In the middle of the night in China, a comment replied by Chu Xuan personally triggered discussions and exchanges between Xiaoxi and night owl netizens.
So much so that she didn't go to bed until dawn, and when she woke up, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
She hasn't had such a routine for a long time, and the appearance of "Legend of Red Flame" made her stay up all night for the first time in a long time.
"The replay is about to start!" Xiao Xi picked up her phone and checked the time, hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, then ran to the living room and turned on the TV.
She watched the advertisement for a while, and "Legend of Red Flame" came on time during the replay period, and began to replay the three episodes broadcast last night, which were also the episodes that followed the number of online episodes she had finished watching.
I stayed up all night and still haven't slept well yet.
In a daze, Xiao Xi forced herself to watch TV. Important figures in Xia Guo Yu's party and the secrets were revealed in her listless state.
One year before the first year of Xiping in Daliang, and thirty years before the main timeline in the play, the late emperor destroyed the Xia Kingdom.
After attacking the last fortress of the Xia Kingdom, which was also the capital of the Xia Kingdom, the late emperor ordered his princes Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi to attack the east and west gates respectively.
As an emperor, he handed over the final battle to his two sons. His intention was very obvious. This was a consideration between the princes. Whoever broke the city first would have the credit for destroying the country.
At a time when the crown prince had not yet been established, the significance of this contest was obviously extraordinary.
However, the defense strength of a country's capital is naturally very high. Although the remaining people of the Xia Kingdom are trapped in the capital, it is only a matter of time before the country is destroyed. However, it is also very difficult to break through the city gates, and there is a huge price to pay.
At that time, Princess Linglong, the eldest princess of the Xia Kingdom, was about to lose her family and her family. No matter how she resisted, she would inevitably be destroyed by Daliang.
So she came up with a plan and chose Xiao Xuan from the merciful Xiao Xuan and the upright Xiao Yi. She sent people to conspire with Xiao Xuan and moved part of the troops from the east city gate to set up an ambush in the west of the city, thereby reducing the pressure on Xiao Xuan to attack the city, and even
He also helped Xiao Xuan take advantage of the chaos to ambush Xiao Yi.
The only condition is to keep Princess Linglong's family alive.
Princess Linglong has a good eye for people, so Xiao Xuan chose to collude with the enemy in this situation, which was probably a fight for the prince.
The final result was that Xiao Xuan was the first to attack the city gate, and Xiao Yi was later attacked and died in ambush.
The late emperor was furious and wanted to massacre all the people in the Xia capital. The generals dissuaded him from killing unarmed people. After all, the Xia Kingdom was about to become the territory of Daliang. If a massacre was carried out, how would the people be able to live in peace in the future.
The late emperor became rational from this, but the royal family of Xia Kingdom suffered a disaster, and the entire Xia Kingdom palace was a river of blood.
Just when the late emperor wanted to kill Princess Linglong's clan members, Xiao Xuan kept his promise and successfully dissuaded the late emperor on the grounds that some of the royal women and children would be retained to stabilize the people's hearts when rebuilding the Xia Kingdom in the future, and made the late emperor put down the butcher's knife.
The reason why Xiao Xuan kept his promise was because he was afraid that if Princess Linglong revealed the secret before she was killed, he would be doomed.
Later, Daliang included Xia Kingdom in the national territory and called it Xiazhou.
When rebuilding Xiazhou, Princess Linglong was asked to appease the people. This trick was indeed effective and helped the court solve a lot of troubles.
The late emperor was overjoyed and completely changed his mind about killing Princess Linglong's clan. In order to let the world see his kindness, he imprisoned these people in Youyeting in Daliang Kyoto.
Youyeting is a normal village, but with limited personal freedom, it can be regarded as an open-air prison.
The secret between Xiao Xuan and Princess Linglong has always been a thorn in Xiao Xuan's heart.
