Chapter 548 Under Secret

Mei Fangxi was startled suddenly, he stared at Hua Manting with his old eyes wide open, and after a while, he asked in a low voice in disbelief:

"Isn't the emperor's eldest son the son of Emperor Zhaohua?"

"You mean...the one who killed Empress Lu was also Emperor Zhaohua?!"

Hua Manting nodded slightly: "Exactly!"

Mei Fangxi was dumbfounded: "But in the first year of Zhaohua, when she married Emperor Zhaohua, Ning Jingrong had already been imprisoned in Luoying Palace!"

"She was imprisoned, but she didn't die! Someone helped Empress Lu go to Luoying Palace many times."

"...Who is so courageous?"

"Fan Taohua!"

Mei Fangxi took a breath:
"This... how do you know?"

"On the night when Lu Zhanxiao's entire family was destroyed, a man escaped from Luoying Palace, his name is Ning Jingyu!"

"He is in Sifeng City in Yue Kingdom. Wen Zhuyu went to meet him once. If you don't believe me, you can go to Sifeng City and ask Ning Jingyu to find out!"

Mei Fangxi asked again at this moment: "Why did Fan Taohua do this?"

"Because Fan Taohua owed Ning Jingrong a favor! She was able to marry Zhong Lipo back then, and it was Ning Jingrong who made it possible!"

"Ning Jingrong was still young at that time!"

"It is precisely because Ning Jingrong is young that Ning Jingrong is very fond of Emperor Jingtai, and he begged for the will of Emperor Jingtai!"

"Fan Taohua is very grateful to Ning Jingrong, but she didn't expect that there would be a big problem in the succession of the throne."

"She's powerless."

"Ning Jingrong was imprisoned in the Luoying Palace by Emperor Zhaohua, and ordered to the Shangchehou Mansion to marry Lu Yueting as his wife and make him a queen..."

"Lu Yueting was about to commit suicide, but was persuaded by Fan Taohua."

"She married Emperor Zhaohua and became the queen of Ningguo, winning three years for Shangchehoufu!"

"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, I got on the bus and waited for rebellion, which fell into the arms of Emperor Zhaohua."

"The Scarlet Flame Army had just left Wuya Pass, and Emperor Zhaohua knew the news. He preemptively stunned all the masters in Lu Zhanxiao's house with a blur, and killed Lu Zhanxiao's family in one fell swoop!"

"Then, Emperor Zhaohua threatened the life of Empress Lu to force the Red Flame Army to retreat, and asked Lu Hou, the general of the Red Flame Army at that time, to return to Kyoto to plead guilty."

"Lu Hou committed suicide in front of the gate of Shangchehou's Mansion."

"The Lu family...is no longer a threat to Emperor Zhaohua."

"Empress Lu knew that the situation was over, so she sent her personal maid, Si Qin, to Dingguohou's mansion, and gave Fan Taohua a letter."

"Thus, Fan Taohua asked He Xishan to fight Qin Huaiyu on the top of the Forbidden City. That battle attracted the attention of the masters in the palace. She went to the palace, and she used the blur to arrange Emperor Zhaohua to be Queen Lu. All the masters around me fell down and took that child away!"

"That part of the past is roughly like this."

Mei Fangxi was already dumbfounded.

He knew that the destruction of Shangchehou's Mansion was due to Lu Zhanxiao's ulterior motives to avenge Ning Jingrong. Now it seems that this matter is half right!
The reason why it is half right is that Lu Zhanxiao wanted to rebel back then, I am afraid there was another factor——

He found out that his sister Lu Yueting was pregnant with Ning Jingrong's child!

Emperor Zhaohua probably realized that the child in Lu Yueting's stomach was not his.

Lu Zhanxiao must rebel!

Because he has no other choice.

So he acted very hastily, so that the Red Flame Army was too busy to leave Wu Ya Pass, and failed to hide their whereabouts.

So, could this be done on purpose by Emperor Zhaohua?
Probably not.

As the emperor, he absolutely could not accept the strategy of using a green hat to force Shangchehoufu to rebel.

Or maybe it was because of this blow that Emperor Zhaohua built the Changle Palace in despair.

It's just that Emperor Zhaohua didn't know where Empress Lu's son was until his death.

This is a matter of shame for the royal family, so this matter has naturally become a secret past.

