At this, Pei Xian fell silent for a moment, and had to admit this.
"So the Second Prince had enmity with the traditional faction long ago?"
"Pei Chengyun nodded: "The elite forces sent by the traditional faction were mostly killed by the Second Prince. They no longer have the ability to contend with the Sixth Prince within the Daqi territory, so they turned to the Third Prince."
"Second Prince is really capable." Zhao Jin sighed.
When there is something to be done, he really steps up.
Luckily, he managed to eliminate most of the conservative faction's elite forces. Otherwise, if they were to collaborate with Third Prince again, even if Sixth Prince were to come back, they would probably suffer heavy losses. Pei Chengyun wouldn't have just suffered a superficial injury.
"According to his consistent style, shouldn't he have used the elite of the conservative faction to assassinate the Sixth Prince first, and then take advantage of the situation to get rid of the conservative faction, killing two birds with one stone?" Pei Xian quickly thought of another point.
Zhao Jin calculated the time: "If the Sixth Prince is either in the outskirts of the capital or in the capital, the possibility of successfully assassinating him is too low. If the conservative faction catches wind of it, it could backfire. On the other hand, the Fifth Prince has been seriously injured by the conservative faction, so it would make sense for the Second Prince to make a decisive move."
"Indeed." Pei Xian nodded, "But I didn't expect the Third Prince to have such courage."
It must be noted that if he fails, with the Sixth Prince's methods and power, he and the Empress Dowager and her son may end up going straight to the west.
Pei Chengyun took a sip of tea and said lightly, "The benefits promised by the conservatives to the Second Prince have been considerable. After being severely damaged by the latter, they are now eager for revenge, offering even more to the Third Prince. It's not surprising that he would be tempted by the lure of money."
"It must be more than just money," Pei Xian guessed. "If the conservatives hate the second and sixth princes so much, they must be trying to get rid of them by any means necessary. The third prince may have a hand injury preventing him from ascending the throne, but that doesn't mean he can't wield significant power."
She paused for a moment, seeing Pei Chengyun smiling at her, and continued, "If they promise to fully support the Third Prince in becoming the Governor of Tuer after the death of the Fifth Prince... he should find it hard to refuse."
The second-grade governor is already a local official, let alone under the management of the fifth prince, Tuer now has most of the power in the hands of the governor, including all military power.
...The temptation is undeniably great.
As a prince, who hasn't dreamed before, especially when all the younger brothers have their own accomplishments, even the seventh prince, who is brainless, is respected by court officials, and life is sometimes enjoyable.
The more suppressed the first half of life is, the more powerful the rebound will be.
In the past, he had to withdraw from the fight for the throne partly because of his innate limitations, but it doesn't mean he lacks ambition, just lacks an opportunity.
The wealth and power are right in front of him, it's not surprising that he would be tempted.
Pei Chengyun's gaze towards her was also appreciative: "Indeed, that's why even though the risk is great, the Third Prince still went all out. After all, he is a prince, even without power, he still has the ability to arrange several batches of assassins. In addition, there are traditionalists helping in secret, and with the people of the Second Prince and the Prince of Anyang, it made the journey for me and the Sixth Prince much more difficult."
Zhao Jin couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard him count the overwhelming number of dead enemies of the Sixth Prince.
Provoking so many mortal enemies based on ability, in a certain sense, the Sixth Prince can be considered capable.
Cui Xian asked again, "Does the Second Prince know that the Third Prince has teamed up with the conservative faction and is preparing to assassinate the Sixth Prince?"
Cui Chengyun was unusually uncertain: "I don't know either, but after his men attacked us with all their might three times, they eased off the offensive, and the latter half of the journey was mostly the Third Prince's men."
After some thought, he whispered, "I think the second prince should have known at that time. Judging from his attitude, if the sixth prince survived after multiple ambushes, he would come back to deal with the third prince and the conservative faction. If the sixth prince is not capable and dies on the way, he will take action to eliminate the third prince and his followers."
