Lei Yue Longmen

"I was going to my aunt's house? I heard it from some censors during New Year's greetings."

The little aunt in Wu Jingchai's mouth naturally refers to the eldest princess Changning's little aunt.Although she is only in her early fifties, Princess Changning is already a generation older than the emperor and princess of the same age group.By the way, even her husband Lan Lie and Wu Jingchai had to call grandpa when they saw her.

It turned out that as soon as the new year came, Wu Jingchai and his father went to visit the new year everywhere.Wu Tianji was born in a rough place, and was alone since he was a child. The Wu family doesn't have any relatives in Beijing, so the two of them are all relatives of the eldest princess.The first emperor Li Taiyue didn't have many heirs, apart from the two brothers today, there was only one direct relative of the eldest princess, the rest of the children died before they reached adulthood.Therefore, the status of the eldest princess is naturally higher than that of ordinary royal relatives.When Wu Jingchai was born, the emperor suggested that he should be enshrined in the royal family, calling him Li Jingchai, but the eldest princess refused.And Wu Tianji himself didn't pay much attention to the division of surnames, and he didn't have the need to pass on the family line. It is said that even his own surname was chosen casually. When he was a child, he was begging on the street with an uncle surnamed Wu. Treat him well, he has no name? No surname, so he simply took the uncle's surname Wu.As for his son's surname, he really doesn't care. Anyway, he doesn't even know his own surname. If his surname is Li, he can at least know where half of himself is from. If his surname is Wu, he is just as confused as himself.He didn't care if he said he barged in the door. In his words, "You? Mother has high eyesight. Those who talk are all she doesn't like. Those who are eliminated, it's normal to feel a little sad."

Under such a background, it doesn't matter at all whether the Wu family's father and son pay New Year's greetings.Under normal circumstances, it is the eldest princess's cousins ​​who come to look for them on their own initiative.Some of them are very knowledgeable. Knowing the special circumstances of the Wu family, they call Wu Tianji brothers and sisters, Wu Jingchai? Instead of calling them nephews, they call them nephews, which is equivalent to acquiescing to his royal status.Originally, since Empress Xiaozu broke the stereotypes and ascended the throne as emperor, and passed on the throne to her own granddaughter Yizong Li Wenzhuo, Li Wenzhuo also set the rule that the female emperor should be passed on to the female emperor, and the blood must return to the ancestors within three generations. Yurui's royal family is no longer We are particular about male lineage.Many of them are descendants of the empress and her surname. However, when the empress finally passes on the throne to her sons, she must first marry the Tai/zu Yuanzhi clan, so that the children born in this way can be guaranteed to be surnamed Li forever.This is the famous bloodline returning to the ancestors in the history of Yurui.

Throughout the 400 years since the founding of Yurui, there have been two times of blood returning to the ancestors.It happened for the first time more than 300 years ago. The fifth generation of emperors had no children, and passed the throne to their daughter Xiaozu, who in turn passed the throne to his granddaughter Yizong. , and finally belonged to the authentic Li Shiyi, the son of the Gongzong and Tai/Zu Yuanzhi descendants.

The second time happened a hundred years ago. At that time, the only prince under Li Jianwen, the fifteenth emperor, died young, and had no choice but to appoint his only daughter Li Yiran as emperor.The inexperienced Li Yiran's succession to the throne was the beginning of chaos in the court. Afterwards, Li Yiran gave birth to his daughter Li Xiuyao. Brothers Li Zhonghan and? Li Zhongzhi.Later, the throne was passed on to the eldest son Li Zhonghan.It is for the second bloodline to return to the ancestors.

Afterwards, Li Zhonghan's line became extinct, and Li Zhongzhi's descendants entered the Datong. In fact, it was another return of blood to the ancestors.However, because they are still descendants of Li Zhonghan in name, they are not counted.

And predictably, Yurui's next bloodline will return to the ancestors in the not-too-distant future.If Li Jingyu succeeds to the throne smoothly, either in the generation of his sons or in the generation of his grandchildren, there must be a bloodline returning to the ancestors.Return the blood from the "non-Li family" in the eyes of the world to the "Li family", so as to prevent people with foreign surnames from coveting the Li family, and hoping to marry the queen to achieve the goal of making one's own heir enthroned as emperor in the future so as to change the dynasty.

The bloodline has undergone several twists and turns. Although the current close clan still has the blood of the ancestors, there are no purely male descendants of the ancestors, and there are more or less blood from the "Biezhihe" "Biejia?", which made Wu Jing Does Chai treat her like herself? No surprise there.

