Chapter 36 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (End)
King Zhuang?
"Second brother, how did you think of him?" Su Zhan asked.
"If you want to establish a new emperor, you cannot choose someone who is hostile to us." Li Xiaoyu said, "I checked among the many princes who targeted the Shanling Palace before, and only Prince Zhuang did not participate. He was only recommended by his brothers.
He came out to be the scapegoat."
"In terms of status, he is indeed the most suitable candidate." Li Xiaoyu had already made preparations and said, "I have checked all Prince Zhuang's past experiences. Uncle Si, please wait until I finish talking before making a decision."
Prince Zhuang Si Yicheng was the third son of the late emperor, and his biological mother was just a maid beside the imperial concubine.
After the imperial concubine became pregnant, she sent Prince Zhuang's biological mother to sleep with the late emperor to keep her favor. Who knew that she would become pregnant with a dragon seed, Prince Zhuang?
After King Zhuang was born, his biological mother was killed by the imperial concubine who also gave birth to a dragon son.
A prince born from a palace maid does not have a strong maternal support behind him. If his mother were still alive, some people would still think highly of him.
After all, he was the son and grandson of the dragon. The maids and eunuchs did not dare to neglect him, but they did not care too much about him, so he grew up helpless in the palace.
After growing up, all the other brothers began to fight for power, but no one cared about him even when he was old enough to go to court and participate in politics.
Good things don't happen to him, and if something goes wrong, he is a ready-made scapegoat.
Just like the incident at Shanling Palace, if something went wrong, those princes would definitely push him out as an innocent person. Even if everyone knew that he didn't have the ability to do it, no one would care about his life or death.
Because His Majesty the Emperor needs someone to vent his anger on King Shanling, and this son who has no help at all is the best candidate.
For someone who grew up in such an environment, Li Xiaoyu didn't believe that he would be even remotely attached to the so-called blood relationship.
"Since you have decided, let's do it." Sizhong said without hesitation.
The four of them casually decided on the candidate for the next emperor of the Great Mo Dynasty in the lobby of the palace. If the princes who desperately wanted to ascend to the throne were informed, their eyes would probably pop out of their heads.
When Li Xiaoyu and Si Kou secretly paid a visit to Prince Zhuang's mansion to explain their intention, Prince Zhuang was dumbfounded.
I never thought that the day would come when the pie would fall from the sky.
Until a month later, when King Zhuang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the people in the capital had not come to their senses and could not figure out why such an unknown King Zhuang finally ascended the throne.
King Zhuang originally thought that Sizhong made him emperor, but he was just taking advantage of the emperor and the princes. At first, he was trembling with fear every day.
However, as time passed, he finally understood the truth. It turns out that there are people in this world who really disdain the throne.
After understanding this, he finally let go and took drastic measures, and he actually did it well.
He is not as good as the emperor who expanded his territory through the ages, but at least he was a virtuous king who maintained his status.
As for his brothers, according to the law, those who should be killed should be killed, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be exiled should be exiled. He originally thought that this approach was too extreme, and was worried that some people would say that he did not care about his flesh and blood, but he did not expect that it unexpectedly caused an uproar in the whole country.
Sound of approval.
Probably because the people have been miserable due to the feud between princes in the past few years.
After settling things in the capital, Si Zhong took a group of people back to Shanling City and held a wedding for Li Xiaoyu and Si Kou.
A few months after the marriage, she found out she was pregnant. After Li's mother finally settled her second son's marriage, she immediately set her sights on Su Zhan.
Su Zhan couldn't bear the constant pressure to get married in different ways every day. In the end, he had no choice but to leave a letter and run away from home with his snow wolf to travel around the world.
Before leaving, she had not forgotten Li Quyue's wish and solemnly carved those seven words on the gate of Shanling City.
"Li Quyue is here for a visit."
When this incident reached the ears of Shanling King Sizhong, he just shook his head and laughed for a moment, then gave up, without even erasing these seven words from the city gate.
But since then, there have always been people who like to imitate Su Zhan and carve their names at the city gate. Unfortunately, they are always caught on the spot by the soldiers guarding the city.
What a joke, who is General Xuelang? How many victories has he fought for Shanling City? It would be an honor for her to carve her own name on the city gate.
Maybe hundreds of years from now, this place will be a famous scenic spot.
As for others, it is just graffiti that affects the image of Shanling City.
If we don't arrest this kind of person, lock him up for a few days and educate him, why should we let him go free?
One day many years later, Si Kou woke up from a nightmare. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked around subconsciously for her lover.
She just had a dream about her past life for some reason.
In the dream, her father's death, her lover's cold and gloomy eyes, and the luxurious and exquisite but empty palace woke her up from the nightmare.
"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare?" A mellow voice sounded at the door, and the owner of the voice quickly came to her side.
Surrounded by his sweetheart's breath, Si Kou slowly relaxed.
"I had a terrible nightmare." Si Kou leaned on the man's chest and said softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm by your side." Li Xiaoyu rarely saw such a young daughter with such a breath and posture, her eyes were deep and she comforted her gently.
"Yes, I know." Si Kou stepped forward and hugged him. The loneliness in her previous life was far away from her. Now she has children, a father and a husband. She is no longer the lonely person who seems noble but full of happiness.
The lonely King of Mountains.
The moment the two looked at each other and smiled, what merged together was the countless years of mutual dependence, and the deep tenderness and beauty.
………
After so many years, Mother Li has become a gray-haired old man. Even her youngest son has married and has children. She has probably understood that her youngest daughter really does not want to get married.
She and Li's father are now so old, and they don't have many years to live. Wouldn't it be a good idea to just turn a blind eye and let the child choose the life he wants?
Every time she thought about this, she couldn't help but regret that she had pushed her too hard and let the child never come home until now.
After thinking about it, she regretted more and more and went to find her second son, Li Xiaoyu, and asked him to deliver a letter to her sister.
Half a month later, Su Zhan, who was wandering around the mountains and forests with Xue Lang, received the letter dictated by his mother, written by his brother. He pondered for a moment and whispered to the fully grown Xue Lang next to him, "Let's go back."
Happy birthday to my mother."
The snow wolf howled, frightening all the animals in the surrounding forest to flee.
