Since the current one is not the Queen Mother’s child.
And the little princess who died young was the one who proved that there was no empress dowager's bloodline in the royal family of Dayong.
Only Young Master Nanxing of the Qiulin tribe still has the Queen Mother's blood flowing in his body.
"The Northern Barbarian hostage has always been spoiled by the Honglu Temple. I ordered my men to check the records of the Honglu Temple. When the Northern Barbarian hostage was in the capital, he was obsessed with Buddhism for a few years."
These innocuous, everyday records were not destroyed.
After Qi Xu finished speaking, Gao looked as if she was suddenly enlightened.
"At that time, there were two famous mountains in the capital. One was Xiantai Mountain where my minister's grandfather practiced, and the other was Lingyun Mountain where the Wanshou Temple was located. The late emperor was a Taoist priest, and whenever he returned to the capital after a trip, he would stay in Xiantai Mountain for a few days to discuss Taoism with my minister's grandfather. The Empress Dowager was fond of studying Buddhism, and after the late emperor went on an expedition, she would often go to Lingyun Mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying for the late emperor's safe return..."
At that time, the people all called the late emperor and the empress dowager a pair of immortal lovers. The empress dowager's good reputation among the people probably started from that time.
But looking back now, this “burning incense and worshiping Buddha” is probably adulterated.
There are many people in the imperial palace and many eyes are watching, but Lingyun Mountain, located in the suburbs of Beijing, is much easier to conceal.
Qi Xu had not found out anything about Lingyun Mountain before. After hearing what Gao said, he nodded seriously and said, "Thank you Madam Wei for your advice. I will order people to investigate this clue."
"I don't deserve your thanks, Your Highness. I just happened to think of this matter."
Seeing the tense look on the man's face, Gao felt sad. Even though she had some prejudice against King You, she couldn't help but feel a little pity for him after hearing this.
My father is not close to me and my mother died early.
The only grandmother who was somewhat close to him in the eyes of outsiders was not his biological grandmother. In order to pave the way for the true bloodline descendants, she sharpened her knife and killed him.
How miserable!
Thinking of this, Gao suddenly felt that it was not easy for King You to grow up to be what he is today and not be extreme.
However, as a monarch, his subjects have no right to comment on such a complicated life story and experience.
As... someone my daughter might entrust her life to in the future.
But it is difficult to bring happiness to others, so they are indeed not a good match.
Putting aside the inappropriate thoughts in her mind and thinking back to the matter itself, Gao couldn't help but sigh again.
The Great Yong territory fell into the hands of foreign races, which was a scene that no citizen of the Great Yong wanted to see.
However, it is not easy to overthrow the Queen Mother and make the world believe all this.
Let’s not talk about the people of Dayong, let’s talk about Emperor Xiaoming…
If someone told him now that he was not the Queen Mother's biological son, and that her true bloodline descendants were in the Northern Barbarians, and that the Queen Mother was conspiring with those barbarians to plot against him to take the throne, he would definitely think that the person who told him these words was crazy!
The people won’t believe it either.
The Empress Dowager was the original wife of the late Emperor and held an exalted status. To slander her would be to tarnish the late Emperor's reputation in the hearts of the people.
"Your Highness is ready to reveal the truth?"
Gao said: "What are the rules? We can do our part."
"You have contributed. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to find out so quickly that the current emperor and the little princess who died young were swapped."
Gao was a little surprised. She had just learned about this. When had she helped King You?
Qi Xu explained: "My men checked the notes of Master Gao that you brought out from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and found evidence that the Queen Mother prayed for the little princess and gave her a name."
Of course, this evidence is only useful for them to judge the truth of the matter.
It would be less convincing if it was made public, and the Queen Mother had a hundred reasons to defend herself.
After all, both the little princess and Concubine Liu have passed away for many years and there is no evidence to prove their mistake.
"I sent people to search the letters in your mansion without your and Lord Wei's permission. I was presumptuous." Qi Xu said apologetically.
Gao shook her head. "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. It is my honor to have my private collection put to use. The Wei family's mansion has been sealed by the current emperor, and the things in the mansion have been rummaged through many times. Fortunately, they only took the gold and silver treasures and were not interested in the books."
"Most of the things confiscated from the Wei Mansion by the imperial court are in the private vault of the emperor and the hands of the Ling family. When the Wei family returns to the capital in the future, I will return all the things that were moved out of the mansion in their original state." Qi Xu said seriously.
Gao's heart skipped a beat.
What she cared about was not the things that were confiscated by the court, but...
From what King You said, he was referring to the capital city!
It seemed that he was telling them clearly that he wanted to fight for that chair!
Taking a deep breath, Gao straightened her expression and said, "My grandfather once predicted your fate, saying that you are the reincarnation of the Purple Star, and can protect Dayong and lead Dayong to prosperity. I believe what my grandfather said."
There is no need to make it more obvious, the Tianshi Mansion and the Wei Family have already made it clear that they are on the side of King You.
It's not that they think King You has a chance to inherit the throne and want to gain a share of the credit, but the current situation does not allow them to remain neutral. Moreover, King You is a monarch who truly serves the country and the people. Only when he sits on that throne can the Great Yong be peaceful.
Gao and Wei Maolin had already discussed it.
If King You told them explicitly that he intended to fight for the throne, they would also make clear their support.
As early as Emperor Xiaoming banished the Wei family from the capital because of the past events of Tianshi Mansion, the Wei family and King You had been tied to the same boat.
Putting aside the prejudices of love, Gao said solemnly: "Although we are far away from the capital now, we can still do our best. If Your Highness can use the Wei family and me, please feel free to arrange it."
"Okay, if there is a real need, I won't be polite to the Wei family." Qi Xu responded.
However, he never intended to use the Wei family to do anything, nor did he intend to let the Wei family do things under his orders.
To this day, apart from Wei Mingyi, who is responsible for water management under him, he and the Wei family have always had a relationship of mutual help.
There may be some selfish motives in this. He is not going to break this relationship and really treat the Wei family as his subordinates.
"Today, in addition to informing you of the results of last night's incident, I have one more thing that I think I should inform you of in advance."
Wei Yunlan was a little surprised to hear Qi Xu's words.
It was obviously not a trivial matter for him to mention it so seriously.
What else happened in the past two days?
"Your Highness, please speak."
"The Northern Barbarian Chanyu has just recovered from a serious illness and wants to gather the Northern Barbarian tribes for a military exercise in ten days."
"I want to expose the fact that the second prince of the Huyan tribe is still a hostage in Dayong that day, and use the second prince of the Huyan tribe to exchange Changning for the Northern Barbarians."
Qi Xu looked serious. At the end, he showed a gentle smile to Wei Yunlan and Gao, who were already dumbfounded, and continued, "Madam Wei, Miss Wei, if nothing unexpected happens, Changning will be able to come back before the end of the year."
"She can spend a good new year with you."
