Even Xiao Xuan didn't realize that at this moment, he was a little bit hoping that the girl would be able to produce what he had been looking for.
Xie Yunqing was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Before I can tell the answer, can I ask the manpower sent by the little prince, where did you start to look for it before?"
Xiao Xuan said: "The palace people who served by the emperor's life, the most respected courtiers, and even the emperor's grandmother, I have beaten side by side."
"Didn't the little prince ever think that the emperor's imperial edict has always been in the palace, and he has never given it to anyone." Xie Yunqing said slowly.
"How is it possible," Xiao Xuan frowned, "If it were in the palace, your Majesty would have found it long ago."
"The emperor and the prince Yu, who were still the princes at the time, are the eldest son of the first emperor. Although he may not be so talented, but fortunately, he is the first to enter the court among the princes, and he is most loved by the courtiers. Prince Yu is the youngest son of the first emperor, because he is most like the first emperor, and he is smart and quick. He is most liked by the first emperor. The first emperor has revealed the meaning of Prince Yu as the prince more than once. However, because of his young age, he still Indeterminate, all the ministers felt that it was inappropriate to make Prince Yu the prince."
"The emperor was unhappy in his heart, but the ministers petitioned him and he couldn't ignore it, so he temporarily put aside Prince Li Yu's plan to be the prince. He planned to wait a few more years and waited for the Prince Yu to be tempered and made the Prince Yu his prince. However, even the Emperor Xian did not expect that he would die so quickly by accident."
Xie Yunqing said, she stated in a manly voice, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"The first emperor died so quickly. It has only been two months since he rejected the courtiers' request to be the reserve today. The little prince wouldn't think this was really an accident."
Naturally it was not an accident, Xiao Xuan knew it well.
The emperor intends to make his father as the reserve. While this incident caused the emperor to panic, he also developed hatred for the emperor and his father. The Heavenly Family had no family affection. Since the first emperor was unwilling to make him a reserve, the emperor also tore off the veil that had been disguised for many years and began to attack the first emperor.
The emperor bought the two eunuchs who served by the emperor's side, and let them poison the tea that the emperor drank daily. The poison was not very toxic, but it happened that they could not be used together with the blind spices in the incense that the emperor was burning in his bed. . Tianzi sniffed the incense, which stimulated the flow of toxicity in the body.
The first emperor started to feel weak in less than half a month. The officials thought that the first emperor was too tired and persuaded him to rest for a few days, and the first emperor ordered the emperor to handle political affairs on his behalf. Since the emperor had the power, how could he let it go, and immediately planted his own hands in the sixth department of the central court, and secretly rearranged the palace's defenses.
This can be hidden from others, but regarding the emperor's redeployment of the palace defense, no one can be more sensitive than Xie Yong.
Xie Yong discovered the problem at the time and wanted to tell the emperor, but at that time the emperor had already begun to control the palace where the emperor lived. He refused to let anyone visit the emperor on the pretext that the emperor needed to meditate.
Although Xie Yong felt that there was a problem at the time, he did not think about the emperor's attempt to usurp the throne, and immediately left the palace.
The emperor felt uneasy about Xie Yong, so he ordered Xie Yong to go to the East China Sea to calm the disaster of the refugees. Xie Yong had just arrived in the East China Sea and had not lived in the East China Sea for less than a month before he heard the news of the death of the first emperor.
He didn't even see the first emperor for the last time.
Xie Yong rushed around the clock
Back to the capital, he could only bow to the emperor in front of the coffin of the first emperor, as a courtesy that a courtier could only express.
After the death of the first emperor, the eunuch of the first emperor took out the imperial edict and handed it to Lu Botao, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion at the time, to read it out in public. Although the courtiers were puzzled, didn't the first emperor be in favor of Prince Yu in the first place? But after thinking about it, I'm afraid it was the first emperor who was still worried about Prince Yu in the end, thinking that the emperor was more stable.
The ministers were also more supportive of the emperor originally, except for a few people who raised doubts, and basically had no objections. So the emperor held his ascension to the throne a month later and began his life as a king for nearly 20 years.
Xiao Xuan found out these things with great difficulty. First of all, it was arguing from the old people in the palace, and then according to the clues, he asked the nine-door admiral who was dismissed by the emperor that year, only to know that the emperor reorganized the imperial guard in the palace. Including the emperor's dispatch of his father Xie Yong to the East China Sea, this kind of thing can be just sent by an imperial commissioner, but Xie Yong, who is a first-class national duke, is sent to the emperor. This small act of the emperor is all for himself to kill the emperor and usurp the throne. intend.
The first emperor only asked the emperor to take care of political affairs, but the emperor secretly made so many arrangements, and the deep meaning is self-evident.
Xiao Xuan said: "I have checked these for a long time before finding out, and because I have found so many, I questioned whether the edict on the paper was true or not."
