Chapter 558 Confusion
Li Chenan felt the warmth of spring in Zhongli Ruoshui's boudoir.
Liu Zhuo had returned to his small yard in the backyard of the government office.
The spring rain is still there.
It's late at night.
There was still a storm lamp in the pavilion in the small yard.
Huang Sanlie was sitting under the lamp, looking at the raindrops in the night with great anxiety.
He had already known that Li Chenan did not come to the government office with Liu Zhuo, but went to Zhongli Garden.
This is not unexpected.
Because Zhongli Ruoshui is in Zhongli Garden.
When Li Chenan came to Chongqing Mansion, he should have gone to Zhongli Garden to meet Zhongli Ruoshui first.
He was very worried about what would happen to Zhongli Garden.
But there are many masters in Zhongli Garden, so he dare not send anyone to investigate.
Liu Zhuo went to Zhongli Garden. He was waiting for Liu Zhuo to come back and brought back the news about Zhongli Garden.
This is very important.
It involves the next arrangement.
Just as he was waiting anxiously, Liu Zhuo walked in with an oil-paper umbrella.
Huang Sanlie raised his eyes, Liu Zhuo put his umbrella and sat opposite Huang Sanlie:
"The situation does not seem to be what the old Marquis guessed!"
After Liu Zhuo's words, Huang Sanlie was slightly stunned, and he put a cup of tea for Liu Zhuo and handed it over, "I would like to ask Brother Liu to tell me in detail."
Liu Zhuo told Huang Sanlie everything about Zhongli Garden. Huang Sanlie didn't say a word, and he kept listening very carefully.
Originally, Liu Zhuo thought Huang Sanlie would feel relieved after hearing these words, but unexpectedly, the expression on Huang Sanlie's face became more and more serious.
A river frowned between his eyebrows.
Until Liu Zhuo finished speaking, Huang Sanlie was silent for a long time, and then looked at Ye Yu outside the pavilion and thought for a moment.
"In this way, the old master probably has some misunderstandings about the old lady."
"I just don't know what the old lady said in the last letter... However, since the people in Zhongli's house did not have any hostility towards Li Chenan, of course, there would be no adverse actions for Li Chenan in the old lady's letter."
"but……"
Huang Sanlie slowly stood up as soon as he stroked his short beard.
He walked to the pavilion, stretched out his hand, caught the raindrops dripping from the eaves of the pavilion, and said:
"Even if you said just now, the old lady may have been shaken about choosing an emperor."
"When Li Chenan first entered Kyoto, she did not really take Li Chenan seriously, or she did not think that Li Chenan had the ability to take over the power of Ningguo at that time."
"Until Li Chen'an made his mark in Kyoto, until the news of Li Chen'an suppressing bandits in Shuangjiaoshan came...or maybe someone had a careful conversation with the old lady in Kyoto."
"For example, Changsun Jinghong."
"For example, Shang Di."
"Even people like Mr. Cheng."
"So the old lady changed her mind before the Kyoto change."
Huang Sanlie suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Zhuo, "But since the old lady has changed her mind, why didn't she tell the hometown master?"
"The old master said that the main contradiction between him and the old lady over the past ten years is actually the matter of the eldest son!"
"Of course, Li Chenan didn't have anything to do at that time. He was still pretending to be stupid in Guangling City."
"The old master hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne as emperor, because His Highness is generous and kind. If His Highness can become emperor, it may be a great good thing for the officials in the court and the people of Ningguo."
"But the old lady doesn't think so."
"The old lady believes that Ningguo now needs a powerful prince who dares to kill people to become the emperor."
"The old lady said that the evil of Ningguo cannot be cured without the power of thunder."
"The old master said that it was because Ningguo had just recovered from serious illness, and the kind emperor should be given the kind and kind emperor to help the people of Ningguo recuperate."
"The old master also said that no one knows what the eldest son is like."
"No one knows his character, his knowledge, his ability to control his ministers, his ability to govern the country, etc."
