After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 113 Xiao Ling's death cannot be blamed on the little emperor
Su Jingyan recalled Cousin Ling in the carriage. Cousin Ling had been the crown prince since he was a child, and he had always been the most satisfied prince in the hearts of the courtiers.

When Xiao Ling passed away, he was only 16 years old. In the blink of an eye, it has been ten years.

Su Jingyan always remembered that Cousin Ling was very gentle when he spoke.

Cousin Ling never seemed to lose his temper, and no matter how much trouble he had when he was young, he never blamed himself.

If Cousin Ling is still alive, why is Xiao Ting so arrogant now?

After returning to the palace, Su Jingyan went to Ningshou Palace.

In Ningshou Palace, the Empress Dowager saw Su Jingyan coming back and said, "Ah Yan."

Su Jingyan leaned forward in the empress dowager's arms with red eyes, and said, "Auntie."

Seeing Su Jingyan weeping, the queen mother hurriedly asked, "But did His Majesty bully you?"

Su Jingyan said with a choked voice: "Auntie, why have you never told me the cause of Cousin Ling's death?
If I knew that Cousin Ling died because of Xiao Yi, I would never bring him to you and make you recognize him as your son, let alone marry him! "

The Queen Mother even asked: "Who is talking nonsense in front of you? Although Yi'er has something to do with Ling'er's death, Yi'er cannot be blamed."

Su Jing said: "The little emperor admitted it himself, Cousin Ling died because of him!"

The queen mother said slowly: "Yi'er is a real kid, what happened ten years ago and why did you tell me?"

Su Jingyan looked up at the queen mother and said, "Auntie, I don't understand, the late emperor took cousin Ling's life to protect his youngest son, yet you don't hate the late emperor at all? You even raised Xiao Yi for the late emperor. Why?"

Su Jingyan really didn't understand, "Auntie, it's not that our Su family doesn't have the ability to rebel..."

The Empress Dowager said: "Ah Yan, don't talk nonsense! It's a long story, and Yi'er only knows one thing and doesn't know the other.

Although Ling'er's death had something to do with Yi'er, Yi'er was innocent. Neither Yi'er nor the former emperor was to blame for this matter. "

Su Jingyan looked at the Queen Mother curiously.

The Empress Dowager turned the jade Buddha beads in her hand and said slowly: "Back then, Master Shangshan calculated that Yi'er's fate was dark and would affect the fate of the country of Datang, so Empress Dowager He and the royal family forced the late emperor to execute Yi'er.

The first emperor came up with a way of feigning death, intending to let Yi'er take a fake death drug, escape outside the palace, and hand Yi'er over to his uncle to raise him. "

Su Jingyan stood up and said, "Your Majesty's uncle is still alive?"

The queen mother nodded, and continued: "When the Wen family ransacked all over the house, the late emperor found someone to replace Wen Zhou, and Wen Zhou was able to survive.

That day, Wen Zhou was originally asked to wait at the gate of Luoyang City, and after Yi'er's fake death was inspected by the Queen Mother, he brought Yi'er to Wen Zhou and flew away. "

The queen mother took a sip of tea and continued: "Then somehow, the news that Wen Zhou was still alive was leaked.

The first emperor came to beg me to ask your father to lead troops to "capture" Wenzhou, but in fact let Wenzhou die.

But it happened to be a heavy rain that day, the spring thunder was rolling, and Wenzhou was on the mountain again. Wenzhou didn't know that your father would let him go, and thought he was going to kill him, so he fled all the way.

When fleeing, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell down the mountain. There was a big river underneath, and Wen Zhou fell into the river, leaving no bones.

In the palace, Empress Dowager He also discovered the fake death medicine Yi'er was taking, and Queen Mother He replaced the fake death medicine with real poison, Ling'er, Ling'er..."

The Queen Mother said with a choked voice: "Ling'er, after learning that it was real poison, he voluntarily drank the bowl of poison for Yi'er."

