"Your uncle led the Wei army and had many victories."
"Emperor Kaizu and the ancestors of the Wei family were like brothers, and they suffered together."
The Wei family supported Emperor Kaizu to resist foreign enemies and internal troubles. He gave the Wei family the highest treatment and even said that if you see Brother Wei, it is like seeing me.
After Emperor Kaizu died, the ancestors of the Wei family assisted the new emperor.
Generation after generation, the country was stable.
"But not all descendants of the Ying family are Emperor Kaizu. They are dissatisfied with the power of the Wei family." But
they were afraid of the Wei family and didn't want to turn against them.
Until the late emperor...
"The late emperor valued your uncle."
"But Miss Shen's name appeared on the list of candidates."
"Before your uncle died, he was thinking about her all the time."
Ning Suchan picked up three Buddhist scriptures, folded them three times, and put them on the burning candle. After they were lit, she bent down and put them into the basin beside her.
Under the firelight, her emotions flickered.
Ning Suchan continued to pick up three more, folded them, and burned them.
"Do you know why your father married me?"
He also did not wait for Wei Zhao to respond.
"At the beginning, I was chosen as a daughter-in-law by Concubine Yue. It seemed to be Concubine Yue's idea, but in fact, it was tacitly approved by the late emperor."
"Concubine Yue didn't know, so she was obsessed with training me. And since I entered the palace, I was destined not to be the third prince's wife."
This...
Wei Zhao frowned.
Ning Suchan: "The legitimate daughter of Ningguo Marquis who was broken off by the royal family, do you think this is a humiliation of the royal family to the Wei family?"
"Your father is such a proud son of heaven, why not marry anyone else but me?"
"Outsiders only know that he took the initiative to marry and begged the late emperor for me. This is not wrong, but the premise is that the late emperor had talked to your grandfather in advance."
What did he say?
It was nothing more than that the third prince and Concubine Yue were too thoughtful and coveted the throne. He wanted to punish them, so he gave them the daughter of the Zhou family, a small family, as a warning. But he was afraid of mistreating the legitimate daughter of Ningguo Marquis's mansion.
——"You have always been the most thoughtful. Why don't you help me see which boy in Shangjing is a good match for her?"
"The late emperor mentioned your uncle and lamented that your uncle has been away from home for many years to defend the country and has never married. He is worried."
This Chunchun is disgusting.
She took General Jingyuan's sweetheart into the harem, but said she was worried about his marriage.
"So, in the end, your father married me."
Ning Suchan didn't know that after Old Master Wei went back and mentioned it to his two sons, Wei Fengxing knelt on the ground and said that he would marry.
It's not because he was restrained, but it happened to be the one his heart belonged to. It can be regarded as waiting for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine, but this move never asked Miss Ning's opinion, which is not a gentleman's behavior.
"It is said that the late emperor valued the Prince of Yan, and that the Prince of Yan
would have been the crown prince sooner or later." "The late emperor brought the Prince of Yan to his side to handle government affairs, but in the end it was that person who
ascended the throne. Many people are saying that the late emperor's will is fake." "The will was made up of three copies. One was left to the late emperor's trusted eunuch, one was left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and one was given to your grandfather before he died."
Ning Suchan seemed to be recalling.
The late emperor passed away, and the capital was in chaos. The prince who was the least favored on the throne now sat on the throne with the imperial edict
in his hand. He raised an army to besiege the imperial city on the grounds of maintaining order in the imperial city and fearing that someone with ulterior motives would do evil and rebel. He came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with two copies of the will and the heads of the so-called eunuchs with ulterior motives.
At that time, many people privately said that the will must be fake.
"Your grandfather later gave the will to your father."
"Your father gave it to me before he died."
Wei Zhao's eyes became sharp.
He had never heard his grandfather and father mention it.
"It doesn't make sense."
"If the will is false, then he ascended the throne. When my uncle comes back from the border, why don't he join forces with the loyal and brave marquis and other generals to take the will in grandfather's hands and restore order? Even if it is dangerous, but..."
Ning Suchan burned all the Buddhist scriptures.
