Chapter 257 Four surnames in Guanzhong
Cai Shisan heard Yingren mention the queen, his body was stunned, and he actually stopped, and Chu Huan heard it clearly in the back, and he was also very curious, could it be that the jade pendant was actually related to the queen?
Cai 13 was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Empress...... The queen showed the jade pendant to Her Royal Highness? ”
"Not really." Yingren shook his head and said: "But this king once saw this jade pendant in the harem of the mother, and brought it over to enjoy it at that time, only half of it, so I asked the queen mother." ”
"That'...... What did the queen say? ”
"The queen mother said that it was her family heirloom, and the king also asked where the other half was, but the queen mother only said that it was in the hands of her relatives, but she didn't mention ...... much!" His face was full of doubt: "Cai Thirteen, is your jade pendant the same as the one in the queen mother's hand?" ”
Although Cai Shisan didn't look back, his body was trembling: "Your Highness, the queen ...... Did the queen say anything else? ”
Yingren thought about it, shook his head and said, "No." The queen mother seems reluctant to mention this jade pendant too much, but this king has seen the queen mother holding that half of the jade pendant a few times, and it looks ......! Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, frowned and asked, "Cai Shisan, are you the queen mother's relative?" ”
Cai 13 said in a trembling voice: "Does His Highness believe that His Highness is a relative of the queen?" ”
"This king ......!" Yingren showed hesitation.
Cai Shisan sighed lightly: "Your Highness believes it, otherwise you would not have followed your ministers here." Continuing to move forward, he said, "Your Highness, this place is very narrow, and after walking forward for a while, there will be a stone room, and we can go to the stone room to rest." ”
Yingren didn't say much.
The three of them walked forward for a while, and suddenly felt that the passage was open, and then entered a stone room, although this stone room is not extremely open, but it is not small, there is a stone table inside, and there are several stone chairs next to it, on the table, there are packages and water bags, obviously the dry food and water that Cai Shisan said have been prepared a long time ago.
It's just that on the other side of the stone room, there is a passage that continues to move forward, but I don't know where it leads.
Cai 13 put the oil lamp on the table and said, "Your Highness, let's rest here for the time being." After a few hours, His Majesty went over to see what was going on outside. ”
Yingren was also very tired and sat down, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu Huan, you also sit down and rest." ”
Chu Huan sat down on the stone chair next to him, and Yingren glanced at Cai Shisan again and said, "You can sit down too." ”
Cai Shisan nodded, sat down, picked up the water bag and handed it to Yingren, and said, "Your Highness, this is Qing Shui." ”
Yingren took the water bag and was about to open it, when he suddenly thought of something, put the water bag back down, shook his head and said, "This king is not thirsty." ”
"Your Highness is still suspicious of Your Majesty." Cai Shisan sighed lightly, then coughed violently, he took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, wiped the corners of his mouth, Yingren and Chu Huan actually found the difference, after the silk handkerchief was wiped, there were blood stains on it.
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Are you injured?" ”
Cai Shisan smiled faintly: "This is an old injury from the past, it is a miracle to be able to live to this day, but this miracle will not last long." ”
Yingren asked, "Can you tell this king now what happened in Zhuangzi before this king arrived?" You have a secret in your heart, what is it? He showed the half of the jade pendant that he had taken from Cai Shisan's hand before, and said, "And this jade pendant, what is going on, you can explain it clearly to this king." ”
Cai Shisan was silent, slowly raised his head, and glanced at Chu Huan as if he was nothing, Yingren was naturally not stupid, and shook his head and said, "You don't have to be taboo with Chu Huan." Chu Huan is the most trusted person of this king, if it weren't for Chu Huan today, this king would have been killed by assassins long ago. After a pause, he said, "If you have anything to say, even if you say it, you don't have to avoid Chu Huan." ”
Yingren followed Xu Congyang to study, and naturally understood a truth, if you really want others to believe in yourself, you must first believe in others.
When he said this, he expressed his trust in Chu Huan in person.
Chu Huan got up and said, "Your Highness, Lord Cai Zhuang may really have something unspeakable, and the humble general will retreat first." ”
Yingren pointed to the dark passage and said, "Do you want to stay there?" The king was almost suffocated there. Xiang Cai 13 said: "Cai 13, say it." ”
Chu Huan looked at Cai Thirteen, and Cai Thirteen had already sighed lightly: "Chu Huan, Your Highness trusts you so much, it can be seen that you are also a loyal person, and there are some things that I am not afraid of you spreading out." He raised his hand and said, "You can sit down too." ”
Chu Huan thought about it and finally sat down.
Cai 13 looked at Yingren and said, "Your Highness, do you think your subordinate's surname is really Cai?" ”
Yingren was stunned, frowned and asked, "Isn't Cai 13 your name?" ”
"Thirteen is a nickname given by others, and there are many people who call it, and many people have forgotten the name of the minister." Cai Shisan stared at Yingren, his eyes were gentle, and he said slowly: "Your Highness, your subordinate's surname is Yuan, and his single name is a feather character!" ”
"Yuan Yu?" Ying Renqi said: "This name is strange, and surnames are also rare. ”
Yuan Yu, who was alias Cai Shisan, said softly: "This name may not be worth mentioning, but this surname, hasn't Your Highness heard of it?" ”
Yingren's body shook suddenly, and he said in surprise: "You...... Your surname is Yuan? ”
Yuan Yu bowed slightly: "Yes, this is a glorious surname." ”
Chu Huan first showed doubts, but soon, his face also showed shock, looked at Yingren, but saw Yingren's face full of surprise, and heard Yingren lose his voice: "Queen Mother...... The queen mother is also surnamed Yuan ......! ”
Empress Daqin, the mother of a country, her name and surname are naturally taboo, ordinary people would never dare to mention it, Yingren didn't care for a while, but the queen was his mother after all, his brain was just dull, but he soon thought of his mother's surname.
