Chapter 24: Who cares if it's true or not
After lunch, I spent some time reading and practicing calligraphy in the afternoon...... γw0γ In the middle of the afternoon, it began to rain, and it was a little cold in the cave.
Zheng Qingluan put down the pen in his hand, cleaned it, and put it away. Kill an old hen, stew it early, and eat it in the evening. He added firewood to the stove, and in a short time the cave became warm.
Xiao Yunfeng lay on the bed and didn't speak, he knew that it was a bit of child's play to hand over the seal letter to Zheng Qingluan, but now there was no better candidate!
Zheng Qingluan's heart is really relaxed, Xiao Jiajun! Xiao Jiajun! There is such an army with the surname Xiao, this is the rhythm of looking for death.
Is it really the Du family who wants to kill the Xiao family?
Is it really the emperor who wants to protect the Xiao family?
No!
Perhaps, the emperor's protection on the surface is true! But it is probably also true that he secretly connived at the killers of the Du family!
The Xiao family has committed a royal taboo! And the Xiao family must have something in the hands of the royal family!
Therefore, the Xiao family is now in a dilemma! Keep the Xiao family's army, the emperor will not allow it! Give up the Xiao family's army, it will become meat on the chopping block, and others can cut it however they want!
So, what happened back then? What caused the Xiao family to be beheaded without causing the Xiao family army to mutiny?
And now, what is the reason why Xiao Yunfeng can't wait to hand over the seal letter to himself?
In the firelight, Zheng Qingluan's face showed a bit of coldness! What was tied around his neck was not a seal, it was a bomb that could kill at any time!
Grandma's bear! I thought about how it was so difficult to live the days of Nongfu Spring and a little field!
So silent, after dinner!
Until lying on the bed, in a quilt, skin to skin, Xiao Yunfeng stroked the little girl's smooth and delicate back, and laughed in a low voice, "It's suffocated! Let's be 'honest with each other' now, and we don't need to hide it. β
Zheng Qingluan snorted, "Then you haven't explained it earlier! tease me!" said and unceremoniously put his legs on his legs, so that it was comfortable to fall asleep. She rubbed her foot against his calf, "Is it comfortable?"
Xiao Yunfeng's body stiffened, "Bad-eyed girl!" said and sandwiched his disobedient legs between his legs, "Get down to business!"
Zheng Qingluan was also unambiguous, "I want to know what happened back then! What happened back then? Did you realize that something might happen, so you and your father-in-law were expelled from the house to protect themselves?"
"You guessed?" Xiao Yunfeng asked in surprise. "Yes, it was only when I realized the danger that I drove my father and me out. As for why it's our father and son?" Xiao Yunfeng's voice trembled, "Because my mother is the eldest princess of Jiangyang, the younger sister of the current emperor. β
Zheng Qingluan sat up suddenly, "What? impossible! The eldest princess of Jiangyang is not guarding the widow for the eldest son of the Du familyβ"
Zheng Qingluan realized something and instantly silenced. It is rumored that the eldest princess kept filial piety for her husband and led the practice in the women's view! I have never heard of her remarrying someone else.
"My father was the emperor's companion and met my mother since childhood. The first queen mother only has two children, the current emperor and my mother, and she loves them very much. Helplessly, the first queen mother went before the first emperor, and after that, Du Guifei in the palace was particularly favored, and the seven princes he gave birth to were also very popular with the first emperor, and the emperor was still the prince at that time, and the first emperor promised my mother to marry the Du family in order to close the relationship between the seven princes and the prince!
"It's hateful that Du Jiaming knows that his son is a heavenly eunuch, and he happily agrees to this marriage. My mother accidentally found out about this, where would she respond? The Du family was so embarrassed that she couldn't face the ridicule of the world, so she committed suicide by cutting her wrists!"
"The prince and the Du family have a grudge! In order to appease the Du family, the prince asked my mother to lead the cultivation and watch over the widows of the Du family! Joke! The dignified daughter of the heavenly family is a widow for her subordinates, which is really unheard of!"
"My mother seems to be disheartened and sent home! Subsequently, the prince ordered my father to visit my mother on his behalf, and I don't know who calculated it, but the two of them were β‘β‘, and they performed the gift of Zhou Gong, and then they had me!"
