Chapter 191 Humanity
"He told me in detail about the relationship between his mother and Zhou Dacheng family." Li Qiniang said.
There were only two mothers and daughters in the bedroom, but Yan Xuehuai knew that Pearl would definitely stay outside and not let anyone get close to this room.
Yan Xuehuai suddenly realized that since Chai Yan could tell Li Qiniang about his family, he thought that even Zhenzhu would explain it together.
Li Qiniang's voice was as light as water, flowing slowly in the quiet night.
Chai Yan is the youngest son in the family, and he really didn't know many things before. This time, because of Li Qiniang's affairs, he wrote a letter to ask his mother, Princess Yu, Jiang. In the reply from Jiang, in addition to the life of Zhou written by the female official, there was also a handwritten letter.
Emperor Gaozong had seven sons in succession, and only those who survived were the eldest son of Concubine Shu, Chai Ji, and the fifth son of Concubine Hui. Later, Emperor Gaozong appointed Wang as the successor, and Empress Wang gave birth to the sixth son of the emperor.
Emperor Gaozong liked the sixth son very much. When the sixth son of the emperor was three years old, he was granted the crown prince. At the same time, he also granted the title of Chai Ji as King Ping of Qing and Chai Yun as King Guangping, and asked the two to leave the capital to become vassals. In the future, the new emperor ascended the throne and then followed the ancestral system and the two brothers were then given the prince Jin as princes.
Unexpectedly, the prince did not live past five years old, and the prince was scared to death by a bird.
It is said that the bird pecked the prince's face. The prince was frightened and died on the spot.
Emperor Gaozong naturally did not believe that the prince was really scared to death. He asked someone to investigate and found out that the bird was brought by Queen Wang's sister-in-law from outside the palace. A year ago, someone had seen Zhou Hong, the young master of Anyuan Marquis's mansion, also had such a bird.
At that time, Zhou Shun, the son of Anyuan Hou, took the post of General Datong and had already left the capital with his wife and children.
A bird could not be evidence of rebellion, but it planted a thorn in Emperor Gaozong's mind. Later, someone secretly reported that Zhou Shun had rebelled, so he immediately sent Feiyuwei to take action.
Empress Wang was four months pregnant at this time. When she learned about the death of the prince, Empress Wang had miscarriage.
After the miscarriage, Queen Wang couldn't afford to get sick and soon died.
Emperor Gaozong was also very sad and frequently summoned Taoist priests. Soon, news of the rebellion of General Zhenyuan Zhou Wenbi came. The emperor sent Lao Ding Duke Qi Changhai to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and sent Feiyuwei to capture Zhou Shun.
When the news of Zhou Shun and his wife's tragic death reached the capital, news of Du's pregnancy came from the harem.
Because the news came by coincidence, the Taoist priest also had the vague intention of this son being the reincarnation of the prince. Emperor Gaozong was both surprised and happy and favored Concubine Du very much.
Unfortunately, Du Ping's child was not preserved. He actually gave birth to a miscarriage at seven months old and left a formed baby boy.
Emperor Gaozong felt distressed and appointed Concubine Du as the imperial concubine and temporarily took charge of the harem.
Concubine Du is younger than Queen Wang and her health is better than Queen Wang. She has recuperated her body soon. In less than two years, she is pregnant again.
This child was blessed by the prince. The seventh son of the emperor was born in full term. Emperor Gaozong was happy and named the son "Yu". Everyone in the world said that this name means the new emperor ascended the throne, and things did develop in this direction. Chai Yu was just over a month old, Emperor Gaozong appointed Concubine Du as his successor, and since then Du became Empress Du.
Emperor Gaozong passed away, and the six-year-old Chai Yu ascended the throne and appointed Chai Ji as King Yu and Chai Huan as King Qing. However, the fiefs of the two were changed from the previous place near the capital to far away from the capital.
A year later, Li Changxi, the leader of the Cao Gang, and his three sons, were framed and killed.
At that time, it had been ten years since Zhou Shun and his wife died.
The one who killed Li Changxi and his son was the brothers of the Li clan.
People only know that after the death of the Li family father and son, Zhou Dada led his sister-in-law and sister-in-law to avenge their revenge with a fierce force and gathered the brothers of the Cao Gang, but no one knew that before that, Zhou Dadada entered Prince Yu's mansion alone and asked to meet Princess Yu Jiang.
"Have you met Princess Yu?" Yan Xuehuai was shocked.
"Yes, there is something you may not have heard of. Prince Yu's biological mother, Concubine Meng Shu, and Prince Yu's mother, both came from famous families in the Central Plains. The court's rice and grain transfer department was located in Kaifeng, Central Plains, and the four rivers of the canal transport were all Kaifeng. At that time, although the Jiangnan Cao Gang had not reached an agreement on general transportation with the court, it was still transporting canal to the court. The Li family's inner demon could kill the four fathers and sons of the great masters. It would be impossible without the help of the government.
When Zhou Dada asked to see Princess Yu, he asked Princess Yu to help him. With the help of the Meng family and the Jiang family, he helped her cut off the connection between the Li family's inner ghost and the government, and turned the inner ghost into an abandoned son."
Yan Xuehuai suddenly realized and asked, "So this is what Chai Yan said, the favor Zhou Dazhu owed his mother?"
"Yes, not only this, but later the Zhou Dynasty head was able to reach an agreement with the court to carry out all the water transport between Huai and Bian Rivers, and the Jiang and Meng families also contributed to the Jiang and Meng families. The person supported by Chai Yan's father, King Yu, Chai Ji."
Li Qiniang patiently explained that in her opinion, her daughter was still young, and it might be a bit difficult to understand such things, but she did not expect that Yan Xuehuai was more transparent than she imagined.
Yan Xuehuai nodded and said, "The Cao Gang is stronger now than before. If King Yu wants to raise an army, he can be more wings with the support of the Cao Gang. Whether it is food or other arms, he must hand it over to the Cao Gang.
When Zhou Dacheng asked Princess Yu to help, the Cao Gang was worried about internal and external troubles, like a pile of sand, and she was just a little orphan in the eyes of outsiders.
Princess Yu really helped. In addition to Princess Yu being kind-hearted, more of it was Prince Yu and Princess Yu who had foresight.
Now it seems that King Yu wanted to raise an army for a day or two. He has been preparing for it for twenty years."
Speaking of this, Yan Xuehuai smiled and continued: "We only know the Zhou Dajia and her Cao Gang. There are many things we don't know. In the past twenty years, there are definitely more powers that have been developed and strengthened by King Yu's favor. There are definitely more than one Cao Gang, but also many Zhou Dajia Gang.
The young emperors in the palace are growing, the Zhou Da family are also growing, and at the same time, the power of King Yu is also growing, so the situation is today.
Mom, you are right. If King Yu dares to send his youngest son to the most dangerous place to protect him, then he will definitely make perfect preparations. There will be no accident in his son, and we mother and daughter will not be implicated."
Li Qiniang didn't expect that her baby daughter would have been much deeper than her. She looked at her daughter in surprise and asked, "Why did you think that King Yu had already prepared twenty years ago? I thought it was the case in the past or two years."
