Pei Ruyu privately complained to Mu Anzhi about the Liu family, "It's all the illness that the Liu family has given to His Majesty. Your Majesty has been suffering from it for a while. Previously, he was from a poor family and suppressed the noble children. Now that the poor family probably made His Majesty feel uneasy, he used it again.
My dear, go and ask Auntie Liu of the Liu family if she recognizes General Qin from the Longhu Camp. The Qin family was originally from the Imperial Guard, and at that time the Imperial Guard was under the command of the old Duke."
"That's the truth. At that time, General Qin's official position in the Imperial Guard was probably not high. I think my aunt knew more about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang. I went to ask, but she didn't know anything." I was really involved in this wave.
You will know from time to time that you cannot care about any awkwardness in relationships. You must always be aware of more information and more situations, otherwise, the invisible crises around you will destroy your temper at any time!
And Mu Anzhi does not represent his own life. He has a wife, and his wife still has two of his flesh and blood in her belly. His close friends, his loyal ministers, and his relatives. Once Mu Anzhi is unstable, these people will be like a nest.
No one can save the egg.
Mu Anzhi went to ask the princess for advice, and the princess actually knew, "Qin Yi, he used to be my father's personal guard. Because he was smart and considerate, his father praised him and let him work as a small officer in the Imperial Guard.
Banner. When he was in the Imperial Guard, he was promoted quickly because of his bravery and righteousness. However, later he lost a duel with Lu Boxin, so he left the Imperial Guard and took up his post at Longhu Camp."
"I heard that Qin Yi is an authentic Shaolin martial artist. Since he is the personal guard of the old prince, who did he learn the martial arts from?"
"Qin Yi's father was originally from a small family in the Northern Xinjiang Army. His father was a very ordinary person, but Qin Yi had few ambitions. He went to school when he was a child. Because he was from a military household, he himself was not
I stopped reading the imperial examination materials once I learned some words. After I learned a few sets of military boxing among the generals, I practiced my fists, feet, swords and arrows every day. Unfortunately, my family education was ordinary, and I couldn't become a master no matter how hard I practiced. Qin Yi persuaded
His father spent most of his family’s life to seek help from an elder in the family who was familiar with the matter. He also had some connections with relatives and friends. He sought help from a worshiper close to my father and wanted to take him as his teacher. He has mid-level qualifications.
He was just a top student, but he worked extremely hard. The worshipers also said that he would be successful in the future. However, he was too dedicated to his work, and he would either win or lose in the future. Therefore, even though all the martial arts were taught to him, he was not accepted as a disciple.
My father liked his progress, and later he accepted him as a personal guard." The princess said, "Since the Liu family's defeat, many members of the family have been implicated, and Qin Yi is now the best official."
Mu An's heart skipped a beat, "Auntie, you know him so well. He was not implicated, which shows that his official position was not high at that time." However, the princess of the county was born into a noble family and was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo's family who was married to a noble son-in-law twice.
"I also felt that he would be promising in the future, but your mother didn't like him." The princess saw the momentary lag in Mu Anzhi's face and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's hard to bring up the topic of your mother, right?"
"No, I don't have a deep memory of her." Mu Anzhi suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart with reason and asked, "Why doesn't she like it?"
"Your mother's temperament is different from mine. After she found out about this, she said that Qin Yi was too eager for quick success and quick success. If the master said that, he would really not become a disciple? Maybe the master said that intentionally to test him. He still talked to him like this.
Practicing martial arts under the guidance of a master shows that one really puts profit before righteousness. There is no righteousness for such a person to continue to work in the camp." The princess sighed, "Your mother sees everything too clearly, but there is no point in seeing everything too clearly."
"Then why did she marry His Majesty?"
"I have to marry." The princess sighed with emotion, "Don't listen to that old man Lin's nonsense. What does he know? He is just a scholar who wants to make trouble for the third generation of the Liu family's daughter to marry into the middle palace. Those acid scholars outside are talking about the Liu family.
If a large family is married and controls the government, which duke or prince is not a large family by marriage. Do they want to find a poor family to marry their children? Besides, controlling the government and the important ministers in the government will definitely have an impact on the government. Those scholars usually talk about it more than
Everyone is pure and white, but they just want to get rid of the dignitaries in the court and let them rule by themselves."