Previously, Princess Linglong had been helping the court to appease the people of Xiazhou. Even if she gave Xiao Xuan 10,000 courages, he would not dare to assassinate Princess Linglong.
Princess Linglong stayed stably in Youyeting and seemed to have lost her value. Xiao Xuan finally had a chance to end it all.
Princess Linglong had long known that such a day would come. She was smart and resourceful. In order to prove her worth, she made plans for Xiao Xuan during a secret meeting with him.
Befriending Lin Xie, wooing Xie Yu, supporting Yan Que, and making friends with Xia Jiang were Princess Linglong's tactics for Xiao Xuan.
Sure enough, the rise and rise of these four people proved that Princess Linglong had unique vision. It was also with the help of these four people in the court that the late emperor finally gave Xiao Xuan the position of crown prince.
In other words, it was Princess Linglong who helped Xiao Xuan a lot.
Who wouldn't appreciate such a woman?
Xiao Xuan also fell in love with Princess Linglong, and then became pregnant.
The prince of the current dynasty had an affair with an enemy princess and had an heir? This was something that could affect Xiao Xuan's career as emperor.
However, at that time, Xiao Xuan had no heirs, and the princess was not able to support her. She either had a miscarriage during her pregnancy or the heirs she gave birth to died young.
Princess Linglong also begged for mercy in every possible way. Xiao Xuan also had a strong desire for an heir, but Xiao Xuan had no way to keep the child for the time being.
Perhaps God took pity on her, and it happened that the Crown Princess was pregnant at that time, but the imperial doctor said that the Crown Princess had suffered too many miscarriages and might not be able to survive the pregnancy, so Xiao Xuan came up with a plan.
In the tenth month of pregnancy, the Crown Princess miscarried again, and Princess Linglong of Youyeting had her belly broken immediately and gave birth to a son.
Xiao Xuan reversed the miscarriage of the son and the crown princess and claimed that he had a son.
This is the fifth pregnancy of the Crown Princess, and her son is Xiao Jingheng, the fifth prince of the current dynasty.
"Oh my God!" Xiao Xi was stunned, and suddenly woke up from her dazed state.
Prince Yu turned out to be the son of Emperor Liang and Princess Linglong?
In other words, King Yu is also a bloodline of the Xia Kingdom’s royal family?
So, if King Yu ascends the throne, does that mean that the Xia Kingdom succeeded in restoring the country?
"That's not right. Emperor Liang also knows that King Yu has the blood of the Xia Kingdom's royal family. Is he really willing to watch King Yu successfully ascend the throne?" Xiao Xi muttered in her heart.
She continued to read with doubts.
Princess Linglong saw that her son could be saved, and her years of imprisonment finally saw the light of day.
However, Princess Linglong knew clearly that her existence would always be a needle in Xiao Xuan's heart.
Not only the connection back then, but also the matter of the offspring. Only when she dies will everything be completely peaceful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She was delivered by caesarean section early and has not recovered from her serious injuries. Xiao Xuan wanted to have someone treat her secretly, but she refused.
Xiao Xuan knew about Princess Linglong's choice and could only hear the news of Princess Linglong's death in the palace but could not see her for the last time.
Out of guilt for Princess Linglong, under Xiao Xuan's secret protection, although Youyeting was imprisoned, its quiet life was never disturbed.
After the death of Princess Linglong, it was logical that her sister Princess Xuanji took control of Youyeting's affairs.
Under the leadership of Princess Xuanji, the remaining members of the Xia Kingdom lived a fairly stable life for twenty years.
But no one knows that Princess Linglong has never let go of her hatred, and the same is true for her sister Princess Xuanji.
Princess Linglong has died long ago, so the responsibility of revenge falls on Princess Xuanji.
But she is imprisoned in Youye Court and cannot come in and out freely. How can she take revenge? Can she rely on King Yu?
When the camera went to Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Xi watched Qin Banruo dressing up in front of the dressing table. Qin Banruo's sleeves slipped down inadvertently, and the camera showed a close-up, showing a mark on his arm.
