Jiang Yashuang was horrified!
"How can it be?!"
No wonder he was so surprised - in the eyes of Emperor Zhaode and King Lao Ji, his great-uncle was an absolute elder brother and like a father, and he was regarded as his biological father! And it's the kind of filial son who treats his biological father.
Although it is said that when the news of King Dun's death reached the capital, he was already ill at that time due to the shock of King Lao Ji's death. Emperor Zhaode's collapse worsened, and his condition worsened to the point where everyone in the Jiang family was preparing for his funeral. But even in this situation, Emperor Zhaode still insisted on asking about the causes and consequences of his brother's death!
Emperor Zhaode's interrogation was of course not just about the person who reported the news, he must have inquired among his confidants privately!
Moreover, "When my great-uncle passed away, my eldest brother was in Kui County!"
Although King Lao Dun had three descendants, namely, the first, second, and fifth branches, due to the unworthy stepmothers, although the first, second, and fifth brothers were brothers, their relationship with each other was completely different!
In Qianrui Nahui, the second and fifth brothers were never able to serve as officials. The most direct reason was that Jiang Tianao used the excuse that his brothers and sisters had been abused by their stepmother, forcing King Lao Dun to personally stop the future of the two legitimate sons!
Under such circumstances, how could Jiang Yayun, who was in Kui County at the time, help the second and fifth families conceal the truth that they had made King Lao Dun angry to death? ! It must be a revelation!
As for Jiang Yayun, he doesn't know either - Jiang Yashuang thinks this possibility is very small. As the eldest brother of the Jiang family, Jiang Yayun, although he is not an amazing talent, is not an ordinary person either! This can be seen from the fact that when he later realized that something was wrong, he killed his biological daughter Jiang Huizhi to express his surrender to the fourth house: from a father's point of view, he was unqualified; but from the standpoint of preserving the entire big house , he is both decisive and current.
Especially Concubine Dun, she is still alive! The reason Jiang Yayun returned to her hometown at that time was that she pretended to be seriously ill and had to "take care of the illness". With such a step-grandmother who had absolutely bad intentions for Dafang, how could Jiang Yayun not pay attention to her grandfather's movements when he was in Kui County, so as not to find no one when he asked for help
"Of course I can't hide this from Yayun!" Seeing that the tea bowl had reached the bottom, Emperor Jianjia waved to his son to come up and pour hot tea for him, and said calmly, "Later, my grandchildren will be filial piety, so it's not a big mistake to live in a big house." Did you take the second and fifth bedrooms to Beijing as usual? You made some guesses at that time, right?"
Jiang Yashuang frowned and said: "This matter really made the children and the others feel weird at the time. It's just that the behavior of the people from the second and fifth rooms after they arrived in Beijing, I really can't see any specific intention. After that, things happened one after another, so Don’t worry about it anymore!”
After he poured the tea, he simply did not return to his seat. He stood beside the throne and asked, "Father, you don't know what the second and fifth brothers did to make my great-uncle angry to death, but the eldest brother didn't do anything to them?"
"What the two brothers did is nothing in the big family - they were just having an affair with your great-uncle's concubine, and your great-uncle happened to bump into him. As he gets older, he can't help but get excited, and something happened on the spot. !" Emperor Jianjia said calmly, "Your nephew Jing Zhan was not assassinated, he committed suicide out of fear of crime! It is his wife Xiao Jin who committed suicide because of Jing Zhan. I had a conversation with her, but I was afraid that she would know the truth and just shut up!"
"Even her mother-in-law, her biological aunt, drowned in Jinghu Lake for no apparent reason after coming to Beijing? She was also silenced. After all, her biological son was gone and her husband had a new love. A hopeless woman might inform! "
There were so many messy things going on in the Jiang family. Jiang Yashuang didn't have any thoughts after hearing what happened. She only asked, "Then why did the big house let them go and help hide it?"
"Isn't the family in a state of strife at that time?" Emperor Jianjia asked back, "Although Princess Dun is a country woman and has little knowledge, she is still decisive when pressed. Your eldest brother used small favors to bribe Jingman to ventilate him. After reporting the news, he knew about the second and fifth families, so he acted on the safe side. He knew that Kui County was the place where the second and fifth families had been entrenched for many years. Even though he had the identity of the eldest grandson, he had his step-grandmother, two uncles and aunts. "Look, I wanted to do something on my own while my disciple nephew was watching. I might be seeking death! So I sent someone to deliver the letter quietly to the capital - but my people intercepted it on the way!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yashuang already understood: "In this way, the eldest brother will not be able to wait for the uncle's reply, giving the second and fifth bedrooms a chance to breathe... But did the father just send someone to steal the letter?"
"Of course it's impossible!" Emperor Jianjia said, "After snatching the letter, my men took the letter and went to find Concubine Dun quietly - so I just said that although Concubine Dun was from a humble background, she was not a virtuous woman. How could she survive? At this age, you can still make a decision after hearing the letter!"
