"Retaliation?" Shen Cha tilted his head and looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "How to take revenge?"
"Isn't it easy for them to take revenge on someone?" Tantai Pingchuan chuckled, "It's just that those people were blinded by lard, so they couldn't recognize who Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong were. It’s the kind of people who keep making trouble with Tai Sui.”
"You..." Shen Cha walked to Shen Haolin and sat down, "Have you already returned home at that time?"
"Yes, I'm back." Tantai Pingchuan looked at Shen Cha's slightly worried face and waved his hand towards her, "The Xuanyuan family has always been neutral and never gets involved in such messy things. Don't worry."
"The authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear." Song Jue patted Shen Cha on the shoulder, "The Xuanyuan family has its own way of doing things. Otherwise, it would not have stood for a hundred years. Speaking of which, do you think you should know more?" He looked at Tantai Pingchuan and said, "Why don't you tell us about Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong? They are already here anyway. If we don't know about them, the secret of this house, even if it is placed in front of us, we You may not be able to see it, right?”
"Brother Huang is right. The Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong we know are completely different from what you know. They are not the same person at all. This will lead to great deviations when we make judgments." Song Qiyun also echoed, "First of all, I want to know something about the relationship between Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Tong. Why are they so obsessed with the Yan Mansion?"
"During Emperor Chongde's time, King Jing was not King Jing. Like your Song family, he was a very famous and noble general. Your two families are family friends. You should be very clear about this." I saw several members of the Song family. The child nodded, and Tantai Pingchuan continued, "But what you don't know is that actually, King Jing's ancestor and King Tong are the real brothers."
"Brother?"
Everyone present was frightened and looked at Tantai Pingchuan who threw this thunderous thunder in surprise. They all had expressions of disbelief on their ears. They knew that Prince Tong and Emperor Chongde were not brothers, but they did not expect that, Prince Tong actually still has relatives alive in the world, because all historical records indicate that Prince Tong was an orphan and was adopted.
"You can't believe it, can you? I didn't believe it when I first found out, but this is the truth." Tantai Pingchuan spread his hands, "Prince Tong was separated from his family when he was very young. It is said that , was kidnapped by a philanderer during a lantern festival. Regarding this incident, King Jing’s ancestor, Prince Tong’s brother, has always been very upset, thinking that he did not take good care of his younger brother. "
"How old was Prince Tong at that time?"
"It is said that he was two or three years old, because he was this age when he was picked up by Emperor Chongde. I once heard someone from the Xuanyuan family say that Emperor Chongde followed his father when he went on a cruise, and he picked up someone who had escaped from a human trafficker. Prince Tong, I don’t know if it was love at first sight, but anyway, I wholeheartedly wanted to treat him as a younger brother. Later, they also looked for Prince Tong’s family, but they couldn’t find him.”
"Does Prince Tong know that he has relatives alive?"
"I know." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "However, when I knew it, the ancestors of the Song family and King Jing were already preparing to raise an army." He looked at Song Jue, "Speaking of which, your ancestors decided to raise an army because of King Tong.”
"The ancestor of King Jing thought that his younger brother had been wronged, and he wanted to rescue his younger brother from the hands of Emperor Chongde before he launched an army?" Laoyou Chinese website
"The main reason is this. Of course, it is also very important to save the world."
"Don't make excuses." Song Jue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand, "Even if it is to save his younger brother, the reason is valid and justified. But does Prince Tong appreciate it?"
"Of course I don't appreciate it, and I don't even want to recognize this brother. King Jing's ancestors believed that their younger brother was bewitched by Emperor Chongde. They thought that as long as they went to Xijing and killed Emperor Chongde, their younger brother would change his mind. Unfortunately..." Tantai Pingchuan shrugged, "It was only after we actually invaded Xijing that we discovered that Emperor Chongde and his brother had disappeared."
"Did they come to this other courtyard?" Song Jue looked at the small courtyard, "So, this was specially built by Emperor Chongde for the two of them? Is it another level of hiding the beauty in the golden house?"
"Absolutely." Tantai Pingchuan smiled, "But Emperor Chongde is the hidden one."
"Ah?" Several children looked at each other, and Shen Cha rubbed her forehead. Today's news still had a big impact on her, giving her a little headache. "Emperor Chongde is so strong, he..."
"He is very strong in front of outsiders, but in front of Prince Tong, he is the one to rely on." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "Emperor Chongde's health is not good. A year before he officially ascended the throne, he had a baby. A serious illness left a root cause that could not be completely cured. Of course, this was a public statement. In fact, it was his concubine who was instructed by the family to put arsenic in Prince Tong’s food, and was accidentally eaten by Emperor Chongde. . Because I only ate a little and was rescued in time, I saved my life. But the root of the disease was here, and I always suffered two or three times a year."
"Where is the concubine's natal family? Hasn't she been punished?"
"Of course he was punished. Prince Tong waited until Emperor Chongde's condition improved before carrying his sword out of the palace. He didn't even take any of his followers, and went directly to the concubine's natal home. He took the concubine's father and brother After the testimony of his brother, brother, and two uncles, except for the female family members, all the men died under his sword."
"Where are the women?"
"I was sent to be a slave." Tantai Pingchuan sighed, "But I heard that there were bandits on the road, and no one survived."
"But if he did this, wouldn't the other courtiers impeach him?"
"Or is he a little bully?" Tantai Pingchuan chuckled, "He took a pile of confessions and went directly to the door of Dali Temple to beat the drum and said he wanted to surrender. Dali Temple knew the inside story, how could he dare Really go to interrogate him, provide him with delicious food and drink, everything is waiting for the palace's decision. Emperor Chongde only found out about Prince Tong after he woke up. It is said that he was funny and angry, but more moved, he went I begged his father not to criticize Prince Tong harshly. In fact, there was no need for him to beg, and no one who knew the truth wanted to convict him. In the final analysis, this matter was due to the cruel nature of the concubine’s mother-in-law."
"That's the end of it?"
"I went to the imperial mausoleum and knelt for three months as a sign of punishment." Tantai Pingchuan shrugged, "In the new year, Prince Tong was the first to be crowned king. Two months later, Emperor Chongde officially ascended the throne."
