"Why do you say that about knowing joy?"
"Didn't you just say that someone was impersonating Yuwen Zhe?"
The eldest princess asked a question in return.
Feng Zhile knelt down to speak:
"Your Highness, because the whole thing is too strange."
"I have sent men to search for Commander Li and his men, but so far there have been no results."
"If we assume that His Highness the Imperial Grandson first escaped the encirclement of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, then killed the young master of the Yuwen family, and then impersonated him to enter the capital."
"Your Highness, is this even possible?"
"Your Highness, I have long heard of you. Although you are a wise and virtuous person, you were born with mortal bones."
"His bodyguard Chen Zhong was only at the late stage of the Innate Realm, and the orc was only at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm."
"The rest of the people stopped at the initial stage of the Innate Realm."
"These things cannot be faked, and there is no need to fake them."
Every prince is examined for his martial prowess upon birth to assess his aptitude and determine the appropriate treatment he receives.
It's impossible for the Crown Prince's residence to disguise a prince with martial arts talent as an ordinary person.
That's meaningless.
It's impossible for Zhao Jing to have known how to conceal things from birth.
Despite Feng Zhile discovering that Yuwen Zhe had killed Du Jin, he brazenly entered the city.
She believed that Yuwen Zhe was indeed an imposter, but the more she investigated, the less she understood.
The eldest princess said in a deep voice:
"Zhi Le, do you mean the Yuwen family was involved?"
The image of Yuwen Yi involuntarily came to mind for the eldest princess.
He was the person who understood his political ideals best, besides Baili Che.
Only then could the two sides come together, and the eldest princess did not mind Yuwen Yi's terrible reputation in the past.
Now, would he scheme against me, or even kill Steward Baili?
Feng Zhile replied:
"I dare not make a judgment, but I believe the imperial grandson is truly capable of accomplishing this series of great feats."
"He will be an extremely formidable enemy, and we must eliminate him as soon as possible."
Although Feng Zhile got close to the truth, he thought it was impossible.
Because it's so absurd.
How did he accomplish all this? It's possible that he simply came back to Yujing to cause trouble, or that it was just a sudden whim.
Why is no one responding?
The eldest princess retorted:
"It would be quite reasonable if this were the work of Dean Liu."
"Master Liu rescued Zhao Jing and used him to complete his scheme."
Feng Zhile shook his head:
"Your Highness, this is impossible."
"Master Liu's goal must be to kill Yuwen Huan."
"Any leak could have fatal consequences."
Grandmasters have a connection with each other, and once they make a move, it will be easily detected.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that grandmasters either remain still or move with the force of thunder.
With Yuwen Huan, the Prince of Zhenbei, and Abbot Liaochen all sealing off the Red Sun and waiting for Master Liu.
His rash action would be tantamount to prematurely exposing himself.
The more powerful you are, the more you are perceived.
This is the law of divination.
If your power can easily influence a country, the dynasty's fortune will react sensitively.
The eldest princess nodded:
"I understand."
"But you must remember, you must not reveal any information about the Yuwen family's involvement in this matter."
"All related intelligence must be destroyed."
"If such rumors circulate in the market, I will hold you responsible."
Feng Zhile was startled upon hearing this and quickly replied:
"Your subordinate obeys."
The eldest princess will not fall out with the Yuwen family.
Even if they were to fall out, she would only consider it once she had power far exceeding that of the Yuwen family.
Otherwise, that would be too foolish.
The eldest princess's main support base was her maternal uncle, Marquis Xuanwu, and secondly, the Yuwen family.
The Prince of Zhenbei and Abbot Liaochen appear to support the Princess, but in reality, they are forming an alliance based on mutual interests.
For the Prince of Zhenbei, the destruction of the Yuwen family might have been a better choice.
After all, Yuwen Huan was like a thorn in his side.
As for why the Prince of Zhenbei supported the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess knew the reason perfectly well.
The Prince of Zhenbei hopes to have the full support of the imperial court to launch a northern expedition, seize more land from Da Xuan, establish his own kingdom, and use war to appease the god of slaughter and perfect his martial will.
The believers in Yanzhou who worshipped the god of slaughter and the god of blood were shouting:
"Let us wage war and wash away the blood of the Great Xuan."
"Rob money, rob food, seize territory!"
You misspoke.
"We will launch a northern expedition against the Great Xuan and recover lost territory."
Emperor Hongjing's policy of retreat and stagnation provoked serious dissatisfaction among the military's top brass.
The Prince of Zhenbei worships the God of Slaughter and hopes to advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal through a massive war, preferably a war that destroys a nation.
Emperor Hongjing was right to say that the Prince of Zhenbei had many conflicts with the Western Liang Army and the Xuanwu Army.
However, the root of the conflict among the three parties lies in the struggle for military resources and who will lead the Northern Expedition.
Emperor Hongjing was a proponent of not launching a northern expedition.
Just as Fei Yi of the Three Kingdoms period refused to launch a northern expedition and was assassinated as a result, Jiang Wei became the general in charge of the northern expedition.
Therefore, some people have long suspected that Jiang Wei was involved in Fei Yi's death.
The principle is the same.
Even a conservative like Fei Yi had Jiang Wei.
Not to mention Emperor Hongjing.
The military leadership could not tolerate Emperor Hongjing's policy of retreat.
King Qi was cruel, yet he was able to get along well with the army and was also a martial arts genius of his generation.
