Chapter 393: Each One's Own Thoughts
After thinking about it, Zeng Guangren shook his head slowly again.
"Just one dead soldier can't prove anything."
Who made Jiang Yue have such great military achievements, and also enjoy the great favor of His Majesty and be steadfast and unshakable?
This can be seen from the attitudes of the noble families and the two princes towards Jiang Yue today.
He was just thinking about disintegrating Jiang Yue's power step by step.
You always have to start with doubt.
"Dad, I don't quite understand why you want to kill her." After what happened today, Zeng Xueer actually had some admiration for Jiang Yue.
Zeng Guangren shook his head:
"No, you've heard it too. He's good friends with the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince is close to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince is doing well, wouldn't your sister's life in the palace be miserable? Jiang Yue is so calm and thoughtful at such a young age. What will happen when she grows up?"
"But my sister is already the queen. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the position of empress dowager will be hers. You can't kill her for this." Zeng Xueer still didn't quite understand, and even felt that her father had gone too far.
She thought about Jiang Yue killing the enemy, and recalled Jiang Yue's talent today, and suddenly she didn't want her to die anymore.
"If you want to control her, your daughter is willing to marry her."
General Zeng was silent. He was wondering whether Zeng Xueer's plan was feasible.
"Xue'er, you are three years older than her."
"He's only three years old anyway, Dad, don't do anything so dangerous again. The little general looks like he's not easy to mess with."
General Zeng secretly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
On the one hand, Jiang Yue had made great military achievements and was deeply favored by the emperor. If he could be won over through marriage, it would be extremely beneficial to him.
On the other hand, he was worried that people like Jiang Yue would not give in easily.
"Jiang Yue may seem simple-minded and reckless, but she is actually very smart and clever. I'm afraid she won't easily accept this marriage."
"Dad, I believe that as long as you treat her sincerely, you will always move her. Besides, the situation in the court is complicated now. It is better to have one more ally than one more enemy." Zeng Xueer's eyes were firm and she had confidence in herself.
After hearing this, General Zeng's expression did not change at all, "Xue'er, you can't be sentimental."
"Sir." At this time, a man dressed as a guard came forward and bowed to General Zeng.
"I saw it clearly. The Fourth Prince's men were in disguise today, wandering outside the palace gate, holding Beiyan's correspondence, ready to hand it over to Your Majesty. However, he was not allowed to enter the palace and was stopped by the royal guards at the palace gate."
"Letter? What letter?" Upon hearing this, General Zeng frowned slightly.
Weren't Zhao Chongzheng's people arrested along with him a long time ago? There was no guarantee that there weren't some who had escaped.
"I heard from my subordinates that this is the real person behind the scenes, and he is the evidence of his relationship with Beiyan. I heard that the content of the letter was written by the Fourth Prince of Beiyan, saying..."
"Oh, they said that as long as we cooperate, after overthrowing the current emperor, we will be promised great benefits and divide the world equally."
"But I think that the Fourth Prince is just desperate. Who told him to not be a good prince and to cooperate with Beiyan?"
"Who said it wasn't?" Captain Zeng stroked his thumb ring with one hand and felt his heart beating faster.
He thought that the Fourth Prince must be making his last struggle.
"No matter what, it is a foregone conclusion that His Highness the Fourth Prince has colluded with the enemy and committed treason."
It's not just General Zeng.
Wen Liang, Cui Wanqian, Mu Taishi and other ministers in the court have also heard this news to some extent.
This matter was initiated by Wen Liang. He only needs to observe quietly and take action at any time.
At the Mu Mansion, Grand Tutor Mu looked at him with contempt.
"A playboy is a playboy. After committing such a heinous crime, he still wants to turn things around?"
Yes, such heinous sins can never be undone.
For example, my elder brother was exempted from punishment by making meritorious contributions and was even treated respectably in the end, but he died.
"Brother, I haven't visited you for a while. I wonder if you are doing well down there?"
Suddenly he thought of his brother, and his mood became depressed.
Just as he was thinking about the bad past, he heard a servant report back,
"Sir, the Taiwei Mansion encountered an assassin today."
"Assassin?" After hearing this, Mu Yun immediately thought of his son who was still a guest at the Taiwei Mansion today.
Not seeing the person, he immediately walked to the gate of the mansion and asked the guard at the gate whether the person had returned.
After receiving a negative reply, he raised his eyes and stared in the direction of the Taiwei Mansion, thinking about going there, but when he saw his son trotting back in dejectedly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Son, I heard that the Taiwei Mansion was attacked by an assassin. Do you know what happened?"
"It was all caused by Jiang Yue." Mu Chengfeng still felt a little embarrassed when he thought about his apology just now.
"What exactly happened?" Mu Yun was really anxious and wanted to know the reason.
"Jiang Yue captured the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince's people sought revenge on him." Mu Chengfeng told the truth.
"You must practice martial arts diligently in the future, and don't let others outdo you again." Mu Yun listened to what Mu Chengfeng said, and thought to himself that Jiang Yue was really an evil star.
After thinking about it, he shook his head again. It seemed that it was General Zeng who took action.
"Is anything wrong with her?"
To be honest, he really hated General Zeng.
As for why? Because his official rank was obviously higher than his, and he always had to follow his lead.
But he couldn't resist.
"No, she is unharmed." Mu Chengfeng's face fell.
"Jiang Yue's moves are ruthless. You can't mess with someone like him. And that Ding Ping, he insisted that Jiang Yue and the Fourth Prince had an affair, so I thought it was true and slandered him. It's all because of him that I was blamed by the Second and Third Princes today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was given a cold look by his father.
"No future!" Mu Yun thought carefully about Mu Chengfeng's words and thought:
It's easy to get on a pirate ship, but difficult to get off.
"Dad, I'm serious. Except for one person, the rest of Jiang Yue's side are just good-for-nothings." Although Mu Chengfeng is arrogant, he also knows how to deal with things.
"Who?"
"Just a nobody." How could Mu Chengfeng care about his name?
And Mu Yun, for some reason, his heart was always pounding.
Mu Chengfeng turned around and saw his father leaving in a hurry, so he naturally returned to the yard.
...On the way back home, Jiang Yue was thinking about what had just happened.
A few people walked on the road in silence, and they were in a really bad mood.
Finally, Wu Fei broke the silence.
"General Yue, are they really the Fourth Prince's men?"
Not only Wu Fei had doubts, the other three also had doubts.
After all, apart from Jiang Yue, no one had ever really come into contact with Zhao Chongzheng. Although Jiang Yue suspected that he was wrongly accused of the Fourth Prince's crime, she had no evidence.
They kept thinking back to the words that Jiang Yue had spoken in self-defense when she was framed.
"No." Although, Jiang Yue would not determine that there was something wrong with General Zeng based solely on Zhao Chongzheng's one-sided statement.
But what happened today has increased her suspicion of General Zeng, and even made her certain of him.
Still two words, evidence.
