Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

In the small cabin next to the big-leaved banyan tree in the backyard.

Zhongli Ruoshui also poured a cup of tea for Fan Taohua at this moment.

"That's what Chen An means, grandma, how do you decide?"

Fan Taohua was silent for a long time, and her face was very puzzled: "Why does he think that in the situation of Shuangjiao Mountain, the emperor will send troops to do the yellow sparrow?"

"Besides...... He said let's evacuate Kyoto, since the emperor is in Changle Palace, is it necessary for him to make Kyoto chaotic and even bloody?"

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment, "Last night, that girl named Wen Xiaowan came to the Plum Garden, and she was Wen Zhuyu's daughter. ”

Fan Taohua was slightly stunned, "This is what warm boiling rain means?"

"Well," Zhongli Ruoshui nodded, "Chen An showed me the letter, and it said that Xi Wei was most likely in Changle Palace. ”

"As for the emperor, there are two speculations in that letter. ”

"One is the incident that involved Jingtai for 34 years. ”

The granddaughter didn't know about it, but the letter made it clearer. ”

Fan Taohua was slightly startled, "What did you say?"

The letter said that on the day of the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai, that is, the year of the first emperor's great trip, the Imperial City Division caught fire and the fire soared to the sky...... After that, the Imperial City Division was in ruins. ”

"It's not just people who are burned, it's a file of the past that is burned!"

"It also said that the first emperor had seven sons, and the current emperor ranks fourth!"

"The edict of the new emperor's accession to the throne was written by Mr. Chunfu, and the first emperor dictated before his death, and the throne should have been passed to the second prince Ning Jingrong!"

"But when the decree was announced, the edict was changed, so the current emperor ascended the throne as the emperor!"

Then, the six sons of the first emperor were all imprisoned in the Luoying Palace by the emperor's decree. ”

"There is one more thing in the letter, Lu Zhanxiao was originally the house slave of the second prince Ning Jingrong. ”

"In the twenty-fifth year of Jingtai, Lu Zhanxiao was recommended by Ning Jingrong to lead the army to attack Yong, he did not live up to Ning Jingrong's expectations, destroyed the Yong Kingdom in the twenty-seventh year of Jingtai, returned to Kyoto in the thirtieth year of Jingtai, and was named the general of the auxiliary country by the first emperor, and waited for the car!"

"The person he wanted to assist was originally the second prince Ning Jingrong. ”

"After the emperor ascended the throne as the emperor, he issued an edict in the third year of Zhaohua to destroy Lu Zhan!"

"It stands to reason that since then, the emperor should sit back and relax, but Baimi has made some mistakes...... The eldest daughter-in-law who got on the bus and waited for Lu Zhanxiao happened to be in Meiyuan, and she was pregnant. Meiyuan was implicated because of this, but coincidentally, after all the people in Meiyuan were killed, they failed to find the bodies of the county lord of Yun'an, the county horse and Lu Zhanxiao's eldest daughter-in-law. ”

"The Plum Garden was surrounded by guards, and no one knew how they escaped, but there was no more to hear from them. ”

"In addition, the emperor's brothers who were imprisoned in Luoying Palace died five after another, but the youngest Ning Jingyu escaped from Luoying Palace in the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, that is, the night when Lu Zhanxiao was destroyed...... Wen Zhuanyu said that this should have been done by a eunuch named Wei San, and Ning Jingyu was now taking refuge in Yueguo. ”

Therefore, Wen Zhuanyu thinks that these things seem to have something to do with Queen Lu. Empress Lu was obviously aware of her danger, so she sent away the emperor's eldest son, who had just completed the moon, and then was actually given to die, claiming that she was hanged in grief because of the loss of the emperor's eldest son. ”

"These disappeared people, the emperor ordered the eldest grandson Jinghong to track them down so far, and there is still no news...... He said that maybe the eldest grandson Jinghong knew, but he didn't tell the emperor, because the crooked-necked big-leaf banyan of the Imperial City Division was planted by Queen Lu herself!"

The emperor was afraid, so he moved out of the palace and went to Changle Palace. ”

"And the situation of Shuangjiao Mountain, the emperor's intention is probably to attract everyone's attention, but the final landing is in Kyoto!"

