A few of the characters mentioned in this chapter are a bit messy, so let's mark them first.

The Empress Dowager Zhang Xian is Liu E.

Empress Dowager Zhang Hui is Concubine Yang Shu.

Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is Concubine Li Chen.

......

"Da Lang, do you know, my biological mother, Empress Zhang Yi?"

Zhao Zhen went straight to the point, and when he came up, he mentioned a character that made Tang Yi a little confused.

"Empress Dowager Zhang Yi?" Tang Yi looked at Zhao Zhen with a distorted face in a daze.

This Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, he naturally knows.

Zhao Zhen's son, Zhao Heng, had a total of three queens during his lifetime, Queen Pan of Zhang Huai, Queen Guo of Zhang Mu, and Queen Liu of Zhang Xian.

After Zhao Heng's death, Zhao Zhen posthumously crowned the two concubines of the first emperor as the queen mother. They were the original Yang Shufei posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhang Hui, and Concubine Li Chen posthumously named Empress Dowager Zhang Yi.

At this time, Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to tell him a story, and mentioned the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, and a few big words subconsciously appeared in Tang Yi's head

Tanuki, change, too, son!

......

This is the famous passage in the book "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" written by Shi Yukun in the Qing Dynasty, which can be said to be known to everyone in later generations.

It is told that during the period of Song Zhenzong, Concubine Liu conspired with Guo Huai, the internal supervisor, to exchange the baby born to Concubine Li Chen with a skinned civet cat, and Concubine Li Chen was immediately sent to the cold palace.

After the death of Song Zhenzong, Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, and Bao Zheng was ordered to go to Chenzhou to investigate the fraud case of his uncle Pang Yu. On the way, Bao Zheng accepted the unjust case of Concubine Li, redressed her grievances, and welcomed the story of Concubine Li's return to the court.

And in the story, the poor Concubine Li Chen, who was ill-fated, was framed by Concubine Liu for giving birth to a demon, was robbed of a child, and was beaten into the cold palace, is the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi in Zhao Zhen's mouth at this time!

Of course, the paragraphs in the script are all made up, which is quite absurd.

However, although the reality is not as mysterious as the tanuki for the prince written in it, it is far more absurd than the skinned tanuki.

......

This Concubine Li Chen, who later became the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, is indeed a person, and she was indeed robbed of her child. The person who snatched her son was indeed Concubine Liu, that is, Liu E, the Empress Dowager of Zhang Xian, who almost became Wu Zetian 2.0.

Moreover, Concubine Li Chen's son did become the emperor later, which is now Zhao Zhen.

It's just that Concubine Li Chen in real history died without waiting for the mother and son to recognize each other. Moreover, Concubine Li Chen was not Concubine Chen when she gave birth to Zhao Zhen.

You must know that "Chen" literally means "North Star", which is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven and is noble.

Therefore, the "Concubine Chen" named after her is not an ordinary concubine, but the head of all concubines. At that time, Liu E had not yet become the queen, and Concubine Chen's grade was higher than her, so what did she say to rob?

"Concubine Chen" is just the "comfort" given by Liu E on the day of Li's death. Before this, Li was neither a concubine nor a concubine. Zhenzong was only Wanyi during his lifetime, and after his death, he was just obedient and accompanied by Yongding Mausoleum.

Even when she gave birth to Zhao Zhen, she didn't even have a name, she was just a maid in Liu E's palace, Zhenzong Zhao Heng went to Concubine Liu, and by the way, she was fortunate to be a little palace maid.

Outcome......

As a result, Zhao Heng must have eaten the elixir that day, and he was hit with one shot, and he was a boy.

Zhao Hengyi was happy to give Li Chongyang County Jun, and then Li gave birth to a daughter before he was promoted to a talented person.

The boy born to the Li family was later Zhao Zhen.

When Zhao Zhen was born, Liu E had already been sealed, and the Li family was helpless, under the planning of Zhao Heng, Liu E left Zhao Zhen in his palace, claiming that he was born to him, and raised him with Yang Shufei (Empress Zhang Hui).

As for the Li family, hehe, Zhao Zong is busy cultivating immortals and favoring Empress Liu, how can he still care about her?

