Li Chenan felt the warmth of spring in Zhongli Ruoshui's boudoir.

Liu Zuo had returned to his small courtyard in the backyard of the government office.

The spring rain is still there.

The night is already deep.

There was still an angry lantern burning in the pavilion in the small courtyard.

Huang Sanlie was sitting under the lamp, looking at the rain in the night with great anxiety.

He already knew that Li Chenan did not follow Liu Zui to the government office, but went to Zhongli Garden.

This is not unexpected.

Because Zhongli is like water in Zhongli Garden.

When Li Chenan came to Chongqing Mansion, he should have gone to Zhongli Garden to meet Zhongli Ruoshui first.

He was worried about what would happen to Zhongli Garden.

But there were many experts in Zhongliyuan, so he didn't dare send someone to investigate.

Liu Zuo went to Zhongli Garden, and he was waiting for Liu Zui to come back and bring back news about Zhongli Garden.

This is very important.

Involves the next arrangements.

While he was waiting anxiously, Liu Zuo walked in holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Huang Sanlie raised his eyes, Liu Zuo closed his umbrella and sat opposite Huang Sanlie:

"The situation does not seem to be what the old Marquis guessed!"

Huang Sanlie was slightly startled by Liu Zui's words, poured a cup of tea for Liu Zui and handed it over, "Brother Liu, please elaborate."

Liu Zuo told Huang Sanlie everything about Zhong Liyuan. Huang Sanlie didn't interrupt a word, he kept listening very carefully.

Liu Zuo originally thought that Huang Sanlie would feel relieved after hearing these words, but unexpectedly, the expression on Huang Sanlie's face became more serious.

His brows furrowed into a frown.

Until Liu Zhui finished speaking, Huang Sanlie was silent for a long time, and then looked at Ye Yu outside the pavilion and thought for a while.

"So, I'm afraid the old master does have some misunderstandings about the old lady."

"I just don't know what the old lady said in her last letter... However, since the people in the Zhongli Mansion do not have any hostility towards Li Chenan, then of course there will be no hatred towards Li Chenan in the old lady's letter.

Unfavorable move.”

"but……"

Huang Sanlie slowly stood up while stroking his short beard.

He walked to the edge of the pavilion, stretched out a hand, caught the raindrops dripping from the eaves of the pavilion, and said:

"Even according to what you just said, the old lady may have wavered in choosing the emperor."

"When Li Chenan first entered Kyoto, she didn't really take Li Chenan seriously. In other words, at that time, she didn't think Li Chenan had the ability to take charge of Ningguo."

"Until Li Chenan rose to prominence in Kyoto, until news of Li Chenan's suppression of bandits in Shuangjiao Mountain came...or maybe the people in Kyoto had a careful discussion with the old lady."

"For example, Changsun Jinghong."

"For example, Shang Di."

"Even people like Mr. Cheng."

"That's why the old lady changed her mind before the incident in Kyoto."

Huang Sanlie suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Zuo, "But since the old lady changed her mind, why didn't she tell the old master?"

"The old head of the family said that the main conflict between him and the old lady in the past ten years or so has actually been over the matter of the emperor's eldest son!"

"Of course nothing happened to Li Chenan at that time. He was still pretending to be stupid in Guangling City."

"The old family master very much hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne as the emperor, because His Highness the Crown Prince is generous and kind. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can become the emperor, it may be a great good thing for the officials in the court and the people of Ningguo."

"But the old lady doesn't think so."

"The old lady believes that Ningguo now needs a strong prince who dares to kill people with a knife to be the emperor."

"The old lady said that the shortcomings of Ningguo cannot be cured without the power of thunder."

"The old master said that it is precisely because Ning Guo has recovered from his serious illness that a kind and kind emperor should help the people of Ning Guo recuperate."

"The old master also said that no one knows what the eldest son of the emperor is like."

"No one knows his moral character, his knowledge, his ability to control his ministers, his ability to govern the country, etc."

"Then if he really returns to the capital and becomes the emperor... Not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince is not convinced, even the second prince Ning Zhixing and the third prince Ning Zhiyuan, how can they be convinced?"