Wu Jingchai followed these people to go to the palace first to pay homage, and then to rank relatives according to their seniority, going door to door to pay New Year's greetings.It took a whole morning from the old uncle Zongzheng Li Taizhong's mansion in the main courtyard to the Changning Dachang Princess' mansion.Sometimes having too many relatives is a burden!

When they arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, it was inevitable to see Wensong Hou Lanlie.After Wu Tianji paid homage, he went to chat with his peers. Since childhood, Wu Jingchai hated those "cong? brothers" who regarded themselves as royal orthodox, because Li Pinghong treated him more affectionately than any nephew, which made these Li's descendants quite angry. Not fast!On the contrary, he is close to his cousins, such as King Dun and King Cheng. Now that King Dun and King Cheng are serving the sick in the Queen Mother's palace, he is getting more and more bored, so naturally he doesn't want to mingle with the crowd, so he hangs out privately.

Because Lan Lie is also the censor of Zuodu, many censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came from the mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and many New Year's greeting teams would inevitably meet each other.Wu Jingchai avoided everything he could avoid, wandered around alone, and got lost. When he came to a moon-shaped door that was suspected to be the entrance of a garden, he heard two men coming from the other side of the door. voice.Coincidentally, Wu Jingchai knew these two voices.

Just? Listen? A voice with a strong nasal cavity said: "Brother Zhao, we should be cautious this time! If this is true, we may not win the fight!" Censor.When Wu Jingchai took the scapegoat for Li Jingxi, he even had a verbal confrontation with him, so he recognized his voice.

"What are these words? How can we as censors know about it? Don't report it? Conceal it to the Holy Majesty!"

And the second voice was clear and powerful, and Wu Jingchai also recognized that it was Yu Shi Zhao Chen.When he impeached Cen Zhuo in the hall for the first time, Wu Jingchai happened to be watching by Li Jingbai's side.He still remembers that crisp and fierce tone.This man is thorny and stubborn, and he has never helped his relatives. When the emperor exceeded the limit and gave King Dun the Nine Dragon Umbrella, he was the only one who stood up to speak for Donggong.And Tan Xuanjing's resignation? He was the first to take the lead in impeaching Donggong for accepting bribes from below.People both respect and hate him, but the rare thing is that the emperor's uncle appreciated him very much. Although he was angry and ordered him to beat him so that he couldn't get out of bed for half a year, he immediately entrusted him with a heavy responsibility after he recovered from his injuries. However, it can be seen that the emperor's uncle still appreciates and trusts him.

Listen? The tone of the two is solemn, as if they are discussing some important matter.Little Hou Ye felt something was wrong, and quickly dodged behind the rockery on the side of the Moon Cave Gate.

"Hey, you? And? It's not that I don't know, today I have a lot of respect for Cen Zhuo. How can you believe these rumors in the market? There is no beginning or end, no root and no basis, how can you believe that she is a woman?"

When Wu Jingchai heard it? They were talking about Cen Zhu, but was she actually a daughter?I couldn't help being startled, and quietly stretched my ears out a little, holding my breath and listening intently?It was still Song Yushi, and then sighed: "What's more, we have already impeached Cen Zhuo three times and four times, but there is no point. Now she is not in the court. If we want to impeach, there will be blackmail. It's suspected of revenge. If you don't say anything this time, how will you gain a foothold in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future?"

"Song Yushi's words are justified!" That brat Zhao Chen actually agreed with Song Yushi's words, Wu Jingchai was greatly surprised.Song Yushi was also surprised, and then there was a smile on his face, and he was about to speak.Zhao Chen pondered again: "So, we should think of a perfect way this time, let the emperor discover her womanhood first, and then we will take the opportunity to impeach her!"

When Song Yushi heard this, he didn't listen to his persuasion just now. He went in and became a little anxious, "I said Brother Zhao, why are you still obsessed? Then Cen Zhu has a family? He has a room and is famous. "With a surname, even if the person looks a bit more delicate, it is absolutely impossible to be a woman. If this is the case, then the court and the emperor will have a big joke!"

"You? Haven't seen it before. How do you know if it's true or not?"

