Indeed, the man wants rebellion, and he wants power. But what he wants most is probably to make the royal family want to make the officials in the capital who have the skills of the dragon lose face and be ridiculed by the world.

That person must have experienced an experience that he had not had when he was in a high position, and then he lost face or his dignity was trampled on. Therefore, now that he has the power in his hands that is enough to shake the imperial court, every thing he wants to do close to the center of the throne and power will always hope to tear off the face of today.

Xu Chu's eyes sank slightly, the tip of the pen paused slightly, and then continued to analyze on the codex.

And in Jinzhou City, or the bureau laid out by the person on this road, there are also post-moves such as the end of the case between Zhang Yuanheng and Zhang, which undoubtedly shows his scorn for the friendship between sentient beings and people. When he thought of why this was so, Xu Chu inevitably thought of the original mother Sun Rou who was removed from the family, and Wang Yun who was killed......

In the case of Jinling back then, although it was a tantric act, it was Jinlingwei who directly rebelled on the surface before being pushed to the imperial court in the end.

According to the forbearance and scheming of King Su's lineage, if Jin Lingwei was really their force, how could they give up so easily? After all, in that situation, if it is not the British Duke who goes to crusade, or if someone else is with the army to investigate the case, perhaps the plan of the Su Wang's line will be easily exposed.

At the time of the Holy Grandfather, King Su's power was still strong. But after the first emperor ascended the throne, he completely hollowed out the power of King Su, and according to the mind of the first emperor, he would definitely keep a close eye on King Su.

In this way, it really doesn't make sense for that person to suddenly expose Jin Lingwei.

Unless......

Xu Chu pursed his lips and drew a few question marks between the mastermind behind the scenes, Sun Rou and Wang Yun with difficulty.

Her codex has recorded most of the thick books, most of which are the suspicions and clues listed when tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes. Now, more than a year has passed, and the cases that are implicated in the people behind the scenes have been solved one by one, so that the clues have accumulated more and more, and even those puzzling places have been revealed.

However, because this matter was implicated in the affairs of the Holy Grandfather, the years have passed, and the files of the Three Law Divisions cannot be verified. And it also involves the land of Jinling, and it is difficult for her to go and check some speculations. Therefore, sometimes she has speculation, but she does not dare to make conclusions easily.

Xiao Qinglang looked at it obliquely, he already had excellent eyesight, so it was naturally not difficult to see the marks that made Xu Chu frown through the faint candle flame.

"Regarding the lineage of the Sun family and Sun Rou and King Su, this king has already sent someone to investigate." Xiao Qinglang's expression had already changed from his previous solemnity to his usual indifferent appearance. His eyes were on the four words behind the scenes for a long time, and then he took the pen and codex in Xu Chu's hand and said, "When King Su left Beijing, he was accompanied by two sons and a daughter, as well as a grandson who was less than three years old. It's just that these people died of illness one after another on the way to the fiefdom. The eldest son was sixteen years old at the time, but he was quite aristocratic and was admired by the prince. His temperament is mild, his talent is quick, and most of his articles are elegant. What's even more difficult is that even though he is talented, he is very studious. In addition, he is also very concerned about the upbringing of his son-in-law, the royal heir is already precocious, and as the only grandson of the Holy Grandfather at that time, he also pinned the expectations of the entire Su Wangfu, so the child was extremely calm at a young age, and he was quite a natural wise man. And King Su's second son, who is only ten years old, is also an outstanding person of the Son of Heaven, but compared to his brother, he is much more arrogant, but he is also a rare talent. And it is precisely because these two people are often praised by the Holy Grandfather, and they are also rare plastic talents, that they will attract many courtiers for the King of Su at that time. After all, such a character is enough to become a bargaining chip on the road to succession. ”

"I haven't met these two people, but I've heard about this person from the prince's wife, and even every time I talk about him, the prince will feel sorry."

