After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 546 Two birds with one stone

Li Chenxi, the eldest son of Li Wenhou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, seeks to see him!
Liu Zhuo and Huang Sanlie looked at each other, and there was some surprise in each other's eyes.

Liu Zhuo raised his head and looked at the night sky. It was already late at night, this Mr. Li came at this time... He probably just arrived in Chongqing Mansion too!

What else can it be so urgent for?
It must have something to do with Li Chenan.

Liu Zhuo and Li Wenhou knew each other, but the friendship between them was not very deep. After all, Li Wenhou was an official in the capital, and he also held the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He, Liu Zhuo, was just a magistrate of Guangling City before.

But no matter what, this son of the Shangshu Mansion must be seen.

"Do you want to avoid it?"

Huang Sanlie nodded after pondering for a moment, got up, and went to a nearby study.

Cai Yutang brought Li Chenxi to this gazebo in the backyard. Li Chenxi bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle!"

Liu Zhuo got up, and gave a little support with a smile on his face:
"Hi nephew... Please sit down, nephew!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Li Chenxi sat down and didn't say any more polite words. He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liu Zhuo:
"My father asked my nephew to send a letter to my uncle."

Liu Zhuo took it, and didn't open it immediately, but asked: "I haven't met Mr. Li for many years. Is Mr. Li okay in the capital?"

"Going back to uncle, my father is still busy, even busier than before, so he goes home very late every day..."

He reached out to take the tea cup that Liu Zhuo handed over, and said: "My father has never had any complaints about state affairs, even if he mentioned it occasionally, he occasionally complained about certain national policies of his cousin...that is, the regent. "

"However, my nephew can also see that my father is still a little worried."

"I thought that the national policies of the Prince Regent were too radical, which made my father worried about the consequences, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Liu Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Li Chenxi, "Then what do you think?"

"My father seems to be very worried about the safety of my cousin's trip to Shuzhou!"

"I can't even sleep at night for this!"

Liu Zhuo's heart sank, it really was.

He didn't say a word, and heard Li Chenxi say again: "Actually, after my cousin entered the capital last year, he came to Li's residence once."

"At that time, he was not the regent, and he didn't enjoy talking with my father."

"My father said something, he said...you shouldn't come to Shuzhou!"

"Afterwards, my father even planned with my uncle to kidnap my cousin and send him away, but failed. My cousin stayed in the capital and became the regent."

"I thought my father would feel at ease in this way, but unexpectedly, my father was even more worried... My father asked my nephew to come to see my uncle without stopping. I think this is probably related to the fact that my cousin is about to arrive in Shuzhou."

Liu Zhuo did not expect that Li Wenhou did not want Li Chenan to go to the capital from the beginning to the end.

Why is this?

Li Wenhou obviously knew something.

But at that time, although Li Chenan was famous, he was only famous, and he did not pose a threat to anyone.

Where is Li Wenhou's concern at this time?

Liu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, could it be Li Chen'an's background?
Could it be that Li Chen'an is really not the son of Li Wenhan in Guangling City?

Otherwise, where did Li Wenhou's worries come from?
Later, Li Chen'an became the regent of Ningguo. In fact, he already possessed the greatest power in Ningguo, and no one in Ningguo could threaten him!
At this time, Li Wenhou should be relieved.

But obviously Li Wenhou was more worried, otherwise, he would not have let his son come to Shuzhou all the way.

Liu Zhuo now began to believe that Huang Sanlie's words made sense.

Because the one that can threaten Li Chenan's life is probably the Zhongli Mansion in Shuzhou.

Now Liu Zhuo has four unsolvable mysteries in his mind:
Whose son is Li Chenan?

Why did Mrs. Fan kill Li Chenan?
If Mrs. Fan wanted to kill Li Chen'an, why didn't she kill Li Chen'an before becoming the regent and stay until now?

Now that Mrs. Fan is dead, where is she going to kill Li Chenan again?

"I see, how about you stay with me tonight?"

"Thank you, uncle, my nephew is ordered by my father to visit someone."

"who?"

