Gu Baiyi's thoughts seemed to be opened up in an instant, and he said slowly: "If the Queen Mother Society develops smoothly, and when the opportunity comes, King Qing uses the Queen Mother Society to take the lead in starting an uprising, and then stands up and raises the banner of Li Tang, then Wang Mu will
The mother association immediately transformed from a rebel army into a rebel army supporting Li Tang. When the soldiers and horses supporting Li Tang from various states in the world saw the flag of King Qing, they would naturally gather followers."
"If you really want to say it, Li Chengqing's flag is more effective than Princess Sheyue." Qin Xiao sighed: "Although Sheyue is of Li Tang's blood, her mother is Xiahou. In the eyes of many people who support Li Tang,
The Xiahou clan are national thieves who usurped Li Tang, so She Yue also has half of the blood of national thieves in her body. But Li Chengqing is a pure bloodline of Li Tang, and his appeal is only higher than that of She Yue."
Gu Baiyi thought for a while and said: "The opportunity Li Chengqing is waiting for can only be after the great master in the palace is executed."
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "So instead of developing the Queen Mother Association to raise troops, the problem that King Qing wanted to solve most was the two great masters in the palace, and Wei Wuya was guilty of this." At this point,
But he felt more and more that if Mr. Da was really Prince Qing, many things would make sense. He said softly: "So during the changes in Jiangnan, Prince Qing was
He wanted to use the Queen Mother to hold She Yue hostage, and then lure Wei Wuya out of the palace, so that his ally Dao Zun could take advantage of the situation and take control of the palace. If there was a change in the palace, Wei Wuya would inevitably go back to rescue him, and Dao Zun
But a trap has been laid in the palace, waiting for Wei Wuya to fall into the trap."
Gu Baiyi nodded and said: "The existence of the great master in the palace is not a good thing for Tao Zun. If he wants to spread his Tao all over the world, he will naturally help King Qing to get rid of Wei Wuya and even Yuan Fengjing, so that he can support King Qing to ascend the throne.
The throne."
"That's right." Qin Xiao said: "Apart from Prince Qing, who has the blood of the Li Tang royal family, who else can let Dao Zun help?"
"If Dao Zun wants to fulfill his wish to spread the world, Prince Qing, who ascends the throne, can naturally help him realize it."
"That's why Dao Zun sent his disciples to assist King Qing in deploying his plan." Qin Xiao's eyes were sharp, "Pawnshops are located all over the Tang Dynasty. Not only can they master the world's intelligence, but they can also accumulate a lot of money. This money can also be used for
The most important thing to develop the power of the Queen Mother Association is to use it to bribe people from various government officials." He smiled and said in a low voice: "Cui Bo, the captain of the Liaodong Army, was secretly bribed by the pawnbroker. If Cui Bo hadn't acted as an internal agent,
We won’t win Shunjin City so smoothly either.”
Gu Baiyi said: "If Mr. Da is not Prince Qing, Wang Xingchao will naturally not be convinced."
"Exactly." Qin Xiao said: "If King Qing wants to win over a powerful general like Wang Xingchao, he can only reveal his identity to Wang Xingchao. Wang Xingchao knows the identity of King Qing, and naturally understands that if he can really support King Qing to revive Li
Tang Dynasty, he will definitely gain huge benefits. Only when a member of the Li Tang royal family like Prince Qing ascends the throne can Wang Xingchao's ambition to dominate the Northeast be satisfied."
Gu Baiyi nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
After a moment, Gu Baiyi sighed: "Although these inferences are very reasonable, they are just our illusions. As we all know, King Qing was assassinated in the palace. After King Qing's death, the palace will definitely confirm it again. That is
The biggest threat to the Xiahou clan is that if the deceased is not confirmed to be King Qing, the Xiahou clan will definitely not give up. After the bloodbath in Prince Qing's palace, the Xiahou clan did not continue to pursue the Qing clan.
This action also proves that the Xiahou family really felt that Prince Qing’s family had been completely eradicated.”
"The palace will naturally confirm it." Qin Xiao said: "I also believe that including the saint, everyone must be sure that King Qing is dead." After a pause, he said: "But brother, think about it carefully. If the death of King Qing is true,
This is a carefully planned plan, will King Yiqing's shrewdness leave any flaws?"
Gu Baiyi thought for a moment and then said: "Are you saying that Prince Qing had already planned to fake his own death to escape?"
"There should be such suspicions." Qin Xiao said seriously: "If King Qing wanted to fake his death to escape, he would definitely find a substitute to do it. Of course he knew that if the substitute was assassinated, Xiahou would definitely confirm it again and again, so King Qing would definitely
Put a lot of effort into selecting a substitute." He picked up the tea cup and found that the tea had already cooled down. However, after talking to Gu Baiyi for a long time, he felt thirsty and didn't care. He drank half the cup in one gulp to moisten his throat, and then continued: "
The late emperor almost stopped attending the court in the year before his death, and the political affairs in the court were actually under the control of the Queen and the Prime Minister. Others may not have been able to see the undercurrents in the palace at that time, but after King Qing's death,
Sharp, but not necessarily unaware."
Gu Baiyi said: "It seems that King Qing had already started making preparations before the death of the late emperor."
