The little eunuch beside the prince was also very obedient, and after serving tea, he glanced at the rest of the palace people, and retreated together.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Su Yan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help it, and said without complaints: "Brave and wise prince, don't hang my appetite." ”

Seeing that Su Yan was impatient, the prince finally put down the teacup and opened his mouth: "That's it, let me tell you, in fact, all this is a game set up by my father and me." A smug smile appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth.

"On the night of Hanyan's killing, Wu Zheng received a report that someone had committed murder near the garden in Mingcui Lane in the south of the city."

"Mingcui Lane? That's the only way to Shaoyang's mansion......" Su Yan already had a plan in his heart, and the so-called "report" was only deliberately done by someone.

Seeing that Su Yan was already aware of it, the prince continued: "That's right, when Wu Zheng arrived at the garden with the soldiers, he saw Sikong Shaoyang and Hanyan, who was already dead beside him. Of course, Wu Zheng didn't think that Hanyan was killed by Shaoyang, but Shaoyang didn't prove his innocence for the first time, and the first thing he said was: 'Wu Zheng, I did it, I'll go back with you.'" ’”

"Shao Yang is actually so restrained?" Su Yan was really puzzled.

The prince nodded: "Since Shaoyang is a person in front of the emperor and has a special identity, don't say that it is the criminal department, even if it is sent to Dali Temple, it is inappropriate, so Wu Zheng braved the night to ask for a decree to enter the palace." After his father found out, he naturally didn't believe that Shaoyang was the real murderer, and if he really killed someone, how could he wait there to be arrested? But he didn't say a word about turning white for himself, and insisted that he did it himself. ”

"This ......" Su Yan quickly sorted out everything in his mind, and in his impression, Sikong Shaoyang had mentioned to himself that he and Na Hanyan were confidants and friends, in that case, how could he kill her? If someone deliberately framed Sikong Shaoyang, then who is this person? What does the whole thing have to do with smoking?

"Although Shao Yang refused to reveal the ins and outs of the matter, after getting along with him for so many years, his temperament and demeanor were still understood, and at that time, it was clear that he was deliberately concealing it, and he must have something unspeakable to hide."

Hearing this, Su Yan frowned, if Sikong Shaoyang has something unspeakable, the person he cares about the most is his sister Su Wu, could it be that this matter is related to Su Wu? An inexplicable concern came to mind.

Since he didn't want to say it, my father and I couldn't force it, but Hanyan was not an ordinary person, and her death would inevitably cause an uproar, so my father put him in a secret prison and announced that he was sent to Lin'an County. One is that since someone wants to harm him, the prison is the safest place, and the other is to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Su Yan understood the emperor's intentions, "Indeed, if someone wants to blame him and kill people with a knife, there will be an uproar outside, once there are rumors of Shaoyang killing people, someone will force the government to hand over Shaoyang." ”

Later, his father ordered Wu Zheng and Qiu Jingxuan to secretly investigate the matter, and the next night after Meng Zheng left the palace, he saw a familiar figure when he passed through the Buddhist hall in the east of the city, and after seeing the person's side face, Wu Zheng suddenly remembered that the person was the man who reported the murder of Mingcui Lane with him at that time, so he deliberately investigated from the person who reported it, and found that the person was actually Tao Zhongyu's subordinate. And on the same night, Qiu Jingxuan also learned from a running hall in Jingfuju who was familiar with Hanyan that Hanyan died on the night he was resting and not dancing, so there were not many guests in the restaurant, but Hanyan appeared in the restaurant at night, and the running hall noticed her, at that time she came down from the third floor to find an inconspicuous corner and sat down, and it didn't take long for Tao Zhongyu to come down from downstairs and go directly out of the restaurant. Ran to the hall to greet the other guests, and wanted to go and say hello to Hanyan, but found that she left in a hurry. ”

Su Yan quickly thought of all this: Tao Zhongyu was about to get married, Tao Zhongyu was very busy, how could he appear in Jingfuju at night, it happened to be the night of Hanyan's accident, and the time was too coincidental.

Seeing Su Yan's shocked face, the prince said, "Don't be surprised yet, what I'm going to tell you next will really shock you." The prince took a sip of the teacup and said meaningfully: "Ayan, how much do you know about Shaoyang?" ”

Su Yan didn't expect the prince to suddenly ask himself, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "A long time ago, he was brought back from the slave farm in Beiqiang by the former emperor, and was named the commander of the Praetorian Guard because he sacrificed his life to save the former emperor......"

"Then do you know why he became a martial arts slave in the Beiqiang Slave Farm? With his outstretched hand and talent to talk, he was by no means an ordinary origin, so what was his origin before he entered the slave farm? ”

Being asked like this, Su Yan was really stunned, indeed, he was almost completely ignorant of what happened before Shaoyang came to Shangling City.

"Shao Yang, he was ...... back then"

This talk is half an hour, and the tea of the two of them has also bottomed out.

"What? Drugged the emperor's tea, and the emperor knew about it at all? Su Yan looked at the teacup in front of him in disbelief, thinking of how Shaoyang had put the poison into the teacup of the Emperor in the first place.

"Yes, when the emperor's grandfather was dying, he summoned me and my father to his side, told us everything about Shaoyang, and made a final decree, asking us not to ask the blame for Sikong Shaoyang, and to continue to trust him and reuse him. The emperor naturally refused, even though the emperor's grandfather was old and sick, but Shaoyang was the direct murderer, but the emperor's grandfather said: For the time when he attacked Linguo, he did not keep the Sikong clan, a family of loyal and righteous generals, and he has always felt guilty and regretful......"

For that war, Su Yan had heard some from his father's mouth, although it was not the dark history of Dongzhao, because the king of Lin was mediocre and incompetent, and instead of saving the people from fire and water, but in order to capture that small country, the methods of Dongzhao's army can be said to be extremely fierce and cruel, and many soldiers of Lin Guo swore to die and not surrender, so they caused a lot of tragic collisions, and there was also the tragedy of the Sikong family.

For that war, the emperor was taboo, and the courtiers were also secretive, and the historians only wrote a few notes, so the destruction of the Lin Kingdom was gradually forgotten.

"In the end, Linguo became my Lin'an County in Dongzhao, although the emperor's grandfather was doubly gracious, but in the face of the martyrdom of the Sikong family, he had doubts about his own approach, and he was seriously ill for several months because of worry. When he returned to Shangling City with Shaoyang, the emperor's grandfather knew that he was old, and then the new emperor's succession to the throne would inevitably have some turmoil, and the emperor's grandfather had been helping his father find a candidate who could be reused and trusted, and he took a fancy to Shaoyang's character and ability, and he did not have any entanglement of the Dongzhao clan behind him, and was an excellent auxiliary monarch and good minister, but the emperor's grandfather also knew that he was a national enemy and a family hatred in Shaoyang, how could he eliminate it? So he chose to let him "slash the enemy" in that way, and then be loyal to Dongzhao without distraction. ”
