The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"That Mrs. Shi is really not an honest person!"

Hearing Zheng's inquiry, Sheng Xiangxun hurriedly reminded: "Ling Niang, you really have to stay away from her in the future. If it weren't for the reminder from your aunt, who would have thought that the Shi family in Dingyuan would have a relationship with the Han family! Just look, The Shi family has enough!"

"The Han family? What Han family? What happened to the Han family?"

The more Zheng Shi heard, the more confused she became. She tugged on Sheng Xiangxun's arm in confusion and asked, "Why don't I remember which Han family committed a crime?"

"Of course you don't know, I don't even know! When the Han family committed crimes, we were not even born yet!"

Sheng Xiangxun felt tired from standing, so he led Mrs. Zheng into the inner room and got on the couch. The two of them leaned on the big pillow and chatted.

Sheng Xiangxun has always been unwilling to treat himself badly. When the couple put their legs under the couch table, he felt that the position was quite comfortable, so he dragged the couch table in front of the two of them, and called for a maid to bring various dried fruits, Candied fruit, sticky sugar, and snack boxes were brought, and I ordered someone to bring two more plates of lo mei and jerky.

"Bring a pot of hot plum wine! Prepare a big pot of black tea."

While ordering to drink, Sheng Xiangxun told the maids: "Put the warm and damp handkerchief in front of us, so that we can wipe our hands; and bring the small fruit basket made of bamboo and rattan, so that we can put the fruit peels."

After he instructed these with great interest, he told the maids to stay away, so as not to disturb their conversation.

As for Yang Nanny, as usual, she sat on the kang in the outer room and played a game, while watching the little maids stay away.

"..." Zheng looked at the table full of snacks in front of him, and wanted to stroke his forehead.

Is this a conversation, or a tea party?
Fortunately, Sheng Xiangxun didn't continue to play tricks, which made Zheng resist the urge to twist his ears.

"Ling Niang, you should know how Da Chu came here, right?"

Sheng Xiangxun asked in Zheng's ear.

"Ah."

Zheng nodded slightly.

Immediately, she blinked and remembered!

When Emperor Chen Mo was assassinated at the imperial banquet, his uncle Han Cheng wanted to usurp the throne, but thanks to the rescue of Jiu Xun's team members, he was able to breathe.

In the meantime, although Empress Jiang Peixi blocked several arrows for Emperor Chen Mo, there were still rebels who stabbed him with a dagger.

Because the last emperor's grandfather conspired to usurp his brother's throne, and his father's proclaiming the emperor had been fought for many times, so when it came to Chen Modi, he was the only one left in the whole son's royal family.

When he was assassinated, he had only one princess who was born to Empress Jiang under his knees.

The princess was only three years old at the time, so she was too young.

Emperor Chen Mo knew that if the Han family, who had been in power for a long time, was in power, the princess would be in a difficult situation and would be at risk.

In order to keep the only bloodline safe, Emperor Chen Mo desperately passed the throne to his wife and elder brother, who is now Chengyuan Emperor Jiang Peiwen.

Emperor Chengyuan was the Taifu and Minister of the Household Department in the Chen Dynasty. If he hadn't put more checks and balances on Han Cheng, that powerful minister would have rejected the last emperor and ascended the throne by himself.

"When I was young, I heard the elders in my family say that before His Majesty ascended the throne, the Han family had nine clans under the law, and there were not even exiles. How could there be any fish that slipped through the net?"

Although Zheng felt that Emperor Chengyuan's methods were a bit cruel, but thinking of him avenging his sister and Emperor Chen Mo, it was understandable.

"Where it's just for them, more importantly, it's for the Empress Yuan!"

"Why does this have something to do with the Empress Yuan? Didn't the Empress Yuan die after giving birth to a prince with dystocia?"

When Sheng Xiangxun heard what Zheng said, he suddenly felt like everyone was drunk and he was sober. Alas, knowing too much is also a burden!

Taking a deep breath, he leaned into Zheng's ear and whispered: "At that time, the Empress Yuan was conferred by Emperor Chen Mo as Mrs. An Guo. When Emperor Chen Mo was assassinated, there were rebels who wanted to kill His Majesty. Mrs. An Guo She happened to be seven months pregnant at that time, but she stood in front of her without thinking about her own life to save His Majesty."

