Chapter 847: The Legend of Yan Ying
Chenguang glanced at Gu Pan's hand that fell on the back of his hand, and said with a smile:
"Queen Mother, okay, why do you say this?"
"Lord Feng doesn't know. There was a sentence before, Lord Feng was really right, it was not his ancestors who squandered the country, no matter how much he squandered it, a person with a different surname is a person with a different surname, not to mention, Yan Ying is not only a person with a different surname, he is also a person of a different race. ”
"Aliens?" The morning light was slightly stunned.
Gu Pan nodded, closed her eyes heavily, and sighed softly:
"The Yan family is a person of a different race, this is a secret that only a few people in the Cangqiu country know."
Chenguang frowned, and laughed in a low voice: "I don't understand what the Queen Mother said, isn't Prince Yan from Cangqiu?" Prince Yan's ancestors have been living in Cangqiu Country, and the ancestors of the Yan family are still important ministers of Cangqiu Country, even if Prince Yan has not lived in Cangqiu Country for a long time, but his ancestral home is Cangqiu Country, how can he be a foreigner? ”
Gu Pan was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Have you ever heard of what the Yan family angered the first emperor when Yan Ying was a teenager?" ”
"I really haven't heard of this, I only heard that the Yan family was beheaded all over the house because they angered the emperor, so it seems that they must have committed some terrible felony."
Gu Pan didn't care if she really hadn't heard of it or pretended not to have heard of it, and then she said:
"There is nothing wrong with a felony, the sin committed by the Yan family is an unforgivable sin, and the Yan family is treason."
Chenguang was taken aback and repeated, "Treason? ”
Gu Pan nodded: "That time is probably the most serious treason case in the history of Cangqiu Country, in the past, all young children could save their lives, but the Yan family's case was full of beheadings, and even the baby in swaddling clothes was executed." The Yan family was wiped out, and Yan Ying was able to survive, and it took all the strength of the whole clan to protect him. The big case that could provoke the anger of the first emperor and even the young children could not let go was the first time after the first emperor ascended the throne. Doesn't Lord Feng feel strange, what kind of major event can make the first emperor so angry, what kind of major event can make the Yan family, who is in the midst of holy grace, suddenly fall and be wiped out? ”
Chenguang didn't think it was strange, but she didn't understand why Gu Pan felt strange, the crime of treason should have been wiped out by the whole clan to set an example, and at the same time cut the grass to eradicate future troubles, even if the infant was young, but since he had a surname, he had to bear the responsibility brought by the family name, there was nothing "innocent" or "not innocent". If you want a minister to die, you have to die, if you don't want to die passively, you can be a king or not a minister, and if you can't be a king, you can only be a minister, and you have to understand that your life is pinched in your hands, but Gu Pan is trying his best to make Chenguang feel strange, so as to arouse a strong curiosity.
Chenguang didn't say anything, which made Gu Pan a little disappointed, and she continued with the previous words:
"If it is just a matter of interests driving fornication with the enemy, the case of the Yan family is not special, and if it is using the power in his hands to recruit troops and buy horses with the intention of usurping the throne, this case is not special. For the Yan family, it is impossible to recruit troops and horses, because although the Yan family is a military general, but in the generation of Yan Ying's grandfather, the Yan family has no military power in their hands, and the Yan family is recognized as incorruptible, even if they secretly want to recruit troops and horses, they do not have the financial resources. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Pan deliberately paused, wanting to arouse Chenguang's curiosity.
Chenguang really asked: "What does the Queen Mother mean is that the Yan family neither recruited troops nor fornicated with the enemy country back then, could it be that the first emperor misunderstood the Yan family?" ”
Gu Pan didn't expect her to come to such a conclusion, a touch of disgust and disdain flashed in her eyes, and she wondered if she was really as smart as the legend?
"It's not a misunderstanding or an unjust, false and wrongful case, the Yan family has no fornication with the enemy country, and there is indeed no obvious trace of recruitment, but the Yan family has a group of private troops in the civilian community to work for the Yan family, and the first emperor can't find out the origin of this group of private troops, so he believes that the Yan family is a person of a different race, and it is a meticulous work lurking in the Cangqiu country. But because the Yan family is also a century-old scholar clan in Cangqiu Country, it is unknown which country the Yan family's mother country is, so the first emperor was furious and slaughtered all the Yan family, even the most distant collateral relatives were not spared. ”
Private Army......
The morning light fell silent.
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Pan paused, and continued: "Yan Ying, he had a father and a brother back then, but Lord Feng knew that there were so many people in the Yan family, why did his grandfather do his best to save his life, not his brother?" ”
"Because he was young at the time, he wouldn't be too conspicuous on the way to escape?"
Gu Pan shook his head: "Although Yan Ying has a brother, and his brother is also talented, but since Yan Ying was born, Yan Ying's grandfather obviously began to cultivate Yan Ying as the head of the Yan family, and he has never wavered. ”
Whether it is the royal family or the scholar clan, there will be a person in charge, the person in the royal family is naturally the emperor who inherits the unification, and the person in the scholar clan who holds the authority of the clan on behalf of the family is the head of the clan. Whether it is the royal family or the scholars, they attach great importance to the eldest son, first of all, the second or the eldest or the elder, unless the eldest son is particularly unsuccessful, no one will throw the responsibility of the head of the family to the younger son. Yan Ying is the youngest son in the Yan family, and there is a lot of age difference between him and his eldest brother, and Yan Ying said that his brother is a very powerful person, if Yan Ying's grandfather really cultivates Yan Ying as the head of the family, this behavior is indeed a bit strange.
"I heard that when Yan Ying was born, it was obviously night, but the room was full of light, no less than day, and the next day a Taoist came along the heavens, predicting that this son was 'the most noble appearance, not the spirit of a human minister', and he would definitely become the overlord of the world in the future. Lord Yan believed it and loved Yan Ying in every way from then on. ”
What she said was amazing, Chenguang thought to herself how she knew, she was about the same age as Yan Ying, and she was not in the delivery room when Yan Ying was born, and if it was really an auspicious omen of the Supreme Ninety-Five, with the identity of the Yan family at that time, even if she killed a few people, she had to suppress this matter, and she was not impatient.
However, she didn't ask how Gu Pan knew, anyway, when she asked, there would always be an answer similar to "There is no impermeable wall in the world".
"Is that so......" she said slowly, as if absent-minded.
"Lord Feng, Yan Ying's hands do have a group of private troops hidden in the people, I have seen it." Gu Pan said in a solemn tone.
Chenguang frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered.
"The Queen Mother means ......"
"It has been too long since the Yan family was wiped out, and many details have been impossible to trace, but one thing can be determined, that is, the first emperor did not wronged the Yan family, and the Yan family did have a group of private troops of unknown origin, they are not Cangqiu people, to be exact, not all of them are Cangqiu people, these people are under the command of the Yan family, as for where these private armies came from and what the purpose of the group is, it is unknown."
