Although he knew that his nephew had suddenly risen to prominence in just a few years, and had made great achievements in both civil and military fields, and was known as "the best in the world", Er Zhuhuan was still greatly surprised and shocked. He could not understand him at all. How did you figure out all this?
My nephew has never been involved in seizing a legitimate son, but he is your majesty’s direct descendant. Does your majesty know about this?
Er Zhuhuan didn't believe it. This matter was extremely confidential and the people used were absolutely trustworthy. If His Majesty knew about it...then there would be no need to find another reason to depose the prince.
Well, no one can figure it out. Who asked Li Shan to read "Old Book of Tang" and "New Book of Tang".
Li Shan sighed, "Is uncle sending ordnance?"
Seeing that Er Zhu Huan remained silent and seemed to have not yet recovered, Li Shan asked: "Does the Crown Prince intend to make Yang Wenqian raise an army?"
"There is absolutely no chance of success." Li Shan said categorically: "Even if Yang Wenqian's command summons the army, it will not exceed three thousand, and the Qianniu Guards on the left and right are all elite divisions. Together with the generals and subordinates, more than a thousand elite troops will stick to the Phoenix Valley. Defeating the enemy may be reluctant, but it will never be enough to defend.”
"Could it be that the Crown Prince has some arrangements in Renzhi Palace?"
After realizing that the wheel of history was once again rolling into the trajectory of the original time and space, Li Shan made a judgment immediately. The first thing to determine was Er Zhuhuan's identity.
"Is the prince sure of victory?"
Although Zhu didn't understand this, he could at least tell that the rhythm of the conversation had been completely controlled by Li Shan, and Er Zhuhuan could only deal with it passively.
After thinking about it, Zhu said softly: "Brother, if Dong Palace is not sure, why should Huairen and his family avoid Qizhou temporarily?"
Under the current situation, there is no certain certainty that Li Jiancheng will not take action, and only after success, Pei Shiju will take action against the Li family.
Seeing the slight beads of sweat secreting from Er Zhuhuan's forehead, Li Shan felt that he was getting closer to the truth. He said slowly: "Is it Prime Minister Pei?"
"No, although Prime Minister Pei has your Majesty's trust, he has no power to restrain a chicken, and it is difficult to resist the power of King Qin."
"Is it Zheng Shanguo, the minister of household affairs and the prince's concubine?"
"Probably not. Zheng Shanguo often interacted with Duke Jiang in Renzhi Palace, and his nephew Zheng Rentai introduced him to the generals of Tiance Mansion, Qin Shubao, Hou Junji, and Duan Zhixuan."
"It's even more impossible to be Feng Li..."
After a brief pause, Li Shancai asked: "Uncle, will you be the King of Qi?"
"King Qi?" Er Zhuhuan, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help blurting out, "How could it be King Qi..."
Li Shan suddenly laughed, "Are you really not King Qi?"
"I thought my uncle was from King Qi."
Er Zhuhuan looked at Li Shan with strange eyes, "The King of Qi has no merit, no power, no virtue, and four incompetence. How dare he covet the position of the East Palace?!"
"Hahaha, uncle is right." Li Shan laughed loudly: "But although His Majesty has many heirs, among the adult legitimate sons, apart from the prince and the King of Qin, he is the King of Qi."
Er Zhuhuan shook his head. He didn't seem to want to continue talking about Renzhi Palace. "Actually, I don't know what will happen..."
Before he finished speaking, Er Zhuhuan stopped talking because Li Shan interrupted him.
Although his nephew is the heir, he is still a junior after all. Er Zhuhuan was very unhappy in his heart. But after hearing these words, he couldn't help but stiffen and stared at Li Shan in disbelief, his eyes dull.
Because Li Shan said this with emotion, "It turns out that my uncle is from the King of Qin."
Zhu on the side was also stunned. Isn't his brother the prince's confidant?
How could he be from King Qin?
But looking at the stunned Er Zhuhuan, Zhu immediately knew that her son's guess was correct.
For Er Zhuhuan and Mr. Zhu, Li Shan's recognition was simply unbelievable.
But in fact, on Li Shan's side, there are traces to follow... It is just a conclusion reached through the observation of this life and the memory of the previous life.
Li Shan is very sure that Feng Lun conspired with King Qi... He has been watching for three years, and there is no way he can go wrong in any case, although Li Shan still doesn't know why Feng Lun colluded with King Qi.
From the fact that Er Zhuhuan acquiesced in transporting ordnance to Yang Wenqian, Li Shan confirmed that in the historical Yang Wenqian incident, Li Jiancheng was probably tricked.
And who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
There are only two choices, and both of them are related to Feng Lun, because Er Zhu Huan met Feng Lun secretly last night.
Therefore, it is either the King of Qi or the King of Qin.
One is secretly colluding with Feng Lun, and the other regards Feng Lun as the pillar of Tiance Mansion.
Since Er Zhuhuan is interested in King Qi, and Li Shan believes that the other party will not lie at this time, the only possibility is King Qin.
As for the truth of the Yang Wenqian incident in history, Li Shan no longer thinks about it. Who knows what happened, but in this life, Li Shan has almost figured it out.
After a moment of silence, Li Shan was still thinking about how to ask and where to start, but Er Zhuhuan took the initiative to speak.
"More than ten years ago, His Majesty lurked in Jinyang and secretly gathered heroes. It seems that a certain person is also a direct descendant of His Majesty." Er Zhuhuan said in a low voice: "He defeated Song Laosheng and captured Chang'an. He also had meritorious deeds."
"In the first year of Wude, before His Majesty established the country and ascended the throne, he sent the Crown Prince and the King of Qin to lead an army to attack Luoyang. They returned victoriously. On the way back from that battle, Wei Ting reluctantly accepted..."
"So, King Qin sent you to the East Palace." Li Shan was not surprised by this. Historically, Li Shimin did place a lot of people in the East Palace.
Er Zhuhuan nodded, "In the past few years, the King of Qin conquered the south and the north and made great military achievements. The prince was frightened in the East Palace. In the sixth year of Wude, Yang Wenqian was transferred back to Guanzhong to serve as the governor of Fangzhou."
"Actually, this is not the first time. The prince has issued a secret order to send a batch of armors and ordnance to Fangzhou every three months since November last year. This time it happens to be July."
Li Shan was a little surprised, "Now that His Majesty is spending the summer in Fangzhou, does the Crown Prince still want to send him away?"
"The King of Qin sent an order to transport armor and ordnance to Fangzhou, and then transferred to Renzhi Palace to report the prince's rebellion." Er Zhuhuan said with a bitter smile: "Once the incident happens, the prince will be desperate and may raise an army..."
Zhu took over the conversation, "That's why my brother advised Huairen to take his family to Qizhou for a while."
Er Zhuhuan sighed: "The prince may raise troops in Chang'an, and Yang Wenqian may not sit still and wait for death. Both places are dangerous places..."
Zhu nodded and turned to look at Li Shan, who was deep in thought.
The first thing Li Shan judged was that this logic was relatively sound. As a confidant of the prince, his uncle accused the prince of treason... Li Yuan could either send people directly back to Beijing to evacuate the East Palace, or simply summon the prince to come to Renzhi Palace for an audience, both of which might make Li Jiancheng He could no longer sit on the throne of the prince, and Li Shimin could naturally take over the East Palace.
It seemed that everything was in the interest of King Qin, but Li Shan didn't believe it and decided not to believe it.
