Qinglong smiled slightly and said: "Master Baihu, most of these things are information I have inquired about, or some public facts that we can all see. For example, Liu Tingyun did not always stay in Jiankang from the beginning.
During Liu Yi's Western Expedition, she had been in Liyang. As the general's wife, she was directly involved in the management of private food and private ordnance provided by many noble families to the Western Expedition, including those with nominal military positions, but she stayed in Liyang.
She also takes care of the children of the aristocratic families in the rear. She even arranges and provides the food, drinks, entertainment, travel expenses, and itinerary for these young masters, even the five-stone powder. I believe that you and Xuanwu will take care of these things.
Your Excellency must have known this for a long time."
Baihu nodded: "Yes, during the Western Expedition to Huanchu for more than a year, it was indeed Liu Tingyun who took care of the rear for Liu Yi's Western Expedition in Liyang. But what I want to ask is, when Liu Tingyun returned to Jiankang later,
You and Liu Yi have been separated in two places for a long time. Do you have any evidence that this is because Liu Tingyun suggested that Liu Yi let Liu Yu hand over power after Wang Mi's death?"
Qinglong said calmly: "Because I have my own channels, Liu Tingyun had even made an appointment with Xie Hun at that time. After Wang Mi's death, Xie Hunlai would take over as the leader of the family, the prime minister of the hundred officials, and the governor of Yangzhou.
It also fell into the hands of the Xie family, because Wang Miaoyin will never refuse his own family to ascend to the throne. Mr. Xuanwu, you have experienced this yourself, can you prove it to me."
Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, I have participated in some of this matter. Even after Wang Mi was threatened by Liu Yi, many of the children of the aristocratic families who originally followed him, in order to avoid suspicion, in turn made trouble for him, and his Wang family was because of
Taking the lead in joining Huan Xuan, he received a lot of benefits from other families, but was also coerced by the major families to return them. Liu Yi's move was actually very clever. On the surface, it was to pursue the crime of robbing the jade seal, but in fact it was to incite all the people.
The family of the family should not worry about Liu Yu's protection, and they could attack Wang Mi freely. In fact, Wang Mi's position as the leader of the officials was lost the moment Liu Yi attacked him in the court. In the end, although Liu Yu
He got it back, but he actually has no authority anymore."
"Even Liu Yu was forced to make compromises and deals in order to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Wang Mi, a great traitor. He could not stay in the capital permanently, but had to lead troops out of the town at Jingkou. Even Liu Muzhi could not stay in court.
Zhong became his agent and was able to help him manage things in Jingkou as General Shi of the Zhenjun Army. In fact, Xie Hun actually worked with Xu Xianzhi, Xi Sengshi and others as Jingkou during a period of time after Wang Mi lost power.
Together with Meng Chang of Zhaoyin, he became the master of the government. Among them was Sima Dewen, the king of Langya. He also wanted to gain control of the jade seal in the name of taking care of the emperor's brother's daily life, so that he could make decisions with other officials of the aristocratic families.
Through transactions, we gradually gained political power in the DPRK and China."
Qinglong sneered: "In the end, Liu Yu and Wang Miaoyin joined forces to firmly control the jade seal in Wang Miaoyin's hands for safekeeping, and also drove Sima Dewen out of the palace and restricted him to the palace.
As for this matter, after Wang Mi experienced these things, he was worried all day long, so he increased his intake of Wushisan in order to numb himself and escape from these cruel worldly affairs. In the end, in about a year, he was completely destroyed.
, passed away prematurely.”
At this point, Qinglong paused: "Maybe this is what Liu Yi and Liu Tingyun had planned a long time ago. They were so angry or scared to death that Wang Mi was so angry that they thought that the power in the court would naturally fall into Xie Hun's hands.
Because when Wang Mi was finally seriously ill, Xie Hun was always in charge of political affairs, and the administrative affairs of the capital were handled by Meng Chang. Everyone was used to this arrangement. It seemed that Xie Hun would succeed Wang Mi.
The position of prime minister was a natural thing, but Wang Miaoyin and Mrs. Xie still stood by Liu Yu at the most critical moment. They probably also gave Liu Muzhi a secret report, telling him that there had been changes in the capital.
, asking him to make preparations for Liu Yu himself to take over as the governor of Yangzhou and return to the capital, while Liu Muzhi returned to the capital as the general commander Shi to preside over political affairs. On the surface, this was Liu Yu's forced decision, but if
If Queen Wang and Mrs. Xie hadn't been behind the scenes to connect most of the aristocratic families, including the Yu family, to support this matter, how could it have been achieved so easily?"
Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, it's because Liu Tingyun couldn't win the support of the majority of the family, so she couldn't bypass Liu Yu and force a final decision, so she could only advise Liu Yi to ask Liu Yu, thinking that Liu Yu would give up on his own, because Liu Yu
Yu's ambition was to conquer the Huru in the north, and it was impossible to stay in the capital for a long time. But this time, Liu Yu listened to Liu Muzhi's suggestion and directly led Yangzhou Governor and was stationed in the capital to control the political power. Therefore, Liu Yi
All the plans with Liu Tingyun were ruined, which is also the reason why Liu Yi and Liu Tingyun broke up. Mr. Baihu, you now know the process of this matter."
Bai Hu murmured to himself: "I now feel that the decisive role in this matter is not necessarily the family officials, because we did not go through a lot of planning on this matter at that time, and almost sat back and watched the development of the matter. On the contrary,
It’s Xie Xuan, as a cloak, could he have exerted a lot of power in secret?”
Qinglong curled his lips: "I have not found out anything about this. Even Liu Tingyun's motives and the role she played are also intriguing. It seems that she is not completely following Xie Xuan's orders and acting completely according to the instructions of the Tiandao Alliance.
In other words, maybe Xie Xuan wanted to use this matter to further intensify the conflict between Liu Yi and Liu Yu, causing the Beifu Army to be internally divided and even have a civil war. This kind of proactively creating conflicts and chaos is what the Tiandao Alliance is good at.
.”
Xuanwu nodded: "Anyway, Xie Xuan is dead and Liu Tingyun is also dead. It is no longer possible to verify the truth of these things. As we just guessed, has Liu Tingyun betrayed us to the Tiandao Alliance?
The existence of the Tiandao Alliance cannot be verified, but the result is that we are still doing well here and have not been attacked by the Tiandao Alliance. Maybe they don’t know about us, or maybe they don’t want to touch us for the time being. However, it is impossible for us to cooperate with the Tiandao Alliance.
Yes, what the family and the world want is peace and security for the country and the people. Only when the world is peaceful can we get benefits from the work of the villagers and tenants. If the world is in chaos and war breaks out, our own survival will be a problem. Before, Tianshi Dao was in Wudi.
The rebellion, how many children of our family have died, and how much vitality has been damaged? Even now, we have not recovered yet." (End of Chapter)
