"How do you know?" Yang Lanshu herself didn't notice it, her voice was trembling slightly.

Shen Tong smiled, poured a glass of water from the teapot on the table and handed it to Yang Lanshu.

Yang Lanshu took it and swallowed it in a big gulp, the cold tea entered her throat, and she felt much more comfortable.

"I have met the descendants of the Shen family and the Mei family, and I have heard from them."

What Shen Tong said was the truth, the reason why she knew that there was such a thing as an edict was related to the Shen family's Mei family.

"I see", Yang Lanshu sighed and said, "Is the woman of the Shen family still alive?" ”

"I guess I'm still alive." Shen Tong said.

Yang Lanshu smiled, her smile was a little mocking: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't know what stupid thing he has done." ”

Shen Tong's heart moved, she guessed that she should be right.

"The emperor didn't know that Taizu had left an edict, and the content of this edict was not good for him?"

Yang Lanshu glanced at Shen Tong and nodded: "You are very smart, you guessed all right." Do you know? For many years, our Yang family has been looking for that edict, not for himself, but for him, but unfortunately, he doesn't know anything, the Yang family is full of beheading, my grandfather is dead, my eldest brother is too busy to take care of himself, not to mention myself, the Yang family will not take care of the edict anymore, and it is powerless to manage it anymore, the women of the Shen family will live well, one day, take out this edict, hehe, hehe. ”

Yang Lanshu kept sneering, and in the silent night, her laughter was like a ghost, gloomy.

After laughing, Yang Lanshu suddenly heard Shen Tong talking.

"Before Emperor Taizu died, he knew that his time was short, and at that time, the crown prince had already gone before him, and this throne should naturally be passed on to his grandson, the current emperor. But the Empress Dowager is still alive, the Yang family is still there, Emperor Taizu knows that the emperor is weak and his grandmother is strong, but for the sake of the stability of the court, he can't kill the Empress Dowager, and he has to use the hand of the Empress Dowager to complete the alternation of imperial power, but he is worried that his grandson is weak and difficult to bear heavy responsibilities when he grows up, so he left a testament so that the imperial power of the Zhou family will not fall into the hands of outsiders? ”

Yang Lanshu glared at Shen Tong in astonishment, and her eyes that were no longer bright were full of disbelief.

"This is also what the people of the Shen family and the Mei family told you?" She asked.

Shen Tong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Did I guess right?" ”

Yang Lanshu exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and nodded reluctantly: "Yes, Emperor Taizu will die, if the emperor dies and the son is young, his eldest son will be crowned the king of the vassal and leave Beijing to become a vassal domain." The fourth son of the emperor, King Zhou Huan of Qin, inherited the throne, if the king of Qin has died, the adult heirs of the king of Qin will inherit the throne, and if there is no successor to the queen of Qin, choose those who have both ability and political integrity from the heirs of King Yan, King Yu and Prince Gui. The Shen family has meritorious service in protecting the edict, and after choosing a woman to be sealed, the mother will honor the world. ”

Although he had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight, Shen Tong did not guess that the matter of the Shen family's female seal was actually written on the edict!

The reason why Emperor Taizu promised to crown the daughter of the Shen family as the queen was because of the Shen family's merit in keeping the edict; Second, it is also because the Shen family is a Shilin family, and Shen Yi is the first assistant, even if there is no edict, the daughter of the Shen family is worthy of the title of queen.

However......

Shen Tong pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, how could Emperor Taizu at that time not know that the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager were all around him, and he asked Shen Yi to take the edict out of the palace, that is, he guessed that after his death, the Empress Dowager would definitely not be able to tolerate the Shen family.

The more this is the case, the more the edict becomes the straw that saves the Shen family's life.

hand over the edict, as an insider, the Empress Dowager will not leave the Shen family, and the Shen family is still dead; Leave a bloodline, endure humiliation and steal life, and maybe one day you can see the light of day again.

As for the position of the queen, who knows how many years or generations later, the Shen family's edict is not for the name of this queen, but the Shen family has been put on fire by Emperor Taizu and has to be desperately preserved.

"Why, can't you believe it?"

Yang Lanshu's mocking voice sounded in his ears, and Shen Tong came to his senses.

She said: "Therefore, the Empress Dowager not only punished the nine clans of the Shen family, but also killed all the eldest sons of King Qin and King Yan. ”

Not only did Shen Tong guess wrong, but even King Qin probably thought so.

Among the four princes, the King of Qin and the King of Yan were the most powerful, and the King of Gui and King Yu were not to be afraid, and the Empress Dowager wanted to cover up the matter of the edict, and did not want people to suspect that she was going to destroy the King of Qin and his descendants, so she found King Gui and King Yu and started to attack.

However, the descendants of the Shen family did not dare to take out the edict casually, Emperor Chongwen lived well, if the King of Qin saw this edict, it would inevitably have the intention of killing the king, once that was the case, the person who was exterminated would only be the person who sent the edict, that is, the Shen family.

The Shen family died in vain with a few hundred people.

Therefore, this edict can only be taken out at the most appropriate time, but it is a pity that Mrs. Shen's Huang family has exhausted all her organs, but she has not escaped a mother-son relationship.

When she was taken away by Tu Wei, Emperor Chongwen had not yet faked his death.

And if she still lived in Xi'an at that time, and had Shen Tong, a daughter who could often go in and out of King Qin's mansion, that edict could be sent to King Qin without much effort.

In that way, the Qin Wangshi is famous, and the Shen family is also loyal.

It's a pity that Huang's thought was wrong and he couldn't wait for that day.

After she was taken away by Tu Wei and Xinyu, I am afraid that she didn't know that the world in the capital had been turned upside down.

However, if King Qin took the edict to Beijing at that time, even if Emperor Chongwen was resurrected, he could only be a fake, and even Xiao Changdun would probably have to deny it.

But now Emperor Chongwen is still alive and has returned to the great treasure.

In the previous life, the Huang family finally handed over the edict to the King of Qin, so Xin Wu became the crown princess and the future queen.

The edict only said that the daughter of the Shen family was the queen, and did not ask to be a concubine, and the adopted daughter with a family tree was also a daughter of the Shen family.

The Shen daughter has no relatives to rely on, and she is no different from an orphan girl.

It can not only show the new emperor's respect for the old ministers, but also prevent the descendants from becoming bigger, repeating the mistakes of the Yang family, and letting the prince marry the daughter of the Shen family, there are all benefits and no disadvantages, as for whether it is a concubine or an adopted daughter, it is the same for the royal family, and the things that can be solved in this generation will not be delayed to the next generation.

"But what if you know this secret, and where are the descendants of the Shen family?" Shen Tong did not tell Yang Lanshu the fact that the Huang family was in the hands of Tu Wei, and she did not have the bad taste of revenge and pleasure for the Yang family.

Yes, if Yang Lanshu knew that the Huang family was taken away by the people of the True Immortal Sect, he didn't know how relieved he would be.

Emperor Taizu, the old fox, did not forget to put one when he was dying.

After decades of husband and wife, he calculated that the Empress Dowager would not let Emperor Chongwen easily govern, and he also calculated that once Emperor Chongwen grew up and was disobedient, the Empress Dowager would have the idea of supporting the young emperor.

In this big drama, it was the Shen family who was sacrificed, and in the end, the throne still fell into the hands of his children and grandchildren.

As for more than ten years later, the person sitting on the dragon chair is the son of Emperor Chongwen or the king of Qin, for Emperor Taizu, it is the same in front of Jiangshan Sheji.
