I was a princess in ancient times

Those who supported King Li knew that they could not compete for King Jia in the palace, and they were unwilling to lose the throne, so they left the palace overnight and rushed to Chang'an.

As long as he could seize control of Chang'an before King Jia, he would be recognized by the people of Chang'an by virtue of his status as the eldest son of King Li.

Because they wanted to compete with King Jia for time, and they couldn't be stopped by the Jinwu guards who had fallen to King Jia, the people who supported King Li fled the Lieshan Palace in a hurry, and even the queen walked on a horse, and the courtiers would not be able to bring them along. The family members who left stayed in the Hunting Mountain Palace.

Now the two sides look at each other from a distance.

King Jia rode his horse and stood in front of the mighty team. Behind him were not only the clan, nobles, courtiers and Jin Wuwei, but also countless carriages.

King Li also rode his horse at the front, but he was exhausted and unable to cheer up.

He, the courtiers and guards behind him were turned away by Rong Guang who was guarding Chang'an. For many days, he showed affection and moved him with reason, and even threats failed to impress Rong Guang.

At the beginning, the spirit of rushing back to Chang'an from the palace overnight was exhausted, and he was completely unable to compare with the spirit of the people behind King Jia who were getting more and more excited the closer they were to Chang'an.

No need for anyone to speak, everyone present understood that this round was again King Jia's victory, and King Li's defeat.

In just a few days, Jiang Taishi, who was much older, withdrew his gaze from looking at King Jia and looked at King Li, "Your Majesty? The sage is back."

Li Wang, who always looked down with a sluggish face, silently clenched his hand holding the rein, and did not respond to Jiang Taishi for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Grand Master Jiang spoke again, the reminder turned into a urging.

The fear in King Li's eyes was even more obvious, but he didn't dare to continue to ignore Grand Master Jiang. He closed his eyes fiercely, and suddenly fell off the horse.

"Your Majesty?!"

The people behind King Li exclaimed one after another, and they all got off their horses to check on King Li's situation.

The people behind King Jia also showed surprise, King Li had better not have an accident at this juncture, otherwise it would not be good for King Jia's reputation.

Sikong rode his horse slowly until he was only half a horse away from King Jia's horse, "Your Majesty, ask the imperial physician to show King Li?"

Emperor Yanguang only started to kill his brothers when he was firmly seated on the throne. King Jia didn't even enter Chang'an now, and the momentum of the rivalry between King Li and King Jia was so obvious. Innocent people will inevitably be punished verbally and in writing.

King Jia nodded kindly, "Song Nian, go..."

Before he finished speaking, King Li who was surrounded by many people not far away suddenly got up from the ground, pushed away the people around him, and staggered towards King Jia.

King Jia raised his eyebrows, got off his horse and strode forward, "Brother Li?"

King Li passed by King Jia and went straight to Emperor Yanguang's coffin, his voice was hoarse and sad, and every word seemed to drip blood, "Aye, I'm here to accompany you!"

King Jia's gaze followed King Li's figure and turned around. He slowly straightened the folds of his wide sleeves and put his hands together.

When Li Wang was three steps away from the coffin, he was stopped by the expressionless Mo Yao.

The anger on Mo Yao's face was so obvious for the first time, and he said firmly, "Don't dirty the saint's coffin."

Real hatred appeared in the empty red eyes of King Li, and he shouted hoarsely, "I am Aye's son, Aye's eldest son!"

When everyone said that he would inherit the throne, King Li couldn't believe it.

Now it is almost certain that the person who will inherit the throne will be King Jia, but King Li feels a bone-like pain because of this.

It should be his stuff, his!

Why did King Jia take away his things!

The anger in Mo Yao's eyes, King Li's hatred was still intense, and he said in a deep voice, "But you are not a rooster."

Blood-stained coffin, unless it is rooster blood.

Obviously, King Li is not a big cock.

"You actually compare me with a beast?"

The successive setbacks in the past few days almost completely crushed King Li. Mo Yao's contempt and insult became the last straw that broke the camel's back. King Li closed his eyes and sat down softly.

Mo Yao breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and immediately let go of the hand that was holding King Li's shoulder, and took two steps back one after another.

The courtiers who witnessed this farce looked at each other with embarrassment.

How would they behave in this situation...

Rebuke King Li angrily?

