Yu Wenhao envied the couple for being so loving in their later years, but Yuan Qingling gave Prince Anfeng a meaningful look.
Princess Anfeng's eyes flew across her face, and she said calmly: "It's not the greatness you thought."
Yuan Qing Ling Congshan Ruliu said, "Understood!"
"What Wei?" Yu Wenhao looked at her puzzled and asked.
Yuan Qingling cleared her throat and said, "Listen to the princess first."
Yu Wenhao looked at Princess Anfeng again, waiting for her to continue.
"After I rescued their mother and son, I settled them first. I wanted to send them out of the capital after the incident calmed down. However, his mother was afraid that people from the court would find her, so she secretly mingled with the caravan and ran away from the city when it was dark.
, I left him in a villa. With no other choice, I could only declare to the public that I had picked up a child and brought him back to the house to raise him personally. He grew up beside me because this case was prohibited at the time.
When I mentioned it, no one ever said a word in front of him. It was not until Emperor Huizong vindicated the case that I told him the general process. I did not go into the details. After all, there was too much filth and poison in it. He was still young at that time.
, he was sad after hearing this, but he soon calmed down. He knew that rebellion was a serious crime. Although he was sad for the family members who were implicated, he saw that Emperor Huizong was willing to erase the stain of rebellion during his lifetime for his father, and let him
He recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. He has no resentment towards the court. Therefore, I don’t believe that he has been planning for a long time. Otherwise, the Northern Tang Dynasty has experienced several crises in recent years. He had good opportunities long ago, but why did he not act for a long time?
Should we wait until now?"
"Then when do you think he started to feel resentful?" Yu Wenhao asked.
The princess said: "It should have started in the past two years. To be honest, my husband and I have been in Xi Zhejiang in the early years. It was only in the past two years that we returned to Beijing and lived in Meihua Villa. When we were in Xi Zhejiang, he had no accumulation at all.
Grain garrisoning and all current operations in Western Zhejiang only started in the past year or so."
"That's strange. I haven't hated the imperial court for so many years, and now I suddenly hate it?" Yu Wenhao felt very strange. He looked at Yuan Qingling, "You originally said that he suffered a disaster and it was impossible not to resent the imperial court.
Then if he thought Prince Yu was guilty from the beginning, from your... psychological point of view, would he be resentful?"
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and said: "That's hard to say, because he grew up next to the princess and has no feelings for his biological parents. In addition, he believed the princess's words and knew that his father had rebelled against him.
Obtaining forgiveness from Mr. Hui Zong and even rectifying his father's name is a great favor from the emperor to the ministers. If he had a sense of right and wrong, he would not hate the court anymore, but all this must be based on his true belief.
If he doesn't believe what he said about the princess, and thinks that his father is innocent and has been wronged, and he doesn't avenge his father, then that's not a normal way of thinking."
Yu Wenhao said: "So, others don't know whether he believes it or not. Only he knows it best. If he is determined to avenge his father and has been planning for many years, he is really a formidable enemy now. Think about the schemes he has designed.
, one link after another, no leaks, which shows that he has great talent and wisdom."
Prince Anfeng said calmly: "Of course he is not stupid. How can a child who grew up with Luo Man be so stupid? He was smart and wanted to become an official when he was young, but Luo Man wouldn't allow it. Ask him
Whether he wanted to live the life of a wealthy idler or the life of a fearful man in power, he himself chose the former."
Yuan Qingling glanced at the princess. She was really a capable person. Look at the apprentices she taught, Xiaoyao Gong and Fourth Master. They were all extraordinary people. Prince Bao had grown up with her since he was a child. In terms of means,
In terms of wisdom, I'm afraid he is not inferior to Fourth Master and Xiaoyao Gong.
"By the way, if he had no premeditated intention, why did he conceal the fact of using force?" Yu Wenhao asked.
"Who told you he doesn't know martial arts?" the princess asked.
Yu Wenhao was startled, "No one has said this... but I have never seen him do anything. In addition, when I saw him in the past, he always looked elegant and gentle, so I thought he didn't know martial arts."
"He has been learning martial arts since he was a child. Because he was born prematurely and was in poor health, I asked him to learn martial arts. He does not learn martial arts for fighting, but only for physical fitness. He has a desire to serve the country, but I think some things can be avoided. He
After hearing what I said, I felt aggrieved, but it's not like this. Someone must have instigated this incident, which made him so desperate to avenge his father," the princess said.
Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling looked at each other, instigating? Maybe there was some, but more of it was the grievances and doubts that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time. After all, the hatred between their fathers was as deep as the sea. If they had not spared a hand,
How could it be possible to deploy everything carefully within a year and a half?
He remembered his conversation with Yuan Qingling about the Queen Mother, and said: "There is something that I find very puzzling. He tampered with the imperial mausoleum and deliberately let people tell us that Emperor Huizong's body was stolen. How could he
Did he predict that the imperial grandmother would pass away? Did he..."
The princess immediately denied his statement, "No, it's just a coincidence. Even if the Queen Mother hadn't died of illness, he would have told you in other ways that he didn't want to rebel or destroy the Yuwen family. He just wanted to do it unwillingly.
To seek justice for my father, I stole the body of Emperor Huizong and then stole the military map..."
When the princess said this, she suddenly stopped talking and frowned slowly.
Yu Wenhao kept looking at her. Seeing her expression was different, he asked, "Did you think of something?"
The princess shook her head, "No, I believe I am not wrong. After all, he is the child I raised. I know he is not a bad character."
Yu Wenhao had always heard that Princess Anfeng was a decisive, wise, and selfless person, but now he saw that she seemed to be delayed by the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law, and was not objective enough.
He looked at Prince Anfeng and saw that Prince Anfeng's expression was always majestic and cold, but there seemed to be a hint of disagreement with the princess's statement in his eyes.
So, he asked: "What do you think, old man?"
Prince Anfeng said: "There is no need to draw any conclusions now. Let's wait until I go to see him."
Yu Wenhao immediately said: "I'll ask someone to prepare the carriage."
Prince Anfeng said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry. It's not too late to wait for two days before going."
When Yu Wenhao heard this, he became anxious, "How about two more days? But we can't wait any longer. He took the old lady away. The old lady is already old and can't stand the trouble."
Yuan Qingling was also worried and begged: "Your Majesty, sooner or later you have to face him, why not earlier?"
Prince Anfeng reached out and stroked the golden tiger's head, and the tiger's head slowly lifted up, with its paws lying forward, giving it a mighty look.
"There is one thing that I need to verify. Don't worry, he will not do anything bad to the old lady. He deliberately set up this situation to capture the old lady. How can he give up if he fails to achieve his goal?"
"What are you verifying?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Prince Anfeng held Princess Anfeng's hand and stared at her face with his deep black eyes, seeming to have some pity, "See if he is colluding with Xianbei's Hong Ye. In fact, you also suspect it, right?"
The princess looked slightly pale but said nothing.
