Chapter 1011: The Last Imperial Family
The queen's face turned a little pale and asked, "He...... What did he say? ”
"He's already told me what he should have told me." Yingren looked at the empress, "Queen Mother, you are the princess of the Dahua Empire, and my veins are not only flowing with the most noble blood of the Great Qin Dynasty, but also the blood of the Dahua Empire." My uncle told me that if this country has a real owner, it can only be me. ”
The queen's plump lips trembled slightly, "He has already told you that he is your uncle?" ”
"Mother, is he my uncle?" Yingren stared into the queen's eyes, "Only you can tell me this answer." ”
The queen sighed, and finally said, "How is he now?" ”
Yingren hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I haven't told the queen mother the truth, I'm just scared...... I'm afraid that the queen mother will be sad ......! Looking at the queen, she stopped talking.
What a smart woman the queen is, Yingren's expression and his desire to speak stopped, and suddenly the queen understood something, her two hands were already clasped, and she said in a trembling voice: "Could it be ...... Could it be that he has ......! ”
"Queen Mother, Uncle is gone." Yingren said in a low voice: "He is for me, he saved the child's life, if he is not my uncle, how can he make such a huge sacrifice......!" ”
Tears slid down the corners of the queen's eyes, her eyes were full of endless sadness, Yingren leaned over and held the queen's hand, "Queen Mother, don't be sad, although your uncle is gone, but the child is still there, the child swears that you must protect the queen mother well and not let anyone hurt you." ”
The queen said sadly: "He didn't lie to you, he is indeed your uncle, he is the prince of the Dahua Empire...... Twenty years ago, in the first battle of the Zhongxiao Palace, the last samurai of the Dahua Empire almost lost the Zhongyi Palace, and your uncle did not recognize and left them behind...... Zhongyi Village, this name has been changed well, the last warriors of Dahua are all loyal and righteous people! ”
Yingren frowned and said, "Uncle is the only relative of the queen mother, has it been since then, haven't we seen each other since?" ”
The queen smiled bitterly and said: "Before your father unified the world, the queen mother already had a marriage contract with the emperor, and the queen mother promised him that as long as he conquered Luo'an City, let the queen mother see Qu Chuli's traitor being removed, and the queen mother would marry the emperor...... When the queen mother was six years old, Qu Chuli captured Luo'anjing, and the queen mother could only follow your uncle and live in exile under the protection of the last samurai of the Dahua Empire. At that time, the world was in turmoil, the princes were strife, and your uncle and queen mother traveled all over the world, and finally defected to your father's side ......! ”
Yingren nodded slightly and said: "The child knows that the banner that my father played at that time was to get rid of Qu Chuli and revive the Dahua Empire ......!" ”
"I don't blame your father." The queen said softly: "The world is divided, fighting for the world, if the name is not right, it is not good, Dahua is the court supported by the four surnames of Guan, Qu Chuli fought the capital, cruel and ruthless, wantonly killed the people with the four surnames of Guan, Yuan, Shan, Zhuge and Cheng, suffered a catastrophe, Qu Chuli is the founding of the pseudo-Qi, claiming to be the emperor...... He is the evil thief of the country, and your father and emperor have killed the pseudo-Qi, which is also a matter ...... the world to return to! ”
"But...... Although the pseudo-Qi was destroyed, the world was finally Daqin's. Yingren said softly: "Father is lying. ”
"No matter what your father's original intentions were, he couldn't help it later." The queen sighed faintly: "What is the purpose of the military generals who fought with him in the world? It's not for the sake of glory and wealth, glory and ancestry, they followed your father to fight the world, and they wanted to become the founding ministers, at that time, only the queen mother and your uncle were left in the Dahua royal family, even if your father was willing to return the world to the Yuan family, but would the people under him be willing? ”
Yingren knew that Yingyuan had conquered and destroyed the kingdoms, but in the end he let someone from the Yuan family be the emperor, which was of course impossible.
"When I followed your uncle to your father, I really thought that your father might really be able to revive Dahua at first." The queen's voice is very soft, although she is over forty years old, but she is very well maintained, her temperament is natural, graceful and luxurious, and her skin is also very shiny, and she does not look relaxed and old because of her age, but because of her mature temperament, she looks more elegant and dignified, noble and natural, "The queen mother has been living with your uncle for ten years and defected to your father's side, and your father and emperor take great care of us......!" ”
"Has my father announced to the world that the princess and prince of Dahua are by his side?" Yingren's eyes flickered and he asked in a low voice.
The queen looked at Yingren with a strange look, as if she was surprised that Yingren asked such a thing, and after a while, she sighed: "Yingren, you ...... It's really grown up, and it's really changed......! She stroked Yingren's face with her hand, "Your father once told me that if you want a man to grow up quickly, you have to let him fight...... He is right, you are now grown up and mature, but ...... The queen mother ...... in her heart! At this point, he just shook his head with a wry smile and did not continue.