They are going to commit suicide to accompany Emperor Yanguang. If King Li wakes up and hears their cynicism and wants to commit suicide again, they cannot bear the reputation of forcing the prince to death.

Blame Mo Yao for making King Li faint?

But Mo Yao stopped King Li who was about to hit Emperor Yanguang's coffin because of his credit. Although what he said to King Li was harsh, it was also true.

If King Li bumped into the coffin, not to mention whether King Li would die, the blood on the coffin would also give King Jia a headache.

After careful consideration, the courtiers recalled the miserable appearance of Monk Yuanming being tortured by the Jinwu Guards, and they all chose to look at the sky and the earth, pretending not to see King Li who was thrown to the ground by Mo Yao.

"You just let Mo Yao bully the late emperor's parents and sons like this? If you cultivate his disdainful personality, how will you control him when he doesn't pay attention to you?" Jiang Taishi ran after King Li but stopped at Jia Wang side.

King Jia showed a smile on his face, "The Grand Master speaks seriously. Brother Xie is the adopted son of the late Emperor. Now that the late Emperor is not here. As the elder brother, he sees his younger brothers behave inappropriately. It is an act of loyalty and filial piety to stop them. Why bother to say 'deception' Character?"

When Jiang Taishi heard this, the obscurity in his eyes became more intense.

He didn't know that there was such a capable person beside King Jia!

If King Li could not ascend the throne, King Li would only be proud of his status as the eldest son. When necessary, he could use his status as the 'eldest brother' to check and balance King Jia.

Unexpectedly, the 'eldest brother' became Mo Yao after just missing the Lieshan Palace for a few days.

After the imperial physician diagnosed and treated the fainted King Li, he immediately reported to King Jia about King Li's situation.

King Li fainted because of depression and anger. The imperial doctor had already administered needles to King Li, so that King Li could sleep soundly.

"Your Majesty, you have been delayed here for a long time. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you will delay the auspicious time to stop the spirit." Prince Qinghe said with a sullen face.

"But Brother Li..." King Jia showed hesitation.

Sikong suggested, "It's better to ask the Empress and Grand Master Jiang to take care of King Li here, and bring King Li back to Chang'an after King Li wakes up."

Grand Master Jiang looked at King Jia with many hostile gazes, only bent down, and when he raised his head again, there were tears in his eyes, "Li Wang didn't want to see the late emperor returning to Chang'an, so he returned to Chang'an in advance to report the letter." , and therefore missed the time for the coffin to wake up, and must not miss the coffin stop again, please take pity on King Li's filial piety, don't let him go into the horns again, and give birth to the idea of ​​leaving with the saint."

King Jia's smile didn't reach his eyes, he raised his hand to support Jiang Taishi's arm, "In that case, please trouble Jiang's cousin to participate in the coercion behind Li Wang's back."

"Your Majesty is wise." Taishi Jiang nodded repeatedly.

When Empress Jiang heard Jiang Taishi calling King Jia "Your Majesty", she knew that the ownership of the throne had been settled, and her unwillingness and resentment were no less than that of King Li.

Without the throne, what is the point of her suffering all these years?

Why not go with her poor child back then!

As much pain as she felt in her heart, Empress Jiang's expression was as loving as ever. She and Queen Jia's benevolent son filially greeted and cared for each other, and walked dignifiedly and calmly to the carriage that King Jia had vacated for her under the eyes of many peeping eyes.

She must not fall down easily. If she falls down now, she will have nothing at all.

The originally opposing sides gradually merged into one and moved towards Chang'an City again.

A group of people arrived at the city of Chang'an just at noon.

Rong Guang had already led the Gyeonggi garrison and courtiers in Chang'an City to greet them out of the city. When they saw the supporting spirit team from a distance, they knelt down and said they were welcoming the saints.

King Jia rode in the lead, with just the right amount of sadness on his face, "Misters, please, Aye has been in the Lieshan Palace for three days, and he will be in the Chang'an Palace for 49 days. You still have time to say goodbye to Aye. .”

Rong Guang looked up at King Jia, choked up and said, "I see Your Majesty."

King Jia looked down upon everyone kneeling on the ground.

After Rong Guang said to His Majesty, Binzhou Wei, Huazhou Wei and Qizhou Wei, who had been secretly listening to his orders for a long time, immediately repeated Rong Guang's words. After passing the figures of Jiang Taishi and Bai Qianli, he had no choice but to call out to His Majesty with the generals.

