.
Did the emperor forget that he was attacked by a black bear at the hunting ground in the southern suburbs five years ago and fell off a horse and was seriously injured?
So , at that time, Concubine Song did not choose to start a rebellion and seize the throne when the emperor was unable to do anything, which can only mean that " "What does it mean?"
"What does it mean?"
Seeing Zuo Chi's words paused, Emperor Zhengcang and Zuo Yuanfeng immediately asked in unison.
After hearing this, Zuo Chi took a deep breath and said slowly: "That means Concubine Song is still waiting for a time when she can legitimately ascend the throne."
"Hmph, you are secretly plotting my throne, and you still think that this trip can be justified.
Isn't it true that there is no one in the world who understands?"
After hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang finally understood what Zuo Chi meant, and even said with a slightly sullen expression on his face.
"So, what Chi'er means is that the reason why Concubine Song will not harm His Highness the Crown Prince's life is to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to transfer the right to inherit the throne to Concubine Song's son, the Eighth Prince."
Zuo Yuanfeng was at this moment He also understood, and couldn't help but secretly thought that Concubine Song's scheming was very deep, and she was indeed vicious.
Chu Jing nodded and said: "What the emperor and the general said is true.
I am afraid that Concubine Song has been reluctant to launch a rebellion because she wants to claim the throne in a legitimate way.
Remember that the late emperor temporarily changed the imperial edict, but now, as long as Concubine Song and the eighth prince can firmly control the crown prince, In your own hands, you will definitely feel that it is foolproof.”
"As you two said, if I agree to your plan, there is no guarantee that Concubine Song will believe it easily."

Emperor Zhengcang frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice.
But Zuo Chi seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, and he heard Zuo Chi say: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this.
No one else knew about last night's action except the people who participated in it and the men led by my father today.
The Emperor's stand-in on the battlefield today did not attract the attention of the Hui Qiang or our own soldiers. , now we only need to declare to the outside world that the surrender of Qiang after three days has not been carried out, the city defense cannot be withdrawn, and the people in the northern city are strictly ordered to go out during these three days.
The three-day time gap will determine what we are going to do. , enough.”
"But, idiot, then who is going to send the message to Concubine Song in the capital that we are going to win a great victory in the north, but the emperor's life and death are unknown?"
Zuo Yuanfeng said with some worry after hearing this.
But Chu Jing took a step forward and said: "I can do this kind of trivial matter for you.
Now that the sect master is away, I am taking care of all the affairs within the Shadow Sect.
Moreover, I am the secret master of the Shadow Sect, so it is somewhat credible.
But when it comes to certainty, How many, but it is” Zuo Chi smiled softly when he heard this and said: "One more person to go."
"who" As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, the three of them all looked at Zuo Chi.
They saw the corners of Zuo Chi's lips slightly curved as he said: "Return to Qiang He Qili