"This is not my defense for my family. There is no noble family in the dynasty who has not made great contributions to the court and has a lifelong relationship with the royal family. Even if the scholars know these things, they cannot really understand them. Liu's daughter is the first to
Later, starting from Queen Xiaowen, the Liu family was first in charge of military affairs in the southeast. At that time, changes occurred in the northwest, and Peng Hou, who was stationed in the northwest, died in battle. All members of the family died in the city. The Liu family was quickly transferred to the northwest to quell the war, and the men were on the front line.
During the war, my great-great-grandmother was pregnant at the time. Because she was worried about the war in the northwest, the birth was difficult, and she passed away after giving birth to a daughter. After hearing this, Queen Xiaoyi felt pity for the girl, so she took the girl and raised her in the palace.
Entering the middle palace, this is Queen Xiaowen."
"Empress Xiaowen has no children. For all the princes born from concubines, whoever can adopt the queen will have the title of legitimate son, which means that he has one foot in the East Palace. It's not that I'm being harsh, but whoever doesn't want to adopt the queen as the legitimate son, who doesn't want to marry
Daughter of the Liu family? Do you think that the Liu family tried their best to get this marriage? Are you wrong? After the late emperor adopted Queen Xiaowen, he was actually worried. It was the late emperor who asked for the marriage, adding another layer of marriage and another layer of guarantee.
." The princess said, "The first wife of the late emperor was Empress Xiaorui, who was also my maternal grandmother. The queen of filial piety was the successor of the late emperor, and empress filial piety was the mother of the late emperor's eldest son, Prince Zheng. The Liu family had no intention of letting you
My mother is marrying the prince because in terms of age, I am the same age as King Zheng. If the Liu family wants to give birth to another queen, they will let me marry into the royal family, and my temperament is more suitable than your mother."
"What happened?" Mu Anzhi couldn't help but ask.
"Because of a case. Now when I look through the history books, it is written that Empress Xiaojing was born in the Wang family of Langya. She did enter the palace as the daughter of the Wang family. However, it was only a branch of the Wang family, and that branch was not in Langya, but
There is a small family in Shaanxi. The family's surname is Wang. It is said that the ancestor is a branch of the Langya Wang family who moved to Shaanxi. Later, the family became rich and donated an official position to his children. The king stayed until he was forty years old and became a man in Langya.
The Qipin magistrates of the county, because they were both surnamed Wang, connected their clans. Queen Xiaojing's status was not high when she first entered the palace, but she was shrewd and stable, and had good luck. She gave birth to the late emperor's eldest son, and she was good at flattering people, so she was quite popular.
Due to his scheming, he slowly rose in rank. In addition, Empress Xiaorui passed away, and the late emperor had always loved Prince Zheng. For her, the throne was only one step away."
"But at that time, the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Qi, came from a wealthy family, Duke Qi." The princess said, "Do you understand? It was not only a fight for the throne, but also a fight for the throne, and a fight for the throne!"
"The Liu family was involved?"
"In the dispute between you and the East Palace, which one of the high-ranking officials in the court and the wealthy and powerful families in the country can stay out of it?"
"It wasn't from the beginning..." Mu Anzhi wanted to say, those who followed me were all my friends and subjects...all of whom were friends with me.
The princess said, "It's all the same. Do you think those who are attached to our Liu family are here for the power of my family?"
"That's not what I meant." Mu Anzhi immediately denied it, and then said, "The main reason is that almost everyone who mentions the Liu family has a picture of how powerful the Liu family was back then."
"It's not that exaggerated. In terms of family longevity, no other family can match the Tang family. But the Tang family does not control the military, and from time to time there will be one or two people who look at stupid people, so the emperor can rest assured. Rich families also rise and fall, but since Jingnan
After Gong Liu Fufeng, every generation of the Liu family has been praised as an outstanding person. As long as they are the same as the imperial family, they are more prominent. But which family doesn't want their children to stand out? They are already in the palace..." The princess shook her head, "No.
