She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 60 The Truth
Pei Wei used to be a patient person, but now he doesn't want to bear it so much.

He placed his hands firmly on the desk and pressed it several times. The expression on his face changed uneasily, and he suddenly said:
"Miss Huang, do you have anyone you suspect?"

Pei Peng was stunned by the question and slowly smiled:
"Of course there are some suspects, but brother, do you really want to settle the matter at the juncture of the upcoming wedding? What's more, no one knows whether the people who went to investigate Commander Shao are trying to deal with you or just deal with him. , why make a big fuss?"

Pei Peng just wanted to attend the wedding safely and then return to Taizhou.

As for the subsequent development of Jingzhong...I'm sorry, she is far away and can't control it.

The siblings looked at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Pei Peng didn't want to interfere, but Pei Wei wanted to let out a sigh of relief.

After Pei Peng left, Pei Wei meditated for a while and then called Commander Shao over who was training his subordinates in the inner garden.

Before Pei Wei was crowned prince, he and Shao Cangman had hardly met formally.

At the only Spring Festival family dinner every year, Pei Wei always sat far away in an inconspicuous corner, but at that time, Shao Cangman was loyally at the late emperor's side.

But in the same way, on the night of the late emperor's death, Shao Cangman also quickly transferred this loyalty to Pei Wei.

This is the reason why Pei Wei distrusted most people after he ascended the throne, but still put the most important safety in Shao Cangman's hands.

"His Majesty."

Commander Shao bowed his hands in salute as usual, then lowered his head slightly and waited for Pei Wei to call out.

"Commander Shao, I heard that you brought a nephew over from your hometown. Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Returning to your majesty, my brother promised to leave this child to his mother to raise him early on, and I would not bother him. Recently I heard that his mother has passed away and that his stepfather's family is in a difficult situation and it is difficult to raise him. That's why..."

"Don't you want to adopt him?"

Pei Wei didn't say clearly who he would adopt to, but Shao Cangman understood.

Indeed, he did have this idea.

He is now in his mid-thirties. Putting it on other people of the same age, he is afraid that his sons will get married, but he has no sons and half daughters.

The big family property, handed over to that sick nephew?He doesn't want to.

Even though his parents had mentioned it many times, both openly and secretly, that one of the children his nephew would bear in the future would be named under his name, he was still unwilling to do so.

Obviously he has a better candidate, doesn't he?

And he still has such a perfect timing, even if the child is brought back, the parents and elder brothers can't object.

Of course he would take it back and put it in his name.

But when Pei Wei asked, Shao Cangman didn't know what to say.

Did he know something?
Or is he simply afraid that after he has a son, he will plan for his son, thus losing the loyalty of the only minister?
Commander Shao thought about it and answered:

"I do have this intention. I and my wife are desolate and have nothing else to do. I have always wanted to have a step-child to comfort the rest of my life?

Originally, I wanted to choose from the clan, but I heard that the child is not in a good situation, and he is my direct relative...nephew.

So it was a coincidence that I took him over. He looks very much like our two brothers when we were young. Madam couldn't bear him to be homeless, so she wanted to adopt him. "

Pei Wei felt that what Shao Cangman said was very reasonable and seemed to be consistent with what Pei Peng asked someone to investigate.

But he still wanted to bet on another possibility, because once that possibility was established, not only would the possible danger be resolved, but he would also be able to completely control Shao Cangman.

"But what I've heard is not this version of the story..."

Pei Wei walked down the steps slowly, and stood beside Shao Cangman with her hands behind her back.

He bent slightly and looked at the other person's face with clear eyes, as if there was no malice in the next words, only pure curiosity:

"Commander Shao, I heard someone say that he is your son."

Shao Cangman froze for a moment, trying to turn his face to look at Pei Wei, but quickly controlled his movements so that his neck half twisted in an unnatural posture.

What Pei Wei didn't want to admit was that he was indeed a person who was very good at reading people's faces. This was the accumulation of his many years of experience, so he subconsciously pondered Shao Cangman's expression and got the answer he wanted.

He stood up and left, then stepped up the steps step by step. He sat on the high platform and looked down at the figure below.

"Let's talk about it, Commander Shao, you know, I don't care about those things, what are the principles of ethics, what are the etiquette and shame? I only care about you—as the commander in charge of the safety of the entire palace, have you lied to me?"

This is a very sensational past, but after careful consideration, it is enough to conform to the logic of everyone's actions.

There are three brothers in Shao Cangman's family, the eldest son and youngest son are always favored more, but Shao Cangman is unfortunately ranked second.

Later, his younger brother died of typhoid fever, and his parents became even more concerned about their eldest son. Originally, for an ordinary farmer like them, partiality meant having more bowls of porridge and more eggs.

However, Shao Cangman was unlucky. When he was 16 years old, there were border frictions and insufficient soldiers. The state capital where his family was located was chosen as a supplement, and his family's head was also chosen.

After the resistance failed, he put forward a condition - to leave himself a heirloom.

marry a wife?The family can't afford any more money, and they don't want to support another person after his laborer leaves.Then his eldest brother generously contributed his sister-in-law.

With resentment towards his parents and elder brother, Shao Cangman ignored the pain in the eyes of his sister-in-law who was very kind to him.And he was lucky. Before he was conscripted, he got the good news that he would have a child.

What happened next is what Pei Peng sent people to find out.

Maybe his parents regretted it, maybe his elder brother felt ashamed, in short, they wanted to kill the child.But the sister-in-law, who was originally unwilling, chose to keep the child.

Pei Wei was a little bored listening to it. Of course there are very tragic things and shameful human nature in it, but what he wants to know more is, who is going to investigate this matter?

"Why did you suddenly decide to bring him back? I mean, you obviously ignored that child for many years."

Shao Cangman said all the things that should not be said, so he didn't mind revealing more. He straightened up on his own, wiped his face dejectedly, and continued:

"Actually, I have thought about it for a long time, but my parents have never allowed it, and I have the leverage in their hands. Although I guess they are most likely reluctant to give up my promising son, but my eldest brother, he wants more , once I don’t get it, I will inevitably be stabbed in the back.

However, he was also careless. He was coaxed into drinking and mentioned the child.The people who heard the news probably wanted to use crimes such as lax family management to deal with me, but I was afraid that they would find out more, so I simply took the child over. "

Pei Wei thought to himself, he is a military commander after all, and he is from a common people, so his ideas are too simple.

Use the crime of lax family management to deal with him?

But he didn't know that those people would definitely hit a person with one hit, and the same was true when threatening someone.

And Pei Wei is actually like this. When he manipulates a person, what he wants to get is definitely the most deadly and private secret.

Not long after Pei Peng left the palace, he heard the news that Pei Wei had called Commander Shao over to have a secret conversation behind closed doors.

Every ant and sparrow in the palace is an unidentified spy.Pei Peng thought to herself, she knew it, and others probably knew it too.

People with a guilty conscience, those who want to take advantage of Shao Cangman's family to cause trouble, may be able to guess the content of the conversation, but they may not be sure.

She accidentally waded into the increasingly turbid water. Thinking that there were still more than ten days before Pei Wei's wedding, she simply ordered the steward to continue collecting enough rare gifts, and then took Cheng Fei and Xu Qing to the suburbs of Beijing. Zhuangzi spent the summer.

What a coincidence, this Zhuangzi has a Wubao.

　You may have noticed that the title of the book has been changed, because the data is not very good, and it has not been recommended. I discussed with the editor and changed the name to see if it can be recommended, so I changed it. Haha, I hope the next luck better.
