Chapter 732: The Secret of Identity
"What's this, does the identity of the official's mother have anything to do with the official?" Meng Yan said calmly.
"At that time, Ling Tang and Master Jing Ci were pregnant at the same time, Ling Tang had an unfortunate miscarriage, and Master Jing Ci gave birth to you, Lord Meng, Lord Meng, didn't you expect that you were actually a Tianhuang noble with the blood of a true dragon?" Fang Junhe said with a smile.
"My lord, Bai Aya has arrived!"
"Get out, no one is allowed to go near the prison!" Meng Yan commanded sharply.
"Yes!"
"Fang Junhe, Fang Sanye, this story is not interesting at all, if you want to use this as a threat and want to save your life, I think you have miscalculated."
"I know, when I tell this secret, the first person to kill must be you, Lord Meng, but I have to fight no matter what, this is my only chance, isn't it?" Fang Junhe said.
"So, you let the official stay and listen to you talk this nonsense?"
"Is it nonsense, can Master Meng listen to me patiently?" Fang Junhe smiled.
"Okay, this official should listen to a story, and treat it as your last words before you die!"
"Then Master Meng will listen to me and tell you slowly."
"Twenty years ago, the first emperor to Queen Hu childless and sick as a reason, let Queen Hu resign, and then retreat to Chang'an Palace, given the name Jingci Immortal, the first emperor then canonized Sun Guifei as the queen, that is, the current Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Dowager Sun soon gave birth to the prince for the emperor, is the current emperor, and although Empress Hu was abolished, but the joy of the old Empress Dowager Zhang, often called her to live in the Qingning Palace, the first emperor often went to the Empress Dowager Zhang to ask for peace, this was originally a husband and wife, even if the abolition of the poster, that was once in a bed after all. came and went, but found that Queen Hu, who had been abolished, was actually pregnant. ”
"It's not that Empress Hu can't have children, but she has never been able to give birth to a prince, and the emperor's abolition of the queen is already unpopular, and now she is pregnant after the abolition, if the ministers of the court and the central government know. It is bound to cause an uproar. ”
Meng Yan nodded, Fang Junhe was right.
At that time, most of the old ministers in the court were opposed to the emperor abolishing the queen, and the enchanting Sun Guifei was the queen, if it was learned that Empress Hu was pregnant, then the crime of the abolition would not be established.
If a prince is born, it will be a righteous prince.
And the son of the queen, since the day he was born, there have been many rumors that he was not born by the queen. It was a palace maid next to the emperor's grandson, who was born after pregnancy, and was held by the queen as his own son.
Coupled with the fact that the grandson gave birth at term, this seems to confirm these rumors even more, the imperial doctor who diagnosed the queen as pregnant at that time resigned from his official position soon after, returned to his hometown, and died of a violent illness in less than half a year, etc.!
Around the platform born by the grandson, many mysteries have not been solved.
But no matter what. As long as the emperor believes that this son was born to himself and his grandson, then it will be fine.
What's more, at that time, the first emperor was very fond of his grandson. The harmony between the beds was incomparable, and the queen's position in the palace was soon stabilized.
"Empress Dowager Zhang has never liked Concubine Sun Guifei, Empress Hu was personally chosen by her for the first emperor, and she is also a little dissatisfied with the first emperor's approach, but her son is older and has his own opinions. She can stop it for a while, but she can't stop it for a lifetime, seeing that Empress Hu's belly is getting bigger day by day, there are many people in this palace, and she will definitely not be able to hide it. Empress Dowager Zhang thought of Hu Shanwei, a female official who was released from the palace to marry by herself! ”
Meng Yan was silent, he didn't know how much of what Fang Junhe said was true and how much was made up, but at least it sounded basically the same as what Guo Nu and Sai Xiaoyu said now.
"This Hu Shanwei is the sister of Empress Hu, that is definitely a credible person, as soon as I inquired, Hu Shanwei was also pregnant, and now the old queen mother decided to send Empress Hu out of the palace, nominally to be with his sister as a companion, to scatter her heart, but in fact to cover her belly that is gradually fighting."
"You go on."
"The first emperor didn't know that Empress Hu was pregnant at that time, and even the only people in the palace who knew this secret at that time were Empress Dowager Zhang and a few palace maids around her, of course, the palace maids around Empress Hu also knew, otherwise, I wouldn't know these today."
Meng Yan understood that someone must have betrayed him by his mother's side back then, otherwise the queen would not have known so quickly.
"As soon as the first emperor heard that the queen mother said that he wanted to send Hu Hou out of the palace and live with his sister for a few days, he agreed without thinking about it, and he could see Hu Hou every day when he came to invite An, he actually had some regrets in his heart, and the first emperor also knew that Hu Hou was virtuous, there was nothing wrong, the fault was himself, and he felt guilty, besides, he was given the immortal name, he was not a worldly person, what palace rules, it was not so important, so he agreed, and Hu Hou took two palace maids to live in his sister's house."
"The Empress Dowager Zhang also sent a large internal guard to protect secretly, of course, Hu Shanwei's husband, that is, Lord Meng's adoptive father, is also a great character, strong in martial arts, loyal, but he is too upright, so he is depressed, and he will end up in 100 households."
