"A descendant of Emperor Tianji?" Wu Qingruo thought for a while, "It's not impossible. Emperor Tianji should not be alone. At least when he was still alive, he couldn't have married a wife and had children. He I know what Uncle Wuzhou Wang wants him to do and what kind of person he wants to be, so having a future is also within Emperor Tianji’s life plan, right?”
"This is indeed the truth, but..." Prince Dai touched his chin, "There is nothing wrong with what Chenchen just said. No matter it is the historical materials in the palace or the unofficial history of the people, there is no mention of Emperor Tianji establishing a queen or a prince. Just a few words, not only that, even those favorite romances used to arrange emperors in the past have never happened to Emperor Tianji. Although Emperor Tianji is cruel, tyrannical, and kills without blinking an eye, his set of methods are only used for In the court, he was very tolerant to ordinary people when he used it on what he considered to be silverfish, and he did not commit any violent acts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to turn the tide and create a new world when the fallen dynasty was rapidly heading towards its end. A small prosperous age will come out. Although this small prosperous age means a return to the past in the eyes of future generations, the last emperors of many dynasties were unable to do this."
"To be precise, there are not many. He is the only one in history who has done it." Wu Qingruo sighed, "Maybe he doesn't want everyone's attention to focus on his harem and heirs, so he is not allowed to record it?" He thought about it. Thinking, he shook his head slightly, "Impossible. Others may not record it, but the historian will never agree to this."
"That's right." Prince Dai nodded, "If he had visited his queen or concubine or had his own prince, the Ministry of Rites would not have recorded it. This is against common sense. However, if he deliberately concealed it, If you don’t want your children to be exposed, and if you want to end the Luo Dynasty to your own generation, it’s not impossible.” He looked at Wu Qingruo, saw his thoughtful look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and reached out to him His eyes swayed and he asked, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts that you can tell us and listen to it together?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that an archive I saw a long time ago may be the only record about Emperor Tianji's personal life." Wu Qingruo looked at the four pairs of eyes looking at him, "Don't look at it like that I, I'm not sure if the content recorded in the archive is true. Anyway, I'm going to tell you, just listen and don't get too carried away."
"Speak up and we will study the authenticity of this content." Qin Zheng patted Wu Qingruo on the shoulder, "However, since it is your archive of Cuiyao Pavilion, there will definitely be no problem with its authenticity."
"That's the truth." Wu Qingruo nodded and sighed softly, "Because it's been so long, I don't remember it that clearly. I'll tell you how much I can remember. You can judge. Does Emperor Tianji have any descendants? Emperor Tianji has been in power for more than forty years and nearly fifty years. Except for the first ten years, he has been conscientiously staying in the capital to handle state affairs. Starting from the eleventh year, every two years Or there will be a private tour every three years. The first two or three times, the itinerary is not so fixed, but the last stop of the tour is all in Wuzhou. Moreover, when he was in Wuzhou, he stayed at the original... that is The palace where he lived when he was a child."
"He is a person who misses old friendships." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "These are indeed facts. It is also recorded in historical materials that Emperor Tianji's travels were accompanied by only one servant and two guards. No nobles or ministers are allowed to follow. There are also those who are disobedient and follow secretly, and the end will be really not good."
"That's right." Wu Qingruo nodded and continued, "However, starting from the third trip, there will always be a trip to the south of the Yangtze River in his itinerary, and he will stay in Taicang for a long time each time."
"Taicang?" His Highness Prince Ning made a gesture and interrupted Wu Qingruo, "That's right. I remember clearly that the Empress Dowager's ancestral home is in Taicang. It was her great-grandfather who brought their family from Taicang. Went to Runzhou, and then moved to Xijing City. So..." He sighed longly, "We now have reason to suspect that the Empress Dowager is related to Emperor Tianji."
"No, you can't be so arbitrary. You can't say that Emperor Tianji stayed in Taicang and the ancestral home of the Empress Dowager is Taicang. We just assume that they are related. This is not enough." Qin Zheng and Yan Bo shook their heads at the same time, expressing their disapproval of Prince Ning. His Highness's judgment: "You have to listen to what the prince continues and find out what Emperor Tianji did when he went to Taicang, and whether he really settled his family in Taicang."
"This time, Chenchen really got it right." Wu Qingruo smiled, "The reason why Emperor Tianji went to Taicang was indeed because of a person, a woman. The person from Cuiyao Pavilion recorded in the file that he lived in Taicang In that small courtyard, besides him and the people he brought, there was a woman and two children. When he first visited this small courtyard, the children were less than one year old."
"Is it a boy?"
"Dragon and phoenix twins, one boy and one girl." Wu Qingruo shrugged, "Emperor Tianji has never let anyone discover the existence of the mother and son, and the mother and son have never left Taicang. Even if Emperor Tianji died unexpectedly, they They still stay in Taicang and live their own lives. It seems that Emperor Tianji is Emperor Tianji, just like the uncle who comes to Taicang every time and stays at their home for a while. "
"and after?"
"What happened next?" Seeing His Highness Prince Ning's expression, Wu Qingruo chuckled, "You want to ask what happened to these people, right?"
"Yes, even if the news is transmitted slowly, it will take two months to get from Xijing City to Taicang. They will also know the news of the death of Emperor Tianji, and they will not react at all?"
"Then I don't know. Emperor Tianji basically didn't go out much in his later years. He rarely even went out to the palace, let alone to places as far south as the Yangtze River. Therefore, since Emperor Tianji stopped going out, Cuiyao The government immediately withdrew its informant. There is only so much archived information in the end, and there will be no more information." Wu Qingruo sighed, looked at His Highness Prince Ning, thought for a moment, and said, "The Empress Dowager's ancestral home is in Taicang, and I understand The situation in Baiya Mountain basically shows that even if she is not a descendant of Emperor Tianji, her family still has an inseparable relationship with Emperor Tianji. However, what kind of inseparable relationship can hide the deepest secrets of her family? What did you share?" He smiled at a few people and spread his hands, "Who is the Empress Dowager? Isn't the answer obvious?"
