Chapter 331
Lu Heng has a good logic and is intertwined with each other, and any unreasonable things cannot escape his eyes. Wang Yanqing let go of his mind and listened to him at ease.
Lu Heng did not reveal his inclination, but still analyzed the situation in an orderly manner: "Let's assume that it is the first one. The master behind the scenes has made such great efforts to plan, and he will definitely get huge benefits from it. If the emperor really has an accident, the person who will benefit the most is who?"
Wang Yanqing immediately thought: "The three princes?"
"The three princes are still young, and this kind of thing can only be done by their biological mother. If the palace collapses without an edict, according to convention, the ministers will appoint the eldest prince, so among the three concubines, the second prince's biological mother Wang Guifei is the most suspect."
When the emperor passed the throne, he would consider his preferences and talents, but the ministers directly established the leader. So if Yang Jinying is really successful, the second prince Zhu Zaihe will become the next emperor.
Wang Yanqing said: "It seems that Concubine Wang is quite suspicious, so let's investigate Concubine Wang next?"
Lu Heng didn't answer, kneading Wang Yanqing's hair with his fingers, and said slowly, "Concubine Wang is very suspicious, and it is only relative to the birth mother of the three princes. If the second prince is fifteen or sixteen years old, the ready-made benefits are worth taking risks by Concubine Wang, but The second prince is less than one year old, even if he is established as the new emperor, he will inevitably need his ministers to assist him, and then the power will fall to the cabinet, what does Wang Guifei want?"
It is possible for Wang Guifei, but there is no need to do so at all. As long as her son grows up safely, she is the one with the biggest chance of winning, so why should she take the risk of killing the king?
Wang Yanqing asked, "You mean, the cabinet?"
"Among the senior scholars in the cabinet, Xia Wenjin, Zhai Luan, and Yan Wei, an old fox, are capable of bribing Yang Jinying. But Xia Wenjin has just taken the position of first assistant, and his foundation is unstable. This kind of juncture has changed. Zhai Luan is the second assistant. Even if he is appointed as the auxiliary minister, Xia Wenjin is in front of him, and he has the final say in government affairs. His primary goal should be to bring down Xia Wenjin, not to kill the king. As for Yan Wei can't make any sense. He only joined the cabinet. In terms of qualifications, prestige, and auxiliary politics, he can't get his turn. How could such a good old man like him do such radical things?"
Wang Yanqing sighed and asked directly, "Who do you think it is?"
"After doing this, it seems that the one who benefits the most is me." Lu Heng clicked his tongue, showing an inconceivable look, "Could it be that it's me?"
The author says:
Lu Heng: The traitor was actually me.
Chapter 110
This was in Lu Heng's carriage, and it was absolutely trustworthy, only then did Lu Heng dare to speak out. This kind of experience was unprecedented. Lu Heng followed the logic and finally found that he was the most suspicious person.
If the emperor dies suddenly, Lu Heng can really benefit by embracing the new emperor. But these benefits are far less than that of the emperor without incident.
Over the years, Lu Heng has relied on his childhood friendship and understanding of the emperor to have smooth sailing in the court. If something happens to the emperor, Lu Heng will have to cultivate his power again. And when the new emperor grows up, he is bound to promote his cronies. Since the founding of the country, the Jinyiwei commander who has never effectively ordered the two monarchs, changing the new emperor means changing the Jinyiwei commander.
In a nutshell, the emperor is Zhu Houxuan, who benefits Lu Heng the most. Lu Heng would only commit monarchy when he was crazy. He rescued him twice, enough to see his position clearly.
Lu Heng sighed: "This is the first time I have touched myself by following the vines. It's really big in the world, and there are no surprises."
Wang Yanqing rolled his eyes secretly and choked him: "Then do you want to check yourself?"
Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing, Bo Guang smiled and asked, "What do you think, Madam?"
Wang Yanqing was too lazy to care about him, she could understand things, how could Lu Heng not understand? Wang Yanqing said: "Although there is no evidence, I prefer the second possibility."
Instigating someone to murder the emperor, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, the other party cannot escape death. Few people are willing to do this kind of thing unless there is enough interest. On the other hand, Yang Jinying has no children, no enemies, and no money to be found around her, so she can't see anyone tempting her with interests.
Moreover, if someone really ordered Yang Jinying, he would be able to offer a price that would make people reckless. Why not buy more powerful eunuchs, but use sixteen inexperienced maids instead?
Wang Yanqing felt that it was difficult for outsiders to bribe. Only hatred from the heart can make sixteen timid and cowardly women go forward bravely knowing that they are dead.
Lu Heng thought that the main messenger was his own ridiculous logic. Of course, he knew that there was no main messenger to be more credible. But Lu Heng couldn't say that he had to check all the people above to make the emperor feel at ease.
Lu Heng was noncommittal and said, "To be on the safe side, let's check the first possibility first."
This person pretended to be confused with her again, and Wang Yanqing couldn't help but said, "You also want to be safe?"
"Of course I will." Lu Heng looked at her with a smile and said meaningfully, "Besides, if I don't say that, will you stay in my arms for so long?"
Wang Yanqing reacted suddenly, his face turned cold, and he was about to push him away immediately. Lu Heng wrapped Wang Yanqing's hand and said, "Okay, I won't tease you. But anyway, we have to check the first one first."
"You just offended the queen yesterday, and you will offend the harem's favorite concubine tomorrow?" Wang Yanqing sat down slowly and said, "How many lives do you have to pretend?"
