imperial concubine

Chapter 41

The room was extremely dark, with only one lamp like a bean.

Zhuru stood at the table, looked at the young lady in front of her, and said in a very low voice, "That happened three months after the new emperor ascended the throne. At that time, General Huo was just a young general in the court. He was not as good as today. Power."

Su Wan on the other side of the table did not speak, thinking that three years would be enough for people to erase themselves from their memories.He never thought that by chance today, he would hear his name again.

After a long time, Su Wan sighed slowly, with some sadness in her eyes, she looked at Zhuru and asked: "Since Huo Jing was just a young general at that time, why did he fight again because of the former eldest princess and Princess Jingya?" conflict?"

No matter what it was for, Huo Jing shouldn't conflict with Yun Jingya.You know, King Ruyang loves Yun Jingya very much, as long as Yun Jingya says a word, Huo Jing's official career will be terminated immediately.

What's more, in the eyes of the world at that time, he had already burned himself to death on the green banquet stage.If Huo Jing was really a smart person, he shouldn't have clashed with the dignitaries of the court because of a person who has passed away.

Hearing the lady's question, Zhuru said mysteriously: "At that time, the world was peaceful, and the royal heirs of the previous dynasty were cut off. King Ruyang was enthroned as emperor under the support of everyone. The eldest princess was saddened by the death of Emperor Jing. He set fire to himself on the green banquet platform and was buried for Emperor Jing."

At the end of Su Wan's hearing, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. It turned out that after his death, King Ruyang used such a clumsy excuse to try to cover up the matter!It's a pity that countless people witnessed it in full view that day, but it couldn't be covered up.

Standing in front of the table, Zhuru had excellent eyesight. Seeing a smile on the corner of Su Wan's mouth, she also said with a smile: "It seems that Miss also knows the truth about that incident back then. It's just that it's a taboo, so you can't say it, Miss. Do remember."

Looking at the dancing candles on the table, Su Wan's eyes showed a clear look. No matter what the truth was when he set himself on fire on the green banquet stage, King Ruyang had to think of a reason to go like this, otherwise his throne would be ruined. Can't sit still.

However, judging from Zhuru's current expression, I think that the fire he made back then was very effective.Although the fire did not cause chaos in the world, it left a very deep impression on the hearts of the people, but the people were afraid of power and did not dare to announce it.

Thinking of this, Su Wan's heart moved, and she deliberately asked Zhuru, "Which thing are you talking about? What kind of truth is the so-called truth in your mouth? Tell me about it."

Su Wan already knew in her heart what Zhuru was talking about, but she pretended not to know, and wanted to see how the common people thought about it, so she asked.

With the light of the dancing candles on the table, Zhuru saw the look of anticipation on the young lady's face, and then said with a wry smile: "I thought the young lady knew about this matter, but I never thought that you don't even know such a big thing."

At that time, it could be said that everyone in the capital knew about it.At that time, although the lady was just sensible, she should have heard of it.It never occurred to me that looking at the young lady's expression, she didn't even know about this matter at all!

Su Wan at the table smiled slightly, and said to Zhuru: "Although I can get some information about what happened back then, it's too vague, and I don't know whether it's true or not. So, I can only ask you about the things I don't understand. gone."

This excuse makes sense. After King Ruyang came to the throne, the first thing he did was to cleanse the former Emperor Jing's relatives and firmly hold the power in his own hands.And Su Wan's mother died at that time.

From then on, Su Wan was placed under house arrest by the then Zhang's current eldest wife. Naturally, she only knew a little bit about the outside world, but definitely didn't know the details.

Obviously, Zhuru also thought of this, she smiled embarrassedly at Su Wan, "I'm sorry miss, Zhuru was wrong." Su Wan looked at Zhuru's pitiful look, and smiled happily, "It's okay, you Just tell me about that."

Zhuru nodded, and then continued: "At that time, His Majesty just entered the capital, and the Eldest Princess was waiting for His Majesty's army to enter the capital on the Green Banquet Stage, and then His Majesty's army surrounded the imperial city, and the Eldest Princess asked Ruyang King on the Green Banquet Stage, Ask the son-in-law three times, and then set fire to herself. The poor eldest princess is extremely intelligent and magnificent, but in the end, she ended up like this!"

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan felt a little emotional in her heart. She didn't want to do this back then, but it was a pity that she had to do this for her younger brother!However, even if he did it again, he would still set himself on fire and let the world see the integrity of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty!
The eyes of the phoenix turned around, and Su Wan looked at Zhuru who had a look of regret in front of her, and said with a smile: "Then what happened afterwards? What happened after the eldest princess set herself on fire?"

Zhuru heaved a sigh of relief, and then said to Su Wan who was looking forward to the other side of the table: "Afterwards, the new emperor ascends the throne and announces to the world. Among them is the former Princess Jinghuang who mourned the death of Emperor Jing. Set fire on the banquet table and set yourself on fire."

There was a sneer at the corner of Su Wan's mouth, the reason that King Ruyang came up with was too stupid.But he can't be blamed, the fire that he was on the green banquet stage at that time was too big, and he couldn't cover it at all.

I just heard Zhuru go on to say: "On top of that edict, His Majesty now conferred the posthumous title of Princess Jinghuang as Princess Jingguo, and built an ancestral hall in the suburbs of Beijing for the people of the world to pay homage to. The princess is pretty good too."

