Prince Anfeng said calmly: "After this incident happened, it was forbidden to mention it in the harem of the previous dynasty, and it was not allowed to be recorded in the history books. It was passed down by word of mouth, which was naturally wrong. At that time, Emperor Xian had not yet passed away, and his mind was still very clear. When the edict was issued,
, there are two or three veterans present in the cabinet, and there are also people from the royal family."
Yu Wenhao was surprised when he heard this, "Then according to what you said, Mr. Hui Zong rehabilitated Prince Yu, so why did Prince Bao dig his grave?"
Even if he wanted revenge, he should seek out Emperor Xian, but Yu Wenhao did not dare to say this.
"As I just said, many people mistakenly thought it was Mr. Hui Zong. Not long after Hui Zong came to the throne, he vindicated Prince Yu. Everyone thought he was whitewashing the peace and covering up the murder of his uncle.
For the crime, Mr. Hui Zong was indeed whitewashing the peace, but not for himself, but for the royal family. Prince Yu at that time really had the intention to rebel."
Yu Wenhao was shocked, "Is this really a rebellion?"
"Yes, it is indeed serious to kill the whole family. However, for Prince Yu, it is not unjust at all. What is unjust is the family, ministers and others who died with him. This matter was very involved at the time, except for him.
In addition, more than a dozen court officials were beheaded, and they were all involved in plotting to usurp the throne."
"It's so serious?" Yu Wenhao was shocked. If more than a dozen officials were involved in being beheaded, it would be the most serious case since the beginning of the Northern Tang Dynasty. However, this matter was covered up, and historical records only briefly mentioned it.
However, he was even vindicated in the end, saying that the case was an unjust case.
"How can such a serious crime be vindicated in the end? Isn't that the same as saying that Emperor Xian was wrong?" Yuan Qingling listened and found it incredible. Why did Master Hui Zong do this?
Emperor Xian ordered the death of Prince Yu, but his son went to help him rehabilitate him. It was really a slap in the face for his father.
Prince Anfeng said: "Because of this, Hui Zongye also said that it was his intention at that time. After he ascended the throne, he rehabilitated Prince Yu's family and also issued an imperial edict to blame himself. As for why he did this, there are some
Inside information, but these inside information have nothing to do with today, nor have anything to do with the case at that time, so it’s okay not to mention it now.”
"In other words, Prince Bao actually didn't know the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen Master Hui Zong's body." Yu Wenhao said.
"I don't know everything." Prince Anfeng nodded.
Yu Wenhao asked: "Then in these years, no one has noticed that there is something wrong with him?"
"He was not like this before." Princess Anfeng, who had never spoken before, suddenly spoke up.
Everyone looked at her and saw that she looked more sad than angry. Remembering that she had raised Prince Bao, she must be the most disappointed and sad person now.
"You mean that Prince Bao didn't hate Zong Hui in the past?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Anfeng said slowly: "Back then, Emperor Xian decreed that all of them should be executed. On the day when the decree was issued, a concubine from Prince Yu's palace happened to be in labor. I delivered the baby, and I also took away their mother and son because she had no name."
The title was not sealed, and the person in charge of this matter at the time was Brother Wei, so the fact that I took away their mother and son could be hidden from the public, and even Mr. Hui Zong only found out about it after the fact."
"Who is Brother Wei?" Yu Wenhao couldn't remember which veteran was named Brother Wei.
Prince Anfeng looked indifferent and said: "My king!"
Yu Wenhao snorted and then remembered that Prince Anfeng's name was Yu Wenxiao, with the Chinese character Youwei.
"No wonder he wants to see you. It turns out you were the one who ordered the execution of Prince Yu's palace." Yu Wenhao understood.
