Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

So in Xiao Jining's eyes, seeking to usurp the throne is not a big deal?

Wen Yu stood silently, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

Xiao Jining thought that Wen Yu knew about his "personal relationship" with Jing Yuan anyway, and was afraid that Wen Yu would mistakenly think that he blindly believed in Jing Yuan because he liked him, so he explained: "Scholar Wen, General Jing was still young at that time, The relationship with me is not deep, but today is not what it used to be, and now General Jing is just like you, loyal to me, and a servant of my humerus."

Oh, the relationship was not deep at that time, but now it is "deep", so Jingyuan will no longer have the intention of committing the following crimes?

Hearing this, Wen Yu couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: Just say it straight, forget about you and Jing Yuan not being together at that time.

However, the reason he entered the official position was to become a powerful minister of the Great Xiao. What Xiao Jining said just now was almost telling Wen Yu straightforwardly: He will reuse him, as long as Wen Yu can listen to the little emperor.

Sitting in the harem, the emperor is free to marry as many women as he wants, or to be with any man he wants to be with. Wen Yu will not care about it. It has nothing to do with him being a minister in power. Expressing his allegiance: "I thank the emperor for his love, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."

Talking to a smart person is easy, Xiao Jining nodded and said: "Okay, I still have to go to the Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, so I won't stay as a bachelor."

This means that he can leave.

Wen Yu returned the gift, but just as he turned around, he still couldn't help turning around and reminded Xiao Jining again: "Your Majesty, there seems to be some changes in the military camp in the north of the capital recently. No matter what, you still have to be careful, Your Majesty."

There are a total of 20 soldiers in the Jingdu military camp in the north, all under the command of the Jing family. This is the largest army in the capital. If the Jing family intends to mobilize the Beijing army to force the palace, it will be difficult for Xiao Jining to transfer another capable army in the capital for a while. Legion to contend with the Garrison in the North.

In addition, Jing Yuan was also the commander of the Forbidden Army, and was in charge of the transfer of all the Forbidden Army in the palace. Even if he didn't need to launch a rebellion with the Northern Army, it would be extremely easy for him to launch a coup d'état.

Wen Yu's eyebrows were solemn: "After all, General Jing was the one who had that thought."

If Xiao Jining wanted to secure the throne, he had to be on guard against Jing Yuan.

But Xiao Jining never expected that a smooth person like Wen Yu would not say such a thing - at least not now, when he and Jing Yuan saw that there was no quarrel at all.

"Bachelor Wen, just because you have this thought, doesn't mean you will definitely do it." Xiao Jining curled his lips, "For example, the question he asked Mr. Xie for advice—I guess, Mr. Xie's answer is: the royal family is chaotic, but the world is in chaos. Don't make a mess."

Wen Yu's pupils shrank slightly, worried that Xiao Jining would be dissatisfied with Prime Minister Xie, so he immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the teacher didn't say that."

"But he will definitely choose this way." Xiao Jining stood up a piece of rice paper on the dragon pattern desk, and pressed the edge of the rice paper with his fingertips.

The rice paper is hard and straight, and the edge is as thin as a knife edge. In fact, sometimes the rice paper is pulled too fast, and it can hurt people like a blade, but Xiao Jining just pressed it quietly, so the edge of the paper is just swaying. A shallow indentation was left on his fingertips, which would disappear completely once they were separated.

"Even if the blade is pointed at me and touches the blade, he may not hurt anyone. But as long as my sword is in my hand, it won't hurt me."

Regardless of whether Wen Yu reminded him out of wanting him to secure the throne to ensure his official career, or for some other purpose, Xiao Jining felt that what Xie said was right, Wen Yu did have some Xie style.

This kind of strength of character is not loyalty or keeping promises, but being able to stick to one's own heart and abide by a bottom line that cannot be crossed.

Xiao Jining put the rice paper away, stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the steps and stood in front of Wen Yu, pursed his lips and sighed: "Scholar Wen, you are the rare person I have met so far who is willing to tell the truth, I I appreciate you very much. It's just... General Jing has excellent ears, he can hear what we are talking about outside the hall."

Wen Yu: "..."

No wonder Jing Yuan left so resolutely, and was willing to let him and Xiao Jining talk alone in the Xuanzheng Hall. It turned out that he could hear it clearly even outside the hall. He really bullied them, literati who have no martial arts.

After reminding Wen Yu of those words, Xiao Jining passed him out of the Xuanzheng Hall, and left with Jing Yuan who was guarding the entrance of the hall.

Wen Yu looked back at the backs of the two of them. Jing Yuan was still walking behind Xiao Ji Ning by some distance behind the young man, without taking half a step. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few years ago. Listening to Xie Xiang and Jing Yuan talking from a distance like this, you can only see Jing Yuan's back, but you can't see the expression on his face clearly.

And the question that Jing Yuan asked Xie Xiang, just like what he said to Xiao Jining, Xie Xiang didn't say anything, didn't say anything.

Xie Xiang just asked Jing Yuan back: "I also have a question I want to ask General Jing."

Jing Yuan saluted respectfully before replying, "Thank you, Mr. Ma, for asking."

"The Great Xiao imperial family never treated you badly. If you could choose, what would you choose?"

"Indeed, the throne is not what I want." Jing Yuan smiled and thanked Xiang Xiang, "So I and Xie Xiang chose differently."

Xie Xiang is for the people, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne, so he chooses the royal family to make chaos and change the world for peace.

