Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 854 What Can This Mean?

Different from Zhen Guogong's mansion, which was once prosperous with offspring, Marquis Wuding's mansion has always been a single lineage. There is only one boy in each generation. Their family looks forward to the stars, the moon, and a girl, but there is no way to do so.

It is precisely because of this that the members of the Xue family are very affectionate and value the brothers around them.

"So?" Hong Ye crossed her arms, looked at Xue Ruitian in puzzlement, and then at the letters on the case table, "These were all written down by the old Hou Ye when he was young?"

"Father has a habit of writing essays and letters. I know this, but I don't know why. Father, mother, and Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen don't mention their past events when they were young. Mother and Aunt Shen can I understand, one is a lady from a great family, the other is the late emperor's younger sister, her mother rarely leaves the mansion, and although Aunt Shen, like other princes of the same age, leaves the palace to build a mansion after she grows up, she doesn't often walk around outside the mansion, so it's nothing interesting It can be mentioned. But my father and Uncle Shen are different. They were the companions of the late emperor, and they should have been young men in fresh clothes and angry horses when they were young. They must have had many interesting experiences, and they should not be passed on in a few sentences."

"It's true when you say that." Hongye thought for a while, then nodded lightly, "In my impression, it seems that the old Houye and the old Guogong didn't talk about what happened when they were the first emperor's companions, even if they had to. When I mentioned it, I explained it dryly, and then..." She shrugged her shoulders, "There is no more. What happened during the time when they were so taboo? Is it related to the brotherhood of the Xue family?"

"En!" Xue Ruitian nodded, pointing to the notebooks, "The story is very exciting, but it is also very embarrassing."

"Tell me in detail." Hong Ye moved closer to Xue Ruitian, looking at him with great interest, "I know, you also want to find someone to talk to quickly."

"You are the smartest!" Xue Ruitian stretched out his hand and flicked Hongye's forehead, "We all know that the late emperor, father, and Uncle Shen grew up together, and they were brothers who truly cared for each other. But in fact, when they were young, At that time, there were two brothers who got along very well and played well, these two were the first emperor's cousins, Song Yuexuan, the son of Prince Liang, and Song Junran, the son of King Su."

"King Liang? King Su?" Hong Ye frowned slightly, "Didn't these two princes be abolished in the third year of the first emperor's ascension to the throne? The reason for abolishing their thrones back then was to bully others, bully men and women, and rob people's fields? "

"These are all charges of deceiving people. In fact, the real charge is forming a party for personal gain."

"Oh!" Hong Ye sneered, "What is forming a party for personal gain? It's seeking power and usurping the throne, right? Besides, those two princes are probably suffering for others. The real ulterior motives are probably these two sons. The old Hou Ye and the old Duke The reason why the master refuses to mention the past when he was young is because he was betrayed by his brother and was stabbed in the back by his brother."

"Yes, not exactly."

Xue Ruitian stood up, stretched his legs and feet, put the letters on the table back to their original positions, closed the doors and windows of the house, went out and waved to the red leaves that jumped down from the window sill, and the two of them took a stroll Da went in the direction of the dining room.

"Explain, where did I go wrong?"

"I didn't say that you were wrong, but that you were not rigorous and accurate." Xue Ruitian stretched his waist, "Actually, the two princes approached them from the very beginning, and they went for that chair for other purposes. "

"Ah?" Hong Ye was stunned when she heard Xue Ruitian's words, "How old were they at that time? Did they know they were going to grab the throne?"

"So, what you said just now is not rigorous. The reason why they know how to grab the throne at such a young age is because they have heard too much at home. Their father and king don't have the ability to snatch the throne from the grandfather of the emperor. Every day I just complained at home, talked a lot, and the children listened too much, so I naturally took it to my heart." Xue Ruitian curled his lips, "They deliberately made friends with the late emperor, and endured their feelings for the late emperor, father, and Shen. Uncle's dislike, call them brothers and sisters."

"This... is too disgusting, isn't it?" Hong Ye looked disgusted, "If you really have the ability, you can grab it openly, and do it like this..." She shook her head lightly, "It's too insidious, too If you are a villain, even if you get the throne, you will not become a wise master."

"So, when the late emperor, father and Uncle Shen knew their true colors, one can imagine how they felt in their hearts."

Seeing that the dining room was not far away, Hongye patted Xue Ruitian's arm and asked him to wait for her at the same spot. She ran into the dining room in a hurry, and came out with two big food boxes in a short time. .

"Let's go!"

Xue Ruitian took a food box from Hongye, and the two of them turned around and went to the nearby flower hall. A servant had helped organize the flower hall and prepared tea and refreshments for them.Seeing two people coming in, the servants saluted and retreated silently.

Hongye opened two food boxes. One food box contained a bowl of rice, a bowl of roast meat and a plate of fried vegetables, and the other food box contained two plates of sliced ​​honeydew melon. Put it on your own table, and put everything else in front of Xue Ruitian.

"But..." Hongye took a piece of honeydew melon in her mouth, chewed it twice, and said vaguely, "Didn't the first emperor notice it a little bit? I think no matter how rigorous they are, they will show their flaws." , After all, they are very young, so they won't have such a meticulous layout, right?"

"Indeed, according to the records in my father's letter, they also discovered that there was something wrong with these two people." Xue Ruitian drank two mouthfuls of soup, and began to put his chopsticks on the roasted meat, "Two times is a coincidence, more than three times, it is deliberate What's more, the late Emperor, Father and Uncle He are also very shrewd, after being counted twice by them, they have already become suspicious." He ate a piece of meat and drank two more mouthfuls of soup, "According to what my father said, it's not suspicion, It's to make sure there's something wrong with the two of them."

"It's decided so soon?" Hong Ye stole a piece of roast meat from Xue Ruitian's bowl, "Is it too obvious?"

"Father didn't write anything specific, judging between the lines, the matter should be serious, and the paper was filled with resentment." Xue Ruitian thought it was funny seeing that Hong Ye had already eaten the second piece of meat, "Are you hungry again? You've eaten a lot these days, aren't you afraid of becoming fat?"

"I've been on night duty for the past few days, so I'll have enough food to last longer." Hong Ye waved her hand indifferently, "But what does it mean when you find this out? Do you think the two of them are playing tricks behind this?" ? But I remember, both King Liang and King Su were dispatched to the mountains in the southwest?"

"That's the strange point I said." Xue Ruitian stopped the chopsticks in his hand, with a very serious expression on his face, "Father's handwriting when he was young is missing a part, from the third year to the tenth year of the first emperor's enthronement. I have not found any manuscripts for these seven years. And the records about King Liang, King Su and the two princes only stop at confirming their charges. As for their whereabouts, whether they really went to the southwest mountains, there is no Say nothing."
