Chapter 1220: Pushing the Boat with the Current
Lin Wan frowned and looked at Zhou Tianqi, and continued: "However, I don't want the casualties to be too large, can I use a more roundabout way to achieve victory, and don't use force to fight?"
Zhou Tianqi wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "There is someone who may be able to help us achieve this goal." ”
Lin Wan was stunned and asked with some hesitation: "Is this person you are talking about Xu Nuo, the current Zuo Prime Minister of Nanyue Kingdom?"
Zhou Tianqi pursed his lips and smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes." Xu Nuo's identity is very special, and if he wants to rebel, there are many people who will help him. If he agrees to our terms, we can also help him secretly. After he succeeds, we can also sign an agreement with him for a hundred years of peaceful coexistence. Besides, if there is a civil strife in the South Vietnamese Kingdom and the dynasty is changed, at least for 50 years, it will no longer be able to invade our Great Feudal State. ”
Lin Wan thought about it, took a deep breath, and nodded: "What you said is indeed a good way." However, Xu Nuo is a smart man and has been reused by Lan Shengtian, why should he rebel? Moreover, although Xu Nuo is Hong Qiong's illegitimate son, will Hong Qiong really betray Lan Shengtian in order to help him?"
Zhou Tianqi hooked his lips slightly, and explained in a low voice: "The person who wants to seek the usurper is Hong Qiong, Xu Nuo only needs to push the boat down the river and reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tianqi, and asked curiously, "How do you say this?"
Zhou Tianqi smiled slightly, hugged Lin Wan a little tighter, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "The current situation in Nanyue is also very complicated, and the dark tide is turbulent. This has a lot to do with the fact that you helped Xu Nuo's mother detoxify, and Xu Nuo returned to the court and was reused by Lan Shengtian. ”
Since Zhou Tianqi recognized Feng Xiangyu in Fengbie Mountain, he has been under the command and control of the Feng Family Army and the Shadowless Pavilion to a certain extent.
A few months ago, Zhou Tianqi had already sent the earth hall master who was specially responsible for finding out the news in the Shadowless Pavilion, and quietly lurked to Yuecheng, the capital of Nanyue Kingdom, with hundreds of subordinates, and used the flying eagle to transmit the big and small things that happened in Yuecheng every day, and sent them back to Fengming City, and then transferred them to Zhou Tianqi as soon as possible.
Therefore, what happened in Yuecheng recently, as well as the grievances and grievances more than 20 years ago, as well as what Xu Nuo did after returning to Yuecheng, how he became the prime minister of Zuo, and what Hong Qiong did, Zhou Tianqi is all clear.
In just a few months, the Tutang Master discovered many secrets about the royal family of the Nanyue Kingdom, and also discovered a shocking secret that had been buried for more than 20 years.
More than 20 years ago, Lan Shengtian had just ascended the throne as emperor, and Zhou Zongming, the former emperor of the Great Feudal Kingdom, gave Lan Shengtian a group of dancing girls as a congratulatory gift. And Xu Nuo's mother, Xu Xian'er, is the most beautiful and superb dancer among this group of dancers.
Lan Shengtian was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy at that time, although he had read countless women, he had never seen a woman as beautiful as Xu Xian'er, with an exotic style, gentle as water, eyes like electricity, and a body like a willow, but dancing and seducing the soul.
Within half a month, Lan Shengtian was already fascinated by Xu Xian'er, and insisted on keeping Xu Xian'er in his dormitory despite the opposition of all the courtiers.
However, there is an unwritten rule in the royal family of Nanyue that all the emperor's concubines must be from Nanyue, and it is absolutely not allowed to give birth to an heir with a woman from another country. Therefore, even if Lan Shengtian liked Xu Xian'er again, he didn't dare to give her a name, nor did he dare to let her conceive her own child.
Despite this, because Xu Xian'er was a dancing girl sent by the Great Feudal State, the courtiers still resolutely did not allow Lan Shengtian to leave Xu Xian'er in the palace, and the minister could not kneel outside the palace, and strongly demanded that Lan Shengtian kill this bewitching and seducing spy.
And at that time, in order to please Lan Shengtian, Queen Hong thought of a compromise and suggested that Lan Shengtian send Xu Xian'er to Hong's house, and wait for the rumors to pass in a few days, and then change Xu Xian'er's identity and take her into the palace.
Lan Shengtian was having a headache, and there was no better way. Seeing that Queen Hong was so generous and considerate, she agreed to Queen Hong's proposal and quietly sent Xu Xian'er to Hong's house. Then, by going to Hong's house to find Hong Qiong to discuss state affairs, he often went in and out of Hong's house and had private meetings with Xu Xian'er.
More than half a year later, Xu Xian'er became pregnant. However, she didn't dare to let anyone know the news, let alone tell Lan Shengtian. Because, if others knew that a dancing girl sent by a great feudal country was pregnant with the imperial heir, she would definitely not let her go, nor would she let go of her child.
However, in the days when Xu Xian'er lived in the Hong family, Hong Qiong also had a deep affection for this beautiful and gentle foreign woman, and often picked Lan Shengtian's absence to go to the courtyard where Xu Xian'er lived and secretly watched her play the piano and dance.
Xu Xian'er had already discovered Hong Qiong's voyeurism, and intentionally or unintentionally attracted the attention of the young general, which made Hong Qiong's heart itch.
Finally, on a disturbing rainy night, Hong Qiong walked into Xu Xian'er's room. From now on, as long as Lan Shengtian is not there, Hong Qiong will take advantage of the dead of night to have a warm time with Xu Xian'er.
No one knows whether the child in Xu Xian'er's belly is Lan Shengtian or Hong Qiong's. Therefore, Xu Xian'er said that whoever this child belongs to, it is who's.
Hong Qiong thought that the child was his own, so he helped Xu Xian'er hide this matter, and told Lan Shengtian that Xu Xian'er had a strange disease that could be contagious, so he couldn't see people.
Of course Lan Shengtian didn't believe it, and immediately went to Hong's house to take a look, but he didn't expect to see Xu Xian'er with a red face and rash, not only was she extremely ugly, but even the maid who took care of her around her had the same strange disease as her, saying that she was infected by her.
So, Lan Shengtian was convinced of Hong Qiong's words, entrusted Xu Xian'er to Hong Qiong's care, and invited the imperial doctor to treat Xu Xian'er. The imperial doctor was bribed by Queen Hong, and told Lan Shengtian that Xu Xian'er's illness could not be cured, so he could only use medicine to save his life and delay it for a few years.
Lan Shengtian was sad for a few days at first, but after a long time, he gradually forgot about Xu Xian'er.
Later, Hong Qiong was sent out to lead troops to fight and rarely returned home. After Xu Xian'er gave birth to a child, she devoted herself to raising the child and lived a life that no one cared about in the Hong family.
Hong Qiong's wife knew the relationship between Xu Xian'er and Hong Qiong, and she had a very bad attitude towards her, but she didn't dare to let her die, for fear that Lan Shengtian and Hong Qiong would ask and not be able to explain. So, she had to be left to fend for herself.
A few years later, Xu Xian'er was taking her five-year-old son Xu Nuo to read and write in her yard, but she was inadvertently seen by Lan Shengtian, who accompanied Queen Hong to Hong's mansion to attend Hong's mother's birthday banquet. Moreover, he was recognized by Lan Shengtian at a glance.
