Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "Princess Jinyang is the oldest. She married into the Yao family. When the Li family was bloodbathed, the eldest son-in-law had passed away, leaving behind two sons and one daughter. At that time, Princess Jinyang was in charge of the Prince-in-law's Mansion. This

The princess has a humble temperament and acts steadily. Because she is the eldest princess, everyone including the late emperor respects her." He picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing: "After the massacre of Prince Qing's Mansion, Princess Jinyang was still there, but

Just two months later, she passed away. Some people said that she was sick because of the bloodbath of the Li family, and there were also rumors that she was poisoned. But she was the last person to pass away among Xuanzong's descendants. After her death

, the Yao family soon suffered a disaster, and the whole family was beheaded."

"So except for the eldest princess, everyone else died before King Qing." Qin Xiao said slowly: "It is said that King Qing was talented in both civil and military affairs. He was a very smart person. Big brother, King Qing's other brothers and sisters

Being executed repeatedly, King Yiqing is so shrewd that he certainly knows that he will not be spared." Gu Baiyi said: "That's natural."

"During that time, King Qing didn't take any action?" Qin Xiao asked: "Since he knew that a disaster was coming, did he really sit back and wait for death?" Gu Baiyi thought for a while and then said: "The Academy did talk about that incident later.

After the tragedy, everyone was lamenting the murder of King Qing. However, it seems that King Qing was indeed in a state of sitting still and waiting for death during that time. Before and after Xiahou ascended the throne, King Qing did not leave home, let alone interact with anyone. Later, some people said that King Qing wanted to

Show the Xiahou family that just being an idle prince will not cause any trouble."

"That's not right." Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "Prince Qing is not stupid. He knows better than anyone else that if the Xiahou clan wants to eradicate him, it will not depend on his actions, but on his blood status. As long as he lives, he will definitely die.

." Gu Baiyi said: "That's true."

"So a prince who once had the courage to compete with the late emperor for the throne would sit back and wait for death in the end?" Qin Xiao sighed: "It's really hard for me to understand. Brother, the Hakka servants in Prince Qing's Mansion finally dared to fight to the end. Could it be that their master just wanted to fight to the end?

Don’t have that kind of courage? Although the Xiahou clan was in power at that time, the royal family was orthodox after all. King Qing raised his arms and raised his voice. Although he may not be able to reverse the situation, he will not be so cowardly as to wait for death." Gu Baiyi nodded slightly and said.

: "In fact, many people secretly discussed it later and felt that the Li royal family was really spineless. In the final analysis, it was Prince Qing who was too spineless. Although Prince Qing had not participated in court affairs for many years at that time, his prestige was still there, and the most important thing was that

What is surprising is that after the death of the late emperor, he was indeed the backbone of the Li royal family. Watching the Xiahou family brutally kill the Li royal family, King Qing never showed any resistance from beginning to end, let alone a desperate fight.

Therefore, many people feel that many years of idle life have drained King Qing of his blood, and his spine has long been broken." Qin Xiaodao: "After Xiahou ascended the throne, the world was in chaos, and there were many people in the government and the public who opposed Xiahou.

After that, a rebellion broke out in three states and seven counties. These facts also show that there were still countless people loyal to the Li and Tang royal families at that time. If King Qing really wanted to take action, no matter whether he was in the government or in the opposition, he would not be alone."

"This is indeed true." Gu Baiyi agreed: "If King Qing really fights to the death, even if there is no chance of winning, he can still bring great trouble to the Xiahou family." Qin Xiao looked into Gu Baiyi's eyes and asked:

"When anything goes wrong, there must be a monster. Brother, looking back now, do you think it was a little strange that Prince Qing just sat there waiting for death?"

"Even back then, some people felt that King Qing's attitude of sitting back and waiting for death was really weird." Gu Baiyi said: "As I said before, many people felt that King Qing was showing weakness to save his life. But in the end, King Qing underestimated the strength of the Xiahou clan.

