Old Yulou.
The building remains the same.
Changsun Jinghong and Wang Zhengjinzhong are at the moment under the towering banyan leaf in the courtyard of the old Yuzhu Building.
He looked up at the big-leaf banyan tree, and suddenly said, "I remember that this tree was planted in the same year as the crooked-neck tree in our Huangcheng Division."
"Tell me, why does the tree in the old Yulou grow so well, but the tree in Huangchengsi grows crooked?"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong was taken aback, and the beard on his face trembled twice. He scratched his head and smiled, "I remember that there is also such a one in Dingguohou's Mansion, and it looks very good. As for the one in our Imperial City Division, why is it so beautiful?" It's crooked... It's better for this subordinate to find Scholar Chang!"
Changsun Jinghong stared at his old eyes, and walked two steps with his hands behind his back, "You old boy, are you giving me sloppy eyes now?" , he will naturally jump out."
"Sir, what do you mean... if Li Chenan survived the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Tai would send him to assassinate Li Chenan?"
Changsun Jinghong pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "Why use Chang Scholar to kill Li Chenan."
"...Then why did you say that Li Chenan would jump out before he died?"
"Li Chen'an is not dead, there may be some changes in the capital!"
"Such an accident will make the situation chaotic. They have waited for so many years, and I'm afraid they can't wait any longer, but killing a Li Chen'an is not related to the overall situation!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong was stunned, "Then who is killed is related to the overall situation?"
"Of course it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong was dumbfounded, but he also understood that if His Royal Highness was really assassinated, although there was still a third prince Ning Zhiyuan, according to the information obtained by the Imperial City Secretary, Ji Tai and the Duke of Yan's mansion were originally allies, so the relationship between the prince The position fell into the hands of the second prince Ning Zhixing, and the benefits should have been allocated already.
As long as His Royal Highness the Second Prince ascends the throne as the emperor, with the status of the emperor, he will definitely attack his former opponents. As a result... the Dingguohou's Mansion obviously won't be captured without a fight, and the situation is bound to be chaotic!
Just as Wang Zheng Jinzhong was speculating, Changsun Jinghong said again
"So, after you go back, you must always be by His Royal Highness' side. As long as His Royal Highness is alive, at least the current situation will not get worse."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Hmm... do you know why the forces of all parties have not taken action against Li Chen'an?"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong shook his head.
Changsun Jinghong stood still, looked up at the gray sky, stroked his long beard and said, "Because everyone is watching at this moment."
"The first thing to wait and see is whether Li Chen'an can win against those disciples of Yue Kingdom Wei Xuanmo at the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"If he wins, if he gets the emperor's appreciation again, then those forces will think that Li Chen'an's existence is a potential threat."
"If he loses... It is estimated that Ji Tai or Ji Guifei have already spoken to the emperor. As long as he loses, the emperor will probably order to chop off his boy's head."
"This is the best ending for Ji Tai's family, because the emperor's sword was borrowed, so...even if Dingguo Houfu is dissatisfied, it is difficult to vent this dissatisfaction on Ji Tai and others."
"Secondly, the old lady from Dingguohou's Mansion has not seen Li Chenan so far. In some people's eyes, this may be because Old Lady Fan's attitude towards Li Chenan is still unclear and still hesitating."
"Then go to assassinate Li Chen'an at this time. If a bad person is not killed, it will arouse the protection of Li Chen'an from the Dingguo Houfu, and it will also lead to Mrs. Fan's meeting with Li Chen'an."
"Just like the assassination in Huaxi Bieyuan last time, Dingguohou's Mansion sent An Zizai to Huaxi Bieyuan and became a concierge there."
"If it happens again, Li Chen'an is still alive...I'm afraid that the Dingguohou Mansion will put two of those old guys from Yinyue Pavilion to Li Chenan's side."
It was only then that Wang Zheng Jinzhong realized that Li Chenan was involved in many people and matters.
He is not very good at this kind of conspiracy, but he just vaguely feels that Li Chenan seems to have become a pawn in the struggle of various forces.
Especially Changsun Jinghong even mentioned Yinyue Pavilion... Yinyue Pavilion was built by Fan Taohua twenty years ago... that is, after Lu Zhanxiao's whole family was wiped out.
How many masters there are in Yinyue Pavilion, even Huangcheng Secretary doesn't know, but Huangcheng Secretary knows one of them, he is the lunatic who used to be in the Shenwu Army - Sikong Bao!
In the past, Yinyue Pavilion became the object of close attention by the nobles in Kyoto, even surpassing the disappearance of the eldest son of Empress Lu.
Because the Dingguohou Mansion established the Yinyue Pavilion to hide the purpose of countless masters, in the eyes of many high-ranking lords who knew about it, it was to prevent the story of Shangchehoufu from happening again.
It's just that the crown prince hadn't been established at that time, Ji Tai hadn't controlled the government, and the current situation of incompatibility didn't exist.
But the existence of Yinyue Pavilion has posed a huge threat to the rest of the clan!
Who knows how Fan Taohua will use these knives?
Who knows whose head these knives might hit one day?
