The investigation of the specific inside story was stranded due to the sudden attack of the Holy Grandfather against King Su and the sudden death of the Holy Grandfather. ”

"Because the whole mansion of Xiangyang Hou has no living mouth, and the pregnant princess has a fetal gas due to excessive sadness, and once had symptoms of fetal instability. On the other side, the prince and the ministers of the court, who have always been obedient, also knelt down in front of the holy grandfather for this reason and begged him to severely punish the masterminds behind the scenes. ”

"In this way, the Holy Ancestor who is dying in this way, it is impossible for King Su to stay in front of the bed to see him off."

"I secretly speculated that it was probably because the Holy Ancestor couldn't bear to see King Su's head in a different place, and he knew that he couldn't leave him in the capital anymore, and he didn't want the prince to kill each other with King Su and leave a reputation as a mortal brother, so he preemptively reprimanded King Su and directly demoted him to Yingtian. At that time, the whole palace of King Su was Ying Tian, who went as a sinner, although he still had the identity of a prince, he was not valued. ”

"People in the world often praise red and white, and King Su's mansion has tasted all the difficulties. One is that when the Holy Grandfather was furious, he did not give King Su any chance to meet and present his feelings, and he demoted people to Yingtian, and he abandoned this son with a full attitude. Second, officials in Yingtian and other places all knew that the Su Wangfu had plotted to kill the unborn imperial grandson in the prince's mansion, and even colluded with the northern Xinjiang for the throne to mutilate the entire family of the Xiangyang Marquis, the princess's mother's family, so the officials concluded that the Su Wang's lineage would not be able to recover. I'm afraid that not only will it not come back, but if he can save his life, it can be regarded as the prince's benevolence. Third, at that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty and Northern Xinjiang fought against each other all year round, so people from the northwest were very disgusted with those who colluded with Northern Xinjiang. Naturally, the people of Yingtian will not like people who betray their country and abandon their ancestors, so their life in Yingtian cannot be said to be criticized and rejected by thousands of people......"

"It's just that in this case, when the Holy Grandfather died, he had a return to the world, after all, it was his own bloodline, even if he was angry in his heart, he would not really turn a deaf ear. Therefore, the Holy Grandfather explained to Emperor Chengzong, and after ascending the throne, he turned the Jinling area into a fief of King Su, but he was not allowed to raise private soldiers and participate in the political and military power of the fiefdom...... It can be said that it is just a soft-hearted let him be an idle prince in name only in that rich land. ”

The first part was compiled by Xiao Qinglang from scattered records when he was looking through the files and minutes of the ministers of the inner court. And this last point was trumpeted by Emperor Chengzong when he first ascended the throne in order to show his benevolence.

If it weren't for Xiao Qinglang's clues found in some inconspicuous dossiers and the trivial feelings of those documents, he would have completely believed the praise of Emperor Chengzong in the history books.

Xu Chu's fingers moved, and he felt a cold wind rushing into his cloak, so he shrunk his head and sighed: "I originally thought that the first emperor's dying will was to protect the bloodline of the Dong family, where did I learn it. Now it seems that it has probably been passed down by the Holy Grandfather......"

Xiao Qinglang, who was originally condensed and solemn, after hearing her such ambiguous and abrupt words, glanced at her angrily, reached out and knocked her head and said, "It's presumptuous again." ”

Xu Chu was not afraid of him, so he raised his eyebrows directly, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

Xiao Qinglang rubbed her cheeks helplessly, leaned back on the chair with a sigh of relief, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

That attitude, how perfunctory and perfunctory it was, provoked Xu Chu to roll his eyes at him.

Although the atmosphere is no longer condensed, it is not relaxed either.

Xu Chu touched the codex he was carrying, took a pen and drew on it: "This can be matched." What happened to King Su is very similar to my conclusion about the mastermind behind the scenes, if nothing goes wrong, the person we have been tracking down is from King Su's mansion. ”

When she said this, she squinted, "When King Su first arrived in Jinling, did anything happen?" ”

Xiao Qinglang shook his head and said, "Those have no files to check, but imagine that although they have kept their glory, they have no power and no royal protection. Even, it is very likely that Emperor Chengzong will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, so how can life go smoothly? ”

Even though Emperor Chengzong is regarded by the world as a wise monarch with a benevolent and kind temperament, in fact, he can be the crown prince who has not appeared for more than ten years, how can a person who sits on the throne be a simple person?

But if an emperor, no matter what his reputation, wants to control the world, his means cannot be just mild. Don't talk about the means, just say that he wants to sit on the throne, I don't know what kind of ruthless means he has developed after experiencing geometric bloody storms.

And how could such an emperor allow a tiger to sleep on the fall? Even if you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, you need to suppress people and no longer have hope in your heart.

Xu Chu nodded, very much in recognition of Xiao Qinglang's words.

She thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Since Emperor Chengzong is so fond and loving to the Empress Gongshun, and Empress Gongshun treats Xiao Heng as a parent, why did he suddenly throw the young Xiao Heng to the frontier?" ”

If you talk about tempering, it is too far-fetched.

