"After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the reason why Princess Yin was not executed was not only that she was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, but also that she was pregnant at the time. After all, it is unknown whether pregnant women were executed." Liu Rengui said in a simple sentence The truth of that year.
After a short pause, Liu Rengui followed up and said: "Later, Princess Yin gave birth to a daughter, who was the Lord of Guide County. However, even if the child was a daughter, the birth of the Lord of Guide County was complicated in many aspects. Conceal it, and no one dares to ask."
"So that's it." Li Xuan looked a little uneasy, but still managed to say: "Then the King of East China Sea may be the son of Prince Yin and other palace maids, or even an outlaw, or even... some singing girls. "
"At the Xuanwu Gate, almost before everyone in the Tai Palace could react, the guards of Prince Qin's Palace surrounded the Tai Palace. Except for Princess Yin and several county heads, no one survived." Liu Rengui looked serious.
Li Xuan's speculation that Prince Yin was the son of the palace maid was denied.
"At the beginning, the whole of Chang'an was under the control of the late emperor. The wise son-in-law thought that if Prince Yin had other concubines, with the ability of the late emperor, would he know about it?" Liu Rengui asked in return, making Li Xuan nod subconsciously.
"Finally, those singing girls. If they are brothel dancers, even if they are lucky enough to have children, there is no evidence to prove that they are descendants of Prince Yin; if they are singing girls from aristocratic families, given the preferential treatment given to meritorious officials by the late emperor when he founded the country, even if Prime Minister Wei Sincerely joining Xue Wanjun, not to mention other people, if this person really existed, he would have been drowned by the wealthy family himself." Liu Rengui spoke again, completely denying Li Xuan's last guess.
"Perhaps he escaped before the big family took action, you may not know?" Li Xuan was still stubborn.
"Back to just now, if this is the case, how can we prove his identity as a descendant of Prince Yin? This cannot be proved by just taking any token from the past. There are a lot of them in the palace." After a slight pause, Liu Rengui looked solemn. "This matter not only requires the guarantee of important ministers who can prove their identity, but also needs to be able to withstand other people's efforts to find faults."
Even if the King of East China Sea is really a descendant of Li Jiancheng, the wealthy family that wants to invest in him must do everything possible to eliminate the possibility that he is a servant of the court lady. Any worries and questions in their hearts must be answered in the most perfect way.
This is a major event that affects the lives of the entire family and hundreds of people. How can we ignore it in the slightest.
"So, the most convincing explanation is that King Donghai is the son of Princess Yin. Since Princess Yin is still alive, there is no need for other proof." After Liu Rengui finished speaking, he stared at Li Xuan.
The other most improbable guesses have been eliminated, and now the only thing left is the truth of that year.
King Donghai is not only the son of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, but also the legitimate son of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng and Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin.
He is the direct grandson of Emperor Gaozu, even the grandson of the emperor.
This identity was enough for King Donghai to directly threaten the thrones of Li Zhi and Li Xian.
This level of threat is even higher than that of Cao King Li Ming, Yue King Li Zhen, and Qi King Li Shangjin.
As for Li Xuan, he may not even be ranked high.
Liu Rengui glanced at Li Xuan, and then said calmly: "If this guess is true, it also means that someone secretly replaced the son born by Princess Yin with a daughter, and then grew up among the people. After years of careful cultivation and accumulation of strength, I can reveal my identity to others without any scruples."
Although the civet cat is replaced by the prince, although it is not the same method, the meaning is definitely the same, even more so.
Li Xuan's face was heavy, but she had to nod with emotion: "The King of East China Sea used Liu Guangye's death to announce his existence to the entire Tang Dynasty."
The Turks and the Tubo people are in the same boat. Here, they are just hooks used by the King of East China Sea to lure Liu Guangye out.
Liu Guangye is the grandson of Prince Yin, and he is connected with King Donghai. Those who have investigated King Donghai for so many years will immediately think that King Donghai is actually a descendant of Prince Yin, and even the legitimate son of Princess Yin and the legitimate grandson of Emperor Gaozu. Even the emperor's grandson.
The value of the King of East China Sea, in the eyes of everyone, has jumped to infinite heights.
This calculation was accomplished the moment Liu Guangye died.
"Although the birth of County Lord Guide was kept secret and even the saints and queens have forgotten it, there are still some old people who have experienced it and know the inside story. They can easily connect the death of Liu Guangye with the death of County Lord Guide. The births are connected." Liu Rengui's face became solemn, and he deliberately omitted the King of East China Sea.
"That's why the emperor asked Yin...to let this king go visit Princess Yin." Li Xuan said half of what he said, but he immediately took it back.
Liu Rengui waved his hand directly and said, "Don't be so nervous. If it were earlier, the queen's first thought would definitely be to kill Zheng, but now after finding out the truth, her mind must have changed."
"Changed?" Li Xuan's face was full of surprise. The one who wanted to kill Zheng Guanyin through that method before was Empress Wu. Why didn't she suddenly stop killing her now?
