"I have heard about the past events of Shizong and Shenzong." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while and said to Concubine De, "It seems to me that the reason why Shenzong slaughtered the legs and feet immediately after he ascended the throne is probably not only Otherwise, he will not be able to take revenge, and even more, he will be able to prevent the throne from returning to his brothers and nephews one day... I suspect that the reason why Shenzong did not have his own blood to spread to the east is probably because he was harmed by others. Moreover, who is the real culprit? After Shenzong ascended the throne, there was no way to find out."
Because I have never seen Shenzong, and seizing the throne is always a tragic event, it is not uncommon for the winner to massacre the loser.
Therefore, although Yun Fenghuang had heard that after Shenzong proclaimed himself emperor before entering the palace, he immediately eagerly killed almost all of Shizong's flesh and blood except for himself, but he never became suspicious.
But in the east of the eye, combined with the imperial edict left in King Mao's leg and the attitude of the Empress Dowager in those confinement days, she suddenly thought that since Shenzong was known as a wise king, he had actually done many things that benefited the country and the people during his reign, and he had After forcing his stepmother to death and slaughtering his closest relatives, he was able to steadily suppress his clan members and ministers, which can be seen from the city government of Legs.
Such an emperor, would he not be able to see the shortcomings of the weak number of members of the royal family
It doesn't matter if he and his prince's heirs are prosperous.
However, there were only two so-called princes in Shenzong's knees. Xiaozong didn't even have a son or a daughter in his knees even when Shenzong died.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously unwise for Dong to rashly kill close relatives.
If it is said that because Xiaozong and the regent are not Shenzong's biological flesh and blood, Shenzong does not care about the situation of the two fake princes and their bloodline after his death... Shenzong himself is not the bloodline of Gongxiang family after all.
When he was in power, he was very concerned about running the country. Even if he didn't plan for his unrelated descendants, why should he do it for the royal family
Thinking like that, it is unreasonable for Shenzong to kill the originally flourishing main branch into a meager one.
Unless he has a certain reason for doing so.
Since it doesn't make sense based on interests, it can be explained based on feelings.
And a prince like Shenzong would not let the main branch of the Gongxiang family suffer a rapid decline or even lose power because of ordinary grievances, and be threatened by side branches, important ministers and even powerful officials.
Could it be that some grudge or grudge made him worry about the future of the imperial power
I'm afraid that only if there is hatred of extermination of the heir can this be justified.
Shenzong only started to participate in the fight for the crown prince after he got married, which is why everyone didn't care about him at all at first.
A prince who is not favored is already married and has become a feudal lord. What kind of trouble will he cause
When Xiaozong was born, Shenzong had already emerged, and it had been several years since his wedding.
Yun Fenghuang speculated that Shenzong Keke was deceived before her wedding, or not long after her wedding. After Shenzong came to the throne, many years had passed, and in addition to the people who died in the battle, Shenzong could not find the exact enemy.
Why did he choose to kill all his brothers, nephews, and most of his sisters, nieces, and nephews
"The brothers and sisters of Shenzong were all suspected of plotting to murder him. Therefore, after the late Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne, he immediately eradicated those people." Yun Fenghuang said as he thought, "Shenzong's move is obviously a no-no. To prevent the future emperor's throne from falling into the hands of the heirs of those who want to kill him."
"And Xiaozong and the regent are not of Shenzong blood... Shenzong needed heirs to stabilize people's hearts in order to seek the throne."
"Maybe Shenzong is afraid that he doesn't want the throne to fall into the hands of outsiders from now on."
"The reason why Xiaozong had no heirs seems not necessarily because of Ji Sheng's actions, not necessarily because of Ji's actions, but because of the arrangements of the late Emperor Shenzong."
Concubine De said puzzledly: "What about the regent? Can the regent be of benefit to the king and the Marquis of Yongchun?"
Yun Fenghuang said slowly: "King Yi... he has been married for several years. Is there any movement in the east of his knees?"
"..." Concubine De was reminded and couldn't help being surprised, "No, it has been some time since Marquis Yongchun got married, and his wife is not of high birth. The whole family is looking forward to giving birth to a child soon, but there is no news!"
"Having grown up in front of the late Emperor Shenzong, I must have some feelings for him." Yun Fenghuang said, "Xiaozong inherited the throne and could not have any more male heirs. So Xiaozong had no heirs throughout his life and adopted Bidong as the emperor. The throne of emperor returns to the descendants of the Gongxiang family."
"And the regent is not the emperor, so he was allowed to have a baby once, but that's it..."
The kindness of Shenzong's two adopted sons was almost the same.
Is it possible to allow the heirs of those two people to go eastward for thousands of generations just like the true bloodline of the Gongxiang family
Concubine De bit her lip and said, "But... Princess Yushan?"
If Shenzong could tolerate the regent's two sons, why couldn't he tolerate the young daughter of a fake princess
The princess seemed noble, but in fact, the previous dynasty had not granted titles to the daughters of foreign ministers.
For example, Yun Fenghuang's niece Xie Kuo was even welcomed as a princess.
"...Perhaps those two Yun'an and Sui'an don't have much time in front of the Empress Dowager?" Yun Fenghuang hesitated and speculated, "I remember that when the regent forced King Yi, there was always an incident in Buhuang. The Empress Dowager, will you come forward to protect King Yi?"
She herself has adopted several children who are not related by blood, so she has quite a lot of experience. "How can we be ruthless if we are not just grass and trees? Even if we raise the children for different reasons at first, over time, they will have some feelings for each other." King Yi often went to and from the palace when he was young. , it can be said that the Empress Dowager watched him grow up. The Empress Dowager could not help but dote on him. As for Yongchun Marquis, the regent did not know whether he had known about his family's life experience for a long time, or whether out of other considerations, he had always treated him He is hiding in the house and has no contact with the outside world at all, so naturally he cannot hinder anyone or anything."
"Keep it for cover, it will be of some use."
"Compared to Dong, the so-called daughters of the Xiaozong are not very useful, but Minghui has caused a lot of trouble for Dong."
