Chapter 217 Changsun Jinghong
Old Yulou.
The building remains the same.
Changsun Jinghong and Wang Zhengjinzhong are now under the towering big-leafed banyan tree in the courtyard of the main courtyard of Jiuyu Building.
He looked up at the big-leafed banyan tree and suddenly said, "I remember that this tree and the crooked-neck tree in our Imperial City Division were planted in the same year."
"Tell me, why does the tree in the Old Yulou grow so well, but the tree in the Imperial City Division grows crookedly?"
Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the beard on his face trembled twice. He scratched his head and laughed: "I remember that there is such a one in Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, and it looks very good. As for the one in our Imperial City Division,
Why is it so crooked... It would be better for me to find Scholar Chang!"
Changsun Jinghong's old eyes stared, and he took two steps with his hands behind his back, "You old boy are giving me a thumbs up now?" "It's not urgent to find Scholar Chang. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, if that boy Li Chenan is still alive,
, he will naturally jump out."
"Sir, what you mean is...if Li Chenan is not dead on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Tai will send him to assassinate Li Chenan?"
Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Why use Chang Shusheng to kill Li Chenan?"
"...Then why did you say that Li Chenan would jump out before he was dead?"
"Li Chenan is not dead, there may be some changes in Kyoto!"
"Such an incident will make the situation chaotic. They have been waiting for so many years, and I am afraid they can no longer wait. But killing Li Chenan is not related to the overall situation!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong was stunned, "Then who to kill matters the overall situation?"
"Of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Zhengjinzhong was stunned, but he also understood that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really assassinated, although there was still a third prince, Ning Zhiyuan, from the information obtained by the Imperial City Department, Ji Tai and the Duke of Yan were already allies, so the prince's position
If it fell into the hands of the second prince Ning Zhixing, the benefits should have been distributed long ago.
As long as His Royal Highness the Second Prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, with this emperor's status, he will definitely attack his former opponents. As a result... the Dingguo Hou Mansion will obviously not be able to surrender, and the situation will inevitably be chaotic!
Just as Wang Zheng was making speculations, Changsun Jinghong said again:
"So, after you go back, you must always be by His Highness the Crown Prince's side. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is alive, at least the current situation will not get worse."
"I obey my orders!"
"Well... do you know the reason why no forces from all parties have taken action against Li Chenan now?"
Wang Zhengjinzhong shook his head.
Changsun Jinghong stood still, looked up at the gray sky, stroked his long beard and said, "Because everyone is watching at this time."
"The first thing to wait and see is whether Li Chenan can defeat the disciples of Wei Xuanmo from the Yue Kingdom at the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival."
"If he wins, if he gets the emperor's appreciation again, then those forces will consider Li Chenan's existence as a potential threat."
"If he loses... I guess Ji Tai or Concubine Ji have already made suggestions to the emperor. As long as he loses, the emperor will probably order his head to be chopped off."
"This is the best ending for Ji Tai and his family, because they borrowed the emperor's sword, so... even if the Dingguo Houfu is dissatisfied, it will be difficult to vent this dissatisfaction on Ji Tai and others."
"Secondly, the old lady at Dingguohou Mansion has not seen Li Chenan yet. This may mean to some people that Mrs. Fan's attitude towards Li Chenan is not clear yet and she is still hesitating."
"Then we went to assassinate Li Chen'an at this time. The bad guy was not killed, but instead it aroused the Dingguo Hou Mansion's protection of Li Chenan, which in turn facilitated Mrs. Fan's meeting with Li Chenan."
"Just like the last assassination in Huaxi Villa, Dingguo Houfu sent An Zizai to Huaxi Villa and became a concierge there."
"If it happens again, Li Chen'an is still alive... I'm afraid Dingguohou Mansion will put two of those old guys in Yinyue Pavilion next to Li Chen'an."
Only then did Wang Zheng Jinzhong realize that this boy Li Chenan was involved in many people and things.
He was not very good at this kind of conspiracy, but he vaguely felt that Li Chenan seemed to have become a pawn in the struggle between various forces.
In particular, Changsun Jinghong even mentioned the Hidden Moon Pavilion... The Hidden Moon Pavilion was built by Fan Taohua twenty years ago... that is, after the whole family of Lu Zhanxiao was wiped out.
Even the Imperial City Secretary doesn't know how many masters there are in the Hidden Moon Pavilion, but the Imperial City Secretary knows one of them. He is the madman in the Shenwu Army - Sikong Bao!
Once upon a time, Yin Yue Pavilion became the object of close attention by the high-ranking officials in Kyoto, even surpassing the disappearance of the eldest son of Empress Lu.
Because the Dingguo Hou Mansion established the Yin Yue Pavilion to hide countless masters, many high-ranking officials who knew about it wanted to prevent the story of getting on the train and waiting for the Mansion from happening again.
It's just that the crown prince had not yet been established at that time, Ji Tai had not yet taken control of the government, and there was no current incompatible situation.
But the existence of Yin Yue Pavilion has posed a huge threat to the other clans!
