919. Chapter 919 Extra Story: The Death of Xiao Heng 1
It was another cold winter. Even though the doors and windows in the Zen room were closed tightly, Xiao Heng still felt a biting chill, spreading from the soles of his feet to his whole body.
Since the capital was moved, the imperial capital was changed to Jian'an, and this royal temple, which was originally very honorable and favored, gradually declined with the capital being moved.
Even though the people heard that the previous emperor Xiao Heng took the initiative to write an abdication edict, in the eyes of many people, Xiao Heng was still defeated by his cousin Xiao Jingyao, so he had to abdicate!
And the resignation of the temple is just to explain his imprisonment!
No one in the temple dared to disobey the current saint Xiao Jingyao, abide by the Hadith and sent people to guard Xiao Heng's Zen room. He would never allow Xiao Heng to escape quietly, nor would he allow him to commit suicide!
Xiao Heng had tried several hunger strikes, but it was useless... Some people would always try their best to force him to eat the simple food!
It is really a great humiliation to think that he was once a dignified king of a country, but he was even forced to be fed, clothing, housing and transportation!
Xiao Heng finally understood why Xiao Jingyao refused to attack him in the palace... Xiao Jingyao was not only to show his magnanimity, but also to vent his hatred for him!
Xiao Jingyao was unwilling to let him die just like this, saving him from the pain of seeing the throne being taken away and also avoiding the humiliation of falling to this point...
And now he finally understood that it was difficult to survive day after day and death!
The cold wind outside blows through the window paper, and the brazier in the Zen room has already been extinguished. Xiao Heng was trembling all over, but he never wanted to plead with others. He could only sit cross-legged, close his eyes and hold the Buddhist beads.
Reciting scriptures, trying to make yourself forget the biting cold.
However, when he closed his eyes, various pictures kept appearing in front of him. Sometimes he was holding a book when he was young before he ascended to the position. Sometimes he was watching Xiao Jingyao and Li Jingyou riding their horses and laughing side by side.
...
At that time, everyone was optimistic that Xiao Jingyao would replace the tyrant king and ascend the throne. He knew that his talent was not as good as Xiao Jingyao. Although he always smiled lightly on the surface, he was always deeply jealous of Xiao Jingyao, and jealous of Xiao Jingyao and Li of Zhaojun Li's family.
Jingyou is childhood sweetheart and jealous of the two families that originally decided to engage in marriage!
He knew that if Xiao Jingyao married Li Jingyou, the Li family would fully support Xiao Jingyao ascended the throne, not to mention that Xiao Jingyao was originally the pride in their Lanling Xiao family, then Xiao Jingyao ascended the throne was just a breeze!
He also has ambitions, and he can't put down his books and is full of knowledge. Why is it not him who ascended the throne but Xiao Jingyao?!
With the identity of the Xiao family in Lanling, he often interacted with Li Jingyou. Finally, God paid off and asked him to find an opportunity and plotted against Xiao Jingyao for a while. Li Jingyou was still young and did not share the same relationship with Xiao Jingyao.
He showed his intentions and eventually succeeded in his conspiracy.
Not only did he hold the beauty back, he also got all the support of Li's family in Zhaojun...
He saw Xiao Jingyao's frustration at all. He originally thought that Xiao Jingyao would fight with him, take away Li Jingyou, or take over the daughter of other gentry, and expand his power!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingyao was willing to support him ascend the throne for Li Jingyou, and became his right-hand man on the way to clear his obstacles to ascend the throne!
