The disputes between the previous generation are nothing new. The story starts with the emperor's grandfather's generation. At that time, Emperor Gaozu's queen was of noble birth and was the legitimate daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. She had a great influence in the court.
But at that time, Emperor Gaozu had a very beloved concubine. This concubine was from a mediocre background. She was a commoner woman whom Gaozu met when he was on tour. Because he liked her very much, he brought her into the palace. After that, she was successively promoted to the position of concubine.
The queen and the concubine each have a son. The queen's son is the late emperor, and the concubine's son is Prince Jing.
Legend has it that the situation at that time was like this: Emperor Gaozu doted on the imperial concubine very much, and Aiwujiwu also liked Prince Jing, so he wanted to pass the throne to Prince Jing.
But of course the ministers in the court would not allow it. The queen's son was both the legitimate son and the eldest son. He was also very knowledgeable and kind and courteous. There was no reason for the throne to be passed on to the second son.
Due to the pressure from the court, Emperor Gaozu did not make Prince Jing the crown prince, but he also delayed in making the late emperor the crown prince.
Later, Emperor Gaozu fell seriously ill, but Prince Jing was still leading troops at the border and did not come back in time. By the time he came back, the late emperor had already ascended the throne with the support of the queen and officials, and the imperial concubine was given death by the queen.
The overall situation has been decided. No matter how favored Prince Jing is by Emperor Gaozu, he can only be a minister now.
But things were not that simple. Prince Jing got a piece of news from his mother-in-law, saying that Emperor Gaozu had originally issued an imperial edict to pass on the throne, and there were two copies.
One of the copies was taken and destroyed by the queen, while the other was always in the hands of the imperial concubine. Knowing that she was about to die soon, the imperial concubine divided the imperial edict into six parts, hid it in the reward and sent it out of the palace.
As long as Prince Jing can find the will, he can overthrow his brother's throne and restore legitimacy.
Prince Jing was originally dissatisfied with his brother's ascension to the throne, and the death of his mother and concubine made him hate the mother and son even more deeply, so he fled back to his fiefdom overnight and began to plot to seize the throne.
Chu Jihan also admired Prince Jing very much. It had been forty years since he was robbed of the throne when he was nineteen years old, and he had beaten to death his brother who had robbed him of the throne. He hasn't given up yet.
Although he didn't grab the throne, he still struggled a lot, and it was true that his brother's throne was unstable.
To be honest, Chu Jihan felt that Prince Jing was still fighting for the throne at his age. This was no longer fighting for the throne, but just fighting for one breath. Even if he did win, he would probably die of old age not long after he took the throne.
While Chu Jihan was thinking about the throne, he was observing Su Ningxin without any trace, hoping to continue to get some information that he didn't know from her thoughts.
It's a pity that Su Ning always thinks wildly when she is bored. Even if there are some useful things, Chu Jihan may not be able to understand them.
[I'm coming! The Yang family is finally here. If they don't come, the boss won't be able to hold on. He hasn't even been given a drink of water after talking for so long. No one can hold on.]
Listening to Su Ningxin's voice, Chu Jihan subconsciously glanced to the side from the corner of his eye. Sure enough, he saw firelight flashing in the distance. It seemed that there were quite a few people coming.
Gu Mingxi, who was standing at the front, naturally noticed the fire in the distance and finally ended her long speech, "It seems that the military camp in Chang Mu Road is very lively today."
Seeing that the soldiers below all looked confused and had been kneeling for a long time, Gu Mingxi waved his hand and said, "You guys should get back on your feet too."
Su Ningxin was like a real eunuch, standing behind Gu Mingxi with her head bowed. In fact, she was helping her guard the surroundings.
Although Gu Mingxi was very good at martial arts, and Su Ningxin taught him most of her martial arts, she still had to be on guard against anyone taking advantage of the chaos when the soldiers were looking out to do something bad to Gu Mingxi.
Soon the people from the Yang family arrived. The leader was a middle-aged man, dressed in an elegant scholar's dress, but people would not really think that he was a powerless master.
Originally, Chang Mudao's military camp was defenseless after such a wave of killings by General Wang. The visitor also held General Fujun's token in his hand, so naturally no one dared to stop him, allowing him to go smoothly. Arriving in front of Gu Mingxi.
The leader of the Yang family got off his horse and knelt down in front of Gu Mingxi, "General Yang Xin of the Fu Army is here to see the emperor. Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."
All the Yang family members behind him also dismounted and knelt down.
[The information is quite good. If the scene had not been suppressed, these people would have come here to finish the damage.]
Su Ningxin complained silently in her heart, and looked at Lin Yue who was not far away from her out of the corner of her eye. However, she did not look at herself, but looked at the man kneeling behind Yang Xin as if she wanted to eat someone. Young gentleman.
Soon Su Ningxin remembered who he was. It should be Yang Bodang, the young master of the Yang family who had a conflict with Lin Yue.
He lowered his head and Su Ningxin couldn't see his appearance, but he should be handsome. Although she had just focused on the handsome old man Yang Xin, the appearance of the group of juniors following him should not be bad either.
Because if it was too ugly, Su Ningxin would also pay attention to it deliberately. Since she had no impression of it, it should be that she was not ugly.
Over there, Yang Xin had already begun to plead guilty, "I arrived late to save you, which frightened the emperor. Please forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, General Wang's face changed as he stood up. Did Yang Xin put him on the fire and frighten the emperor with his words? Isn’t it just about him
He had always known that Yang Xin, an old fox, would only abandon his troops to save his chariot, but he never expected that he could demolish bridges so easily.
But now is not the time to resent Yang Xin. General Wang reacted quickly and immediately knelt on the ground with a bang. Regardless of the pain in his knees, he banged his forehead on the ground and said that he did not know that the emperor was here. , it was his fault for bumping into the emperor, please punish him.
Gu Mingxi still responded calmly, "Please call the two generals quickly. I have seen the hard work of the generals guarding the border. How can I blame the generals?"
Raising his hands to help the two people up, Gu Mingxi pretended to look around, "As for what caused the incident in the military camp today, naturally we can't let it go. We need to find out carefully. As for the fact that the general is not in the military camp, such a big thing happened. There is no one in charge of the matter, so he should be punished for dereliction of duty."
He turned his head and looked at Yang Xin with a spring breeze, "General Yang rushed over to rescue him so quickly, which shows that the general is loyal and should be rewarded heavily."
[You are really good at painting.]Su Ningxin secretly gave Gu Mingxi a thumbs up. With a few words, General Wang and the Yang family leader felt that they had escaped disaster, and by the way, they suppressed their enemy, General Chen.
But in fact, the so-called heavy reward was just a casual comment. She didn't believe that General Yang could still ask for a heavy reward from the emperor.
As for General Chen's punishment, Gu Mingxi didn't say anything. In the end, the emperor was so busy with his affairs that he 'forgot' these small things. Not only did the emperor not punish him, but other officials did not dare to punish General Chen. After all, who dared to cross the emperor? What if the emperor remembers it? Dare to say, "Your Majesty, I have punished you." '