"Qin Banruo is also a remnant of the Xia Kingdom!" Xiao Xi said. This mark is the same as Gong Yu's mark. Since Gong Yu is identified as a remnant of the Xia Kingdom, Qin Banruo is obviously also one.
But considering the background plot of Princess Linglong, Qin Banruo can also understand it if he is a member of the Xia Kingdom's remaining party. After all, Prince Jing is half of the Xia Kingdom's royal family. If the Xia Kingdom's remaining party wants to restore the country, it is normal for Youyeting to arrange for someone to assist.
However, when King Yu walked in, Qin Banruo quickly covered the mark with the sleeve on his hand.
"This...Qin Banruo doesn't want King Yu to know that he is a remnant of the Xia Kingdom?" Xiao Xi was surprised, and it seemed that King Yu didn't know that he was a remnant of the Xia Kingdom's royal family, otherwise there was no need for these two people to hide it.
After King Yu left, Qin Banruo took out a thin piece of fake skin from the box and covered it on his hand, completely covering up the mark, just like real skin.
When Xiao Xi saw this piece of fake leather, she felt something strange, but she didn't have any clue and stopped thinking about it.
She now knows that from Princess Linglong to Princess Xuanji of Youyeting, to Qin Banruo and Prince Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion, they are probably the core figures of the Xia Kingdom's remnant party who want to restore the country.
No wonder it was commented that Xia Guoyudang is the Avengers.
However, whether they want to restore the country or take revenge, what does it have to do with the Red Flame Army? What energy do they have to destroy the Red Flame Army?
Rely on King Yu?
But King Yu didn't know that he was a remnant of the Xia Kingdom. What reason did King Jing have to destroy the Red Flame Army?
Xiaoxi is a little confused.
Until the camera showed Qin Banruo, until Qin Banruo and Xia Jiang had a secret meeting, a shocking secret was revealed.
In the second year of Xiping, Xiazhou began to rebuild. Many officials who were transferred from Daliang did not regard the people of Xiazhou as human beings and often implemented harsh measures, which caused the people of Xiazhou to rebel from time to time. Later, Princess Linglong comforted them and gradually eased the tension.
.
If we want Xiazhou to be stabilized quickly, it depends on the stability of the people.
To stabilize people's hearts, Princess Linglong can only play a propaganda role at most, but it is ultimately a problem of officials.
In order to beat the officials, the late emperor secretly promoted one of Princess Linglong's bodyguards to serve as a supervisor.
Use Xia people who have hatred for Liang to monitor Liang's officials, thereby protecting the interests of the people of Xiazhou and improving the efficiency of Xiazhou's reconstruction work.
This native of the Xia State, whose country was destroyed, had a hatred for the officials of the Liang State. Those officials who were corrupt and perverted the law were exposed one by one. The late emperor brought them to justice one by one. A few years later, those who came to Xia Province to serve as officials
People no longer dared to act recklessly, and Xiazhou's reconstruction work quickly became more efficient.
This is the late emperor's method, this is the late emperor's imperial mentality, one word: absolute!
After Xiazhou was completely stabilized, the late emperor had a bigger idea from this move. Just monitoring Xiazhou was nothing. Using the Xia people's hatred of Liang to monitor the world would be more beneficial to the late emperor's control of the entire Liang Dynasty.
In this way, during the Qingping period, the Xuanjing Division was established, and the Xia Kingdom guard who was secretly promoted by the late emperor changed his name and became the head of the Xuanjing Division.
This person is Xia Jiang.
"I'm going!!" Xiao Xi's scalp was numb. She was still lying on the sofa, but she sat up immediately.
This secret revelation shocked her even more than knowing that Prince Yu was the son of Princess Linglong.
After watching so many episodes, she knew how powerful the Xuanjing Division was.