This kind of threat is right in front of you, and the eldest son of the emperor is missing... If he is missing, he will be missing. After all, there is no one in Shangchehou's mansion. After all, the emperor was still young and still alive at that time.
So at that time, someone wrote a letter to the emperor to impeach Ding Guohou, thinking that Ding Guohou had wolf ambitions, and feared that another Shangchehou's mansion would be raised!
The emperor at that time was not stupid!
Also extremely diligent!
However, after the handed over to the emperor, this book jointly signed by several people was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without any response from the emperor.
As a result, in the eyes of many people, Dingguohou's Mansion is even more profound, and even because of this, it has become an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the five major kingdoms' mansions.
"Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Even if those people in the Yinyue Pavilion are still alive, it is already a year of wind and candle. The subordinates think that even if they come out, they will not be able to make a few waves."
Changsun Jinghong didn't express his opinion on this sentence, because he didn't know how many monsters were hidden in Yinyue Pavilion.
Twenty years have passed, Yinyue Pavilion has faded out of people's sight.
If there are the same people in it, they are indeed old.
But since Fan Taohua established the Yinyue Pavilion, she certainly wouldn't do it on impulse.
Of course, the Imperial City Secretary no longer pays attention to Yinyue Pavilion, because the Imperial City Secretary has too many things to pay attention to.
For example... the emperor's secret decree that has not been revoked until now - to find the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son!
For example... It is also the secret decree from the emperor - the incident of the Plum Garden in the third year of Zhaohua, the mysterious disappearance of Lu Zhanxiao's daughter, Lu Xiaoyu, the owner of Yun'an County, and Qiao Zitong, the county magistrate!
Of course, there are some things that he arranges himself, such as who is behind the water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake, and so on.
There are too many broken things, and the manpower of the Imperial City Division is not enough, so we can only focus on the big and let go of the small. Like Yinyue Pavilion, which has long disappeared from people's vision, at least it has not caused any harm yet. Its investigation data has been released. It is classified as a secret file and stored in the eight-story black building, so it is not the object that needs to be paid close attention to now.
Besides...the emperor didn't make any movement after reading the joint booklet, which means that the emperor knew about Yinyue Tower, and even knew the secret of Yinyue Tower's existence.
The emperor doesn't even care, what a fart he cares!
"Do you know why the old man wants your son to go to Li Chen'an's side?"
"...Sir, are you afraid that Li Chen'an will die?"
"That's the main reason, and there's another reason."
"What is it?"
Changsun Jinghong took a deep breath, "I am old, and you are not young anymore."
"I'll take a look at Li Chenan later, maybe... maybe your son will have a better future with him!"
Wang Zheng Jinzhong was taken aback, he had just returned to the capital, and he didn't know Li Chenan well, but now he only knows that his poems and essays are excellent, and he is very likely to become the son-in-law of Dingguohoufu.
He never expected that Mr. Changsun would attach so much importance to this young man. In his mind, this might be the reason why there was a Dingguohou Mansion standing behind Li Chenan.
He bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Sir, Miss Zhongli's illness...the news that the Imperial City Secretary got it back then was not cured!"
"Mrs. Fan went to the palace to ask the emperor for the two medicines, but the emperor didn't approve. This, this subordinate is stupid, so I feel that the Dingguohou's mansion may, I am afraid, have lost the emperor's favor!"
Changsun Jinghong smiled slightly, "Do you really think Mrs. Fan is here to ask for medicine?"
"...Could there be another way to say it?"
"Madam Fan is just looking at the emperor's attitude!"
"... But since the emperor didn't take any medicine, would Mrs. Fan just watch the third lady die like this?"
"Hey," Changsun Jinghong shook his head
"This is the way women don't give way to men!"
"Of course she won't just sit and watch Zhong Liruo's fragrance disappear!"
"...what do you mean sir?"
"Don't make random guesses, this is not something we need to care about, the old man only knows that Miss San will not die this time at least!"
"Fan Taohua, she is not only a great master, her wisdom...Shang Di was so amazing back then, isn't she also impressed by her wisdom?"
"The layout of Shuzhou... Now I went to another Liu Zhuo, the Jiangnan Navy, and now it is in the hands of Dingguo Houfu."
"In a quiet manner, the waterway from Guangling to Shuzhou was firmly controlled by the Dingguohou Mansion."
"If something like Shangchehou's Mansion really happens again, Dingguohou's Mansion will not repeat the same mistakes... You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!"
"In addition, even after...years later, Zhongli Ruoshui's illness still cannot be cured, and now Li Chenan's reputation among literati is no different for a while, give him another year, with the support of Dingguo Houfu, what do you think of Li Chenan's future? What's the future?"
"Fan Taohua has now clearly seen the great role of Li Chenan, and I'm afraid he will value it even more in the future!"
"Even if Zhongli Ruoshui really died...there are so many women who have not left the cabinet in the Dingguohou's mansion...and Li Chen'an is a smart man, he also needs the support of Dingguohou's mansion, so now you understand that the old man asked me Is there a reason why your son went to him?"
