Chapter 177: A Shocking Secret
Dongfang Ran yawned, he was really tired from this day and night. Look at the others around you and it's not much better.
After a few bites of food that was hard to swallow, I planned to go back to rest.
During the banquet, An Zhenyuan suddenly looked up at An Yang: "Yang'er, the Yiwang you are talking about is indeed your own uncle?" Not the emperor's son? ”
An Yang lowered his head and broke the dead steamed buns: "Yes, it's true." What General Tan Zhang and Old General Tan said personally should not be wrong. ”
An Zhenyuan paused in his hand, but didn't say anything more.
Everyone finally finished such a difficult dinner, and then took their leave and went to rest.
An Zhenyuan sent away a few juniors but did not rest immediately. He got up and blew out the oil lamp, changed into his night clothes and quietly left the camp.
It wasn't until the willows on the moon that he rushed back in the stars and the moon. As soon as I dismounted, I felt a surge of air behind me. This movement is really small, but it seems that the other party deliberately let him know.
He quickly turned around defensively, and the one who appeared behind him was not alone. Dongfang Ran and Anton Wook stood there waiting for him to turn back.
"You don't even go to sleep with a stinky boy, you want to scare the old man to death?" When he was found secretly traveling, An Zhenyuan was slightly angry.
"Dad, I see him following you. So it also followed. An Dongxu looked at his father aggrievedly.
"Oriental hero?" An Zhenyuan obviously didn't expect that he would be so careful and be followed.
Dongfang Ran smiled awkwardly: "The juniors saw you go out of the camp alone, aren't they afraid that you will encounter danger!" I've just helped you out with a couple of stalks. ”
An Dongxu stood on Dongfang Ran's side this time and kept nodding.
An Zhenyuan looked at the two juniors and stopped talking, so he simply turned back: "Since you have seen it, let's follow up." He let go of the reins in his hand, and the white dragon horse clattered back to the stable.
The two of them responded cheerfully, and followed very doggedly.
Entering the inner tent, Dongfang Ran hurriedly stepped forward to light the oil bean lamp and brought it to a wooden square that handled military affairs in Anzhen**.
An Zhenyuan glanced at Dongfang Ran, and the smile in the corner of his eyes was obvious: "Stinky boy, the sense of smell is so sensitive." ”
Dongfang Ran's expression, which An Zhenyuan said, was even more unnatural: Is this scolding him for being a dog? Also has a keen sense of smell. But he didn't dare to resist, that was a big Buddha who couldn't afford to offend.
"I'll show you in advance if I'm so curious, but it's a pity that Yang'er isn't there." Before An Zhenyuan finished speaking, An Dongxu disappeared.
"How did this kid practice this?" An Zhenyuan finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
Dongfang Ran smiled: "I also want to know, I didn't even notice him following me just now." He touched his nose a little embarrassed.
An Zhenyuan scolded in his heart: I didn't know you were following me! Otherwise I won't go.
After a while, Anyang was pulled in by An Dongxu.
The sleepy-eyed An Yang glanced at the three of them: "Why don't you sleep so late?" Aren't you sleepy? ”
The eyes of the three men were rounder than the other, and there was a little sleepiness in them.
Dongfang Ran walked over and rubbed Anyang's fluffy and soft, unerected hair: "I will ensure that you are not sleepy for a while!" ”
An Zhenyuan looked at the two and smiled, but didn't say anything. An Yang secretly glanced at his father: Is this a complete acceptance of this red fox? I can't help but rejoice in my heart.
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, An Zhenyuan took out a small cloth bag in the shape of a long strip from the pocket of his underwear on his chest.
He looked at the three of them for a while: "Don't make a fuss, hold steady!" ”
When he said this, several people's eyes didn't dare to leave the little cloth bag: What kind of treasure still want them to stabilize?
The left and right three layers were wrapped in several layers, and finally after the last layer of parchment was unfolded, a Ming Huang Holy Decree appeared in front of several people.
An Yang was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, if it wasn't for her father's early warning, I'm afraid she would really scream.
Calm as General An, he slowly unfolded the holy decree. This time, Dongfang Ran was not calm.
What is it? It's obviously the edict of succession that King Yun dragged him to find!
"How are you here?" Dongfang Ran was so shocked that his brain was deprived of oxygen.
An Zhen was far from answering, but pointed to the text on it: "This is a secret edict, not an edict of succession." But if the emperor really did what was not allowed in the secret edict, then this is the edict of succession. ”
"What does that mean?" An Yang looked carefully for a while, then raised his head to meet his father's gaze.
"This is a long story, and it has to start with General Tan's retreat to his hometown."
It turned out that on the way back to his hometown with the ashes of his family and father Tan Yushi, Tan Zhang made a special detour to the Northwest Camp.
He didn't alarm anyone, he just found the Gu Mansion in Qingshan City and asked the old housekeeper to quietly make an appointment with An Zhenyuan.
Tan Zhang submitted his resignation less than three months after his father's death and left Beijing in a hurry, which turned out to be for this thing.
When the first emperor was lingering on the sickbed, Tan Yushi, who had quietly sent a secret edict that was usually unknown, but had an upright personality, entered the palace and entrusted him to keep this secret edict.
and told him that he had appointed several highly respected ministers to strictly guard the then crown prince Sima Yan.
