Chapter 489 Reversal? [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
In fact, Liang Yue might have also thought of what Liang Fuguo had in mind, but he just didn't say it out loud.
It's hard to say about this kind of thing after all.
But he believed that Liang Fuguo could also think of it, and he had some tacit understanding in this regard.
It's just a reverse thinking. If the eldest prince's disappearance was caused by Xishan Society, Emperor Mu Beidi would take the opportunity to purge Xishan Society, and then check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue to see whether it was true or false that the Ministry of Revenue had no money, and whether Xishan Society had set up a trap to disrupt the battle for Bashan and murder the eldest prince... This is normal.
So, what if the investigation of the Ministry of Revenue’s accounts was led by the Xishan Society?
Is it possible that the whole thing is actually the other way around?
The disappearance of the eldest prince was not caused by the Khe San Society, but they were purged because of this incident, and the people of the Khe San Society would inevitably be suspicious.
Could it be that the emperor himself did this?
Is it possible that the Ministry of Revenue’s lack of money was a trap set by Emperor Mu Beidi himself?
This may sound incredible, but from the perspective of the Khe Sanh Society, after several years of brutal purges and repeated attempts to redress in vain, it is inevitable that such thoughts will arise. Is it possible that the purge of the Khe Sanh Society was originally part of this situation?
At first glance, it seems that the eldest prince might have been killed by Emperor Mu Beidi, but it is also unlikely that Emperor Mu Beidi killed the eldest prince.
Thinking of this, Liang Yue touched his head and felt it was inexplicably pointy.
If you think about the background of the matter carefully...
At that time, Tang Wei's military might was unrivaled in the world. In order to suppress him, Emperor Mu Bei supported Jiang Zhenye, but he could only fight simple battles like the one against Yunxiang Kingdom.
After Bashan started to make trouble, Emperor Mubei sent other people there, and several generals took turns to fight, but they were unable to clean up the situation for several years, which made Bashan grow stronger and stronger. This is why Tang Wei, who was willing to sign a military order, came out again. After Tang Wei went to Liangzhou, he gradually eliminated Bashan's forces. In the end, he used his usual strategy again, leading his army to surprise attack Bashan's base camp and leaving his own Liangzhou capital Yuguan City to the opponent.
If the defenders in Yuguan City had enough military supplies and food, they should be able to hold out until the army led by Tang Wei breaks through Bashan and returns in triumph.
Unfortunately, support from the rear was delayed, which led to the fall of Yuguan City. Even though Tang Wei also won a great victory in the front, it was just a change of victory and defeat.
This outcome made him unable to suppress Bashan anymore, but on second thought, if he won this battle again, the court would no longer be able to suppress Tang Wei. With his prestige in the army, it would be easy for him to be suddenly covered with a yellow coat when the weather turned cold.
From a certain subtle perspective, perhaps this is the result that Emperor Mu Bei would most like to see.
So, is this outcome really a coincidence?
Especially Liang Yue knew that there were some gossips between the eldest prince and Concubine Ye.
Thus, although Bashan was not completely destroyed, his momentum was blocked, and he occupied at most half of Liangzhou; Tang Wei issued a military order but failed to win, so he had nothing to say and was willing to stay indoors in his mansion; the eldest prince disappeared, and a royal scandal was resolved...
With an invisible big hand behind you, all three things can be figured out!
It is not a kind of three links.
Oh, not only that, you can also use this as an excuse to purge the Xishan Society.
Because this looks like something that the Khe Sanh Gang would do, and if it is framed on them, it will not arouse any suspicion at all.
However, after experiencing the catastrophe, the innocent Xishan Society finally suspected that it was Emperor Mu Beidi who directed and acted out the whole thing. So the remaining forces took the opportunity to initiate a major audit of the Ministry of Revenue, wanting to see if Emperor Mu Beidi was lying, but they found nothing.
But Guo Fuming, who was hiding in the Ministry of Revenue, died soon after. Perhaps he was exposed in this incident.
From this perspective, everything makes sense. The more Liang Yue thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. However, in this case, Mu Beidi was a man with a deep and scheming mind that was a little scary.
After all, even Liang Fuguo's evaluation of him was that he was extremely merciful in the court struggle...
Could such an old fox be fooled by him?
Alas?
Liang Yue suddenly thought of something wrong. He first knew about the treasury case from the treasury silver that the cloth shop spit out. Because he believed that the matter was related to the Xishan Society, he gradually came into contact with this organization.
But if the mastermind behind this case was changed, then the treasury silver and Nangong Xue who joined the "Xishan Society" and killed people along the way would all be reversed...
She had indeed never said that she was working for the Xishan Society. It was just that she had used Zhurong Fire to kill people twice to silence them, which made people associate her with the past. If the subject was changed, then all the previous things would have to be considered from a different perspective...
This thought made Liang Yue's hair stand on end for a moment.
What is the truth?
……
What happened back then was really confusing, and it seemed hard to find a reasonable explanation. Even for Liang Yue, it was hard to guess the general picture without more evidence.
But if Mu Beidi is really the mastermind behind these things, then it would be really difficult to deal with.
The authority of Emperor Mu Bei in the Yin Dynasty is still difficult to shake. Without the High Priest and Master Zhang Xuan, no one can directly overthrow this emperor. Even if something is found out, it is difficult to make it public.
And now it is not a question of whether Liang Yue dares to continue investigating, but the clue seems to be cut off when it reaches Guo Fuming. The events of that year happened too long ago, and the files are not clear. It is impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to investigate a water monster murder case that happened almost ten years ago.
He was thinking about these questions as he walked home side by side with Liang Xiaoyun. Liang Xiaoyun could see that her brother was thinking about something, so she didn't say anything to disturb him.
Just as the two were about to return to Ping'an Alley, an ancient black carriage stopped in front of them.
The driver had a serious expression on his face and said nothing. He just lifted the curtain and revealed a faint smile on his face. "Liang Xianguan, can you please get in the car and chat for a while?"
"Your Excellency is..." Liang Yue looked at the other party suspiciously.
The middle-aged man in the car nodded slightly and said, "My name is Shen Guizang."
Liang Yue had naturally heard of this name. It was said that Shen Guizang was a commoner who repeatedly influenced the country's destiny. He was able to establish great prestige in the early days of Emperor Mu Bei's reign. It was not an exaggeration to say that Shen Guizang had half the credit.
However, he never served as an official in the court and rarely showed up in public, so not many people knew him.
Although he was a commoner, even the bigwigs in the first and second rows of the court had to be polite when they saw him, not to mention Liang Yue, the Dragon Beard Master.
So he returned the gift and asked, "Sir, why did you come to see me?"
Shen Guizang said nothing and glanced at Liang Xiaoyun beside him.
Liang Xiaoyun naturally understood the situation and smiled politely, "Then I'll go home first."
After she left, Shen Guizang said slowly, "I may know a thing or two about what Liang Xianguan has been investigating recently."
