The current emperor of the Black Tiger Kingdom is the third son of the late emperor, born to Empress Lin. When the late emperor was still alive, there were four princes and eleven princesses. The eldest prince was also named the prince, and the second prince was named hon.
King, the third prince was originally named King Cheng, and the fourth prince was named King Ying.
The crown prince and the third prince Chengwang were born to Queen Lin, the second prince Rong Wang was born to Concubine Shang Guifei, and the fourth prince Ying Wang was born to Liu Meiren. The three princes all had fiefdoms.
A minister suggested to the emperor in the study room that since several princes had their own fiefdoms, in order to avoid brothers fighting each other, it was suggested that the kings should leave Kyoto and go to their fiefdoms to fight. The emperor felt that it made sense, so he agreed and was ready to issue an edict.
When King Rong and King Ying heard the news, they were immediately furious. They secretly colluded and took advantage of the prince's absence to secretly send assassins to collude with the dark men lurking around the prince to kill the prince.
After the death of the prince, the princess, who was returning to her parents' home with her one-month-old son, knew that it would be difficult to keep her son, so she secretly replaced the prince's son with a son from a branch of the family, Lin Shang, and named him Lin Chengxian.
As she expected, she was attacked on her way back to the palace with her son. Together with the child she had returned, she was killed on the way to the palace.
The prince's son became Lin Chengxian, a child of a branch of the Lin family. He grew up in the Lin family.
After the death of the prince, the emperor was furious and found out that it was the work of the second and fourth princes. Regardless of the fact that they were his own flesh and blood, he directly opened the prison and finally executed the two sons.
As a result, the only remaining King Cheng became the natural crown prince, and later succeeded to the throne and became the emperor.
However, Lin Chengxian's life was not easy. In order to keep the prince's son, grandfather Lin replaced his own grandson who was just a few days old, but did not ask his son if he was willing to sacrifice his own flesh and blood.
When his grandfather Lin was still alive, Lin Chengxian's life was pretty good, but after his grandfather passed away, Lin Chengxian's life became difficult.
Mother Lin didn't know about the son exchange, but after she gave birth to the child, she could hardly see her son during the month of confinement. When she held her son after he was one month old, she always felt that this son was not her own.
As a result, he naturally lost contact with his son.
And Lin Chengxian's "father" Lin Shang knew that this child was not his biological son, and moreover, he sacrificed his biological son because of him. How could he be happy to see him?
Although his grandfather compensated him a lot for this, he still couldn't like this "son".
Therefore, as soon as his father passed away, Lin Shang dismissed the gentleman who had been invited home to teach his son, and sent him to study at a clan school, and later at an academy.
Even though he was seventeen years old, there was no engagement for him.
However, Lin Chengxian himself was very good, and he was often envied by others because he was always praised by his husband.
Black Tiger State has Taixue, which is the highest institution of learning in the country. As long as you can enter Taixue, you can become a bachelor, and bachelor's degree is already a preparatory official position.
Before taking the imperial examination, Lin Chengxian was set up by a classmate to have an affair with a flower girl named Mu Chunfeng. Moreover, that classmate also asked several classmates to break up the "adultery" between Lin Chengxian and Mu Chunfeng.
The teacher of a student at Taipei University was a person who believed in all kinds of evil and sexual misconduct, and deeply abhorred the behavior of students sleeping in flowers and willows. Therefore, Lin Chengxian lost the qualification to take the exam no matter how good his grades were.