At that time, he urged the seventeen princes who were far away in Xiling and followed the immortal doctor Lan Xian to study medicine to return to the dynasty, but there was no movement.
The first emperor had a bad premonition at that time. At that time, except for the crown prince Sima Yan, who was forced to be canonized, there was only King Yun, who was physically disabled.
Knowing that his time was short, but he couldn't wait to return to the seventeenth prince, he had to write the edict and hand it over to the imperial master for safekeeping.
However, the edict clearly stated that brothers and brothers must be respectful, and fratricide is not allowed.
Although the emperor handed over the edict to the imperial master in front of several capital ministers, he was still not at ease and wrote this secret edict again.
And this secret edict of the first emperor also repeatedly considered, considering the cowardly and indisputable character of the seventeenth prince since childhood.
He had to prepare to pass on the throne to Sima Yan, but the premise was that no brothers could kill each other, otherwise he could use this edict to announce to the world that Sima Yan would be abolished and the seventeenth prince Sima Changqing would be the emperor.
Soon after the edict of the first emperor was written, it fell into a dying moment, and the government was naturally handed over to the crown prince.
However, several important ministers entrusted by him had accidents one after another, either suddenly fell ill and died, or were killed by gangsters on the road. The truth of this can be imagined.
During that period of time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were walking on thin ice, and they were cautious, for fear of making a mistake and taking a wrong step.
It wasn't until later that the first emperor returned to heaven, and the edict that should have been read by the Taishi was all written by Shangguan Sheng.
Tan Yushi is lonely and difficult to speak, and it is useless to have a secret edict, not to mention that the seventeenth prince still does not return to the capital, and Sima Yan has not attacked the remnant king Sima Yunshuo.
Tan Lao Yushi had to hide the secret edict until the seventeenth prince Sima Changqing, who was also Gu Jin, had an accident.
Although Tan Lao Yushi had already withdrawn from the court, he felt deeply sorry for the trust of the first emperor. The tragic death of the seventeenth prince made him sick. Finally, on his deathbed, he confessed the matter and handed over the secret edict to his son Tan Zhang.
Tan Zhang didn't sleep for a few nights with this hot potato, and finally had to ask the emperor to resign, sell his property and leave the capital.
He naturally knew that Gu Jin of Qingshan City was the seventeenth prince, and he stole the eldest son of the seventeenth prince for Princess Yunyun back then, and it was instructed by his father Tan Yushi.
He came directly to Qingshan City with the secret edict and handed it over to General An, but for some reason, he didn't tell Sima Yi that he was also the flesh and blood of the seventeenth prince.
The seventeenth prince is dead, and there are no heirs still alive, An Zhenyuan naturally did not plan to announce the secret edict to the world.
But now it's different, since Sima Yi is the youngest son of the seventeenth prince, it is really necessary to discuss who this throne belongs to.
When a few people heard An Zhenyuan finish what had happened, they all looked at each other and were silent for a while.
"So, will my mother and relatives be killed by the emperor? If so, he is no longer qualified to sit in that position. An Yang gritted his teeth with red eyes and said.
"This has to be checked again, and there is no evidence that he sent someone to do it." An Zhenyuan was also a little heavy-hearted, could it really be that their brothers killed each other and killed more than 100 Gu Jin?
What's more, he has fought for him Sima Yan for so many years, and lived a life of drinking blood, but he ruthlessly killed his wife and children?
If this is the case, he An Zhenyuan wants to rebel directly with the army.
"It's better not that he did it!" An Zhenyuan's hands trembled after speaking, and that unforgettable pain had tormented him for nearly four years.
He really didn't want the person behind the scenes to be the emperor that they had been loyal to for three generations, even if his wife and children were implicated, he didn't want it to have anything to do with Jinshang.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, and although everyone was tired, no one felt sleepy.
Dongfang Ran looked at the secret edict and was also excited, in his opinion, the throne was not worth cherishing, but someone was so scheming and killed Zhongliang indiscriminately. Is it really worth it? He couldn't figure it out.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, several people got up in a hurry. Thinking that Lan Jiaojiao might be in danger, although they were tired, they didn't dare to waste any more time.
An Yang came to Dongfang Ran's side and looked up at him, this guy is so tall, she has to look up at him every time.
"Where are the Tuoba Xiang brothers and sisters?" She suddenly noticed that the brother and sister didn't seem to show up.
At this time, An Dongxu came over: "They left when we went to Hantan. Tuoba Lei said that the Great Jin Army was not where they should be. ”
"This pedantic Tuobalei, I thought he had changed!" Anyang complained.
Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, she turned around and caught up with An Dongxu, who was walking forward: "That little girl also went with him?" Is she willing to go back to the Northern Wei Dynasty? ”
Anton Xu paused, hesitated for a moment and then turned around: "She said that she would find a way to sneak away and find her master and them first." ”
An Yang was not curious about how he knew these news, and it should be very quick to find them and say a few words with An Dongxu's actions.
I just don't know if Tuoba Lei, the seventh prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, will be so angry that he will be like thunder.
I'm afraid this sister won't be able to bring back Tuoba Lei! She looked at Andong Wook's back as he turned around and continued to walk, and smiled secretly.