"This will inevitably lead to more chaos in Ningguo!"

"It would be better for His Highness the Crown Prince to become the emperor. If there are Dingguo Marquis Mansion and Imperial City Secretary supporting His Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince or the third prince... they will not be able to make any waves after all."

Liu Zuo also listened carefully. From Huang Sanlie's words alone, he also believed that it would be better for His Royal Highness to be the emperor if Li Chenan was abandoned.

After all, the prince has been in the East Palace for so many years.

After all, the ministers and the prince were all very familiar with each other.

As long as the Ji Tai family is overthrown and the prince ascends the throne, at least there will be no major civil strife in Ningguo.

But when the eldest son of the emperor, whom no one knew, returned to Kyoto, there was no telling.

However, the evolution of the story went beyond the expectations of Marquis Dingguo and the old lady, and Li Chenan suddenly appeared.

It happened that after the rebellion in Kyoto, His Highness the Crown Prince died.

The Red Flame Army invaded Kyoto.

Xi Wei left Ning Guo's future in the hands of Li Chenan... Li Chenan was the future uncle of the Zhongli Mansion. It was probably for this reason that Fan Taohua finally compromised.

After all, she had already seen some of Li Chenan's abilities.

At least Li Chenan is not as weak as His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chenan also has a certain foundation in the court because of his grandfather, Mr. Chunfu.

So, she changed her mind.

But before she could tell the old Marquis about her change of mind, she died in Yunji Bieye.

Just when Liu Zuo was thinking this, Huang Sanlie spoke again:

"When Huaiping Mountain attacked Yunjibieye, the third lady and the others were all there."

"At that time, the Shenwu Army of Dingguo Hou Mansion still firmly controlled the palace. Although the Red Flame Army entered Kyoto, for some reason the Red Flame Army did not attack the palace. Instead, the Red Flame Army went out of the city and placed Huaiping Mountain on

The armies at the two acropolis have been wiped out!"

"When the Red Flame Army went out to fight in the city, the Shenwu Army also strangely did not take this opportunity to reoccupy the four gates of Kyoto..."

Huang Sanlie pondered for three breaths and then said: "Now it seems that this change in Kyoto is more like a drama!"

Liu Zuo was startled: "How do you say this?"

"Xi Wei let the world know that the Red Flame Army does not obey orders from the Duke of Yan!"

"When the Red Flame Army entered Kyoto, many people originally thought that there would be a life-and-death battle between the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army... But they never fought at all... and they never even used a sword or a shot against each other!"

Liu Zuo was suddenly shocked. The war in Kyoto had already spread to Shuzhou, but he had not sorted it out like Huang Sanlie did at the moment.

"you mean……"

Huang Sanlie nodded slightly: "It's more like the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army joining forces... Ji Tai originally thought that the Red Flame Army was in the hands of the Duke of Yan and was here to help him and the second prince!"

"So when the Red Flame Army entered the city, it was Jitai's people who opened the city gate for them!"

"But the Red Flame Army almost killed all the officials from Ji Tai's family overnight!"

"At the same time, the Red Flame Army entered the city, lured the people from Huaiping Mountain out, and wiped them out in one fell swoop!"

"The strength accumulated by Huaipingshan for more than ten years was prepared for His Royal Highness, but he couldn't hold back in the end. He thought it was a huge opportunity, but unexpectedly it was a huge trap!"

"Destroyed everyone in Jitai's line, and eliminated the power of Mount Huaiping hidden in the Acropolis of Kyoto, and used this to kill His Highness the Crown Prince...killing three birds with one stone!"

"If we support Li Chenan to ascend the throne as emperor, all obstacles in front of Li Chenan will be removed..."

"The Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army have such a tacit understanding. There must be some consensus between the old lady and Xi Wei."

"But, since the old lady knows this result, why does she still want Li Chenan to go to Shuzhou?"

Liu Zuo doesn’t know either.

Huang Sanlie looked at Ye Yu again.

His eyebrows were furrowed.

"Western Mountain!"