And what about Jingyuan?The royal family has no enmity with him, so he will not do anything directly, he will just sit and watch the princes fight among themselves, watch the world in chaos, and finally unify the world in one fell swoop.Unless he found something better than the throne, the throne at that time was worthless to him.

But is there anything better in this world than the throne?

So at that time, Wen Yu only felt that Jing Yuan was extremely vile. Wasn't he asking Prime Minister Xie such a question to force Prime Minister Xie to help him obtain the throne?Otherwise, Prime Minister Xie can only watch helplessly while the royal family kills each other, and the Great Xiao is divided by civil strife; and if Jing Yuan really has no interest in the throne, why would he ask Prime Minister Xie such a question?

"The teacher is indeed right." Wen Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, "The officialdom is unpredictable, and the emperor's heart is hard to guess."

On the other hand, although Xiao Jining didn't take Wen Yu's words to him to be careful about Jingyuan, he would still pay attention to other things, such as the change of the army stationed in Beijing mentioned by Wen Yu.

On the way back to the Golden Dragon Hall from Shoukang Palace, Xiao Jining directly asked Jing Yuan: "General Jing, Wen Yu said that there is a change in the army stationed in Beijing?"

"Yes." Jing Yuan didn't hide anything from Xiao Jining, and said in a slightly solemn tone, "Within this month, Jing Yue will definitely force the palace."

"Within this month?" Xiao Jining was stunned for a moment, "So soon?"

"The 27th of this month is Concubine Zhen's birthday." Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining, "In a few days, she will definitely ask to see you, saying that she misses her son, and asks you to call the Seventh Prince back to Beijing to be with her .”

Xiao Jining murmured softly, and continued what Jingyuan said, "And if Jingyue launches a mutiny during this period, kill me. Then when the Seventh Brother returns to Beijing, he can logically get rid of Jingyue for me. Revenge, and then ascend to the throne."

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "That's right."

"But it doesn't make sense." Xiao Jining frowned and shook his head, "If Jingyue forces the palace at this time, he won't get any benefits at all, it's just helping Seventh Brother to ascend the throne."

Jing Yuan pulled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "So this isn't your war, but Concubine Zhen and Jing Yue's."

"Jingyue will not allow the Seventh Prince to return to the capital successfully. During this period, he will definitely send assassins to assassinate the Seventh Prince. Once the Seventh Prince dies, Jingyue can sit back and relax."

Xiao Jining continued to shake his head after hearing the words: "It still doesn't make sense."

He took a few steps forward, looked at the tall vermilion palace walls in the palace, and said doubtfully, "Duke Zhen dared to ask me to summon the Seventh Prince back to the palace, it must be because she was sure that there would be a mutiny in the capital, and she Without military power, all the soldiers in the capital belong to the Jing family, without soldiers, even if Brother Seventh Emperor returns to Beijing smoothly, she will have no way to fight against Jing Yue."

"She doesn't." Jingyue snorted, "I have."

Xiao Jining suddenly stopped and looked at Jing Yuan, only to hear him slowly say: "The 20 Beijing troops stationed in the north, half of them belong to me, and the other half belong to Jing Yue. A few days ago, I killed a few people from Jing Yue , that’s why there will be changes in the troops stationed in Beijing.”

Jing Yuan raised his eyes and saw Xiao Jining staring at him in a daze, the expression on his face softened a lot, he spoke to Xiao Jining softly, and was interested in joking with Xiao Jining: "Don't worry, brother Jingyuan is just you Alone."

Xiao Jining couldn't laugh, of course he knew that Jingyuan couldn't really cooperate with Concubine Zhen and help Concubine Zhen kill himself, but why did Concubine Zhen dare to be so sure that Jingyuan would cooperate with her?

Xiao Jining asked Jing Yuan: "Did she threaten you with something?"

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes, looked at Xiao Jining quietly, and said in a low voice after a long time: "She has the antidote in her hand."

Xiao Jining clenched his fists when he heard the words, and said with red eyes, "I knew it..."

"Yes, I think you should have guessed it, otherwise, how could our Jing family win the trust of successive emperors?" They have already entered the Golden Dragon Palace, and they are all here. He directly hugged the man into his arms, stroked his back and coaxed him, "Don't be afraid, the poison on my body has been cured, and nothing will happen. I'm just planning to kill Jing with the help of Concubine Zhen." It's just a battleaxe."

The change of the army stationed in Beijing is a game between Jingyuan and Jingyue.

After the imperial examination this time, Xiao Jining has already started to promote his favorite ministers to the court. The longer the time goes by, the more powerful Xiao Jining will become. Regardless of whether it is Xiao Jining or the Seventh Prince, it is still important for Jing Yue. Not the biggest threat.

His biggest threat is Kyung Won.

Jingyue could feel that Jingyuan was eroding his power little by little, and he could also feel that Jingyuan was becoming more and more difficult to control. He couldn't wait until he completely lost control of Jingyuan, so he planned to fight to the death within this month.

After all, if he succeeds, he will be the emperor; if he loses, there will be no difference between his current ending and his future ending.

Therefore, Jingyue had to launch a mutiny. Concubine Zhen, who learned that he was going to mutiny, would never let go of this excellent opportunity to help her son ascend the throne. She used the antidote as a bargaining chip and asked Jingyuan to help her kill him. Jing Yue.

And Xiao Jining.

After Jing Yue died, as long as Xiao Jining died, the next emperor would be her son.

But even if Jing Yuan refuses to help her kill Xiao Jining, it's okay, anyway, she doesn't intend to let Jing Yuan live until her son ascends the throne.