King Liluo of Qinghe County got off his horse and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne as soon as possible."

The rest of the people behind King Jia got off their horses and knelt down one after another, repeating what King Qinghe said, even Grand Master Jiang was no exception.

Taishi Jiang knew very well in his heart that ever since Mo Yao stood on King Jia's side, the throne had almost been settled. He was not willing to waste years of hard work, nor could he just watch the courtiers who had finally won over turn their backs. That's why he brought King Li and The courtiers rushed towards Chang'an.

After coming to the city of Chang'an, it happened to be the situation that Jiang Taishi didn't want to see the last time.

Rong Guang, who was guarding the city, refused to let King Li and Queen enter Chang'an on the grounds that he had not seen Mo Yao's token.

At that time, Grand Master Jiang knew that King Li had lost completely.

He watched coldly the people who were still unwilling to be reconciled to Rong Guang on the city wall, using all kinds of means to try to lure the guards of the capital, knowing that it would not have any effect but did not stop it.

The more you work hard but the things you can't get, the more difficult it is to give up. The more these people work hard for King Li today, the more unwilling they will be when King Jia ascends the throne in the future. It can also prevent these people from seeing Li. A king cannot ascend the throne and immediately betray him.

Hearing that the people from the Lieshan Palace were on their way back to Chang'an, Grand Master Jiang immediately told King Li the way to minimize the loss.

If you miss the lifting of the coffin, you must never miss the coffin and enter Chang'an again. You would rather seek death and work than tear off the label of "unfilial piety" on your body.

Jiang Taishi did not tell King Li that if King Li followed his orders, he would be farther and farther away from the throne. It is impossible for the courtiers to want an emperor who may be looking for death and life at any time.

Since King Li has been unable to ascend the throne, Jiang Taishi can only hope that those who can ascend the throne will not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

As long as the ruler is weak and the subjects are strong, it doesn't matter if the person on the throne is not King Li.

King Jia could rely on military generals to ascend the throne, but he could not rely on military generals to govern.

Jiang Taishi had the same idea as Sikong's people. He didn't believe that King Jia would be able to accommodate Mo Yao after he ascended the throne. As long as Mo Yao fell, the Jinwu Guard would reshuffle the cards.

How can we say for sure what will happen in the future?

King Jia once again used the reason that his father had not yet settled down and had no intention of ascending the throne, and did not respond to everyone's request for him to ascend the throne immediately. He carried the coffin into Chang'an first, and sent Emperor Yanguang's coffin to the special hall in the palace.

It is impossible for an emperor to die for only three days. According to the old practice, the coffin of Emperor Yanguang must stay in the Chang'an Palace for at least 49 days, and then be buried in the imperial mausoleum that has been built for many years.

Ji Xinxue and the others didn't have to go back to Prince Jia's Mansion, they directly entered the palace with the coffin, and were then taken to Defei Palace.

After returning to the place where she had only lived for more than half a month, Ji Xinxue actually had the illusion of going home.

No matter how excited his spirit was, his body was in a state of extreme exhaustion, and he fell asleep not long after.

When Ji Xinxue woke up again, it was already the next day, and Qingyun and Caishi who had stayed in Chang'an all along were by his side.

"What time is it?" Ji Xinxue made a dry voice with difficulty.

Caishi held warm water and handed it to Ji Xinxue's mouth, "After Chenshi, Sishi will be here soon."

Ji Xinxue blinked blankly, he lay down almost at Shen Shi, and now at Si Shi... Didn't he sleep for at least nine hours, almost ten hours?

"Over there in the mourning hall..."

Before Ji Xinxue finished speaking, Qingyun said, "Don't worry, Song Nian Neijian has visited you, so that you can recover from your illness with peace of mind, and you don't have to cry for Emperor Daxing."

"Did Songnian say when Aye..." Ji Xinxue raised her finger and pointed upwards.

Yu Chao has always had the tradition of the new emperor enthroning before the spirit, and now that even the Jiang family has recognized the identity of King Jia, there is no resistance for King Jia to ascend the throne.

He would rather go to Emperor Yanguang's weeping spirit than participate in King Jia's enthronement ceremony.

Qingyun and Caishi shook their heads at the same time, the eagerness on their faces was no less than that of Ji Xinxue.

In the next few days, Ji Xinxue recuperated in the Defei Palace without leaving the house.