"Where did Fan Taohua send that child?"

"I stayed in Dingguohou's mansion, and after the matter of getting on the bus and waiting for the mansion subsided, I handed over the child to He Xishan."

"He Xishan brought the child to Shuzhou... After that, Fan Taohua started to manage Shuzhou."

"For this reason, Fan Taohua asked Yuan Su to leave the Shenwu Army, and Yuan Su trained an army of 5 people in Shuzhou, called the Shenwei Army."

"This army was left by Fan Taohua to the eldest son of the emperor!"

"She firmly believes that Ning Jingrong's blood should inherit the Ning Kingdom's throne!"

Mei Fangxi took a sip of wine, "Li Chen'an is here to welcome back the eldest son of the emperor... Although Li Chen'an is indeed suspected of having great meritorious deeds, Li Chen'an has no intention of becoming an emperor at all!"

"Can't they talk?"

"What I mean is, Li Chen'an still wants to go to Wu country for Zhongli Ruoshui's sake. He can't care about Ning country's affairs at all. He can treat the eldest son of the emperor honestly...won't he be able to get along peacefully?"

Hua Manting stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "That's imperial power!"

"Imperial power is supreme and unique, and there is no such thing as peaceful coexistence!"

"The eldest son of the emperor must kill Li Chenan if he wants to secure his seat on the dragon chair and hold on to power...Fan Taohua obviously knows it well, so she asked Li Chenan to come to Shuzhou...not for Li Chenan to welcome back the emperor. The eldest son, but buried Li Chenan in Shuzhou!"

Mei Fangxi interrupted Hua Manting: "It doesn't make sense. If Fan Taohua wants to kill Li Chen'an, he can kill Li Chen'an in the capital while she is alive!"

Hua Manting stroked his long beard, and said something similar to Huang Sanlie:

"She wants to use Li Chen'an's life and death to draw Xi Wei out."

"In Shuzhou, the most surefire place to kill Xi Wei and Li Chen'an!"

"...Is Zhongli Ruoshui's disease?"

Hua Manting shook his head: "It cannot be cured at all, and no one can practice the Heavenly Art of Immortality to reach the Great Perfection."

Mei Fangxi took a deep breath, and there was a deep worry in her old eyes.

It's almost the same as Liu Zhuozhi's thought.

After listening to Hua Manting's narration of Li Chenan's strategies for governing the country, he felt that although those strategies had flaws, the flaws did not hide their merits, and they were of great benefit to Ningguo.

He also likes Li Chenan's poems and essays very much, and feels that if such a young man can control the rudder of Ningguo, he may be able to lead Ningguo to an unprecedented splendor.

No one knew what happened to the eldest son of the emperor.

Obviously, Li Chenan's ascension to the throne is the best choice.

"Why didn't you tell Li Chenan directly about this?"

"I think he hasn't passed the Jianmen Pass yet, you told him, and he went back home to avoid this killing situation, wouldn't it be better?"

Hua Manting picked up his wine glass and took another sip, "People in Zhongli Mansion still don't know that Fan Taohua is planning to kill Li Chen'an and Xi Wei."

"I'm very curious about how Fan Taohua's murder was triggered."

"I'm still very curious about who the eldest son of the emperor is!"

"Fan Taohua wants to use that eldest son of the emperor and Zhongli Ruoshui as bait to lure Li Chenan into Shu Province...I also want to use Li Chenan to catch the eldest son of the emperor!"

"The eldest son of the emperor must die!"

Hua Manting put down his wine glass, with a serious face: "Just like Fan Taohua thinks that Li Chen'an must die!"

Mei Fangxi frowned: "You crazy!"

"Just now Li Wenhou's eldest son, Li Chenxi, came to my place. Li Wenhou asked me to go to Jianmen Pass to stop Li Chen'an... You have told me so much, what do you want me to do?"

"What can I do?"

Hua Manting grinned: "Don't stop Li Chen'an."

"I hope you sharpen your sword and go to Xishan to do something for me when the time comes!"

"……What's up?"

"The peach blossoms in Xishan are in full bloom."

"Just drink a jug of wine, recite a poem, and cut off peach blossoms all over the mountain!"

PS: Chapter three, I really can't afford it.

In addition, the last tone really likes Mao Da's work, the picture is so beautiful.
