Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 236

Xue Yunyan stared ahead, without even looking at Xue Yunheng, his calm brows and eyes were as straight as an old monk's meditation: "Faith? Where is it?"

Xue Yunheng was startled, then curled his lips, a hint of sarcasm in his quiet eyes.

Every time his eldest brother speaks, he always pretends to be so profound, which is the most despised.

Xue Yunyan ignored his thoughts, and walked in a safe manner, as if walking leisurely in the courtyard.

That letter must never be kept, and he destroyed it immediately after reading it, but the words in that letter were seared in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking about it for a few days.

Is there such a relationship between the Lu family and the world?If members of the Lu family in Shangjing died in the earthquake, would the country of Chen be in chaos?

The Lu family has such great power?
For some reason, he thought of the court where the undercurrent was surging.

Emperor Zhongyuan had quite a lot of heirs, and the princes ranked eleventh, and at least half of them were fifteen years old, and the crown prince happened to be stuck at the end of that half.

These grown-up princes, looking at the high throne, looking at the supreme honor at their fingertips, will definitely not think that it belongs to their father or younger brother as they did when they were young.

Xue Yunyan's expression gradually faded, and those indifferent amber eyes quietly turned cold at this moment.

As if sensing his mood at the moment, Xue Yunheng's voice rang out at the right time, the extremely low voice, and even more so in his rare solemn attitude, every word and every sentence, like a drum in his ears: "Elder brother, you can notice that the Holy Majesty is right. Mrs. Lu, quite taboo?"

Xue Yunyan's figure that was moving forward like a flowing cloud paused slightly.

The pause was extremely short, and soon, he walked forward with his clothes flapping, and the clear voice came indifferently: "Before I read the letter, I didn't know it. After I read the letter, I realized it."

Xue Yunheng looked up at him with a serious expression.

Dongling Yelao's second letter indeed has such a miraculous effect.And the more he thought about the contents of the letter, the more he felt that what Mr. Dong Ling said might not be groundless.

Back in the day, if Emperor Zhongyuan hadn't hired Lu Shizhu as his concubine, it's really hard to say who the throne would belong to.

The decline of the Huan family confirmed this speculation from another aspect.

Ever since Lu Shizhu was hired as the prince's concubine, the Huan family, who had always been aloof, suddenly became close to the Lu family. After Lu's death, Emperor Zhongyuan was able to ascend the throne, and Huan's contribution was indispensable.

The Emperor Zhongyuan also reciprocated. After marrying Lu Shizhu, all his concubines were from the small clan or even the Han clan. He made it clear that if he ascended the throne in another day, he would respect the Lu family. Or the sons of the Han clan must not be compared with the sons of the Lu clan.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Zhongyuan's posture was too good, so the two surnames Lu and Huan contributed a lot to the establishment of the prince.

But no one expected that on the eve of Emperor Zhongyuan's ascension to the throne, the Huan family was sent to the frontier by the former emperor on trumped-up charges.

At that time, everyone thought that Emperor Zhongyuan's position as crown prince might be lost, but what was surprising was that after the outbreak of the Huan clan, the first emperor still made Emperor Zhongyuan the crown prince, and he did not want to be moved at all.Soon afterwards, the first emperor died, and the Zhongyuan emperor ascended the throne as usual.

However, after Emperor Zhongyuan came to the throne, his attitude towards his benefactor, the Huan family, was very thought-provoking.

Thinking about the time of Empress Lu's death now, it is said that she died of depression and illness not long after Emperor Zhongyuan ascended the throne, but several years had passed since her eldest son died of illness at that time. There are debatable points.

"What he did is really incomprehensible." Xue Yunheng frowned, his voice was extremely low, and before he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Li Sun and the others who fell far behind.

Xue Yunyan glanced at him sideways, flicked his sleeves, and parted his thin lips slightly: "Finally, it's okay, they are all mine."

Xue Yunheng raised his eyebrows.

Knowing that his eldest brother has always been arrogant, but he never thought that this person could be so arrogant. He knew what he was going to say next, but he still didn't care.

However, with this assurance, he has nothing to worry about.

After concentrating for a while, Xue Yunheng said in a deep voice: "After Empress Lu passed away, Your Majesty wept for a full moon, and the food dropped sharply. It can be said that the death of the former Empress was extremely honorable. The national funeral was only one month old, and His Majesty appointed the fifth prince as the crown prince. The appearance is very loving. However, none of the Lu family has been enshrined, and Lu Shixing has no title to this day, and he has guarded Guangling for more than ten years, but he has not moved."

At this point, his expression was slightly cold, but his tone became playful: "The king's love is the deepest, and there is nothing more than the crown prince. However, the crown prince's mother's family is treated so poorly."

If his words were heard by others, a big traitor would definitely not be able to escape, and lying about the royal family would be punished according to the law in Chen State.

However, in the territory of the Xue family, there is no need to say whether to punish or not.Xue Yunyan's face was indifferent, with an attitude of "I had expected this matter a long time ago".

What Xue Yunheng said actually expressed his thoughts.

The various behaviors of Emperor Zhongyuan are indeed contradictory.

From the death of Empress Lu to the establishment of the crown prince, it seems that he should be satisfied with the Lu family, but afterward, his actions seemed a little indifferent, and he didn't have much favor for the Lu family, and Lu Shixing is only a fourth rank so far .

Looking at the Three Kingdoms, if you are the uncle of the prince, even if you don't give the position of public minister, a nominal marquis emperor will still give it to you.But Lu Shixing was just a shirtless general without a title.

As the king of a country, it is not surprising that he is afraid of his relatives, so the Emperor Zhongyuan's move, at least in the past, was not too outrageous.

However, Dong Lingye's few words were like a bolt of lightning in midair, splitting the chaotic and obscure court situation, and throwing out another possibility.

Thinking of this, Xue Yunyan frowned with light black eyebrows, his footsteps did not stop, and his clear voice seemed to carry the night, cold and distant: "As the second brother said, the Lu family is not like helping your majesty, but rather helping you." It seems to be a hidden worry. What he does is extremely jealous." After a pause, his expression became more and more indifferent, under the bridge of his nose, the thin lips seemed to contain the coldest ice and snow in the world, and he spit out a few words lightly. Word: "Prince, or is it a proton?"

Xue Yunheng's body shook suddenly, and he stopped walking.

Xue Yunyan didn't look at him at all, and still walked forward with his sleeves fluttering. The light gray figure, surrounded by the dim light cast by the lantern, was erratic, as if he would blend into the deep atmosphere in the next moment. night.

Xue Yunheng stared at him blankly, his eyes darkened little by little.

"Prince... Proton..." He muttered to himself, his forehead felt a little cold, and when he wiped it with his hand, it turned out to be cold sweat.

Although he is the crown prince, his mother's family's biggest supporter, the Huan family, the top crown family in the Chen country, was immediately suppressed.

Since the Huan family fell, the Lu family was nothing to worry about, but the Emperor Zhongyuan was merciful everywhere. He was only indifferent to the Lu family, but did not take much action. Even the Huan family and the Zhongyuan Emperor never killed them all. They stayed at the border, allowing them to recuperate and recover slowly.

As for the crown prince born by Empress Lu, his seat has been very stable all these years.

These kinds of inconsistencies are really... extremely subtle.
