Chapter 311: Royal Blood
At this time, Gu Huanli was full of questions like Lu Xuan, and Bai Yi pondered for a while before sighing: "Speaking of which, this matter is really a sin, and all this has to start with the father of the current saint, that is, the former emperor Liang Chengdi." ”
According to Bai Yi, Emperor Liang Cheng was born of his mother's concubine and his minister's fornication, and in order to save his life, he did everything possible to sit on the throne, and even did not hesitate to mutilate his siblings and tamper with the edict of the first emperor.
On the contrary, Gu Huanli's father, Gu Chenglin, was born to Taizong and the empress, but he was stolen by Emperor Liang Cheng's mother and quietly replaced by the child of the prince's family in private.
Since then, Gu Chenglin has become the son of the prince, and the child who replaced him as the eldest son of the royal family was persecuted before he was a minor, and the queen also fell out of favor at that time, her status plummeted, and she died of depression.
Many years later, Emperor Liang Cheng's mother ascended to the phoenix throne and began to help him remove the stumbling blocks on the road to succession, and mutilated the princes who threatened him one by one.
At that time, although Gu Chenglin was only the son of the prince, he had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he was able to do everything in literature and martial arts.
The fame reached the ears of the vicious empress, and seeing that Emperor Liang Cheng's succession to the throne was just around the corner, she said that she would not let anyone become an obstacle to him at this time.
The queen framed Gu Chenglin in every possible way, and kept co-opting the forces of the DPRK and China to impose a lot of trumped-up charges on him, so the family was sent to Yongxiang to escape for 14 years.
But even so, she still failed to satisfy the queen, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, she simply gave Gu Chenglin the crime of rebellion, and also took advantage of Taizong's serious illness to steal the jade seal and order someone to execute Gu Chenglin.
The royal family is scattered, Emperor Liang Cheng is not right-minded, Taizong has long been aware of it, and has been reluctant to make him a prince, until he was seriously ill in bed, he inadvertently learned Gu Chenglin's true identity.
Taizong ordered Gu Huanli's maternal grandfather, Zhao Zhunxing, who was the official residence of the Taifu at that time, to go to Yongxiang to pick up the family and return to the dynasty to recognize each other.
But before Zhao Zhunxing returned to the dynasty, Taizong's condition worsened again, and he had no choice but to leave an edict to establish Gu Chenglin as the new emperor, but he never thought that the queen would privately draft another edict and make his son the emperor.
When Zhao Zhun Xing went to Yongxiang, Gu Chenglin and Gu Huanli's mother Zhao Zhen had both been killed, leaving only the fourteen-year-old Gu Huanli alone and bullied.
Zhao Zhunxing returned to Shengjing City with Gu Huanli, but Taizong had already died, and Emperor Liang Cheng succeeded him as the new emperor.
Taizong's attendant eunuch risked death to send Taizong's handwritten edict to Zhao Zhunxing, but Gu Huanli was still young and had little power at that time, and Zhao Zhunxing knew the queen's means.
Gu Chenglin and his wife finally left this only bloodline, and Zhao Zhunxing really didn't want to push him to Longtan Tiger's Den in order to fight for a throne.
So Zhao Zhunxing kept Gu Huanli by his side, and stayed until he cleared the grievances of the rebellion for Gu Huanli together with the ministers of the court, and it coincided with the death of the queen mother, so he sent Gu Huanli to the court as the orphan of the prince.
Emperor Liang Cheng did not stay on the throne for long before he died of illness, and the new emperor Emperor Liang Qin succeeded to the throne, knowing nothing about the affairs of the previous dynasty, only treating Gu Huanli as a foreign child, and he could not be tolerated in his eyes.
Later, Gu Huanli made great achievements and returned to the government and the opposition as the god of war obtained in person, and Emperor Liang Qin respected him very much, and he also gave him three points of courtesy whenever he disagreed with him.
If it weren't for the fact that he held the imperial power in his own hands, Emperor Liang Qin would probably be able to bow down to the dust in front of Gu Huanli, but as everyone knows, even the only imperial power he can rely on is something that should belong to Gu Huanli.
Listening to Bai Yi talk about the whole thing, Gu Huanli couldn't believe it, what he cared about was not that he suddenly had the identity of a royal descendant, but that Emperor Liang Cheng and others persecuted his parents so much for a throne.
"So they were the ones who killed the king's parents in the first place?" Gu Huanli's eyes were red, and he asked Bai Yi with hatred.
Bai Yi couldn't help sighing: "In the face of power, it is normal for ordinary people to be swayed by ambition, when is the time for retribution, the old man is just not used to seeing today's royal family fighting openly and secretly, and treating innocent people as victims, so he risked his life to return the edict entrusted by Mrs. Zhao to His Royal Highness." ”
"Is this what my grandfather entrusted me? What else did he say? Gu Huanli asked Bai Yi, Zhao Zhunxing had been working hard for him for the rest of his life, and even read his name when he was dying.
