beggar prince

During the Shenyuan period of the Great Wei Dynasty, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful, the weather was smooth, and the world was peaceful.The Huns in the north have long been pacified, and the hundreds of tribes in South Vietnam, Dongying, and Koryo have also become vassal states of the Great Wei.Although Emperor Xiao is sitting in the world, receiving tribute from all directions, and guests from all directions, he has no blessing to enjoy it.None of the genius doctors in the world can cure his wind-sickness, and he is already terminally ill due to excessive indulgence.

Knowing that he would not live long, he wanted to abolish the current crown prince, Xiao Heng, and replace his favorite son of Concubine Liu Gui, Xiao Lie, as the crown prince. Many ministers strongly opposed it.

The struggle in the harem and in the court has become increasingly fierce.Empress Zhao's natal Zhao family held the military power, and Concubine Liu's elder brother Liu Taishi had all the power in the court.It can be said that two tigers are fighting each other.In the Great Wei Dynasty, the mountains and rains were about to come for a while, the situation was unpredictable, and people were panic-stricken.

The weather was extremely cloudy and cold, and the Forbidden City first fell in small snowflakes like cotton wool, and then gradually the heavy snow of goose feathers drifted up, covering the Forbidden City with a thick layer of snow like a brocade quilt.

The weather was so cold that one's heart trembled, and the court ladies and eunuchs were all dressed in cotton and silk shirts, standing in front of the gate of the Golden Luan Hall.

In the morning light, Xiao Huang sat on the golden palace, his face was pale, he covered the corner of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, coughed slightly, and when he took it off, it turned out to be blood, which stained the white brocade handkerchief red.

He knocked over the inkstone in his hand in a panic, his sleeve was stained with ink, he couldn't help frowning.Seeing this, the eunuch stepped forward and wiped it for him with a white brocade handkerchief.

His Highness's civil and military officials chattered endlessly, which made him very tired.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked out, holding the wat board, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Qi Zuo, I have a loyal word, and I ask your Majesty to forgive me. The prince is still young, and I am afraid that he will not be able to be the prince. I am afraid that the current situation will change. And the king of Wei is old. , honest and respectful, filial piety and loyalty, daily food and clothing, hard reading of poetry and books, is worthy of the crown prince's great responsibility. His mother is gentle and virtuous, her kindness is clear, and she understands righteousness, so she is the best candidate for the queen."

This is the third time a courtier proposed to change the crown prince, Xiao Huang stretched his eyebrows, and was about to speak.

Empress Zhao's elder brother, Zhao Shengqi, became angry when he heard this, and he said: "My Majesty, my Zhao family guards half of the Wei Dynasty, how could the current situation be turbulent! Lord Shangshu is full of nonsense!"

Other courtiers also participated in the debate, and quarreled fiercely in the court hall.Zhao Shengqi hit Lord Shang Shu in a rage.

The ministers rushed to fight, but the officials of the two factions quarreled again, and no one could suppress it.The court hall was as lively as a vegetable market, and the officials quarreled like shrews.

The civil and military officials knew in their hearts that this was the emperor's intention.Because he loves Concubine Liu Gui, he wants to change the crown prince.It is absurd to change the crown prince because of the favored concubine. There are many cases in the past dynasties, and few of them have a happy ending.

If the change to the crown prince is not done well, there will be endless troubles.It's fine if one side is strong, but both the crown prince and the king of Wei have power. The Zhao family holds the military power. If one is not careful, the court may be overthrown, but Xiao Huang is not afraid of anything.Xiao Huang gave the ministers all kinds of problems.

Xiao Huang couldn't bear it anymore: "Zunzao! Change the crown prince!"

The Grand Master stood up and said: "Your Majesty, because you dote on the concubine and change the crown prince, this behavior will bring disaster to the country and the people, and the country will be unstable. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The prime minister made a statement: "Your Majesty, you must not change the crown prince just because you favor the harem! Abolishing the crown prince is not a child's play, please think twice!"

The ministers who disapproved of changing the crown prince fell to their knees one after another: "Please take back the order, Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiao Huang's eyes turned black with anger, he closed his eyes for a while.

He thought this was the third time he had caused a disturbance in the court, he said: "Forget it, I'm not dead yet, why are you so anxious!"

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all returned to their positions and knelt down. They shouted tremblingly: "Your servant should die, please forgive me!"

Xiao Huang irritatedly asked the eunuch to announce his retirement.

Civil and military officials withdrew respectfully.Xiao Huang walked out of the hall, the weather was cold, he breathed out a white breath as soon as he gasped.

Thinking about what happened in the main hall just now, he took big strides angrily, and walked back to Weiyang Palace by himself, the eunuchs and maids followed him closely, leaving behind a string of footprints.

When he arrived at Weiyang Palace, Concubine Liu Gui had just waited for him to lie down and rest, when the maid asked Grand Master Liu to see him.

Xiao Huang sat up and leaned on the dragon pillow, panting weakly. He was walking in a hurry just now, which made his chest tight.

Grand Master Liu came in and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body."

Xiao Huangdao: "I'm going to die, I can't get better."

Taishi Liu shed tears: "Your Majesty will live a happy life and be safe and sound."

Xiao Huang took a breath, he said: "How to deal with the prince's matter, the Zhao family's resistance is too strong."

Taishi Liu said: "I have a plan, I'm afraid His Majesty will not agree."

Xiao Huang: "Aiqing, please tell me."

Taishi Liu leaned on his ear and said a plan, Xiao Huang smiled when he heard it, and the stone that was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground, but it also brought endless troubles to Wei.

Today, Empress Zhao invited her elder brother Zhao Shengqi to discuss the matter of abolishing the crown prince.

She was fidgeting in the Qianqing Palace, she was upset because Concubine Liu Gui was competing with her for the crown prince.

