These two people are naturally Su Tang and Luo Xingchen. Three years ago, Pei Xuan, the eldest son of Duke Pei, helped the coffin of Duke Pei who died in the battle back to the capital. He was falsely accused of murdering his stepmother. Before Duke Pei could be buried in peace, the eldest son of Duke Pei had to enter the palace. Defend yourself.
Later, Shen Yan, the prefect of Tongzhou, came to Beijing, and the eldest son of Pei Guogong revealed that the Zhou family had committed adultery with Sun Hong and murdered Duke Pei and his eldest son Pei Xuan. Zhou Shangshu was reprimanded for his incompetence in educating his daughter.
The old emperor was grieving over the loss of his beloved general Pei Guogong, but he suffered a stroke that night in the palace of his favorite concubine Jing. He summoned the imperial doctor overnight for diagnosis and treatment. When the news came out, the generals were in an uproar.
The old emperor was critically ill and the prince was in charge of the country. The eldest son of Duke Pei hurriedly inherited the dukedom of Pei and took charge of the military power that originally belonged to Duke Pei. The previously peaceful capital was boiling like boiling water.
Seeing that the old emperor could not hold on any longer and the prince was about to ascend the throne, the third prince raised his arms and rebelled in the name of the Qing emperor. Prince Pei Guogong led the troops to fight.
The imperial doctors tried their best, and the old emperor lay in bed for less than a month before he finally passed away. Prince Murong Zhao inherited the throne and tried his best to suppress the rebel army united by the third prince and several princes.
The new Duke of Pei, Pei Xuan, had little experience and was once defeated when commanding the battle, leaving the third prince's army to rush into the imperial city. At the critical moment, the new emperor Murong Zhao, escorted by Fang Xiaowen and Luo Xingchen, prepared to flee overseas.
But in the end, through arduous war and hard work, Duke Pei finally beheaded several rebel princes with his sword and successfully suppressed the rebel army.
This war started in the summer and lasted until the spring of the next year when the dust settled. Murong Zhao returned to the imperial city and announced the national policy of allowing the people of the country to recuperate.
Due to the civil strife in the country, small remote countries harassed the border of Qihuang Kingdom. For more than a year, Pei Xuan led troops to conquer the border and forced the small neighboring countries to surrender.
It was like this that nearly two years passed before the turmoil caused by the new emperor's accession to the throne was finally settled. Now that Qihuang Kingdom is under the governance of the new emperor, the people can live and work in peace and contentment again.
In the past three years, Su Tang has not always been overseas. The first time she went to sea, she didn't go too far. She was on an island not far away, waiting for someone to come to her in case Murong Zhao and Pei Xuan retreated.
Later, after learning that the two had successfully suppressed the rebels, Su Tang returned to Qihuang Kingdom, arranged some business matters for Sujiatun and her, and then went to sea again.
The longest trip lasted for half a year, but the short trip lasted for three or four months, but Su Tang never returned to the capital. Naturally, he and Pei Xuan also hadn't seen each other for a while.
Three years have passed, many things have changed, and many things have remained the same. Luo Xingchen was speechless when he heard Su Tang say this about himself, "Princess Qinghe, please pity me, I am a little messenger, how can I dare to disobey us?" Duke Pei, the great hero who protects his family and country!"
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me. Who forced you to be an official? You're stupid!" Three years later, the monster is still a monster, and his venomous tongue is still very venomous, Su Tang said to Luo Xingchen.
When Luo Xingchen stayed in Qihuang Kingdom, he really wanted to retreat overseas when it was most dangerous. But later, Pei Xuan turned defeat into victory, and Murong Zhao wanted to confer meritorious services on Luo Xingchen and Fang Xiaowen. Fang Xiaowen was originally a candidate for civil service. He went directly to the household department.
Then Luo Xingchen became a small official, a messenger, responsible for delivering news about Princess Qinghe and domestic affairs.
