In the civil strife in the thirty-first year of Shaowu, the Yu Shui Army and the Shun Shui Army, two of the elites of the Wei State, who had been able to defeat the Korean army, were both destroyed. The two military leaders, who were known as the royal athletes, were killed by crossbows.
Hit in the chest, in danger
Soon after receiving the diagnosis and treatment from the imperial doctor, he survived by chance, but due to injuries to his heart and lungs, he became half a disabled person; while Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Jing, was exiled to Nanliang by Zhao Yuansi, who had just ascended the throne, and was promoted openly and secretly.
He was the king of Nanliang.
During this turmoil, Queen Zhang's family, Crown Princess Zhai's family, including the uncle's family of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, and all the aristocratic families that had once sided with Prince Zhao Yuanzu of the East Palace were liquidated by Wei King Zhao Yuansi in the autumn.
Zhao Yuanci executed all these people on the charge of "rebellion and rebellion".
Because there were so many nobles involved, there was a river of blood in Daliang Cai Market at that time. Some of them didn't even know what happened, so they were confused and got involved and lost their lives in vain.
The three most critical people in this matter were the former Wei King Zhao Kang who was angered to death by Zhao Yuansi, the Jing King (Nanliang King) Zhao Yuanzuo who was exiled, but the former Crown Prince Zhao Yuanqi was still imprisoned in the palace prison.
At that time, Zhao Yuanxi, who had just ascended the throne, kept his promise and appointed the original female official Wang Ao as the queen. After all, the reason why Zhao Yuanxi ascended to the throne was almost dependent on the two think-tanks, Queen Wang and King Yu Zhao Yuandai - Queen Wang Ao to deal with it for him.
He was responsible for matters within the palace, while King Yu Zhao Yuandai dealt with matters outside the palace for him.
I believe people who don’t know would never have imagined that more than twenty years later, the seemingly weak Queen Wang would be targeted several times by Chen Shuai and Concubine Shi, but nothing happened. She only recited Taoist scriptures every day and did not participate in the battles in the palace.
In fact, she was a woman who was extremely good at maneuvering. She once controlled the entire Daliang Palace as a female official next to the former Crown Princess Zhai.
With the rise of the Queen Wang family, the Wang family in Zhengcheng rose strongly and became one of the most famous people in Wei.
However, Wang Ao was appointed queen, which also aroused the jealousy of one of Wang Ao's good sisters. The latter did not understand why the Emperor of Wei (Zhao Yuansi) only liked Wang Ao. As a result, the former good sisters were no longer the same.
Mo Lu, this woman will be the future Concubine Shi.
While registering Wang Ao as the queen, Zhao Yuanci got his wish and raised Xiao Qing to Youzhi Palace. Twenty years later, the silence in the Daliang Palace became taboo as "Xiao Shuai".
At this time, Xiao Shuai was pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a pair of children. The baby girl was Princess Yulong. "PS: This is the point. The author originally wanted to write the baby boy as the protagonist Zhao Hongrun, but it felt too
It’s ridiculous, so let’s forget it.』
It has to be said that the pair of children born to Xiao Shuai are a confused person, and no one really knows. No one knows whether these siblings are the children of the former crown prince Zhao Yuanmin or the current Wei Wang Zhao Yuancai.
Therefore, Zhao Yuancai, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, once thought of drowning the children, but after Xiao Shuai's pleading, he gave up temporarily.
You must know that Xiao Shuai once had a miscarriage due to being drugged by the former Crown Princess Zhai, which made the imperial doctor diagnose her as infertile. At that time, Xiao Shuai was struck by lightning.
After all, infertility is fatal to any woman. Wasn't it because of the hidden disease in the former Crown Princess Zhai that she was extremely jealous of her?
Therefore, this pair of children can be said to be a miracle given to her by God. She cannot guarantee whether they will be able to have children in the future.
However, after Xiao Shuai's pleading, her children finally survived.
If this pair of children made Zhao Yuanci feel uncomfortable, then the former prince Zhao Yuanmin and his son who were confined in the palace made Zhao Yuanci feel even more uncomfortable as if there was a lump in his throat.
