"So many people in the eldest princess's residence died unexpectedly."
Liu Chang sighed, such an honorable family had the merit of serving the dragon back then. If they had not had the intention of rebelliousness, they would still be the same aristocratic family today!
"What about the eldest son of Zhenguo Palace? Where were he and Princess Changping at that time?"
What Su Yizhao wants to know most is this. If Wen Yu is not dead, is the Prince Zhenguo still alive?
"When we were siegeing the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, we didn't see the prince. Later, after the Zhenguo Duke's rebellion failed and he escaped from the palace, the prince was nowhere to be seen. In the end, I only heard my father mention it, saying that it was the princess and the princess at that time. The prince is in the eldest princess’s residence.”
"Why is this? The prince of the country is plotting rebellion. Shouldn't the prince advance and retreat together with his father? Why did he go to the eldest princess's mansion?" Su Yizhao asked doubtfully.
"I don't know about this. I also raised this question at the time, but my father waved his hand and told me not to say anything. He also said that he should not mention this matter outside in the future, and just treat it as rotten in his stomach.
Later, Mr. Wan fell seriously ill and passed away. Before his death, he returned our family's deed of sale, and my father took his family back to his ancestral home."
"Do you know what kind of serious illness Mr. Wan got?" Su Yizhao then asked.
"Master Wan's illness came very suddenly. He had a cold. He didn't pay much attention at first and just took the decoction every day. But five days later, his condition suddenly worsened. At that time, he was on duty at the Yamen and fell down. I immediately called the imperial doctor, but it was too late."
Su Yizhao felt a little suspicious. Since it was a symptom of wind-cold, and the decoction he was taking at that time, it stands to reason that his death would not have been so sudden.
The symptoms should have been mild before, but then suddenly worsened. How does this sound like poisoning?
The poisoning was not serious at first, but without warning, the dose was increased, resulting in death?
"Did Mr. Wan investigate Duke Zhen Guo before he conspired to rebel?"
"It must have been investigated, although I haven't heard it mentioned by my father. But during that time, my father was very busy. He went out on errands every day and sometimes came back in the middle of the night. Once, I got up at night and passed by the wing and found that my father and mother were in the room. Night talk."
"The speech mentioned the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and what else has been settled. It was just a few words, and they thought they were afraid of being heard, so they didn't mention it again."
Liu Chang's mother passed away three years ago. Su Yizhao felt a little regretful. She was sure that Liu Chang did not know as much as his mother.
It's such a pity. If the clues had been discovered earlier, there wouldn't have been so many clues missing.
"Remember it carefully and see if there is anything you missed?"
There is too little information. This can only confirm the cause of Zhen Guogong's death, but it does not provide any other help.
"Have you ever heard why Duke Zhen Guo wanted to rebel? Didn't he already surrender his military power back then? If he had disobedience, why did he surrender his military power?"
"I don't know about this. It is said that the Zhenguo Bus has been authorized to dispatch troops for ten years. It is really puzzling that he suddenly has a rebellious intention. Moreover, he is in the capital, and he can actually gather 50,000 troops. Those cronies suddenly Whether he has defected or has been plotting for a long time, it is not clear."
Liu Chang was also puzzled. He could just live a good and wealthy life, but he had to think about that.
"Do you still remember the cronies who conspired with him at that time?"
"I remember a few who were still in important positions at that time. Among them were Liao Nianqing, the commander of the capital, Yao Hejiang, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, Zhu Liangshou, the commander of the imperial guard, etc."
Su Yizhao thought about it carefully and found that the grades were not low.
The Duke of Zhen Guo can actually let these people follow him, which shows that he is still capable.
"After that, among those clansmen, the men were beheaded, most of the female relatives were sold, and some rushed into the Jiaofang Division. During that time, the capital city was shaking, and screams could be heard every day, and even
There are a lot of empty official residences in Beicheng."
Su Yizhao felt a little complicated. If he succeeds, he will follow the dragon's merits and enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future.
If it fails, the whole clan will be affected. In ancient times, the emphasis was on connecting seats.
She suddenly thought of the Su family. If there was really a problem with her life experience, then why did Su Wenqing bring her into the Su family?
Isn't he afraid of bringing down the family? Or does he have other purposes for raising himself?
Now she felt a little uneasy, "It's getting late, you should take a rest earlier. I hope you won't move around during this period, and wait until you think of something before letting someone send me the news. But don't worry, you don't need to spend too much time at this time."
Jiu, you will go back soon."
He still has a wife and children at home, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave them and stay in the capital.
But Su Yizhao was a little worried about letting him go.
This person is somewhat shrewd and may not think too much about it now, but if he does, it will be detrimental to him in the end.
Liu Chang was about to speak but stopped. He wanted to ask who this young master was and why he wanted to ask about what happened back then.
This matter has been in the past for too long. It has been almost fifteen years since the death of the late emperor, and no one mentions the Zhenguo Palace anymore.
I heard that the late emperor, Zhen Guo Gong, and King Duanyang were sworn friends at the beginning of the uprising. After Zhen Guo Gong conspired to rebel, the late emperor hated anyone mentioning Zhen Guo Gong.
As time went by, no one mentioned it anymore.
When the words came to his lips, Liu Chang swallowed them.
His father once taught him not to ask questions that should not be asked, otherwise he would not know how he died.
Su Yizhao got up and planned to go back home. He got some information today. Although the amount of information was not large, if he went back and sorted it out, he might be able to connect some useful information.
"Young Master, I have two sons and one daughter. They are good at riding and shooting, and they know a lot of martial arts. If you don't mind me, I would like to find a job with you."
Meng Yi immediately looked at Liu Chang, haha! He is actually here to grab his job.
He felt a little disdainful. He was eighteen years old this year, and he was sold to the young master by Renyazi when he was twelve years old.
I started training at the age of twelve. Through hard work and talent, I was able to have the honor of working for the young master.
He lacks neither ability nor loyalty.
And this Liu Chang, can his son compare to him? Does the young master need helpers around him?
Su Yizhao was surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Chang really had a delicate heart with seven orifices.
Then I thought about it, there is a shortage of such talents around me! But before that, I still have to observe it to avoid having ulterior motives.
"Send the people here!" Su Yizhao thought about the martial arts competition again. Since she wanted to send the hostages over, she would accept them.
Back in the mansion, Su Yizhao pushed the books on the bookshelf away and took out two books hidden in the dark.
These two books are still unofficial histories, but they record events from the previous dynasty.
Nowadays, it is not easy for the court to find the files of Duke Zhen. Logically speaking, there must be a lot of records before the rebellion, but during this period, she roughly went through the files of the previous dynasty in Wenyuan Pavilion.
, very few of them involve the Duke of Zhen.
Even if there is a record, it is just a few words and a passing glance.
