Sicang then put down his chopsticks, and his deep voice sounded calm and calm: "Back then, when the princes were competing for the throne, the Feng family was the most powerful supporter of the current emperor. But the reason why the former emperor chose the current emperor was not only because he had the Queen Mother and the Feng family behind him.
The support is mainly because the Ji family donated five million taels of silver to fill the national treasury."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything. She didn't know about her father's fight for the throne back then, and no one would dare to mention those inside stories now.
"At that time, the national treasury was empty, foreign enemies invaded, and there was an urgent need for food, grass, military equipment. The emperor followed the Queen Mother's wishes and married a girl from the Ji family. As a sign of loyalty, the Ji family used five million taels of silver to solve Dayong's urgent need at the critical moment." Sicang
The words were concise and concise, stating the whole story, "The late emperor appointed the emperor as the crown prince, and decreed that the Ji family should be the crown princess. He could not divorce his wife in this life, and he could not abolish the queen after he ascended the throne. As long as the emperor reigns for one day, he must ensure that the Ji family is the queen."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
According to the late emperor's decree, as long as the father reigns, the Ji family must be the queen, so there is no reason for the father to abolish the queen and re-establish her.
If someone else wants to take the position of queen, the queen mother must die.
Sicang was silent for a moment, then threw a thunderbolt: "After the Emperor ascended the throne, he accidentally learned that he was not the biological son of the Queen Mother."
What?
Yun Zishu was stunned and looked at Sicang in surprise: "Isn't your father the biological son of the Queen Mother?"
Sicang nodded slowly.
Yun Zishu was slightly shocked: "How is that possible?"
"Everything I say is true."
Yun Zishu didn't know what to say and remained silent for a moment, but she couldn't hide the look of shock in her eyes.
After a long time, my heart calmed down little by little, and it gradually became clear.
No wonder.
No wonder his father was hostile to the Feng family. In addition to being wary of the Feng family's military power, it turned out that the Feng family was not his biological uncle at all?
This secret was really not what she expected. Yun Zishu did not know in her previous life until her death that her father was not the biological son of the Queen Mother. If this was the secret Sicang had, then her father would not dare to kill him, because
No one knows what backup plan Sicang left behind.
If he really dies unexpectedly, will someone reveal the emperor's life experience?
"It's a long story, but it's just two words: Mother is more valuable than son." Sicang's voice was always calm, "Back then, the Queen Mother was in urgent need of a son to consolidate her position, but she gave birth to a daughter. At that time, the Feng family was very powerful.
, her wrists were almost as high as the sky, and the Queen Mother bribed the outside wives and the nuns in the palace to create a drama of "a raccoon cat for a prince", and the princess she gave birth to was sent out of the palace and returned with a son.
"
Yun Zishu's expression changed slightly.
The concubines in the palace compete for favor, and the son is valued based on the mother, and the mother is valued based on the son. This is a saying that people have always talked about. A low-status concubine can be promoted by giving birth to a prince, and the prince and princess will also be promoted based on the grade of the mother.
But there is a difference between honor and inferiority.
For the sake of profit in the harem, all kinds of ways to compete for favor are endless. Only what others can't think of, there is nothing they can't do.
Even the dignified Ninth Five Supreme Beings cannot fully know what their concubines have done.
There are many examples of being kept in the dark.
But it wasn't until she heard it with her own ears that Yun Zishu understood how sinister and ruthless the fight for favor in the harem was. She didn't even care about her own flesh and blood, and would exchange them at her request. She even bribed Po Wen, the nanny, and everyone outside the palace who needed to participate in the "child exchange".
Those who plan".
It is indeed an exaggeration to say that one hand covers the sky.
It can be seen from this that the power of the Feng family is indeed so great that people have to be afraid of it.
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, picked up her chopsticks again, and digested the shocking secret Sicang told her while eating.
For anyone, it would be frightening to hear that the current emperor has no royal blood and is just a fake emperor whose identity has been confused, not to mention that this man is his biological father.
It is impossible to say that Yun Zishu was not shocked.
But her shock only lasted a short time. After quietly finishing lunch with Sicang, she retreated, leaving only Sicang talking in the hall.
"So the father knows that he is not the Queen Mother's biological son?" Yun Zishu asked, sitting in front of the window with a tea cup in hand.
Sicang nodded: "Yes."
"Uncle Feng used to be my father's uncle. Even though he was afraid, he still had some scruples. Now that he is sure that he has no blood relationship with the Feng family, he naturally wants to get rid of the Feng family without any scruples." Yun said.
Zishu breathed a sigh of relief, "When the Queen Mother did this, I don't know if she ever thought about today's situation."
Sicang remained silent.
He didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking back then, and he wasn't interested in knowing, but now that the situation was like this, it was pointless to think about it any more.
Yun Zishu said: "What happened after the princess was replaced? The Queen Mother never thought about getting her back?"
After all, she was her biological daughter. She was born with wealth and wealth, and she deserved to enjoy glory and wealth. Unfortunately, all of this was destroyed at the hands of her biological mother.
"The whereabouts of that princess have always been under the control of the Queen Mother." Si Cang pursed his lips slightly, looked out the window, and hesitated for a while, "Your Highness, don't you want to know the emperor's true life experience?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly, looking at the rare hesitation on his face, and an incredible thought came to her mind, "He..."
"He is Ji Jiazi."
Yun Zishu was stunned, and only then did all the truth finally come to light.
The emperor is a son of the Ji family, so of course he cannot marry a daughter of the Ji family, so the Queen Ji who married the prince was not actually a real daughter of the Ji family.
Following the wishes of the Queen Mother, she married a girl from the Ji family... The Queen Mother made the decision for this marriage. Does this prove that the Queen Mother knew that the daughter of the Ji family was not her biological child?
Yun Zishu finally understood: "So my mother is of royal blood and is the biological daughter of the Queen Mother?"
Sicang nodded.
Yun Zishu fell silent, her brows slowly taking on a cold color.
No wonder her father had to let her die.
Because her existence always reminds him that he is not of true royal blood. As long as she is alive, the father will remember that her mother is the true heir of the royal family.
He was worried that his life experience would be exposed, so the Feng family had to die, and her daughter had to die too, and she died in the Xiao family, so that he could get away with the crime of killing his daughter personally, and he could also have a handle on the Xiao family.
Sure enough...the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea.
Yun Zishu suddenly felt tired. Many doubts had been answered in a reasonable way at this moment, but she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.