"Because the death of Princess Yin is equivalent to confirming the fact that King Donghai is the legitimate son of Prince Yin." Liu Rengui's casual words made Li Xuan's face change greatly. Liu Rengui then said: "Maybe this is what that person wants to see. "
Li Xuan's face was still full of disbelief, the corner of her mouth twitched, and finally she said with some horror: "Indeed, with the ruthlessness of the King of the East Sea, he can do such a thing."
Sacrificing his biological mother to prove his identity.
The son killed his mother. Although the King of Donghai did not do it himself, he was the one who sent Princess Yin to hell.
Although this kind of thing is cruel, it is definitely worth it for those ambitious people who care about the world.
The King of Donghai had planned from the beginning to use Liu Guangye's death to cause people to speculate about his identity as a descendant of Prince Yin. Once this speculation was confirmed by Princess Yin, the consequences would be extremely terrible, so Emperor Wu decided to kill him. Zheng Guanyin.
The death of Princess Ke Yin proved the authenticity of the East China Sea King's identity from another level.
Whenever Empress Wu thought of this, she would not kill Princess Yin.
Even if Empress Wu didn't think of it, Li Zhi, Liu Rengui and the others would help her think of it.
"However, Princess Yin is still going to die." Liu Rengui slowly walked out from behind the desk and walked behind Li Xuan. He patted Li Xuan's shoulder, looked at the clear sky outside, and said softly: "Yin Gui The last child the Crown Princess gave birth to was a daughter, the Lord of Guide County, and Princess Yin will pass away peacefully in the company of the Lord of Guide County."
"Approximately when will it be?" As soon as Li Xuan spoke, he could hear the astringency in his own voice.
"After the Zhengdan court meeting." Liu Rengui said softly: "This funeral will be very grand. Princess Yin will be buried with the ceremony of a princess. The Lord of Guide County will mourn with his daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren, and she will be buried in Gaoyang, Chang'an County. Originally, he was buried with King Xiyin."
A person is not dead yet and is in good health, but countless people have already planned the time, place and burial place for her. This is such a terrifying fact. However, Liu Rengui said it calmly, Li Xuan's expression quickly calmed down.
"Prince Yin is seventy-seven, alas!" Li Xuan sighed and said softly, "If I could get all the ministers in the world...eh?"
Li Xuan's sudden hesitation immediately caught Liu Rengui's attention: "What's wrong?"
"Sun-in-law may be overthinking it." Li Xuan turned around, looked at Liu Rengui, and bowed seriously: "Prince Yin is already old. If she uses this incident to clear her son's name, then... ...Isn’t it impossible?”
Liu Rengui was stunned for a moment, but then his face darkened. You only need to think a little deeper about what happened here, and you can figure it out: "Someone is delivering news to Princess Yin and the King of Donghai, Liu Yingdao?"
The father of Liu Guangye, Liu Yingdao.
In recent years, there were only two people who could really see Crown Princess Yin both inside and outside the court. One was Liu Yingdao, the husband of Wenxi County Lord, the official doctor, and the other was Guide County Lord.
"Killing his own son just to convey news?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Rengui in surprise, and said hesitantly: "There is indeed such a possibility in people's hearts.
, but Sun Xun felt that Langzhong Liu was not such a person, and the Liu family was not yet ready to make such a sacrifice for Prince Yin. "
Li Xuan met Liu Yingdao, and his indifference towards Princess Yin was obvious, and he didn't even like his own son very much.
Putting aside these family ties, in terms of profit alone, even if the King of Donghai successfully rebels and ascends the throne, the Liu family will only be able to appoint a minister and a prime minister. But Liu Yingdao's brother Liu Xiangdao has already done this.
The entire Liu family no longer has to risk the Manchus being slaughtered to do these things.
Returning to the individual, Liu Yingdao is already in his fifties and will become an official in a few years. If he wants to subvert the imperial court, he may not be able to do it until his death.
The people who can really participate in these things are those who are deeply bound to the interests of Donghai King, and there are very few of these people.
"No matter what, we still need to check." Liu Rengui took a gentle breath, and he wanted to make sure nothing went wrong.
"Actually, Mr. Sun thinks that a person like the King of Donghai should be well-prepared. If Crown Princess Yin passes away, he will benefit. If Crown Princess Yin survives, he will still benefit." Li Xuan said very cautiously. These are all It was his judgment on the King of East China Sea.
"If that's the case, what is he planning?" Liu Rengui frowned slightly.
"Yue Weng, Sun Xiu once guessed that the King of Donghai might be the King of Yue and King Cao, but he later denied it. However, one thing Sun Xiu can be sure of is that the King of Donghai must be an official of the current dynasty, and his rank is neither high nor low. In the current situation, it is very possible that he is secretly the person who can participate in the funeral of Princess Yin?" Li Xuan slightly cupped her hands and expressed her last guess. .z.
"So, he will definitely appear at the funeral of Princess Yin." Liu Rengui has now roughly guessed the intentions of King Donghai, but what he wants to do in the end is still a little unclear.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Rengui looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Xianxiang, if King Donghai is really the legitimate son of Prince Yin, what will be the attitude of the clan?"
"Reporting to Yue Weng, not many people in this world want to see turmoil, especially now."
