Chapter 409: Secret

Zhou Hexi didn't doubt the authenticity of the news delivered by Xie Chengyu, but she didn't understand why Empress Dowager Li wanted to take in the daughter of the rebel. Rebellion, but anyone with a little brain can't avoid it, that one is good, and he is in a hurry to take over. What's more, the county lord of Minghui wants to have no brains, and if she wants power or power, what does Empress Dowager Li want her?

With this question, the Xiliang delegation entered Beijing.

The people who went to meet them outside the city were much the same as last year. Xie Chengyu rushed to inform the Xiliang delegation lineup with great interest, saying how huge the delegation lineup led by Prime Minister Babuzan was, how magnificent Princess Nansheng's carriage was, and how many rare tributes Xiliang brought to Da Zhou.

These are all things that everyone has known for a long time, and Zhou Hexi is not much interested, but Xie Chengyu said that knowing is one thing, and seeing it with one's own eyes is another. It was a pity that she didn't even go to see the excitement of Zhou Hexi.

"You can also see the envoy when it enters the city, so why bother to go out of the city to see?" Zhou Hexi peeled a kumquat and handed it to Xie Chengyu, and said in a low voice: "There is something, I have long wanted to ask you, Empress Dowager Li, why did you take in Lord Minghui?" ”

Last time, when she asked, Xie Chengyu left without finishing speaking, and a certain woman was unwilling. It's not that she is troublesome, since she got close to the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Li regarded her as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and when she entered the palace, she actually gave her laxatives absurdly...... Such despicable methods, coupled with the captivity incident on the Shangyuan Festival, made Zhou Hexi feel uneasy.

Therefore, everything related to Empress Dowager Li, she must think clearly.

Xie Chengyu swallowed half an orange in one bite, called it sweet, his eyes dodged twice, and then he lowered his voice and said: "It's okay to tell you, but you must keep it secret, Empress Dowager Li and King Shou, ahem, what kind of relationship is it......"

That kind of relationship? Zhou Hexi's mind was at a loss, and he suddenly ...... in the frequent blink of Xie Chengyu Momentarily contaminated.

"What do you think, the two of them are getting along, King Shou has no children under his knees, only one daughter, the only bloodline, for the sake of the old love, she will definitely protect it."

Zhou Hexi was still condensed.

After a while, he asked, "Does Your Majesty know about this?" ”

"I don't know...... Or pretend not to know, hey, Your Majesty really doesn't have a position to know about this kind of thing. ”

Zhou Hexi fully understands Xie Chengyu's context, such a scandal, it's too late to cover it up, as a filial son, how can Emperor Yongchang, who is a filial son, take the initiative to bump into it, and only by pretending to be stupid can he continue to get along with his adoptive mother.

"Your Majesty is a man of great affection." Xie Chengyu added.

Zhou Hexi did not deny this, Xie Chengyu sighed and said: "If it weren't for the palace change, the Queen Mother's behavior was too chilling, and Your Majesty would not have cut off the past...... And Minghui's matter crushed the last straw in His Majesty's heart. In fact, not only can't you figure it out, but I also don't understand, the county lord who finally picked up a life didn't hold his tail in private, and actually raised his face in a grand manner, which was really ......" speechless.

Xie Chengyu could not comment.

"Chengyu, have you ever thought about another question, why does Lord Minghui raise his face under such conditions? Where did those men come from? ”

Xie Chengyu was stunned.

She patronized disgusting disdain, and hadn't thought about it yet.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is very good to speculate that whoever takes her in is who gave the noodles, otherwise it is a problem for the lord of Minghui to eat and drink, and where is the condition to raise the noodles?

Therefore, Empress Dowager Li's thinking is incomprehensible. Zhou Hexi and Xie Chengyu glanced at each other, and the two of them came to this conclusion together.

However, while speaking, Xie Chengyu mentioned another thing, "You just know that the scandal is exposed to the world, do you know who exposed it?" ”

Zhou Hexi guessed this, but he didn't dare to be sure. The only thing I dare to say is that there is the handwriting of the eldest princess in it.

