89. The wishes of the deceased
The jade pendant was handed over to Jiang Chen, he took it and looked back and forth, the little marquis is not good at anything else, it is still okay to look at an antique or something.
This thing looks old, and the engraving is also used by people in the royal family, and he will not be wrong with the words on the plate below. "It's a letter from the Prince's Mansion."
Mr. May said that the deceased had asked him to keep it on his behalf. Because it seems that some people have become suspicious of their family, if this thing is found by those people, there seems to be some bad consequences.
This incident was unexpected by Quan Rou and Jiang Chen.
Prince Sui of the Great Zhou is a hereditary title.
But from the first prince to the throne, every prince of this title did not live to stand for a long time.
Some were lucky enough to have children, and some didn't live long enough to have children. Therefore, the title of Prince Sui is completely inherited by a distant relative.
When it comes to this generation of Prince Sui, I don't know how far away it is from the royal family.
Moreover, this generation of Prince Sui has also inherited the "excellent tradition" of previous generations, and before the age of establishment, there is no one, and there is only one Princess Sui who has been holding on.
Logically speaking, it is to be passed.
But this generation of princesses and princesses said that they would not succeed at all.
Now that the imperial power is falling, the emperor in Beijing is still busy dealing with a group of jackals, tigers and leopards around him, and he has no time to deal with the old princess who is far away in Jinling, but the succession is not the successor, anyway, this title of the prince is only one name left in this generation.
Gradually, people forgot about it.
Jiang Chen had only seen Prince Sui once when he was young, and the old princess was already old at that time, and her whole body was lifeless, Jiang Chen only remembered her cloudy eyes and a cumbersome and heavy makeup dress.
The old princess has rarely gone out to see people since she lived alone, and whenever she goes out, she must wear a lot of makeup.
The people who live here in Jinling are all relatives of the emperor, and they are willing to give her old man a face, and give her a post for everything, whether she comes or not is the matter of the old princess.
With so many posts handed in, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Only once, at the reception banquet held by the county lord of Hui'an for Jiang Xiaohou, the old princess attended.
At that time, Jiang Chen was only five or six years old? He remembered that he should have come back from the Chu Palace, Kyoto, and his mother said that she would give him a reception banquet, and Jiang Chen met Prince Sui on that day.
may be because the dress of the princess is too gloomy, and now Jiang Chen recalls it, and he still feels goosebumps all over his body. "The son of your deceased has a relationship with the people of the prince's mansion, what is the relationship? Prince Sui didn't leave any descendants, did he? ”
Quan Rou didn't know this, she didn't know much about Mr. Mei's background. A big reason for trusting him is due to Mr. Min's recommendation.
Mr. Min is Xie Yun's confidant, and Quan Rou has always trusted her.
Therefore, since he didn't want to say anything about Mr. Mei's life experience, Quan Rou didn't ask more.
So now the question raised by Jiang Xiaohou Ye is also what Quan Rou wants to ask.
So the eyes of the two of them brushed together to look at Mr. Mei.
Mr. Mei only felt the cold sweat on his body, and instantly lifted his spirits, and replied a little faster than usual, "The little marquis said to be laughing, the old man in my mouth naturally can't be the blood relatives of Prince Sui......"
"The life history of this deceased is also very complicated, they are the descendants of the first generation of Sui Prince's concubine, and after the death of the first generation of Sui Prince, they were dismissed by the princess," Mr. Mei coughed, "According to him, the task of each of their generations is to raise a child, and that child is sent out by the people of Jinling Sui Prince's Mansion, and they raise it on their behalf, and then after the death of this generation Sui Prince, someone will come to pick ......it up."
When Quan Rou and Jiang Chen heard this, their thoughts gradually became confused.
"What do you mean, sir? Their family is incognito, in order to raise someone for Prince Sui's mansion? Quan Rou caught this point in Mr. Mei's words.
Jiang Chen was more aware of these relationships than Quan Rou, he thought for a while and asked, "That child, could it be Prince Sui's parent?" ”
Mr. Mei chuckled and said, "Little Hou Ye is really smart!" ”
This word didn't sound like a good word in Jiang Chen's ears, he waved his hand, "It's okay, but it doesn't make sense, why do you have to send it out to raise it if you have an heir?" Wasn't the first Prince Sui the brother of the founding emperor? And after being knighted, the prince left Beijing and came to Jinling at his own invitation, handed over the tiger talisman in his hand, and only got a title and reward. ”
As a disciple of the Hou Mansion, although he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, Jiang Chen still heard these things clearly.
Mr. May's argument clearly does not make sense to him.
Why would the Emperor go to great lengths for a legacy that could not threaten his brother's legacy?
What did the prince think, send his own son outside to raise, and when he died according to the emperor's will, he asked someone to take him back to inherit the title? Isn't that a harm to the child? What the hell is the picture?
Quan Rou couldn't figure it out even more.
"If what Mr. said is true, then why doesn't this generation of Prince Sui accept her stepson?"
Isn't that her son?
"This generation of Prince Sui is six years older than Prince Sui. My old man said that she didn't accept her stepson because the child wasn't hers at all. She would rather see the death of Prince Sui than a wild child. ”
Mr. Mei seemed to have thought of something not very good, his face changed a lot, after speaking, he sighed slightly, and his eyes turned around Quan Rou and Jiang Chen, who obviously hadn't been able to figure it out yet, "There are many situations, Mei doesn't know very well, if the little marquis and the girl want to know, just wait for this matter to come to an end, Mei Mou invited the old man to come and see the two." ”
This man arched his hand, and began to talk about Zhao De's affairs again.
"The old man is willing to help this time, and he also wants to ask the girl and the little marquis for something."
Jiang Chen listened to the story he had just told for a long time, and his mind also turned a corner, "Could it be that he wants this child to inherit the position of Prince Sui?" ”
"No," Mr. Mei wiped the jade pendant on his hand, "He thought about settling the grievances and cutting them off," he pointed to the sky with one hand, and the smile on his face made Jiang Chen's whole person a little bad.
Heaven, heaven. Mr. Mei pointed to the heavens and said, the emperor is also called the Son of Heaven, doesn't this mean that Mr. Mei, the old man, wants to kill the Son of Heaven?
In other words, isn't this a rebellion?
Quan Rou also understood, but she didn't think there was anything bad, she knew that there were more people who wanted to rebel, but there were many of them.