"A true commander-in-chief will definitely consider the worst outcome before acting." Qin Xiao said: "Before the death of the late emperor, King Qing may have thought that with the support of the courtiers, he might inherit the throne, but he must also
She would consider that She Yue would eventually ascend the throne with the support of the Xiahou family. She Yue was still young at the time. Once he really ascended the throne, the power would definitely be in the hands of Xiahou. After Xiahou takes power, if he wants to dominate the world, he will naturally remove all
obstacles.”
Qin Xiao's thinking was clear, and Gu Baiyi was so shrewd that he naturally followed Qin Xiao's thinking and nodded: "Maybe he didn't expect that Xia Hou would be able to directly sit on the throne in the end, but he made the worst plan early, and
An escape route has been planned.”
"He planned an escape route just in case. He didn't necessarily think he would be able to get that far." Gu Baiyi said: "But the development of the situation was beyond his expectation. Xiahou obtained the throne, and King Qing knew that a disaster was coming and had to
Embark on the road he didn't want to take." At this point, he thought for a moment and then said: "If he was preparing to retreat when the late emperor was unable to come to court, then it would make sense to secretly cultivate a substitute.
"
Qin Xiaodao: "Perhaps before the substitute was assassinated, he had already left Kyoto and started working secretly. With his strength, it is not too difficult to find a substitute who looks similar to him. The difficulty is that the substitute needs to imitate him
His words and deeds make it impossible for anyone to see the flaws. But if he had been prepared and trained a substitute around him to imitate his words and deeds, there would be enough time." At this point, he sighed: "Prince Qing faked his death.
, this kind of inference will indeed make people feel incredible. But if Mr. Da is Prince Qing, he can explain many unexplainable mysteries. Eliminate all kinds of illogical possibilities, and in the end, as long as the remaining possibilities are logical, no matter how incredible,
It may very well be the final answer.”
Both of them are extremely smart people. Because of Wang Xingchao's last two words, coupled with various previous inferences, they finally came to the conclusion that King Qing faked his death. Although both of them felt a little unbelievable in their hearts, they also knew that this was the case.
of
It may not be impossible to infer.
The windows were not closed, and the night wind blew in. The two of them had advanced cultivation, and they did not feel cold. On the contrary, the chill in the air kept their minds clear.
There was silence in the room for a while, and then Gu Baiyi said: "Prince Qing designed himself to fake his own death to escape, but the entire Prince Qing's palace was killed!"
"Two reasons." Qin Xiao opened his mind and his mind became clearer, and he immediately said: "Under the circumstances at that time, there was no possibility for Prince Qing's Mansion to survive. Since Prince Qing was regarded as the biggest threat by the Xiahou clan, then what happened to Prince Qing's Mansion?
Every movement must be under the surveillance of Xiahou. Therefore, Prince Qing had no way to transfer the family records in the palace at that time. Whether he died in real life or fake death, the disaster of Prince Qing's palace would not be spared." After a pause, he said
He continued: "The second reason is to use Prince Qing's Mansion as a cover."
Gu Baiyi had already thought of this and said: "Even if the family records can be transferred, Prince Qing can't do anything. They can escape from Kyoto, but in the end they can't escape Xia Hou's pursuit. And once the people in the palace are transferred, Prince Qing's plan to fake death will be
Therefore, it cannot be implemented. The substitute was assassinated, and all the royal family members were executed. Only then will everyone feel that the lineage of Prince Qing's Palace is completely cut off.
The lives of so many people are just a tool used by King Qing to cover up his own fake death." At this point, Gu Baiyi frowned, and there was a rare chill in his eyes: "If this is really the case, even if King Qing is forced to do that
It proves that this prince is extremely cold-hearted, which is beyond imagination."
Qin Xiao thought for a while and thought that since he had already said this, there was no need to continue to hide the truth about Luo Yue's still alive.
After all, if Prince Qing is Mr. Da, then Luo Yue's clue will definitely be of great use in proving Mr. Da's identity. Gu Baiyi is very smart. After knowing the truth of the matter, he may be able to make the truth clearer.
"Not all the people in Prince Qing's palace were executed." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and finally informed Gu Baiyi of the information about Luo Yue.
Starting from Luo Yue Guan in Hangzhou, until now when Luo Yue is almost under house arrest on Penglai Island, including the time when Luo Yue and Sanjue Master went to Modong Grassland to plant poison on Luotian Kedun, etc., Qin Xiao did not hide anything.
Gu Baiyi listened very carefully. When he learned that there were two consciousnesses in Luo Yue's body, even Gu Baiyi, who was well-informed, looked horrified.
Gu Baiyi's expression became more solemn when he learned that the butcher actually had a relationship with Luo Yue.
"These things are very strange." Qin Xiao sighed: "I didn't explain it to my eldest brother before, because I wanted to wait until I found out the truth."
Gu Baiyi didn't care, and just asked: "So Taoist Aunt Luo Yue is the princess of Prince Qing who was rescued by Suzaku, the first disciple of Tianzhai, from Prince Qing's Mansion?"
"Yes!" Qin Xiao said: "After she was rescued, perhaps because the scene she witnessed in Prince Qing's Mansion that night was too terrifying and too exciting to her, Luo Yue forgot everything. She arrived at Penglai Island, Dao Zun and
Suzaku has always taken good care of her, and Luo Yue slowly recovered. She only thought that she was Taoist Aunt Luo Yue on Penglai Island. She had forgotten about her origins and all her experiences before landing on the island." At this point,
He smiled bitterly and said: "If this continues, it may not be a bad thing for Princess Luoyue, but the appearance of Qingzhou Haotian has changed everything."
