Because there was a banquet for the Huns tomorrow, Zhao Yao's riding and shooting practice in the afternoon was temporarily canceled, so he left the palace to find He Lianfang.
As soon as he arrived at He Lianfang's house, Zhao Yao couldn't wait to ask how the investigation went.
He Lianfang was a little surprised when she saw Zhao Yao coming at this time, and immediately handed Zhao Yao the news she had just received.
"look by youself."
Zhao Yao's heart suddenly sank when he saw He Lianfang's expression not looking good, and he quickly took the letter and read it. After reading the letter, his face turned red with anger, and he cursed through gritted teeth: "How dare the Yuan family collaborate with the enemy and treason!!!"
He Lianfang said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that the Yuan family would collude with the Huns."
The letter in his hand was distorted by Zhao Yao, and he said angrily: "The Yuan family is really good at pretending."
The Yuan family is one of the four major families in Beijing, but it is not as good as the other three families, namely the Xie family, the Wang family, and the Xun family.
In the previous dynasty, the Yuan family was implicated by the Pei family because they were related by marriage to the Pei family, Concubine Pei's natal family. Although the Yuan family did not kill everyone like the Pei family, the Yuan family also suffered a lot of punishment, causing the Yuan family to fall from a first-rate world to a second-rate family.
Later, riots broke out in the previous dynasty, and the aristocratic families were inevitably involved in the troubled times. Logically speaking, in troubled times, there is no need to care about aristocratic families or ordinary people, but aristocratic families still care very much.
The Yuan family fell from a first-class family to a second-class family and was ridiculed by the wealthy families in the capital. The Yuan family will naturally try their best to restore their previous status. Fortunately, at this time, a general appeared in the Yuan family.
This general played a great role in quelling the rebellion and allowed the Yuan family to return to a first-class family after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, this general's life was not good, and he died of illness not long after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the emperor ascended the throne, the good concubine entered the palace, which completely restored the Yuan family's status as a first-class family.
He Lianfang was much calmer than Zhao Yao, "The Yuan family had collusion with the Huns during the previous dynasty."
Hearing what He Lianfang said, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Yao's mind, and he soon thought of another thing.
"So, the Pei family was framed by the Yuan family for collaborating with the enemy and treason. It was the Yuan family who really collaborated with the enemy and treason." It has long been found out that the Pei family was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
He Lianfang nodded slightly: "Yes, it's the Yuan family."
After hearing this, Zhao Yao's face became very ugly: "The Yuan family is really cruel." The Yuan family and the Pei family are related by marriage. In order to "eliminate" the suspicion of colluding with foreigners, they framed the Pei family, causing Pei to suffer. The family was killed by nine clans. "I don't understand why the Yuan family colluded with the Huns. What benefits did the Huns give them?"
He Lianfang raised the corner of her mouth and sneered: "Only the Yuan family knows this."
"Since the Yuan family had colluded with the Xiongnu, why didn't the Yuan family ask the Huns for help at that time to help the Yuan family ascend to the throne?" Zhao Yaochen said with a cold face, "It is impossible that the Yuan family did not have the idea of becoming emperor."
"One: At that time, the Huns were fighting among themselves and had no time to take care of the Yuan family. Two: If the Yuan family really asked the Huns for help, the Central Plains would be crushed by the Huns' cavalry. At that time, not only would the Yuan family not be able to ascend to the throne of God, but they would also be overthrown by the entire The Central Plains are filled with hatred, and the Yuan family will become criminals in history and will be cursed for generations to come, but the Yuan family does not dare to do this."
Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's analysis was correct, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, what a sanctimonious family like the Yuan family cares most about is the family reputation."
"The one who colluded with the Yuan family was the family of King Youxian, and King Youxian supported Xinmaodun Chanyu to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty." He Lianfang did not say any more after saying this, but there was a meaningful look on his face.
"When Dazhou and the Xiongnu fight, the Yuan family secretly tells King Youxian about Dazhou, and then Dazhou loses to the Xiongnu. Dazhou will then compensate a lot of things to the Xiongnu." Zhao Yao told He Lianfang just now Finishing what was left unfinished, he said, "At that time, as the [meritorious officials] of the Yuan family, they will definitely receive a lot of things from King Youxian."
"That's right."
Zhao Yao said with disgust on his face: "The Yuan family is really disgusting."
He Lianfang reminded Zhao Yao: "There is one more thing you didn't say."
Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Six!"
He Lianfang nodded lightly.
"King Youxian will help Sixth Brother sit on the throne." Zhao Yao laughed angrily, "The Yuan family really made a good plan."
"During the riots in the previous dynasty, the Yuan family did not dare to borrow the power of the Xiongnu to become emperor, but this does not mean that the Yuan family has given up. Now that the Yuan family has six princes, in the end the Yuan family will definitely borrow the power of King Youxian to get rid of those who block it. The obstacles in front of the Sixth Prince will help the Sixth Prince ascend the throne." He Lianfang said coldly, "This is the ultimate goal of the Yuan family."
"Compared to the Xie family and Wang family, the Yuan family is even more disgusting." Zhao Yao doesn't like the aristocratic family, but he has to say that the Xie family, Wang family, and Xun family are much better than the Yuan family. No matter how evil they do, the Xie family will never collude with foreigners. However, the Yuan family turned traitor to the country for their own interests.