Let's talk about it. The dispute between Empress Xiaojing and Concubine Qi for the succession led to a case. The late emperor took the princes to go hunting in autumn. The second prince was frightened by a fierce tiger and fell off, breaking his leg. He has been unable to walk since then. He is responsible for Qiu.
The people who are guarding the hunter are the imperial guards. Your Highness may have heard that the Liu family has been in charge of the imperial guards for many years."
"Isn't this just a strange coincidence?"
"No one would think that this is a coincidence, but the Liu family has nothing to do with Prince Zheng and the second prince. What's more, even if the Liu family really supports the eldest prince, there is no need to pour dirty water on themselves. The Liu family can't explain it clearly.
, because Empress Xiaojing quickly proposed the marriage between Prince Zheng and me. My father was very angry, so I then arranged a marriage with Ji Hao, which was considered to avoid being disliked. But then, Prince Zheng appointed the girl who was a direct descendant of Qi Gong's house as his concubine.
." Mu Anzhi looked slightly shocked, wondering if he had to do this for the sake of the throne?
The princess's eyes are insightful into people's hearts. She said, "If you think about it seriously, if something happens to the second prince, the one who will benefit the most is Prince Zheng. But the choice of the future emperor is related to the rise and fall of a family for decades.
At the critical moment of fate, how many people can talk about love. The position of Princess Zheng is to honor the Queen and the reconciliation between Prince Zheng’s line and Qi Guogong’s line. Princess Zheng is the condition for reconciliation.”
"Qi Guogong's Mansion was originally the second prince's greatest reliance in the court. Qi Guogong's Mansion thought it was just an accident, and the matter was revealed. Empress Xiao Jing ascended to the throne, Qi Guifei died in anger in the palace, and the second prince asked the late emperor for
Yongcheng was made a fiefdom, and she left the imperial capital. But the matter was not over yet. Queen Xiaojing’s hometown was in a small county under the rule of Yongcheng. When the second prince named Yongcheng as a fiefdom, Queen Xiaojing tried every means to stop her, and was not afraid to tell
Your Highness, at that time the second prince asked for my mother. My mother was the eldest sister of the late emperor and could speak well in the royal family. She was as close as the other princes by blood. She also felt sorry for the second prince's broken leg.
I came to this fiefdom on behalf of the second prince." The princess's eyes were cold, "The second prince's departure has exposed all the old principles of filial piety to the queen!"
"What branch of the Langya Wang family? At that time, when the late emperor was selecting concubines, all localities recommended official women, and the Wang family was also selected. However, the Wang County magistrate was self-aware and had a good taste in the appearance of his daughter.
, and considering my official position, even if I am lucky enough to be selected, I am afraid that I am not a good person. This County Magistrate Wang has a very good vision. Miss Wang has an impatient temper and has no scheming, but a maid next to Miss Wang has a good appearance, a calm temperament, and is smart.
But she didn't show it to anyone. County Magistrate Wang took this maid under his knees and supported Miss Wang's selection. This is the origin of Queen Xiaojing. She is not a daughter of an official, but was originally a slave who was bought and sold by others. "
Mu Anzhi refused to comment, "But even so, the empress has stayed in the palace for many years and raised the eldest prince. She has worked hard without any merit. If she tells the late emperor the inside story and pleads to admit her mistake, she may not pursue the matter."
"Yes. The late emperor did not pursue the case. Many things happened here. The second prince can't let go of the knot in his heart, and he has been angry for a long time because of the death of the noble concubine." The princess still couldn't bear it when talking about the past, "Second prince
Falling off the horse was the stupidest thing that Queen Xiaojing did in her life. This stupid woman, she committed a big taboo! There has always been a struggle between power, and if you really have the ability to kill your enemy, others will only obey you. But like her.
Like this, the second prince fell and became disabled. As long as the second prince is a man, he will never be able to swallow this breath!"
"The Queen of Filial Piety was probably very proud of her ascending to the throne. She was pregnant again and gave birth to a little prince, who was the late emperor's tenth prince. When the tenth prince was celebrating his full moon, the second prince came in to celebrate with a fish intestine sword hidden in his sleeve.
After killing the tenth prince with one sword, he also drank the sword and committed suicide."
