Liu Zuo said nothing.
He picked up the wine bowl and took a long sip of wine. This Huapingchun, which he usually loved most, had no taste at this moment.
Huang Sanlie's two sentences contained too much and too complicated information. He needed to think about it carefully.
The master and the old lady have not been on good terms in the past ten years... This is absolutely shocking news.
The story between Fan Taohua and Zhong Lipo back then has become a household name in Ningguo.
Fan Taohua left Songshan Sword Academy and walked around the world, and met the extremely handsome Zhong Lipo, so she composed a soul-stirring song called "Feng Qiu Huang".
There were also many people pursuing Fan Taohua back then.
For example, Wu Xichen, such as Shang Di.
But Fan Taohua still married Zhonglipo, and in the thirteenth year of Jingtai, when Huihe launched a war against Ningguo, she accompanied her husband on an expedition and led a thousand personal guards to not only recapture the Great Shock Pass in one fell swoop, but also ran thousands of miles to attack the general. King Huihe could capture him alive in Liaoye!
This battle established Zhongli Mansion's position in Ning State.
The late emperor decreed that Zhongli Po be made a Marquis of Dingguo and lead a hussar general.
As a result, Ningguo had a Dingguo Hou Mansion that could rival Shangche Hou Mansion.
Then, under Fan Taohua's strong suggestion, the Dingguo Hou Mansion trained an army that could compete with the Red Flame Army.
It is the Shenwu Army today.
Whether in the court or among the people, everyone believed that the love between the two of them should set an example for the world——
Zhongli, the Marquis of Dingguo, only had Fan Taohua as his wife!
No one has heard that they had ever quarreled in the past few decades, and they all thought that the relationship between them was what we call mutual support and friendship!
There has been no harmony in the past ten years... If this is true, then what is the reason for their disagreement in the past ten years?
An idea flashed in Liu Zuo's mind, and two words popped up: Imperial Power!
It is also Mrs. Fan's idea to run Shuzhou.
From this point of view, Mrs. Fan hopes that the eldest son of the emperor can inherit the unification of Ning Kingdom.
But from what Huang Sanlie said... Zhongli Po hopes that Li Chenan will become the Emperor of Ning!
Li Chenan only came to prominence during the Kyoto Incident at the end of last year. He was obviously not the cause of the rift between Zhong Lipo and Fan Taohua in the past ten years.
If there were not differences of opinion on imperial power, where did their conflicts come from?
"For Li Chenan,"
Liu Zuo thought about it and spoke very slowly:
"It was his plan to escape safely from Guangling City last year."
"When I was in Guangling City, I had several contacts with him."
"I have also heard some rumors about the policy agenda he will implement next. Although there are some confusions, I think they will be explained when the three provinces write it down."
"In general, if he can become the emperor of Ningguo...not to mention whether Ningguo will rise as a result, at least it will be much better than when Ji Tai was in power."
"But what about the eldest son of the emperor?"
Liu Zhuo stroked his short beard, paused, and then said: "I have never seen him, and I don't know where to see him, so I don't know much about him, so I can't give you any advice on who should be the emperor better for Ningguo." .”
"Besides...how can such a major event be affected by just one person like me...Judging from the current situation of the entire Ning Kingdom, many officials in the court, including myself, are actually under the influence of the regent. grace."
"If it weren't for him, many officials would still be bored in their homes taking care of their children."
"So from this point of view, I personally hope that he can ascend the throne and become the emperor... After all, everyone knows that if I want to do something drastic in this position, at least I won't have it in my heart. Too worried."
"If you ask me this question, it's actually unfair to the eldest son of the emperor who no one has ever met, because emotionally I will be inclined to the regent!"
Huang Sanlie nodded slightly, and after Liu Zui finished speaking, he whispered again: "Perhaps it is because his reputation is too righteous and prosperous, even if he really takes back the emperor's eldest son, even if he respectfully welcomes the emperor's eldest son to the throne For the emperor..."
"As you said, almost all the people in the court were appointed by Li Chenan... not only the high-ranking officials from the three provinces and six ministries above the temple, but also officials from all over the country."
"For example, you, for example, the entire Jiangnan Road officials...if calculated by faction, they are all his people!"
"How will the new emperor deal with this?"
"I don't know if this is Li Chenan's intention or not... In short, in this situation, even if the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne, he will still be a puppet emperor."
"Some people don't want to see this situation. What if someone wants Li Chenan to die in Shuzhou?"
Liu Zuo was startled again. He stared at Huang Sanlie with wide eyes. The expression on Huang Sanlie's face didn't look like he was joking.
The expression on Huang Sanlie's face is extremely serious!
These words have a deeper meaning!
The master of great achievements has been a taboo in all dynasties!
Li Chenan has actually achieved great success, and he has put the new emperor into an extremely embarrassing situation.
Liu Zuo didn't know whether this was a situation deliberately created by Li Chenan or an unintentional move, but in any case, this situation had been formed, and the contradictions in it were extremely difficult to reconcile.
In addition, if you think about it more profoundly, this is Shuzhou!
It is extremely far away from Kyoto. Even when the emperor was alive, this place was beyond his reach.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Zhongli Mansion is the king of Shuzhou!
Li Chenan is the future uncle of Zhongli Mansion!
It is possible for Li Chenan to die in any other place in Ningguo, but the only possibility is to die in Shuzhou!
unless……
"This is impossible!"
"I went to Zhongli Garden to meet the eldest son Zhongliyou two days ago. He is very much looking forward to Li Chenan's arrival!"
"Miss San is living in Zhongli Garden now!"
"Master Yuan Su, he is also in Zhongli Garden!"
"I drank tea with them all afternoon, and I didn't notice anything strange in their words or expressions!"
Huang Sanlie smiled slightly, "That's because they still don't know Mrs. Fan's order!"
"...What order?"
"Master doesn't know either!"
"...Isn't this just speculation?"
"Brother Liu, think about it carefully."
"After March 3 last year, Li Chenan's reputation gradually became louder in Guangling City."
"The third lady fell in love with him because of his poems, and then he was greatly appreciated by the Confucian scholar and the merchants and merchants."
"After Hua Laodaru returned to Beijing, he publicized his poems in Kyoto... In fact, his reputation as a fool from the previous seventeen years no longer exists."
"At this moment, the old lady summoned the third young lady to Kyoto... The master said, this is the first surprise!"
"Third Miss has been in Guangling City in recent years. Even if he wanted to treat Third Miss, Sun Tiexian could have gone to Guangling City, but the old lady just let Third Miss come to Beijing..."
"If Third Miss had not gone to Kyoto, it would have been impossible for Li Chenan to go to Kyoto!"
"That's the first irrationality."
"second……"
Huang Sanlie didn't say the second point because a person came into the yard.
He is Cai Yutang brought by Liu Zuo from Guangling City.
Cai Yutang bowed and said, "Sir, there is a young man outside who wants to see you."
"who?"
"The eldest son of Li Wenhou, Minister of Household Affairs, Li Chenxi!"