Xiao Qinglang's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and said meaningfully: "What does Xiao Chu think? ”

Xu Chu's expression paused, and he sighed and said: "Xiao Heng is the heir of the side branch of the old British prince Xiao Rongxiong's family, according to the file that the prince once gave me, that side branch can already be regarded as a few clothes of the Xiao family, and it is not even a down-and-out family who can talk to the Xiao family." How could such a family give birth to a son who looks so similar to the first emperor by such a coincidence? ”

"And the death of the Marquis of Xiangyang, is it really the hand of King Su? At that time, King Su was in a situation, not to mention being stared at, he must have been watched very closely by the eyes of the Holy Grandfather and Emperor Chengzong. In that case, how could he contact the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court, and how could he know the whereabouts of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and be able to kill everyone around him without the Marquis of Xiangyang being defenseless! ”

"According to common sense, King Su made a move against the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang, so he and the Marquis of Xiangyang should be regarded as having a great enmity. When the Marquis of Xiangyang saw him, how could he not be vigilant. In addition, most of the guards who followed the Marquis of Xiangyang, except for Xiao Zihang, were soldiers who came down from the battlefield, how could they be powerless against the barbarians in the upper northern Xinjiang, and then the whole army was wiped out? ”

Therefore, the most likely thing is that the mastermind behind the killing of the Marquis of Xiangyang was not King Su.

"Lord Wang...... This time, we really dug a pit for ourselves, and if we were a little careless, you and I, even Brother Wei and others, would be buried. ”

Xu Chu took a deep breath, but there was no initial apprehension and panic on his face, but there was a kind of casualness that came and went. She whispered, "Sometimes the least likely thing is often the truth." ”

Xiao Qinglang bowed his head, looked at Xu Chu, who looked a little sluggish, and said with a smile: "Well, this is reasonable." ”

In this way, the death of the Marquis of Xiangyang is likely to be the handiwork of Emperor Chengzong, who is the crown prince, and Empress Gongshun, who is the crown princess. As for the reason...... In addition to blaming the king of Su, it is very likely that he wants to kill people and destroy his mouth......"

When Xu Chu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little chill all over his body. She was not afraid, but cold. If it is really what she and Xiao Qinglang speculated, then it would be ironic for Empress Gongshun to return this model of motherhood to the world.

"Emperor Chengzong has not been pregnant for more than ten years after marriage, and when the crown prince's position was shaky, there was news that the crown princess was pregnant. However, when he is over thirty years old and has his first child, not only is he not cautious everywhere in the East Palace, but he can also let officials and women collide at will, which is really incredible. ”

"And the crown princess was pregnant for the second time, so she caught up with the killing of the Marquis of Xiangyang, which caused her to have fetal gas and almost had a miscarriage."

"Xiao Chu has thought about it, if the crown princess really had a miscarriage at that time, what would be the consequences?"

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, and when he saw his casual expression, he knew that he had already figured it out in his heart.

She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "At that time, when the Holy Grandfather was dying, if he was obedient to the queen's miscarriage, it would be an unlucky omen, and it would be easy for people to mention that the prince was punished by God because of his virtue. The second is that her position as the crown princess, and even the position of the queen in the future, I am afraid that it will be shaken. ”

Therefore, after she became pregnant and was named queen, she lived in Changli Palace. It wasn't until after the production that it moved into Fengqi Palace. At the beginning of his stay in Fengqi Palace, Wang Yangming was also bothered to be driven by her, until the two parted ways soon after......"

Xiao Qinglang hooked his lips slightly, looked at Xu Chu, who was deep in thought and reasoning, and showed a slight smile on his face.

"Yes, the question now is, what is the relationship between the first emperor and the British Duke Xiao Heng. What is the inside story of the death of the Marquis of Xiangyang and the old British duke. and Queen Gongshun and Wang Yangming, why are they estranged. ”

That conclusion and speculation were on his lips, but Xu Chu didn't dare to say it easily. On the contrary, it was Xiao Qinglang, with an uncertain expression, who seemed to be indifferent and said: "The only explanation is that the British Duke Xiao Heng and the first emperor are likely to be brothers." And Wang Yangming is resentful of the Queen Gongshun for killing his wife, children and beloved daughter because of her silence! ”

"And the first emperor did not call the British prince Xiao Heng back to Beijing for many years, but he called him back at the beginning of the forty-fourth year of Xuanwen's draft, but I am afraid that the reason is similar to that of Emperor Chengzong......" Xiao Qinglang leaned on the back of the chair, his eyelids slightly drooped to cover the heavy color of his eyes, and said slowly, "If the first emperor is seriously injured in the thirty-six years, he falls into a hidden disease and makes it inhumane again." So ......"

Then, in order to suppress the rumors, and in order to prevent King Su from taking the opportunity to make trouble, maybe he will also take risks. After all, compared to being exposed as not the parent-child and infertility of Emperor Chengzong and Empress Shunde, and then endangering the consequences of the throne, it is much less risky to find a substitute for the imperial doctor to see a doctor, or even to conceive a baby.

If this is the case, then the elixir in the secret path is still the fact that the Xuanyang Dao people were born in the thirty-sixth year of the first emperor, and there is probably an explanation.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu glanced at each other, silent. All the truth, and the unknown secrets hidden under the truth, suddenly became clear after the clouds and doubts dispersed, as if they were close at hand, and only the last layer of window paper needed to be uncovered to be completely revealed.

It's just that the kind of truth they vaguely guess seems extremely absurd and ridiculous, but it makes them feel depressed......
