Chapter 376 The Arrangement Given by God

Mines have long been a knot in the emperor's heart. Who would sit on this dragon chair and wouldn't want it?
Su Shou raised his upper body and looked at the emperor with a pale face: "The person who rescued Chang He was called Yang Xie. Speaking of which, the emperor asked Rong Chen to tell a story about the past.

"There were six concubines in the uterus of the abolished crown prince, none with the surname Yang. But there was one maid who was sent to the palace by Zhan Shi Liu Su, who was later found to be the grandniece of Yang Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. In the subsequent investigation, this The palace lady surnamed Yang happened to be mixed in with a group of palace maids who were sent away by Meng En, and her whereabouts are unknown. I wonder if the emperor remembers this matter?"

The battle between the emperor and the abolished prince for the heir apparent ended in a disastrous defeat of the abolished prince's conspiracy, and a large number of courtiers who were closely related to the case were also executed. The fact that the grandniece was sent to the East Palace was only found out later during the liquidation.

Some of the maids in the East Palace stayed, and the other part was sent back to their hometown by the order of the Supreme Emperor at that time, that is, the first emperor.

It was more than a year when the relationship between the maid surnamed Yang and Shilang Yang was found out. At that time, the Yang family members had been executed, and the maid Yang was arrested and returned to the capital to verify her integrity. She was also executed, but she left the palace for more than a year The time is enough to give birth to a child, and it is enough for the first emperor to send the child away to be raised properly.

The emperor stared fixedly at Su Shou and stretched his upper body after a long time, "How do you know?"

When the Xue case happened, the matter of the deposed prince and his descendant was thoroughly investigated, but it was not found out exactly where the descendant's matriarchal lineage came from.After all, the Eastern Palace is not as good as the Qianqing Palace. Even the concubines have a certain number, even if they are only maids who serve closely, so it is very easy to check.Of course the emperor knew that this maid surnamed Yang was related to the Yang family, but at that time it was only to clear up the remnants of the evil, and he never contacted that she would give birth to a posthumous child.

Later, the descendant of the so-called abolished prince in the Xue case subdued the law. At that time, it seemed that all hidden dangers were eliminated, and there was no need to investigate his matriarchal line.

Yang Su was not an inconspicuous figure in the entire case of seizing the heirloom, but Su Shou suddenly connected the two at this moment.

"His name was called out by Chang He. Hearing his surname Yang, I thought of these past events. To tell the truth, the Yang family sent a daughter to the East Palace, but it was not known to outsiders. I have a lot of knowledge about this matter." Doubts. It stands to reason that the Yang family must have a plan for doing this, if this person was born last night, it would make sense."

If a family wants to make a fortune, then nepotism is often the main way.

The Yang family already had a solid foundation in the court, and if there was another concubine born with an emperor's heir, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful.

"But why did the Yang family secretly send their daughter into the palace? Instead of doing it openly?"

The side details that were ignored back then have all been picked out at this moment.The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but his left hand on his knee was slowly clenched, "It is impossible for the Yang family to have the ability to secretly send someone to the East Palace. Or, are you implying that the Yang family sent Miss to the East Palace? The party of the late emperor and the abolished prince had planned it long ago."

"How dare you insult the late emperor? But as the emperor said just now, the palace is strictly guarded. Without the permission of the late emperor, the Yang family would not be able to do it. Even if the abolished prince is a prince, he cannot act beyond the late emperor. Therefore, perhaps the late emperor did not know about this." It was because the abolished prince had an agreement with the Yang family at that time, and the abolished prince came forward to ask the late emperor for permission. The late emperor did not stop him from such a trivial matter. As for why the abolished prince did this, I thought it was to win over the Yang family to help him. The reason why the Yang family has this qualification is because Yang Su took advantage of his position to come into contact with the batch of mineral records hidden in the palace by Emperor Taizu."

The emperor sat for a moment and took a deep breath: "The Yang family?"

"The mineral deposits in the court have always been managed by the Ministry of Industry. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Su has the qualifications."

The emperor fell silent.Then he asked: "How can you be sure that this Yang Xie is the real posthumous child?"

"Of all the palace people with names and surnames in the East Palace back then, there were not many people with the surname Yang, and they all had their own way back. This can be checked until now. But only the Yang family who was secretly sent in by the Ministry of Industry's Minister's Mansion, has the birthright. The time of the posthumous child, and the conditions to protect the child. Yang Xie's matrilineal lineage is the Yang Su family, which is reasonable."

The emperor was silent for a while, then said slowly: "According to the rules in the palace, it is true that not everyone is eligible to conceive an emperor's heir."

Su Shou bowed his head deeply, and said again: "Last night, after careful consideration, I thought that Yang Xie's surname could not be accidental. In addition, he had entered the prison at night before, and there were courtiers who responded to him, so I guessed his identity. Not low. In Chang Wei’s case, he was in a higher status than Chang Wei, and his surname happened to be Yang, so I made a bold guess.”

When the emperor heard this, his expression returned to calm.But the eyebrows are still dignified: "According to the information I know, the Yang family and I know that this batch of mine maps should always be in the palace, and the emperor Taizu can't let them wander outside, although the person who holds the third iron coupon I should have a copy in my hand, but it is impossible for a third person to know, so how did Yang Su get it? Their Yang family is definitely not the one who holds the third iron coupon."

This is obvious, if the Yang family held the iron coupons, how could they have waited until the whole family was confiscated and exterminated and never handed over the iron coupons?
Su Shou was silent for a while: "I don't know about this level."

"So even if Yang Xie's life experience is as you guessed, he may not have this mine list in his hand."

"Even if not all of them, some of them are enough to make trouble."

The emperor took a deep breath and helped the case to stand up. "If that's the case, it should be the catastrophe that I have today. This Yang family unexpectedly gave birth to a boy!"

As a posthumous child, the chance of having a boy or a girl is half and half. If it is a girl, today's misfortune should not exist.

But it happened to be a boy!Isn't this the arrangement given by God?

"This incident also reminded me," the emperor continued, "I firmly believe that it is impossible for Chang Wei to exchange the real tiger talisman from me. So if there is a real tiger talisman among the items that Chang Wei gave to Chang He, then this The secret on the tiger talisman is probably beyond common sense."

Su Shou looked at the ground, and unconsciously curled up his hands supporting the ground.

The emperor stared at the front for a moment, and then suddenly looked sideways at him: "What does this Yang Xie look like?"

Su Shou reached out his hand and took out a roll of drawing paper from his bosom, and offered it: "This man's face is covered, so he can't see his whole face clearly. Last night, Lichen drew this portrait according to his impression. Please look at it, Your Majesty."

The emperor unfolded it in his hand, his eyes only stayed for a moment, and then he snapped it together, his expression was unpredictable.
