Raise an emperor as a villain

"This child is unlucky, the queen should not be too sad." Although Emperor Rui said so, he couldn't help being sad. He had placed too much expectations on this child, and he wanted to train him to be himself from the bottom of his heart. However, he never thought that Xiao Yan would die so early.

The death of the crown prince naturally spread throughout the palace within a day.Some people lose and some people gain, some people mourn and some people rejoice.This cold palace will definitely not make everyone sad for the death of a little life, on the contrary most people will be happy.

Tranquility Palace

"Your Majesty, something happened to Kunhe Palace. The crown prince passed away." Pei Xin promptly passed the news to her master, Queen Zhou, who "didn't hear anything out of the window".

"Oh?" Queen Zhou was slightly surprised, but quickly regained her composure.Ever since Mingjue left the capital, she would no longer be implicated because of this son who was a prince, so her life has been very peaceful.

"Where's Lang'er?" Hearing the news of a child's death, she suddenly thought of her own child.

"Your Highness is in the study, Mr. Gu is practicing calligraphy with him." Pei Xin replied.

"Oh!" Empress Zhou put her hanging heart back into her stomach, "Don't ask him to go out these few days, especially not to be with King Rui, and don't go to the Wenhua Palace, just say yes If you are sick, please resign from Mrs. Chang."

"Your Majesty, you are too cautious. Although Prince Rui's Mansion is absolutely forbidden, we still have to go to the Wenhua Palace, otherwise, won't others say that our Highness is tired?" Pei Xin asked puzzled.

"What do you know, when such a big event happened, the whole country must be mourned. The classes in the Wenhua Palace will stop sooner or later. Besides, Lang'er doesn't compete for the position of crown prince, so who cares if he's tired or not?" Queen Zhou Entering the palace at the age of 13, immersed in the deep palace for many years, naturally has a keenness that others can't match.

"Ms. Mingjian, but now that the crown prince is gone, who does this prince belong to?" Pei Xin couldn't help being tempted, she knew that Mingjue was deposed because of Xiao Yan's birth, and now Xiao Yan is dead...

"Who is it? It won't be my son anymore." Empress Zhou immediately shattered Peixin's fantasy, "I just want to watch Brother Lang and live a good life, and let them fight for the rest!" Empress Zhou She said dejectedly, there was a dead silence at the moment, as early as when Emperor Ying was captured, she had given up her hope of being the queen mother.

Shoukang Palace

"Empress Dowager, which little highness of Kunhe Palace has gone down." Xi Ruo said in a low voice, but it was so clear in the empty Buddhist hall.

"It's good to go, the child will suffer even if he is alive, so it's better to go earlier." The Empress Dowager looked kindly, but the words she spoke were extremely cruel.

Looking up, he was not at all surprised by the unexpected death of Prince Xiao Yan.In fact, when Empress Li was pregnant, she arranged for people to mix medicine into the candles used in the Kunhe Palace, but she didn't know whether the dose was insufficient or Empress Li was very lucky, and she gave birth to the child smoothly.It's a pity that although the child is precocious, he has hurt his roots. He has been a medicine jar since he was a child, and he doesn't have a long life after all.

"What the Empress Dowager said is that the crown prince was cast in the wrong baby." Xi Ruo echoed, she had lived in the deep palace all her life, and she had no sympathy for a long time.The only thing worthy of praise is his loyalty to his master.

"Forget it, the Ai family is also committing crimes. Tonight, I will burn some of the scriptures of the past that the Ai family copied with their own hands." The queen mother showed a trace of unbearable, but it disappeared in a flash.

"Is there any news from Qizhou?"

"Yesterday, Lu Hengxiu just sent a letter, saying that His Royal Highness King Su is very good. He has made great progress in reading and martial arts. He is very popular in Qizhou and has the style of being a master."

"Good! Good! Ai's painstaking efforts were finally not in vain." The Queen Mother smiled gratifiedly.

"I just heard that the army in the barbarian land of Qizhou is so powerful that it is difficult for His Highness to subdue it." Xiruo hesitated to say the bad news.

"This child's foundation is still too weak. The future will depend on his good luck." The queen mother didn't care too much, she already knew that this is not a smooth road.

After the death of Prince Xiao Yan, Empress Li was so sad that she couldn't afford to get sick, and everything in the harem was left behind.However, King Rui lured the prince to have fun, causing the prince to catch a cold and die. Although it was an unintentional act, it still caused a lot of impeachment in the court, especially the ministers headed by King Qing.Therefore, King Rui, who was favored by Emperor Rui, was demoted to be a commoner, and his mother, Concubine Yan, was demoted to be a concubine.

The matter is over so far, and the biggest beneficiary is King Qing.He seized the opportunity in time to strike his opponent accurately and forcefully, and no one in the court could compete with him. If there were no subsequent changes, maybe he would be the last person to ascend to the throne.But the world is impermanent, and he is doomed to failure.

Although Emperor Rui had always relied on the King of Chongqing, he had no intention of letting him inherit his throne, after all, King Qing's background was too humble.Emperor Rui himself is also of low status, and has won the throne by virtue of his own ability, but he is still unwilling to give his son a chance.People are like this, they can forgive themselves but refuse to forgive others.

Although the crown prince is just a naive child, he is still the crown prince of the country. Now that the crown prince passed away, internal problems suddenly came up.While Emperor Rui was dealing with the turmoil in his harem, he also had to deal with the ministers who persuaded him to make King Li Qing the crown prince every day, he was exhausted physically and mentally.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the Mongolian army attacked the border again after a lapse of ten years.The border is in a constant emergency, and several places have already been lost, but the court has no available generals.The generals who followed Emperor Ying to conquer the throne ten years ago did not come back, and the generals who helped Emperor Rui usurp the throne were also cut off by him one by one.

