Chi Danmei smiled and said: "Duan Shao has been with King Linzi for more than ten years. Does King Linzi still have any secrets in Duan Shao's eyes? Duan Shao knows his temperament well, every word he says and everything he does Duan Shao can even guess everything beforehand. What's more, many people know that this Prince of Linzi has no other abilities, but his ability to drink is very similar to that old man, and he is a person who does not have fun without drinking. "
Qi Ning felt strange. He naturally knew that the old man Duan Hao mentioned by Chi Danmei was the King of Dong Qi. However, Chi Danmei was from Dong Qi and had no respect for the King of Dong Qi. Her words were more than just disrespectful. The etiquette is so simple, but what Chi Danmei said makes perfect sense.
Prince Duan Shao has been in contact with King Linzi for many years, and he naturally knows the character of King Linzi well.
"Shitang is from the Prince's Mansion and has been with him for many years." Chi Danmei said: "In order to cover up the truth about the murder of King Linzi, he hooked up with a henchman. His Highness, the Prince, has a very vicious heart."
Qi Ning sighed: "At that time, he wanted to offer Qi Feng wine, but fortunately Qi Feng did not accept it." Thinking of this, he felt horrified. If Qi Feng had not understood what he meant during the competition at that time, and did not save face for the people of Dong Qi, If he defeated Shitang directly, then the winner would be the one to drink, and the one who would die would be Qi Feng.
"It doesn't matter who died." Chi Danmei said: "For Duan Shao, it was just a cover-up of the truth about King Linzi's murder. Now everyone thinks that King Linzi and Shitang are scapegoats, but the real target is King Linzi. Linzi With Wang's death, one of Duan Shao's personal problems has been solved."
Qi Ning was silent for a moment and then said: "This time Duan Shao brought people to Xuzhou to hunt, just to kill King Linzi?"
"King Linzi?" Chi Danmei smiled and said, "This is just a matter of course. With Duan Shao's scheming, he can be solved anywhere, but this time the opportunity is better."
"Solve it by the way?"
With a half-smile on her face, Chi Danmei asked, "Don't you know the real purpose of his trip to Xuzhou? Everyone knows that the purpose of King Taishan being transferred to Xuzhou was to prevent King Taishan from being constrained by Duan in the capital. Shao, by transferring King Taishan away from the capital, Duan Shao can smoothly inherit the position of crown prince. King Taishan has a rough temper, but he is not a fool. He is the eldest son. In his heart, he is the one who should inherit the throne, Duan Shao. After taking away everything from him, do you think King Taishan will be jealous of Duan Shao?"
Qi Ning thought that there was no need to ask. He had personal experience. After Qi Jing passed away, Qi Yu felt that Qi Ning, as the eldest son, was a fool and should not inherit the position of marquis. However, in the end, Qi Ning still got it. However, Qi Yu was instead sent to Daguangming Temple to become a monk. The resentment in Qi Yu's heart was no different from that of King Taishan.
Thinking of this, I thought of Qi Yu being kidnapped by King Muye in Daguangming Temple. I don't know what happened afterwards. Whether Qi Yu was alive or dead, but Qi Ning didn't have any sympathy for Qi Yu. Even if he was dead, Qi Ning would not Wouldn't care.
"Are you saying that the prince's visit to Xuzhou this time to hunt is fake, but to deal with King Taishan is real?" Qining asked.
Chi Danmei said: "Don't say it's my intention, you think so too. These two people are incompatible with each other. Duan Shao knows that King Taishan hates him to the core, but he just brings people to Xuzhou. Is this a coincidence?"
Qi Ning sighed: "Lead the snake out of its hole!"
"That's right." Chi Danmei said with a smile: "When Duan Shao arrived in Xuzhou, he was waiting to see if the meat would be delivered to King Taishan's mouth. Let's see if King Taishan has the courage. And this grumpy King Taishan is exactly a bold man. people."
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Even if you are brave, you will not seek death. You also said that King Taishan is not a fool. He leads people to kill Duan Shao, which is to commit rebellion. He will not ignore the consequences." Staring at Chi Danmei. With charming eyes, he said: "So I have been wondering who gave King Taishan such courage to actually take action."
"Do you think there is someone behind King Taishan?" Chi Danmei asked.
Qi Ning nodded and said: "There is no doubt about it, but I have racked my brains and cannot figure out who could be the person who can instruct King Taishan to send troops to rebel. Duan Shao said that the Northern Han people may be involved, but I I think this possibility is very small.”
"Why?"
Qi Ning said: "If I were the King of Mount Tai, and I really had the support of the Northern Han people, then after I raised troops to kill Duan Shao, I would have to consider facing the conquest of the Eastern Qi officers and soldiers. At this time, the Northern Han people would also have to be able to send troops. To support, the Northern Han people must send troops to the Han Qi border, but if the Northern Han Dynasty really sends heavy troops to the Han Qi border, there will be a reaction from the Eastern Qi side, and Duan Shao may not come to Xuzhou...!" He sighed and said: "If King Taishan is strong enough to compete with the Eastern Qi court, then the support from the Northern Han Dynasty will naturally be a great help. But in fact, King Taishan did not expect to be that powerful, and Xuzhou is not completely under his control. There is no way to confront the Eastern Qi court. Under such circumstances, the so-called support of the Northern Han people is actually a reminder... I don't think King Taishan can't understand this truth."