Of course, this Meng Yan knows that his father's temper is very stubborn, he almost never saw him smile when he was a child, and how strict he was with him is still very deep in his memory.
"Lord Meng probably doesn't know that Ling Zun and Ling Tang were matched by Empress Dowager Zhang." Fang Junhe said.
Meng Yan frowned slightly, he really didn't know this, neither Guo Nu nor Sai Xiaoyu had mentioned it to him.
"Ling Zun probably didn't expect that Empress Hu would go out of the palace to live in his own house, Empress Hu's belly is getting bigger day by day, Ling Zun naturally guessed something, he had the courage, and he didn't show a trace of his mouth, but unfortunately, the news finally leaked out."
Meng Yan didn't know much about this process, but Sai Xiaoyu knew that she was one of the two palace maids beside Empress Hu at that time, and she was also responsible for protecting Empress Hu's safety, and the other was mainly taking care of her mother's diet and daily life.
"Empress Hu is pregnant with a dragon species, and may be a prince, which is a huge threat to Sun Guifei, who has become the queen, because this former queen is very virtuous in the hearts of ministers and the people, even if she can't restore the throne, but the prince she gave birth to must be extremely noble, and when the time comes, there will be a huge threat to her son's succession, so. Strike first. ”
"So she asked someone to buy the killer outside the palace, and prepared to assassinate Empress Hu, even if she couldn't kill the other party, she could have an abortion."
"An elaborate and premeditated assassination plan was quickly formulated!"
"However, at this time, none of the parties involved, including your father, were aware of the danger."
"A dark and windy night. Dozens of elite killers raided the Meng Mansion, but, what they never expected was that these killers regarded your adoptive mother, that is, Hu Shanwei, as Empress Hu, and as a result, your mother was five months pregnant at the time and had a miscarriage! ”
"Your father kept it a secret, even if he hid the truth from the Empress Dowager Zhang, he only said that your mother was a little frightened."
That's the truth. It's a little different from what Guo Nu and Sai Xiaoyu said.
Assassination, miscarriage, these Sai Xiaoyu and Guo Nu didn't mention it, Guo Nu may not know, but why did Sai Xiaoyu hide it from himself?
She didn't know, impossible, it must be for some reason to deliberately hide these things.
This time after going back. Be sure to ask.
"Ling Zun knows, if your adoptive mother has a miscarriage. It is difficult to hide the identity of the son born to Empress Hu, at that time, they seemed to have made a decision to hand you over to Ling Zun and his wife to raise, and it can be claimed that they gave birth to twins, and no one will doubt it. Fang Junhe continued.
I have to say that what Fang Junhe said is very reasonable. Maybe they had already planned to do so at the time.
Maybe before, maybe after the assassination, who would get rid of the child in Hu Hou's womb at any price?
Except for Sun Guifei, who squeezed out Empress Hu and ascended to the back seat, there is no second person.
"Three months later. Empress Hu gave birth to a baby boy, and then, your adoptive mother died of depression due to serious injuries in that assassination, and it was said that your mother died of a blood collapse after giving birth. ”
"Fang Junhe, how do you know this, as if you have seen it with your own eyes?" Meng Yan was skeptical.
Isn't it strange that such a horrible secret should be known to an irrelevant person?
Even he didn't know the details of the client, which was really weird.
"Lord Meng should remember Bao'en Temple, right?"
"You're with the cause, and you're in a group?" Meng Yan looked at Fang Junhe in surprise, although he had already guessed it in his heart, he was still surprised to hear Fang Junhe admit it himself.
"I also participated in that assassination back then."
"You?"
"Master Meng doesn't believe it, I'm a weak scholar, how can I kill people with a knife, in fact, what I do is just planning, killing people and setting fires are done by other people." Fang Junhe smiled slightly.
"It's a good story, it's very exciting, and everyone who listens to it is fascinated." Meng Yan clapped his hands.
"Why should Lord Meng deceive himself, you should have been a noble body in the sky, this world was originally yours, but now you have to kneel at the feet of the son of the enemy, don't you want to get back your own qiē?" Fang Junhe asked.
"Fang Junhe, Third Master Fang, I didn't expect you to have a mouth with a clever tongue, which really amazed the official." Meng Yan smiled, "What you said is very exciting, but this official clearly told you, I don't believe what you said." ”
"Master Meng, why do you bother, I'm a person who is going to die, why don't you admit it?" Fang Junhe said.
"No, it's not, doesn't the official even know his own background?" Meng Yan said, "Not to mention that the official you said is not the right person, this is the first, secondly, my mother is not called Hu Shanwei, you are also wrong, and then, these nonsense you make up can only deceive children, how can the official believe you as a wicked person?" ”
Fang Junhe was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to work hard, this Meng Yan didn't enter the oil and salt, and he didn't believe what he said at all.
Gritting his teeth, Fang Junhe said, "If Lord Meng doesn't believe it, you can open the coffin for Ling Tang for an autopsy." ”
"You've dug my mother's grave!" Meng Yan was furious in an instant, and the murderous opportunity was suddenly revealed.
"No, no, Master Meng, don't get me wrong, we just wanted to verify our speculation, we just opened it and looked at it, and immediately put it back......" Fang Junhe was frightened by Meng Yan's expression. (To be continued......)
