Riding the Pheonix Chapter 299: The truth

"This matter begins twenty years ago." Fu Jin said slowly, "Emperor Taizu conquered the world, proclaimed himself emperor in Yunjing, made the eldest son the prince, the second son the king of Qin, and the third son the king of Jin King. Fast forward more than twenty years, and the three people who were brothers and brothers in the early years finally started to have disputes over imperial power."

"When Emperor Taizu was fighting for the world, the three princes were only in their early ten years, but they followed them all the way to the north and the south. Emperor Taizu knew that it was easy to conquer the world, but difficult to dominate the world, so he invited great scholars early to teach the three princes. The three princes are all smart, so they understand both government affairs and military matters."

"I thought that with such outstanding descendants, it would be a matter of time for Da Qi to dominate the world. Who would have thought that the three princes were so outstanding that they were unwilling to be inferior to others, but instead started internal strife. In the 27th year of Yuankang , someone falsely accused the prince of telling the truth while drunk, claiming that he had been the prince for more than 20 years and did not know when it would end."

"Emperor Taizu was furious and issued an edict to depose the prince, demote him to a commoner, and move to Yizhou. The prince went to Yizhou to defend himself, and then went to Yizhou with his wife, the emperor's eldest grandson and his family. Emperor Taizu was originally On impulse, I read the prince's self-defense, and was reminded by a close minister. Knowing that the prince was unjust, he ordered someone to take his family back to Beijing."

Speaking of this, Fu Jin sighed: "How could I have known that the prince encountered robbers on his way back to the capital, and his whole family died. When the commander of the imperial army arrived, no one was left alive."

Noting that Yang Shu's expression was a little strange, Mingwei quietly reached out her hand and covered his right hand that was clenched into a fist under the table.

Feeling her body temperature, Yang Shu's dazed eyes met hers, and the worry in her eyes finally calmed him down.

"Then what?" he asked hoarsely.

"That year, I happened to be going to Santai Academy to study, and I happened to take that path. When the group of thieves appeared, I was behind. However, with my little skills as a three-legged cat, I was able to fight off a few thieves. Okay, nothing can compare with the real masters around the prince." Fu Jin laughed at himself, "In short, those masters failed to save the prince's family. When I arrived, there were only four living people at the scene."

Fu Jin looked at the people around the round table: "The prince who is only alive, the second son of the eldest princess who got the news and came to the rescue, that is, the second master of the Yang family, and..." His eyes fell on Yang Shu's body is "the mother and son of the eldest grandson concubine who gave birth to a baby son due to fetal movement."

Fu Jin temporarily stopped speaking, and there was silence in the small room.

After a long time, Xuan Fei said softly: "No wonder it is such a fate. Judging from the fate, he should have been dead long ago."

Fu Jin continued calmly: "The prince seems to be dying, and he doesn't know if there is any help behind him. He asked us to leave quickly. For the sake of our past friendship, if we save the lives of Concubine Changsun, mother and son, we can leave some for him. Bloodline. At that time, the second master of the Yang family had been seriously injured. We took the eldest grandson, mother and son, and barely escaped from the scene. Fortunately, we met someone sent by the eldest princess to pick them up on the road, and we successfully brought them back to the capital."

When everyone heard this, they let out a sigh of relief. Even though the people in the story were sitting here, they were still infected by the tense atmosphere while listening to the story.

"When the news reached the capital, Emperor Taizu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Before the murderer was found, we did not dare to expose Concubine Changsun and her son to the public, so we hid them for a while. At the same time, a **** storm broke out in the capital. First, the King of Qin was convicted, and Emperor Taizu personally ordered him to be exiled. Not long after King Qin left the capital, he died in exile. Then the King of Jin was imprisoned and finally committed suicide. The three princes who had placed high hopes on them fell apart like this, in just a few short years. The moon has gone away completely."

For these people present, this past event can only be described as a story. They were too young, and when they learned about it, it had already become a description in a book, and it was difficult for them to understand the thrilling nature of it.

Listening to Fu Jin slowly speaking, I realized what kind of history this was for Da Qi.

Emperor Taizu has been in power for more than 20 years and has been vigorously developing troops. The three princes all know military skills. If such a thing had not happened, perhaps Da Qi would have unified the world.

"After that, Emperor Taizu issued an edict to confer King Zhao as the crown prince. Seeing that the matter had been settled, I planned to go to Santai Academy. As for the eldest grandson, mother and son, I left them to the eldest princess. As I thought , King Qin and King Jin are no longer here, and their mother and son are safe. Since ancient times, there has been an emperor’s grandson, but there is no such thing as an emperor’s great-grandson. There is no need for King Zhao to harm their mother and son.”

When Jiang Wenfeng heard this, he nodded in agreement.

No matter how legitimate the original prince was, since Emperor Taizu has issued an edict to confer the new prince, he is legitimate. There are those who love their grandsons enough to confer the title of grandson, but there are no people who love them enough to confer the title of great-grandson. In fact, passing down blood from father to son is a legitimate bloodline inheritance, even if it is passed down from ancestor to grandson, it is not so legitimate.

"However, I soon heard that the second master of the Yang family died of injuries caused by falling from a horse. Not long after, the second wife gave birth to a posthumous son and died of postpartum hemorrhage. As for the eldest grandson, mother and son, there has been no news. It passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of the year, Emperor Taizu mourned the loss of his three sons and lingered on his bed ~IndoMTL.com~ He passed away not long after. Amidst the grief of the whole country, King Zhao ascended the throne as emperor for the present."

The story is almost finished here, but there are still several key doubts that have not been answered.

Jiang Wenfeng asked: "Sir, where did the eldest grandson, mother and son go?"

"I was also very confused about this question back then. I sent a message to ask the eldest princess, but the eldest princess told me that there was no more mother and son in the world, and she asked me to forget their existence. However, I am not an idiot. I heard that The new emperor made Pei's daughter his concubine, what else don't you understand?"

The Pei family's direct branch only has two daughters. One daughter is married to the emperor's eldest grandson, and the other is the eldest princess's second daughter-in-law. If one of them dies, then there is only one left.

As for that child, what status is more secure than that of the eldest princess’s direct grandson?

At this point, Yang Shu spoke for the first time: "Sir, are you so sure that the child my mother gave birth to is no longer here?"

The mother he is talking about here refers to the second wife of the Yang family.

Fu Jin said with a smile: "I haven't set foot in the capital for twenty years, so I don't know the inside story. It is indeed possible. However, when I met you, I knew that both the mother and son of the second lady should have died."

He looked at Yang Shu: "Your appearance completely combines the characteristics of your father and mother. However, as time goes by, not many people remember the appearance of the emperor's eldest grandson."

Yang Shu thought of the wizard. Did he recognize the emperor's eldest grandson, so he opened his mouth to reveal his identity? That's why Concubine Pei was so scared.

So, who also knows?

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

So, for the past three years, he has always known who he was, but watched him mistakenly think that he was his illegitimate son?

What a ridiculous truth, how can he deal with it? ...
