"But then how did it get involved with Prince Liang's Mansion?"
Concerning what Elder Wen mentioned, Princess Shenxian was still more willing to believe the rumors in Chu State, after all, that version was easier for people to believe.
Mr. Wen slowly explained what happened that year: "After the Chu royal family found out the identity and origin of the princess, the Emperor of Chu secretly summoned Prince Hong into the palace and informed him of your mother's identity and origin."
"Prince Hong felt like he was struck by lightning at the time. This incident was a huge blow to him. He never imagined that the woman who accompanied him day and night was actually a secret agent of the Nine Nether Demon Palace."
"Prince Hong is heartbroken, but he has the deepest affection for your mother and you."
"Prince Hong made an extremely selfish decision... He was willing to hand over military power in exchange for a way out for you and your mother!"
Princess Shenxian was stunned.
You must know... the Prince Hong's Mansion five thousand years ago was the most powerful military prince's palace in the Chu Kingdom, much more powerful than the Prince Liang's Mansion today.
The royal palace has more than 10,000 capable generals who are good at fighting, and the army of soldiers and horses has more than 100 million warriors. It can be said that it is a powerful existence that dominates the world.
Prince Hong was actually willing to hand over his military power in exchange for Princess Shenxian and his mother's life?
Perhaps only Prince Hong can do this. If it were anyone else, who would be willing to give up this world-powerful military force, who would be willing to give up this power of wielding a murderous sword and lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman?
"and after?"
Princess Shenxian couldn't help but ask: "My father handed over his military power, but they still killed my father and mother!"
Mr. Wen smiled bitterly: "Who told you...that your father and mother are both dead?"
What!
Princess Shenxian froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, looking straight at Mr. Wen with wide eyes.
"Aren't my parents dead?"
"Hey." Mr. Wen sighed: "Things back then were extremely complicated, and under the manipulation of the Chu royal family, the matter became even more mysterious."
"If it were not someone who had personally experienced this matter, it would be almost impossible for others to find out the truth from classics and information."
"This is the method of the Chu royal family!"
"Princess Chenxian, don't be anxious. Let me slowly tell you what happened back then. It just so happens that I experienced this thing myself back then!"
Princess Shenxian did not interrupt in a hurry, but stared at Mr. Wen closely.
She desperately wanted to know what happened that year, and even more wanted to know whether his mother was still alive? Or was she already dead?
Mr. Wen continued: "After the Chu royal family discovered your mother's identity, Emperor Chu secretly summoned Prince Hong into the palace and informed him of the news."
"Prince Hong's Mansion, as one of the most powerful military princes' palaces at that time, such an incident happened. It is an extremely embarrassing thing for both Prince Hong's Mansion and the royal family of Chu State."
"And the royal family of Chu State values face the most!"
"Besides, after Prince Hong learned about the princess's origins, he began to fall into despair and was no longer able to manage such a huge palace."
"So the Chu royal family had to think carefully and find a suitable way to solve this matter!"
"And in the end, they did figure out a way!"
In the eyes of Princess Shenxian, Mr. Wen slowly revealed the methods used by the royal family of Chu State back then.
Mr. Wen said: "I just told you that your father is willing to give up military power in exchange for your mother's life and yours."
"However, the Prince Hong's Mansion was so powerful back then. If the Prince Hong's Mansion was abolished for no reason and only with an edict from Emperor Chu, I am afraid it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the army officers and lead to even greater chaos."
"As a result, the royal family of Chu State announced the identity of the princess to the outside world, and she was the secret agent of Jiuyou Demon Palace. At the same time, the royal family of Chu State announced the news to the outside world again. Prince Hong's Mansion was so distraught that he committed suicide in the palace.
But he still lives."
"Although it was an announcement issued by the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, it still caused a great disturbance in the army at that time. The army that was originally affiliated with Prince Hong's old department wrote to the Emperor of Chu one after another."
"Emperor Chu was already a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly pulled out a scapegoat."
"This scapegoat is..."
When Mr. Wen said this, he glanced at the three people in Prince Liang's Mansion and said: "The royal family of Chu State has framed everything on Prince Liang's Mansion."
"Although the Liang Prince's Mansion five thousand years ago was not as powerful as Prince Hong's Mansion, it was still one of the best military princes' palaces in the Chu Kingdom."
"The royal family of the Chu State announced to the public that it was the Liang Prince's Palace who discovered the identity of the Princess Hong's Palace and informed the royal family. This attracted most of the attention."
"This inevitably makes people think... it is most likely a political struggle between the Liang Prince's Palace and the Hong Prince's Palace to compete for military power."
"Furthermore, after the nominal death of Prince Hong, the army of Prince Hong's Palace was indeed organized and integrated by Prince Liang's Palace, which makes it easier for people to think that Prince Liang's Palace is deliberately targeting Prince Hong's Palace."
"Moreover, the Prince of Liang in Prince Liang's Mansion has always been a strategist. He immediately understood what the royal family meant. He probably made a harsh move and began to recruit the troops from Prince Hong's Mansion."
"Prince Hong is nominally dead, but the recruitment of the army in Prince Hong's palace is actually a huge problem!"
"I have to say that Prince Liang is also very capable. In just a few years, he integrated all the armies of Prince Liang's Palace and Prince Hong's Palace."
"Of course, there is also the secret help of Prince Hong behind this. Otherwise, Prince Liang would never be able to collect Prince Hong's army without even using a single soldier."
When he said this, Mr. Wen couldn't help but show a hint of admiration for Prince Liang.
Lin Bai could even imagine...how terrifying the situation was after Prince Hong died.
The troops and generals under Prince Hong, under the operation of the Chu royal family, pointed all their fingers at the Liang Prince's Mansion.
If Prince Liang had not made a decisive decision and recruited Prince Hong's army in time, it would have probably triggered a war between the two princes!
Mr. Wen twirled his beard and said: "I seem to remember that since then, the reputation of Prince Liang's Mansion has been getting worse and worse, and it has almost become infamous within the territory of Chu State."
Chu Tingxue gave a bitter smile, just as Mr. Wen said... Since that incident, the reputation of Prince Liang's Mansion in the Chu Kingdom has not been very good, and there have even been rumors many times that Prince Liang wants to seek a throne.
.
When all the warriors in the Chu Kingdom mentioned the Liang Prince's Mansion, their expressions changed.
Mr. Wen said slowly: "From the time when Prince Hong and the royal family formulated a plan, to guiding the warriors to change their focus and triggering a power struggle between the two royal palaces, this matter has been reduced from a big matter to a trivial matter."