Su Wangfu, a lost dog who was defeated on the road to the heir, logically speaking, will definitely be a thorn in the emperor's side. Therefore, as long as it is an official with a little brains, he will not mention them in a grand manner, let alone praise them. And those who can be praised by Taifu himself must be really excellent characters.

The lights in the carriage flickered, and the lights were bright and dim, and they were halos in the night.

A faint light shrouded Xiao Qinglang's body, dim but inexplicably soft.

However, the things he said that were not recorded made Xu Chu feel cold all over his body.

Her eyes trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of heaviness: "Cutting grass and eradicating roots again?" ”

Xiao Qinglang didn't answer this question, but that attitude was enough to tacitly agree with Xu Chu's conjecture. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the change of imperial power, even if there are rules for establishing heirs and establishing long-term succession like the Great Zhou, and in order to allow the crown prince to inherit the unification smoothly and avoid fratricide, the dynasty that often deliberately suppresses the power of other princes cannot be avoided.

Xu Chu pursed his lips, but he didn't notice that his palms were gradually clenching, and a layer of cold sweat soaked out at some point.

She licked her somewhat dry lower lip, and asked in a trance: "Then at that time, did King Su still have someone to inherit later?" ”

Since then, I have not heard of the birth of an heir in King Su's mansion, and for this matter, King Su will often go everywhere to find secret recipes for children even though he is old. Even when he was over seventy years old, he also asked people to find many so-called miracle doctors in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that he has quite a lot of means in terms of self-cultivation. However, this incident once became a joke in the capital. ”

Thirty years ago, when he was dying, he suddenly mentioned that when he first arrived in Jinling, he had a spring breeze with a servant girl in Sun's house, but he didn't know if the servant girl was pregnant with an heir. At that time, the people of King Su's Mansion only thought that he was looking forward to the devil, but because of his orders, they had to send someone to Sun's house to find out. ”

"I went, but I really made a discovery."

"There is a middle-aged man in the Sun Mansion, who is the housekeeper of the house, and he actually has the personal jade plate of King Su in his hand. King Su, who will soon die, was overjoyed and immediately reported to the emperor. It is a matter of royal bloodline, even though the Su Wang lineage has long been excluded from the center of power, it is undeniable that it is the bloodline of the Xiao family's royal family. Later, the first emperor sent someone to investigate in detail, and confirmed that the person was indeed the son of King Su by dripping blood to recognize his relatives. ”

Later, I learned that after her mother was pregnant, she was worried that it would be King Su's heir who would cause trouble, so she hid the matter. Later, his mother asked for the grace of the Sun family's housewife, went to Zhuangzi to be a mother-in-law, and secretly gave birth to him. ”

It wasn't until ten years later that the old man of the Sun family went to Zhuangzi for summer vacation and found that he had a very strong memory, so he brought him back to Sun's mansion to be educated. After that, he stayed in the Sun family until Sun Ruan Ruan's accident, and the Sun family gradually declined without a successor...... And it was before his mother died that he learned a lot of truths......"

At that time, he was over forty years old, and he thought that he could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so that after his death, his body could have a place to be buried in the earth. Therefore, after learning that someone in King Su's Mansion went to Sun's house to look for him, he took out the jade plate and recognized King Su.

Later, after the death of King Su, this person inherited the throne as the new King Su. And when he was in the Sun family, he had already married and gave birth to a son, so the young man naturally became the son of King Su.

When Xu Chu heard this, the stagnation in his eyes dissipated, and a bright light suddenly opened in his mind.

That person was found after the first emperor came to power, and he should have been more than eighty years old by now. If you compare it carefully, the age is almost the same as that of the second son of King Su.

Then there is the grandson of King Su, the child who is less than three years old but makes Xiao Qinglang particularly emphasized. Counting, the age should be almost the same as that of the first emperor......

The more she thought about it, the clearer her heart became. If King Su took advantage of the chaos to preserve his strength at that time, and leaving the capital was only an expedient measure, then as the prince who almost pulled Emperor Chengzong off the crown prince, how could he not have the slightest scheming and means, so that his proud son and grandson were killed?