Bai Yi responded: "Mrs. Zhao asked the old man to hand over this edict to His Royal Highness when His Royal Highness held heavy power and was enough to compete with the royal family, in order to restore the orthodoxy of the royal family." ”
At present, Emperor Liang Qin is becoming more and more mediocre, but Gu Huanli, who was famous for his murder at the beginning, was gradually praised by the people, and Bai Yi, as the patriarch of the four major clans ordered by Emperor Taizu, has the responsibility to maintain the peace of the world.
But this matter was too sudden for Gu Huanli, and what he wanted more than inheriting the unification was to avenge his parents.
Over the years, although Gu Chenglin's rebellion case has been rehabilitated, Gu Huanli has always felt that this is a secret operation, so he has been using his power to find the person behind it, but he never thought that this person's descendants have always been by his side. Jiuhe Library
Seeing that Gu Huanli's eyes were always filled with anger, Bai Yi sighed helplessly: "The old decay that should be said has been said, His Highness is a wise person, presumably he can distinguish which is more important, and the rest of the matters will be decided by His Highness." ”
After saying that, Bai Yi immediately turned around and left, and Gu Huanli stood in place without saying a word.
Lu Xuan was also shocked after hearing the whole story, but she was an outsider after all, and it was easier for her to be sober than Gu Huanli.
Taking a deep breath, seeing that Gu Huanli had a look on his face that he had never known for so long, Lu Xuan knew that this matter must have hit him hard, so he walked towards him.
"It turns out that His Highness lived in Yongxiang when he was young, and I also went to Yongxiang when I was ten years old, and His Highness should be fourteen years old at that time." Lu Xuan deliberately diverted the topic, wanting to alleviate the sadness in Gu Huanli's heart.
After a pause, Gu Huanli really showed a faint smile on his face: "Really?" You still remember it for so long. ”
Seeing that this method seemed to work, Lu Xuan hurriedly continued Fang Cai's words: "Yes, I still remember that I helped a little brother fight in Yongxiang, I was dressed as a man at the time, and I really scared those bad boys away." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of something else, and then sighed: "Yongxiang was really not peaceful at that time, and I don't know what happened to that little brother and whether he will be bullied by others again." ”
Lu Xuan was thinking about it, but Gu Huanli's faint laughter came from beside him: "No one dares to bully him now, if those bad boys see him again, I'm afraid they will have to take a detour." ”
"How would His Highness know?" Lu Xuan was surprised, but Gu Huanli's eyes kept looking at her with deep meaning, which made her can't help but have an idea in her heart that even she couldn't believe.
After being silent for a while, seeing that Lu Xuan still didn't react, Gu Huanli took the initiative to admit: "Because the dirty little boy you saved back then is this king." ”
"You?" Lu Xuan was shocked, even more shocked when she heard that Gu Huanli was the blood of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Fierce King, who everyone feared, had been rescued by her, what kind of strange news was this.
But Gu Huanli didn't joke, and seeing Lu Xuan's look of disbelief, he continued:
"At that time, the king's parents had just been killed for the crime of rebellion, and the king didn't know kung fu, so he could only be bullied, I thought that everyone would regard this king as the son of a rebel, but I didn't expect you to come out."
"But why wasn't Your Highness surprised at all, did you know that it was me who saved you in the first place?" Lu Xuan was surprised.
Gu Huanli nodded: "This king has always remembered you later, and after returning to Shengjing City, I thought that I would never see each other again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet you again when I was nineteen years old." ”
"Your Highness is nineteen years old, that is, when I am fifteen?" Lu Xuan asked casually, saying that why didn't she know that she had seen Gu Huanli when she was fifteen years old?
Gu Huanli explained: "You were dressed as a daughter at the time, and this king clearly recognized you, but you fraudulently used Lu Qingmeng's name, and later this king sent someone to verify that you were lying." ”
"No wonder His Royal Highness treated me differently from others when he was in Guangyuan Academy, and later he saw my identity at a glance, and it turned out that he was violent at that time." Lu Xuan didn't understand some of the previous things until now.
But she still didn't expect that in the five years that she didn't find her, Gu Huanli thought about her day and night, and even suspected that she had a habit of breaking off the show, and when she saw her again, she found out that she was actually a daughter, and no one could understand the joy in his heart.
All in all, no matter what Lu Xuan's identity is, in Gu Huanli's heart, she has always been different from others.
But speaking of memories, the memories of her teenage years were actually a past life for Lu Xuan, and she often lamented why Shangcang didn't let her meet Gu Huanli earlier, but in fact, they had already met.
But why did they never meet them again after they met in a hurry in their previous life?
Lu Xuan thought to himself, originally thought that he was the only one who was burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he had just finished avenging his family, but Gu Huanli had the same experience.
As a person who has taken revenge, Lu Xuan can deeply understand the feeling of emptiness in her heart at this time, the taste of revenge is not pleasant, she has already tasted it, and she doesn't want Gu Huanli to fall into deep pain.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xuan spoke to Gu Huanli: "The deceased has been wronged, I hope Your Highness can let go of hatred and not become like those people." ”
When Fang Cai first learned about this, Gu Huanli really wanted to rush over and kill Emperor Liang Qin, but when he thought about it, this was just a grievance of the previous generation, how could it be counted on his head?
At this time, when Lu Xuan said this, he had no reason to take revenge, so he finally nodded.