In this way, the young Zhao Zhen grew up beside Queen Liu since he was a child, and he always thought that the queen was his biological mother.

Later, Zhao Heng finally ascended to the immortal hanging, Zhao Zhen ascended the throne as a young man, Empress Dowager Liu listened to the government and monopolized the power, and Xiao Zhao Zhen's life experience became a taboo.

The whole world knew that the emperor's biological mother was not Empress Dowager Liu, but Zhao Zhen was the only one who was kept in the dark.

It wasn't until more than ten years later, when Liu E also hung up, that no one dared to tell Zhao Zhen that the Empress Dowager was not his mother, and her biological mother Li was sent by Empress Dowager Liu to Yongding Mausoleum to guard the tomb of the first emperor, and died as early as a year ago.

Enough blood, right?

If this thing is not a real history, even if it is put in it, it will have to be sprayed with illogical logic.

First of all, Zhenzong Zhao Heng cultivated his immortal brain to do such a thing, and the Li family gave birth to a son for you, so he was crowned a county monarch?

This is understandable, he wants to turn this child into Liu E, so naturally he can't raise the Li family too high.

But you can do that, wipe your ass clean?

I also know that if Zhao Zhen grows up, if he knows that the Queen Mother is not his own mother, and he abuses his own mother, his mother will still be alive after he is finished....

It would be strange if the harem could be stopped.

But Zhao Heng didn't solve this hidden danger until he died, he could ruthlessly snatch other people's flesh and bones, but he couldn't be ruthless to solve the future troubles forever.

......

Liu E is also a god man, as soon as Zhao Heng died, he took over the power, and a woman who was inspired to be Wu Zetian was not even bright.

At this time, it is impossible to hide it, Zhao Zhen will know the truth sooner or later, in this case, killing the Li family is definitely the next policy.

However, Empress Dowager Liu really didn't choose a strategy, she chose a next strategy.

In order to prevent Zhao Zhen's mother and son from seeing each other, she asked the Li family to stay away from Jingshi and go to guard the tomb of the first emperor.

This kind of almost abusive practice, the emperor knows that does not hate you to death? Once she dies, will the descendants of the Liu family still have a good life? must be liquidated by Zhao Zhen.

However, I don't know if Liu E knows Zhao Zhen too well, or if she looks down on Zhao Zhen too much, so she really keeps the Li family. It wasn't until Li's deathbed that Concubine Chen was comfortingly sealed.

There's even more bloody in the back!

As soon as Liu E died, Zhao Zhen really knew the truth, and it turned out that he had been hidden from the palace and outside the palace for 20 years. Long Yan was furious and sent troops to surround the Liu family, which had the potential to settle accounts after the autumn.

However, when I opened Concubine Li Chen's coffin, I saw that my mother was lying in the mercury, her body was not rotting, and she seemed to be walking peacefully.

Liu E is also quite "interesting", and she will be buried in the future.

Zhao Zhen actually cried and stopped with a nose, and the Liu family not only did not move, but also reused it.

This is also in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Zhao Zhen is such a merciful emperor, if this matter is changed to which dynasty at will, he must not be killed to vent the anger of the eternal separation of mother and son?

In later generations, Tang Yi read this paragraph in the history books and complained endlessly, this is not as logical as the civet cat for the prince!

......

Following the words "Empress Dowager Zhang Yi" in Zhao Zhen's mouth, he went through this matter in his mind, and Tang Yi was a little puzzled:

Why are we arguing, why did you move your mother out? I want to take this opportunity to tell me that it is difficult to find family affection in the palace?

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

Zhao Zhen said: "About my biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, Da Lang should know a little bit about it, right?" ”

"Yes."

Nodding, Zhao Zhen's eyes widened fiercely.

"Then do you know who told me about this after the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian passed away?"

"This ......" Tang Yi said.

He did know who it was, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

For some reason, Zhao Zhen's almost demonic expression at this time made Tang Yi dare not look directly for a moment.

What kind of expression is that? There is anger, there is pain, there is endless sorrow, there is helplessness, and there is also a bit of ...... Lonely.

......

There are two versions of who told Zhao Zhen the secret. And these two versions also do not stand up to scrutiny, and they are also full of doubts.

