Chapter 300: Furious
After saying this, he handed over the secret letter that he was holding tightly in his hand.
After taking on the heavy responsibility, Xiang Li answered firmly: "I understand that I will complete the mission and live up to expectations."
Considering his usual cautious and serious work style, the old man had great confidence in his efficiency and did not give any more instructions. He only said: "Leave as soon as possible and try to get there early without delay."
In this way, the second young master left home and rode his horse to his destination.
When I arrived at the designated location and prepared to visit, I inexplicably felt some twists and turns and concerns in my heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he hid in a relatively hidden place and carefully tore open the envelope...
I saw densely packed words covering the white paper - all descriptions of the criminal facts and evidence collection against the opposition members!
This made Uncle Song suddenly realize something. Thinking about the good news that his eldest brother had brought before and the large-scale mopping-up operation that was currently being planned, all his doubts and questions were resolved.
At this moment, his knuckles had turned pale white, and he felt an unprecedented shock in his heart.
As the eldest brother who is the legitimate heir to the family, he is undoubtedly the best candidate; in comparison, what is the importance of being a younger brother?
The destiny of being assigned a supporting role since birth made it impossible for him to break free from the shackles and achieve transformation.
I remember that when I heard that my brother married the daughter of a merchant family in violation of the rules, I felt a hint of joy in my heart. Perhaps this flaw would help me turn things around and replace the other party as the core successor.
But when I returned to reality, I found that my father still favored my eldest brother and had not changed his position.
Even so, there is still a feeling of reluctance in my heart.
Why are so many people willing to take this dangerous path to seize power?
It's nothing more than seizing the opportunity to reverse the unfavorable situation and reach a higher level.
Since others can do it, why can't he give it a try?
Am I really going to be an ignored person in the Song family for the rest of my life?
This kind of depression and unwillingness was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart.
The eldest brother is so successful and almost everyone in the family revolves around him. Does that mean the future of the Song family can only be determined by the eldest brother alone?
This thought was like a burning flame, gradually spreading deep in his heart.
At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as torches, with a hint of fierceness flashing in them. This was not simply jealousy, but a determination that he did not want to be ignored or despised.
Then, he jumped onto the horse decisively and resolutely, whipped the steed to urge it on, and galloped towards the direction of Prince Xuan's palace. The sound of horse hooves broke the silent night sky and stirred up a cloud of dust.
When the news that the Song family had arrived spread throughout the palace like a whirlwind.
Soon, King Xuan sent someone to summon the young man who came suddenly to visit, and his urgency was evident in his words.
"Is there any news from Yan Yi?"
Before the other party could gain a firm foothold, King Xuan, whose emotions were already in turmoil, could not wait to ask.
Second Uncle Song smiled slightly, with a hint of unfathomable meaning hidden in his smile: "Your Highness has a keen eye and guessed correctly. My eldest brother did send a secret letter from afar. Please allow me to present it to you for review."
As he spoke, he respectfully but quickly handed the letter tightly clenched in his hand to the king in front of him.
The hands took the heavy information carrier, and then a pair of frowning eyes quickly scanned every line of handwriting. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. "Who is this for?"
King Xuan shouted these words almost in an interrogative tone, his tone showing his displeasure.
"Your Highness, this is not a direct gift to you. Judging from the contents, it should have belonged to Li Yushi's residence. From this, I can infer that my brother seems to have made some kind of decision. It is likely that he wants to eliminate those who are blocking his way forward."
Faced with such a sharp question, the second son of the Song family remained calm, with a barely perceptible sneer in his tone.
"It is estimated that the old minister Cai Zhong, who was once highly regarded by the prince, has been..."
The words that were not spoken were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing great waves in the hearts of everyone present.
Upon hearing this, King Xuan felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He stood there for a moment, not knowing how to react. Finally, all his hesitation was replaced by anger.
He stood up suddenly and kicked over the table in front of him that had been filled with documents and writing materials. His deep and deafening voice echoed throughout the palace: "How dare you! How dare you deceive me like this!"
Uncle Song immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in respect: "Your Highness is a great man, destined to ascend to the throne, admired by all the people; however, there are always some short-sighted people who cannot understand your foresight. My brother's behavior this time is really too much. Not only is it a violation of the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, it is also a blasphemy against your supreme grace."
Faced with such straightforward and inflammatory words, King Xuan became even more angry.
"I will never let these traitors off easily!"
At the same time, he gradually regained his senses and realized that the most urgent task was not to act bravely for a moment.
At this time, Second Uncle Song continued to persuade him: "We, the Song family, have always supported the legitimate heir to the throne. We pledged our loyalty to the prince out of justice rather than self-interest. I never thought that we would be betrayed like this... I hope the prince will think twice before acting."
He then suggested that his men first find out the truth and then make plans.
However, this proposal was quickly rejected. "If General Cai has been assassinated, it means that the other party has a powerful force in his hands. It will be difficult to gain an advantage if we attack easily."
Just as the situation was about to reach a deadlock, a soft voice floated into their ears, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I may have a way to solve the urgent problem."
King Xuan, who had lost his cool head due to anger, was furious: "How can a woman interfere in military affairs? Get out of the way!"
Even so, the reproach still failed to stop the speaker from moving forward.
Jiang Xuejun mustered up her courage and took a few steps forward. "The most important thing now is to buy time to find the opponent's loopholes...
For example, the concubine who is of humble origin but extremely favored by the other party, perhaps we can start from this aspect..."
This statement suddenly brightened King Xuan's gloomy eyes. "But how can we get close to that person? After all, her identity is sensitive and she rarely goes out..."
"New Year's Eve is a perfect opportunity. With the Queen in charge, it will be a lively occasion with everyone participating. We can make careful arrangements in advance and act quietly in the dead of night. I believe we will succeed..."
She spoke slowly and steadily, her voice soft and thin but firm and powerful.
Even if it is too late today, it doesn’t matter much, at most it can be postponed to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”
Cui Rong's lips curled up slightly, with a barely perceptible cunning and tenderness flashing in her eyes, and she responded softly.
Her voice was clear and melodious, like the first ray of sunshine penetrating the clouds in the morning, with a hint of warmth.
