Gu Baiyi pondered for a moment, then said: "You told me before that before we captured Liaoxi, Mr. Da had already ordered the pawnshop to help us secretly."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Exactly. At that time, I was very surprised as to why Mr. Da suddenly changed his mind and asked the pawnshop to help."

Before Long Rui's army captured Guangning, Liaoxi Province, Tang Rong suddenly appeared and informed Mr. Da that he had ordered the pawnshop to secretly help Qin Xiao.

In fact, Tang Rong did provide a lot of information to Long Ruijun after that.

"Mr. Da asked the pawnshop to help Long Ruijun. Maybe the real helper is not us, but Wang Xingchao." Gu Baiyi suddenly said.

Qin Xiao was startled, thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, and said: "Mr. Da is helping Wang Xingchao make up his mind?"

"Even though Mr. Da is a member of the Li royal family and is very powerful, Wang Xingchao did not necessarily believe that Mr. Da could really help him achieve what he wanted at the beginning." Gu Baiyi said: "Wang Xingchao is a cautious person, calm and steady.

Lack of courage. Mr. Da wants to use the Liaodong Army to seize the world. For Wang Xingchao, this is of course a risky move. Once he fails, everything he has will be lost." A smile appeared on the corner of his lips and said: "Wang Xingchao

He does not have the character of a gambler. He has too much, so he is more afraid of losing than ordinary people."

Qin Xiao looked at the oil lamp and said: "So Mr. Da wants to make Wang Xingchao feel threatened by the imperial court."

"Not only Wang Xingchao, but also the generals and even sergeants under his command have lived a comfortable life for many years." Gu Baiyi sighed softly: "Once people become too comfortable, they will lose their enterprising spirit and just hope to stay in their comfort zone.

Stay comfortable. Even if Wang Xingchao is willing to help Mr. Da seize the world, are the arrogant and powerful generals under his command willing to leave their comfortable days to fight in blood? Only by making these people feel threatened can they be made to wield their swords in order to protect their wealth.

"

Qin Xiaodao: "We came out of the border under the will of the saint. The Liaodong Army thought we were sent by the imperial court to restrain them from the beginning. But they only thought that we were a mob and did not feel any threat from us, so they did not care."

"Mr. Da asked the pawnshop to help, naturally he hopes that we can make the Liaodong Army feel threatened." Gu Baiyi said: "If we capture a few cities and win a few battles, we can make the Liaodong Army feel a huge threat.

And in the eyes of the Liaodong Army, this threat not only comes from the Long Rui Army, but also from the imperial court. They know that you are a favored minister of the saint, and you still leave the country under orders, so they will naturally be dissatisfied with the imperial court."

Qin Xiaodao: "Only when the Liaodong Army feels the threat posed by us and the imperial court, Mr. Da can reach an agreement with Wang Xingchao, and Wang Xingchao can use this to persuade his generals to raise troops. This is the real purpose of Mr. Da's help.

"

"In the eyes of Mr. Da and Wang Xingchao, our Long Rui Army is just a mob." Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "Even if we can take advantage, as long as the Liaodong Army really takes action with all its strength, it will definitely defeat our Long Rui Army in one fell swoop. And Liaodong Army

The army has been without war for many years. Mr. Da wanted to use the Liaodong Army to conquer the world. Naturally, he did not want to use a group of old soldiers. He wanted us to be used as tools to let the Liaodong Army practice. But Mr. Da did not expect that not only the Liaodong Army did not want to

As strong as he is, we, Long Ruijun, are not as weak as he thinks."

Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "The development of the situation in the Northeast was completely beyond Mr. Da's imagination. Naturally, he did not expect that Wang Xingchao's group was rotten to the core and had lost consecutive battles. If they lose together, if there is no way to deal with it,

, Mr. Da’s plan to use the Liaodong Army to seize the world was in vain. That’s why he sent people to spread the disease in the grassland, hoping to use this method to make the Xile tribes be used by Wang Xingchao and reverse the defeat. However, their plan failed, and the Northeast

The situation is difficult

Even with the change, Mr. Da is powerless."