Chi Danmei chuckled and said, "Looking at your young age, you are quite sophisticated in your thinking."
"Actually, what's strangest to me is that if Duan Shao really came to Xuzhou to lure snakes out of their caves and lure King Taishan to rebel, wouldn't he consider his own safety?" Qining frowned and said, "King Taishan came with thousands of soldiers and horses, Duan Shao Shao was almost captured. Since Duan Shao was so scheming, why did he make such a mistake? He was almost too clever but was mistaken for his cleverness, and he was playing with fire and burning himself!"
Chi Danmei sighed softly: "Actually, I didn't expect it to be like this at first. I even thought that Duan Shao came to Xuzhou to demonstrate to King Taishan on purpose. However, later developments made me gradually understand the inner story." She shook her head. : "I couldn't understand your question at first, but what happened later made me know the secret!"
"Oh?" Qining said with a smile: "What secret?"
Chi Danmei said: "After you captured King Taishan, how did Duan Shao deal with the rebels?"
"He did not make things difficult for them." Qi Ning said: "He announced in public that he would only punish the culprits and not the accomplices."
Chi Danmei smiled sweetly and said: "So after this battle, the only one who was really unlucky was King Taishan. Most of the generals under King Taishan were safe and sound. Not only that, Duan Shao even ordered the generals to take the rebels away. Don't you think so? Don’t you see anything wrong with this?”
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Chengwu is a general of King Taishan. According to logic, Duan Shao should not hand over the rebels to him. If Chengwu remains rebellious and makes a comeback, the situation will be extremely critical."
Chi Danmei nodded slightly: "That's the problem. Many people think that Duan Shao is being lenient and trying to win people's hearts, but in fact, this is probably a show."
"You mean...!" Qi Ning frowned, "Cheng Wu is actually Duan Shao's man?"
Chi Danmeijiao smiled and said: "It seems that you have really figured it out. Now you know why you were played in the hands of others, right? Even if you didn't capture King Taishan in the thousands of troops today, in the end, Cheng Wu Hui rebelled during the battle, but it was not Duan Shao who rebelled, but King Taishan."
Qi Ning let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "So, Chengwu has been Duan Shao's internal support for King Taishan from the beginning. Duan Shao has long been involved in Xuzhou's plan to lure the snake out of the cave. From the beginning, Taishan The king is destined to die."
"Chengwu was a talent recommended by Shentu Luo back then, and was later transferred to the Huaihe front line." Chi Danmei sighed: "After King Taishan arrived in Xuzhou, he replaced Chengwu, and Chengwu was left out in the cold for half a year. As far as I know, later Chengwu presented many rare treasures, and was re-employed by King Taishan. After that, Chengwu repeatedly expressed his loyalty to King Taishan, and assisted King Taishan to deal with Duan Shao's officials in Xuzhou, so that King Taishan regarded him as Confidant, I'm afraid that King Taishan has forgotten in the end that Chengwu was promoted by Shentu Luo, and Shentu Luo was Duan Shao's backer."
Qi Ning suddenly realized and said: "So that's it, so everything this time was planned a long time ago. Chengwu showed his favor to King Taishan and even assisted King Taishan to deal with Duan Shao's people. This was naturally intentional on Duan Shao's side. The arrangement is to let Cheng Wu win the trust of King Taishan in preparation for today."
"You should know by now that all of these people, including you, are Duan Shao's pawns." Chi Danmei seemed to be tired after doing this for a long time. She put her right hand back on the ground, her delicate body slightly backwards, and did She took a more relaxed and casual posture, but this posture made her look even more charming and enchanting, full of charming charm, "I was right when I said you were being played by him!"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Thank you Aunt Mei for your advice. If you hadn't woken up the dreamer with your words, I would still have been kept in the dark."
"Come on!" Chi Danmei rolled her eyes at Qin Ning, her face was charming, and she said angrily: "So you have already seen that there is something fishy in this."
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Actually, I only saw that the murder of King Linzi at first may have something to do with the prince. But King Taishan rebelled. I really didn't expect that the prince planned it. Otherwise, why should I meddle in others' affairs? But the prince ordered it to be done. After Wu led the rebels to withdraw, I realized that there was something wrong with this, but I was not sure about it. Now that Aunt Mei said this, I finally understand."
Chi Dan smiled charmingly and said, "Then should you thank me?"
"It's my turn to thank you." Qining said, "I thanked you just now, didn't Aunt Mei hear it?"
Chi Danmei spat: "There is no sincerity at all. Is it any use to talk verbally?" She actually leaned forward, leaned on the desk, smiled like a flower, and said softly: "I have told you such a big secret. If you want to No, you can do my aunt a favor, but as long as you do my aunt this favor, I will agree to it no matter what your conditions are."
Qi Ning couldn't help but glance at the chest, his mouth was slightly dry, his throat moved, and he said: "You... what do you want me to help you with?"
