All Hail Cousin Brother

Song Mingzhao was even more suspicious. Because he had just arrived and did not understand the situation in Quanzhou, he did not act rashly, but became more cautious.

Immediately afterwards, Song Mingzhao discovered that someone in the yamen was secretly watching him.

The other party acts very secretly, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

But Song Mingzhao is not an ordinary person, not to mention there are more than thirty masters hidden around him, and no trouble can escape his eyes.

It was self-evident who sent the person staring at him.

This also made Song Mingzhao confirm that there must be some ulterior secret behind the general martial law in Quanzhou.

The entire Quanzhou is under the rule of the Jiazhou Prefecture, and every move he makes is under the nose of the Jiazhou Prefecture. Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, let alone being far away from Quanzhao and losing the protection of the Zhenguo Houfu. He is now alone and alone. Now that he has just arrived, the Jiazhou government may be wary of him. As the prince of Zhenguo, he does not dare to act rashly and only dares to send people to keep an eye on him.

If he did something to threaten the Jiazhou Prefecture, I was afraid that the Jiazhou Prefecture would jump over the wall. Under the unclear situation, Song Mingzhao kept silent. He did not deliberately send anyone to inquire about the news in Quanzhou, so as not to alert the snake. Throughout the day, He was busy with the trivial matters of the yamen, as if he had no idea about the strange things in Quanzhou.

At the same time, he is also secretly paying attention to the trends in Quanzhou.

Until March, nearly two months after Song Mingzhao came to Dehua, Quanzhou was still under martial law, with no intention of lifting it.

Song Mingzhao already knew that Quanzhou had changed.

Song Mingzhao thought of it and found out earlier that the Jiazhou Mansion was related to the second prince. He had some suspicions in his mind and quickly took a map of Quanzhou to look at it.

Really smart people can often see the whole picture at a glance.

Song Mingzhao was horrified, and the clues about Liangzhou suddenly connected together in his mind.

It started five years ago when the Southern Barbarians invaded first. The King of Liang, who had always been brave and good at fighting, was seriously injured by the Nanman sneak attack and was defeated miserably. Not long after, good news came from Youzhou. Changxing Marquis won the battle in Youzhou, which caused a stir in the court. caused quite a stir.

When he discussed this matter with his father at that time, he was quite disdainful: "King You had won many battles in the beginning, but it was only mediocre. It was only because of the disastrous defeat of King Liang that the Marquis of Changxing showed his achievements and deserved it." To compare with King You, it’s ridiculous that the world is following the monkey’s lead!”

With comparison, there is a gap.

Soon after, King Liang sent his son to the capital, which shocked the world. What was even more shocking was that King Liang escaped unscathed and returned to Liangzhou safely.

When my father mentioned this matter later, he was worried: "Your Majesty is confused. You have set a precedent. If there is one, there must be the other. Isn't this a violation of the laws and regulations and a boost to the ambition of the vassal king?"

He said in an indifferent voice: "Rebellious ministers and traitors will definitely rebel later."

His father was shocked by what he said: "Why did you say that?"

He said to his father: "Since King You's rebellion was dealt with, which of the vassal kings in various places has not had people's hearts and minds? Looking at the wars of King Liang in recent years, he often lost his troops and generals. If he wanted the court to increase his troops, he would also ask for money and food from the court. You think that the case of King You has sounded the alarm to the vassal kings and scared their courage, so they have to show weakness to the court in order to protect themselves, and this is correct."

"However, the Mingjun Holy Lord is the one who is powerful and intimidating. He is edifying all over the world and is majestic both inside and outside. His Majesty is unkind, his position is not upright, and his virtue is not worthy of his position. Since he ascended the throne, he has not done anything good for the country. This move also inspired the vassal kings. Because of his rebellion, the King of Liang did not hesitate to seriously injure his son and send him to the capital. He tried to confuse the emperor with the sacrifice of his flesh and blood. He was trying to gain an opportunity for himself to plot rebellion. One day, the King of Liang would rebel and kill his son."

The meaning is very clear. If the person who kills "King You" is the Mingjun Holy Lord, this move is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. It is the majesty of heaven that kills the king. Naturally, the vassal king is afraid of the emperor's anger, so he will be honest. .

But how virtuous and capable are the saints today?

Killing "King You" showed not majesty, but cruelty and inhumanity, and it was the courtiers who were killed for the remaining concerns in their hearts.

The prince died and the king of Liang rebelled.

What King Liang gave to the court was not a pledge of loyalty, but a disobedient heart.

This is an excuse for the King of Liang to rebel in the future.

King You has learned from the past. When the prince dies in the future, it must be because the court failed to show his loyalty to the emperor. He was forced to rebel by the emperor. So what if this reason is untenable?

At least he is a famous teacher!

The father refused to believe it: "Since he is the eldest son, how can he give up so easily? You have to know that the concubine of King Liang comes from a well-known local family and is closely related to the interests of Pingnan Palace. If King Liang wants to give up the prince, first of all The princess and her mother’s family will not be able to pass this test.”

By giving up the crown prince, the first people whose interests will be harmed are the princess and her mother's family.

The significance of the eldest son often does not lie in the elder or younger, but in the interests involved behind them, resulting in the interests of the eldest son being inviolable.

This is the fundamental reason for the heavy inheritance.

Song Mingzhao still looked indifferent: "How did you know that the person sent to the capital must be the prince?"

The Marquis of Zhenguo was horrified: "Can this be faked? The vassal king asked for a title for the crown prince, and after reviewing it, there were dozens or hundreds of levels. If one or two levels were faked, how could hundreds of them be faked together? This is almost There is no possibility of forgery, and it is even more nonsense to use someone else to replace the prince and send him to the capital as a hostage."

Song Mingzhao believed it, but said: "What if this prince is fake from beginning to end?"

Marquis Zhenguo was suddenly stunned.

Song Mingzhao continued: "Since the King of Liang is rebellious, it cannot be just a day or two. He must have been preparing for this early in the morning. So from the time the "Crown Son" was born, he used the concubine as his legitimate son, used the concubine to invite the title, and used the concubine to grant the title. What's impossible about planning funeral arrangements?"

Song Mingzhao could guess that King Liang was going to rebel, and he could also guess that Jiazhou Mansion and King Liang colluded to control Quanzhou in order to make Quanzhou rich, and Xie Mansion, as the capital of Quanzhou, was the first to bear the brunt.

So the so-called Wangyang thieves who came to the city to kill people and set fires were probably a conspiracy against the Xie Mansion.

A total blockade means that water, land, and air are under martial law. Ships cannot enter. All land checkpoints are strictly guarded and impassable, and not even a bird can fly in.

Jiazhou could not do this, but Liang Wang could definitely do it.

Then Yu Youyao who is in Xie Mansion...

Song Mingzhao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and sat alone in the study all night.

In the second half of the night, he stared at the flickering lights, as if he had entered a half-awake dream.

Yu You died in the dream.

"Song Mingzhao" felt as if his heart was empty.

It was him who seemed to have his heart ripped out.

Not long after, he suffered from heart disease. His heart ached like a knife every time, and he couldn't sleep at night or day. The doctors were helpless.

On the day of Yu Youyao's funeral, a weathered man named Chang'an came over and said he was here to see Miss Biao off for the deceased young master.
