Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 139: The courtyard deeply heard the shocking secret, but in the end, it was not about winning over
Chapter 139: The courtyard deeply heard the shocking secret, but in the end, it was not about winning over
Among the orchids and green bamboos, Xiao Tianfang stopped and looked at Jia Lan with a faint smile.
"I'm afraid you will think that I invited you here to win over you...?"
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Tianfang never put on the pretense of being a county king, and always called himself "I". But now, his expression began to show some subtle changes.
It wasn't that he was arrogant or complacent. Xiao Tianfang's expression made Jia Lan very puzzled. What was even more puzzling was what he said next.
"Because..." He paused, "I don't need to win over you at all."
Jialan blinked but did not speak.
Xiao Tianfang said meaningfully: "You and I are naturally friends. If we try to win over each other, we will fall into the inferior category."
"A natural friend?" Jia Lan became more and more puzzled, but saw the other party leaning forward slightly, with a look of determination, and said this in his ear: "Do you think your father really died of a sudden illness?" p>
"What!?
Jia Lan's eyes widened. He was really shocked by Xiao Tianfang now, so much so that he lost his voice in surprise.
Prince Zhongyi: "Jia Lan, have you ever thought about how a good brother, who had no pain or illness, suddenly died of a sudden illness?"
"Could it be that His Highness knows the secret?"
Xiao Tianfang's expression became solemn, his eyes changed from the relaxed look before, and his whole aura changed, becoming a little gloomy and resentful.
"You and I are natural collaborators, that's because we all have the same enemy who killed our father..."
His dark eyes were fixed on Jia Lan. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and Jia Lan couldn't help but shiver.
If Lingjue hadn't given any warning as usual, he would have definitely bolted out of the door, regardless of whether you are the king or not.
Jia Lan is really scared.
Now, he is more often afraid of knowing the truth.
Because the truth is rarely pure, it is often not the simple, black and white truth.
That's why Jia Lan would eliminate him without hesitation when Zhang Laodao mentioned it before, leaving no time for him, even if he knew many secrets.
By the way, speaking of Zhang Laodao... Jia Lan came back to his senses, his mind raced, and he thought of many possibilities.
Why did Prince Zhongyi suddenly talk about this?
I said that Potian is just a Jie Yuan, but even if I know the truth, what's the use? Is that Jialan's enemy?
"The remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Tianfang gritted his teeth and spit out four words from his mouth.
"What-what-?"
Jia Lan has forgotten how many times he was surprised. Xiao Tianfang seemed to be on a new planet, with new discoveries constantly emerging.
"What? Surprised?"
Xiao Tianfang looked at Jia Lan, as if he had seen something funny. He sat on a stone chair in the path and pointed: "Do you think the enemy I mentioned is the one?"
"How is that possible?!" Jia Lan suddenly woke up and quickly denied: "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me!"
"Hey, it's so boring, so careful!"
Xiao Tianfang pulled out a bamboo leaf from beside him and played with it in his hand, "You underestimate my imperial uncle too much. Over the years, there have been many such gossips. He doesn't care about him at all."
I don’t care about the comments behind my back.”
Jia Lan advised seriously: "After all, discussing the emperor and father in private is not the behavior of ministers."
"Ha! I didn't expect you to be so pedantic!"
Xiao Tianfang laughed for a while, but he also saw that Jia Lan was a cautious person, and it was normal for him to say such wise words to protect himself. He did not go into details but continued: "Have you ever heard of Prince Zhu San?"
Prince Zhu San?
Jia Lan was startled and complained in his heart: "Why is this person everywhere?!"
The expression on his face did not change, he just nodded slightly: "I heard a little bit."
Emperor Chongzhen had a total of 7 sons. According to the order of birth, the third son should be Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong. However, historically, the "three princes of Zhu" were from the third son Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong, the fourth son Prince Yong Zhu Cijiong to the fifth son.
All versions of Zhu Cihuan, the son of the mourning king, are available.
In the real world, "The Third Prince Zhu" was the political nightmare of several generations of emperors in the Qing Empire.
According to incomplete statistics, from Shunzhi to the middle of Yongzheng, at least 20 incidents of rebellion, rebellion or deception occurred in the name of "Third Prince Zhu".
In response to this, Kangxi went all out to arrest him with great fanfare and did not dare to relax for a moment.
On the contrary, in the Great Xia Dynasty, except for a few story-telling novels that were circulated in the market, the name Zhu San Taizi basically did not cause any splash.
The most important reason is that the Qing Dynasty won the country incorrectly.
What it announced at the beginning was "A righteous teacher will avenge your father's hatred for you." Although later people knew that this was just political blackmail, it did confuse many people at the time. It was not until he was firmly established that people slowly realized that they
It seems that I was deceived.
Then the question arises. When things have progressed to this point, how can the Qing government promote its legitimacy?
They can only continue to deepen it under the guise of "avenging your father-in-law." The whole logic is that a thief came to the house. The thief not only stole things, but also killed the owner of the house. I was a friendly neighbor of the house owner and helped kill the thief.
Since the owner has no heirs, I am acting as the owner to take charge of the house.
As for the heirs of the original owner, I recognize that although I occupy the house, I will make compensation.
So, come here.
Propaganda is propaganda, but it will be different when it is actually done. In the end, people were surprised to find that all the clan members of the Ming Dynasty were killed in the name of "fake", and even a 75-year-old man was not spared.
Just kill your whole family.
Therefore, most of the various civil uprisings in the early and mid-Qing Dynasty were under the guise of "the third prince Zhu".
In the Qing Dynasty, it was a serious problem of real governance, but in the Xia Dynasty, it turned into nothing.
Because Taizu Taizu of Great Xia pursued Hongwu uprightly when he won the country, there was no political stain that could allow conspirators to take advantage of him.
Moreover, Daxia also gave some preferential treatment to the remaining descendants of the Ming clan. Although they did not split the soil and enfeoff, they had nothing to complain about after just experiencing a double massacre by the rebels and the Qing army. They did not see Daxia's own clan
Not much preferential treatment?
Therefore, the "remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty" mentioned by Xiao Tianfang are quite meaningful.
It turns out that some Ming Dynasty clans got entangled together for various reasons to regain the motherland. Originally, this was nothing, there were such people in all dynasties.
But the trouble is, not all of them are incompetent. For some reason, they have gathered a group of Jinyiwei and Zifangsi people. They don't take much action publicly, but secretly they have been wreaking havoc.
According to Xiao Tianfang, the deaths of the deposed prince and Jia Zhu were obviously their fault.
"That's it..." Jia Lan nodded. No wonder the family kept Jia Zhu's death secret.
"Then your Highness, do you want me to assist you in destroying these people?"
