save the bachelors

"Yin'er is really capable." Ming Yuan smiled, "As expected of Yuyao's son, he has a delicate mind and extraordinary intelligence."

"Mother?!" Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then said sadly, "When my mother passed away, I was still young, and I no longer remember what she looked like."

"Cheng Yin, Auntie has something to tell you today." Ming Yuan gritted his teeth suddenly, as if he had made a big decision.

"Auntie, please tell me." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Auntie will take you to a place first." Ming Yuan got up and said, then took Xiang Nan to a basement in the palace.

I saw that the lights inside were dim, and there were dozens of memorial tablets.

In front of the memorial tablet, there is still a person standing, it is the middle-aged man who peeped at Xiang Nan yesterday.

When Xiang Nan saw him, he was stunned and shouted in surprise, "Mr. Chai?!!!"

This person's name is Chai Mu.When Li Chengyin was 13 years old, he came suddenly and taught Li Chengyin the five-bead chain arrow, and then disappeared suddenly.

Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end!
"Chai Mu met the Fifth Prince!" Chai Mu stepped forward to salute.

"Mr. Chai has been with me for many years." Mingyuan explained, "You can trust him, now and in the future, you can trust him."

Xiang Nan nodded, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that five years ago, Mr. Chai passed on the five-bead chain arrow to me, and it was also assigned by my aunt."

Mingyuan nodded.

The five-bead chain arrow is Gu Ruhui's famous stunt.

She asked Chai Mu to pass it on to Li Chengyin, not only hoping that he would have more power to protect himself, but also hoping that he could pass on the Gu family's unique learning.

"Thank you, aunt, for taking care of me." Xiang Nan bowed, and then looked at the tablets.

I saw that on those tablets, all of them were tablets with the surname Gu, and their official positions should not be low, such as General Cheqi, General Zhendong, General Jianwei, General Zhenbei, General Xiaoqi, General Zhongjun, etc.

The so-called "generals" are mostly senior military commanders or even the highest military commanders.In the Tang Dynasty, the general was one of the sixteen chiefs, ranking under the general.

With so many great generals from the Gu family, it is obvious that they are very powerful in the military, and they can be called a family of generals.

……

"Cheng Yin, come here~" Ming Yuan said softly.

Xiang Nan walked over and saw that she was putting incense on the two portraits with a solemn face.

The portrait shows a man with a full heaven and a round earth, a man who is elegant and heroic, and a woman who is dignified, beautiful, well-mannered, gentle and virtuous.

"Cheng Yin, kneel down~" Ming Yuan ordered.

Xiang Nan knelt on the futon, and heard Ming Yuan say quietly, "The ones on this portrait are your biological mother, Gu Yuyao, and your uncle, Gu Ruhui."

Although Xiang Nan already knew about it, he still pretended to be shocked.

"The Gu family was originally a well-known family in the Central Plains. Your uncle Gu Ruhui was a former hussar general. He was both civil and military since he was a child. He and your father, as well as Chen Zheng, the general of the Sixteenth Guards at that time, were siblings.

When your father was still the crown prince, Generals Gu and General Chen often accompanied your father on the battlefield and made many military exploits.After the death of the first emperor, your father ascended the throne as the emperor, worshiped General Gu as the right minister, and commanded the three provinces.

General Gu was a man of integrity and won the hearts of the people in the rich dynasty.At that time, Gao Ming, the left minister, was ambitious, treacherous and loyal.He is at odds with General Gu and has always held a grudge against him.

Gao Ming cheated His Majesty's trust with his clever words and tricks, and secretly cultivated his own power in the court, using all means to eradicate dissidents.

He repeatedly slandered under his majesty, slandered General Gu for his great achievements, forged letters between General Gu and King Danchi Tiedar, and framed General Gu for collaborating with the enemy and treason, intending to rebel.

Facing the evidence in front of him, His Majesty became suspicious, and ordered Gao Xiang to thoroughly investigate the matter, and brought General Gu and General Chen related to the matter back to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Gao Ming led troops to break into Gu's mansion, falsely preached the imperial decree, slashed and killed wildly, blood flowed into rivers of Gu's family, and bones were like mountains.Dozens of members of the Chen family were buried alive.

Gao Ming turned right and wrong in front of His Majesty, and falsely accused Gu and Chen of colluding in rebellion. Because of resisting arrest and stubbornly resisting, all of them have been brought to justice.His Majesty didn't know the truth, so he biased his side of the story.

Gao Ming didn't give up, secretly inciting the courtiers, admonishing the abolition of Concubine Shu, and putting her in the cold palace.Your Majesty loves your mother deeply, and has been reluctant to make an order for so long.

Your mother was in the palace, and after hearing the news that the Gu family had been exterminated, she was in pain. In order not to embarrass His Majesty, she asked to be demoted to a commoner and left the palace to clean up.

In desperation, His Majesty had no choice but to order someone to imitate Shicui Palace in the suburbs of Beijing, and build an identical courtyard for her.During that time, your mother was always in a low mood because of the matter of Gu and Chen's family.

Your father often went out of the palace to visit her, and at that time, your mother conceived you.After being pregnant with you, your mother was taken back to the palace and resumed her concubine position, and soon after, she gave birth to you.

The queen has no heirs, she was already jealous of your mother being favored by His Majesty, and your birth made her even more worried about losing her status.So she ordered someone to inject chronic poison into Concubine Gu Shu's soup.

After your mother found out, she knew that she would die. In order to save your life, she begged His Majesty to entrust you to the queen to raise you before she died.

And told me not to take this matter.She hopes that you can be safe, carefree, and grow up happily. "Ming Yuan said quietly.

……

After hearing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help feeling sad.

But he also knew that although Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang were the direct murderers of the tragedy of the Gu and Chen families, the real mastermind behind the scenes was Emperor Li Wei.

The Gu family is a family of generals, with several great generals.Even his friend Chen Zheng is a general of the Sixteen Guards.In the military world, it can be said to call the wind and call the rain.

But he also worshiped the right prime minister and commanded the three provinces, and he also had a very high popularity among the people.And the younger sister, Concubine Gu Shu, is also the emperor's favorite concubine.

This kind of power is even bigger than today's high minister, so it's no wonder it doesn't arouse the emperor's fear.That's why he ordered Gao Ming to eradicate the Gu and Chen families in order to eliminate the hidden danger of imperial power.

This is also the emperor's mind, and he will not let anyone threaten his imperial power.

Even if it is one's own friends, brothers, or lover, as long as there is a threat, it must be eradicated.

That's why the emperor called himself "the widow", because there was no room for others around him.

"Mother, it's the child who is unfilial, and has been treating the thief as his mother all these years!" Xiang Nan choked up and said, tears rolling in his eyes, "I swear, I will avenge you and uncle!"

"No, Cheng Yin, I told you this not to ask you to take revenge. I just want you to get rid of the traitors, relieve the sufferings of the people, and share the worries of His Majesty." Ming Yuan persuaded after hearing this.

When Xiang Nan heard this, he was filled with emotion.

In her best youth, Mingyuan was sent to the western region to make a marriage, and buried her whole life on the prairie.For the stability of the western region of the rich dynasty, it played an irreplaceable role.

Even after making such a big sacrifice, she still missed her homeland all the time, and even buried her in the Toyo Dynasty after death so that she could look at her homeland.

But after receiving the news of her death, Emperor Li Zhen only cared about the marriage with Xizhou, without showing the slightest sadness.

How pitiful and deplorable!
