Chapter 558 Confused
Li Chenan felt the warmth of spring in Zhongli Ruoshui's boudoir.

Liu Zhuo has returned to his small courtyard in the backyard of the government office.

The spring rain is still there.

The night is deep.

In the gazebo in the small courtyard, there is still a dead wind lamp.

Huang Sanlie was sitting under that lamp, looking anxiously at the rain in the night.

He already knew that Li Chenan did not come to the government office with Liu Zhuo, but went to Zhongli Garden.

This is not unexpected.

Because Zhongli Ruoshui is in Zhongli Garden.

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

He was very worried about what would happen to Zhong Liyuan.

But Zhongliyuan had many masters, so he didn't dare to send someone to investigate.

Liu Zhuo went to Zhongli Garden, and he was waiting for Liu Zhuo to come back and bring back news of Zhongli Garden.

This is very important.

It involves the next arrangements.

While he was waiting anxiously, Liu Zhuo walked in with an oiled paper umbrella.

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

"The situation doesn't seem to be what the old Hou Ye guessed!"

After Liu Zhuo said a word, Huang Sanlie was slightly taken aback, poured a cup of tea for Liu Zhuo and handed it over, "Brother Liu, please explain in detail."

Liu Zhuo told Huang Sanlie everything about Zhong Liyuan, but Huang Sanlie didn't interject a word, and he was listening carefully all the time.

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

There was a frown between his brows.

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

"In this way, the old Patriarch may indeed have some misunderstandings about the old lady."

"It's just that I don't know what the old lady said in the last letter... However, since the people in Zhongli Mansion really did not have the slightest hostility towards Li Chenan, then of course there will be no words against Li Chenan in the old lady's letter." Disadvantageous move."

"but……"

Huang Sanlie stroked his short beard and stood up slowly.

He walked to the side of the pavilion, stretched out a hand, caught the raindrops 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 the capital, she didn't really pay attention to Li Chenan, or at that time she didn't think that Li Chenan had the ability to hold the authority of Ningguo."

"Until Li Chen'an came to prominence in the capital, until the news of Li Chen'an's suppression of bandits in Shuangjiao Mountain came...or maybe someone in the capital had a careful discussion with the old lady."

"For example, Changsun Jinghong."

"Such as Shangdi."

"Even someone like Old Duke Cheng."

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

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

"The old Patriarch said that the main conflict between him and the old lady in the past ten years is actually about the matter of the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Of course nothing happened to Li Chen'an at that time, he was still playing stupid in Guangling City."

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

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

"The old lady thinks that the current Ning country needs a powerful prince who dares to kill people to be the emperor."

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

"The old Patriarch said that it is precisely because Ningguo has just recovered from a serious illness that a generous and benevolent emperor should let the people of Ningguo recuperate."

"The old Patriarch also said that no one knows what happened to the eldest son of the emperor."

"His character, his knowledge, his ability to control the officials, his ability to govern the country, etc., no one knows."

"Then if he really returns to Beijing and becomes the emperor... don't say His Royal Highness is not convinced, even if it is the second prince Ning Zhixing and the third prince Ning Zhiyuan, how can they be convinced?"

"This will inevitably lead to more chaos in Ning country!"

"It's better for His Highness the Crown Prince to become the emperor. If His Royal Highness is backed by Dingguohoufu and Huangchengsi, the Second Prince or the Third Prince...they won't be able to make any waves after all."

Liu Zhuo also listened carefully, just from Huang Sanlie's words, he also thought that it would be better for His Highness the Crown Prince to be the emperor if Li Chen'an was left behind.

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

After all, the officials and the prince are also very familiar with each other.

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

But the eldest son of the emperor, whom no one knew about, would be uncertain when he returned to the capital.

However, the evolution of the story deviated from the expectations of Marquis Ding Guo and the old lady, and Li Chen'an suddenly appeared.

After the chaos in Kyoto happened, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died.

The Red Flame Army invaded Kyoto.

Xi Wei handed over the future of Ningguo to Li Chen'an... Li Chen'an is the future son-in-law of Zhongli Mansion, and it should be for this reason that Fan Taohua finally compromised.

After all, she has 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.

It's just that she died in Yunji Bieye before she could tell Old Hou Ye about her change of mind.

Just when Liu Zhuo was thinking so, Huang Sanlie spoke again:
"When Huaiping Mountain attacked Yunji Bieye, Miss San and the others were there."

"At that time, the Shenwu Army of Dingguohou's Mansion was still firmly controlling the imperial palace. Although the Chiyan Army entered the capital, for some reason, the Chiyan Army did not attack the Imperial Palace. Instead, the Chiyan Army went out of the city to arrange Huaiping Mountain The armies of the two acropolises have been wiped out!"

"When the Red Flame Army was out of the city to fight, the Shenwu Army also strangely did not take this opportunity to reoccupy the Sifang City Gate of Kyoto..."

Huang Sanlie pondered for three breaths, and said again: "Looking at it now, this change in the capital is more like a drama!"

Liu Zhuo was startled: "How do you say that?"

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

"When the Red Flame Army entered the capital, many people 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...they didn't even touch each other!"

Liu Zhuo was shocked. The battle of the Kyoto Incident had already spread to Shuzhou, but he hadn't sorted it out like Huang Sanlie did at the moment.

"what do you mean……"

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

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

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

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

"Huaiping Mountain has forbeared the strength accumulated for more than ten years. He prepared it for His Royal Highness, but he couldn't hold it back after all. He thought it was a huge opportunity, but he didn't expect it to be a huge trap!"

"Eliminate everyone in Ji Tai's lineage, and also eliminate Huaiping Mountain's power hidden in the Acropolis of Kyoto, and use this to kill His Royal Highness... Kill three birds with one stone!"

"If you support Li Chen'an's ascension to the throne, all obstacles in front of Li Chen'an will be removed..."

"The Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army have such a tacit understanding. It must be that the old lady and Xi Wei have reached a certain consensus."

"It's just that since the old lady knows the result, why does she still want Li Chenan to go to Shuzhou?"

Liu Zhuo didn't know either.

Huang Sanlie looked at Ye Yu again.

Frowning.

"Xishan!"

"In the Xishan Bureau, is it not Li Chen'an who is going to be killed, but the eldest son of the emperor?"