Xu Chu's mind kept flashing all kinds of conjectures, and finally they all stopped on the corpse of Sun Rou that he had uncovered and examined. Perhaps, the truth about his life experience, as well as the death of Sun Rou, who is suspected of being his mother, is about to surface.

After a while, Xu Chu suddenly sat up straight, looked at Xiao Qinglang with burning eyes and said, "Lord Wang, I once heard the rumor that King Su is willing to return to Beijing to worship his ancestors in his lifetime, and at the same time, he must fulfill the last wish of the old King Su to guard the spirit of the first emperor for a few months?" ”

Xiao Qinglang hooked his lips and chuckled, and said meaningfully: "Not only to worship the first emperor, but also to bring the prince of Su Wang and those sons and nephews who went out of Beijing with him back to the capital, saying that he wants them to honor the queen mother during the queen mother's thousand autumn banquet." ”

Xu Chu ignored the curvature of Xiao Qinglang's sneering, and didn't care about King Su's true purpose, she just frowned and asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Xiao Qinglang nodded her head and sneered: "An old man over eighty years old, tearfully begging to worship his ancestors in his lifetime, even if he is the emperor, he can't refuse with a hard heart. After all, in the eyes of the world, King Su is no longer a threat. It's just that even if he is allowed to return to Beijing this time, it is limited to him and the prince of Su, and the rest of the sons and nephews of King Su have no possibility of returning to Beijing to recover. ”

Xu Chu bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask, "When will King Su and his party arrive in the capital?" If we arrive, according to the king, can we find the king of Su and his son to ask questions? ”

"Even though King Su has long lost power, he is also a royal bloodline after all, and since the prince of King Su has inherited the throne of the prince, it naturally means that his identity is recognized by the court and the royal family. And the line of King Su can be regarded as a sensitive existence in itself, after all, the elders of the three dynasties still exist, and no one knows if there are still his supporters in it. Moreover, King Su is still the only person who has been expelled from the capital since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty because of his defeat with the crown prince. In addition, the Queen Mother's Qianqiu banquet is imminent, and many courtiers from vassal countries will come to offer birthday gifts. At this time, it is not suitable to produce branches. Therefore, if there are no incidents and suspicions involving the case, the three law divisions really can't go to interrogate in a grand manner. ”

When Xu Chu heard this, a trace of disappointment couldn't help but flash in his eyes. If she couldn't ask, then she wouldn't be able to learn more from the son who had lived in the Sun family for many years. Even, she still doesn't know anything about Sun Rou.

Xiao Qinglang saw that her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and then said helplessly: "Although I can't ask, how can I say that the prince of Su Wang can be regarded as my uncle, and I, as a junior, have to come to visit." As for whether they will have a good conversation, and then stay a little longer, or find a time to entertain the prince of Su, it is difficult to say. ”

In other words, at least they can talk to the prince of Nasu. As for what to say and how to say it, it depends on Xiao Qinglang.

Xu Chu saw Xiao Qinglang raising his eyebrows and looking at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile, patted his head and said, "I found that since I entered the Three Law Divisions, my brain seems to be locked by shackles. Now it's even more rusty, and I have forgotten the truth of saving the country by curves, and I have forgotten that the prince is the best at deceiving people......"

After solving a matter of concern, Xu Chu's mood eased a little. She snorted her mouth a little teasingly, and she almost hung a cunning sign for Xiao Qinglang.

The night was silent, and the carriage moved slowly, gradually driving away from the gloomy and lonely cemetery just now.

It took nearly half an hour for the carriage to come to a slow stop. Then, the coachman dressed in black said in a low voice: "Lord, you have reached the edge of the imperial tomb." Now is the time for the change of guards, so only the center of the Imperial Tomb is guarded. In the past, no one would patrol the burial place of the governor. ”