On the third day, Yu Heng found some spare time to visit Ji Xinxue, and brought the latest news to Ji Xinxue.

After returning to the Chang'an Palace, Empress Jiang stayed up with Emperor Yanguang in the mourning hall day and night as the empress of the palace, and only left temporarily when eating and changing clothes.Concubine De didn't want to lose to Empress Jiang on this point, so she accompanied Empress Jiang to persevere.

Even though the two most honorable people in Emperor Yanguang's harem were suffering like this, the others did not dare to slack off.

Except for Concubine Xian and Concubine Su who rest occasionally, the other concubines can only stay in the mourning hall day and night.

The clan and family looked at the concubines with tears in their eyes. Only the senior and senior princesses of Qinghe County and Xinyang County dared to rest, and the senior but young people like the Princess of Cheng'an had to suffer.

Whenever she dozed off in the mourning hall, the princess of Cheng'an County secretly regretted that she should not have run so fast when she was hunted down by assassins in the Hunting Mountain Palace. The Lord recuperates in peace of mind, so there is no need to come to the mourning hall to suffer this crime.

This is still the case for the inner women, and the outer women have no retreat at all.

Fortunately, the Chang'an Imperial Palace has far more supplies than the Xinggong Palace, and the Imperial Hospital sent nourishing decoctions to the mourning hall non-stop every day, so no one was overwhelmed for the time being.

When the Queen and Concubine De lead the wives to involve wildly, this situation inevitably happened in the previous dynasty.

The first to bear the brunt were the queen's adopted son, King Li, his family, and the queen's own daughter, Princess Dekang.

These people, like the queen, wished they could even eat, drink, and drink in the mourning hall, and they were about to engrave the word "filial son" on their foreheads.

King Jia was busy taking over the palace, checking whether Emperor Yanguang and the Jiang family had dug a hole for him, and only appeared in the mourning hall at a fixed time every day, while the rest of Prince Jia's mansion had to fight to the end with the people from King Li and Princess Dekang's mansion .

From the oldest, Ji Minyan, to the youngest, Ji Baoshan, they never went back to Concubine De's palace. Occasionally when they couldn't bear it, they would temporarily leave the mourning hall and rest in the palace near the mourning hall, so that they could return to the mourning hall at any time.

Ji Xinxue was dumbfounded listening to Yu Heng's description of the tragic situation in the mourning hall, and said with a complicated face, "Is it a blessing in disguise now?"

Yu Heng patted Ji Xinxue's hand lightly, and lightly reprimanded, "For what?"

Ji Xinxue knew she was wrong, put her palms together and bowed to Yu Heng, and immediately changed the subject, "Aye, why don't you...? There's nothing wrong, right?"

It is understandable that he refused to ascend the throne when he was in the palace, maybe he was afraid that King Li and the Jiang family would act as demons.

It was understandable not to ascend the throne when I first returned to Chang'an, but the more modest and prudent I had to be when the goal was only half a step away.

It has been three days since he returned to Chang'an, King Jia still refused to ascend the throne, Ji Xinxue really had no choice but to be in a hurry.

Could it be that King Jia is planning to wait until Emperor Yanguang's official burial for 49 days before ascending the throne? Isn't it afraid that the news of Emperor Yanguang's death has already spread all over the place but there is no news of the new emperor's enthronement, and the hearts of the people everywhere will be unstable?

After Yu Heng returned to Chang'an, he was carried by King Jia. He did know a lot of news that others didn't know. He explained to Ji Xinxue, "Your Majesty is looking for the documents sent back to Chang'an by the governor's mansions from all over the world. will be enthroned."

Ji Xinxue nodded like a chicken pecking rice, as long as there is no problem with King Jia's throne, it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a few days.

Ji Xinxue heaved a sigh of relief when he finally heard a reliable answer after wondering about the reason for King Jia's refusal to ascend the throne for a long time, and he also had the mind to think about other things.

"After Aye ascends the throne, will you return the title owed to you by the late emperor?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng with a straight face. Although he didn't go out, the news was not blocked. He had already heard that the king of Xiaojun had wooed Rong Guang for the new emperor. rumors.Before Yu Heng could answer his question, Ji Xinxue asked aggressively, "What's going on with Rong Guang, why have you never told me?"