"The Yuan family has been pretending very well over the years and has not been in the public eye." Although the Yuan family has returned to the status of a first-class family, they are very low-key and very obedient. You can do whatever the emperor asks you to do, and you can't do anything if the emperor doesn't ask you to do it.
"Grandfather and father were both deceived by the Yuan family." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he felt that what he said was wrong and corrected him, "No, the Yuan family deceived everyone."
"Now that you know that the Yuan family has colluded with the Huns, what are you planning to do? Tell your father directly?"
Zhao Yao shook his head and said: "There is no evidence, so we can't tell my father."
He pondered for a while and said: "Next, we will collect evidence that the Yuan family colluded with the Huns, and then we will kill all the Yuan family."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yao could be so calm, and He Lianfang felt relieved.
"Then it's up to you."
Zhao Yao took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to ask: "Second uncle, have you found out about the Southern Wei Dynasty?"
He Lianfang shook her head and said: "No, things related to the Southern Wei Dynasty seemed to have been completely wiped out, without leaving any trace."
"Why is this happening? What did the Southern Wei Dynasty do that caused the previous dynasty to destroy everything related to it?" Zhao Yao wondered in his heart, what heinous things did the Southern Wei Dynasty do that caused the previous dynasty to destroy everything? The emperor hated them so much.
"I don't know." He Lianfang, like Zhao Yao, had seen records about the Southern Wei Dynasty in historical materials, but only a few words were recorded.
"Second Uncle, do you think the Southern Wei Dynasty is related to the Huns?" Among the Huns who came to Dazhou, the one named Uwei was from the Southern Wei Dynasty, but he had always lived in the Huns. He is also related to Myna.
Based on Bage's temperament, he would never collude with the Huns in order to fight for the throne, so Bage's connection with Uwe must be because of the Southern Wei Dynasty. But what does Bago have to do with Southern Wei?
Zhao Yao once doubted whether the eighth prince's biological mother was related to the Southern Wei Dynasty, and went to investigate secretly. He found that the eighth prince's biological mother was an ordinary palace maid, and had nothing to do with the Southern Wei Dynasty, let alone the Xiongnu.
He later wondered if there was cooperation between the Southern Wei Dynasty and Ba Ge? The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty helped Bage fight for the throne, and after Bage became emperor, they helped the Southern Wei restore its status, or helped the Southern Wei do other things.
The news about the Southern Wei Dynasty has been completely eliminated, which shows that in the previous dynasty, the emperor of the previous dynasty had exterminated the Southern Wei people to death, but there were also some Southern Wei people who escaped and then lurked to develop their power. .
Now think about it, those things Bage did must have been helped by people from the Southern Wei Dynasty. Otherwise, how could Bage, an unpopular prince with no power, have the ability to do those things without anyone noticing?
The things Bage did were not simple, and they did not attract the attention of his father or anyone else. This shows that the power of the Southern Wei Dynasty behind Bage was very powerful.
He Lianfang saw Zhao Yao's thoughtful expression and did not interrupt him.
It stands to reason that Southern Wei is the force behind Bage, and he should not investigate. However, the power of Southern Wei is too mysterious and powerful. He must investigate what the purpose of Southern Wei is. Otherwise, if something happens to Bage, he will not be able to help at all. Not on.
"Second uncle, the affairs of Southern Wei must be investigated clearly." Zhao Yao frowned and said, "I feel that Southern Wei is very powerful."
"Powerful, where do you start talking about this?"
"Let's start with the Huns named Uwei. They are from the Southern Wei Dynasty, but they hold important positions in the royal court of the Huns, and are deeply trusted by King Zuo Xian." Zhao Yao could not tell He Lianfang about the eighth prince, "Second, Uncle, don’t you wonder why the previous dynasty exterminated all the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty?”
"What you said makes some sense." Zhao Yao told He Lianfang that she was somewhat interested in the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty. "I will send people to continue investigating the affairs of the Southern Wei Dynasty."
"Let our people in the Xiongnu investigate Uwei, so that we may be able to investigate some things about the Southern Wei Dynasty." Now being a myna is still useful to the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty will not kill the myna. However, it will be hard to say in the future.
"Okay." He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao and asked, "What do you think the Southern Wei people's purpose is?"
"The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were eliminated by the previous dynasty. Their first purpose was to restore their reputation and status. As for their second purpose, I don't know." Zhao Yao scratched his face and said, "I don't think they are simple. .”
He Lianfang nodded lightly, stopped talking about the Southern Wei people, and switched to tomorrow's luncheon.
Zhao Yao did not stay with He Lianfang for long and rushed back to the palace before evening.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he was called to have a meal by the eighth prince.
During dinner, Zhao Yao almost couldn't help but ask the eighth prince if he knew about the Southern Wei Dynasty several times, but he finally held back.
After dinner, the eighth prince personally poured Zhao Yao a cup of tea and said to him in a gentle tone: "What do you want to say to me?"
Zhao Yao, who was just about to drink tea, heard this and asked with a confused look on his face: "What do I want to tell you?"
"During the meal, you wanted to say something to me several times, but in the end you didn't say anything." The Eighth Prince looked at Zhao Yao with concern, "Did you do something, or do you have something to ask for?" I?"
Myna is really keen.
"Bago, you can see this." Zhao Yao pretended to be surprised, "I have something to ask you." After saying that, he looked at the eighth prince longingly.
The third update is here. I originally wanted to update it before twelve o'clock, but it's still too late to make changes.