"But the will is empty."
Wei Zhao felt a chill on his back, and the blood in his body seemed to have stopped flowing.
What does it mean that the will given by the previous emperor is empty?
Thinking of what Ning Suchan said before, Wei Zhao suddenly had a terrible idea.
The late emperor may
have never thought of letting the Prince of Yan ascend the throne from the beginning.
Otherwise, why didn't he make the Prince of Yan the crown prince when the crown prince died? But dragged it out?
The emperors of all dynasties lived under the shadow of the children of the Wei family.
He was using the Prince of Yan to cultivate the third prince's ambition. He
also used Ning Suchan as a fuse to cultivate the third prince's hatred for the Shunguo Mansion.
Perhaps since the Yue concubine took a fancy to Ning Suchan, the Prince of Yan and the Shunguo Mansion had been forced to join the game.
It is not easy to marry a girl who has been rejected.
But there are exceptions, such as this girl's family background is not bad, and her talent, character and appearance are better.
All the children of the aristocratic families are ready to move, but dare to come to the door to ask for the person who was cultivated by the concubine?
Ning Suchan is qualified to be the head of a palace. She entered the Wei family and was granted by the emperor. Who would not say that it was a heaven-sent marriage. The late emperor valued the Wei family?
The will in the grandfather's hand was empty.
What about the edict of the trusted eunuch and the Yangxin Palace?
If it said to establish Emperor Yingqian, why would the trusted eunuch be beheaded?
Unless it said to establish the Prince of Yan as the emperor.
As long as Emperor Yingqian rebelled, the purpose of killing the trusted eunuch would be achieved.
What a deep plot.
What about the Yingqian Emperor he cultivated?
Ning Suchan admitted: "Mother did see him."
"He was after the edict."
"After your father left, he became more unscrupulous. He turned the bedroom upside down."
The portrait was taken away at that time, and he said a lot of disgusting things to her.
"I know what kind of person he is, he won't let it go." "
He also found the edict, it's empty, but he doesn't believe it."
"The guards in the mansion are as strong as a copper wall, but there are people who are still thieves. It's useless to just guard against it."
Even if Emperor Yingqian had bad intentions towards Ning Suchan, if it got out of hand, he would be the only one who couldn't get through.
Moreover, he was sure that Ning Suchan was hiding the edict. As long as the edict was there, it would be a hidden danger, so he didn't dare to touch her.
But Wei Zhao was already fully grown and had more means. He was restrained and feared.
Ning Suchan had a trump card in her hand, so why was she afraid to deal with it?
Wei Zhao's eyes were full of emotions.
Therefore, after Emperor Ying Qian ascended the throne, he also learned from the previous emperor and treated everyone as chess pieces.
No other prince could compare to him in treating Wei Zhao well. While attracting hatred, he also figured out his thoughts and laid the foundation for what happened later.
For example...
knowing that he would sneak back to the capital.
While looking for the will, he killed two birds with one stone.
What he said that night... was deliberately said to him.
What he found out later was indeed correct, but it was also what Emperor Ying Qian wanted him to find out.
Emperor Ying Qian calculated his temper and thought he would not want to live.
The Wei family's descendants were cut off, and they were no longer a fear of the royal family.
Wei Zhao said with difficulty: "Why didn't mother mention the will to me at the beginning?"
Ning Suchan: "I dare not."
"He also expected that I would not dare."
Ning Suchan looked at him.
"After your uncle passed away, the Wei family army that he left behind had been eyeing him covetously. No matter how capable your father was, he was not good at commanding troops."
"He had someone poison your father. The poison would only weaken his body, but not kill him. If your father had taken good care of his illness, nothing would have happened."
"After your father passed away, civil and military officials speculated that it was his handiwork. The rumors were so strong that the Wei family only had a moment to breathe. You were the one who took on the burden of the Wei family at that time. How could your mother tell you that since the death of the previous emperor, as a man, the Wei family was doomed to fail."
"Your father used his death to exchange for your life."
This left a glimmer of hope for the Shunguo Mansion.