Xia Jiang is the head of the Xuanjing Division and a member of the Xia Kingdom's remnant party. This is probably the secret weapon left behind by Princess Linglong!
So, if Xia Guoyu's party is related to the Chiyan tragedy, and there is an intelligence organization like Xia Jiang who can monitor the world, then everything is possible.
Why did the Jiangzuo League secretly come to Kyoto to investigate for several years, but found almost no clues?
Why did Nie Feng, the main general of Chiyan, die, and his wife Xia Dong, who had been depressed for ten years, did not investigate?
Why could the remaining members of the Xia Kingdom send Qin Banruo to assist King Yu even though they were under house arrest?
It’s no wonder that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty hated Xia Jiang and Xuan Jingsi. Having such a Xia man who had hatred for Liang Guo supervising them was like having a knife hanging over his head that could be cut off at any time.
"Humph, Xia Jiang, it turns out you are the big BOSS! You hide it so deeply!" Xiao Xi was dissatisfied.
The next moment, she wondered again: "Xia Jiang is a remnant of the Xia Kingdom. Doesn't Emperor Liang know that? Just indulge Xia Jiang like this?"
As the plot progressed, Xiaoxi also understood.
Before the late emperor died, he gave Emperor Liang two posthumous edicts. In addition to appointing Mu Nihuang as the marshal of the Yunnan Army, the other one was to get rid of Xia Jiang.
As for why, the late emperor did not say.
The late emperor's civil and military skills brought peace to the Xia Kingdom, retreated from the northern Rong, and controlled the southern frontier. This illustrious name allowed him to die in peace, and he was respected by the world and worshiped by hundreds of officials.
Once it is revealed that Xia Jiang, the Xuanjing Division, is from the Xia Kingdom and was promoted by himself, the prestige of the late emperor will be greatly reduced. At least the children of those aristocratic families who were eradicated by him due to the existence of the Xuanjing Division will be extremely resentful.
The late emperor did not dare to say the reason, and he was also afraid that his son Xiao Xuan would misunderstand him, so Xiao Xuan never knew Xia Jiang's identity from the beginning to the end.
The most important thing is that Xiao Xuan did not listen to the late emperor's words. The institution of Xuanjing Division is very tempting to the emperor. Who doesn't want an institution that monitors the world? Who doesn't want to have such eyes and ears?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Furthermore, if Xia Jiang is eliminated and this hole is opened, then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely recommend that the entire Xuanjing Division be eradicated. After all, no one wants to be hidden all day long.
Where are the people monitoring.
This is not what Xiao Xuan wants to see, so that's why Xia Jiang and Xuanjing Division exist today.
"Hey, it's all lust for power. If Xia Jiang is eliminated, there won't be so many things." Xiao Xi muttered.
Now it seems that the dead Princess Linglong has her own plan, Princess Xuanji is here to maintain this plan, Qin Banruo helps Prince Yu gain power in the court, and Xia Jiang uses the Xuanjing Division to cover up all this. This is the real avenger.
The alliance is really quite powerful.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Xi got off the sofa, put on her shoes, and trotted to the door.
"Thank you, how much is it?" She called a nearby restaurant to deliver fast food, paid, closed the door, and returned to the sofa in the living room with the food.
The three replayed episodes have ended, and the background of Youyeting derived from Gong Yu's clue is revealed, using the lens language of the three main characters, Princess Xuanji, Qin Banruo, and Xia Jiang.
These three episodes are interspersed with the plot of the protagonist team looking for clues, including the whereabouts of the money from selling military rations, the reasons for the inferior equipment of the Red Flame Army, and the collection of information related to Youyeting.
When Xiao Xi finished her meal, she watched the news broadcast for half an hour. Today's three episodes started on time. Except for the news broadcast during the period, they were almost seamlessly connected to the rebroadcast. This is the super high value given to "Legend of Red Flame" by Mango Channel.
treatment.
There is no way, who can make the ratings high?
