Chapter 169: Your circle is really messy
"I've seen the princess!" the eunuch of Annan saluted the middle-aged woman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Youlan also greeted Chen Youlan quite coldly: "I've seen my aunt!"
"Auntie...... Aunt ...... Zhang Tong almost fainted on the spot.
The eunuch called this middle-aged woman "princess", which should be the wife of Chen Youlan's biological father Chen Shoudu, that is, the princess of the regent back then. And although Chen Youlan said that she is a concubine, but for her father's wife, she should also be called "mother", even if she takes a step back and her feelings are not deep, she should be called an aunt, and even if she takes a step back, she should be like a stranger!
But Chen Youlan's title is actually "aunt", which is simply incomprehensible. Aunt should refer to her father's sisters, how does Chen Youlan call her "mother-in-law" her aunt?
Seeing Zhang Tong's surprised face, the middle-aged women were also a little embarrassed, and just said: "Youlan, you're back, you haven't come back for so many years, and now that you're back, I'll arrange a family banquet immediately." ”
Chen Youlan's face was very cold, and she directly pulled Zhang Tong and walked in. Zhang Tong kept looking at Chen Youlan and the middle-aged woman in his heart, and felt very strange in his heart, what is the relationship between them?
At the dinner table, Chen Youlan obviously didn't have the heart to eat, and as for Chen Youlan's mother-in-law, she was even less interested in eating, and the meal scene was very depressing.
"Chen Youlan, may I ask why you call the princess aunt, this title is too ......" Zhang Tong couldn't help but ask.
The princess really looked very embarrassed, and took the initiative to say, "I'll go down first, you eat slowly!"
The princess hurriedly hid her face and left, obviously feeling that it was not a glorious thing. Zhang Tong quickly understood that this family has a story!
Chen Youlan looked at Zhang Tong, and finally said: "She is indeed my mother-in-law, but she is also mine...... My aunt, she was my father's cousin. ”
Zhang Tong suddenly blurted out: "This ...... I'm going, German orthopedics?"
Zhang Tong felt incredible, there was such a scene of German orthopedics. The cousin actually married his cousin, even before Zhang Tong crossed over, it was incomprehensible, let alone this era?
"Yes, although she is my mother-in-law, she is also my aunt and my father's cousin. My father was actually the de facto founder of our Chen Dynasty in Annan, and my father was the Taishi of the Li Dynasty in Annan. Later, at that time, the patriarch of our Chen family supported a puppet in one of the emperor's pro-emperors, and later the patriarch died, and my father took charge of the family and continued to control the puppet. ”
"But my father has no queen and no male heir, so the current Emperor of Annan, in fact, he was just a child when he founded the country, so inexplicably became the founding emperor, and my father is the real de facto founder of the country. ”
"At that time, my father deposed the emperor of the Li Dynasty, supported her daughter as the empress, and then made the founding monarch of our Chen Dynasty the so-called 'male empress', and finally forced the last female emperor of the Li Dynasty to be my cousin, completing the transition from the Li Dynasty to the Chen Dynasty. ”
When Zhang Tong heard this, he knew that Chen Youlan's father, Chen Shoudu, turned out to be a powerful minister, and even a de facto founding king. Although Chen Youlan said this lightly, it seems that it is just a series of political operations, but how much blood and rain is behind it, this is not something that Zhang Tong can easily figure out.
No wonder Chen Youlan has been afraid since she was a child, it turns out that Chen Youlan has lived in the bloody wind of such a political turmoil since she was a child, no wonder she will lose her sense of security, and she will practice martial arts desperately, just hoping to have a sense of security.
Perhaps in this bloody change of dynasty, Chen Youlan, who was still young at the time, but had experienced so much, felt frightened, and Chen Youlan would feel extremely afraid of this absolute core of the political turmoil, and even wanted to escape from here. Even if she was one of the best in the world in martial arts, in the end, she still "didn't dare" to return to this place that made her feel a terrifying nightmare when she was young.
"It's really hard for you, living in this dangerous whirlpool at such a young age!But what does this have to do with that princess?" Zhang Tong asked.
Chen Youlan took the initiative to answer: "My aunt was the concubine of the Li Dynasty at that time, and the last empress of the Li Dynasty was also her daughter, one of my father's adopted daughters and one of my sisters. She bore two daughters to the Li dynasty, one was the last empress of the Li dynasty, the first empress of my cousin, who was now made a princess. “
"My aunt and my father usurped the Li Dynasty together, but after usurping power, my father married the concubine of the Li Dynasty, that is, my aunt became the princess. “
Zhang Tong's brain exploded, what is the relationship between this? My cousin married my cousin, although I don't know how many generations this is, but this is definitely an out-and-out "German orthopedic" thing in ancient times.
But such a ridiculous thing actually made everyone dare not say a word, and they all acquiesced so much, you can imagine how amazing Chen Shoudu was back then, so people didn't dare to speak.
As for saying that this Chen Shoudu is also a powerful character, he actually completed the usurpation of the country, and then actually came up with the idea of supporting the princess of the Li Dynasty as the last female emperor, letting his nephew be the "male queen", and finally completing the Zen concession.
"This Chen Shoudu, he really has an idea! This is a new routine for usurping the throne!" Zhang Tong also admired in his heart.
However, this female emperor is just a puppet, a tool to complete the change of dynasty. But such a princess of the old dynasty became the concubine of the new dynasty, this kind of thing is not nothing, on the contrary, there are a lot of them, at most it is a process of becoming a female emperor, and it is not a fundamental change.
"That's not all, it's not a problem if it were like this. However, later his father forced the empress at that time, that is, the last empress of the Li Dynasty, Li Zhaohuang, to be abolished on the grounds that she had been married for more than ten years and had not given birth. However, Li Zhaohuang was only nineteen years old at the time, and they got married at the age of seven, so isn't it normal that they didn't have children?" Chen Youlan explained.
Zhang Tong almost squirted rice, this is really a crime that he wants to add, and there is no excuse for it! If he has been married for many years and has not given birth, don't look at how old he is to get married; if he gets married at the age of seven, he will not have children for more than ten years, isn't that normal? Expecting two seven-year-old children to give birth is simply nonsense. As for using it as an excuse, and this excuse is too bad!
"Not only that, but my father also asked Chen Liu, the sister of Emperor Li Zhao at the time, who was my other cousin and the brother-in-law of the current emperor, to leave with his wife, and then renamed her empress. ”
Zhang Tong almost sat on the ground and exclaimed: "Mom, your circle is really messy!"