Su Jingyan was very surprised and said: "The poison that brother Ling drank voluntarily?"

The queen mother was full of heartache and said: "Ling'er fell into the water when he was young, and it was Concubine Wen who braved the bitter winter to rescue Ling'er, so Ling'er was willing to die in order to protect the life of his younger brother. "

The queen mother sighed, "Yi'er has always been sensible, at that time he mistakenly thought that the late emperor had poisoned Ling'er, and told your father and me about it from the very beginning.

I wanted to explain to him so that Yi'er wouldn't have to feel so guilty, but was stopped by the late emperor and refused to explain..."

Su Jingyan asked: "Why did the late emperor stop him from explaining? Why would he rather be misunderstood by Xiao Yi?"

The queen mother said: "At that time, the emperor might still feel that he owed Ling'er, and let Yi'er misunderstand, so that Yi'er would treat the Su family well because of your cousin Ling's death, and make up for our Su family."

Su Jing said: "But didn't the first queen make Xiao Ting the regent? It can be seen that the first emperor didn't trust our Su family at all."

The Empress Dowager said: "Establishing Xiao Ting as the Regent can silence the voices of those who would not allow Yi'er to take the throne.

What's more, the first emperor was indeed worried about Yi'er, and was also afraid that our Su family's power would be too powerful to make Yi'er a puppet.

But it is obvious that the late emperor was overthinking, our Su family has always been loyal to His Majesty. "

"Ayan, Yi'er's willingness to tell you all about this shows that he really loves you. After all, he is also a poor child, and he was only six years old at the time.

Yi'er's life was brought back by Ling'er's death, so I always treat him as my own son.You don't have to blame him for this. "

Su Jingyan felt very relieved when she heard the queen mother's explanation.

Su Jingyan asked the Queen Mother, "Auntie, has Wen Zhou's body not been found? Is it possible that he is still alive?"

The Empress Dowager said: "At that time, I searched along the river bank for almost half a month, but I finally gave up when I couldn't find the corpse."

Su Jingyan thought of Yu Wenzhou whom she saw on the bridge that Mid-Autumn Festival, and wondered in her heart, could Yu Wenzhou be Wen Zhou?

If it's really Wenzhou, wouldn't it be afraid to arouse the suspicion of others by using this name so openly and aboveboard?

Also, it's really the little emperor's own uncle, why go to Xiao Ting?

……

In Longmen County, Xiao Yi rewarded each of the opposing armies.

Xiao Yi stood on the city wall and said: "Whether it is the Zhengxi Army or the Yan Family Army, this drill has shown the heroic fighting demeanor of my Datang soldiers!

But some of them did not abide by the military regulations, and almost killed their brothers in the army, and they had to be punished severely. Today is just a drill, and when they come to the battlefield in the future, what they want is the lives of the soldiers, Xiao Han! "

Xiao Han cupped his hands and said, "The minister is here."

Xiao Yi said: "Investigate carefully, and punish those lieutenants who deliberately violated military orders and shunned them on the battlefield! Give the soldiers an explanation."

Xiao Han replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Ting was so annoyed at the bottom, what did Yan Jiajun do to let Xiao Han win!
Xiao Ting looked at the young man in armor next to Xiao Han, and the more he looked, the more familiar he was.

Xiao Ting came out and said: "Your Majesty, when can women be mixed into this barracks? How can a woman of the first class of Concubine Yan De be able to wear Zhengxi's military uniform?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Yan Junwan.

Obviously, many soldiers of the Western Expedition Army did not realize that the young man who fought with them for five days was actually a woman who took the "life" of the enemy general Zhao Ling just now!
Xiao Ting thought to himself, seeing how little Xiao Yi is doing this time, if Concubine Yan De is dealt with, the Yan family army might be able to use it for him.

If you don't deal with the women who entered the barracks, how can you face the soldiers of the Zhengxi Army?