Xiaoxi thought happily, and then started watching the follow-up plot of the replay. Now she was officially following the progress of the drama in sync with the vast audience across the country.
The TV broadcast started, and as the plot of the protagonist group progressed, a breaking news was finally found out.
Through various investigations, Mei Changsu finally found clues to the whereabouts of the money from selling military grain.
"Prince Yu's Mansion!" Xiao Xi exclaimed, then calmed down.
Through the exposure of Xia Guoyu's party in the previous three episodes, she understands this result.
There are 128 houses in Kyoto, one of which is called Qinghuafang.
During the Qingping period, a brothel courtyard named Hong Xiuzhao was located in this square.
Hong Xiuzhao had little momentum at the beginning, but it slowly gained momentum after years of development.
Until the fourth year of Jingan ten years ago, that is, the year when Chi Yan was destroyed, the power of Hong Xiuzhao expanded rapidly and became affiliated with Prince Yu's Mansion.
This is understandable to ordinary people. After all, he is Prince Yu. Isn’t it easy to develop a family business?
If it is an ordinary force that develops the business so quickly, if it is not kept intact, it will be targeted by others or investigated by the Mirror Division.
But who dares to investigate?
Therefore, no one is surprised by the rise of red sleeve tactics.
When Mei Changsu found this clue, he just suspected that the rise of the Red Sleeve Move and the destruction of the Red Flame coincided too much. It would make sense to say that the Red Sleeve Move developed so rapidly because of the money from selling military rations. But,
We can't just use this as a basis. King Yu is involved behind everything. This is not an ordinary force. We need to be more rigorous.
It wasn't until Mei Changsu visited Zhuo Qing's wife many times that he got key clues from Mrs. Zhuo's mouth.
It was so long ago that Mrs. Zhuo could only recall a fragment, saying that Zhuo Qing asked her to deliver some grain to a brothel in Qinghuafang ten years ago, but the grain was packed in boxes, which made her a little strange.
Not much information.
Mei Changsu concluded that the box contained money, and Jing'an Trading Company sent the money from the sale of military rations to Hong Xiuzhao in the name of delivering food!
Although there is no evidence, Mu Nihuang is also partial to Mei Changsu's view.
Not everyone dares to make decisions about the Red Flame Army's rations. The man behind the Red Sleeve Move is King Yu. If it is King Yu and a power at the level of King Yu, then this logic is correct.
"It's clear now that Zhuo Di was deceived into subcontracting Red Flame's army rations. The person behind the scenes found out about the serious crime of beheading, so he threatened General Zhuo Di to sell the rations through serious channels in the name of a trading company. In the end, all the money went to Hong Xiu.
The move, and the person behind the Red Sleeve Move is King Yu, so no one will question the power of the Red Sleeve Move in these years." Meng Zhi said.
"The Chiyan case..." Prince Jing paused for a moment: "It probably wasn't Prince Yu's fault. I know him best. He only wanted to be the prince and sit on the dragon chair. He usually cherishes feathers very much. He has no reason for such a big thing.
I don’t dare to do this, it will destroy everything he has built.”
"It's not him, there should be someone else." Mu Nihuang frowned slightly: "The money flows to Hongxiu Zhao, and Hongxiu Zhao is affiliated with Prince Yu's Mansion. Even if there is no objection due to the existence of Prince Yu, the rapid rise of one party's power, even if the Xuanjing Division is not
If you investigate Prince Yu's Mansion, you will also know a thing or two about the Red Sleeve Move. You have to ask Xia Dong about this."
The camera turned and came to an inn on a starry night.
Zhuo Di's long-lost face appeared in the eyes of the national audience, but his experience was not good. As soon as he went to bed and fell asleep, there were men in black outside blowing poisonous gas from bamboo tubes.
Obviously, someone wants to kill Zhuo Di.
"Are you from the Xuanjing Department?"