He was so ruthless that everyone in his family was arrested. Since everyone in Prince Qing's palace was punished, it doesn't matter what Prince Qing's plan was at that time." Qin Xiaowei nodded, but stood up, walked to the window, and gently

Opened the window.

It was already February, but the night wind was still cold. The cold wind blew on Qin Xiao's face. Qin Xiao raised his head slightly and looked at the dark night sky thoughtfully.

Gu Baiyi also stood up and walked over without saying anything, not disturbing Qin Xiao's thoughts.

"Brother, let's make an assumption." Qin Xiao turned around slowly, looked deeply, and whispered: "Let's throw away what we know and assume that King Qing is still alive to explain everything that happened. Let's see

Can you straighten it out?" Gu Baiyi did not show any surprise, but just said: "You want to say that Mr. Da may be Prince Qing?"

"We know the existence of Mr. Da from the pawnshop." Qin Xiaodao: "After Xiahou bloodbathed the Li family, if Prince Qing was still alive, the first thing he had to do was to save his life. So he remained silent for several years.

, it's natural to hide your whereabouts." If it were anyone else, Qin Xiao would definitely find it ridiculous to assume that a dead person is still alive.

But Gu Baiyi seemed very calm about this, and even agreed with Qin Xiao's assumption. He nodded and said: "The silence makes Xiahou think that he has been wiped out. That is indeed the first thing he has to do."

"But he definitely doesn't live to survive." Qin Xiao said: "He hides in the dark, and the only purpose of living is definitely to seek revenge."

"As a member of the royal family, it is naturally impossible for us to just live on."

"So he not only wants to hide his whereabouts and let the world believe that he is no longer alive, but also start planning a revenge plan." Qin Xiaodao: "There is a rebellion in three states and seven counties. Logically speaking, he has a chance to stand up and take advantage of the Li family."

With the identity of the royal bloodline, he gathered the power to resist Xiahou and fought with Xiahou to the end. If he really stood up at that time, not only the three states and seven counties would have raised armies." Gu Baiyi said: "If the three states and seven counties had raised armies.

If he can stand up, he will not sit still and wait for death in Kyoto."

"Why didn't he stand up?" Qin Xiao stared into Gu Baiyi's eyes and said slowly: "After thinking about it, there is only one possibility." Gu Baiyi obviously understood what Qin Xiao meant and uttered three words: "Grand Master!

"

"That's right." Qin Xiao nodded and said: "What he is afraid of is not the Xiahou family, but the great master behind the saint. As everyone knows, after the saint ascended the throne, he set up an imperial tower, and the great heavenly master Yuan Fengjing sat in the palace to protect the saint.

Next to the saint, there is Wei Wuya, the chief steward of the inner palace, who is another great master unknown to the world. Within the imperial city, two great masters, one overt and one dark, are used by Xiahou. Yuan Fenjing may be relying on his identity and only knows how to do it.

I will protect Xiahou's safety and will not do anything that will dirty my hands, but the general manager Wei Wuya is extremely loyal to Xiahou. If Xiahou gives orders, Wei Wuya will do anything."

"Prince Qing is the biggest threat to Xia Hou. If Xia Hou orders Wei Wuya to take action, with Wei Wuya's strength, it will be easy to kill Prince Qing." Gu Baiyi sighed: "So if Prince Qing stirs up trouble in Kyoto, or

After standing up in the chaos of the three states and seven counties, Xiahou was furious and sent Wei Wuya to assassinate him. King Qing would definitely die." Qin Xiao sneered and said: "If there is really a threat, Xiahou will not have any scruples.

Why was Dongji Tianzhai able to make waves in Kyoto? It was because Wei Wuya was sent to the outside world. Xiahou Ning, the son of the Prime Minister, was assassinated in Jiangnan. Xiahou felt the threat of Sword Valley and immediately sent Wei Wuya to Sword Valley in order to

Kill all the disciples of Sword Valley. Even the threat from Sword Valley can be sent to Wei Wuya to deal with it. If Xiahou really knew that Prince Qing was still alive, how could he let him go?"