Mu Anzhi was shocked, "If you want to kill the filial queen, you should kill the filial queen. Even if you don't kill the filial queen, you can kill Prince Zheng. The tenth prince is nothing more than a baby, the most innocent one."
"Life and death are only a moment, and the pain is for the living. Both the late emperor and the filial empress were seriously ill, but the disputes in the court would never stop. The late emperor felt that everything started because of the princes competing for the heir, so the late emperor prepared to establish a heir. King Zheng
The throne has been confirmed, and Queen Xiaojing suggested that King Xin, who was on good terms with King Zheng, serve in the Imperial Guard."
Mu Anzhi said, wouldn't this offend the Liu family completely? The corners of the princess's lips curled up, "If it were just this matter, the Liu family would never be enemies with Prince Zheng, but Queen Xiaojing is angry with my mother because of the tenth prince."
, she determined that it was my mother who helped the second prince conquer Yongcheng, and that all the actions of the second prince were under the instigation of the Liu family."
"Are you crazy?" How is this possible? If the second prince had the Liu family as his backer, how could he be so paranoid that he would bring his sword into the palace to kill people? It was precisely because the second prince thought that there was no hope of revenge that he reached a dead end!
"One is because of the death of the tenth prince. After all, he is her own flesh and blood. People often don't hate themselves, but find another target of anger. Another thing is that she has a guilty conscience. She colluded with the Xuanjia Wei Cheng family.
The incident was the basis for her murder of the second prince. She was worried that my father would discover it, because my father had been secretly investigating the incident in the paddock, so she was impatient to let King Xin join the Imperial Guard."
"Anxious and guilty, she continued to take risks. She plotted against my father, which led to a rift between my parents. Since the establishment of the Liu family, they have never been enemies of the prince, but this time, if Prince Zheng appoints the Crown Prince to the East Palace and honors the Queen, he will
The hostility of the Liu family will make the Liu family doomed. Perhaps Queen Xiaojing had been too tolerant in the past few decades. Faced with the supreme position that was so easy to obtain, she just couldn't bear it anymore. King Zheng fell in love with the late emperor, and of course the Liu family
It added fuel to the flames, but after all, it was the Cheng family case that took place. Empress Xiaojing committed suicide in Fengyi Palace, and the late emperor did not allow her to join the temple, which shows how deeply he disliked her."
"After King Zheng became a vassal, the late emperor's health was not very stable. Among the princes, who will inherit the throne? After my mother passed away, my father also became ill. After all, the late emperor had many sons, but I only have one brother in my family. I
The younger brother was not a great weapon, but he had no other choice. The Liu family had been a military general for generations, and he had never even touched a sword? Moreover, after King Zheng's incident, the Liu family finally reached a point where there was no retreat and no advance.
Those who knew the inside story believed that King Zheng had offended the Liu family, so the Liu family drove King Zheng away from the throne of the East Palace within his reach."
"At that time, what the whole emperor was focusing on was the marriage between the prince and his younger sister." The princess said, "I heard that your Majesty is quite mean to you now. It was because of his inferiority complex. The late emperor chose him not because of him.
How outstanding talents are depends on the matter between King Zheng and the second prince. The first requirement of the late emperor for the crown prince is that he must be a benevolent king. Among the remaining sons of the late emperor, he is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted. Empress Lan is a keen
Man, after she discovered that the late emperor treated Jinshang differently, she only told him one thing, and that was to let Jinshang be on good terms with the Liu family. Whenever there were rewards from the palace to the Liu family, Empress Lan would give her little sister's share.
Be extra careful. Don't think that it was your mother who begged you to marry me. It was their mother and son who worked hard for this marriage. Of course he will be indifferent to you. When he sees you, he may think of the promise he made to your mother.
Those love words from three generations of lovers, no matter how thick-skinned you are, who knows what you are thinking in your heart."
"The future prince has shown his deep love and will not marry anyone but you. The late emperor also mentioned the marriage to his father many times. How can he refuse? There is no way he can refuse." The princess sighed, "The Liu family was ultimately defeated by the incompetence of the children. As soon as the Lu family's daughter entered
Palace, your mother asked me to prepare a retreat. Maybe the late emperor had a good vision after all, and he is indeed kind-hearted now. I am still alive, and you are also alive."
