Chapter Twelve The Dust Settles(1/3)
The next night, the first hour of Hai.
Prince's uterus.
In the study room of the West Chamber, the prince was sitting in front of the desk, reading at night with a book in his hand.
This is a habit he has developed for many years. If he has no social engagements, he will study behind closed doors or practice calligraphy every night to improve his literacy.
After all, the crown prince is the crown prince. If he doesn’t learn more skills, how can he control the world in the future?
Suddenly, my eyes darkened...
The prince was shocked, looked up and was shocked to find that someone had quietly entered.
The door was closed and the window was half-closed. What was important was that there were many guards and maids outside. How did this person come in?
If it were someone else, I was afraid that he would be so scared that he screamed, hiding while yelling at the same time and catching assassins.
However, the prince was the prince after all. Although he was frightened and uneasy, he was still calm on the surface and asked at the other party: "Who is your lord? Why did you break into the prince's uterus at night?"
"Haha, Murong Jing is in the middle of the night and it is a must. Please don't blame the prince."
The prince was stunned and exclaimed in surprise: "Murong Jing? Could it be...you are a disciple of the Murong family?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed wise. I heard that you are a phoenix among the people. Today, I saw that you are indeed well-known. It is rare to be able to remain calm under such circumstances."
Upon hearing this, the prince couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you are really an assassin, you can enter the study quietly, what's the use of this palace panic?"
"Haha, it makes sense."
"I have long admired the name of the Rong family. I am fortunate to meet Mr. Murong today. I wonder what the young master is doing here?"
Mo Ziming sat down by himself and said with a serious expression: "The reason why I broke into the prince's uterus at night was because it was a serious matter and I had to do it."
"Oh? Since the Murong family can be alarmed, the situation must be serious. Can Mr. Murong make it clear?"
"Yes, the incident has to start twenty years ago..."
Mo Ziming began to slowly talk about Yu Wei's framedness and Prince Shun's conspiracy.
"Is there such a thing?"
When the prince heard Mo Ziming's story, he was shocked.
"Yes, I have obtained some evidence here. There is a list of batches here, which were compiled based on the Western Regions mage. They are all lists of some controlled ministers."
Mo Ziming took out a few pieces of paper and put them on the desk.
The prince hurriedly took it and looked at it, and his face became extremely solemn.
Because, the list above not only includes important officials in the court, but also generals and local officials in the army.
After reading it, the prince couldn't help asking: "I wonder if Mr. Murong has a way to confirm that the people on this list are indeed under control?"
"Of course there is a way. And, that's just what Zaru knows, and he doesn't know more."
"Oh my God, so how many ministers are under their control?"
The prince's heart sank.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry too much. To be honest, I and Shangshu Liu have already started to act to deal with this conspiracy."
"Ah? Liu Shangshu also knows?"
"Yes, it's just that with his own strength, it's impossible to turn the situation around.
Today, I am here to remind the prince that you need to be careful. Once we launch a counterattack, Prince Shun will definitely take action.
It is very likely that he will take action against His Highness and eventually achieve the goal of supporting the third prince to the throne."
"Third Prince? How could he support the Third Prince?"
"Does Your Highness understand yet? Let me say something benevolent, because the third prince is the most abominable and easiest to control, he is used by Prince Shun."
If this sentence is not the case if other ministers say it in front of the prince, Mo Ziming is not afraid.
Not to mention the prince, even in front of the emperor, what should the emperor say and what should the emperor do to him?
"This..." the prince frowned slightly, then sighed: "Yes, my third brother has never had any opinion and is indeed easy to be manipulated.
If Prince Shun really had this plan, then his ultimate goal was to support a puppet to the throne."
"So, at this time of storm, Your Highness must be extra careful and prevent the other party from jumping over the wall."
"Yeah!" The prince nodded and bowed to Mo Zi sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Murong, for reminding me that I must remember it in my heart.
However, it is of great importance. I think I should inform my father first to prepare in advance.”
Mo Ziming waved his hand: "No hurry, now is not the time. If you go to the emperor now, he may not believe it, or may make some actions to alert the enemy.
I have already started planning here and forced Prince Shun to take action.
Once Prince Shun starts to act, there will definitely be clues, and then your father will not believe it."
"Well, it makes sense. Then... I wonder if Mr. Murong is not convenient for me to talk about your plan?"
"Can."
Mo Ziming nodded.
"The first step is to destroy the opponent's killer organization first, so as not to send the opponent to silence the killer wildly.
Next, let the controlled ministers surrender the antidote, and let them lose their merits and sins to cooperate with our plan.
Of course, this requires a promise from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
As long as they are not guilty of the most serious crimes and those who are unparalleled will be repentant, as long as they sincerely repent, they will also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow them to commit their merits and be held accountable afterwards.
After all, there are too many officials involved, and it is impossible to kill them all."
"Okay! This palace will definitely report to my father at that time."
After talking to the prince for a while, Mo Ziming left quietly again.
After he left, the prince couldn't help but sit down and ponder.
The prince had no doubt about Mo Ziming's identity. After all, as the prince, he had never seen anyone?
This prince’s mansion is also protected by experts.
However, Mo Ziming came and went freely, which was definitely not something that ordinary people in the martial arts world could do.
What’s important is that when Mo Ziming heard what he said, it was indeed reasonable and well-founded, and it also made him feel enlightened and understood many things he had never understood before.
Then, it's time to prepare.
Let’s talk about it after Mo Ziming left, he also began to take action in a intensive manner.
A few days later, the world suddenly began to turmoil, and several escort businesses disappeared overnight. Some disciples of the world sects disappeared inexplicably or were exposed to the wilderness.
There are also some people who seem ordinary, who are not as ordinary as they are inexplicably killed.
In fact, these people are all killers of the Shadow Organization, and those escort businesses are also their secret strongholds.
As the leader of the martial arts world, Lin Zhennan is still a little confused about many secrets in the world.
In fact, he had already set his sights on this organization, but he had never taken it.
This time, the time has come.
After some planning, a thunder attack was launched at the same time on the strongholds at different locations of the organization, killing most of the opponent's hands, and the escapees also chased them with all their might.
In this way, the Shadow Organization, which Prince Shun has worked hard for many years, has basically collapsed, and even if there are escapers, they dare not show up in the world.
Because Lin Zhennan has issued a storm and lake pursuit order.
Once the Shadow Organization collapsed, Prince Shun became passive.
After all, he had many conspiracies carried out in shame, such as killing people to silence them.
Now that the Shadow Organization is missing, it will be much more passive.
The key is that after destroying the Shadow Organization, Prince Shun knew that someone was attacking him, so he had to fight back.
In this way, you can't sit on the Diaoyutai as firmly as before.
This is exactly the result that Mo Ziming needs.
Once Prince Shun starts to act, it will reveal flaws and allow him to collect more favorable evidence.
The game between the two sides was in full swing.
At the beginning, although Prince Shun was quite angry, he was also full of confidence, believing that his opponent was just using the power of the world to compete with him.
He had a great advantage. He had already penetrated the palace, officialdom, army, business, civilians, and the imperial guards in the capital. The other party was nothing more than an egg hitting a stone.
Little did they know that the development of things was far beyond his expectations.
Because he found that his words were not that good.
Those controlled officials should have definitely listened to him, but now they are beginning to sing opposites to them.
The most serious thing is that someone actually found out the old case of Yu Wei twenty years ago. Although he did not report it directly to the court, it began to spread around the court and the country.
As a result, Prince Shun was finally a little panicked.
To be continued...
