Sheng Shi Merciful Light

After Emperor Guangqi fell from his horse and became paralyzed, he couldn't find out that it was man-made, so he treated it as an accident.At the age of eighty, the Taihuang Taiwei once again hung the curtain, helping Emperor Guangqi to keep the throne, and at the same time ordered the imperial physician to recuperate Emperor Guangqi's body.

Cui Zhongnian never told anyone in his life: Emperor Guangqi has actually improved a bit, he has recovered a little feeling in his waist and legs.

Unfortunately, no one would give Emperor Guangqi enough time to wait patiently for him to recover.

In the fifth year of Guangqi, two years after Emperor Guangqi was paralyzed, Cui Zhongnian was promoted to be an envoy because of his meticulous care of Emperor Guangqi, but he ran into the "Five Kings Rebellion" head-on.Because Emperor Guangqi's two youngest sons died early and there was no heir, his remaining five direct descendants of Emperor Guangqi competed for the throne.

The "Five Kings Rebellion" is a hideous scar in the history of the Daxing Dynasty, which has always emphasized gentle governance and peacefully changed imperial power.

Emperor Guangqi had no son, so he could have been adopted from the imperial clan, but he did not have enough strong and loyal assistants—the Empress Dowager Li died early, and the Empress Dowager Kou could not be trusted, and she was sick and indifferent; Very young, although talented and learned, he can't convince the public, and he doesn't have the background of Wei's money bag; the empress dowager Wei has prestige, but he is old after all.

Therefore, the minds of Emperor Guangqi's five direct descendants were fluctuating.

With Mu Chun's unlucky example first, Emperor Guangqi's younger brothers were divided into kings, and they were all peaceful, moderate, and idle kings.Each of them has cultivated very peaceful hobbies, and has considerable attainments in the fields of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, opera, song and Fu... Even if they have no attainments, their contributions are still great, such as promoting the prosperity and development of the collection market, and launching classic operas handed down from generation to generation , to make a famous actor or something.

In order to ensure the stability of the throne, Emperor Guangqi generously paid more money from the inner treasury and added more rewards.Support the younger brothers' various "noble" hobbies with practical actions, so that the younger brothers can't remember the size and model of the chair they are sitting on.

Emperor Guangqi said: We are not short of money, behind him is the "money bag" Wei family of Dongxing State Duke's Mansion.After decades of accumulation, the internal treasury is enough to buy all the surrounding countries.

However, Emperor Guangqi was paralyzed and had no heirs, so the minds of the five princes with direct bloodlines became active.

So what...they have taken a fancy to a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings recently, but money is tight. Although the rewards from the inner treasury have not been reduced, but...it is embarrassing to ask for money every time. It's convenient to get up.

The heirs to the throne, they all have a share.

Gradually, the battle for the throne among the five kings turned into a bloody and brutal melee that had never been seen in the history of Daxing, and the ministers were forced to stand in line as a result.

What's more, it's still a chaotic battle, with no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, whoever gets married today may turn against each other tomorrow...

It was as if there was a hand behind the scenes stirring up the muddy water.

The Empress Dowager Wei's family scouted out the people behind the scenes and vigorously suppressed the competition, so as not to disturb the people's livelihood and shake the foundation of the country.

The chaos of the five kings vying for the throne made Wei very uncomfortable.

The Daxing Dynasty is not like the braided Dynasty of Huaguo. When the imperial power changes, bloodshed is rare. After all, everyone is a civilized person who has been educated by Confucian virtues.But Wei Shi also knows that she is old, people can't fight against time, she can't keep Emperor Guangqi, she can only try her best to control the generals, so that the frontier troops don't dare to act rashly, so that it didn't turn into a domestic civil war, called "Northwest" Neighbors benefit.

In order to put an end to the chaos, the Wei family went against all opinions and appointed Mu Yu, the fourth son of the Yonghe Emperor, as the emperor's younger brother, because he was the most legitimate - the eldest younger brother of the Yuan Zong, and he had always had a good reputation.

The most wonderful thing is that Mu Yu's concubine coincidentally is Xiaowei, the grand-niece of Wei Shi.

