"Among the refugees, an old man in his 60s and 70s came to me with a porcelain bowl with only a gap. It was strange that he didn't drink porridge, but just stared at me... I asked him what was wrong with the old man. He asked me excitedly and stumbling that I was the second son of the Wu family. Without my answer, he said that I and my mother, no, were my biological mother and were born very well Like. "
Wu jingling whispered: "I thought to myself, my late biological mother, aunt Bai, was only the maid of my wife's dowry. How could I know this old man? Later, I learned that the old man was a eunuch who escaped from the palace... Later, when I went out for a trip, he took me to sneak into the imperial mausoleum in Youzhou from the secret road... The daughter of the great emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum. At that time, I saw the daughter of the emperor Ji Portrait... "
As like as two peas, I was eight years old, and I remember that she was quite clear about her appearance. The person in the painting was exactly the same as her. When I returned to Ningyang, I secretly checked the life of my aunt, but nowhere, I could not find a portrait of my aunt. It was as if there had never been such a person in the world.
Wu jingling looked at Dingnan King: "If she was really just an ordinary concubine, why did everything related to her disappear so clean after her death? The more so, whether there was something strange in it? Then later, more and more evidence and well-known past events were put in front of me one by one, I was able to be sure that my biological mother was indeed Baoqing emperor Ji of the Da Sheng dynasty!"
Former Emperor Ji?!
Wu Tsung was quite surprised.
Although there are many guesses about the second uncle's motivation, he has never thought about it
Wu ran was even more surprised and subconsciously clenched his second brother's sleeve.
Wu Jingming was shocked and fell into the past, feeling a little trance.
Aunt Bai, the second brother's biological mother
He is somewhat impressed.
Everyone knows that it was his mother's dowry servant girl. She lived alone in the same hospital all her life. It seems that she appeared less than before because of her poor health
When the second brother was eight years old, aunt Bai was ill for a long time
He remembers that year, Emperor Zhaoren of the great prosperity Dynasty died in Youzhou, and his queen died with him. At that time, the situation had been in chaos, and there were chaotic troops everywhere. Because emperor Zhaoren had no empress, the great prosperity Dynasty completely declined
Although the Wu family has never stood under a dangerous wall, it has always been closely connected with political affairs. As a child of the Wu family, he is naturally impressed with such an important node.
Therefore, he clearly remembered that Aunt Bai died in the same year as emperor Zhaoren
But if aunt Bai is really the daughter of emperor Zhaoren and the concubine of emperor Baoqing - why did she become her father's concubine as his mother's dowry servant girl?!
"Father... Is what the second brother said really true?" Wu Jingming asked in surprise.
It's supposed to be the private affair of the father of the previous generation. As a son of man, he shouldn't bother more
But is the second brother really the royal blood of the previous dynasty?
Before the decline of the great prosperous Dynasty, the people were civilized. Indeed, there was a precedent for the emperor Ji to succeed to the throne if he had no children.
Dingnan King ignored the eldest son's question, just looked at Wu jingling and asked, "you never thought that the old eunuch lied to you. All this was just a scam. However, someone saw your unwillingness to live under others. With the identity of the Wu family, do you want to use you to make things happen?"
Wu jingling's face changed: "it's true or false, and I can tell clearly!"
As he spoke, his eyes were firmly nailed to the old man's face: "it's my father. Don't you dare even admit it?"
The king of Dingnan looked at him for a moment and said, "it's just an old thing. What do I dare not admit - I just want to tell you that even if it's false, you will also be deceived and used!"
Wu Jingming heard the point.
——'even if' is false '?
So... It's true!
"The appearance of this identity gives you an outlet to vent. You are willing to believe it is true. Even if there is no evidence, you will still choose to believe it." Dingnan Wang's eyes are cold and disappointed after seeing through everything: "It doesn't matter what you say. You don't care whether it will be used. The important thing is that with this so-called identity of emperor Ji's son, you will no longer be the humble bastard of the Wu family in your eyes. This identity is enough to fill your missing self-esteem and let you finally have the name of feeding ambition!"
