"You-" Chen Rui didn't expect that Wei Zijin could say the four words "Success, King, Defeat, Bandit" so calmly, and shook his head and said disappointedly: "Wei Zijin, is this your ambition? Marry the King of Luoyang and the King of Luoyang. Let's work together to launch a mutiny, seek power and usurp the throne under the banner of clearing the monarch, and then replace it? You disappointed me too much..."
Wei Zijin poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and waited for Chen Rui's anger to dissipate a little before he slowly spoke: "Chen Rui, I want to tell you a story..."
Chen Rui was stunned and met Wei Zijin's sincere gaze. His original anger disappeared without realizing it. He sat down again, nodded and said, "After you say it, I'll listen carefully!"
"In the past, there was a legitimate daughter of a prominent family and a son of another prominent family, who was childhood sweetheart. The two families originally decided to marry in-laws and took down the foolish king and replaced him. However, the legitimate daughter was with her childhood sweetheart by chance. The two of them gradually got farther apart, and the legitimate daughter eventually married his cousin! The legitimate daughter's family also supported his cousin to ascend the throne... In terms of qualifications, his cousin was far inferior to that of He, but he actually loved the daughter of the prominent clan deeply, was willing to give up the throne and assisted his cousin ascend the throne with all his heart!"
When Chen Rui heard this, his heart moved, and he had already guessed something in his mind. He couldn't help but ask, "What's next?"
"Later, it was indeed his cousin who ascended the throne. The daughter of the prominent clan who fully supported him ascended the throne was also named the queen... But the good times did not last long. The queen was eventually killed by the fearful emperor, and even her family was inevitably suppressed. !He was named Prince, and learned that he had died in his heart in his harem in tragic death, and felt resentful towards his cousin, and began to hide his strength and prepare for revenge!”
Wei Zijin said this and stopped: "As for the ending, you probably can guess..."
Although Chen Rui's face was still calm, his heart was already filled with shock.
He once vaguely heard the secrets before the emperor conquered this country, but he never thought about it carefully. He only knew that the Li family of Zhao County was a founding hero, and Empress Li's so-called crime of jealousy was always confused!
Now that he heard Wei Zijin talk about this past, Chen Rui suddenly realized and asked in a low voice: "The legitimate daughter the princess mentioned is Queen Li!"
Wei Zijin's silence represents the answer.
Chen Rui couldn't help feeling sorry for Queen Li's death, it turned out that the emperor planned it!
The King of Luoyang did not have the same ambition as Xiao Zhao. He was willing to give up the throne at the time, but now all he did is just for revenge!
No wonder the King of Luoyang has never appointed a princess before, no wonder the King of Luoyang refused to return to the imperial capital a year after Empress Li passed away!
The world's deep affection is at this point, I'm afraid it's the King of Luoyang!
Chen Rui felt deeply moved and began to shake.
"But the prince cannot let Dayin fall into war in order to avenge his revenge, and the people will live in poverty!"
Chen Rui said hesitantly, Wei Zijin shook his head and looked at him calmly: "Chen Rui, you have been to Yanzhou and stayed in Jingkou for several days. Have you ever seen people live in miserable life?"
Chen Rui shook his head. Indeed, whenever the King of Luoyang went to a place, he ordered his soldiers not to disturb the people's livelihood. Some places have also ordered the reduction of tax burdens. The people are grateful to the King of Luoyang!