Yu Heng first explained why he didn't tell Ji Xinxue about this, "On the second night after the late emperor's death, after King Li and Jiang's family left the palace, Song Nian came to me and asked me to win over Rong Chong on behalf of His Majesty and promise the Rong family benefits. , ordered Rong Guang to keep King Li and Jiang’s family outside Chang’an City. The next day I didn’t find a good time to talk to you about it alone, and then…”

Seeing Yu Heng's complexion gradually becoming serious, Ji Xinxue revealed an innocent face.

He didn't expect that saying this would also remind Yu Heng of his assassination in the Hunting Mountain Palace.

"And then? What did Rong Chong say? Ji Xinxue couldn't wait to ask, not giving Yu Heng any chance to settle the old score.

Yu Heng paused before continuing, "Rong Chong rushed back to Chang'an day and night with the purple jade butterflies that His Majesty gave me, but Rong Guang refused to keep the Jiang family and the Queen outside Chang'an City, but knelt down to welcome His Majesty into the city."

But Rong Guang did not return him the purple jade butterfly that had been a token of the oral marriage contract. When he asked Rong Guang, Rong Guang said that he had returned the purple jade butterfly to His Majesty.

Yu Heng didn't want to talk more about Ziyu Butterfly, and instead brought up Ji Xinxue's question just now, with a smile finally on his face, "I don't know when His Majesty will ask the Ministry of Rites to give me a title, but I know His Majesty is doing it for the prince. Choose fiefs and titles with the princesses."

A light flashed in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

He has been thinking about his life in the palace of the imperial concubine for the past few days. After thinking about the future, there are King Li and the Jiang family who are eyeing him, and Mo Yao who is like a ticking time bomb. He probably has no way to restore his gender for the time being. Continue to be raised as a girl.

It's not that he has no other way to go, such as feigning death and leaving for a few years before returning, but he is reluctant to be bound by his relatives.

Why is he obviously the biological son of Aye and Aniang, the grandson of Grandma, and the blood-linked brother of brothers and sisters, but he has to change his face and be a substitute, so that he can exist like a "adopted son"?

Rather than that, it is better to maintain the status quo for the time being.

Regardless of whether he is a prince or a princess, being able to change his title and have a chance to obtain a fief is the real benefit!

Ji Xinxue had long since had enough of his title of County Head.

"Do you know what titles Aye has drawn up for us?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng eagerly.

Yu Heng shook his head. When he went to ask to see King Jia, he happened to see King Jia drawing a pen to circle the place on the map, and only then did he know that King Jia was considering the titles for the princes and princesses.

After finishing the business, King Jia drove him away without giving him a chance to continue watching.

"It seems that they are all in Guannei Road?" Yu Heng tried his best to recall the scene he saw at that time, but only remembered that there were more than one circled positions in Guannei Road.

Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully. Guannei Road is above Gyeonggi-do, which is sanitation of Chang'an. It is one of the closest places to Gyeonggi. For places that surrender to foreign races, they are good places to choose fiefdoms and titles for royal princes and princesses.

I hope Aye can choose a nice title for him.

When it comes to choosing fiefs and titles for the princes and princesses, Ji Xinxue's sense of reality about King Jia's imminent enthronement gradually deepens, and she inevitably thinks of Mrs. Zhong who is still in the Qixia Courtyard of King Jia's Mansion, so she can't help asking Yu Heng, "Do you have any?" I heard how Aye will become a concubine?"

It stands to reason that the princess would be the empress, and Zheng Ruren who gave birth to Ji Jingrou and Xu Ruren who gave birth to Ji Baoshan would be the fourth concubine. After all, Mrs. Zhong had given birth, so no matter how unlucky she was, she would be a concubine. You can think about it.

But with what the concubine and Lady Zhong did... Ji Xinxue really couldn't guess what Wang Jia was thinking.

Yu Heng shook his head, although he could often see King Jia, but most of the time, King Jia happened to have something to tell him, or asked him to send a message to someone, and he would not tell him about these things.

Ji Xinxue showed regret but was not surprised, and sighed, "It would be great if my aunt could be a concubine."

As long as she can become a concubine and there is his 'daughter', even if she is grounded again, Mrs. Zhong will not be neglected by the palace people.

Qingyun hurried in from the outside, and before she could catch her breath, she couldn't wait to tell Ji Xinxue what she had just found out, "The queen reprimanded the princess in front of the clan women and courtiers' families, saying that the princess is too good to be a queen!"