"But have you ever thought about what happened to the son of emperor Ji of the former dynasty? You are not the only one in the ancestral clan of the former dynasty. The decline of the former dynasty has nothing to do with Xie and the people in the world! This identity is not the reason why you kill your father and brother, kill your blood relatives and younger generation, and try to cause trouble in the world!"
These words made Wu jingling's eyes red, and his voice trembled because of excessive excitement: "Yes, you're right. I don't care about being used at all! And those who want to use me have been removed by me over the years! No one can use me! But you're wrong! I'm not in trouble. The world has been ill for a long time. I must break it and then stand up. I'll rebuild a just order!"
When he first learned the truth, the Dasheng Dynasty could not be called the former dynasty. There were still several clan children competing for the throne in the chaos, but they were all weak.
The old eunuch secretly told him to watch the change.
He has been waiting
So he waited until the Xie family took his place, the great prosperity and destruction, and Daqing was established.
Seeing that the people are trapped by injustice at the foot of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he increasingly feels that someone must clean up the world!
And he is the right man——
Looking at the man with a bit of madness in his eyes, Wu Tsui asked, "have you ever thought about what people all over the world need more than the word justice in your mouth?"
Wu jingling turned back and looked at him closely.
"All they need now is a chance to live. Only when they live can they have a chance to see justice." the young man's tone was calm and powerful: "But the word" purge "in uncle Er's mouth comes at the cost of human life in the world. If you don't even have the most basic compassion and fear for all living beings, how can you talk about justice? I'm afraid the so-called word" justice "is just the imagination of uncle Er to satisfy himself and deceive others."
As my grandfather said, this is just an excuse for my second uncle to fill his self-esteem.
What I said about the position of Wu family leader is disdain, but is it really disdain?
And this disdain is also supported by the so-called fairness and injustice. He thinks he is standing at the highest place - this support has blinded all his second uncle's perceptions. He can't really wake up until he breaks it.
Wu jingling suddenly clenched his hands when he heard the speech, and a surge of anger rushed to his head: "What do you know! You don't know what injustice is! You haven't experienced it, how do you know that what I'm going to do is imagination? You were born legitimate sons, everything is above others, and your existence is the source of injustice! The initiator, with hypocritical pity, came to talk to me about the righteousness of the common people... What hypocrisy!"
"And you, father -" Wu jingling smiled strangely, and his eyes were extremely sarcastic: "my father is always righteous and respected, and the Lord of the Wu family is dignified and inviolable... But what's inside? It was not you who tricked my mother into entering the Wu family as a concubine and left her in the cold and depressed when she had no use value anymore!"
"I don't know where you heard it, or if some people who don't know whether it's true or false have ulterior motives, they speculate." Dingnan king didn't see anger, his eyes didn't dodge, and his voice was loud: "but I can tell you that the Wu family didn't owe your mother and son anything!"
Never owe?
Wu jingling sneered and flattened his slightly green lips.
"If you want to know the whole truth, you can ask me yourself, but dare you?" Dingnan Wang's eyes were like a sharp light: "you dare not! Because you still only believe what you are willing to believe, you are afraid to ask. If the truth is different from what you speculate, you will have no reason to hate the Wu family, and you can no longer calculate revenge!"
"I asked, will you admit it!" Wu jingling suddenly raised his voice: "You are clearly the one who is afraid! If not, why do you hide me so far? I know what you are afraid of! - you are afraid that once I know the truth and know my true identity, the identity of the common son of the Wu family will no longer bind me! You are afraid that I will be unwilling and block the way of your real legitimate son and my brother!"
"No one wants to bind you! What can I do if I bind you? My Wu family is full of people who want to be cattle and horses! It's your own demons that bind you! Jingling, you're too paranoid!"
Dingnan Wang's tone, with little emotional exposure, has a trace of imperceptible sadness: "The aristocratic family has attached great importance to the legitimate and the common for thousands of years. The more powerful the family is, the more deeply rooted it is. We can't shake it alone! Besides being the head of the family, have you ever been treated badly by the Wu family even if you are a common son? Your mother regards you as her own, your brother has never been estranged from you, your legitimate nephew and younger generation respect you and attach importance to you, and I will give you the important things in the family You take care of it!... it's your own heart that has a magic barrier. What you see is unfair! "
"When people live in the world, they will encounter adversity, or destiny, or misfortune the day after tomorrow. However, these are not the reasons to kill their father and brother! Remember, wrong is wrong!" Dingnan Wang looked at his second son with red eyes: "you are so depressed and unwilling. Now it is clear that as a father, I can't understand it at all! But what about you? You can solve the heart of the Wu family to treat you!"