The Liu family was arrogant, and Concubine Liu was favored by the emperor.She was jealous and hated Concubine Liu Gui, wishing she could drink her flesh and blood.

The emperor was partial to children and wanted to abolish the prince.She knows that in this struggle, it's either you die or I live, and there is no way out.

The queen is 25 years old, flirtatious and gorgeous, graceful and luxurious, but the emperor doesn't like her, thinking she is too domineering.She has three children, and she has lost her most beloved eldest prince in previous harem battles. She gave birth to a pair of twins three years ago.

Longzi Xiaoheng has seven moles on his waist, like the Big Dipper.When he was born, he was named the prince, and Xiao Wei, the dragon girl, was named Princess Yuanshan.

After she gave birth to the prince, she invited a celestial master to do divination for the prince. The celestial master said that the prince was the reincarnation of a real dragon and would ascend to the throne in the future.

But Xiao Heng is the only star of the gods. Although he is the son of heaven, his fate is extremely bumpy. Xiao Heng's life will suppress his parents and his wife and children, and he will even have no parents, no wife and children, which is extremely dangerous.

It is necessary to find a woman or a man with the Lone Luan star in the horoscope to marry, in order to turn the bad luck into good luck and weaken the danger of the lone star of the evil spirit.

General Zhao Shengqi took his youngest son Zhao Yuanjian to the palace on a fine horse.

According to the legend of the maid, he walked into the Qianqing Palace, and the queen saw her brother coming, so she asked the maid to lead the prince and Zhao Yuanjian to play in the imperial garden.

Empress Zhao said: "The emperor's health is already failing. As long as he dies, the Zhao family will rule the world. Now my brother will fully support me and deal with Concubine Liu Gui."

Zhao Shengqi: "Sister, don't worry, that scoundrel will never get on the throne!"

Queen Zhao said: "You have to win over the civil and military officials and make them stand by our side."

Zhao Shengqi: "Sister, don't worry."

Xiao Huang's complexion was rosy, and he was in good spirits after eating the Taoist elixir.

On this day, he announced in the main hall that he would take the prince to Mount Tai to worship the god of Mount Tai, hoping to get the blessing of God and bless him with a long life.

The ministers knelt down and begged him not to go.

Xiao Huang said: "You don't allow this all day long, that's not allowed, I will go this time!"

With a cold snort, he retreated directly, leaving behind a crowd of courtiers who held objections.

He walked into the Qianqing Palace and asked the eunuch to take away Xiao Heng who was playing.

Xiao Heng cried out in fright, a pair of almond-like pupils looked at Xiao Huang in horror, he had never seen this tall man before.

Xiao Heng was taken back to Weiyang Palace, Xiao Huang asked the eunuch Xiao Heng to throw him on the dragon couch, and he didn't care anymore.

Xiao Heng cried loudly in fright, he hid in the brocade quilt, trembling.

At noon, the maid brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge and fed it to Xiao Heng.Xiao Heng sat on the dragon couch, his eyes were red from crying, his mouth curled up, thinking of the queen.

In another bedroom, Xiao Huang hugged Xiao Lie, coaxed Xiao Lie to play with the little wooden horse, and shared family happiness with Concubine Liu Gui.

After the queen learned about it, she immediately got on the dragon chariot and rushed to Weiyang Palace. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Xiao Huang holding Xiao Lie and touching Xiao Lie's little face.

The Queen's heart was on fire, this was the kind of father-son love that her emperor's son could not enjoy.

She suppressed her anger, knelt down and begged Xiao Huang not to take the prince away.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is only the emperor, if something happens, how will the concubine survive."

Xiao Huang put down Xiao Lie in his arms, Longyan was furious: "What could happen? You still can't trust me? Eunuch Li sent the Queen out of Weiyang Palace!"

The queen heard Xiao Heng's crying in the next room, and she was very worried, so she had no choice but to give up.

She squatted halfway to Emperor Xiao: "Your Majesty, my concubine, bid farewell!"

She turned around and left without looking back. Concubine Liu Gui's sneering sound came from behind her. It was so crisp and delicate that it could make a man's body go numb.

The queen returned to Qianqing Palace in a dragon chariot, so she had to ask Zhao Shengqi to send experts to protect the prince.

Xiao Huang went to Taishan to perform sacrifices. During the sacrifice ceremony, there were many people and the guards didn't pay attention. The prince mysteriously disappeared.

The maid and eunuch panicked and ran into Qianqing Palace to send a letter to the queen. When the queen heard it, she threw off the phoenix crown on her head and said, "I knew that the dog emperor had no good intentions. It must be planned by the dog emperor and Liu concubine. Without a son, Jiangshan is not something her son can take away."

She wrote a secret letter to Zhao Shengqi, asking him to track down the whereabouts of the prince.

Soon after, the emperor canonized Concubine Liu's son as the crown prince, and died on the dragon couch within a few days.

The Zhao family holds the military power of Xiao Guo, and the power is all over the world, and the arrogance is arrogant.When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was immediately suppressed by the Queen Mother Zhao.Liu Taishi was scheming and led his courtiers to fight with the Queen Mother.In a fit of rage, Zhao Shengqi led an army into the Forbidden City and killed the entire Liu family.

The queen mother chopped off Concubine Liu Guifei's hands and feet and kept her in the palace. She tortured her in every way and asked her to tell the whereabouts of the prince.

The courtiers were afraid of the Zhao family, so they worshiped under the Queen Mother one after another. Since then, the Queen Mother has taken power and the new emperor has become a puppet.

The Empress Dowager Zhao was extremely intelligent and governed the country to make the country rich and the people strong.She had tasted the overwhelming taste of power, and she couldn't let it go anymore.