Both of them were extremely smart people, because of Wang Xingchao's two words before his death, he had already thought of the strange thing hidden behind them.

"Although Wang Xingchao was defeated, Mr. Da has not been defeated yet." Qin Xiao's smile faded and he frowned: "The fact that Wang Xingchao said those two sentences shows that before he died, he still had confidence in Mr. Da's strength.

He is very trusting. He naturally knows that Mr. Da still has strong strength in his hands." At this point, he stopped, thoughtfully, and continued after a moment: "If we only rely on the pawnshops in our hands, we can even fight for the world.

There is little chance of becoming a hegemon, so there is no need to talk about fighting for the world."

Gu Baiyi nodded and said, "Yes, so apart from the pawnshop, Mr. Da has more powerful forces in his hands."

"Where is Mr. Big now?" Qin Xiao's eyes were filled with cold light, "What is this man doing right now?"

Gu Baiyi did not answer, but was thoughtful.

The room was silent for a while, and then Qin Xiao asked: "Brother, how much do you know about the Li family's situation?"

Qin Xiao actually knows a lot about the Li royal family, but he only knows some of the main members of the royal family, and there are also many side branches of the royal family. Naturally, he cannot grasp them all.

"If even Dao Zun and Wang Xingchao feel that Mr. Da has a pure legal tradition, then Mr. Da must come from the lineage of Emperor Xuanzong." Gu Baiyi said: "The former emperor Dezong came from the lineage of Emperor Xuanzong. Emperor Xuanzong reigned for thirty years

One year later, the successor was the late Emperor Dezong. Emperor Dezong reigned for nineteen years. After his death, the current saint ascended the throne. According to the legal system of the Tang Dynasty, the person most qualified to inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty is naturally

Heirs of Emperor Dezong. However, Emperor Dezong only left two princesses and no heirs to the throne."

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes. Princess Changning has some problems, so the most legal candidate is Princess Sheyue."

"In terms of bloodline, it is true." Gu Baiyi said: "However, in the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no female emperor except the current saints. In the eyes of the world, Princess Sheyue's bloodline is indeed faultless, but she may still be

He is not really suitable to inherit a great position."

Qin Xiao said "oh".

Gu Baiyi said: "Let's not talk about She Yue. You should know that Emperor Xuanzong had four princes. In addition to the late Emperor Dezong, there were three other princes who also had legal blood. At least after the death of Emperor Dezong, people certainly wouldn't

Thinking that Queen Xiahou would inherit the throne, even many ministers in the court did not think that She Yue was suitable to succeed. At that time, the most popular candidate for succession among the courtiers was Prince Qing!"

Qin Xiao had heard a little bit about this past incident and nodded: "At this time, I also knew something about it. Emperor Xuanzong had four princes, and the second prince died after he was born, so this lineage does not exist. The rest of the lineage does not exist.

The eldest prince was the later Emperor Dezong. Besides him, there were also the third prince and the fourth prince, Prince Qing."

Gu Baiyi said: "While Xuanzong was still alive, although he appointed the late emperor as the crown prince, everyone in the civil and military circles knew that this was simply because Emperor Dezong was the eldest son, not because Emperor Xuanzong really loved Dezong. In fact, Emperor Xuanzong was the most favored

The favored prince was none other than the fourth son, Prince Qing. Prince Qing was the son of Emperor Xuanzong’s favorite imperial concubine. When he was still in his infancy, he was given the title of prince and had a household of 50,000 households. The third son of the emperor, Li Chengtainian,

Prince Changqing was four years old, but he was granted the title of king three years later than Prince Qing. Moreover, he was granted the title of Queen Jing, with a household of only 20,000 yuan. This shows Emperor Xuanzong's love for Li Chengqing."

"I heard that the third prince died young because of excessive drinking and sex?" Qin Xiaodao.

Gu Baiyi did not answer directly, but said: "Prince Qing himself

After he was born, he was favored by Emperor Xuanzong in every possible way. Not only was he granted the title of king early, but he also built a huge and luxurious palace for the infant child. When Prince Qing got older, he was carefully trained, and he was both a civilized and martial arts expert.