Wu jingling's tone was very stubborn: "then why on earth did you never dare to tell me the truth of your life experience!"
"It's not my intention to hide it from you, but your biological mother's decision!"
"..." Wu jingling's trembling body suddenly froze.
Dingnan King Dingsheng said, "when she died, you were eight years old. If she wanted to tell you, could others stop you? She didn't want you to explore! Even before she died, she also sent a letter to me and repeatedly told you not to mention her old things with you. This letter is still there. If you want to see it, you can get it immediately."
Baoqing once told him that those who knew the truth were gone. As long as he kept it from him, jingling would never touch the truth.
But it can't be contained in paper.
But these are Baoqing's past. She doesn't want to tell, and he can only choose to respect.
But now we can't hide it after all.
The king of Dingnan has sent someone to get the letter.
Wu jingling opened his mouth and seemed to want to refuse, but he didn't make a sound.
"Father..." Wu Jingming glanced at the old man's expression and wanted to ask about the internal entanglement that emperor Baoqing Ji entered the house as a concubine.
However, I heard my son say, "if my grandfather needs to talk to his second uncle alone, my grandson and ah Zhang will retire first."
Wu Shizi glanced at his son.
Alone?
So he can't hear it?
It's not easy to get so close to the old man's emotional gossip
Although his mood was complicated and heavy at the moment, the burning heart of gossip did not listen to advice and just had to drill out without winking.
On the other hand, is there any basic curiosity in his family?
But seeing the old man nodding, Wu Jingming was forced to retreat with the two children.
When the door of the study was closed, Wu Chiu leaned against the door and guarded the door.
Wu Jingming raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "why don't you go?"
Wu Chiu said, "I'm afraid my second uncle has gone too far. If you hear the news, you can deal with it in time."
Wu Jingming: "
In short, it's just eavesdropping!
I cheated him out and listened to him!
At this moment, Wu Shizi only hated that he didn't practice martial arts since he was a child, and his ears were not as good as people.
Although he was unwilling, he could only take his little son with the same skills to the corridor to wait.
"Today, I will tell you about your biological mother's entry into the house --" when there was no third person in the study, King Dingnan spoke about the causes and consequences of the old thing in a low and calm voice: "you must have verified that I had an engagement with your biological mother Baoqing Diji when I was a child."
He did not reject this engagement, nor did he have much joy. He just knew that there was this engagement. When he met the emperor Ji at the palace banquet or hunting, he knew that it was the person he would marry in the future.
For him, that's all.
But later, Emperor Zhaoren lost two sons one after another. He had no prince at his knees and was old. It was almost impossible to have children again——
Baoqing emperor Ji was the unmarried eldest daughter of the palace and smart. Therefore, a minister proposed to temporarily establish her as a prince to settle the hearts of the people.
This decision undoubtedly clashed with the engagement.
As the eldest son of the Wu family in Ningyang, it is impossible for him to join the royal family.
Finally, his father came forward and asked for an order to terminate the engagement.
Emperor Zhaoren dared not refuse.
The year after the dissolution of the engagement, the family chose a new marriage for him.
Another year, he married his wife, and that was his current first wife.
Since he is married, he should give love.
The next year, the eldest daughter was also born.
It was the mid autumn festival that year that he was called to go to the palace to dinner with his wife.
At the banquet, Emperor Zhaoren appeared for only a quarter of an hour, and hurried out of the banquet because of an urgent report to the palace.
In the middle of the banquet, the waiter near emperor Zhaoren came to deliver a message, saying that his majesty invited him to discuss the matter.
Although the Wu family has a false title, they rarely really participate in the affairs of state affairs, but the emperor can't refuse when he is in the palace.
The accident happened that night.