The first is recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty, when King Yan informed Zhao Zhen that Concubine Li Chen was his biological mother.

The history of the Song Dynasty should be worth believing, right?

Fart!

Tang Yi was in the Great Song Dynasty, and he pulled the clan of the Great Song Dynasty all over the place, but he didn't find a "living Yan King".

There have been two Yan kings in the Great Song Dynasty, one is Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Taizu, that is, Zhao Degang's second brother, who has been dead for more than 80 years. Moreover, there is no king of Yan yet, it was posthumously awarded by the great calligrapher and painter Song Huizong.

There is also a Yan King who is Zhao Yu, the twelve sons of Shenzong, and there are still more than 20 years to come to the surface of the earth, where did the Yan King who jumped out tell Zhao Zhen?

Therefore, the second statement is a little more reliable than what King Yan told him, that is, as rumored to say, it was the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui who told Zhao Zhen.

That is, the truth told by Yang Shufei, who was the same sister as Liu E and raised Zhao Zhen together.

In a way, this is also in the past. As soon as the Empress Dowager Liu died, Zhao Zhen took over the power, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui rushed in front of the courtiers to inform Zhao Zhen that she was seeking self-preservation.

Otherwise, when Zhao Zhen knows the truth from somewhere else, then she, who has also concealed the emperor for more than 20 years, will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

However, there are also places in this statement that cannot stand scrutiny, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui's personality,

A virtuous queen who is known for her virtuous and virtuous kindness and deep understanding of righteousness, whether in official history or oral tradition, betrayed her good sister Liu E in her later years for self-preservation, which is really incomprehensible.

However, then again, if it was really the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui's secret, it would be a bit ...... It's a little too immoral.

Although Liu E is tyrannical in the harem, the power leans towards the government and the opposition, robs other people's children, and it is difficult to see Zhao Zhen's mother and son, but....

This woman is so bad! , but she has never had ill intentions towards Zhang Hui in her life, she really treats Zhang Hui as a sister.

After his death, he was betrayed by Zhang Hui, which sounds a bit unrighteous.

.......

Whether it is the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui or not, Tang Yi can't be sure, even if it is determined that it was the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui, it shouldn't come out of Tang Yi's mouth, and put the notoriety of a "false whistleblower" on the head of the deceased.

Therefore, Tang Yi could only pretend to be confused and not say anything.

"I don't know!"

"I don't know?" Zhao Zhen laughed. "Even the children in the head horn can tell me about this little thing in the family, don't you know?"

“......”

"Hey~~~!" Tang Yi was silent, but it was Li Daguan over there who sighed, as if he had a memory.

"Empress Dowager Zhang Hui has been unparalleled in her life, but she has to bear such an unrighteous name after her death, it is really ......"

Tang Yi glanced at Li Daguan gratefully, this is because the old official knows that he is not easy to say it, so he helps him answer.

"Is it really Empress Dowager Zhang Hui?" Tang Yi was stunned.

Zhao Zhen smiled coldly, as if he expected Tang Yi to have this expression.

"What, didn't you think of that?"

"I didn't expect that!"

"I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Liu, who I regarded as my biological mother, would be so selfish and despicable!"

"I didn't expect that the first emperor was cold and indifferent, and his relatives were so close!"

"I didn't expect that the amiable Empress Dowager Zhang Hui was as unbearable as that woman!"

Pointing to Li Bingchen next to him.

"I didn't expect that the inner servants and close ministers who were regarded as cronies would also hide from me for twenty years with them!"

"I didn't expect it!!"

"Reading the book of the saints, the scholars and doctors who claim to be gentlemen are also villains who deceive the king!!"

......

"I didn't expect that..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen's eyes were hazy and almost collapsed.

"I didn't expect that strange Li Yi, who always looked at me in a daze...."

"It's my mother!!"

"So!!"

Zhao Zhen glared at Tang Yi suddenly.

"You want the truth!"

"Who will give me my true feelings!?

smiled miserably, "What true feelings!?" ”

"Within the walls of this palace!!"

"On the side of imperial power, where does the true love come from!?"

"Where did you get the trust!?"

.....