They sent the best masters. All this was seen by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and they all knew that except for the position of the crown prince, Emperor Xuanzong gave almost all the best to Prince Qing." At this point, he sighed: "This

This was also the biggest mistake Emperor Xuanzong made, because in this way, there would be a group of courtiers with ulterior motives who wanted to support Prince Qing and seize the throne, and the battle between the crown princes would be inevitable."

"So there was a fierce dispute between Prince Qing and the late Emperor Dezong back then?"

"Although we can't talk about life and death, there was also a period of overt and covert fighting." Gu Baiyi said: "Emperor Dezong was a calm and generous man, cautious in his words and deeds, and did everything carefully, so he did not make any big mistakes. Although Emperor Xuanzong loved him

Prince Qing is responsible for the dispute over the throne in the DPRK, but he is not a fool either. He has stated several times that Emperor Dezong's position as crown prince cannot be changed and will never change." At this point, he sighed lightly.

He said: "In this battle for the crown prince, the protagonists are the crown prince and Prince Qing. The third prince, Li Chengtai, is almost an outsider."

"No one in the DPRK supports Dai Ri Chengtai?"

"Li Chengtai's mother is neither a queen nor a concubine, nor even a concubine. She is just a concubine." Gu Baiyi said: "So his maternal lineage is naturally far inferior to that of the other two princes, and the courtiers are not.

Several people supported him. In addition, Li Chengtai's qualifications were mediocre. Whether it was literary skills or martial arts, he was ordinary and had no outstanding performance. This made it even more impossible to compete for the position of crown prince. Therefore, the other two princes were fighting openly and secretly.

, Prince Jing Li Chengtai almost stayed out of the matter. Not only did he not compete directly, he did not fall to any party, he was just indulging in wine and sex. At that time, both the government and the public said that he was an absurd prince, who was as lustful as his life. Emperor Xuanzong was also very cold towards him, as long as he was not

If he causes trouble, don't pay attention to him."

Qin Xiao said: "Prince Jing did not get involved in the fight and indulged in drinking and sex. Maybe it was just a way to avoid disaster."

"Of course it is possible." Gu Baiyi said: "Indulging in wine and sex is also a way to avoid right and wrong. But no matter what, he did die on the woman's bed in the end. It is said that his health deteriorated later, but he was still addicted to wine and sex.

It led to lack of energy. But someone around him gave him some drugs, and he continued to indulge in sexual indulgences relying on the effects of the drugs. He died before he was thirty years old."

Qin Xiao had previously learned from Ying Aunt Zhuque that the third prince died on a woman's belly due to indulgence in sexual intercourse. When Gu Baiyi said this, he sighed in his heart, thinking that although Prince Jing was addicted to wine and sex, he didn't seem to have done anything evil.

It was indeed difficult to comment, so he asked: "Does Prince Jing have any descendants?"

"Yes, he did leave behind a crown prince and two princesses." Gu Baiyi said: "But later, the Xiahou clan killed the royal family, and Prince Jing's entire lineage was also killed, and the bloodline was completely cut off."

Qin Xiao frowned and said: "The lineage of Prince Jing is cut off, so it is naturally impossible for Mr. Da to come from the lineage of Prince Jing."

"Yes." Gu Baiyi said: "There is no bloodline of Prince Jing. Especially Prince Jing's son, who was only eight or nine years old when he was killed. He is only around thirty years old now. Mr. Da founded the pawn shop

For more than ten years, if Mr. Da is the son of Prince Jing, it means that he can preside over such a big event in his teens. It is naturally impossible. The crime of Prince Jing's palace was because the husband of the princess was involved in the opposition to Xia Hou

When he proclaimed himself emperor, he was labeled as a traitor. Prince Jing was slandered as the mastermind behind the Prince Consort. As a result, everyone in Prince Jing's palace was taken to the execution ground and executed. Prince Jing, the two princesses and other family members were all in full view of the public.