Jiang Yashuang sighed - can you not take refuge? Jiang Yayun could expose this matter, but couldn't Sifang
Originally, Emperor Zhaode hated Concubine Dun, so much so that even his successor, Empress Tao, was implicated. You must know that this step-sister's biological descendant actually pissed off his biological brother who he regarded as his biological father. He might have been thinking about it. After all, it was for the sake of my own brother’s bloodline that I would not kill the second and fifth bedrooms, but I would definitely not spare Princess Atsushi!
Moreover, even if the second and fifth houses can survive, their future is over!
The second and fifth families were originally unable to serve as officials because of the eldest family. They were very worried. Once King Lao Dun passed away, they would not be able to serve as officials. However, the eldest family and his family became officials and had all kinds of prosperity - Without daddy's protection, what will Dafang do to deal with them? !
If you offend the uncle who heads the family again, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Such a simple truth, Princess Atsushi can definitely understand it as long as her IQ is normal.
Therefore, of course, she must decisively turn to Emperor Jianjia - besides, they are afraid of being retaliated by the first room, so it is a good thing to be able to rely on the fourth room, and maybe they are a little bit eager to do so!
Then, Princess Dun, who had been advised by Emperor Jianjia's people, came to Jiang Yayun with the letter that he wanted to secretly send to Beijing for a showdown: "I know you are restless! Don't deny it—I have the letter in my hand!"
When the matter developed to this point, Jiang Yayun did not want to expose the second and fifth houses but failed. His family was reported as "died violently in his hometown" first. If the white-haired person Jiang Tianyao in Beijing sent the black-haired person, he had to give them a certificate. ! To ensure that the second and fifth bedrooms will not be sold later!
Faced with the threat of life, Jiang Yayun naturally succumbed - there are never many people in this world who are truly not afraid of death. And considering the entire Dafang, he couldn't die: Dafang had three sons in total, two legitimate sons and one concubine. Before that, the second legitimate son Jiang Yayue had already died in Xijiang, and the concubine Jiang Yahong's thoughts had been hidden. Tucked away, I am not someone who seriously considers a big house.
If Jiang Yayun also died, especially if his eldest son Jiang Jingxu was also in Kui County at the time, once the father and son were dead, the elder would no longer have to think about which room to fight with. Jiang Tianao had to survive one after another with white hair. Let’s talk about the pain of the black-haired man!
So Jiang Yayun finally cut his grandfather's body with a sword - in this era when filial piety is paramount, even if King Lao Dun is dead, his behavior can be called crazy! He will be dragged out and hanged, his name will be crossed out from the family tree after death, and he will be hung on the wall for hundreds of years...
What's more, Princess Dun also asked him to write down the entire incident and stamp it with his fingerprints
After handing over the double handle, Jiang Yayun contacted Jingli again. At this time, he was not exposing what the second and fifth bedrooms had done, but asking his father to help cover up the matter!
Dafang couldn't afford to lose another legitimate son, especially a legitimate grandson - so Jiang Tianao had to agree even if he didn't agree!
"Later, the eldest family brought people from the second and fifth bedrooms to Beijing. Was it Princess Dun's request?" Jiang Yashuang now understood why the second and fifth bedrooms came to the capital - to say that the eldest family felt that they were related to the third family. Fang and Fourth Fang were having a hard time fighting here. I remembered that I still had two brothers. If I planned to bring them to the capital to be helpers, I didn't see Dafang helping them after that
Besides, the people from the second and fifth rooms don’t look like they can help the first room...
"So I say she is just a woman after all! She only wants to climb the ladder!" Sure enough, Emperor Jianjia said calmly, "My people gave her advice to overcome the difficulties, and she immediately proposed that her son should become an official - without thinking about that time Your imperial grandfather is still here, and it is your imperial grandfather’s promise to your great-uncle to prevent him from serving as an official. How can I say that? Wouldn’t it be exposing my involvement?”
"What's more, the second and fifth bedrooms know that they have no hope of official career. They have stayed in Sangzi for many years and lived a fine life. Their ambitions have long been worn away. They are not very good at reading and have no outstanding talents. They just become officials. It's okay to be a minor official with the power of the Jiang family, but are they willing to just be a minor official?"
Emperor Jianjia mocked, "My subordinate doesn't want to quarrel with Princess Dun, but he also doesn't want her to have her own whims and cause trouble! So I told her that if the second and fifth bedrooms become officials, your emperor's grandfather must let go! And your emperor's grandfather most importantly She likes her juniors to do well in their studies, so she was originally meant to remind her to stay on her own terms and teach her children and grandchildren well! But in the end, she forced Jiang Yayun to bring your two cousins and their families to Beijing while she was negotiating terms with Dafang, hoping that Chang would be there. Your imperial grandfather became familiar with me so that he could get rid of the ban on the second and fifth bedrooms! Then he put the children under your door to listen to the class... "
Thinking about the weird attitude between the fifth brother Jiang Yawan, his youngest son Jiang Jingman, and Jiang Yayun, Jiang Yashuang finally understood it all. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed the center of his brow again: "Then, my father suddenly said I remember this old thing, but I don’t know what you mean?”
"Have you ever thought about how our people could intercept that letter that even the second and fifth houses that have been operating in Kui County for many years didn't notice?" Emperor Jianjia looked at his son quietly, but still said words that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic. .