Yuan Yu sighed: "The queen's surname Yuan is the same as the surname Yuan of her subordinates. ”
Yingren hurriedly said, "Then what is the relationship between you and the queen mother?" Are you a relative of the queen mother? If it's really the queen mother's relatives, why would she stay in such a ghost place? If you are a member of the mother's clan and get an official position in the court, it is a simple matter. ”
Yuan Yu shook his head and said, "Your Highness's words are wrong. ”
"Wrong?"
"Yes." Yuan Yu nodded again and said, "In today's Great Qin world, there are four surnames who will never be officials in Great Qin. Of the four surnames, only your mother can be the mother of the world. ”
Yingren was a little confused when he heard this, and Chu Huan seemed to understand something, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"Which four surnames are you talking about?" Yingren asked anxiously: "Why can't the four surnames be officials?" ”
"Yuan, Shan, Zhuge and Cheng, these four surnames, you can't be an official in Daqin." Yuan Yu showed a strange look on his face: "Great Qin will not let these four surnames be officials, and these four surnames will never become the lackeys of the Qin State." ”
When Yingren heard this, listening to Yuan Yu's words, it smelled of blasphemy against Daqin, and said angrily: "Cai ......, no, Yuan Yu, you are really bold, do you dare to scold me that Daqin officials are all lackeys?" ”
Yuan Yu's face did not change, he looked at Yingren quietly, and said calmly: "Your Highness, I call myself a subordinate in front of you, not because you are the prince of Great Qin, but because ...... You are the Queen's own son! ”
Yingren was stunned, and he was about to ask, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and muttered: "Yuan, Shan, Zhuge and Cheng...... These four surnames, this king...... This king seems to be familiar with ......! ”
"These four surnames have been glorious in this land for hundreds of years." Yuan Yu sighed lightly, and his face actually showed a different look: "Guan Si, life and death will not give up!" He looked at Yingren, the muscles on his face twitching, "It's just that His Highness can rarely see these four surnames in the world now." ”
"The king remembered." Yingren clapped his hands abruptly and exclaimed, "The Yuan family, that's ...... That's the royal family of the former dynasty! ”
Chu Huan said solemnly: "Guan Si surname, that is also the surname of the four great powers of the previous dynasty Dahua Dynasty!" ”
Yingren Huoran stood up, his face was full of horror, he took two steps back, and pointed at Yuan Yu, "You...... Are you a former royal family? You...... Are you going to harm this king? He finally thought that the royal family of the Dahua Dynasty of the previous dynasty was surnamed Yuan, since this Cai 13 was surnamed Yuan, and there was such a mysterious secret, it was very likely to be the legacy of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the legacy of the previous dynasty was with the prince of the current dynasty, and there was no doubt that it was the enemy of life and death.
Thinking of this, Yingren immediately felt that he was falling for Yuan Yu, and this Yuan Yu was deliberately bringing himself here, and he must have ulterior motives.
He was regretting that he had believed Yuan Yu, but he heard that Yuan Yu had already said very calmly: "If anyone surnamed Yuan wants to harm His Royal Highness, then the first person to harm His Royal Highness is probably not me, but the queen." ”
When Yingren heard this, he calmed down, groaned slightly, and then sat down again and asked, "Aren't you the royal family of the previous dynasty?" ”
Yuan Yu smiled faintly, sighed lightly, and finally said: "Guan Si's surname, there is not much left now, even if there are descendants, they can only live incognito and live a life that does not see the light of day." Then he said word by word: "Yes, I am a relic of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the surname Yuan is not extinct!" ”
Yingren exclaimed: "Then do you mean to say that the queen mother ...... The queen mother, she is also a royal family of the former dynasty? ”
Yuan Yu nodded and said with great certainty: "Exactly." The queen is the princess of Qingping in the previous dynasty, and she is also my own sister. ”
Yingren and Chu Huan showed a look of horror on their faces at the same time, Yuan Yu's words were simply incredible, and the two of them couldn't come back to their senses for a while.
The queen is the princess of the previous dynasty, and she is also the sister of Yuan Yu, so isn't Yuan Yu the prince of the Dahua Dynasty?
Why is the prince of the dignified Dahua Dynasty now reduced to such a situation, chatting about his life in a gloomy mountain villa? And why did Princess Qingping of the previous dynasty become the queen of the Great Qin Empire?
How can the situation of the two brothers and sisters be so different?
Yuan Yu picked up the half of the jade pendant that Yingren put on the stone table, and said slowly: "This is the palace jade of my Dahua Dynasty, and only people from the royal family can have it." This jade pendant was given to me by my father back then, and the half of your mother's jade pendant was also given to her by myself back then, so that she would not forget her true identity. ”
Yingren raised his hand tremblingly and shouted angrily, "You...... Your nonsense is all nonsense. ”
Yuan Yu's originally cloudy eyes suddenly shot out of light, stared at Yingren, and said sharply: "You know in your heart that I'm not talking nonsense. I am your own uncle, and your blood still flows with the blood of my Dahua royal family! ”