"Queen Mother, so many people have died in the Tongtian Temple, you haven't seen it with your own eyes." Yingren's eyes flickered, "That's the first time a child has seen such a scene, what is an enemy?" I now understand that if your knife hesitates and does not decisively cut off the opponent's head, then the enemy's knife will definitely cut your throat...... It's as simple as that, if the child wants to protect the mother, he must first protect himself, Lang Wuxuan has a sentence that is not wrong, to protect himself, the only way to protect himself is to get rid of the enemy, treat the enemy, and show no mercy. ”
The queen closed her eyes, and Yingren hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, did the child say the wrong thing?" ”
"Son, you may not be wrong, but ...... Behind the scenes never wanted you to be like that. The queen said quietly: "Your question just now, do you think that when we defected to your father, the emperor would use us to make a banner?" ”
Yingren said: "When my father fought the world, the banner he played was to restore Dahua, the queen mother, you are the princess of Dahua, and your uncle is the prince of Dahua, if you announce your existence to the world, Daqin's army will naturally be more justified!" ”
"The most important reason why the queen mother admires your father is related to this." The queen said: "Actually, your uncle also said at the beginning that if we defect to your father, he will definitely inform the Quartet of our identity and use us as a banner, but this is not the case...... When we defected to your father, although we told your father of our identity, but your father did not make our identity public, at that time knew the identity of me and your uncle, very few, and few people, even today, above the Great Qin Dynasty, few people know that the queen mother is the princess of Dahua, many people only think that your uncle is a rebel who defected to your father, and few people know our true identity ......! Her expression softened, "Your father told me that at that time, the princes were fighting for hegemony, not only did Akari fight on the battlefield, but also the princes sent assassins to each other, assassination, your father and emperor have endured countless assassinations, and several times were almost succeeded by assassins, he was worried that if the identity of me and your uncle was known, someone with other intentions would send assassins to assassinate us, so in order to protect us, we never made our identities public." ”
Yingren was just thoughtful and didn't speak.
"But later, the iron hooves of the Qin State conquered the world, and the eighteen vassal states were destroyed by the iron hooves of the Great Qin one after another, and your uncle gradually saw clearly that Dahua was no longer possible to revivelate, and your father's subordinates have always regarded themselves as the courtiers of the Great Qin, and no one would say that they were the courtiers of the Dahua Dynasty, and even later, everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Dahua Dynasty......!" The queen said softly: "After the first battle of the Zhongxiao Courtyard, so many people died, your father sent someone to pick up his mother and leave, but your uncle finally said goodbye to the queen mother at that time, and he told the queen mother that he would stay in the Zhongyi Courtyard and guard the tomb for those dead Dahua warriors, they were the last warriors of Dahua, and he, as the prince of Dahua, stayed there to guard them, so that their loyal souls could rest in peace." ”
Yingren's brows tightened slightly, he thought about it, his lips moved slightly, and finally said, "Queen Mother, uncle...... Uncle would rather be separated from you than stay there, isn't it...... Just to guard the tomb of the samurai? ”
Yingren is a smart person, he used to like to have fun, carefree, and didn't put his mind on the battle of people's hearts, but after all, he is Xu Congyang's disciple, he has read many books, and Xu Congyang has not told him less anecdotes about the emperors and generals in the past.
The queen frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"In fact, the queen mother should know better than the child." Yingren looked at the queen's eyes, those dark and beautiful eyes were flashing, "Uncle stayed there, maybe just to protect the queen mother." Said slowly: "Farewell to the Loyal and Filial Piety Courtyard, although the queen mother has never seen her uncle again, but ...... Could it be that the queen mother has not exchanged letters with her uncle for twenty years, and she knows nothing about her uncle? ”
The queen's body trembled slightly, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes again.
"The queen mother, my uncle stayed in the Zhongxiao Courtyard, I am afraid because he knew that if he continued to follow the queen mother, it was very likely that he would end up with the queen mother." Yingren said in a low voice: "Uncle has never forgotten, he is the prince of the Dahua Empire, he has not forgotten, and his father will not forget, his father is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and he is the master of the world, and the queen mother is the mother of the world, but what about the uncle?" Will my father forget the fact that my uncle is the son of Dahua? ”
The queen held Yingren's hand, and her voice trembled, "Child, don't say these words again...... That's not what you should say...... Forget about these, the queen mother will find a way to get you out of the whirlpool and let you ...... Keep you peaceful! ”
"Uncle stayed in the Zhongxiao Courtyard because he had no choice but to stay." Yingren did not stop, but continued to whisper: "Because my uncle knows very well that when his father ascends the throne, if he still follows his father's side, he will inevitably be killed, and even ...... will be affected by his mother. ”
