I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"The two lieutenants knew that Rong Jiao could not be captured, otherwise Prince Rong would have even more excuses to lead his troops. For this reason, they fought tooth and nail to rescue Rong Jiao."

After Wen Xu's words fell, he felt a little clogged in his heart, and for a while he couldn't continue talking.

What happened on the border back then was so tragic that he still doesn't want to think about it.

Seeing Wen Xu's appearance, the others obviously thought of what happened at the border.

Xuanyuan Ke couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He had heard a little about the border affairs, but he didn't expect that there were such twists and turns.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, this matter still lies with the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor's fear, how could Zhang Siyuan be in such an embarrassing situation?

But the emperor was not only his father, but also the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

Xuanyuan Ke only realized this a few years ago. It was just that he was too far away when he realized it, which resulted in such a situation in the court.

Wen Xu took a deep breath and then looked at Pei Yuan again.

"After this incident, General Zhang planned to send Rong Jiao back to the capital. No matter what, sending Rong Jiao back to the capital is the best choice."

"However, General Pei didn't know about this. General Pei thought that Rong Jiao and General Zhang just had a simple quarrel and ran towards Fanbang."

"But judging from what happened afterwards, if I guessed correctly, Rong Jiao went towards Fan Bang on purpose."

As Wen Xu's words fell, the entire study became quiet.

Everyone looked at Wen Xu in disbelief. No one expected that Wen Xu would say such a thing.

Even Pei Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Wen Xu with a frown on his face.

Previously, Wen Xu had only told him that Rong Jiao ran out of the camp on her own. He thought that Rong Jiao accidentally ran into Fanbang's chassis because of a quarrel with Zhang Siyuan.

But now Wen Xu's words made him overturn all his previous guesses.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Wen Xu did not explain directly, but looked at Zhang Siyuan.

Seeing Zhang Siyuan nod, Wen Xu sighed.

"At that time, General Zhang was suffering from a serious illness, which was not only fearful to the prince, but also to His Majesty."

"And among General Zhang's army, other than General Zhang, the ones with the strongest leadership ability are the lieutenants."

Wen Xu's words were not loud, but they made everyone's hearts tremble.

"If we eliminate several lieutenants, it will be the same as breaking General Zhang's right and left arm."

When Xuanyuan Ke heard this, he stood up suddenly.

He had also investigated matters at the border before. Although he knew that the matter at the border was strange, Rong Jiao was involved in it, so he could not continue to investigate.

Now that he heard Wen Xu's words, Xuanyuan Ke realized what he had overlooked.

In this contest, their attention was focused on Zhang Siyuan and Prince Rong, but they only forgot about the emperor in the palace.

If his guess was correct, he might actually do this based on his father's initial suspicion of military commanders.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that while Zhang Siyuan and the others were working on how to protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and defend the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his father, the emperor, was secretly plotting against these generals?

Thinking of this possibility, Xuanyuan Ke felt that his breathing was a little difficult.

Even the usually indifferent King Ling couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

He thought he understood the emperor, but now, it made him a little more confused.

Does he really understand the emperor?

It was clear that his imperial brother was a rare and wise master who was capable of both literary and military skills, and he was by no means the current emperor who was full of calculations and guesses.

Prince Ling's hand holding the folding fan could not help but tighten a little. If the emperor's brother really attacked the soldiers on the border, then he would not be worthy of sitting on this throne.

King Ling, who had always been a non-competitor, now had a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

Although he has traveled around for so many years, he has also heard some ridiculous things about the emperor.

However, King Ling never took these things to heart, but now listening to Wen Xu's words, King Ling felt that the court no longer needed to be a benevolent king.

If the emperor really didn't know about the bloody turmoil in the court, he would probably become a foolish emperor.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Ke realized that something was wrong.

"This matter must not have been instigated by my father."

Xuanyuan Ke's words were so firm that the eyes of Zhang Siyuan, Ling Wang and others all fell on him.

Prince Ling looked at his eldest nephew who suddenly became angry and couldn't help but tease him.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty was quite fond of the former Princess Chaoyang, otherwise he would not have personally awarded her the title of Princess. It's just that some people are so blessed in life that they don't know the blessings."

Xuanyuan Ke naturally understood what King Ling meant, but he couldn't really follow King Ling's train of thought.

The uncle he was eating was naturally alert, and Xuanyuan Ke was really worried that he would be led astray by her accidentally.

"My father does love Rong Jiao, but Rong Jiao is not a grateful person. Do you think she would abandon her biological father to help us, Da Zhou?"

Everyone shook their heads, they had already known about Rong Jiao's selfishness.

Xuanyuan Ke felt relieved when he saw that no one spoke.

"Even if my father has other ideas, I'm afraid Rong Jiao and Prince Rong will not listen to his orders."

"My father wants to use this to separate Rong Jiao and General Zhang, so that the chance of Prince Rong and General Zhang joining forces will be reduced."

"If I am not wrong, it is not the father who obeys orders, but Prince Rong. After all, Prince Rong only has a daughter with a higher reputation than Rong Jiao."

"If this is the case, then the person who wanted to get rid of the several lieutenants was not my father, but Prince Rong."

When everyone heard Xuanyuan Ke's words, they nodded in agreement.

Although the original emperor was afraid of Zhang Siyuan, he would not let Zhang Siyuan and his relatives die inexplicably.

And if he really wants more military power from Zhang Siyuan, it is just a matter of words to the emperor.

Thinking of this, everyone's worries were relieved.

As long as the emperor has no murderous intentions towards Zhang Siyuan, they will indeed feel much more at ease.

If the emperor had any murderous intention towards Zhang Siyuan, Zhang Siyuan's safety during this expedition could not be guaranteed.

Wen Xu nodded, "General Zhang and I didn't know who the mastermind behind this incident was. We just guessed that it might be Prince Rong or His Majesty. But this time Madam Zhu took out the metal arrowhead from Zhang Jingjun's retired president. It also confirmed our original guess.”