Who knows how Fan Taohua will use these knives?
Who knows whose head these knives might hit one day?
Such a threat is right in front of us, and the emperor's eldest son is missing... just missing. After all, there is no one in the Marquis Mansion, and after all, the emperor was still young and still alive at that time.
So at that time, someone wrote to the emperor to impeach Marquis Dingguo, thinking that Marquis Dingguo had wild ambitions and might have raised another Shangchehou Mansion!
The emperor at that time was not stupid!
Very diligent!
However, after this document, jointly signed by several people, was handed over to the emperor, it fell into disgrace and did not receive any response from the emperor.
In this regard, in the eyes of many people, the Dingguo Hou Mansion has become even more profound, and has even become an existence comparable to the five major princes' mansions.
"Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Even if those people in Yin Yue Pavilion are still alive, they are already in the year of wind and candle. I think that even if they come out, they will not be able to make waves."
Changsun Jinghong didn't comment on this sentence because he didn't know how many monsters were hidden in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.
Twenty years have passed, and Yin Yue Pavilion has faded out of people's sight.
If there are the same people inside, they are indeed old.
But since Fan Taohua established the Yin Yue Pavilion, she certainly wouldn't do it impulsively.
Of course, now the Imperial City Department no longer pays attention to Yin Yue Pavilion, because the Imperial City Department has too many things to pay attention to.
For example...the emperor's secret decree that has not been revoked to this day - to find the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son!
For example... it was also the secret decree from the emperor - the Meiyuan Incident in the third year of Zhaohua, the mysterious disappearance of Lu Zhanxiao's daughter, Princess Lu Xiaoyu of Yun'an, and the princess Qiao Zitong!
Of course, there are also some things he arranged himself, such as whose hand was behind the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake, etc.
There are too many things going wrong, and the Imperial City Department doesn't have enough manpower, so we can only catch the big ones and let go the small ones. Things like Yinyue Pavilion have long disappeared from people's sight. At least they haven't caused any harm yet. Its investigation data has been
It was classified as a secret file and stored in the eight-story dark building, so it is not the object that needs to be paid close attention to now.
Besides...there was no movement after the emperor signed the joint statement, which shows that the emperor knew about the Yin Yue Tower and even knew the secret of its existence.
The emperor doesn’t even care, he doesn’t care too much!
"Do you know why I want your son to go to Li Chenan?"
"...Sir, are you afraid that Li Chenan will die?"
"This is the main reason, and there is another reason."
"What is it?"
Changsun Jinghong took a deep breath and said, "I am old, and you are not young anymore."
"Stay a while Li Chenan, maybe... maybe your son can have a better future by staying with him!"
Wang Zhengjinzhong was shocked. He had just returned to Kyoto. He didn't know much about Li Chenan. Now he only knew that his poems and articles were excellent and that he was very likely to become the uncle of the Marquis of Dingguo.
He never expected that Mr. Changsun would pay so much attention to this young man. When he thought about it, this might be the reason why there was a Dingguo Marquis standing behind Li Chen'an.
He bowed slightly and whispered: "Sir, Miss Zhongli's illness... the news that the Imperial City Division received back then was that it could not be cured!"
"Mrs. Fan went to the palace to ask the emperor for those two medicines, but the emperor did not agree. This, because of the stupidity of my subordinates, I felt that Dingguo Hou Mansion might have lost the emperor's favor!"
Changsun Jinghong smiled slightly, "Do you really think Mrs. Fan is here to seek medicine?"
"...Is there any other explanation?"
"Mrs. Fan is just the emperor's attitude!"
"...But since the emperor has not administered the medicine, will Mrs. Fan just watch the third lady die like this?"
"Hehe," Changsun Jinghong shook his head:
"This is how women should not let men down!"
"Of course she won't just watch and let Zhongli disappear like water!"
"...What do you mean, sir?"
"Don't make random guesses. This is not something we need to care about. I only know that the third lady will not die at least this time!"
"Fan Taohua, she is not only a great master, her wisdom... Shang Di was so amazing back then, wasn't he also impressed by her wisdom?"
"The layout of Shuzhou...and now another Liu Zuo, Jiangnan Navy, is now in the hands of Dingguo Houfu."
"Without a sound, the waterway from Guangling to Shuzhou was firmly controlled by Dingguo Houfu."
"If something like getting into the Chehou Mansion happens again, the Dingguo Mansion will not make the same mistake again... You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!"
"In addition, even in the future...three to five years later, Zhongli Ruoshui's disease still cannot be cured. Now Li Chenan's reputation among literati has been as good as ever. If you give him another three to five years, with the support of Dingguo Houfu, you can
What do you think of Li Chenan’s future?"
"Fan Taohua has now understood Li Chenan's huge role, and I'm afraid it will be even more important in the future!"
"Even if Zhongli Ruoshui really died...there are still so many women who have not left the palace in the rooms of Dingguohou Mansion...and Li Chenan is a smart man, he also needs the support of Dingguohou Mansion, so now you understand that I want
Is there a reason why your son went to him?"
