Chapter 370 What happens next
Meng Hexuan was so anxious that he wished he could fly back to Huayang Hou Mansion immediately.
He did not expect that Li Ji was a spy sent by the enemy from the beginning, and he was even more afraid that his parents, wife and children would be assassinated when he was not at home.
The word "sex" has a knife on its head. Now he really understood this truth.
Sometimes being too conceited means that you will stumble over small things. Who would have thought that a weak and weak singer could also deceive a noble person?
Damn Xiao Yueze is indeed sinister and despicable! He has used such a low-level beauty trap again and again.
Song Xi is also a terrible guy. He was able to take away so many secret messages from Shu without a trace, and he also successfully hid it from the eyes and ears of the Meng family and the Xiao family.
Meng Hexuan was frightened and frightened, so he left the capital with several followers overnight.
Song Xi's "return gift" completely disrupted their family's plans, and he had to return to Shu immediately to adjust the arrangements.
The day Meng Hexuan left the city gate, Song Xi and Yu Yalan knew the news.
The couple chatted leisurely and paid no attention to Meng Hexuan's reactions and actions.
Compared to the cunning Xiao Yueze, Huayang Houfu is actually not too difficult to deal with.
As long as the ghosts lurking in the dark are revealed, the Meng family will naturally know who is the opponent they should be wary of most.
The North is still in a period of rest and recuperation and is really not suitable for launching any war.
There was a strong neighbor who kept staring at them, and Song Xi and Yu Yalan also felt very uncomfortable.
Simply lay out all the conspiracies and tricks. The Xiao family can no longer hide behind the emperor and reap the profits. They are all powerful men who hold real power in this troubled world. What kind of fisherman's play is they trying to hide their capabilities and bide their time?
A box of secret messages kills two birds with one stone.
It can not only expose the Xiao family hidden under the water to the political arena, but also allow local powerful people like the Huayang Meng family to shift their attention to the south.
As for how much trouble and doubt the Xiao family will face after being exposed, both Song Xi and Yu Yalan expressed their great anticipation.
Two months later, Dao Jiu and Lei Qi came to see Yu Yalan with their newborn leopard cat cubs, and also brought the latest news about Shu and the south.
Yu Yalan took out spiritual spring water to open up the spiritual wisdom of the little leopard cats, and then listened with interest to everyone chatting about the situation outside.
Lei Qi: "My dearest concubine, it has been very lively over there in the Shu region recently! After Prince Meng returned home, he personally beheaded Li Ji, and then he also pulled out all the hidden stakes hidden in the Huayang Hou Mansion. The Shu region
The deployment of troops and horses has also undergone a complete change, and the more than a dozen prefectures and cities under its jurisdiction have been noisy."
Dao Jiu: "The man surnamed Meng probably hates the Xiao family. A few days ago, he published an article denounced the King of Zhennan, saying that the Xiao family held the emperor hostage to order the princes, and secretly bribed the Qilu rebels under the pretense of suppressing the rebellion.
He wants to seize power in his name, and also says that he will unite the forces of the north and south to clear the emperor. I hope that our prince can also contribute."
Yu Yalan: "..."
Thank you for the invitation. The Song family does not want to get involved now.
Lei Qi: "A few days ago, spies from Jinling also sent news, saying that the Dog Emperor angrily rebuked Xiao Yueze when he went to court. The emperor was very angry when the marriage grant and tax collection failed, but he was not as angry as he is now.
After embarrassing Xiao Yueze and the Meng family exposing all Xiao Yueze's plans, the emperor began to fear the Xiao family."
Dao Jiu: "Are you afraid now? It's already too late! Most of the arrangement of the Xiao family in the Jinling court has been completed. How long does the Dog Emperor think he can sit on the throne? If he doesn't usurp the throne immediately, he will be spurned by the government and the public. I'm afraid that the Dog Emperor will
His life is long gone!”
Lei Qi: "Shouldn't the eunuch who announced the decree have told the emperor about the collusion between the rebels and the Xiao family earlier? Why did the emperor's break with the Xiao family come so late? If the power of the Xiao family could have been reduced earlier, it would not have happened today.
He has become a puppet emperor."
Dao Jiu: "How else would you say that the Dog Emperor is really a dog? He wouldn't believe it if the eunuch who declared the order was brought back! Xiao Yueze said a few words that this was our prince's plan to divorce, so the Emperor Dog sent the eunuch who announced the order and the envoys together.
They were all chopped down, and then Xiao Yueze took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and eradicated the last remaining royal ministers in the Jinling court. There is really no way to stop a person when he wants to die. It was a waste of time for our prince to send him
News!"
Lei Qi: "So the Dog Emperor can only curse a few words. How many people in the court can listen to him? There are many emperors who believe in treacherous and sycophantic officials and kill virtuous ministers. No one is as stupid as him. Now
Want to turn around and save the overall situation? It is better to think of ways to prolong his own life."
The two secret guards were having a heated discussion, but Yu Yalan on the side was lost in thought.
Emperor Long He was actually not as stupid as everyone ridiculed, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat the brothers and become the final winner.
After sitting on the throne of God, it is inevitable that you will be suspicious, and of course you will pay more attention to the news from powerful enemies.
Xiao Yueze may have taken advantage of this suspicion and scrutiny, and used the time lag to cover up or reverse the matter. Even if he only temporarily deceived the emperor's eyes and ears, it was enough for a smart man to turn defeat into victory.
When the Meng family launched an attack and the Dongchuang Incident broke out, the emperor finally came to his senses and realized that the Xiao family were the most dangerous rebellious officials and traitors, and he also knew Song Xi's true intention in passing on the news.
But by this time it was too late. King Zhennan controlled the affairs of the court to such an extent that all important powers in the court fell into the hands of the Xiao family.
The emperor had no one to rely on, and even the food he ate every day, the people he met, and the words he said would all be reported to the ears of the Xiao family one by one.
Without freedom and the right to make decisions, isn't he just a puppet emperor in the hands of the Xiao family?
There was no hope for Emperor Long He to stand up again. Even being angry and swearing when he went to court could not change the overall situation. If he could escape from the palace, there might be a glimmer of hope, but would he be willing to give up his throne?
Based on Yu Yalan's understanding of him, Emperor Longhe probably would not choose this path.
The Wu family would rather die to hold on to that bit of imperial power. Even if they were killed on the throne in the end, they would still enjoy the imperial power, wealth and honor until the last moment.
The emperor refused to flee, and the Xiao family would not allow him to die of old age. The final outcome would inevitably be the death of the emperor, the usurpation of the throne by powerful officials, and the complete end of the Zhou Dynasty.
But if the Xiao family wants to change the dynasty legitimately, they must prepare reasons that can convince both the government and the public.
Directly usurping the throne will turn him into an evil minister who will be infamy for thousands of years. All forces ready to move will use this as an excuse to attack the Xiao family. Countless verbal and written criticisms will incite public opinion and make both the government and the public stand up against the Xiao family's regime.
Yu Yalan and Song Xi discussed this matter, and both husband and wife believed that the Xiao family would not put them in a disadvantageous situation.
If King Zhennan wanted to become the emperor, he would probably use the method of abdication, first let Emperor Longhe's son ascend the throne, and then force the young emperor to abdicate to him. This would be in line with etiquette and law, and the Xiao family could use this to create something for themselves.