Tang Yi looked at Zhao Zhen calmly, "So what?" ”

"What so!?

"So Your Majesty wants to use this story to tell Yi that imperial power is ruthless?"

"Or does Your Majesty want to tell Yi, it is because of this cruel fact that Your Majesty realizes that you can't be merciful?"

Zhao Zhen was silent and looked at Tang Yi coldly. And Tang Yi also faced Zhao Zhen squarely and did not give an inch.

"Your Majesty said that there is no mercy within the walls of this palace, so why is Your Majesty so angry that you still can't let go of it after decades?"

"Why did Empress Dowager Zhang Yi look at His Majesty's eyes so clearly that His Majesty remembered it so clearly?"

"Why is Empress Dowager Liu so kind to Your Majesty, even though she is tied to the situation at that time, but after such a long time, Your Majesty can still not liquidate, but treat his descendants well?"

"Doesn't that mean that Your Majesty has affection!?"

.....

After Tang Yi said these words, the three people in the Funing Hall were silent again, and the scene was quiet and terrifying.

After being silent for a long time, Tang Yifang spoke leisurely.

"Your Majesty has affection for Empress Dowager Zhang Yi ......"

"I also have affection for Empress Dowager Liu. It is this love that makes you let go of the hatred in your heart, isn't this the warmest thing in this story? ”

"Heh...."

Zhao Zhen laughed abnormally.

"Da Lang is wrong!"

"Love alone is not enough to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

"The reason why I treat the descendants of the Liu family well is not because I don't hate, let alone forced by the court."

"Because I don't hate the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian at all, but I am very grateful to her."

Tang Yi frowned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Zhao Zhen's words were sincere or angry.

It's a bit too fake to say that you don't hate, right?

I heard Zhao Zhen continue.

"There's still no end to that story."

The eyes that looked at Tang Yi also softened, "Da Lang also thought that it was the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui who told him, right?" ”

"Heh...."

"The world also thinks that it is the secret that the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui told me."

"But the whistleblower is someone else."

"Empress Dowager Zhang Hui just took this notoriety on behalf of others!"

"Someone else?"

Tang Yi was really a little surprised. Moreover, who has such a big background that can make Empress Dowager Zhang Hui take the blame for him?

"Who?"

"Zhang Xian Empress Dowager!"

"What!?" Tang Yi exclaimed. "She's not ......"

"Isn't she dead?"

Zhao Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Tang Yi, "You can't think of it, right?" It was the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian herself who told me about the scandal of snatching the son of man and risking the joy of family!! ”

“......”

Tang Yixin said, it's really a dog! There is no most dog blood, only more dog blood, is it Zhang Xian's deathbed repentance? Or did this old witch crawl out of the coffin? Why is this story getting more and more ridiculous?

And the next moment, Zhao Zhen immediately solved the doubts in Tang Yi's heart.

"At that time, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian returned to heaven, and it was indeed the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui who called me to Baoqing Palace, and I did know all the truth in Baoqing Palace."

"This is also the reason why the world counts this matter on the head of the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui."

"However, the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui did not tell the secret for the sake of self-preservation, but at the behalf-time request of the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, she handed over a handwritten suicide note to me."

"In that suicide note, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian explained my life experience clearly."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen took a step forward and stared at Tang Yi's eyes without blinking.

"Do you know what was said in the suicide note, so that not only did I not hate the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, but I should be grateful to her?"

"No, I don't know...."

At this point in the story, Tang Yi can't use logic to deduce, which is much more bizarre than the twists and turns of "Tanuki for the Prince".

"Empress Dowager Zhang Xian mentioned a sentence in her last letter."

She said...."

At this point, Zhao Zhen almost said a word.

"A little palace maid who has no support in the court and no support in the harem......"

"Can't keep a child who may become the next king......"

“！！！！”

Tang Yi only felt that his scalp was numb, and his head exploded with a buzzing sound.

And Zhao Zhen hasn't finished speaking.

"The first emperor understood this, so he claimed that I was from the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian."

"The Queen Mother also understands this, so it has only been twenty years since the birth mother of the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi has not lost a bit."

"My biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, also understands this, so I haven't recognized me for twenty years!"

......