"That's right, there is the handiwork of the eldest princess, but at the beginning, it was the hand of Princess Longyu. She has always believed that the fish that slipped through the net is a hidden danger, and after doing everything possible to search, she finally found a flaw in the Queen Mother......"

"Wait, after the palace change, didn't Your Majesty send the forbidden army to search for the traces of Lord Minghui and finally find her body...... Oh, you mean, Princess Longyu didn't believe it at all, and she didn't give up looking for it in private? ”

Xie Chengyu nodded, "So, when she found out where Lord Minghui was hiding and saw Lord Minghui defiling the royal family, she immediately put them to death, in her original plan, was to set fire to destroy the corpse, but she never expected that a few thieves would come, alarming the forbidden army, and finally attracting the eldest princess......"

"Then, the eldest princess, she ......"

"Naturally, she is a yellow finch, she hates Empress Dowager Li to the core, how can she let go of such an opportunity to suppress her?"

"But, in this way, the royal family will be disgraced......"

"Right in her arms, the royal shame is the last thing Princess Longyu wants to see, Princess Longyu is afraid, and the eldest princess is naturally happy to act."

"Why is that?" Could it be that there is also hatred between these two people?

"Do you know King Chung?"

"Nature knows. The younger brother of the eldest princess and the younger brother of His Royal Highness King Sheng. ”

"I don't know, I think that King Zhong died that year, and those who think they know know that he has been taking longevity pills for a long time and died of poison in Xihua Palace, but in fact, it is not. King Zhong was poisoned by the sobering soup served by Princess Longyu......"

"Why is that?"

"In the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor, he went south to inspect Wu, and the Empress Dowager Li, who was still a concubine of Xiang at that time, thought that she was unrestrained, and summoned King Zhong in Xihua Palace.

Zhou Hexi covered his mouth in shock, it was difficult to describe his mood at this time.

"Princess Longyu got the letter and immediately rushed to Xihua Palace secretly, but Empress Dowager Li was more well-informed and got out in time, so King Zhong was not so lucky...... The filthy scene made Princess Longyu angry, although the Empress Dowager Li had escaped, but she had already determined the fact that the two had fornicated in her heart, and after weighing, she poisoned King Zhong, and then, faked the scene, and the news of King Zhong's violent death came out like this. ”

Zhou Hexi looked confused, Xie Chengyu sneered and explained: "Actually, there is nothing incomprehensible about this, Princess Longyu is favored by Taizong and respected by the first emperor, after the first emperor succeeds to the throne, she can not only ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but also can travel unhindered in the harem. And she, to boast of the importance of state affairs, the overall situation, if the matter of Xiang Guifei and King Zhong at that time spread, neither the royal family nor the former emperor who was still on the southern tour could bear it, and the result was naturally to break the loyal king and the Xiang concubine...... However, Concubine Xiang used the method of pregnancy to get out, even if she had a miscarriage in the end, it did not shake her status in the harem. Therefore, although Princess Longyu repeatedly attacked, she failed to pull down Concubine Xiang. ”

"Later, the first emperor died, the three princes succeeded to the throne, Xiang Guifei, as the adoptive mother of the three princes, was promoted to the queen mother, and Princess Longyu had no chance to get rid of it."

I really didn't expect that there would be such a grudge between the eldest princess and Princess Longyu. And Empress Dowager Li and King Zhong are so entangled, incomprehensible entanglements......

No wonder, the eldest princess hates Empress Dowager Li to the core.

"Now, you understand the eldest princess's intentions, right?"

"......" Zhou Hexi nodded and said calmly: "Understand is understand, but you don't understand, how do you know these secret things?" ”

There is no doubt that General Xie has a deep Sacred Heart, and he will definitely know some things that others will not easily know, but what Xie Chengyu said just now is too amazing, and from the perspective of time span, there are some things that His Majesty may not be clear about today, how can Xie Jin know? Not to mention his daughter Xie Chengyu.