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng looked at each other, poured a cup of tea for Qingyun himself, "Tell me slowly, what's going on, what did grandma say?"

It was only after Qingyun finished talking about the news that had already spread everywhere that Ji Xinxue understood what was going on.

Empress Jiang not only found fault with the concubine, but also picked up Zheng Ruren and Xu Ruren, and even Mrs. Zhong who was still in Prince Jia's mansion did not escape.

Concubine De intentionally protects the concubine Wang and the others, but she is naturally lower than the queen in terms of status. Even if her son is about to become the new emperor, it depends on Queen Jiang's face.

Moreover, Empress Jiang just made a good start, not the main combat power.

If a aunt like her spoke up, there would naturally be people who planned to send their daughters into the palace after King Jia ascended the throne, and were happy to suppress the old man in the new emperor's backyard in advance.

Although she had opinions on the princess, Ji Xinxue never thought about the possibility that the princess could not become a queen.

If the princess is not the queen, what about Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu and Ji Mingtong?

Even the concubine can't become the queen, wouldn't it be even worse for Mrs. Zhong, if she can't even get the concubine, she will definitely be overwhelmed by the noble ladies who will enter the palace in the future.

Although the queen is the concubine's aunt, the concubine is the concubine bestowed to King Jia by the previous emperor. According to the old rule, after the new emperor ascends the throne, the concubine of Qiandi will be appointed as the queen. There is no reason to change from King Jia... Wait!

Ji Xinxue suddenly thought of a more serious problem.

Except for the founding emperor, all the empresses of the Yu Dynasty were the original consorts of the emperor, and all the empress dowagers also changed from empress to empress dowager!

After Emperor Wuning came to the throne, he made his deceased husband his queen, and the rest were all concubines.

Before she died, she left a decree, naming Emperor Qianyuan's biological father as her successor, calling Emperor Qianyuan her legitimate youngest son.Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne with the decree of Emperor Wuning, and it was logical that his own father, who was already his successor, be made the queen mother.

Before his death, Emperor Qianyuan also followed the example of Emperor Wuning, leaving an imperial decree to enshrine the birth mother of King Fu as his successor.

Fu Wang took the throne for a short time, and then he became the empress dowager logically.Emperor Jianxing's biological mother died early, and he didn't care about the mother who served his younger brother. The queen mother also knew that King Fu's death had nothing to do with Emperor Jianxing, so she never wanted to disturb the wind and rain, and died of depression within a few years.

When Emperor Yanguang ascended the throne, his biological mother was also the empress of Emperor Jianxing, who became the new queen mother as it should be, but was soon driven mad by Emperor Yanguang.

Counting forward, it seems that both the emperor's aunt and biological mother are alive, but only the aunt is honored as the empress dowager, and the biological mother is only a concubine?

Ji Xinxue was afraid that he didn't care about the history of the previous dynasty and remembered the birth mother and aunt of the former emperor wrongly, so she asked Yu Heng for confirmation.

He leaned close to Yu Heng's ear, his voice was low and inaudible, "Has there been any empress dowagers in the previous dynasty?"

"What is the empress dowager of the two palaces?" Yu Heng was full of doubts.

When Ji Xinxue saw Yu Heng's bewildered reaction, he knew that he remembered correctly. There was no such thing as the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces in the previous dynasty. He gritted his teeth and said, "How do you think Aye will become the empress and grandma after he ascends the throne?"

"According to the old rules, the empress should be named empress dowager, and the concubine of virtue should be named empress dowager..." The confusion on Yu Heng's face turned into astonishment, he understood what Ji Xinxue just asked him about the meaning of 'empress dowager of the two palaces'.

"There has never been such a precedent since ancient times." Yu Heng gave a negative example for Ji Xinxue, "When Emperor Cheng ascended the throne in the previous dynasty, his aunt and biological mother were both alive at the same time. The trouble caused me to almost lose the throne. In the end, I only respected my biological mother as a concubine, and my aunt as an empress dowager, and after my aunt passed away, I respected my biological mother as an empress dowager again."

After hearing Yu Heng's words, Ji Xinxue became hopeful again, "You also said that Emperor Cheng wanted to abolish his aunt and reverence his biological mother to make such a big commotion. I'm talking about the empress dowagers of the two palaces. Your Majesty, the biological mother is called the Empress Dowager of the West Palace. You go and discuss this matter with Aye, and if Aye does not object, you go to Azu again."