"Ah, this..." Zheng was very shocked, and thought, no wonder the emperor has never forgotten her!
"Your Majesty has been known for his generosity since he was a child, but he will never be able to let go of the Empress Yuan. If it weren't for this, His Majesty would have executed the adult males of the Han family at most."

After Sheng Xiangxun said this, he carefully told Zheng Shi: "My aunt said that the Empress Yuan and Prince Wynn are your majesty's rebels, and they must not be messed with, otherwise it would be unimaginable."

Mrs. Zheng was shocked when she heard this, and her expression changed suddenly: "If so, how can the Shi family be any better? What about sister Yi Yu?"

Immediately, she pulled herself together again, and said as if to comfort herself: "It's not too much, is it? It has been more than forty years since the founding of the Great Chu, and no matter how big the hatred... it should be shallow?"

"Impossible!" Sheng Xiangxun shook his head firmly when he heard the words.

Then, he continued to whisper to her: "Did you know that His Majesty started to build the imperial mausoleum after he ascended the throne?"

Zheng nodded.

Who doesn't know?
Sheng Xiangxun blinked and looked around. There was no one else around, but it made him whisper:

"His Majesty has planned to divide the imperial mausoleum into two parts, the imperial mausoleum and the rear mausoleum.

It is said that the imperial mausoleum was completely built according to the pattern of the Taifu Mansion, and the mausoleum was designed according to the courtyard of His Majesty and the Empress Yuan in the Taifu Mansion.

There are only two positions for His Majesty and Empress Yuan.

It was not until the death of Prince Wynn that His Majesty took the place of the little prince.

The aunt said that His Majesty had already left an imperial decree, saying that after he left, the imperial mausoleum would be sealed and no one else would be allowed to approach it.He also said that the mausoleum of the successor emperor will be built separately, and that construction is not allowed within [-] miles.

When Empress Dowager Rong An passed away more than ten years ago, she also entered the Hou Mausoleum tens of miles away from the imperial mausoleum. "

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but sweat for the Shi family.

But apart from being nervous, she was still a little curious: "So, the relationship between the Empress Yuan and His Majesty is really as deep as the rumors say?"

But if this is the case, what happened to Empress Qin?She remembered that Saburo had said that Empress Qin was promoted from a concubine to successor.

Speaking of this, Sheng Xiangxun knew more.

"I remember I told you before that the whole family of the Qin family is not a man, but they robbed my aunt's marriage?"

Zheng nodded, she remembered.

Sheng Xiangxun sighed: "How could things be so simple at that time? Those people were vicious in their minds, and it wasn't just a marriage that they planned. They wanted to kill their aunt!
Fortunately, my aunt was alert enough to escape, but just like that, she almost entered the family temple.

The mother was not willing to let the only sister suffer, and after thinking hard, she remembered to hand over the handkerchief.

When she was in her boudoir, she had an irresistible relationship with the Empress Yuan, and it was she who accompanied the Empress Yuan many times when she remarried with the Han family.

Although His Majesty promised to be the same when he married the Empress Yuan, his mother, the later Empress Dowager Rong An, didn't like it, and the Empress Yuan had never had a child after marriage, so the couple was always under pressure.

Later, Empress Dowager Rong An issued an ultimatum, threatening His Majesty to make a choice: Either His Majesty accepts a concubine, or the Jiang family divorces his wife.

Thinking of this, the mother asked Yuanhou to talk to Xiang, only saying that she married her aunt into Jiang's house as a concubine in name, but actually asked her to recognize them as brothers and sisters.

In this way, not only can he save his aunt's life, so as to escape from the Qin family's control and calculations; secondly, it can also relieve the couple and relieve their pressure temporarily.

His Majesty and Empress Yuan were kind-hearted and generous. After hearing about what happened to their aunt, they met with her aunt out of sympathy. "

Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that there were such inside stories. After being amazed, she looked at Sheng Xiangxun curiously: "Sanlang, how did you know such details about these things that should be secret?"

"Hey! I know a lot about secrets like this!"

Sheng Xiangxun looked at Zheng smugly, and said with a smile, "When I was three or five years old, adults liked to wait for me to fall asleep and whisper.

The conversation between mother and aunt, the whispering between mother and nanny, and the whispering between my aunt and nanny, as well as the chatting between the nanny and the palace people below, I heard them all when I was pretending to sleep! "

Seeing his pride in what he said, Mrs. Zheng suddenly realized, and clapped her hands: "Solve the case! I'll tell you why Sister Yuan likes to eavesdrop! So it's up to you!"
