Jinghong Tower

Chapter 15 The past is like smoke

He Ran looked around and glanced at the faces of He Shuming and He Shuqiao several times. Both of them had Yan's shadow on their faces.

Both boys are very pretty, and Yan should have been the kind of "comely beauty" when he was young.

He Shuming was a little embarrassed to be seen by this strange eldest sister. He quickly lowered his head and looked at the toes of his shoes. He Shuqiao was also looking at He Ran curiously: "Sister, she is so beautiful."

Before he finished speaking, Yan yelled: "Shut up!"

Everyone in the room, including the old lady, was shocked.

Everyone looked at Yan together, and the old lady was displeased: "Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan looked embarrassed. She just didn't want her child to get too close to the fake. She was anxious and lost her sense of proportion.

"My daughter-in-law is worried that the fifth brother's child will be unruly and hit the eldest lady."

The old lady snorted and waved He Shuquan over. The grandfather and grandson whispered something, excluding everyone else in the room.

The meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere.

He Ran turned around and left the house. This time, Menzi didn't even dare to ask her where she was going. The first time she asked, she said she was going to hang herself; the second time he asked, she said she was going to cry for her mother. , so this time the disciple didn’t ask. He had figured it out, and it was in vain to ask whether the eldest lady should leave or she knew how to leave. She couldn’t stop her.

He Ran went straight to Jinghong Tower, and Xiao Ba flew onto her shoulder at some point.

After entering Jinghong Tower, Zuo Xiaoai was waiting for her.

This time, of course, it was not in the lobby, but in the Jinghong Pavilion where neither Kurotsuchi nor Baiyun could enter or exit at will.

"Girl, how have you been these two days?"

He Ran was anxious to watch the excitement that day. Zuo Xiaoai was worried and kept asking people to pay attention to the movements of the He family. If the ancestors thought the excitement was not enough and added to the excitement, they could go over and help.

He Ran smiled: "It's going well."

She sat down on the Grand Master's chair above and asked, "Why didn't Zhou Chi kill Min Lan before he died?"

Hearing that He Ran finally asked about Zhou Chi, Zuo Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief. The girl no longer blamed Taizu.

"Back then, Taizu"

He Ran raised her hand and interrupted: "There is no one else here, so I don't want Taizu Taizu's."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou died suddenly that year. The Tai Hospital concluded that it was a stroke. Piao Piao went to check the medical records and found out that he had a hemorrhagic stroke. According to the information we later found out, during that time, there were many political affairs, and Mr. Zhou every day He worked very hard every day reviewing and reviewing memorials until late at night. In addition, he had a quarrel with the prince that day. After the prince left, Mr. Zhou felt unwell. The servant went to inform the imperial doctor, but before the imperial doctor arrived, Mr. Zhou fell to the ground and did not know what was going on. ”

He Ran looked solemnly: "Did the servants help him up?"

"Yes, I helped you to the bed. Did the girl also know about the disease? The imperial doctor said afterwards that she couldn't move." Zuo Xiaoai sighed. If the girl was still here, would Mr. Zhou not have left so early?

He Ran closed her eyes. The so-called hemorrhagic stroke was called cerebral hemorrhage in the time and space when she came. It turned out that Zhou Chi died of cerebral hemorrhage.

"Not saved?" He Ran's voice became calmer. "The person who died on the third day was unconscious for those three days." Although it was decades ago, Zuo Xiaoai still felt sad when he thought about it.

"Is Taizong the prince?" He Ran asked.

"No, everyone at that time thought that Mr. Zhou was sick because of the prince. The prince felt guilty and knelt in front of Mr. Zhou's bed. After learning that Mr. Zhou had passed away, the prince went to change his mourning clothes and took refuge." Zuo Xiaoai shushed, she had seen the prince, he was gentle and gentle.

He Ran sneered: "A bunch of trash, who is Taizong?"

"Taizong was the second prince. At that time, there were also suggestions for a third prince. However, the second prince was supported by the most people. When the prince passed away, the second prince became the eldest prince. If there is a direct descendant but no direct descendant, then it should be The third prince who appointed him was granted the title of King of Jin and was granted the title of Jinyang. The fourth prince was granted the title of Prince of Gui and was granted the title of Guilin. The former crown prince was given the posthumous title of Zhao. Many years later, Taizong adopted his third son under the name of Prince Zhao and inherited the title of Prince Zhao. The title was given to Qingzhou, and after the late emperor ascended the throne, he changed the title of King Zhao to King of Qi."

Zuo Xiaoai mentioned several people, but He Ran only remembered King Jin. It turned out that the first generation of King Jin was the third prince back then, so the current King Jin should be Zhou Chi's grandson considering his age.

"How did Min Lan get out?" This was what He Ran was most concerned about.

"Taizong had five princes, only three survived, and one was adopted by King Zhao, leaving two. When the late emperor died, he had no children. His only surviving brother was Jin Jin, who was only 12 years old at that time. Many people in the court proposed to support King Qi. Although King Qi was adopted under the name of King Zhao, he was of Taizong blood and was a brother of the late emperor. Moreover, he was an adult. Later, our empress dowager came from the deep palace. He walked up to the people and stood resolutely beside Jin Jin. In the end, Jin Jin ascended the throne, and the King of Qi will still be the King of Qi."

Zuo Xiaoai finished speaking in one breath, and He Ran laughed loudly: "If Min Lan can come out, she must have a legacy in her hand. I guess it is Taizong's legacy. The content of the legacy is that in a hundred years from now, if the throne is vacant, , the Queen Mother Min will temporarily take charge of the government."

Zuo Xiaoai was startled: "Girl, do you know?"

"Hmph, I guess this is something Min Lan can do. The Min family started out by making fake calligraphy and painting, so why is it difficult to get a posthumous edict? She is still self-aware. When Taizong and the late emperor were around, she didn't dare Do this, otherwise, she might not survive today."

He Ran cursed an idiot again, and she didn't know whether she was scolding Min Lan or those important officials in the court.

Zuo Xiaoai's heart was pounding, and she asked cautiously: "Girl, do you want to establish a new king?"

He Ran glanced at her: "Does your girl have that much free time? After raising grandpa, you still have to take care of your grandson's affairs? What benefits did the Zhou family give me that I want to help them like this?"

Speaking of this, He Ran suddenly slapped his forehead: "Where is the title deed of Qingyan Mountain?"

Zuo Xiaoai chuckled: "I have collected all your things, don't worry, Qingyan Mountain is still yours, no one can take it away."

Qingyan Mountain was given to her by Zhou Chiyu, and she asked for it. Zhou Chi had always been curious as to why she chose Qingyan Mountain. Of course, she didn't tell him the truth.

However, now is not the time to go to Qingyan Mountain.

"After Min Lan came out, did he send anyone to look for me?" He Ran asked.

"I have searched and checked Jinghong Tower, but the rules you set back then have not changed. Every Jinghong Tower has a different owner and does a different business. She sent people to check. , it’s just a coincidence of name.”

Zuo Xiaoai was very proud. Her girl was so awesome that she had thought of everything decades in advance.

"Let's make some arrangements. I'm going to the capital. Also, there is a fourth-rank official named Lao Guanghuai who may be coming to the capital in the near future. You can ask someone to check the arrangements for him by the Ministry of Personnel." He Ran picked up a Throw a peanut into your mouth.

Lao Guanghuai, her "grandfather".