As long as King Jia agrees, this matter can basically be accomplished.

The queen was born in Jiang's family, and the concubine De was basically without her natal family.

If people headed by Cui Taibao want to send someone to King Jia's harem, they definitely hope that someone can compete with Empress Jiang, and Concubine De is the best candidate.

Ji Xinxue was thinking about this matter, and was no longer in the mood to chat with Yu Heng about other things.

Knowing that Ji Xinxue was in a hurry, Yu Heng immediately went to Qingxin Palace where King Jia temporarily lived after leaving Defei's palace.

Recently, he often followed King Jia's side, and he didn't have to wait for the Jinwu Guard to notify him, so he could go to the door of Qingxin Palace's study room and wait for his summons.

The eunuch Liang, who was guarding the door of the study, said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is summoning all the ministers, please wait a moment."

Yu Heng nodded, recalling the benefits of Ji Xinxue and the various "empress dowagers" listed by him.

Suddenly there was a fierce quarrel in the study, accompanied by the sound of porcelain falling on the ground, and finally all turned into "Your Majesty is wise!" '

Not long after, the door of the study opened, and the courtiers who came out of the study had different expressions.

Some people's faces were full of indignation, some people's faces were sad, and more people's faces were extremely complicated.

Among the people who filed out, Yu Heng saw the Prince of Qinghe County, and cast a questioning look at the Prince of Qinghe County.

The prince of Qinghe County shook his head almost invisibly, and left with the courtiers.

Eunuch Liang has been serving Emperor Yanguang for many years, and he has long cultivated into a monster, and asked in a low voice, "Does the county king still want to see His Majesty?"

Yu Heng nodded without hesitation, "Please trouble the eunuch."

King Jia was about to ascend the throne at some point, the first imperial decree must honor the Empress Dowager, and only after that would he get the harem and the emperor's heirs.If King Jia is tempted by the 'Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces', he must make arrangements in advance, time is tight and there is no room for waste.

Eunuch Liang quickly withdrew from the study and saluted Yu Heng respectfully, "Prince, please."

There were only two people in the study, King Jia and Songnian, and there were fragments of porcelain that hadn't been cleaned up everywhere on the floor. King Jia was still wearing the prince's uniform, leaning lazily on the chair and beckoning to Yu Heng, "Come on, don't hurt your feet."

Yu Heng obediently walked in front of King Jia, "Your Majesty"

"Hmm..." King Jia smelled the familiar scent of incense, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you gone to visit Xiao Wu? How is he? His voice is better."

"Axue is in good spirits, and her voice will still be hoarse after talking for a long time." Distress appeared in Yu Heng's eyes.

You know that his voice will become hoarse when he talks for a long time, why do you let him talk for a long time?

King Jia stared deeply at Yu Heng, threw the only intact booklet on the table into Yu Heng's hand, and said concisely, "Look."

Yu Heng opened the memorial as he said, it was a military newspaper.

Nanzhao, who had surrendered to the Yu Dynasty in the past, rebelled, and a total of [-] prefectures rebelled from the Yu Dynasty, and once again regarded themselves as Nanzhao.

Yu Heng looked at the map on the wall. Although there were twenty prefectures, the area under their jurisdiction was about the same as that of the seven capitals captured by Mohe in the north.

Finally, the time when the memorial was issued... was actually a month ago.

At that time, Emperor Yanguang hadn't even left Chang'an to escape the summer heat, but he had never heard of such news.

King Jia twitched the corners of his mouth at Yu Heng's unconcealed shock, but his smile didn't reach his eyes, "Besides, I also found a report that Tubo cut off the connection inside and outside Yumen Pass, and Suzhou has been unable to receive news from the entire Longyou Road. The memorials and the memorials of the Turks imitating Mohe’s southward raids on the Guannei Road and the northern passes. The dates on the memorials were all before the death of the late emperor.”

Yu Heng thought for a while, and said sincerely, "Your Majesty is wise."

If these memorials were found after King Jia ascended the throne, someone would definitely blame King Jia for the shock at the border.

King Jia nodded, very satisfied with Yu Heng's intelligence.

He wanted to promote Yu Heng, but he also needed Yu Heng to be able to lift it up, otherwise it would be difficult to become a master in the end.

The border turmoil did not happen in the past two days. Although King Jia was angry at the incompetence of the governors and governors of all parties, he understood that it was Emperor Yanguang's various actions that catalyzed the ambitions of foreign races that led to today's bitter fruit.

