His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]
Chapter 169 Parents
The royal families of the Kyushu countries always have their own difficulties.
For Qingzhou, which has many children of the royal family, the conspiracy two years ago was a tragedy caused by too many people wanting to fight for the throne.However, Qingzhou's two neighbors with vast land and abundant resources are facing another dilemma.
Among the Kyushu Five Kingdoms, Liangzhou, Jingzhou and Jizhou have the most extensive areas, but the royal family in Jizhou is far less than that in Qingzhou.
Although they also had ex-royals who were degraded to common people for committing crimes and imprisoned at the border, but to some extent, these people could no longer be counted as royals.
After the young emperor who abdicated in Jizhou died in Zhenguo Temple, if King Zongzheng Jingjun had not added two heirs to the royal family, the royal family with martial arts in Jizhou could be counted with one hand.
Fortunately, the current emperor of Jizhou, Liu Yu, has brought great hope to that land. Judging from the current situation, the situation in Jizhou should get better and better in the next few decades.
In contrast, the original situation in Jingzhou in the south may look slightly better than Jizhou.
Because in addition to the emperor's family, the Jing royal family also has the emperor's younger brother, Prince Xuanfeng, and the princes who guard the various realms. Together, they maintain the stability of Jingzhou and prevent it from being disturbed by monsters.
It's just that this delicate balance was quickly broken after the emperor's only son with martial arts died.
Even Laiyiwei, who is thousands of miles away from Qi Jing, can imagine what kind of tense atmosphere will form within the Jingzhou royal family in the future.
A few years ago, after Qi Jing got along with the eldest sister of the emperor Qi Rong and the eldest princess Xuanying of Jingzhou, he got a little understanding of the suspicious emperor of Jingzhou.
Everyone protects their weaknesses. Of course, Qi Jing puts her imperial sister first, so she believes that the Jingzhou royal family is sorry for their mother and son.
In fact, in Qi Jing's view, whether it is the emperor who expresses his trust in Prince Xuanfeng's mansion but secretly suppresses and controls it, or the prince Xuanfeng who loves the emperor's sister but is unable to compete with his elder brother, Qi Rong is not good.
If it weren't for the emperor of Jingzhou who was suspicious, even his own younger brother was unwilling to believe it, and Prince Xuanfeng had repeatedly backed down and was powerless to fight back, how could Qi Rong be forced to go to great lengths to hide the news of her pregnancy and want to have a baby in Qingzhou? lay down the child.
How could she have to keep little Chiyu by Qi Jing's side because she was afraid that the child would die before he could grow up in Jingzhou, causing the current separation of flesh and blood.
Although Qi Jing feels that he can do a good job, raising this little nephew is like raising Eleven.
But Xiao Shiyi's biological mother is indeed gone, and Xiao Akabane obviously has biological parents, but he can't even recognize each other, which sounds so sad.
When he brought little Akabane back to Tianjing, Qi Jing was actually very confused about how to take care of his little nephew for a while.
For one thing, the child has always been the appearance of the ancestor's return, and it is still in the form of a language barrier with them. Qi Jing can't communicate effectively with his nephew like he can with his younger brother. Most of the time, he can only understand Xiao Akabane with guesswork.Even if she is as confident as Qi Jing, there will inevitably be times when she is unable to do what she wants.
Secondly, Qi Jing always had a conflict in his heart. He hoped that Xiao Chiyu would have a tidy family, but he was also afraid that although the eldest sister Huang and Prince Xuanfeng could give him a complete family, they would not be able to give him a stable life, so he sometimes disturbed.
Especially in the early years, Qi Jing himself hadn't escaped the fate of being poisoned to death in his previous life, and he didn't even know where he could go or how long he would live in this life.
Although he could guarantee that he would be good to Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Akabane, he couldn't guarantee that everyone, including himself, could live in peace and stability.
In a sense, the danger he faced was actually the same as that faced by Prince Xuanfeng and his wife - they were both precarious people.
