Chapter 274 Make up your mind
As Dean Chen slowly spoke, Chen Qiao remained silent.
Dean Chen seemed to be recalling some things from that time, and his turbid eyes revealed a little regret.
Dean Chen looked at Chen Qiao at this time: "You should already know your identity, right?"
Chen Qiao nodded and shook his head again.
He looked at Dean Chen: "You have known these things long ago, President, right?"
Dean Chen did not answer.
But Shen Qiao has found the answer he wants.
"I didn't expect that you would be the last one after the last moment! I was also surprised when I received this news."
President Chen shook his head and said regretfully, "The Shen family suffered a catastrophe back then, and hundreds of people from all over the Shen family were brutally wiped out... But unexpectedly, you still survived your only bloodline."
Seventeen years... Perhaps it should be said that it was eighteen years ago. He still remembered the turmoil in the capital.
That year, President Chen was still in the capital. As an imperial teacher, he witnessed that experience with his own eyes.
Shenqiao is silent.
When he chose to come here today, many truths have actually surfaced.
Some things are not difficult to check.
While in the valley, the young man in white had already revealed enough clues.
Chen Qiao's identity and origin of Chen Qiao, why so many people want him to die?
When all the problems have clues and directions, it is easy to find them.
After all, what happened in the capital back then could not be concealed by everyone.
Eighteen years ago, the Shen family, which was at its peak in the capital, was suddenly attacked by a large number of assassins.
More than 100 people from the Shen family were killed by assassins overnight.
This incident shocked the entire capital.
No one expected that the Shen family, which was once famous in the capital, would end up like this in the end.
For a time, there were many different opinions in the entire capital and undercurrents were surging.
The Shen family was originally one of the most powerful families in the capital.
The head of the Shen family at that time was the left prime minister and was the most trusted minister of the emperor at that time.
Even at that time, Chen Xiang had passed away, the Shen family still had a minister of war. With the power of the Shen family over the years, they would definitely not be able to lose much.
No one expected that there would be a group of assassins who would destroy the Shen family.
No one knows the origin of that group of assassins.
No one knows how they appeared, and no one knows where they went.
The group of assassins was very powerful, so strong that even the guards of the prime minister's mansion could not stop them.
This case has become a unsolved case in the capital.
What is the truth of the matter?
No one knows.
Even if someone knows it, he dare not say it out.
The Shen family was famous at that time. The Shen family was as glorious as the Shen family was, and after Chen Xiang passed away, they would have established many enemies.
There are countless people in Beijing waiting for the Shen family to be unlucky.
And with the passing of Chen Xiang, all the demons and monsters jumped out.
No one knows who did this.
Things are definitely not that simple either.
It was a very sensitive period.
So many people are not very brave to discuss this matter now.
This news was also shocking to Chen Qiao.
The Shen family is gone.
But he is the only bloodline left by the Shen family.
Chen Qiao knew that his origin was good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
In a small Xujia Village, there is a figure like him at the level of a lie-in-the-dragon-phoenix-chicken...
And when Old Man Xu brought these intelligence reports, all the clues gradually became clear.
Chen Qiao's life experience was basically unraveled at this time.
"What happened to the Shen family is indeed beyond my expectations."
President Chen seemed to have thought of something, his expression full of regret.
"If your grandfather was not so stubborn back then, he wouldn't have established so many political enemies?"
"Your grandfather is an honest official and has made considerable contributions to the current prosperous era of Zhao State. However, although your grandfather is honest, he does not know how to adapt. Otherwise, with his identity as the prime minister of the country, even after he passed away, the Shen family would not have fallen to such a level..."
Chen Qiao was silent for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Director, do you... know the truth about that year?"
Things back then were definitely not that simple.
Even if the huge Shen family makes too many enemies, they will not be able to fall to such a level, right?
Furthermore, such a big thing happened in the capital area, why did the emperor who had just ascended the throne have no reaction at all?
"Is the truth..."
President Chen shook his head: "There is no truth. What you want to see is the truth."
Chen Qiao didn't say anything, he didn't understand.
"Do you know, Your Majesty is not the Prince of Zhao back then?"
Dean Chen suddenly mentioned another thing.
Chen Qiao was slightly stunned for a moment and nodded.
This is not a secret.
The emperor today is indeed not the prince, but was just a prince back then.
Nineteen years ago, the prince of the East Palace suddenly died suddenly, and he could not find any reason.
This incident caused shock to the Chao Tangzhong. No one expected that the young and middle-aged prince would suddenly die if he said he would die.
Before the First Emperor could make a new crown prince, the First Emperor also passed away.
It happened so suddenly that no one expected this.
Even if the former emperor left his will, he was made the new emperor, and many people were dissatisfied with the power of the capital.
This time, the capital was in chaos.
The princes who had no hope suddenly found that the first emperor and the prince were gone, and they were ready to move for a moment.
In the end, after nearly a year of civil strife in the prince's power struggle, the emperor has defeated all competitors and firmly sat in the throne of the emperor.
Immediately, he used extremely fast speed to clear out political enemies and consolidate the imperial power.
I have to say that the current emperor is indeed very powerful and skilled.
The case of the Shen family being destroyed eighteen years ago occurred during this period.
It was also during this chaotic period that no one could take care of anyone.
At that time, the royal emperor was busy fighting for power and profit, and the matter of the Shen family was gradually buried.
This happened nearly twenty years ago. Over the years, the emperor has been trying to conceal the things that happened back then, and some truth has long been buried.
Chen Qiao didn't know why President Chen would suddenly mention this matter.
"There is actually a bigger reason why the Shen family was targeted by so many enemies after the death of the previous emperor."
President Chen slowly spoke: "I was from the prince's lineage when I was so obedient to him."
"The prince of the Eastern Palace back then was very talented and had great wisdom and was very popular with the late emperor. If he had not died, the other princes would have no chance at all. The prince was extremely respectful of your grandfather, and everyone knew that your grandfather was from the prince's lineage. But he never expected that the prince would die suddenly, and the people from the prince's lineage would collapse..."