"This……"

When Wu Jingchai recounted the conversation between the two of them to Li Jingxi, he said clearly: "You? Look, this Cen Zhu has a wife but no children. She has a fair face and no beard. She looks like a beautiful woman. She is twenty to seven years old. Twenty years ago, she was exactly seven years old, the same age as Cen Du Yushi's only daughter when she disappeared. Moreover, her mother, Cen Zhongyu, was named Cen Yuzhong in reverse. Is there a second Cen Yuzhong?"

"Far-fetched, far-fetched, really far-fetched!"

Unexpectedly, Li Jingxi's answer was exactly the same as Song Yushi's.Song Yushi shook his head and denied that Zhao Chen naturally didn't want to participate in this matter, so as not to get angry.Wu Jingchai was a little surprised by Li Jingxi's calm and indifferent attitude. Logically speaking, she should have been greatly surprised when she heard that Cen Zhu was a woman, and even sternly refuted it.How could he be so calm, as if he already knew the profoundness of it, and didn't bother to comment.On the contrary, Wu Jingchai actually hoped that Cen Zhu would be a daughter, so that Gu Qing might not have lost her body to her, but then again? Thinking about it, even if she was a daughter, seeing Gu Qing's utter devotion to her would be nothing to me. thing!What's more, even Sister Huang lost her dignity to her, so how could Gu Qing run away?It's so annoying to think about it!Why is it that she takes all the good women in the world, and he can't even drink a spoonful of them if he wants to!

"You? Just bothering my sister for such a trivial matter?"

Li Jingxi deliberately suppressed the panic in his heart, pretending to be relaxed.

"Of course not. Although I am not sure if Cen Zhu is a woman, but the gang of censors seem to believe that she is the same, and they want to impeach her again. And listen? Zhao Chen's tone seems to have already As soon as I heard it, I rushed to report to Huang Jie! The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not kind, so I should think of a countermeasure earlier, or go to Weiyang City to report."

Li Jingxi heard that what he said was reasonable, but he was also very worried.Cen Zhu's daughter and elder sister had already told her about it, but they didn't tell her that Cen Zhu was still Cen Zhi's daughter.She has never cared about the affairs of the imperial court, but heard the story told by Crown Prince Lan Que at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and she was confused and didn't understand it very well.After the banquet, he pestered the eldest princess to talk all night, and only then did he know that such a big thing happened on the day he was born.But the two have never been connected before.

Listening to Wu Jingchai's talk now, Cen Zhu seems to be Cen Zhi's daughter. She is both surprised and a little sour.Since my sister didn't tell her, she naturally didn't want her to know too much, because this secret was related to Cen Zhu's wealth? Life.Even if it's her own sister, she has to hide something.There must have been some kind of tacit understanding reached between them, and no one else could get in.

After looking for it, I thought, since Cen Zhu is the daughter of Cen Zhi, then she and the Tu family are sworn enemies.However, my elder sister married the Tu family and gave birth to a child of the Tu family.After all, the time when Cen Zhu and sister broke up was exactly when her sister was pregnant, so she must have been very painful at that time.It turned out that this was the real reason for their breakup.

She actually felt a little wronged for Cen Zhuo in her heart. The greatest pain in the world? Is there nothing like seeing a loved one and an enemy give birth to a child?If it were her, she might leave and never look back!She is still soft hearted.Thinking about it again, in the year I was born, both of Cen Zhuo's parents died, and he was forced to live outside alone. He was not alone, and he was accompanied by his relatives. I don't know what it would be like?

All kinds of thoughts of Li Jingxi were suppressed deep in his heart, and Wu Jingchai didn't even see half of them.

Although Li Jingxi didn't know whether this was true or not, he already had [-]% confidence in his heart that Cen Zhu was Cen Zhi's daughter.Although she doesn't care much about the law of the court, she has been in touch with Li Jingfen for a long time, and knows about Cen Zhi's family? She has not been rehabilitated yet, and Cen Zheng is still guilty of the crime.This matter must not be leaked, otherwise it may lead to his death.We must find a way to notify as soon as possible.

"How about this, you? Go to Weiyang City and inform Cen Zhu, and I'll inform my sister. Let's split up!"

After making simple arrangements, Li Jingxi suddenly thought that if Wu Jingchai went to Weiyang City, he would definitely rack his brains to find out the truth.The less people know about Cen Zhu's background, the better.At this moment, she suddenly understood her sister's painstaking efforts to conceal her.

So he changed his mind and said: "Forget it, is it you? Go tell my sister, I'll go to Weiyang."

"You? Go? My little aunt, you? Are you still sick!"

"So, it's just a cover-up!"