Zhu Ru's words made Su Wan's sneer even worse. Zhu Ru is just a very ordinary maid. Seeing that King Ru Yang canonized herself as the eldest princess of Jingguo and built a ancestral hall for herself, she felt that King Ru Yang treated her well.

However, everything that King Ruyang owns now is taken away from him!If he hadn't entered the capital in the name of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty back then, he would still be a majestic princess today, not the clay sculpture in the ancestral hall in the suburbs of Beijing!
Although she was not angry in her heart, Su Wan couldn't show it, and could only echo Zhuru's opinion, "Exactly, His Majesty is really good to the people of the previous dynasty!" When she said these words, Su Wan's heart ached. All bleeding!

Back then, King Ruyang harmed his whole family, but now he still wants to say yes, if he can't get revenge in this life, what face will he have to see his father and mother under the nine springs?
Zhuru was already immersed in the story, and never noticed the killing intent in Su Wan's eyes.She continued on her own: "The conflict between General Huo and the eldest princess was all because of this incident."

Su Wan took a deep breath, calmed down and asked, "Could it be that Yun Jingya disagreed with the canonization, but Huo Jing insisted on the canonization, so the two clashed in the court?"

Zhuru shook her head, and said slowly: "It is said that Princess Jingya also admires Princess Jinghuang very much, so she very much agrees with the canonization. But Princess Jingya thinks that she is not inferior to Princess Jinghuang in terms of talent, knowledge, appearance and character, so she decided to Change the word Jing in the name to Jing, which is the same word as the former eldest princess."

Hearing this, Su Wanfeng's eyes turned and the corners of her mouth smiled.At the Nobile Banquet, I have seen Yun Jingya's way of handling things. If she hadn't had her jewels in front of her that night, Yun Jingya would have been in a dilemma that night.

And the Nobile Banquet has been held several times in his own hands, and nothing has ever happened.This alone is enough to show that Yun Jingya's ability cannot be compared with her own, let alone others.

What's more, if you really think that you are not inferior to yourself, why do you have to change the word Jing in your name to Jing word?It can be seen that in Yun Jingya's heart, although she is dead, she is her eternal goal.

Thinking of this, Su Wan asked: "So that's the case. However, the title of the princess is very important and cannot be changed at will. Could it be that General Huo was the only one who opposed it?"

Although the new emperor had just ascended the throne at that time, the change of the princess title was of great importance, even related to the fate of the country.If Huo Jing was the only one who objected, it would only prove that the civil servants in the Ruyang Dynasty had already been killed.

Standing in front of Su Wan, Zhuru shook her head, "It is said that the censors at the Yushitai disagreed, but they were only very tactful to persuade Princess Jingya not to change her title, but at that time Princess Jingya was extremely stubborn and did not listen to them at all. "

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan sneered in her heart, it seemed that these civil servants really became timid and cowardly.When the father was in the court, there were historians who spoke out and advised him almost every day.Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was such a big event as changing his title, he would only "tactfully" persuade him.

Zhuru continued: "Just when Her Royal Highness was entangled with the official historian, an extremely handsome young general stood out from the crowd. He didn't want to be euphemistic like those censors just now, but told Princess Jingya directly. No!"

Hearing Zhuru say that Huo Jing bluntly said that this move is not possible, Su Wan nodded slightly. After all, the soldiers are indeed much stronger than those cowardly literati who are frightened by blood.

I only heard Zhuru continue to say: "The young general is General Huo. He advised Princess Jingya, bluntly saying that Princess Jinghuang's integrity is unmatched, and virtuousness is rare in the world. Now she has been posthumously named Princess Jingguo by His Majesty, Then Princess Jingya should avoid taboo."

Su Wan never thought that the lazy young man who was drinking in the Buddhist temple that day had such a sharp side, and she couldn't help feeling a little fond of him, "Princess Jingya should be angry at that time, how could she easily spare General Huo? "

Zhuru reached out to pick up the scissors, cut off a piece of the lantern in the candlelight, and then said to Su Wan: "Princess Jingya was furious when she heard Huo Jing's words, and shouted at the guards to drive Huo Jing out of the palace." But all the ministers knelt down one after another, and Princess Jingya withdrew her order. Otherwise, General Huo Jing might have died in Jiuquan."

Hearing this, Su Wanyu moved her fingers lightly, and the golden dark flowers on her body glowed with a strange light.Yun Jingya is so thoughtless in doing things, and even wants to be compared with herself, she is simply overestimating her abilities!

Putting down the scissors in her hand, Zhuru then said to Su Wan: "Although Huo Jingjun was not dragged out of the palace, Princess Jingya thought of another plan and told General Huo that if she wanted to avoid taboo, then the name of General Huo There is also a word jing in it, which should also be avoided."

Seeing the flames on the candle getting bigger and bigger, Su Wanfeng blinked lightly. Unexpectedly, this Yun Jingya had a bit of quick wit, and could think of such a sharp question in such a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Su Wanxiu frowned slightly, and crossed her fingers on the table, "Then how did General Huo escape this disaster?" If Huo Jing hadn't escaped this disaster, Huo Jing would not be called Huo Jing now.

Hearing Su Wan ask this question, Zhuru's eyes flashed with admiration, and she even raised her voice a little, "When General Huo heard this question, he gave an extremely impassioned answer, and in the end Princess Jingya gave up the change because of this. title."

From the little fox at the beginning to the shield later, Huo Jing was an extremely smart person in front of him.This little thing is not a problem for him.It's just that Su Wan was very interested, how did Huo Jing escape this disaster?
