"The princess died nine times, but she was rescued.

"But when the heart is dead, what's the use of keeping a shell?

"At a time when the conflict between Xiyou and Dongyuan was intensifying, the Dongyuan Dynasty was unstable because of the 'Yuanmen Incident', and the internal worries were still difficult to settle, so how could they have the energy to take care of external troubles.

Emperor Gaotian looked at Princess Mingzhu, whose heart was like ashes, thinking that he was out of sight and out of mind, so he simply married her away to ensure that Dongyuan's most vulnerable years would not be invaded by the army.

And the princess Zhu Huishu, who was close to the age of peach and plum at that time, witnessed the tragic death of her husband, and after her brother's family was given to death one after another, she was transferred to the second emperor of the founding of Xiyou, the crown prince Yan Ziyou at that time.

"Until step by step to today, that is, the Empress Dowager you see."

Zuo Qiyang almost said a word about how the Empress Dowager spent her days after she finally came to Xiyou, knowing that he was taking into account that he was now in Xiyou, and talking about these in detail would inevitably be suspected of playing right and wrong, so he didn't dig deeper.

But the questions hidden in my heart are like bubbles in boiling water, plopping and popping out one after another.

"The second emperor of the founding of the Western Kingdom? The crown prince at that time, Yan Ziyou? He was already the prince of a country at that time, how could he be willing to accept a widow like Princess Mingzhu, who was like ashes, turned against her father, and was ostracized by her clansmen? ”

When the words came out, Ah Zi realized that she was talking about the Empress Dowager and her old man, but the words available were too lowly, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth. glanced around, and saw that there were only himself and Zuo Qiyang in the room, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Qiyang saw Ah Zi's every move in his eyes, just smiled faintly, and replied: "At that time, Yan Ziyou set up the crown princess early, but the princess was weak and sick since she was a child, and did not leave him a son and a half daughter, Princess Mingzhu died of illness not long after she got married, and a year later Zhu Huiwan gave birth to Lin'er, that is, the first emperor Yan Ciyong. Yan Ziyou took advantage of the situation to help her become the crown princess.

"As for the question you said. Maybe Yan Ziyou has his own considerations. No matter how Zhu Huiwen fought with her father at that time, she was Princess Mingzhu after all, the eldest daughter of Emperor Dongyuan Hui, and her identity was there. Even if it doesn't work. It's been a long time. The former grievances have faded, and maybe it can still be a bargaining chip to compete with Dongyuan. ”

But after all, these are just reasons analyzed from the eyes of a big man like Zuo Qiyang, starting from Princess Mingzhu herself. Ah Zi didn't think so.

Grief is more than death, a woman, the last bit of love in her heart has also been wiped out, even living for her is still a pain, how can she give birth to children for the then prince in just one year?

"At that time, the crown prince should have loved this princess who married far away...... Ah Zi couldn't help but sigh, "Otherwise, how could the empress dowager easily let go of the hatred for the Emperor Gaotian in her heart now?" ”

Zuo Qiyang looked Ah Zi up and down, was silent for a while, and said: "We can't verify how deep the prince's love for Princess Mingzhu was back then, but it is an irrefutable fact that he gave her a second life.

"The former princess Mingzhu has already died in front of the Zhengda Guangming Hall in the Dongyuan Palace; Now alive, only the Empress Dowager of Xiyou remains. ”

Hearing these words, Ah Zi couldn't help but look at Zuo Qiyang, thinking that he had also lost his wife, and he had been forced to leave his hometown and come to this foreign country to crawl around, wanting to break into the next world, how many people can know the pain in his heart.

How similar is this life experience to Princess Mingzhu back then......

It's no wonder that he can get the favor of the current Empress Dowager.

Seeing that Ah Zi didn't say a word, Zuo Qiyang first stared at him meaningfully for a while, and then sighed, lowered his eyelids, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked her, "What's wrong?" What else can't figure it out? ”

Ah Zi pondered for a while, looked at Zuo Qiyang as if he had made up his mind, and asked, "Why did you leave the Dongyuan Imperial Court, switch to the West, and be willing to bear the charge of treason for the rest of your life?" ”

Zuo Qiyang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Regarding the current situation in Dongyuan, I have already analyzed it very clearly with you on the way to Xijing, such a bottomless place, a fool wants to be trapped in it all the time." As for the charge of treason, it was just imposed on me by the ignorant common people of Dongyuan, so why should I be like them? ”

Ah Zi shook his head when he heard this, and frowned: "Although these reasons are reasonable, even if it is true as you said, the Dongyuan Imperial Court is now decaying and tending to perish, it is not an overnight thing, why did you choose to leave suddenly five years ago?" ”

Zuo Qiyang pursed his lips and sat there, not wanting to answer Ah Zi.

For a while, there was silence in the room, and the pin drop could be heard.

Ah Brown said, "In the end, Ah Zi opened his mouth, "You made a sudden decision when you were re-investigating the 'Yuanmen Incident'?" Is there really another truth behind the 'Yuanmen Incident'? It was because of this truth that you were completely disappointed in the Dongyuan Imperial Court? ”

Zuo Qiyang's face turned cold, and for a moment, Ah Zi almost felt that he was going to throw off his sleeves and leave, but in the end he just sighed again.

"Re-examining the 'Yuanmen Incident' is just that I was too naïve at that time, and when I saw that the existing information of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was full of loopholes, I thought that I could thoroughly investigate the truth and clear the wronged people."

Speaking of this, he sneered twice, "I understand such a simple truth, don't King Qi and his minions understand?" Couldn't the Emperor of Heaven see it really?

"Thinking about it now, I was really stupid at that time, this is obviously a huge scam laid by the entire imperial court, if you want to overturn the case, that is, to argue with the royal family of Dongyuan, such a stupid thing, how can anyone do it?"

"What is the vulnerability? Why can't I check it? Ah Zi blurted out.

"Actually, putting aside the inside stories that I know for the time being, just looking at the news that you ordinary people have gotten, it is also full of doubts.

"Think about it, at that time, it was the crime of 'harboring witches' that caused the emperor to be angry and gave Zhu Huiyuan's family to death, but that was Dongyuan 583, Zhu Huishu established the Drug Administration Department a year later, and the promulgation of the 'demon hunting order' was two years later, that is to say, although it was already rumored among the people at that time that witches used illusions to harm innocent human beings, but it only stayed on verbal fears, and there was no written rule clearly saying that it was not allowed to hide witches in the house, so how did Zhu Huishu conclude that he would win? Just because Zhu Huiyuan raised a few witches at home, he gave the crown prince and his family all to death? Isn't that too severe? (To be continued.) )
