Empress Xiao is Xiao Jue's sister, and the former crown prince mentioned by Li Qi should be Xiao Jue's nephew, Empress Xiao and Chen Huang's son. She should have become the crown prince but died before Chen Huang ascended the throne.
The Tang family has been dead in name only and has no chance to make a comeback. Tang Ning has long drawn a clear line with them and is not interested in the previous ruins of the Tang family. However, this matter also involves Xiao Jue and Xiao family, so he can no longer be regarded as ignoring it.
He looked at Li Qi and asked: What's the secret?
Li Qi said: Please spare the officials first!
I didn't want you to die. Tang Ning waved his hand and said: But if you have a lie, I don't guarantee if I will change my mind if I want to change my mind if I have any lies.
Li Qi stretched out his palm and said solemnly: If there is a lie, let Xia Guantian hit thunder and he will not die well!
Tang Ning glanced at him and said
The former crown prince was killed by the Tang family, and Empress Xiao was also killed by the Tang family! Li Qi's words were amazing, and even Tang Ning couldn't help but shocked his body.
Empress Xiao's child died early in life. A few years later, Empress Xiao died of illness and the palace. Without the pillars of the harem, the Xiao family gradually declined, and Concubine Tang gradually became favored in the palace. The Tang family was still huge. Tang Ning only thought that these were accidents, but Li Qi obviously knew some facts that he didn't know.
Tang Ning suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Li Qi again, and said in a deep voice: How noble are the identities of the prince and the queen? The guards are strict around him. How can the Tang family succeed repeatedly? How dare you fool me!
Seeing Tang Ning getting angry, Li Qi looked nervous and blurted out: Because these things were tacitly agreed to by His Majesty!
Tang Ning was silent for a while, looked at Li Qi, and asked slowly: Do you know what you are talking about?
The secret buried in his heart for many years was finally revealed, and Li Qi simply took it aside and said: Your Majesty's background is not good, and it is not as good as the princes at that time. Without the help of the Tang family, he would not be able to get the throne at all. The Tang family's condition to help Your Majesty fight for the throne was to exchange the life of the princess at that time, that is, the son of Empress Xiao!
What the Tang family wanted was King Duan and the next emperor of Emperor Chen. Therefore, they married Concubine Tang Hui to His Majesty and wanted him to give birth to a crown prince. Only when Empress Xiao's son died would Concubine Tang Hui have a chance!
Li Qi spoke faster and faster, his voice trembled slightly: Later, with the help of the Tang family, His Majesty finally took up the throne, but when he succeeded to the throne, there were still many remnants of the court who disobeyed him. He also used the power of the Tang family to get rid of those people one by one. Concubine Tang Hui wanted to be the lord of the harem, so he found a way to kill Empress Xiao. The reason why the Tang family and Concubine Tang Hui succeeded was because His Majesty agreed to do so, because His Majesty wanted to use their power!
After Li Qi finished speaking in one breath, he felt like he was being sucked on the ground, slumped on the ground, gasping heavily
This secret he learned accidentally was buried in his heart for many years. Over the years, he watched the people involved in this matter disappear one by one. How many times he dreamed of the bedding was wet with cold sweat when he dreamed at midnight.
After telling this secret today, the huge rock in his heart finally fell down, and he felt relaxed.
Li Qi felt relaxed, but Tang Ning's mood suddenly became heavier
He knew that when the Tang family helped His Majesty fight for the throne, he must have used many means, but he did not expect that these means were so cruel and bloody
Even the tiger poison does not eat his son. For the sake of the throne, he sacrificed his son and wife. Tang Ning was unwilling to believe that this was done by Emperor Chen, but Zhao Man's father, and his father-in-law in a sense
But it is precisely because of his very understanding of Emperor Chen that Tang Ning is more clear that what Li Qi said is probably not a lie
For the sake of Chen State, he could sacrifice Zhao Man repeatedly. It was not surprising that he would do these things cruelly in order to become the emperor.
Perhaps in his eyes, in order to achieve his goal, nothing cannot be sacrificed.
Even Tang Ning didn't need to guess that in addition to Empress Xiao, Concubine Yang's death should also be inseparable from the Tang family and Emperor Chen.
The Tang family, relying on their power and the reliance of Emperor Chen to them, pushed Concubine Tang Hui to the top of the harem. Their purpose should be to make Concubine Tang Hui a legitimate queen, but they did not expect that Emperor Chen was a tiger, and negotiating terms with him was tantamount to a trap with a tiger.
Concubine Tang Hui did not become the queen in the end. The Tang family was suppressed after Emperor Chen completely consolidated the throne until they fell to their current situation.
Even Tang Ning's struggle with the Tang family in recent years is so powerful and smooth, and the support from Emperor Chen is indispensable.
He is taking advantage of Emperor Chen's power, and Emperor Chen is also using him?
The emperor is ruthless. There are many emperors who kill brothers, fathers and sons in history, but for Tang Ning, it only exists in history books and reads it coldly.
Now the biting words in the history books are happening around him. He just feels cold and has a feeling of emptiness.
From his position, he was not willing to believe that Emperor Chen was such a cruel and ruthless person.
Tang Ning's eyes finally looked at Li Qi and asked: This matter should be the biggest secret of the Tang family. How did you know it?
The Xiaguan also accidentally eavesdropped on what the Tang brothers said. Li Qi said: They don’t know that the Xiaguan knows their secrets, otherwise the Xiaguan would not have lived today…
He glanced at Tang Ning and whispered: The lower official only wants to use this secret to replace the official family and his family to survive...
Tang Ning was not silent for long, so he nodded and said: If you go to the grassland this time, you can stay there. When you get there, I will send someone to the grassland to reunite your family.
Li Qi heard this and knelt down again and said loudly: Thank you, Prime Minister Tang, Master Tang, Master Tang...
Although Li Qi is the Duan of King Duan, he did not do anything serious and let his family stay in the grassland to live, which is also the reward for telling Tang Ning this secret.
At that time, the only news that Chen State received was the only one on the way to Chu State, Li Qi, who unfortunately fell seriously ill and died of no treatment. From then on, he would never appear in Chen State again.
Tang Ning went home without waiting for the Yaya today. He felt a little confused. When he walked to the door, he saw Xiao Jue holding the child in the yard, talking and laughing with Lu Ya.
When Xiao Jue saw Tang Ning, he waved to him and said: Our Yu'er is almost over 100 days old. When he was born, you are not in Beijing. It is a bargain. If you don't prepare a generous gift this time, don't think about what good things I will give you next time your son is born...
I just learned that there was something else in Queen Xiao’s death. Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue with a complicated expression.
Seeing that Tang Ning's face was ill, Xiao Jue said dissatisfied: You are not so stingy, are you...
Come in with me, I have something to say to you. Tang Ning glanced at him and walked straight into the study.
Seeing that he looked so serious and his expression became serious, Xiao Jue handed the child to Lu Ya and followed Tang Ning into the study.
He walked into the study room and looked at Tang Ning and said solemnly: What happened? Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to King Duan?
Tang Ning shook his head and said: Not yet
Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: What's the matter? It's done so seriously, it scared me...
Tang Ning looked at him and said: I learned some hidden information about Queen Xiao’s death today...
Xiao Jue's smile froze, his eyes looked at Tang Ning, and said seriously: What did you say...?
The Tang family has been dead in name only and has no chance to make a comeback. Tang Ning has long drawn a clear line with them and is not interested in the previous ruins of the Tang family. However, this matter also involves Xiao Jue and Xiao family, so he can no longer be regarded as ignoring it.