It's a pity that all the arrangements have not yet been implemented, and the empress dowager Wei suffered a stroke due to overwork and was paralyzed, unable to move or speak.

The two big bosses fell, and Mu Yu became the target, and the situation became even more chaotic... Cui Zhongnian had encountered several kinds of poisons, those that were harmful to Emperor Guangqi, those that were harmful to Emperor Taiwei, and even more those that harmed the Emperor. He quietly resolved his brother's problems, and also quietly changed a few bad meals in the palace.Accompanied by Cui Zhongnian's food and drug-related restraint and his level of defense against poison, his parents, wives and children died one after another.

Later, the fourth prince, Mu Yu, also vomited blood and died suddenly, which is not so strange in the royal family who died so suddenly.At the time of the "Five Kings Rebellion", everyone only celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and did not seriously investigate the cause of death.

The battles among the other prostitutes became even more intense, and the means became more and more limitless.Later, they were all dead, crazy, and all finished.The Mu clan has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a large number of children and grandchildren. However, in the "Five Kings Rebellion", many clans died because of standing in the wrong line.

Without a strong enough opponent, according to the rule of "no heir to establish an elder", ranking fifth, Mu Zhi, the concubine son of Emperor Yonghe's "true love" concubine Luo Shi, became the longest prince and automatically won.A vivid interpretation of what is called "crane and clam fight, fisherman wins".

It was the empress dowager Wei who personally called Mu Zhi back from the border—because Mu Zhi was very good, he didn't get involved in the Five Kings' Rebellion, and he helped Wei's suppress the frontier army from participating in the succession, and stabilized the border defense line. The enemy country is advancing.

As expected of Mu Chun's younger brother, he has a noble character and has the righteousness of the country in his heart, so he was made the emperor's younger brother.

In the fifth year of Guangqi, when Mu Zhi was named the emperor's younger brother, people realized that in the end of the five kings' struggle, only Mu Wei and his good friend Mu Feiming got the most benefits.

Mu Feiming is King Ding, the father of Princess Chaoyang. His ancestor was King Min who was once the crown prince. King Min died in the flames of war and left an only son who was passed down for five generations. A small county king offshoot of the royal family.Mu Feiming joined the army since he was a child, and with his good marksmanship and military strategy, he won the title of the youngest generation of God of War in the army system.

Ma Dan, these two guys have fooled everyone—they have been disobedient in the Northwest Frontier Army for more than ten years, so they are totally incompatible, right?With Mu Feiming restraining Mu Zhi, Wei Shi can rest assured.

The results of it?

As soon as Mu Zhi became the emperor's younger brother, Mu Feiming was the first to stand behind him and became Mu Zhi's number one gold medal fighter. Don't cooperate too tacitly.

The Empress Dowager Wei has many years of experience in court struggles, and she became suspicious. Although she could not move while lying down, she still had a huge power. She found someone to investigate Mu Zhi secretly, and found out that the concubine fifth prince had died more than ten years ago. At the beginning of the layout at the border, there are even many forces belonging to Mu Zhi in Tianjing City, and there are even Mu Zhi and Mu Feiming in the "Five Kings Rebellion".

The person who is best at forbearance is indeed the scariest.

Unfortunately, there is no direct evidence.

The empress dowager asked the most trusted imperial physician, Cui Zhongnian, to identify several types of poisons that would kill and drive the royal princes mad... But Cui Zhongnian hadn't finished researching all of them (meow, he's playing medicinal food, not the Five Poisons Sect) ).

Wei Shi took another step slowly.

The emperor's younger brothers Mu Zhi and Mu Feiming immediately gathered most of the forces at the speed of light.

They are very smart, and they don't bother to care whether the officials in the court are surrendering or not-what is there to be afraid of a group of literati?They immediately replaced all the generals, installed their confidantes, and controlled the more than 20 imperial guards guarding the imperial city in Beijing under their own hands.The four major military families in Northwest China, Duke Zhenbei, Duke Xingguo, Marquis Weiyuan, and Marquis Yongning all expressed their surrender.

So far, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops across the country are all in the hands of the emperor's younger brother.

The ministers: "..."

