Chapter 903: The Dream of Becoming a Marquis and a Prime Minister
Listening to Leng Rongyue's remarks and opinions, not only Emperor Hong De, but everyone sitting at the table showed the same look of surprise in their eyes!
There was still pride in Emperor Hong De's eyes, pride in his own vision in choosing a daughter-in-law for his son;
Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his sons, grandparents and grandchildren looked at Leng Rongyue who was still able to talk freely in front of the current emperor, and they felt both proud and relieved.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyu was looking at this extraordinary girl in front of him, who seemed to be radiating dazzling light all over her body, and he felt extremely proud and honored!
This is his little princess, his most beloved little lover!
Everyone's enthusiastic gazes fell on Leng Rongyue, making Leng Rongyue feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
I haven’t finished what I just said!
So, Leng Rongyue tried hard to ignore everyone's gaze, coughed lightly, and continued, "From Prince Yi's perspective and his psychology, he must be extremely eager to get the throne.
If the timing is not right... then what kind of opportunity is he waiting for?
Wait until a satisfactory agreement is reached with those so-called external helpers?
Or... is there still a force in the Jingyue Kingdom that he thinks he must win over but has not been able to?
Or maybe... the resistance he wanted to remove hadn't been removed yet—
For example...the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion.
The black-clad assassins who were sent to Yunxiang Mountain by King Yi in the middle of the night should have been a risky operation to wipe out the whole family that he hastily planned and decided to carry out.
But that attempt to wipe out the entire family was unsuccessful.
Therefore, from that day on, he could only temporarily go into hibernation.
If those assassins in black had sneaked onto Yunxiang Mountain that night and truly achieved their goal...
I'm afraid... after that, important officials from other countries will meet with unexpected misfortunes one after another in the court!
The operation on Yunxiang Mountain failed. The reason why King Yi did not dare to continue for the second or third time... and instead went into hibernation, can only be... corresponding to the second point just mentioned... because his strength was not enough.
If there is not enough strength, then of course the time is not right!
If Prince Yi already had enough power, or in other words, the mysterious power behind him was very strong, strong enough to support his rebellion and usurpation of the throne, then why didn't he take action earlier, and instead quickly retracted his hands and feet and went into hibernation after that action?
The conclusion is that he is not strong enough.
Since Prince Yi himself believes that his power is insufficient, it means that the Emperor still has an absolute advantage.
Since the emperor has an absolute advantage, he also has the initiative.
Then you can choose the right time to strike first!
It's a cancer and it has to be eradicated sooner or later, so it's better to eradicate it sooner!
Before, perhaps one could say that there was no factual evidence, for fear of causing misunderstanding among the world.
Now... humph!
It was also because Xiao Jingyi was too greedy and coveted too many things that he shouldn't have coveted, so he acted rashly and disrupted his original plans and steps.
Since the plans and steps are messed up, even if they make adjustments to remedy the situation, the possibility of success will inevitably decrease!
Even if the emperor does not take any direct action against him and only treats him coldly;
Or like dealing with Zhang Jinyan, ignore him and just hit him around, and he will make up his mind based on specious ideas.
Then, even if he was scaring himself, he could still frighten himself to the point of panic and anxiety, making him restless day and night!"
"That's right!
Yue'er, didn't you see the dark circles under his eyes and his obviously thin cheeks!
It's obvious that he's having trouble sleeping and eating, and is exhausted!"
Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but interrupt as he listened to what Leng Rongyue said. Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his son also noticed the changes in Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi and nodded in agreement.
“I can imagine!
This shows his guilty conscience;
It can be seen that he lacks confidence!
This time, they overthrew the Second Assistant Minister and obtained Zhang Jinyan's confession record;
I believe that after searching the Cifu Mansion, we should be able to obtain some useful evidence.
Furthermore, everything that happened in front of the Anguo Mansion yesterday was in full view of everyone.
Everyone present witnessed with their own eyes how his wife, Prince Yi's mother-in-law, and especially his so-called cousin, Prince Yi, had disregarded the imperial court, treated the monarch with disdain, ignored the imperial edict, and disregarded the first-rank duke's mansion and the imperially appointed princess.
When people saw all this, they would naturally think... If it weren't for the support and connivance of King Yi, Xiao Jingyi, behind the scenes, how could they dare to be so lawless?
If Prince Yi had no rebellious intention to rebel against the emperor, how could he allow members of his Yue family to deceive the emperor and act so arrogantly?
With all of the above, in the eyes of the world, King Yi’s crime of treason has long been obvious!
Furthermore, Zhang Jinyan's confession in the prison revealed many of Prince Yi's accomplices in the court. They could truly be described as a mob.
They are all officials who are greedy for power, have ambitions, and are dissatisfied with their current official career situation. They delusionally dream of following the orphan of the former crown prince to start an uprising in the future and gain the merit of following the dragon. Therefore, they inexplicably dream of being granted titles and appointed as prime ministers.
But..."
