Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

Facing Mr. Kang's proud expression of "I have dealt with it a long time ago, you are too tender after all", He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou choked for a while without speaking.

Mr. Kang slowly unfolded the roll of cotton cloth, revealing the bright yellow scroll inside, shaking his beard and laughing: "Xue Chong thinks he has figured out all the tricks, but he never expected that I, an old man who stands upright in the world, would have the courage Forge Taizu’s will? Hmph! Even if you don’t catch him, I won’t let him succeed! If he uses the fake will to make a fortune, once the will is found to be wrong, his good life will come to an end , I was looking forward to watching a good show, but now I can't watch it."

There was a bit of regret in the tone.

He Yuan: "..."

Xue Yunzhou: "...Then we are doing bad things with good intentions?"

"What are you talking about? Xue Chong is full of scheming and vicious thoughts. Such a person should be eliminated as soon as possible, so that he will not cause trouble again!" Mr. Kang gave him a look, and then asked curiously, "What do you do to Xue Chong? ?”

He Yuan said: "Leave it to Xue Yunqing."

Mr. Kang nodded again and again: "This is very good, you don't want to interfere, Xue Chong is Yun Zhou's biological father after all, and you will only make it sound when you deal with him."

Xue Yunzhou nodded repeatedly, but his eyes glanced at the bright yellow scroll from time to time.

The scroll looks very new. It is reasonable to say that it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has been enshrined by the Kang family for generations. Even if it is wiped frequently, it should be a little dull. The silver threads exude a dazzling luster, not at all like old things.

He Yuan also noticed the strangeness of the scroll, and after finishing talking about Xue Chong, he turned to the main topic, pointed to the scroll and said, "Is this really the imperial edict of the Taizu?"

Mr. Kang regained his composure, stroked his gray beard, nodded and said, "Exactly! You don't think it looks like it?"

He Yuan acquiesced, and Xue Yunzhou was embarrassed to be so direct, so he just said euphemistically: "The things used by the royal family are good, and they are brand new after hundreds of years."

Mr. Kang chuckled: "You brat beat around the bush! But it's normal for you to have doubts, otherwise Xue Chong wouldn't be fooled. You might as well take a look at what's written here."

He Yuan glanced at him in surprise.

Mr. Kang waved his hands indifferently: "Now that things have happened, I am afraid that the existence of this edict is no longer a secret, and I don't know where Xue Chong got the news. Although Xue Chong was arrested, there must be other people. I am coveting secretly, this matter will not end here, it is better to show it to you, so as not to be caught off guard by others."

Hearing what he said, He Yuan stopped being polite, picked up the scroll and slowly unfolded it, leaning towards Xue Yunzhou.

The two put their heads together, and after reading the contents inside, they were shocked.

This edict was actually used by the Taizu of this dynasty to abolish the ineffective emperors of later generations!

According to the statement in it, Emperor Taizu selected four major families to grant secrets to each of them. The Kang family received the edict in front of them, and the other three families each received a token. If there is a mistake, the four major families can join forces, rely on the edict and three tokens, abolish the incumbent and establish a new emperor, if there is no successor, then learn from Yao, Shun and Yu, give up the royal blood, and choose a worthy person to live in!

The two modern people were quite shocked. First, they didn’t expect that there were Yao, Shun and Yu in the history of this world, but they didn’t know where there was a bifurcation. Not only did they develop different historical trajectories, but even the body structure of men changed. Or maybe the Yao, Shun and Yu here have the same names as those in the previous life, but they have nothing to do with each other. Another thing that surprised them was the grandeur of Emperor Taizu.

He Yuan was a little emotional: "I think the Emperor Taizu knew very well that no dynasty can last for thousands of years, and the rise and fall is the inevitable trend of historical development."

Mr. Kang nodded and praised: "That's right, prosperity must decline is the law that all things in the world must follow. Emperor Taizu's mind is very human."

Xue Yunzhou was a little puzzled: "But such a will does not give the villain a chance to take advantage of the loopholes? Didn't Xue Chong go to great lengths for this?"

Mr. Kang smiled and said: "Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over righteousness. Xue Chong didn't succeed. This shows that Emperor Taizu's decision was correct. You don't know that Emperor Taizu chose four schools, but he didn't tell us about it. Who are the other three families of the ancestors of the family, and did not tell the ancestors of the other three families how to use the tokens in their hands. This is also to prevent us from plotting against the emperor. Know where those three tokens are."

He Yuan pondered for a moment: "The three tokens were all obtained by Xue Chong, and now they are in my hands."

Mr. Kang was extremely surprised: "He really almost succeeded?!"