As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one. Such a quick command of the country's armed forces, this emperor's younger brother has been dormant for at least ten years and has not been noticed by others. He is definitely not gentle and harmless on the surface.

Truth is always within the range of the bow and arrow.

The imperial palace's imperial guards were also replaced in an instant, and the emperor's younger brother Mu Zhi became the actual controller of the imperial palace.

Wei Shi watched helplessly as his confidantes were dragged away one by one and never came back.

Then, Mu Zhi showed her dozens of impeachment memorials, all of which reported various crimes against the Duke of Dongxing, and some even reported that the Wei government had asked the weaver in his house to rush to make a dragon robe for women—Wei’s He Dongxing Guogong Mansion, if you want to follow the example of Fengtian Nvdi to ascend the throne, and change the sky and change the moon, you must have the heart of disobedience.

Wei Shi: "..." You are the one who has the heart of disobedience.

But what can be done?She was already lying on the ground unable to move, all hands were emptied, and people used knives and me as fish.So when Mu Zhi immediately took out the edict of Guangqi Emperor Mu Jing's Zen enthronement, which was stamped with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Wei couldn't speak, and chose not to nod...but he didn't shake his head either.

She was afraid, afraid that the next edict would not be a Zen seat, but the "legacy" edict of Emperor Guangqi...

Mu Zhi immediately found Wei's phoenix seal and stamped it himself.

Wei Shi: "..." Is this how the seal of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom came about?

Mu Zhi ascended the throne in a high-profile manner. For the convenience of avoiding taboos, the emperor's name was usually given way to literati. He changed his name to Mu Yu and became Zhenzong.

Cui Zhongnian was dispatched by the heavenly emperor Muyu to recuperate the body of the Empress Dowager Wei and ensure that she would not die so easily.

However, the turmoil did not subside, and more people reported the rebellion of Dongxing Guogong, saying that Dongxing Guogong was instigated by the Taihuang Taiwei, causing Emperor Guangqi to fall from his horse, and poisoning other sons. "Edict of Emperor Guangqi's Zen position", but the target of the imperial edict's Zen position is Taihuang Taiwei's family.

Another female official of the Wei family who had served for more than 60 years turned around and acted as a tainted witness, saying that the Wei family really wanted to follow the example of the Fengtian empress and become the queen.

There was a great uproar in the court, and Empress Fengtian's ascension to the throne happened in Dayun, the former dynasty.It once set off a bloody storm across the country. At that time, Empress Fengtian almost wiped out all the children of the Dayun royal family. All her own sons were killed by her own hands.In the end, it was Empress Fengtian who died of old age, and a county king from a side branch of Dayun launched a crusade to restore orthodoxy, but the country also declined and was replaced by Dazhou.

This is more sensitive to the nerves of the man in Yichaotang than Mu Yu's inexplicable accession to the throne.

It was the heaven-sent emperor, Mu Yu, who was emotional and reasonable, and defended Wei Shi to keep her fame for the first time.Moreover, Wei Shi had suffered a stroke, no matter how lofty his ambitions were, he could only get down on the ground, and only then did the officials completely relax.Everyone thought to themselves: Although the new emperor's ascension to the throne is a little bit sudden, and the name is not right, it is better than being an empress.

In this way, Mu Yu secured the throne under the tacit compromise of everyone.

Wei Shi: "..." She has lived a life of ups and downs in politics, so she naturally understands how the Zen Edict granted by the Emperor and the "Zen Edict" that framed her came about.

Emperor Tianshou is too dark-bellied.

Wei Shi compromised, thinking that this would stop the fighting, otherwise what should we do?Could it be that two empress dowagers who were lying on the bed and couldn't even turn over, and a elder brother, what else could they do?

But Mu Yu didn't intend to let Wei's natal family go, and it was also her biggest reliance on the Duke of Dongxing's mansion.

Meow meow, your family is so rich, this power is not used by me, and it adds chaos to me, and almost prevents me from being able to ascend the throne. What is it if it is not a "heart of disobedience"?

And... the inside story of Wei Shi's poisoning of his elder brother Mu Chun was provided by the Duke of Dongxing! !
