After waiting quietly for a while, Gongsun Ce wrote the imitated letter. Bao Zheng had someone pack the envelope and give it to the young eunuch, and then sent someone to deliver the letter to the gate of the palace.
After the young eunuch left, Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time the letter written by King Wei only mentioned the death of Kou Zhun and the defeat of Lan. He didn't seal it with sealant. Look. These messages are not important to the King of Wei."[]
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "King Wei doesn't think it is important, but it is extremely important to us. At least from the letter, we know that King Wei is related to Princess Lan of the Moutianhui. As for whether Queen Liu is related, we have to wait for Liu The Queen only knew the result after she saw the letter."
The prince couldn't help but ask: "Bao Zheng, what did you write in the fake letter?"
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "I only said three things in my letter. The first thing is that Princess Lan has been arrested and taken to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen Prison. The second thing is that Master Kou is dead. The third thing is that Lord Kou is dead." The first thing is that King Wei plans to send someone to rescue Princess Lan and Liu Jiwen."
Cui Wei said at this time: "It turns out that Mr. Bao's plan is to take advantage of their inability to connect head to tail, and then control their communication channels to constantly dig out the inside story of Moutianhui."
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "The suspects involved now are either ministers or relatives of the emperor. Without evidence and clues, it is difficult to uproot them. We just have to wait for them to get into trouble on their own and calm down, then we can It works wonders."
Zhao Zhen was obviously not willing to believe that Empress Liu would be involved at this time, and said noncommittally: "I will wait quietly for my mother to receive the false letter. I firmly believe that my mother has nothing to do with this matter."
Bao Zheng frowned and said: "In order to deal with emergencies in the future, we need to worry about a group of experts in making fake seals."
Although Zhao Zhen disagreed with Bao Zheng's suspicion of his mother, seeing that Bao Zheng needed help, he still ordered the people outside: "Go and secretly capture some of the most powerful carving masters in the capital."
The imperial guard outside the door immediately went to carry out Zhao Zhen's order. Seeing the displeasure on Zhao Zhen's face, Bao Zheng immediately wanted to persuade Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen knew what Bao Zheng wanted to say, so he waved his hand and replied: "Bao Zheng, if you want to persuade me because of my mother's affairs, then you'd better not say anything. At the moment, I only want the truth, and no matter what you plan, I will send people to carry out the steps, but you must not let me down. If we can wipe out all the rebels in Moutianhui this time, I will definitely tell my father to give you a promotion."
After hearing Zhao Zhen¡¯s words, Bao Zheng felt reassured. It seemed that this young prince was not a man who acted on his own initiative. At this moment, footsteps were heard again outside the door, and a messenger rushed to the court and said anxiously: "Ding Wei, Chen Pengnian, and others have gathered at the home of Privy Councilor Wang Xinruo. It seems that they want to do something." action."
After hearing this, Bao Zheng pondered for a moment and replied: "Continue to investigate immediately, pay close attention to every move of these people, and record them with pen and paper, including who they have met."
The messenger listened to Bao Zheng's instructions and immediately withdrew. Gongsun Ce immediately said: "Brother Bao, what do you think of the actions of Ding Wei and others?"
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "Among them, Privy Councilor Wang Xinruo was able to take charge of the army. They all came to Wang Xinruo's house at this time, and they were obviously aware of the crisis. But in my opinion, Ding Wei, Wang Xinruo and Liu Chenggui were actually all They are just chess pieces used by others. Even if they are extremely powerful ministers, they cannot support such a huge conspiracy."
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said at this time: "Bao Zheng, are you saying that King Wei is the mastermind of the Heavenly Meeting? Could it be that Ding Wei and Wang Xin are King Wei's pawns?"
Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "The King of Wei is a collateral relative of the emperor. Even if he had the intention, it is absolutely impossible to build the Moutian Meeting. To build such a huge Moutian Meeting, it must be possible only with the strength of the whole country." arrive,"
Zhao Zhen immediately said: "Bao Zheng, what do you mean?"
Bao Zheng explained: "What I mean is that behind the Moutian Society, it is very likely that it is an enemy country. And the people of the Song Dynasty, including Ding Wei and others, are actually very likely to be the chess pieces of the enemy country, unknowingly acting as pawn."
Cui Wei couldn't help but said: "Bao Zheng, what you mean is that the Conspiracy of Heaven is related to the neighboring hostile countries of the Song Dynasty. The countries currently hostile to the Song Dynasty include Liao and Xixia. Do you want to find out among the two countries? Who is endangering the safety of the Song Dynasty?"
Bao Zheng thought secretly in his heart: Even if I didn't say it, I knew that Xixia would invade the Central Plains soon in history, but the Liao Kingdom was because of the Tanyuan Alliance, and its own country was in chaos, so it had no time to pay attention to the Song Dynasty. However, although the Liao Kingdom has not committed any evil deeds for the time being, once chaos breaks out between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, the Liao Kingdom will definitely take advantage of the situation and plunder it This situation is obviously not what Bao Zheng wants to see. He wants to kill it all in his infancy. Now that the Song Dynasty's national power is weak, any unnecessary war will cause serious harm to the people.
Although Bao Zheng was thinking this in his heart, he couldn't say it clearly, because after all, what Bao Zheng knew was only known by reading history books in his previous life. If he told others about it, he would be too evil. .
At this time, many people gathered in the palace of Prince Wei. King Wei, who was in his thirties and handsome in appearance, was sitting at the head of the table, and dozens of people in the hall were arguing fiercely.
Among the people in the quarrel, the most emotional one was Wing King Zhao Weiji. If Bao Zheng could come to this hall, he would definitely hear what they were arguing about.
All the arguments on the hall will not leave a name, that is: Lan County master.
Seeing the commotion in the hall, King Wei couldn't help but slap the tea table and shouted: "Quiet down, everyone. Before it is confirmed whether Princess Lan is really killed, it is in vain for us to argue about anything."
Wing King Zhao Weiji said with some trembling in his words: "Brother! The highest executor of the Li family in the capital is Princess Lan. As soon as she disappears, we must contact the palace. This is too easy to expose. .¡±
King Wei's face was calm and he said calmly: "How could you mess up your position just because of an accident in the Li family? The Li family has been operating in the Song Dynasty for many years just to support us. At this time, the sudden death of Princess Lan was indeed unexpected Not yet, but the Li family obviously has other executors in the capital, and I think it won¡¯t be long before they take the initiative to contact us.¡±
Wing King Zhao Weiji said: "Brother, can we just sit and wait? Once Kou Zhun dies, if the Holy One knows about it, he will definitely go all out to investigate the matter thoroughly. I am afraid that we, the side branches, will be the first to be suspected. Brother, can you Don¡¯t forget how your father and uncle died!¡±
King Wei couldn't help but feel a chill after hearing King Yi's cold words. When King Wei and King Yi were still in their infancy, their father Zhao Dezhao and uncle Zhao Defang died at a young age. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the death of his father and uncle was caused by someone sent by Emperor Taizong.
