Chapter 12 New Conspiracy!

After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Yan took out the secret order in his hand and looked at it carefully.
I thought that all the Jinyiwei people would obey the commander, but I didn't expect that they would obey such a small secret order.
The Jinyiwei has served the emperor alone since its establishment. Now it seems that the Jinyiwei is not as simple as we thought.
"San De, take this order and my letter to the Northern Pacification Division and find their deputy commander. He knows what to do."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
After Sande left, Xiao Yan started thinking again. It would be difficult to get rid of Hu Zhenghe now that he held great power.
What's more, there are Hu Shanxiang and Xiao Ding behind him.
I need to gather my forces together immediately, otherwise it will be too difficult for me to do things now.
"The Imperial Guards are now at my service, so there is no need to worry. The Dali Temple has always been staffed by people trusted by the royal family, and the Silijian is even more so staffed by the most popular people in the palace."
"Obviously these people are loyal to my father, but not necessarily to me. I must find a way to subdue them!"
"Then let's start with you, Dali Temple Minister."
Compared to the Imperial Household Department, the Dali Temple is easier to conquer. They all value fairness, and as long as you are fair and impartial, you will gain their approval.
On the contrary, it is somewhat difficult for the Silijian, as they hang around in the palace all year round, traveling between various palaces and are very smooth.

It takes some effort to conquer them.
After a long time, Sande hurried back.
"How about it?"
Before Sande could even catch his breath, he said hurriedly, "Your Highness, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei has now temporarily taken over the position of commander. When I left, I had already started the investigation."
"I'm sure there will be results soon!"
Xiao Yan nodded after hearing this. This matter was of great importance. If it was not investigated clearly, Duan Tianya might very likely lose his life, and he would not be able to save him.
The most urgent task is to recapture the Dali Temple first.
"As soon as the Royal Guards have any news, notify me immediately. There is no time to lose!"
Sande knew that the situation was urgent. Duan Tianya's life was hanging by a thread. If it was not handled in time, he would surely die.
"I obey your command!"
"Second Prince, we have cut off one of Xiao Yan's hands this time . Without the Jinyiwei's investigation, it will be much easier for us to act."
Hu Zhenghe was very satisfied with the play he directed this time. All that remained was to see how Xiao Yan would finish the play.
Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I advise Grandpa not to be too happy too soon. Xiao Yan is not that simple."
"You must know what this Dali Temple is. Maybe this period of time will give you a chance to turn things around."
"Don't be careless!"
Hu Zhenghe disagreed: "Second Prince is just too cautious, otherwise you would have sat in this position long ago."
"Let's think about how to interfere with the disaster relief in the north!"
"If this thing succeeds, some people will be held accountable, and Wan Tongfu will be the first to bear the brunt!"
"As long as the people around Xiao Yan gradually disappear, the power will be in our hands!"
Xiao Ding gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said without even looking at Hu Zhenghe: "Wrong, it's mine, not ours!"
"There can only be one person who has the final say in this world, and that person is me!"
Hu Zhenghe knew that his grandson was very ambitious, but he never expected that he now even looked down on him.
You have to know that apart from himself, he, the second prince, is nothing, but Hu Zhenghe will not show it.
If I want to sit in that position, I can't do without him.
"Let's forget about hindering disaster relief. After all, the people shouldn't be dragged into this power struggle."
"But... Father is in poor health now, so we should give him some help!"
"Xiao Yan is getting more and more stable in this position, which is not what I want."
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"who?"

The door was opened from the outside, and Hu Shanxiang came in.
"You two, mother and son, visit consecutively late at night. Aren't you afraid that something might happen?"
You should know that concubines cannot leave the palace at will. Now not only the prince has come out, but the imperial concubine has also come out.
It would be hard to say what would happen if someone with ulterior motives knew about this.
But what they didn't know was that Xiao Yan already knew what they had done.
"Dad, we are in power now. As long as the emperor dies, Xiao Yan will not be able to stop us!"
“So it’s better to make a decision early!”
"If we wait until Xiao Yan firmly holds this position, we won't be able to push him over even if we want to."
“Then we will be the ones who suffer.”
Hu Zhenghe thought seriously after hearing this. It’s not that he didn’t want the emperor to pass away, otherwise what had he been planning for all these years?
What's more, His Majesty's current physical condition was the result of his own planning.
"Have you thought about it? If His Majesty dies, can you control the situation in the court?"
"This Xiao Yan is not as licentious and immoral as the rumors say!"
The reason Hu Zhenghe hesitated was Xiao Yan's sudden change. He was like a completely different person from the one he had met before.
Not only did he use thunder-like means to implicate more than 30 people on his side, but he also seized a large amount of money.
Even the Jinyiwei can be used by him. How could he not be afraid of him?
Even though he had set a death trap for Duan Tianya, there was more than just Duan Tianya in the Jinyiwei.
Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, no one knew how many people there were in Jinyiwei and how many masters there were in Jinyiwei.
On the surface, the commander-in-chief has the highest position, but who knows if there are any unknown secrets behind it.
"Don't worry, father. I have drugged my daughter more than once. If it doesn't work this time, I will give her a stronger dose."
"It was all a slow-acting poison. Sooner or later, it will kill the emperor, and Xiao Yan will be under our control."
"But things are different now. Xiao Yan is sitting more and more firmly in this position. Even if the emperor dies, I'm afraid it will be for his benefit."
"Why not take advantage of his foundation to maintain stability and do it in two ways? Give him some explosive news on one hand, and give His Majesty some on the other. After the two of them die of poison, will father still not be able to stabilize the government?"
After hearing this, not only Hu Zhenghe started to think, but Xiao Ding also started to think.
There are so many links involved in this, and if you are not careful it will be leaked, unless it is completely feasible.
"The emperor's side is easy to deal with. With you here, everything will be safe. But Xiao Yan's side is not that simple."
Hearing that Hu Zhenghe was willing to carry out her plan, Hu Shanxiang quickly said, "Father, just rest assured. I have plenty of ways to make him poisoned without knowing it!"
Hearing that Hu Shanxiang had a solution, Hu Zhenghe nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. The emperor can't stay, and Xiao Yan can't stay either!"