The twelve-year hatred of seizing his wife made Zhao Yuanci absolutely unwilling to pardon Zhao Yuanni - he could exile Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, but Zhao Yuanni alone could not be tolerated.
In Zhao Yuancai's view, Zhao Yuanqi and his son must die!
However, when to kill Zhao Yuanyi and his son is a question. At present, due to the fall of the Yu Shui army and the serious injury of Yu Wang Zhao Yuandai, Zhao Yuanci does not dare to kill Zhao Yuanyi and his son rashly.
Xiao Shuai noticed this. He knew Zhao Yuanxi very well and knew that the man he loved was a person with an extremely strong desire to control, and he would never tolerate Zhao Yuanqi.
When she thought of this matter, Xiao Shuai became confused.
After all, Zhao Yuanqi and she have been husband and wife for twelve years, and the former has been kind to her in the past. More importantly, Xiao Shuai is more or less aware of Wang Ao's various conspiracies against Zhao Yuanqi back then, but she hopes to return to Zhao Yuanqi
Around me, so I turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.
Therefore, Xiao Shuai felt guilty towards Zhao Yuanqi.
But now, Zhao Yuanxi seems to be the king of Wei, but he still wants to kill Zhao Yuanni, which makes Xiao Shuai very intolerable.
Suddenly one day, a rumor spread in the palace, saying, "The children Xiao Shuai gave birth to were not born to His Majesty (Zhao Yuancai)." This rumor made Xiao Shuai frightened.
After all, who is the biological father of the children she gave birth to? This was originally a layer of paper that neither she nor Zhao Yuanxi wanted to break. But now, since this layer of paper has been broken, then, according to Zhao Yuanxi's character
, he will definitely kill her children.
Sure enough, within a few days, Tong Xian, who had just become the eunuch Bingli, brought several young eunuchs to Xiao Shuai's Youzhi Palace, trying to take away Xiao Shuai's children. Xiao Shuai threatened to kill Tong Xian.
Having no choice but to retreat, he retreated.
That night, Zhao Yuanxi came to Youzhi Palace. Although Xiao Shuai begged, in the end, Zhao Yuanxi ordered people to take away the baby boy, leaving only the baby girl, who would be Princess Yulong in the future.
Yes, female babies can be kept, but male babies must be killed to avoid future problems.
This incident made Xiao Shuai firm up her thoughts and decided to try to rescue Zhao Yuanqi and let Zhao Yuanqi take away the baby boy.
But the problem is, she has no help in Daliang. How can she take Zhao Yuanmin away from Daliang on her own?
The first thing she thought of was the King of Yu, Zhao Yuanqi, and the King of Yi, Zhao Yuanli, who had already left the cabinet and established a palace at that time.
Compared to King Yu Zhao Yuanqi who was seriously injured and unconscious, Xiao Shuai had a closer relationship with King Yi Zhao Yuanli. After all, when she had a private meeting with Zhao Yuanxi, it was Wang Ao and Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli who arranged it.
Therefore, she tried every means to contact Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli and asked him to help.
After getting Xiao Shuai's secret letter, Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli went to the palace to meet Xiao Shuai, and when he heard that Xiao Shuai asked her to rescue Zhao Yuanli
Zhao Yuanli was shocked when she met her son.
But in the end, due to Xiao Shuai's pleading, Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli, who had always secretly admired Xiao Shuai, agreed to the matter.
A few days later, Zhao Yuancai stayed at Youzhi Palace at night. Xiao Shuai took the opportunity to steal Zhao Yuancai's private seal and gave it to Lang Wei, who had been arranged by King Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli outside Youzhi Palace.
After obtaining the private seal, those Lang Wei immediately went to the prison in the palace, rescued the baby boy born to Zhao Yuanzhi and his son and Xiao Shuai, and quietly left the palace through the secret passage of Tingfeng Pavilion and came to Prince Yi's Mansion.
