Ye Qingmei comes from the future. Because of her too many whimsical ideas and advanced ideas, as well as the settings of the internal treasury and the inspection institute, Emperor Qing, who had just ascended the throne, felt scared, so he took advantage of Ye Qingmei. When she was giving birth to a child, she transferred Chen Pingping away, defrauded Wuzhu, and set up a trap to kill Ye Qingmei.
Perhaps it was because "tiger poison cannot eat its seeds", or perhaps Wu Zhu arrived in time and Fan Xian's life was saved, so Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping launched a series of plans against Fan Xian. Their purpose was to uncover the mystery of The secret of the temple. Although
was a joint plan of the two of them, they did not trust each other. Look at how Emperor Qing repeatedly tested Chen Pingping in the finale of the first season, and even asked Gong Dian to follow Chen Pingping. And Chen Pingping didn't believe Emperor Qing either. I believe he already knew who the murderer of Ye Qingmei was during the bloodbath in Kyoto, but he had been hiding it. The look in his eyes during the Season 1 finale said it all.
Now, let’s take a look at how Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping plotted against Fan Xian.
Wu Zhu fled with Fan Xian and was chased by killers. It was reasonable to suspect that these killers were the killers of Ye Qingmei. Chen Pingping suggested that Wu Zhu take Fan Xian to Danzhou to find the old lady. At this time, he also brought Sean's grandson back to Yan Ruhai to raise, named Bingyun.
Sean knew the secret of the temple, and Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's child, so Chen Pingping planned to make Sean mistakenly think that Fan Xian was her child. So he asked people from the forensic institute to guard Fan Xian and also monitor him, and then told Sean every detail of Fan Xian's growth, so that he could piece together an image of his grandson in his mind.
After Fan Xian grew up, in order to allow him to come to Kyoto, Emperor Qing deliberately sent Chen Pingping away, and then discussed with Fan Jian to let Fan Xian return to Kyoto to marry Wan'er and take over the inner treasury. After the news was released, the eldest princess couldn't sit still. She wanted to kill Fan Xian, so the inspection agency followed suit and Teng Zijing became the executor of Fan Xian's death.
Emperor Qing used Teng Zijing's family to make him a follower of Fan Xian. At this time, Chen Pingping also sent his direct descendant Wang Qinian to Fan Xian.
Because Teng Zijing was Yan Bingyun's subordinate, Yan Bingyun was punished, and the Inspection and Inspection Commission sent him to Northern Qi to reorganize the intelligence network. This was something Chen Pingping had planned from the beginning. Because he knew that as long as Sean lived, Beiqi would one day let him go back and the best candidate to exchange for hostages was Yan Bingyun.
The war with Northern Qi was actually planned by Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing. They just want to find a reason for peace talks between the two countries. It is reasonable to suspect that Chen Pingping also tacitly approved the eldest princess's leak of Yan Bingyun's identity. It’s for peace talks.
At this time, I understood why the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty only fought for a short time. No matter how much other people in the court insisted, Emperor Qing would not continue the fight. Because fighting is not the purpose, but letting Sean return to China is.
Fan Xian went to Northern Qi as an envoy, which was also the plan of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping. Because they just want Sean to have contact with Fan Xian. With Sean's intelligence, he should be able to deduce that Fan Xian is his grandson from the information given by Chen Pingping. One more thing to add here is that when the Inspection and Inspection Institute assassinated Chen Pingping, Chen Pingping probably hid in the dungeon on purpose, allowing Fan Xian to have their first contact with Sean.
Chen Pingping deliberately withdrew the Black Cavalry in order to make Xiao En believe that Fan Xian was his grandson. Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping also hope that Sean can tell Fan Xian the secret of the temple.
From the moment Fan Xian entered Kyoto, every step he took was actually planned by Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping. But one thing they missed was that Fan Xian was smarter than they thought. At present, Fan Xian wants to break the situation. I wonder if Fan Xian can control his own destiny in the second season.
