Qiao Yuyan brought the topic back with one sentence, and Wen Shouti also looked at his father, "Yes, Dad, does this have anything to do with us?"
"It is said that the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty supported the Holy Emperor to ascend the throne. In the year when the former Crown Prince was born, the Holy Emperor, in order to show his friendship to the Queen of Yuan, divided the map where the real mausoleum of the ancestor Emperor is located into two parts, and gave half of it to the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty.
.”
This shocked Qiao Yuyan and Wen Shoudi.
Qiao Yuyan asked hesitantly: "So... the map is missing?"
"What you don't know is that every monarch who inherits the throne of my Daqi must pay homage to the ancestral emperor twice in his life. The first time is to sue the ancestral emperor. The person who inherits my Daqi will be from the ancestral emperor.
In the mausoleum, take out the jade seal that has only symbolic meaning.
The second time, after one year after taking the throne, the imperial seal was placed back in the tomb of the ancestor emperor, and the seal was used to nourish the dragon's veins, which also meant that the ancestor emperor would enjoy the country forever."
The wind outside the window seemed to have stopped, and the sound of needle drops could be heard throughout the study.
The maps in the two paintings Wen Qiongyu mentioned just now...
"So, that jade seal is still in the ancestral emperor's tomb?" Wen Shooti's voice was a little stuttered, "For example... if the new emperor ascends the throne and fails to go to the ancestral emperor's mausoleum to worship, then...
…”
“Actually, who can say whether there are actual worship services, but it is difficult to win over the people!
What's more, according to what I said at the beginning of Daqi's founding of the country, the seal stamped on the book of sacrifice to heaven for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony is this jade seal passed down to the country, and it is also the only purpose of this jade seal."
Qiao Yuyan hid her face and was speechless. She even thought about whether the secrets hidden by the Wen, Song, and Qiao families were some sort of treasure map or some of the most confidential documents of the royal family.
But it is such an important map!
"Then... in my calligraphy and painting..."
Seeing how nervous she was, Wen Qiongyu stretched out his hand and pressed it, as if to make her calm down, "That's just part of it."
"So, does this mean that the three of us divided the map?" Wen Shouti's voice was really trembling this time.
What's going on?!
This is a matter of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
That is the imperial seal!
Qiao Yuyan turned around and saw that this young man, who was currently the most promising in his family, was covered in fine sweat on his forehead.
As if he couldn't bear it anymore, he quickly walked to Wen Qiongyu's desk and said, "Dad, this matter is not trivial. It will only take the Holy Father these two days for my son to get the news.
The enthronement ceremony will be held on the twenty-seventh day after the new emperor's mourning ceremony. We really don't have much time. We should take advantage of this gap to unite with the other two families to find the remaining maps and give them to the seventh prince. Only in this way can we resolve the crisis in our family.
!”
Qiao Yuyan looked at their father and son, with a myriad of thoughts in her heart.
In fact, Wen Shooti was right, and it was also the best choice for the Wen, Song, and Qiao families.
The Seventh Prince is about to succeed to the throne. If we don't show him the utmost sincerity at this time, how will we be able to live in the future?
But Qiao Yuyan knew clearly in her heart that the third prince was the last person to ascend to the throne of God in his previous life.
The man who should have been dead for years!
But now, how can she say this?
Rumors in the capital still linger that the Holy Emperor has an illegitimate child, and the third prince has long been history.
If she talked about it, no one would believe her. If people asked her where she got the information, she wouldn't know how to explain it.
What's more, Qiao Yuyan has no idea how the third prince achieved the final victory in his previous life. If she acts rashly, will it ruin their plans?
I don't know why, even though she had never met the Third Prince Qiao Yuyan, when she heard about the past, she firmly stood by the Third Prince's side.
If what Wen Qiongyu said is true, with such a mother and two such brothers, this third prince must be extraordinary.
Moreover, after going through hardships, he must have a strong character and be better able to understand the sufferings in the world.
On the other hand, Qiao Yuyan's sense of the Seventh Prince was extremely poor after only a few meetings with him.
She had to think of a way to prevent that map from falling into the hands of the seventh prince.
While her mind was spinning, Wen Qiongyu spoke, "Sanlang, I want you and your sixth aunt to know about this matter, and I'm not asking you to provide any ideas or ideas.
I just want you to know about this and what the current situation is.
Nowadays, your second uncle is far away and has always been dishonest. Your sixth uncle has left home because of this matter. Your fourth brother is a useless and simple scholar. Now among the men in the family, you are the only one who can help him.
Fatherhood one or two.
You should keep your responsibilities in mind. Not only should you be careful in your words and deeds outside, but you should also look after the children of the Gu clan. Don't be so happy about your success that you may sow the seeds of disaster."
When Wen Shoudi heard this, he nodded solemnly and said, "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely order all the Wen family children outside to not let anyone cause trouble."
Wen Qiong and Wen Yan turned to Qiao Yuyan, "Originally, I was planning to find the Chu family, but now it seems that she is still more interested in the second room, and does not care about the entire Wen family. I really can't rest assured. Relatively speaking,
The sixth brother is still not an official and has never been an official, so you are more trustworthy.
The eldest wife is okay as a housekeeper, but she pays too much attention to personal gains and losses, and is afraid that others will climb on her head, so she is too narrow-minded in doing things.
Coming out of a small family, the Chen family is almost the same as the eldest wife, and her temper is more impatient, and it is difficult for her to be entrusted with big responsibilities.
Needless to say, Princess Jiahe, her identity is sensitive, and your third sister-in-law..."
Wen Qiongyu did not make any actual comments, but just shook his head slightly, "It is not easy for the fourth sister-in-law to be a widow, and she has not been out and about for so many years, I am afraid that not everyone in the house can recognize her. The fifth sister-in-law and the fifth brother are obsessed with poetry and books.
, if you still don’t bother me, you will be the only one left.”
Qiao Yuyan originally didn't want to get involved in the specific affairs of the Wen family's inner house. For her, it was only right to endure Wen Tingyuan's appointment and the old lady's death, and then they could just separate and live their own lives.
The farther away you are from the people in the Wen family's mansion, the better.
But who would have thought that at this moment, everyone would be pushed forward.
And the way Wen Qiong looked at her at this moment made her unable to refuse.
When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
What's more, the Qiao family and the Wen family were firmly tied together in this matter, and she was destined to be involved.
Therefore, after sighing in her heart, Qiao Yuyan stood up and saluted Wen Qiong seriously, "As I said just now, since I have married, I am naturally a member of the Wen family.
Under the same surname, one will be prosperous and one will suffer. Since my uncle can be of use to me, I can just give you orders. I can’t say how well I can do it. I can only promise that I will try my best to do everything."
Wen Qiongyu breathed out a heavy breath, "Okay! This sentence is enough!"