"Where are the people from the Jiangzuo League? Save him."
Xiao Xi, like the audience across the country, was a little nervous when seeing this scene. Although Zhuo Di is bad, Zhuo Di has many secrets that are of great use to the protagonist group, and they don't want Zhuo Di to die.
But the plot didn't give the audience a conclusion. The scene switched to the secret room of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Xia Dong shook his head: "Xuanjing Division has never investigated the Red Sleeve Moves, and Si Qing did not issue any instructions in this regard at that time. According to Si Qing's character, he would check the properties of the powerful families in Kyoto, but not the Red Sleeve Moves. We also had some problems at that time.
It's strange, but I just thought it was Prince Yu behind him and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I gave up."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Nihuang, Prince Jing and Meng Zhi all frowned.
The next moment, Mei Changsu walked in from the secret passage and said something that shocked everyone.
"As soon as Zhuo Di escaped from the capital and found an inn to stay, he was hunted down at Xingye. Someone was blowing poison outside the window. My people followed the masked man all the way, and finally disappeared in a ruined temple."
"The ruined temple is a common hiding place for outsiders from the Xuanjing Division."
After hearing Xia Dong's words, audiences across the country understood that if the Xuanjing Division assassinated Zhuo Di, it was confirmed that there was something wrong with Xia Jiang!
"Where's Zhuo Di?"
"Before he was poisoned, my people took him away unconscious and put him in the guest room next to him. The inn has also taken care of it. When the news comes out at dawn that no one is dead, it will give the pursuers a way to find fault.
The illusion of a room.”
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
"So smart." Xiao Xi, like the audience across the country, gave a thumbs up to the Jiangzuo League members.
On the screen, everyone's expressions darkened again.
"After the incident, Xia Jiang went to Dali Temple. This matter has nothing to do with Yan Hou..."
"impossible."
Before Mei Changsu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Nihuang and Prince Jing at the same time.
It seems that Mu Nihuang and Prince Jing know Yanhou very well, otherwise they would not have taken such measures.
"Is Yan Hou a good person?" Xiao Xi frowned.
Mu Nihuang and Prince Jing didn't say much, and Mei Changsu didn't ask too much. One was Lin Shu's wife and the other was Lin Shu's brother. Both of them trusted Yan Hou in the suspicious case, so he could only
You can choose to believe.
Then the next question is about Red Sleeve Moves, Prince Yu's Mansion and Xia Jiang.
Liu Yifei stood up and walked slowly back and forth to think.
"Red Sleeve Moves, Xia Jiang doesn't check."
"The name of Youye Court is imprisonment. Gong Yu's family leaving the city shows that imprisonment is a joke and there must be someone behind it."
"Dare to help Xia Guo's remaining party, and have not been discovered for so many years, Xia Jiang, Secretary of the Hanging Mirror..."
Liu Yifei paused and looked at Yu Nan without saying anything.
"Speak directly if you have something to say." Yu Nan said angrily: "With the look in your eyes, you must have had some evil idea when you were a child."
Liu Yifei smiled brightly, and Ren Quan, Qiao Zhenyu, and Fan Shaohuang lowered their heads and laughed after hearing this joke.
Xiao Xi and many viewers across the country were very happy. It is rare for this drama to have such an interesting complaint.
"Xia Guo's remaining party and the people in the court must be very interested in this."
"I don't believe that Hong Xiuzhao can only do business with so much money."
"In the name of Cha Xia's remnant party, is it possible to overturn the entire Red Sleeve Movement?"
Yu Nan, who plays Xia Dong, narrowed his eyes: "Okay, give me some time to gather people, and I will help you turn the red sleeves upside down to see if there is really any unknown secret."
The screen went black, and today's episode ended.
"Ah - not again!" Xiao Xi was listening to the theme song of "The Beauty of the Old Lady", and it was about to reach the climax of the plot when it suddenly cut off, making her extremely uncomfortable.
