(Request for monthly tickets)_2 He revisited the entire event in the Cannon Fodder Camp, ticulously reconsidering his thoughts, and ultimately arrived at one conclusion: It was highly likely that this matter was related to the senior ranks of the military; otherwise, it would not have been possible to execute it without any leaks.
Even more so, there was a fair chance that the incident was related to the conflict between the Grand Marshal and the Emperor’s son.
After all, both the false orders and false intelligence were sealed with the stamp of the Grand Marshal, and the imprints of the seals were genuine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so easily deceived.
Later, after the mishap, his first impulse was to look for the texts of the false intelligence and orders, only to find that those docunts, which should have been preserved in the military camp, had all disappeared.
It was as if, the Marshal had never issued those orders.
Suffering from the lack of any evidence, he could only die wrongfully.
In order to vindicate her father, she changed her na and entered the Sky Pillar using so connections, and worked her way up to its senior ranks, utilizing its channels to start investigating the events of that year.
Her first suspect was the lineage of the Kang Commandery Prince, who benefited from the situation.
Previously, she had zealously helped the Emperor Zi’an curry favor with talents and gather intelligence, partly because she did not want the Kang Commandery Prince to ascend to power, and partly because she pinned her hopes on Emperor Zi’an reopening the case to clear her father’s na post-succession, so that if her father and Hao Commandery Prince knew, they could rest in peace.
Over the years, although through various signs and so scattered indirect evidence, she could generally deduce that the Grand Marshal and Prince De Xin had collaborated to doom the Hao Commandery Prince.
However, one was the Military God Grand Marshal and the other was a Prince of the Imperial Household.
This matter was of significant importance.
Without concrete, incontrovertible evidence, forming a complete and unshakable chain of evidence, they were untouchable. Even Emperor Zi’an felt that so of the evidence was too subjectively speculative and feared that once it was presented, it could be invalidated by the opposition exploiting its vulnerabilities.
Tian Yan Immortal had no choice but to seek help from Wang Shouzhe, hoping he could assist.
After she finished speaking, Wang Shouzhe finally responded, “Your Majesty, although the evidence chain is not sufficient, De Xin indeed has a clear motive for the cri, and so circumstantial evidence also points to him. The suspicion is very high. However, Shouzhe has always been puzzled as to why the Grand Marshal would be so deeply involved in the conflict over the Emperor’s son. Moreover, too much ti has passed, and it is almost impossible to obtain concrete proof now. The only ones who know the whole truth are likely the actual participants at that ti.”
“Therefore, Shouzhe can only set up the current sche, drawing the snake out of the hole, using Prince De Xin’s psychological state to lure him into revealing the truth himself.”
“It can’t be that simple!” Prince De Xin roared unhappily, “You set up this sche, how can you be sure that I would definitely fall for it? All the operational plans are decided by ; could it be that you have so Demon Art to control my thoughts and actions?”
“That’s right.” Emperor Longchang also frowned and said, “On what grounds do you assu that De Xin would act at this mont, and take the actions he has?”
“Your Majesty, this matter is slightly complex,” said Wang Shouzhe reluctantly.
Emperor coming along was just a hassle, complicator.
“Complicated or not, you must explain,” Emperor Longchang glared sternly, “This matter is so significant, do you still intend to skirt around it?”
Alright then.
After a brief contemplation, Wang Shouzhe said, “This has to start from when Cao Youqing stirred up trouble in my Longzuo County, and Long Wuji forced to switch allegiance to the Kang Commandery Prince.”
“Isn’t that stretching too far?” Emperor Longchang glared, “Who are you trying to fool?”
“Your Majesty, at that ti, I felt that the conflict over the Emperor’s son was too risky, and I didn’t want to get involved, but the pressure from Long Wuji and others was too great. As such, I had to weigh the gains and risks of getting involved in the conflict for the Emperor’s son.”
“Based on that, it was only reasonable for to thoroughly investigate ‘Future Lord’ Kang Commandery Prince’s background and personality, as well as key figures around him, their backgrounds and personalities, and Kang Commandery Prince’s opponents, among other comprehensive information,” Wang Shouzhe said innocently.
Emperor Longchang glared.
Reasonable my soul!
It was just a Prominent Family pledging allegiance to a lord~Back then, many Prominent Families had already picked sides, why did you alone make such a big fuss?
However, he verbally agreed, “Cautious and thorough in consideration.”
“My lord knows, a person’s character is often shaped by a combination of external and internal factors such as one’s family background, life experiences, and psychological traumas,” Wang Shouzhe explained, “At that ti, I discovered that Prince De Xin was unusually obsessed with the conflict over the Emperor’s son, and even when Kang Commandery Prince was still young, he continuously instilled ideas in him like ‘You were born at a good ti, you must beco the Emperor’s son,’ ‘You are the future Great Emperor,’ and so on. In essence, he was projecting all his life’s disappointnts onto Kang Commandery Prince.”
“At that ti when Kang Commandery Prince was in his heyday, Prince De Xin was boasting all over the place about how well he had taught Kang Commandery Prince. He even cited an instance from Kang Commandery Prince’s childhood, when due to overly harsh teachings, he said ‘I don’t want to be the Emperor’s son,’ and faced severe punishnt from Prince De Xin, using this to illustrate that it was fortunate for him, Prince De Xin, that Kang Commandery Prince had achieved such success.”
Prince De Xin, escorted by his trusted aides, his pupils shrank.
He hadn’t expected that Wang Shouzhe had investigated so thoroughly, even uncovering details that he himself had almost forgotten.
“It can be seen from this that Prince De Xin’s obsession with succeeding to the throne far exceeds that of Kang Commandery Prince. Even if Kang Commandery Prince might give up, Prince De Xin, given even a sliver of a chance to overturn the situation, is very likely not to give up. If left unchecked, he would eventually beco a hidden threat.”