Since then, the Xiao family has formed an enmity with the Du family, and the Xiao family can only be tied to the prince's chariot, secretly taking the prince's head as the horse. The prince and the seven princes always fought extremely fiercely because of the favoritism of the first emperor, until I was seven years old, the prince finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then there was the palace change, which took the life of the entire Xiao family. β
"The Xiao family has the Xiao family's army, and the Xiao family's secret weapon - thunderbolt! The recipe of the thunderbolt is stolen by my mother to her prince brother, and later my father found out, the two had a dispute, I was outside the door at the time, and heard their words clearly, it turned out that from the beginning to the end are the calculations of the royal brothers and sisters, in order to fight against the Du family, the Xiao family is the best help. Although my father was his companion, he was not the head of the Xiao family, so my mother calculated my father and successfully provoked Xiao Du's hatred, no matter what it was, the Xiao family had no way out except for the prince! What's more, the Xiao family had the Xiao family's army, how could the prince ascend the throne without the support of the military! I was young at the time, and my heart was indignant, so I went to my grandfather, and my grandfather realized that things might not be good! Once something bad, the Xiao family is the scapegoat, because only the Xiao family has that kind of weapon! In order to preserve the bloodline of the Xiao family, only by expelling me, the Xiao family with royal blood, from the family can it be possible to open up the royal net. β
A year later, a palace banquet suddenly broke into the assassins, ignited the ** mark on his body, and went to the emperor, but the entire palace was blown up! There are also many princes and ministers who have been damaged, and the Du family has also lost two sons. The crown prince at that time survived, and then the emperor successfully ascended the throne, and the Xiao family was beheaded for treason. And the Du family seems to have pinched the emperor's handle on this matter, so they have been very arrogant all these years. The emperor needs someone who can contain the Du family, and the Xiao family is the best choice. Besides, my Xiao family still has half of the royal bloodline, which is more credible than others. After all, I was his own nephew! And I was so young that I couldn't remember much. β
In addition, the emperor also commanded the Xiao family's army, which led to the later rehabilitation. Now, the northern Tartars are repeatedly knocking on the side, ready to move, and the emperor is anxious to use the Xiao family's army, so he thought of using you as bait to lure me to appear. Xiao Jiajun's problem is imminent, and I have no skills and need help. Otherwise, you won't be able to start planning at a young age. β
Xiao Yunfeng patted the little girl's back, as if to appease!
Zheng Qingluan has been listening quietly, but his heart is not calm at all!
Damn! There are really no good people in the royal family!
Zheng Qingluan's mind turned: The thunderbolt bomb should be **! The Xiao family must be truly rehabilitated, unless it can be proved that the thunderbolt bomb is not the Xiao family's.
How can we prove it? Can we shout all over the world that it was the emperor's doing! And it wasn't the brain's water to find a pumping type! Besides, this is not necessarily the emperor's doing!
It seems that in this matter, not only the Xiao family must be taken out, but also the emperor must be taken out by the way!
Zheng Qingluan had a flash of inspiration, and "rubbed" and jumped up, "What if I can prove that it is not the Xiao family's thunderbolt?"
"Impossible! Only the Xiao family has it! This is something that everyone knows. Later, the emperor also had it in his hand! But this cannot be said on the table. Xiao Yunfeng shook his head, not optimistic.
"On that day, was the emperor also in the main hall today? If he knew that there would be an explosion, would the emperor risk his life?" Zheng Qingluan's eyes lit up, maybe things were not as bad as he imagined.
"No! the son of a daughter, you can't sit down!" Xiao Yunfeng replied affirmatively.
"The Xiao family's thunderbolts are likely to control their explosion range?" Zheng Qingluan asked again.
Xiao Yunfeng was shocked, she actually knew the characteristics of the thunderbolt, "No! It is extremely unstable!" and thought of something, "Could it be that the emperor didn't do this? He was also calculated." β
"I think so too!I'm afraid there is a third-party force in the middle!" Zheng Qingluan thought for a while, "The emperor has probably been aware of this problem for a long time, but the matter is beyond his control. Letting the eldest princess steal the formula that day may be just to better control the Xiao family, under the circumstances at that time, he couldn't afford to put the Xiao family to death! After using it, it's hard to say!"
"Think about it from your own position, your subordinates have such a sharp weapon in their hands, I am afraid that people in high positions will not be able to sleep well! It is better for both sides to control and balance each other, and neither is afraid of betrayal by the other. It's just that I don't know what went wrong in the middle, and things have evolved into what they are today. Zheng Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, "If the Xiao family's thunderbolt is to let it blow up the window, it will not be able to damage the wall! Then, the palace change that day was that someone deliberately framed the Xiao family!"
"What?" Xiao Yunfeng jumped up, his face full of astonishment! "The thunderbolt is really made by the Xiao family's recipe, and the emperor knows this very well. β
"Stupid!" Zheng Qingluan said scoundrelly: "So what! The Xiao family doesn't recognize it! What can he do to me? I take out a more advanced and powerful bomb, who can say anything!"
"Besides, the emperor is happy to believe what I say! Because, not only have I whitewashed the Xiao family, but also the emperor! The handle of the Du family will no longer be a handle for the emperor. β
Zheng Qingluan looked at Xiao Yunfeng's bright eyes and smiled, "What is true, what is false? It's not a sentence from the superiors, if you say that you are true, you will be true if you are not true, and if you say that you are false, you will be false and false." Then he snorted coldly, "Let's take the article that I was implicated in the crime a few days ago, I have seen those who implicated his wife's family, who has seen those who implicated his fiancΓ©e." It's just to catch you out, and to pull out such a crime! Which one have you seen questioning? It's not what it says! Who doesn't understand this truth!"
"The imperial power is as great as the sky! The Xiao family wants to completely get rid of the crime, and if the Xiao family army wants to survive without being restricted, it must change the military system of the Xiao family army!"
