After Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao came back from Xiao Mansion, Tang Yaoyao was called away by the rich man Tang, Tang Ning sat alone in the courtyard for a while, stood up after a while, and walked towards the most hidden courtyard of the Tang family.

Tang Yu sat in the courtyard, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and was making a female red, but it was not embroidery, a small dress embroidered with flowers on the sleeves and neckline was already quite rudimentary.

After sitting for a long time, her shoulders were a little sore, and she stretched out a hand to hammer it, and when she was about to continue, there was an extra hand on her shoulder, which gently helped her to hold it.

She looked back and smiled, "Man'er came to look for you just now, and she just left, so go find her." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Don't worry. ”

Tang Yu picked up the needle and thread again and said, "While the female celebrity has not forgotten, I want to make a few small clothes for the children to wear in the future." ”

Tang Ning rubbed her shoulders and asked, "Why don't I let Xiu'er help you, she is clever and can do this quickly." ”

"No need." Tang Yu smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, so it's good to find something to pass the time." ”

Tang Ning was no longer reluctant, paused, and asked, "Mother, twenty years ago, you and your father had run so far to Lingzhou, how did you finally find them?" ”

Lingzhou already belongs to the north of the Chen State, whether it is to flee to the Western Regions or the Chu State, it is very convenient, since the two of them can run from Jingshi to Lingzhou, they will be safe and sound all the way, there is no reason to be found in this kind of place.

Tang Yu's hand moved, shook her head, and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Tang Ning asked: "In addition to the Tang family, there was also the imperial court that searched for you back then, right?" ”

Tang Yu was silent for a moment before nodding and said: "At that time, the Tang family was in power, and various state capitals were plastered with our portraits, and a lot of things happened in it, and we were lucky to be able to escape to Lingzhou." ”

Hearing this, there was no need for Tang Ning to continue asking.

The laws of the state of Chen were relatively strict, and this kind of order wanted by the whole country would not have been possible for the local yamen to carry out without Emperor Chen's nod.

Thinking about it carefully, this is normal, how powerful the Tang family was back then, it is impossible for Emperor Chen to brush off the Tang family's intentions for the sake of Miss Tang and a Jiangnan scholar.

Tang Yu looked at him and said, "Promise mother, don't resent Your Majesty in this matter, and don't do anything irrational......

Tang Ning knew that she was worried about what she would do impulsively, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Tang family has already received the punishment they deserve, and this matter is over, I won't do it again." ”

"It's best if you think like that." Tang Yu looked at him and said, "You don't know Your Majesty, over the years, he has sat in that supreme position, and without an enemy, he has gathered many ......, and he is actually far more terrifying than you imagined." ”

Tang Ning heard similar comments about Emperor Chen twice today, they both experienced that era, and they must know many things that Tang Ning didn't know.

Tang Ning was suddenly full of curiosity about the previous era of Chen Guo, Emperor Chen's status back then was the same as that of King Run, but he was far from having a strong background of King Run, from the words of Old Man Xiao, Tang Ning guessed that Emperor Chen's royal brothers were not as wasteful as King Duan and King Kang.

In this case, Emperor Chen's ability to rise against the trend and ascend to the throne is definitely not as simple as Tang Ning saw from the history books.

The history books that Tang Ning was able to find were very simple in their descriptions of Emperor Chen's ascension to the throne.

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Emperor Xuan, Prince Rui fell into the water and drowned, King Qi of Su was seriously ill, the emperor collapsed, and it was rumored to be in the reign of King Qin.

Emperor Chen's name was Zhao Zheng, and King Qin was his title before he ascended the throne, and at that time, he was the fourth in the royal family, along with the crown prince and two imperial brothers.

In the year of the first emperor's death, the crown prince accidentally fell into the water and died, and the second prince Su Wang contracted a serious illness and died, as for the third prince, as early as a year ago, because of political problems, he was demoted to a commoner and exiled without a trace, and the throne naturally fell on the head of Emperor Chen.

The words in the history books have no temperature, no personal experience, and I don't know what kind of weight every word and sentence on it has.

Tang Ning looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Mother, how did Your Majesty become the emperor back then?" ”

Tang Yu was born in the Tang family, before she eloped, Emperor Chen had ascended the throne, during that time, the Tang family was always at the center of the whirlpool of Jingshi, and she naturally knew much more than others.

She put down the needle and thread in her hand, recalled for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "At the beginning, among the princes of the first emperor, His Majesty was just an extremely ordinary one, and the queen mother was not one of the first emperor's favorite concubines, although the first emperor set up the prince in his early years, but the second prince and the third prince did not give up, the three of them, almost divided the court, for the throne, fought for the head of the blood, the court was smoky, until later ......"

Tang Ning asked, "Until the Tang family intervenes and stands on His Majesty's side?" ”

Tang Yu looked at him, nodded, and said, "The Tang family has helped Your Majesty a lot, without the Tang family, there would be no current Your Majesty." ”

A trace of doubt appeared on Tang Ning's face, and he asked, "Since the strength of the three princes was so strong at that time, why did the Tang family choose to help His Majesty, who was powerless and powerless?" ”

"It is precisely because His Majesty has no power and no one around him that the Tang family chose him." Tang Yu shook her head and said, "Only in this way, after Your Majesty ascends the throne, no one will compete with them for that huge benefit." ”

Tang Ning said: "At that time, they didn't know Your Majesty, and they didn't know that after he ascended the throne, they would suppress the Tang family, right?" ”

"You're still young, and you don't understand some things yet." Tang Yu looked at him, shook his head again, and said: "Many things are not black and white, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, she was indeed constantly suppressing the Tang family, but the fourth sister was favored in the palace and soon gave birth to King Duan, over the years, His Majesty's favorite prince is King Duan, who can say that the Tang family lost the bet?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a while, and then asked: "When the crown prince drowned, King Su contracted a disease, and the third prince was exiled, it was also the Tang family and His Majesty who did it?" ”

"I don't know about that." Tang Yu sighed lightly and said: "But His Majesty's strength was the weakest back then, even if the Tang family is added, he can't compete with any of the other three princes, but in the end, he can sit on the throne, there must be some things that can't be known......"

Tang Yu looked up at him and said, "These things have long passed, for so many years, none of the people who want to bring up the old things again have a good end, you must not risk your life......"

Tang Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know how to measure." ”

When Tang Ning walked out of the courtyard, there were still some thoughts lingering in his mind.

When the Tang family and Emperor Chen were in the past, several unsolved cases of the royal family, and all kinds of information revealed in these things made people's hearts palpitate.

However, Tang Ning was not very interested in Emperor Chen's black history, but the impression of him in his heart deepened again.

He stepped out of the courtyard and saw Zhao Man standing outside the courtyard, looking at him with teary eyes.

Tang Ning was shocked, walked up to her, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Man wiped his eyes, looked up at him, and sobbed, "I'm sorry......"

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she should have heard the conversation in the courtyard just now.

He smiled, took her in his arms, stroked her hair, and said, "It's none of your business. ”

Zhao Man looked up at Tang Ning and asked, "Is Father really that terrible?" ”

Tang Ning didn't know how terrifying Emperor Chen was, but there was no doubt that he was much more terrifying than all of them had imagined.

A marginalized prince can defeat one fierce opponent after another and ascend to the throne, if he is as simple as Zhao Yuan, he would have been swallowed up long ago and there would be no scum left.

Zhao Man snorted and asked, "If, if my father and emperor let me break up my father, will you still like me?" ”

"Of course." Tang Ning wrapped his hands around her waist and smiled, "You will always be my princess." ”