"Hitting the nail on the head." A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Baiyi's mouth, with admiration in his eyes, and he said: "Prince Qing was afraid that Xiahou would send a grand master to take action, so when the Li family suffered a bloodbath, he did not dare to act rashly, and he has been doing so ever since.

Hiding his whereabouts." Qin Xiao said: "If I were King Qing, I saved my life and wanted revenge, I would never show up, let alone fight forcefully, I would only be patient and wait for the opportunity. So he cannot be in the three states and seven counties.

Stand up when the army rises, but choose another method to complete revenge." After a pause, he continued: "To complete revenge, there are at least two problems that need to be solved." Gu Baiyi walked back to the chair, and after sitting down,

Look at Qin Xiao.

"The first is to develop strength. At least one day when we raise an army, we will have soldiers and horses in our hands." Qin Xiao said: "The second problem to be solved is to get rid of the two great masters around Xiahou." Gu Baiyi nodded:

"If those two great masters are not eliminated, Prince Qing's life will always be under threat."

"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "It is not easy to solve these two problems. First of all, it is not easy to develop the power of troops secretly. If the action is too big, he will contact officials and soldiers from all over the place.

There will definitely be something wrong, and his identity will be exposed sooner or later. So even if he wants to lobby the generals from all over the country, he cannot do it himself. But if he doesn't take out the banner of King Qing, how can the generals from all over the country be easily manipulated by him?

Under such circumstances, it is not the best idea to directly win over the officers and soldiers from various places." Gu Baiyi nodded slightly and asked: "Then do you think there is a better way to accumulate strength?"

"The Queen Mother's Meeting!" Qin Xiao spat out three words. Gu Baiyi's body trembled and he frowned: "Do you think Prince Qing is behind the Queen Mother's Meeting?"

"The Queen Mother Society began to appear in Qingzhou more than ten years ago." Qin Xiao said: "Three states and seven counties raised troops. Qingzhou was the first to stand up and was the main force in raising troops that year, so Qingzhou was the most loyal to Li Tang. Although

Later, the Qingzhou Army was put down, but the Qingzhou Army fought a bloody battle with the imperial court, and many Qingzhou Army died in the hands of the imperial officers and soldiers. This will make Qingzhou hate the Xiahou clan from top to bottom." Gu Baiyi said: "Because of these hatreds

It means that Qingzhou has the foundation to resist Xiahou."

"The leader of the Queen Mother Association is Haotian." Qin Xiao said: "I learned on Penglai Island that General Haotian had a deep relationship with Tao Zun back then. Even behind Haotian's founding of the Queen Mother Association, there was Tao Zun.

Shadow. Both eldest brother and I already know that the relationship between Mr. Da and Tao Zun is not shallow. Since there is the shadow of Tao Zun behind the Queen Mother Association, then of course Mr. Da may also be one of the masterminds behind it. Mr. Da and Tao Zun

Zun was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Qingzhou Haotian began to develop the Queen Mother Society in Qingzhou with the support and assistance of these two people. The Queen Mother Society was the military force secretly developed by Mr. Da or King Qing!"

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said: "Princess Jinyang is the oldest. She married into the Yao family. When the Li family was bloodbathed, the eldest son-in-law had passed away, leaving two sons and one daughter. At that time, the prince-in-law's house was headed by Princess Jinyang. This princess

She has a humble temperament and steady behavior. Because she is the eldest princess, everyone including the late emperor respects her." He picked up the teacup and took a sip before continuing: "After the massacre of Prince Qing's Mansion, Princess Jinyang was still there, but only

The Yao family soon suffered a disaster, and everyone was beheaded."

"So except for the eldest princess, everyone else died before King Qing." Qin Xiao said slowly: "It is said that King Qing was talented in both civil and military affairs. He was a very smart person. Big brother, King Qing's other brothers and sisters