However, after he made several meritorious contributions, he was suppressed by Emperor Hongjing.
It was hidden away in Yujing.
The Prince of Zhenbei initially supported the Prince of Qi's ascension to the throne.
The eldest princess effectively replaced the King of Qi's niche.
Emperor Hongjing hoped to reduce the pressure from his children by rotating them.
In his view, the Prince of Zhenbei's support for the Prince of Qi was in serious conflict with the Marquis of Xuanwu's support for the Princess and his seizure of the resources of the Northern Army.
How could they possibly unite?
My Great Yong Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai.
But history will prove time and again that seemingly sophisticated imperial strategies will always lead to collapse.
In the Battle of Qingshakou, the Eldest Princess led the Xuanwu Army to support the Northern Army and successfully defeated the Xuanjia Army. Just as they were preparing to counterattack, adopting a combined land and sea operation to launch a counterattack on Yunzhou and fulfill Emperor Shizong's unfulfilled wish, the gold medal arrived.
Emperor Shizong restored the dynasty, reclaimed Yanzhou and Liangzhou, and washed away the shame of the Yan-Yun region, but suffered a defeat only in Yunzhou.
Because a peerless genius emerged in Yunzhou at that time, hindering Emperor Shizong's progress.
He is none other than Su Zhengdao, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xuan Kingdom, who is currently ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking.
Emperor Shizong had no choice but to accept the situation and agree to a peace treaty.
This time, the Grand Master of the Great Xuan Kingdom, Su Zhengdao, went into seclusion to cultivate, and the Emperor of the Great Xuan Kingdom launched an expeditionary campaign to prove himself, but it failed.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a golden chance to reclaim Yunzhou.
As a result, Emperor Hongjing issued three imperial edicts in succession, ordering the Northern Army to halt and not to pursue the Xuanjia Army.
This gave Da Xuan a chance to catch his breath and rearrange the Yunzhou defense line.
Upon learning of the gold medal, a Northern Army officer flew into a rage and drew his sword, breaking a stone in two.
"To let the enemy escape for even a day will bring disaster for generations!"
"The perfect opportunity to annihilate the Xuanjia Army is now."
"Why retreat! Why retreat!"
"How can a coward be emperor!"
With the emperor far away in the capital, unable to hear the soldiers' roars, he began to change tactics, continuously weakening the eldest princess.
Support some, suppress others.
It's just the next cycle of reincarnation.
As a result, the eldest princess recognized this need and took the initiative to become their spokesperson.
The Northern Army originally did support the Prince of Qi, but since the Prince of Qi could not comply with their demands, they changed to another person.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but princes and grandsons of emperors are plentiful.
On the day of the operation, the Iron Pole Army of the Northern Army, led by King Qi, was completely wiped out.
The Prince of Zhenbei immediately switched sides.
In particular, the eldest princess was a usurper, and her legitimacy was extremely low.
Tyrants are often ambitious and eager for glory, even to the point of waging war, using countless achievements to cover up their inferior legitimacy.
Even if a tyrant is of low character and has committed many evil deeds, as long as he has great achievements, there will always be a bunch of people cheering him on.
But the Northern Army was ultimately no match for the princess.
The eldest princess did not want Yuwen Huan to become a terrestrial immortal, but she also did not want him to die.
Otherwise, the Prince of Zhenbei would still be a major threat.
She must maintain close control of this alliance and gradually absorb the power of the royal family before she is qualified to truly rule the world.
Even if the Yuwen family is proven to have deliberately killed Baili Che, the eldest princess will still take over the royal power and become a half-step immortal before she can achieve this.
They'll just pretend they don't know.
The eldest princess made a decision quickly and warned Feng Zhile not to continue the investigation in this direction and to make a definitive characterization:
"Everything is related to Zhao Jing."
"Commander Li, I demand to see the person alive or dead, and get to the bottom of this."
The eldest princess believed that the Yuwen family wouldn't be that foolish.
Even if they were to turn against each other, Yuwen Huan would be advancing to a terrestrial immortal, giving her time.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Feng Zhile understood immediately and quickly spoke:
"In addition, after suppressing Yujing, Young Master Yuwen also sent people to Wanshou Mountain."
"I have my doubts."
"Don't worry, he's just going to protect the imperial tombs."
"After all, there has been some activity at the imperial tombs."
The eldest princess was only dealing with the situation in Yujing temporarily; she had to rush to the imperial mausoleum without stopping.
"Prepare manpower immediately and head to the imperial mausoleum."
Feng Zhile was taken aback:
"Your Highness, isn't this too hasty?"
If the coup goes smoothly, he should first serve as crown prince for two days to demonstrate a smooth succession.
Holding the coronation ceremony now seems like an unseemly act.
The eldest princess shook her head:
"We have no choice but to act quickly; the enemy's counterattack is coming too fast."
"If Master Liu is not dead, he will surely raise an army in the south, using Zhao Jing as a rallying point, to rebel against the imperial court."
"I must quickly establish a just cause and quell the rebellion."
Once the North falls into the hands of the Eldest Princess, she can claim legitimacy and take control of the North as quickly as possible, sweeping across the Great Yong Dynasty.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The eldest princess added:
"Bring me Zhao Jing's file."
"I want all of them."
"And have his name engraved; I want to see it every day."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in this world.
The princess had no idea that the surprises Zhao Jing was giving her were still ongoing.