I still remember that a few years ago, when Zhao Yuansi was fighting with the former crown prince Zhao Yuanqi in the court, and King Yu Zhao Yuanqi was commanding the Yu Shui army outside, King Yi Zhao Yuanqi was alone in the city, feeling extremely depressed.
At this time, he remembered the teasing made by King Yu Zhao Yuanqi: So what if he escapes from the palace? Isn’t it because he can’t get out of the city?
Therefore, King Yi Zhao Yuanli secretly asked someone to dig a secret passage directly outside the city, so that he could go out of the city at any time.
Even Zhao Yuancai and Zhao Yuandai didn't know about this matter.
Therefore, King Yi Zhao Yuanli sent people overnight to send the former prince Zhao Yuanli and his son, as well as Xiao Shuai's baby boy, away from Daliang through a secret passage and arranged for them to go to Nanyan.
The next day, Zhao Yuanxi learned that the former prince Zhao Yuanli and others had escaped from the palace prison. He was furious and came to Youzhi Palace in a rage.
Because the guards guarding the palace prison said that someone held his private seal and took away Zhao Yuanqi and his party last night.
And the only person who has a chance to obtain Zhao Yuancai's private seal is Xiao Shuai.
"Bitch, how dare you lie to me? How dare you betray my trust in you?!... Where is he? Where is he?!"
Xiao Shuai smiled miserably and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing, you have already obtained the throne, why can't you let him go?...Him? He has left long ago, and he must have been far away from Daliang at this moment."
"Who is it? Even if you defrauded me of my private seal, he would never be able to escape from Daliang without help...Who is it? Who is helping you?!...Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!"
Zhao Yuancai, who was so angry that he couldn't care less about the fact that Xiao Shuai was his true love, became so angry that he grabbed a decorative sword from the wall and stabbed the blade into Xiao Shuai's abdomen with red eyes.
However, after coming back to his senses, Zhao Yuanci was also shocked: he killed the woman he loved most with his own hands.
And this scene happened to be seen by Princess Yulong who jumped into the inner hall.
Afterwards, Zhao Yuansi, who was in despair, called in the eunuch Tong Xian who was guarding outside the palace.
When Tong Xian entered Youzhi Palace, he was also dumbfounded. He saw Xiao Shuai lying in a pool of blood, and Princess Yulong, who was only two years old, pulled her mother without knowing what happened, saying that "mother sleeps on the ground."
"Sick" and the like.
Beside him, Zhao Yuancai's eyes were red and he was in despair.
"His Majesty?"
"Send Yulong to Yuqiong Pavilion." Emperor Wei ordered.
Tong Xian nodded and sent someone to send Princess Yulong to Yuqiong Pavilion. From then on, Princess Yulong was not allowed to set foot in Youzhi Palace.
After the arrangements were made, Tong Xian looked at Xiao Shuai who was lying in a pool of blood, with a sad look on his face.
After all, Xiao Shuai is the daughter of Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nan Yan. Even if Zhao Yuanxi was so angry that he killed the woman he loved most by mistake, there is no guarantee that Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nan Yan, would listen to the explanation and let it go.
Especially when the Yu Shui Army and Shun Shui Army were both destroyed, if Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nan Yan, avenged his daughter, raised an army to rebel, and supported the former crown prince Zhao Yuanji to ascend to power, all the efforts of more than ten years of planning would be in vain.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yuanci finally decided to do nothing.
"Send people to Nanyan quickly, summon Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan and his son into Daliang, capture and kill them!"
After hearing this, Tong Xian thought for a while and said in a low voice: "In this case, I have a suitable candidate here, that is, the guard general Wei Mu when Wei Ji entered our Wei Dynasty a while ago. This person is Wei Guojuan (juan).
) Hou’s second son wants to serve as an official in our great Wei Dynasty, and has tried many times to seek an audience with His Majesty through his servants... This man is said to have an old relationship with the Xiao family of Nanyan."
Zhao Yuancai thought for a while and said: "Tell Wei Mu to help me eradicate the Xiao family. He is the general of Nanyan."