Even though Emperor Rui himself was a very good general, he never dared to fight in person.One is that he has not been on the battlefield for a long time, even if he goes to the battlefield himself, he may not be able to guarantee victory; the other is that his brother Yingzong has learned from the past, how could he dare to leave the capital so easily?

As a result, the situation on the border became more and more critical, and the flames of war soon reached Qizhou on the northwest border.

Qizhou is a frontier, although it is inevitably desolate, it is an important military town.Several prefectures and counties near Qizhou have fallen under the iron heel of Mongolia, but Qizhou is still holding on.But it is also caught in the crisis of the isolated city.

The soldiers and horses in Qizhou are all named Zhan Taihong, who is a typical warrior.He hasn't read many books, and he hasn't taken any martial arts exams. His current achievements are all accumulated from the accumulation of heads and military exploits.He is also a mighty general, although he had many conflicts with Ming Jue on weekdays, he used to be the overlord of one side in Qizhou, since Ming Jue came, he has challenged his authority a lot.

But now the wartime situation is urgent, he has to follow the emperor's order to rescue the captured Daning City, but the whole family can only stay in Qizhou, he has to rely on Mingjue to take care of his family, so naturally he has to improve the relationship between the two.

"Your Highness, General Zhantai led an army to rescue Yancheng the day before yesterday, and just now there was a good news that Daning City had been taken back. However, our army suffered heavy casualties." Lu Hengxiu got the battle report from the front line. Immediately report to Ming Jue.

"I didn't expect Zhan Taihong to be so brave. Now that the siege of Yancheng has been lifted, our Qizhou is no longer an isolated city. Alas, I really want to go to the front line with him to fight against the enemy." Ming Jue is now 15 years old, and he is young and vigorous. Days, I am very yearning for the life of fighting with gold and iron horses.

"Your Highness, swords have no eyes, you are the son of a thousand gold, you can't take this risk." Lu Hengxiu immediately refused, in case Ming Jue would really do something out of line.

"Okay, okay, I got it. In short, do you know? Sometimes you really talk like an old lady." After complaining, Ming Jue quickly glanced at Lu Hengxiu, like a child accidentally Like doing something wrong.

Lu Hengxiu held his forehead helplessly. Who can tell him why that forbearing and calm young man gradually became like this?Or maybe this is what a 15-year-old boy should look like!Lu Hengxiu felt a little relieved when he thought about it, his years of hard work were finally not in vain.

When he saw the timid Mingjue for the first time back then, he decided to protect him, and in the days when they depended on each other, this idea became more and more unabated.Now seeing Mingjue stepping out of the shadow of inferiority and cowardice, and gradually growing into an independent young man, it is inevitable to feel a little bit relieved that "my highness has just grown up".

"I'm going to learn martial arts with Li Yimo. The days are not peaceful, so I can't relax." Ming Jue was about to leave with a straight face.

"Your Highness, it's time for Mr. Wen Jing to give lectures, you can't go." Lu Hengxiu stopped Ming Jue who wanted to sneak away, "Your Highness, there is a time for reading, riding and shooting, you can't come here on your own."

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, Jane." Seeing that his plan fell through, Ming Jue didn't feel much displeasure, and went to the study willingly.In fact, he only played childish temper towards Lu Hengxiu, but in front of Luo Wenxi, Chen Ding, and even Li Yimo and Tianshu, he always looked mature, dignified and steady.

Luo Wenxi is a man of great talent without being pedantic, and he can easily read the words of a sage and the mind of an emperor.Speaking of history books is also as eloquent as telling a story.At the beginning, Lu Hengxiu took the initiative to resign, and when he wanted to give up the position of lecturer to Luo Wenxi, Ming Jue made a fuss for a while, and after listening to Luo Wenxi's lectures a few times, he gradually acquiesced.

"Well, sir." Ming Jue entered the study, saw Luo Wenxi packing things on the table, and gave a student salute first.

"Your Highness." Luo Wenxi returned the salute.He became Mr. Xixi of King Su, and he could be regarded as an aide, but he became more and more immortal, and he seemed even more unpredictable than when he was a hermit before.

"Sir, what are you going to teach today?" Ming Jue asked respectfully.If Lu Hengxiu was his closest and most trusted person, then Luo Wenxi was the person he respected the most.

"Please sit down, Your Highness. I won't be teaching today. Let's discuss the current situation." Sure enough, Luo Wenxi put away all the books and spread a large sheet of paper on the table.

"How does Your Highness see the current situation?" Luo Wenxi laid out the map and asked Ming Jue.

"The current situation?" Ming Jue thought for a moment to understand Luo Wenxi's intentions, and then said: "There is a faint turmoil in the world today. The prince is dead and the queen is seriously ill. The original balance in the court has been broken. It is inevitable. At the same time, the Mongolian advance has plunged my Ming Dynasty into internal and external troubles."

"Oh? Your Highness thought of all this?" Luo Wenxi suspected that it was Lu Hengxiu who analyzed it to Ming Jue. He felt that Lu Hengxiu and Ming Jue were close, so naturally he should tell him everything.But he didn't expect Lu Hengxiu to act calmly, since he started to teach Mingjue, he no longer intervened in Mingjue's teaching.

"Yes." Ming Jue replied truthfully.In fact, Lu Hengxiu was so busy with daily affairs that he would never have time to discuss the general situation of the world with him as usual.

"Your Highness knows that the Mongolian army invaded the country, but can you guess the reason?" Luo Wenxi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked persuasively.