"Because whether it is the Dingguo Marquis Mansion or the Chengguo Mansion or the Qi Mansion all know about the incident in the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai, and they used to have close contacts with Lu Zhanxiao. ”

That's the first reason why Onshuyu thinks Kyoto is unsafe. ”

Fan Taohua listened carefully, but the originally puzzled look on her face disappeared.

"And what's the second reason?"

"The emperor is being held hostage!"

Fan Taohua raised her eyes, "Who is holding you hostage?"

"Xi Wei!"

"What do you use to hold the emperor hostage?"

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, "Wen Boiling Yu didn't say." ”

Fan Taohua was silent for a long time, then slowly stood up, walked to the door, looked at the autumn rain outside, and his eyes fell on the big-leaved banyan by the pond, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"There are some things that my grandmother wants to do, but she can't make up her mind to do them. ”

Sometimes, my grandmother felt very tired and wanted to go back to the carefree good times when she used to fight in the world. ”

"So grandma never asks you for anything, she just wants you to live your best life at the best age. ”

"Grandma thought she could protect you for the rest of your life, but she forgot that grandma would eventually walk ahead of you. ”

"The Dingguo Marquis Mansion was sealed by the first emperor after Jingtai's victory in the first battle against Hui in the thirteenth year of ......"

"From the moment Zhongli Mansion was named the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion had the responsibility to protect the country, and grandma could no longer rely on her own temperament as before. ”

"This head is a shackle, but I can't get rid of it. ”

"Grandma's layout in Shuzhou was originally to leave a way out for the given Guohou Mansion, because grandma knew that the situation in Ningguo was getting more and more severe. ”

Fan Taohua turned around, looked at Zhongli Ruoshui with a kind face, and said:

"When the emperor was building Changle Palace, grandma wanted to burn that place on fire...... After all, I still gave up, this is that my grandmother is old and has too many scruples. ”

But now, grandma sees a little hope in Chen'an. ”

"He's ambitious, but it's still not enough. ”

"Because he asked his grandmother to send troops to occupy Tai'an Castle, the southern gateway of Kyoto, but he didn't say anything about further occupying this Kyoto!"

So grandma drank tea with Cheng Guogong and Qi Guogong all afternoon, and finally decided to push him, by the way, to see if he could overthrow this decaying dynasty. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui was shocked, she looked at Fan Taohua with wide eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Since Changle Palace has 100,000 troops, but after all, this Jade Capital City is the capital of Ning Kingdom, so there is another purpose for occupying Jade Capital City...... Draw out the soldiers of Changle Palace. ”

"It's been a long time since you've seen your grandfather, he's not in the Shenwu Army, he's in the Guangling Water Division. ”

"Your brother Zhongli Qiuyang set off from Linshui Port according to Chen'an's plan, and most of those warships were temporarily modified by Cao boats, which cost a lot of silver, but it was worth it. ”

"There were more sailors on the warship than the sailors of the Guangling Naval Division, but 30,000 soldiers from Shuzhou...... It is the soldiers who were recruited and trained by those mountain bandits who once followed Huang Sanlie in Shuzhou...... Huang Sanlie, these people were not bandits before, but serious border soldiers!"

"Zhongli Qiuyang's sailor is not only to eliminate the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake, the sailor will go directly to Kyoto and cooperate with the Shenwu army to fight!"

"Kyoto is really going to be chaotic, so you and Ruo draw them, grandma has already arranged it...... Zhong Lidang will take a battalion of Shenwu troops to escort you to Guangling City for temporary refuge. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui also stood up.

She had not expected the situation to evolve like this.

Beneath this calm surface, there is already a huge undercurrent surging.

"Is this a rebellion?"

Fan Taohua smiled slightly: "This is to save the country!"

"It's too dangerous, grandma, let's go together!"

"Grandma is old, besides, grandma is a great master after all, the place in Changle Palace is so mysterious, maybe there are still masters who need grandma's help!"

“...... Isn't there a Hidden Moon Pavilion?"

"They have another task. ”

"What task?"

"Kill a beggar, kill a scholar...... Maybe kill a nun!"