It's just that Qi Rong and Chen Xuanfeng had already planned to put all their eggs in one basket at that time, and if they failed, they would be benevolent, while Qi Jing still had a way of giving up his title and fief to save his life, so it seemed that there was more hope.
The emperor of Jingzhou was not in good health, otherwise he would not have had only one heir who had awakened his martial arts for so many years.
Now that the suspicious emperor of Jingzhou has no heir of his own blood, there are not many choices before him.
……
For the sake of little Akabane, Qi Jing had to carefully consider various situations that may happen in Jingzhou's future.
He could only discuss it with Shaoxuan who knew the identity of his nephew: "Either he adopts the heir of other princes who awakened Shenwu and takes him with him as the heir to be raised as the heir, so that he will have an inheritance in name...just in this way, within a few years, oh No, maybe within a year, the power will no longer be in the hands of the emperor himself."
As a member of the royal family, one would have thoughts about the throne to some extent, but most people would not express it easily—after all, the person who first showed his ambition was obviously the easiest person to become a target.
Unlike Liu Yu, who was the regent who unified the military and government, and who was truly one person under ten thousand people, the princes guarding the various realms in Jingzhou have equal power, so the chance of rebelling alone is very small.
For the princes of Jingzhou, it may be easier for the princes of Jingzhou to realize the wish hidden in their hearts if their heirs are adopted by the emperor and they themselves will be the emperor in the future.
The emperor of Jingzhou chose the crown prince. How could the forces behind the crown prince tolerate the person who was destined to become the "first emperor" to continue dictating on him?
Qi Jing didn't know what the current situation of the Emperor Jingzhou was, but no matter how long his body could last, it can be said that once he selected a nephew to adopt, the status of the emperor would change greatly.
Those who were originally loyal to him, because they could not see the future, I am afraid that many of them would immediately switch to the new owner.
And the former Ninth Five-Year Lord may even become an abandoned child, and may not even be able to save his own life.
Qi Jing didn't think that the emperor of Jingzhou would choose this path, this path of handing everything over to others and letting others slaughter him, so he should be more likely to make another choice.
"Of course, he can also appoint the emperor's younger brother and choose Prince Xuanfeng as his successor."
Although Prince Xuanfeng has no heirs yet, his concubine was once pregnant, but the child died due to an accident.
This at least shows that the prince himself can have heirs.
From the perspective of outsiders, Prince Xuanfeng may have been out of the psychology of compensating the princess in the past few years, and at the same time, he also wanted to explain to Qingzhou, the Yue family. Na concubine.
If Prince Xuanfeng is really established as the emperor's younger brother, even if Qingzhou is by his side, it will not be able to prevent Prince Xuanfeng from accepting a side concubine again.
Because Qi Rong is a princess from a foreign country, in order to ensure the blood of Jingzhou's royal family, she will no longer be suitable for bearing children for Jingzhou's future master.
"You're worried, they're going to take him back." Shao Xuan looked at Qi Jing who was frowning tightly, and asked.
Qi Jing nodded: "At the beginning, the reason why the imperial sister and Prince Xuanfeng handed over their son to me was because they were worried that it would be dangerous to go back and fight for the throne. Now that the emperor is weak, if Prince Xuanfeng has an ancestor who returns the soul How do you think the clan and court of Jingzhou will make a choice when your son appears in front of people?"
Qi Jing has met Prince Xuanfeng, and also knows that the two of them have a strong relationship, and there is little Chiyu. From the perspective of outsiders, the conflict between them about their children does not exist at all.
Because the eldest son's ancestor returned to the soul, it can fully prove the child's Qingzhou blood.
All the countries in Kyushu have not had their ancestors returning to the soul for several generations. The new emperor of Jizhou, Liu Yu, is the ancestor returning to the soul. Since he ascended the throne, he has indeed reversed the decline of Jizhou very quickly. This is something everyone has seen.
