However, Yan Saburo and Chitose have rich experience and are well versed in the principle of "the fewer words, the bigger the matter", and the more they feel that there is material to dig up.

"Let's talk, let's talk to the neighbors. He stood up and took out a small urn of plum wine from the storage ring.

"Where?" the cat was paralyzed and comfortable, and only the tip of its white tail was gently tapping on the table, not even wanting to move.

"Drinking with a couple of foreign envoys last night. "Yan Saburo's brain is fast," one of them is named Lang Xiling, a native of Baolai, who has made Xuan more than ten times, claiming to know everything about Xuanguo. ”

The white cat said lazily: "Have you forgotten that you still have an old acquaintance in Xuanguo?"

"Duanfang?" Yan Saburo didn't forget.

"Yes, wouldn't it be better to ask him?" she still remembered Duanfang's character, "With his temperament, he should have a thorough understanding of Xuanguo's past." ”

"This man appeared inexplicably, and I didn't want to look for him. ”

"Okay. The cat didn't bother to get out of the house, jumped into his bed, and went to bed in a coil. These foreign envoys often know more about the history of a place or a country than ordinary people.

......

She had been asleep for two hours before she heard the door creak softly.

The cat opened her eyes and saw Yan Saburo walking lightly into the house.

It also stretched, jumped on the table and began to wash its face: "Back?"

"Hmm. The boy first took the green salt and rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth, dispelled the smell of wine, and then sat down at the table to smooth the cat's hair.

It's comfortable, it purring.

It was getting dark, and it was finally in spirit. "Asked?"

"It's been a reward. "As soon as the envoy ate the wine, he talked nonsense all over the world, and it took a lot of time. Yan Saburo twisted the water in his words and then pinched the head and tail, and transformed it into a concise and concise one: "The local history of Anlai has been re-edited a few years ago, and the outdated content has been deleted and changed, leaving only the sentence we saw. ”

"What about the truth?" Chitose was not surprised. History is always written by the victors...... Or tampering.

"The truth is that the so-called 'seizure' is actually 'theft'. Yan Saburo said very simply, "At that time, Yan Xiao was twenty-eight years old, and Anlai City was still the capital of Duo Kingdom. In order to boost the morale of the Tong Yuan clan, Yan Xiao also made a bet with others, so he sneaked into the Ji Temple and stole the stone tablet!"

First of all, the stele was stolen.

Secondly, it is still Yan Xiao's own hand.

The cat tilted its head: "Can the surname Lang be sure?"

"Yes. Yan Saburo has also asked, "Ten years ago, Yan Xiao boasted about himself at the New Year's banquet, and he heard it clearly. But Yan Lie kept stopping this uncle, saying that he was drunk and drunk. ”

Then it's true.

"Since Yan Xiao stole the stele with his own hands, then-what about the curse?"

"This matter has been the focus of controversy for those in the know. Yan Saburo said eloquently, "Yan Xiao had five sons, and only the fourth and fifth survived. Among them, the eldest was born to Yan Xiao and the queen, inherited his bravery and good at fighting, and was able to lead the army at the age of fifteen, but he was ambushed by the Xi people in Tianqin Mountain, and unfortunately died at the age of seventeen. ”

"Hey, when Yan Xiao went to steal the stele, the eldest son was only eleven years old. Chitose pinched his fingers and counted.

Phew, the cat's paws can't be pinched, and there is far less dexterity in the hands.

Or Yan Saburo calculated for her: "Yan Xiao was thirty-four years old when he heard that his eldest son died in battle, and it has been six years since he stole the stone stele. ”

"What about the other two sons?

"The second and third sons were born to concubines. The second son has been well-read and strong since he was a child, and has a reputation for talent, but his physique is weak and not suitable for cultivation. Yan Xiao has the experience of losing a child in the past, so he takes care of him. ”

Chitose yawned, "Then how did he die?"

"Externally, it is said that it is the internal damage caused by tuberculosis, and the medicine stone is useless. It is said that the palace history is also recorded in this way. Yan Saburo touched his nose, "But Lang Xiling mysteriously told me that as far as he knew, Yan Xiao's second son and his father's favorite concubine had a head and tail, and after being exposed, he was ashamed and committed suicide." ”

"Wow!" the cat's eyes lit up, "that's so feather!"

"The favorite concubine 'died of illness' in the same year, only three days later than Yan Xiao's second son. Yan Saburo nodded, "From the perspective of time, I think the words of the envoy Lang are credible." ”

It doesn't matter whether it's credible or not, the key is that Yan Xiao has another son.

"This year he was forty years old, and he had destroyed the kingdom of Xi. ”

"What about the third child?" These imperial family affairs are more exciting than the book.

"The third child died simply, and died at birth. "Yan Saburo calculated according to the time," when he was born, it coincided with the crucial battle of Yan Xiao personally leading the army to break through Anlai City. After conquering the palace, Yan Xiao learned that his son was born again, and he was ecstatic. ”

"And then joy and sorrow?"

"yes. Speaking of which, Yan Saburo also felt a little sympathetic to the founding emperor, "Before he rushed back to the ancestral land of the Tong Yuan clan, the bad news was delivered first, and his third son only lived for seven days before he died." ”

Yan Xiao was disheartened by this blow, and even postponed the time of his coronation and enthronement by a year. "At this point, there is a 'but'," during this period, he personally returned the stele to the temple, and ordered the entire temple to be repaired, not only doubling the area, but also using real money to repair it. ”

"You have also seen that he made such a big move, but he asked Jimiao to 'repair the old as the old' and not change the style of the Duo Kingdom. ”

Chitose smiled: "It seems that Yan Xiao is also scared if he believes it." ”

Yan Xiao, as the strong leader of the Tong Yuan clan, as a rare generation of strong people in history who succeeded in recovering the country, should have turned his nose up at fate, after all, he led the whole clan to fight against fate all his life, but later took the initiative to return the stone tablet and repair the temple, it can only be said that he also believed that the curse of "cutting off children and grandchildren" really took effect.

"Those in the know are all inferred in this way, because soon after he returned the stele, he accepted the great-granddaughter of Sha Zong's sect as a concubine and called Concubine Yu. Yan Saburo took a light breath, "Later, Concubine Yu became pregnant." ”

He had already decided to take a concubine before returning the stele. The white cat lay down and pillowed directly on his arm, "he was afraid that something would happen to his fourth son again." ”

"Yes. Yan Saburo also thought so, "But Concubine Yu and the child in her belly still had an accident, and Shazong had a bad relationship with Xuanguo for a while, and all kinds of rumors were rampant, until Yan Lie took the prince back from Liang State, and it gradually subsided." ”

"About King Xuan today, Lang Xiling didn't say anything?"

"Nope. Yan Saburo stroked the cat's head and helped it scratch its neck, "He's not drunk to that point." "Yan Xiao has long been an ancient, and it doesn't hurt for Lang envoy to say some of his gossip, but today's King Xuan is different, if the gossip reaches the ears of Tong Yuan, he is afraid that he will be in big trouble.