He Yuan continued: "At the beginning, Xue Chong destroyed Gao Ziming's family just to get the token from their patriarch, and Qi and Shen's families, it took him a lot of thought. He can get three tokens, and he knows you With a will in hand, someone must have leaked the news to him, and the private soldiers he cultivated have been unwilling to be handed over to the emperor, which shows that he has great ambitions."

Xue Yunzhou pointed to the edict: "Grandfather, you haven't told us why this edict is so new."

Mr. Kang laughed: "This edict has been sealed in the lacquer tube since it was handed down from our ancestors. Our Kang family has followed the Taizu's oral instructions for generations, and we must not open the lacquer tube unless it is absolutely necessary. Now I make an exception. Speaking of which, this It wasn’t long before I knew the contents inside. The fake will that Xue Chong obtained was deliberately made old by me, and the seals were also slightly different, but the small differences were difficult to detect.”

Xue Yunzhou quickly flattered him: "My grandfather is still wise!"

Mr. Kang stroked his beard and laughed.

He Yuan got up and took out another box from the antique shelf, brought it over and put it on the table and opened it: "These are the three tokens I found from Xue Chong. You can see if they are real or not."

When Xue Yunqing interrogated Gao Ziming, Gao Ziming asked Gao Ziming to roughly draw the patterns of Qi and Shen's tokens from memory. After He Yuan got the tokens, he compared them with the patterns.

Mr. Kang squinted his eyes in his hand, pondered for a while, put the three tokens together horizontally and vertically according to the word "pin", and spread the will on the table, and compared the two. The pattern of the silver pattern on the back is exactly the same, except that the one on the token is a miniature version, while the dark pattern on the edict is mixed with gold and silver. Without these three tokens as reminders, it is difficult to find the special features of the silver pattern.

Mr. Kang nodded after reading it carefully: "It should be true."

In this way, the secret of Taizu's edict seems to have been completely solved, but there are still some puzzling points.

How did Xue Chong get these secrets?Even if someone leaked it to him, where did the leaker know about it?

He Yuan put away the token again, and returned the edict to Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang expressed his appreciation, but he couldn't help wondering: in the face of such a big temptation, he can still deal with it calmly. Such a king of Yan is completely different from the rumored ambitious and cruel regent. Could it be that he is really like his grandson? It is said that his husband changed his ways after getting married?

The next day, He Yuan borrowed Xue Chong from Xue Yunqing.

At this time Xue Chong was already tortured beyond human form, Xue Yunqing refused to let him die, but insisted that his life would be worse than death. Now that his will is a little loose, it didn't take much effort to explain the whole thing.

"I learned about the will from the Queen Mother, but I don't know where the Queen Mother got the news from." Xue Chong's voice was rough and ugly, and he asked, "I'm telling the truth. Trick, I just ask you to give me a good time."

He Yuan was noncommittal, and asked again: "Why did the Queen Mother tell you such a big secret?"

Xue Chong laughed hoarsely, with a strange expression, seeming proud, but also hating: "Before he entered the palace, he had an affair with me, and later told me this secret, saying that such a will that threatens the emperor should not be allowed to exist in the world, I hope that I can find the will and destroy it completely. The emperor is my flesh and blood, so I naturally want to plan for him. Later, when I got the first token, my fingers rubbed the lines on the token, and my mind suddenly changed." He said He closed his eyes and raised his head slightly, under the disheveled hair was a longing expression, "The emperor doesn't know that he is my son, so what can I do for him? Even if he knows, is he willing to admit it? Admit that he is not Royal blood? I will never be qualified to be the Supreme Emperor, so it is better to replace it than to waste my efforts!"

He Yuan listened calmly, but was a little surprised in his heart. He Zhen was Xue Chong's flesh and blood, and Zhou Zhou's jokes at the beginning turned out to be true.

No wonder the Empress Dowager turned against him, the Empress Dowager and He Zhen were connected by blood, and Xue Chong was just an adulterous affair with him, of course he could not be allowed to threaten his son's status.

But when the queen mother told Xue Chong about these things, did she never expect that things would develop into the current situation?

The Empress Dowager is not a stupid person, could there be other secrets in this?Could it be that the queen mother herself is quite the emperor and is using Xue Chong?After all, he is a man, and a man's natural desire for power is much greater than that of a woman. How can being a queen mother be as happy as being an emperor?

It's just that these are just He Yuan's guesses. Regarding the queen mother, Xue Chong couldn't tell more. Thinking that he wants to die now, if he says he doesn't know, he really doesn't know.

In the end, Xue Chong still did not die, and was sent back to Xue Yunqing with a face full of despair.

After interrogating Xue Chong, He Yuan immediately sent more people to sneak into the capital, and what was even worse, sneaked into the palace.

But at this time, there were faint signs of instability at the road construction site.