In simple terms, during the second half of their journey back to the capital, the Second Prince was basically in a position of watching the tigers fight from the mountain.
Pei Xian raised an eyebrow slightly: "For him, is it more urgent to get rid of the Third Prince and the conservative faction led by Tu'er than to get rid of the Sixth Prince?"
The second prince is not actively doing anything, but not doing anything is already considered a form of concession. Otherwise, he could have fully coordinated with the other side to kill the sixth prince, instead of letting things take their own course.
“There is still a chance to take down a rival, but making enemies take an extra breath is a disservice to oneself,” Zhao Jin casually said, “The conflict between the Second and Sixth Princes is just a matter of interests, not a matter of life and death.”
The Second Prince obviously can distinguish between the primary and secondary contradictions.
Zhao Jin turned his head and asked Pei Chengyun, "What evidence did Minister Min submit?"
Pei Chengyun said, "It was the assassin who attacked the Empress that day. He was affiliated with the Third Prince. Minister Min traced his connection to the Third Prince and, following the investigation, combined with the evidence provided by the Sixth Prince, it was easy to trace back to the Third Prince."
Seeing Zhao Jin looking surprised, he explained, "The Third Prince has been idle for many years, and his abilities are not outstanding. With only the old-fashioned assistance of Tuer, he cannot achieve the clean results of the Second Prince."
So the heavy responsibility of taking the blame for the large gang fell on him.
But he was not wronged.
Zhao Jin raised an eyebrow slightly: "So regarding the assassination attempt by the Prince Anyang, we just leave it at that for the Sixth Prince?"
When it comes to Prince Anyang, Pei Chengyun's expression was somewhat complicated: "Prince Anyang... is too straightforward. The assassins he sends are all from his own mansion guards, so it's much easier for us to handle."
Zhao Jin twitched at the corner of her mouth: "This is not simple."
She believes that even the Seventh Prince knows that killing requires destroying the body, and assassination requires covering one's tracks.
Pei Chengyun continued: "He was seduced by the Second Prince, only wanting to seek revenge for the woman, but his brain and strength are not enough. The Sixth Prince does not intend to do anything to him."
Zhao Jin: "......"
Do you think I look like someone who believes in revenge?
The Sixth Prince doesn't care about the grudge of being assassinated? What a joke.
Is he supposed to have the saintly heart of repaying grievances with kindness?
"The second prince originally planned to push him out as a scapegoat, but now that we have a third prince, there is no need for that." Pei Chengyun smiled, "It seems like Prince Anyang still has some value."
Zhao Jin nodded.
She also felt that if she directly pulled out those guards from the Prince Anyang's mansion, those old foxes in the court would probably think more about who is framing and framing whom.
No one would be stupid enough to attempt assassination and act openly with their real identity.
Even if this is a fact.
"Does the Second Prince know that the guards sent by the Prince of Anyang are from his own mansion?" asked Zhao Jin suddenly.
"...I didn't know before, but I should know now."
“……”
Zhao Jin was particularly silent today.
For some reason, she was starting to feel a bit sympathetic towards the Second Prince.
If the Third Prince doesn't take action, when the evidence of the assassination by Prince Anyang is presented, it is likely that most people will condemn him - everyone will only think that the Second Prince, who is the most suspicious, framed the mentally handicapped Prince Wang.
Although it is indeed the case.
This wave belongs to the long day of hunting geese, but one day it will be pecked in the eye by a goose dumb enough not to turn.
Zhao Jin shook his head and suddenly paused: "The assassin is from the Third Prince, so the one colluding with Princess Xiaochun is also the Third Prince?"
"So the Second Prince had enmity with the traditional faction long ago?"
"Pei Chengyun nodded: "The elite forces sent by the traditional faction were mostly killed by the Second Prince. They no longer have the ability to contend with the Sixth Prince within the Daqi territory, so they turned to the Third Prince."
