Who would raise a villain as a wife?

After looking at the current distribution of power in the court, He Yunjing deduced where Mo Wenhe might be and issued new instructions.

He sent a team of people who were good at disguise to infiltrate the brothel, get in touch with the young master of the Duke of Qin, flatter him, learn some details, and arrange a play.

It was probably that the young master of the Duke's Mansion fell in love with the daughter of the Minister of War at a banquet, flirted with her in public, and was seen by the young master of the General's Mansion.

The young master of the general's mansion and the little princess are cousins, so they will naturally not sit idly by. Then the young master of the Duke's mansion, under the hint of words, thinks that he and the little princess are in love with each other, because the royal party and government were threatened by the people of the general's mansion not to be on good terms with him.

Then the young master of the general's mansion and the young master of the duke's mansion started fighting. The young master of the duke's mansion naturally lost and was taught a good lesson.

On the third day, the young master of the General's Mansion was assassinated. The result of the investigation was that the young master of the Duke's Mansion was holding a grudge and was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. There was also a witness who heard with his own ears that the young master of the Duke's Mansion said that he would find someone to kill the young master of the General's Mansion.

It is well known that public opinion does not require evidence, especially in a world where there is not much evidence left. It only needs motive and vague human evidence to be confirmed, especially in the case of hiring a killer to kill someone.

Coupled with the struggle between the two parties, this alone is enough to make them move from secret calculations to open struggles.

What's more, the purpose of the General's Mansion is to defend the country, and the young master of the General's Mansion has a very good reputation on weekdays. This led to a comprehensive boycott of the Duke's Mansion. Jiang Lin's followers took the opportunity to impeach and carry out a large-scale sweep of Jiang Yuanqi's followers. Jiang Li secretly inserted many of his own people.

In the villa, He Yunjing ate a peach and looked at Fang Ji, the young master of the general's mansion, who was slowly waking up in front of him. "Write a letter and I'll have someone deliver it to the general's mansion to let them know that you are still alive."

Fang Ji was still a little confused when he woke up, and subconsciously touched his neck, "Why am I not dead?"

"The general is the foundation of the country. Your Highness does not have you in his plan." He Yunjing threw a peach to him, "But I will have to wrong you for a while. I will let you go back after the storm has passed."

Fang Ji frowned, "Is this what the Fourth Prince meant?"

"No, it's the Sixth Prince." He Yunjing stood up and began to fool him, "The Sixth Prince is not in a good situation now. If he wants to survive in the party struggle, he must choose a powerful prince to rely on. The Fourth Prince is the one he chose."

Fang Ji glanced at the peach in his hand and asked, "Why should I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm just following the Sixth Prince's orders. Because of your appearance, the court is now undergoing a large-scale replacement, and the Fourth Prince is now on par with the Second Prince."

Fang Ji reacted instantly. He was assassinated just after he made enemies with the Duke's Mansion. No matter who he was, he would think it was the Duke's Mansion's revenge.

Even if the General's Mansion and Jiang Lin both realized something was wrong, they would definitely put the blame on the Duke's Mansion. Were they being plotted against?

Fang Ji immediately became alert and looked at He Yunjing with a frown, "What on earth does he want to do?"

"Is it hard to guess?" He Yunjing sneered, "A life has changed the situation. Who do you think will eventually sit on the throne? You can also think about it. If there is no Sixth Prince, can the Fourth Prince defeat the Second Prince?"

How could Fang Ji not understand that Jiang Lin was no match for Jiang Yuanqi in terms of power in the court or planning, and he had been suppressed before. The situation only improved after Jiang Li came back.

If what He Yunjing said was true and Jiang Li was dreaming of the throne, then Jiang Lin and the General's Mansion were both his pawns to check and balance Jiang Yuanqi.

And now it was very simple for He Yunjing to confront him. He wanted to tell him that Jiang Li might not need their help to sit on the throne. It was just a matter of time.

But he can choose to persuade the Shogunate to change its position and gain greater power after Jiang Li ascends the throne.

Of course, this is also risky. The General's Mansion and Jiang Lin at least have a blood relationship, but have nothing to do with Jiang Li.

This kind of contractual relationship is unreliable, but Jiang Lin is indeed no match for Jiang Yuanqi or Jiang Li.

There are only two possible outcomes: Jiang Lin fails and the General's Mansion is convicted, or they change sides and submit to Jiang Li, and maybe Jiang Lin's life can be saved, and he can become a leisurely prince in the future instead of being killed by Jiang Yuanqi.

Fang Ji quickly figured it out. He looked at He Yunjing and asked, "Why do you think the Sixth Prince can defeat the Second Prince?"

"Because the second prince is not the emperor's biological blood."

Fang Ji's eyes widened, "What did you say?!"

He Yunjing held up his chin and continued, "And His Majesty the Sixth Prince will never have an heir in this lifetime, which means that there must be a candidate among the current batch of princes that His Majesty the Sixth Prince can trust and who is capable of inheriting the throne before he abdicates.

My choice is Jiang Lin. With his relationship with the General's Mansion, he has the absolute power to suppress the rebellion. Of course, if you are not loyal enough, you will not be able to wait until that day. I can destroy the entire General's Mansion at any time and replace it with a new person. "

"If that's the case, why not change it now?!"

He Yunjing raised his eyebrows. "The situation is tense now. If the old generals are replaced temporarily, the army will lose morale, and the Northern Kingdom will probably take the opportunity to send troops. What the Sixth Prince needs is a stable Lin Kingdom, not a king who could lose his country at any time."

Fang Jineng roughly understood what He Yunjing meant, but he couldn't understand why He Yunjing could tell him all this so without reservation.

He Yunjing was too straightforward, giving him a positive answer and a perfect future. This was undoubtedly a temptation, and it also exposed the importance of the General's Mansion to Jiang Li.

This kind of negotiation should be very easy to be caught and exploited, but He Yunjing spoke calmly and easily, as if he didn't care at all whether he was just pretending to be submissive, and he was not afraid of being stabbed in the back by the General's Mansion later.

It was as if He Yunjing was absolutely sure of controlling the General's Mansion and would eliminate it if there was any betrayal.

Moreover, He Yunjing only mentioned the most important use of the General's Mansion, that is to say, once the Lin Kingdom is stabilized, their General's Mansion can be replaced at any time.

This was a huge gamble, but Fang Ji inexplicably felt that it was worth a try. He looked at He Yunjing and said, "I want to see the Sixth Prince and talk to him in person!"

He Yunjing was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Please let us see your sincerity and value before meeting His Highness."

After saying that, He Yunjing left and praised the person who had done the job this time, saying that he had done a good job and that he could continue to do such things in the future.

Jiang Li also got the news in the palace. He didn't know about He Yunjing's plan before and was quite surprised. At the same time, he felt that He Yunjing was a bit mean and would really use any tricks.

After seeing He Yunjing preparing to recruit the General's Mansion, he fell into a moment of contemplation and quickly guessed the intention. This was to use the General's Mansion to check and balance the Northern Army, and also to stabilize the court and the people's hearts.

Jiang Li accepted it well. Although he could get the throne in his own way, as He Yunjing said, the throne obtained in that way would not last long. This was good.

Reality also proved that his choice was correct.