"Mei Fangximei from Wenweng Xuegong is a Confucian!"

Liu Zhuo nodded slightly, this old Mei Confucian and Mr. Chunfu are old friends, and now he is not the principal in Wenweng Xuegong, but a teacher.

But this old man has a very high prestige in the whole Shuzhou, after all, Wenweng Academy is the highest school in Shuzhou.

In addition, Mr. Mei is very knowledgeable and known as a great Confucian. In the past few decades, at least Shuzhou has been full of peaches and plums.

Li Wenhou asked his son to visit Mei Fangxi again. Obviously, Li Chenan's entry into Shuzhou was beyond what Liu Zhuo had thought before.

Li Chenxi got up to say goodbye, Liu Zhuo got up and watched him off, and Cai Yutang led him out.

Liu Zhuo's eyes were also full of worry at the moment, he looked up at the bright night sky, did not sit down, and did not open the letter for the time being.

He put the letter in his arms, turned and walked to the study next to him.

Huang Sanlie is making tea.

At this moment, he raised his eyes and asked, "You also came here for Li Chen'an's safety?"

Liu Zhuo nodded and sat opposite Huang Sanlie, repeated what Li Chenxi said to Huang Sanlie, and then asked:

"What's the second point of unreasonableness that Old Hou Ye thinks?"

Huang Sanlie poured tea and said, "The second point is the changes in the capital!"

"At the time of the capital change, the old Patriarch was not in Shuzhou, but was on his way to Huaishan County with [-] Shu soldiers on board the ships of the Guangling Navy."

"Leaving aside the weirdness of the changes in the capital... It was winter at that time, and the third lady had just recovered from a serious illness. She was not suitable for a long journey, let alone coming to this cold and gloomy Shuzhou!"

"The best way is to let the third lady go to Guangling City, or send her to Jiangnan."

"But the old lady didn't do that. Instead, she asked Sikong Bao and others to escort the third lady and the rest of the ladies from Zhongli Mansion to Shuzhou!"

Huang Sanlie raised his eyes to look at Liu Zhuo, "The relationship between Li Chenan and the third lady is stronger than gold, and the third lady went to Shuzhou. According to Li Chenan's character, he must come to Shuzhou!"

"Although he came to Shuzhou to welcome the eldest son of the emperor, in Master's opinion, the key to Li Chenan's coming to Shuzhou is that the third lady is in Shuzhou!"

He leaned over, with a more serious expression: "The master thinks that the third lady is the most important bait, and it is Li Chen'an who is going to catch this fish!"

"Li Chenan, this fish is here!"

"But what method will be used to kill Li Chen'an... Master doesn't know yet, just like what you said, all the people from Zhongli's house in Zhongli Mansion and Zhongli Garden in Chongqing Mansion don't know at this time!"

"But the master believes that the place where Li Chen'an was killed will not change!"

Liu Zhuo was startled, "Where will it be?"

"On the west mountain in Yinping County, in front of Jishan Temple!"

"...Why did you choose this place?"

"Because this place is where Li Chenan wants to meet the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Why didn't the old lady kill Li Chen'an before her death?"

"Master thinks that Xi Wei will definitely appear when Li Chenan arrives at Xishan!"

Liu Zhuo was stunned for a moment: "Two birds with one stone?"

"Yes, it's for this double-edged sword! Li Chen'an and Xi Wei are both dead, so the eldest son of the emperor can ascend the throne safely!"

"...Who is the eldest son of the emperor?"

Huang Sanlie shook his head: "I'm afraid no one will know except the old lady and He Xishan!"

Liu Zhuo was shocked again, and asked in a low voice: "So, on the winter night of the third year of Zhaohua, the old lady was involved in the disappearance of the eldest son of the emperor?"

Huang Sanlie pondered for three breaths, "Exactly!"

"What can I do for the Prince Regent?"

Huang Sanlie raised his glass and took a sip of tea, "I also have some old people in Shuzhou. After the regent arrives in Chongqing Mansion...you just invite him to come here for a cup of tea."

"……it is good!"
