After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 7

The dark guards were also not sure if the people in the guard of honor team were kings or not.

But they do have doubts.

"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is cautious." Xie Tangru closed the book.Some high-ranking people who cherish their lives will just use the carriage to hide their eyes and ears in this situation, but in fact they are mixed with the accompanying attendants, and no one pays attention.

It was impossible for Xie Tangru to kill all the people who followed Cheng Wang.

Then this matter will be difficult.

He didn't really doubt that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang might have left the guard of honor first, after all, the son of a daughter can't sit still, and Cheng Wang has military power in his hands, so he doesn't have to take risks easily.The fragments in the dream were fragmented and scattered, not enough for Xie Tangru to clearly connect Cheng Wang's image and character.In fact, he remembered very little of what happened in the dream.

"Stand still for now." Xie Tangru pondered for a while, but still said, "Pay attention to the suspicious people who have come to the imperial capital recently. King Cheng...maybe he has sneaked in."

The first prince and the second prince control the capital, and they are all wary of King Cheng who holds the military power. If King Cheng wants to return to the capital smoothly, the first prince and the second prince will definitely not be happy.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to send someone to intercept and kill King Cheng.

Secret guard: "The subordinate will order people to pay attention. However, the son who the prince asked us to pay attention to a few days ago, the subordinate thinks his whereabouts are also extremely suspicious. Our people saw him in Zhongshuling's mansion."

It was a coincidence that Xie Tangru's influence was not so powerful that even the family of the important officials in the court knew it well, but it just so happened that Zhong Shuling and his father were very kindred spirits.

——They are all obsessed with cultivating immortals, and they even gave each other a lot of elixir.I am afraid that I will die one step later than the other party.

The people in Wei Guogong's mansion saw the man when he was delivering the elixir to Zhong Shuling.

In addition, the dark guard also inquired about other news by the way.

"According to the servants in Zhongshuling's mansion, they only know that the man calls himself Yao Shang, and don't know anything about his identity. But Zhongshuling is quite polite to him."

"Why is he going to see Zhongshuling?" Xie Tangru asked the hidden guard, who was stunned, not knowing how to answer.But Xie Tangru didn't want the answer of the hidden guard, he quickly figured out all the clues in his mind.

Yao Shang is most likely the person of His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, who also acted on the order of King Cheng.But Zhongshuling had a lot of experience in cultivating Taoism, and married the emperor's cousin, who was very popular in the old emperor's later years.

King Cheng is away all year round, and he has never had much friendship with Zhong Shuling.The only thing that can connect them is the dead old emperor.

Could it be that the old emperor left some secret decree in Zhongshu Ling before his death?This decree has a lot to do with King Cheng?

This speculation flashed through Xie Tangru's mind.

Fingers tapped on the table, the rhythm was a bit messy.

Either King Cheng and Zhongshu Ling had colluded for a long time, or it was really related to the "secret decree".

However, there is a secret decree, and it is impossible for King Cheng to succeed the throne.King Cheng was not loved by the emperor, but there was no one in the court, so he had to be used.According to the fatuous and suspicious character of the old emperor, it is almost as good to order Cheng Wang to surrender his military power, or to be more cruel and ask him to commit suicide.

Thinking about it this way, King Cheng is really pitiful.

It's so pitiful, it's better not to stay in this world and suffer.

he thought casually.

After a while, Xie Tangru spoke again: "Speaking of which, neither the First Prince nor His Highness the Third Prince knew that the person who became the King had sneaked into the Imperial Capital under their noses."

The dark guard didn't know why he brought up the eldest prince and the third prince again, but as a knife in the hands of Duke Wei, he didn't need to think too much, as long as he executed every command of his master perfectly.

He said: "The eldest prince and the third prince should not have found out."

In fact, the eldest prince and the third prince are arguing over who should own the dragon chair.Although it is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, they don't want to be forced to go west with a knife after only being a king for a day.

Under the calm of the normal operation of the huge imperial court, the two forces maintained a delicate and dangerous balance.

"Then let them know."

Xie Tangru had a faint smile on his lips.

"Let them know that His Royal Highness King Cheng's confidants have obtained the secret decree left by the late emperor, which says - King Cheng can inherit the great line."

There was a wickedness in his smiling voice.

"……Yes."

Xie Tangru's people acted very quickly, and within a few days the news that "the old emperor has chosen Cheng Wang to succeed him" spread all over the city.

It also reached the ears of his father Wei Guogong.

But Wei Guogong knew that this was all caused by his little bastard.

The little brat didn't let him be safe for a day.

Wei Guogong: "By the way, I heard from the secret guard that you don't really like that confidant of King Cheng... Yao Shang or something... Why do you act like you want to kill him?"

It must be said that the purpose of passing on the secret is to cause people to be chased and killed by the First Prince and the Third Prince.

This is not to look at others, I am afraid that I will make enemies with them.

Wei Guogong began to worry that if this unlucky son would do the same thing when he married a wife, wouldn't he be alone for the rest of his life?

Xie Tangru took a sip of cold tea: "He did me a big favor that day, and I promised a condition, but I couldn't find a chance to repay the favor—" He said with a slight smile, "So I had to create the opportunity myself."

The corners of Wei Guogong's eyes twitched, he didn't understand that he had been upright half his life, and his wife was also gentle and kind during her lifetime, so why did she raise such a careless bastard as Xie Tangru.

After he sighed, he also recalled that the little brat was trying to "send charcoal in the snow" in order to win people over.

"Aren't you afraid that people will be smart and find out what you've done?"

"So what?" Xie Tangru chuckled, "The process is not important, as long as the final result is what I want."

He will not let the other party suffer any real harm, at most he will force the other party to seek asylum - King Cheng has no contacts in the imperial capital, and the other party, as King Cheng's subordinate, wants to avoid the pursuit of the two princes at the same time, so he can only ask Xie Tangru " repay the favor".

When the other party found out that he had already killed that Cheng Wang, would the other party have a better choice?If you want to use fame and fortune, and move it with friendship, are you afraid that the other party will not be used by you?

What's more, when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, it's just a matter of different positions. How can we simply judge right from wrong?The other party can hardly blame him.

In terms of emotion and reason, he can't be regarded as a big mistake.

Wei Guogong sneered: "People's hearts are not so easy to play with. You are going smoothly and have never encountered any setbacks, but if you stumble and lose yourself, don't expect me to save you."

"Of course, I will take care of it myself in the end." Xie Tangru said.

"I'll take care of myself if I make any mistakes?" Wei Guogong asked.

"nature."

Wei Guogong said "Oh", and suddenly slapped the table violently, his eyes widened: "Then explain to me where the pear blossoms in the altar have gone?! If I don't explain to my satisfaction, I will break your leg today !"

The calm smile on Xie Tangru's lips finally froze.

The author has something to say: You can't be too confident in being a human being, otherwise you will overturn.

For example: a son of a certain age.