Even though it may have nothing to do with his ancestor's returning soul status, but the influence of the legend is to believe it or not. As long as Liu Yu is still there, his influence will inevitably exist.
Although Jingzhou has not experienced the ups and downs of Jizhou changing four emperors in recent decades, it has also experienced the years of frequent maritime incidents.
Many clan relatives and officials of the imperial court knew clearly: Although Jingzhou is currently stable, as long as one is not careful, it may take the old road of Jizhou or Qingzhou, and people have to guard against it.
Qi Jing believes that as long as Xiao Chiyu is exposed to the public as the soul of the ancestor, at least those who support orthodoxy will immediately surround Prince Xuanfeng. In addition, the forces that Chen Xuanfeng has cultivated secretly in the past few years should not be underestimated.
At that time, it may no longer be a question of whether the emperor chooses to adopt or establish the emperor's younger brother, but a question of whether he should abdicate obediently and let the virtuous.
Qi Rong and Chen Xuanfeng hid for a long time in front of the emperor of Jingzhou and the people of the world. The opportunity they desperately wanted was right in front of them!
In public, Prince Xuanfeng and his wife can use their son's identity as the ancestor's return soul to gain the support of everyone in one fell swoop; in private, they can finally reunite as a family.
Qi Jing couldn't think of any reason to stop the Huangjie and his wife from taking Xiao Chiyu away.
——It’s true that he and Xiaoshi have been with Xiao Akabane for three years, but they are just uncles, so they can’t compare to the child’s parents...
……
With such thoughts, it is difficult for Qi Jing to look at Xiao Akabane with a normal heart.
He wished he could give him the best he could give immediately.
Soon, Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Akabane discovered that their brother (uncle) had recently become very talkative.
They want to eat pastries, want new toys, and want to go out in winter to value the nine piles of snowmen... As long as the request is not excessive and will not hurt them, Qi Jing will agree to everything.
At this time, there was another heavy snowfall in Laiyiwei.
After the snow stopped, Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Akabane coquettishly wanted to go out to see the snow scene. Qi Jing, who might have reasoned with them in the past, had no intention of refusing at all.
He personally led Xiao Shiyi, who was wrapped into a ball, and Xiao Akabane, who was just a ball in his arms, and walked slowly along the corridor towards the lake.
While walking, Qi Jing suddenly said: "I heard that in the south of Jingzhou, some places don't snow even in the coldest time, so people can play outside all year round. How nice it is."
Hearing his brother's sudden words, Xiao Shiyi raised his head curiously like Xiao Chiyu, wanting to hear Qi Jing continue.
But Qi Jing didn't say anything more, he just sighed silently in his heart: But without Dongxue, it seems that there is no fun of roasting sweet potatoes around the oven. I don't know if Qiuqiu can adapt to it.
In this way, Qi Jing, with apprehension and anxiety, tried every means to accompany Xiao Chiyu to enjoy every day in Qingzhou... I don't know how much time is left every day.
However, until they returned to Tianjing after a year and then returned to Laiyiwei, another year of spring and flowers blooming, and the news that the emperor of Jingzhou wanted to enshrine the emperor's younger brother also reached Qingzhou, Qi Rong and Chen Xuanfeng still didn't ask for it. Signs of coming to Qingzhou.
Previously, Qi Jing was afraid that they would be separated from Xiao Chiyu once the letter arrived, so he did not write to the imperial sister of Jingzhou for a long time.
But the other party has not sent any letter or person from Qingzhou for a long time, which is very strange to Qi Jing.
Because of this, the big rock in his heart has been hanging there for several months. It is very dangerous to watch it dangle, but it is really uncomfortable if it does not fall.
Qi Jing was even a little skeptical: Sister Huang still remembers that she has a little baby, is she staying with him?
For Qingzhou, which has many children of the royal family, the conspiracy two years ago was a tragedy caused by too many people wanting to fight for the throne.However, Qingzhou's two neighbors with vast land and abundant resources are facing another dilemma.