In a sense, Jia Wang could even be called lucky.

If the dates attached to these memorials were a few days later, and they were written after the death of Emperor Yanguang, or discovered after King Jia ascended the throne, King Jia would be blamed for the frequent rebellions in various places.

King Jia touched the purple jade butterfly in his sleeve pocket, and said indifferently, "It's okay to go to the mourning hall to show your face, don't always run to the harem."

"I only have time to see Axue today." Yu Heng explained solemnly, and mentioned his business in the study to King Jia, "Does Your Majesty have any thoughts about the empress dowagers of the two palaces?"

King Jia automatically ignored the first half of Yu Heng's sentence, his attention was drawn to the second half, and he murmured, "Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces?"

Yu Heng immediately told King Jia all the theories that Ji Xinxue told him.

The aunt is the empress dowager of the East Palace, and the biological mother is the empress dowager of the West Palace. Both are respected, and the East Palace is the first.

The next day, urgent reports from all over the country gradually spread to the people, and the people all knew that the news of Emperor Yanguang's lingering sickness was leaked, which led to the rebellion of Nanzhao, the Tubo cut off the Longyou Road, and the Turks frequently went north.

The people who have not been affected by the sudden change in the border situation all hope that the new emperor will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and do not allow foreigners to continue to invade the country.

The people whose lives have been affected want the new emperor to ascend the throne as soon as possible more urgently than the former. They hope that the new emperor can restore them to their previous lives.

Three days later, under the witness of the ministers, King Jia ascended the throne in front of Emperor Yanguang's spirit. He still took Yanguang as his reign name and changed it to Yuan next year.

The first imperial decree of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, not surprisingly, is to respect the former emperor and empress as empress dowager.

The original concubine Wang is the empress, the Ruren Zheng is Duanfei, the Ruren Xu is Rongfei, the wife Zhong is Shufei, and the rest of the wives are all nobles.

Ji Minyan bestowed Huai'an, Qingzhou, Guannei Road, as a fief, with [-] households in the city, and was named Princess Huai'an.

Ji Jingyu bestowed Anle, Lingzhou, the Guannei Road, as a fief, with [-] households in Shiyi, and was named Lingwang.

Ji Jingrou bestowed Baoding in Puzhou, Hedong Road, as a fief, with [-] households in Shiyi, and was named Princess Baoding.

Ji Mingtong bestowed Jinming, Yanzhou, Guannei Road, as a fief, with [-] households in Shiyi, and was named Princess Jinming.

Ji Xinxue bestowed Shangzhou, the host country in the south of Shanxi, as a feudal land, with three thousand households in Shiyi, and the title of Princess Anwu.

Ji Baoshan bestowed Jichang, Cizhou, Hedong Road, as a fief, with [-] households in Shiyi, and was named Princess Jichang.

Princes and princesses can build palaces for princes and princesses in fiefs.

Ji Xinxue, who was kneeling and listening to the decree, was keenly aware of the difference between everyone's fiefs and titles.

The fiefs of Ji Minyan, Ji Jingyu, and Ji Mingtong are all in Guannei Road. It seems that Ji Jingyu has an advantage, and the food town is almost double that of Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong. It may become the second fiefdom of King Li... King Li's fief is now Nanzhao's territory.

The fiefs of Ji Minyan and Ji Mingtong did not have such troubles.

Ji Jingrou, Ji Baoshan and their fiefs are all in a wealthy place close to Gyeonggi-do, but his fiefdom is a bit strange.

When proclaiming the decree for others, they clearly stated which state, city and city were the fiefdoms. To him, only Shangzhou, the east of Shannan, did not say which city it was, Anwu... It seems that Shangzhou does not have a city named Anwu, but There are Anye and Wuguan respectively, did Aye choose two fiefdoms for him?

Ji Xinxue restrained her thoughts, respectfully received the imperial decree from the prince of Qinghe County, and quietly glanced at the content on it. It really was the word "Anwu" in the joint district of Anye and Wuguan, and the three thousand households were all in Anye. industry, but he can mobilize the soldiers and horses of Wuguan.

After all the edicts were read out, King Qinghe County and King Xinyang County suddenly left the place where the ministers stood and listened to the edicts. They said that the first emperor and concubine De concubine had contributed to the birth of the new emperor. Empress Dowager West.