"At the beginning, most people supported the emperor's ascension to the throne, so there is no doubt about the authenticity of the paper edict." Xie Yunqing played with the glass cup, her hands were slender and white against the clear glass cup, which looked exceptional. Looks good.
Xiao Xuan's eyes were also attracted by the small and soft hand. The girl's hands were white and delicate, her fingers were as long as scallions, and her nails were neatly constructed. There were no kotan or powder, and there were five shallow flesh on the back of her hand. nest. Xiao Xuan resisted the desire to reach out and wrap the girl's soft pancreas.
Xie Yunqing did not notice the expression in Xiao Xuan’s eyes, and continued: “The emperor knew this very well at the time, but when he joined the emperor, he really wanted to make the emperor as a reserve. Why didn’t he say it when he was alive, but left a legacy. What? The emperor probably knew that the first emperor could not make him a reserve for a long time, so he decided to take the first step against the first emperor."
"So, the first emperor must have left a will at the beginning, and that will be the real **. The little prince has been looking for things for so long. Don't you know that the emperor is also looking for it. Since the emperor has not found it, then it means When the first emperor was about to die, he was wary of the emperor, or that the first emperor was also suspicious of the people around him. Then at that moment, the first emperor would not be able to hand over his will to the eunuch next to him. "
"The first emperor was already imprisoned at that time, and he couldn't even get out of his own bedroom. It means that the edict is still in the room where the first emperor died."
Xie Yunqing analytically said.
Xiao Xuan nodded with his chin in his hand, and said, "I have imagined this, but the emperor can't miss this level. He must have searched the first emperor's palace, but he couldn't find it. What about me? Could it be found? So I gave up that room first."
"The first emperor also took a lot of thought back then, little prince, guess again, which part of a room is the least likely to be dismantled?"
Emperor looking for
Without the real imperial edict, he would naturally have trouble sleeping and eating. Out of prudent consideration, he changed all the furnishings in the emperor's palace. Then the only thing that can’t be changed is—
"Fang Liang?" Xiao Xuan was startled.
Xie Yunqing nodded, and she looked up at the roof beams above her head. The roof beams were the foundation that supported the internal structure of a building. Unless the emperor wanted to rebuild the house, it was impossible to remove the beams.
"The little prince might as well jump on the beam. If I remember correctly, Prince Yu is the ninth son of the first emperor, then the ninth beam is the most likely." Xie Yunqing said.
Xiao Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Why, you seem to be familiar with all of this, and even know it well."
Xie Yun knew early in the morning that Xiao Xuan would ask like this. Xiao Xuan was never a fool. Xie Yunqing was determined to sit in front of Xiao Xuan and negotiate terms with him, and he planned to be questioned by Xiao Xuan.
Xie Yunqing said: "Probably I fell into the water not long ago. I felt that I was taken away by the ghost. When I arrived at the Yin Cao Mansion, I looked through the records of life and death and found that our Xie family ended up miserably. I was naturally shocked and very upset. After reading a few pages quickly, I realized that Xie’s family was not killed because of the emperor’s suspicion and jealousy, and found that the emperor’s hands were still stained with the blood of the first emperor and the prince Yu. I fled back the same way. I opened my eyes again and returned to my body."
Xie Yunqing calmly told a lie, and naturally concealed the fact that he married Xiao Yu. Xiao Xuan wanted to show signs of lying in her eyes, but found that the girl’s pupils were calm and indifferent, like the deepest lake, as if anything. Neither can cause any waves.
Xiao Xuan wouldn't believe these ghosts and gods, but he couldn't think of a second reason.
Xie Yunqing was not the right age. When the first emperor died, he was not even born yet. How could Xie Yunqing witness it? It is even more impossible for other people to tell her a little girl. Even assuming that Xie Yunqing had overheard it, after so many years, even if someone really knew about it, how could he treat his life as a trifle, dare to come up with this kind of thing that could bring disaster to himself
Xiao Xuan couldn’t think of a second reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it, “As you said, I’ll find the ** edict, this little box for you. When I get the real ** edict, you and me Give your terms."
Xie Yunqing smiled and took the small box that Xiao Xuan handed over. She gently rubbed the carved pattern on the surface of the box and said softly: "The conditions I put forward are good for each of us. I know the ambition of the little prince, but I It's just a girl. My ambitions are not big. I just hope that our Xie family will be safe and not go through those hardships again. As long as the little prince realizes his ambitions and does not learn what he is today, I will be grateful."
"The emperor is what I hate most," Xiao Xuan said, "I respect the ** father for the Great Zhou for more than 30 years. I have used ** father as a model and learn from him. Don’t worry, I don’t. Will start with the **."
Xie Yunqing put down the glaze cup in his hand, and when he got up to leave, he said again: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation." Although Xiao Xuan looked like a rascal, he was also considered to be more respectful than those sanctimonious hypocrites. It is Guangfeng Jiyue, which is why Xie Yunqing believes in Xiao Xuan.