"Then if he really returns to Beijing to become the emperor... let alone the crown prince is not convinced, even if the second prince Ning Zhixing and the third prince Ning Zhiyuan, how could they be convinced?"
"This will inevitably lead to even more chaos in Ningguo!"
"It is better for His Highness the Crown Prince to become the emperor. If there is the Marquis of Dingguo and the Imperial City Office behind His Highness, whether it is the Second Prince or the Third Prince... they will not make any waves after all."
Liu Zhuo also listened carefully. From Huang Sanlie's words, he also thought that if Li Chen'an was abandoned, it would be better for His Royal Highness to be the emperor.
After all, the prince has been in the East Palace for so many years.
After all, the ministers and the prince are also very familiar with each other.
As long as Ji Tai and his team are brought down and the prince ascended the throne, there will be no major civil strife in Ningguo at least.
But the eldest son of the emperor who no one knows is not sure to return to Kyoto.
However, the evolution of the story was separated from the expectations of the Marquis of Dingguo and the old lady, and suddenly Li Chen'an came out.
But after the Kyoto Rebellion, His Royal Highness died.
The Red Flame Army invaded Kyoto.
Xi Wei handed over Ningguo's future to Li Chenan... Li Chenan is the future son-in-law of Zhongli's mansion. This is probably why Fan Taohua finally compromised.
After all, she had seen some of Li Chenan's abilities.
Li Chenan is at least not as weak as His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Chenan also has a certain foundation in the court because of his grandfather Mr. Chunfu.
So, she changed her mind.
But before she could tell the old marquis that she had changed her mind, she died in Yunjibeye.
Just as Liu Zhuo was thinking this way, Huang Sanlie spoke again:
"When Huaiping Mountain attacked Yunjibiye, the third lady and the others were all there."
"At that time, the Shenwu Army of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion still firmly controlled the palace. Although the Red Flame Army entered Kyoto, for some reason the Red Flame Army did not attack the Palace. Instead, the Red Flame Army went out of the city to destroy the army arranged in two acropolises in Huaiping Mountain!"
"When the Red Flame Army left the city to fight, the Shenwu Army was strangely not taking advantage of this opportunity to re-occupate the Sifang Gate of Kyoto..."
Huang Sanlie pondered for three breaths and said, "Now it seems that this Kyoto Incident is more like a play!"
Liu Zhuo was stunned: "How do you say this?"
"Xi Wei let the people of the world know that the Chiyan Army did not obey the Duke of Yan's Mansion!"
"In the beginning, many people would have thought that the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army would have a life-and-death battle... but they never fought a single battle... They never fired each other a single shot!"
Liu Zhuo was suddenly shocked. The war in the Kyoto Incident had already reached Shuzhou, but he had not sorted out the same way as Huang Sanlie had at this moment.
"you mean……"
Huang Sanlie nodded slightly: "It's more like the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army joining forces... Ji Tai originally thought that the Red Flame Army was in the hands of the Duke of Yan's Mansion and was here to help him and the second prince!"
"So the Red Flame Army entered the city, but Ji Tai's people opened the city gate for them!"
"But the Red Flame Army almost killed all the officials of Ji Tai and others overnight!"
"At the same time, the Red Flame Army entered the city and lured the people from Huaiping Mountain out and wiped out one stone!"
"He prepared for the power accumulated by Huaipingshan for more than ten years for His Royal Highness, but he couldn't hold it back. He thought it was a huge opportunity, but he didn't expect it to be a huge trap!"
"I destroyed everyone in Ji Tai and his group, and wiped out the power hidden in Kyoto Acropolis in Huaiping Mountain, and used this to kill His Royal Highness the Prince... three eagles in one shot!"
"If you support Li Chen'an ascend to the throne and become emperor, all obstacles in front of Li Chen'an will be removed..."
"The Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army have such a tacit understanding, and the old lady and Xi Wei must have reached some consensus."
"But, since the old lady knows this result, why did she still want Li Chenan to take a trip to Shuzhou?"
Liu Zhuo didn't know either.
Huang Sanlie looked at Ye Yu again.
Frown between his eyebrows.
"Western Mountain!"
