After ten years of filial piety, Chen Zhao took another concubine.

She is Li Wan's cousin and Xue Pan's sister-in-law Li Qi.

It was also Li Wan's line.

Originally, Jia Huan studied at Jinyiwei Academy, which just happened to save Li Wan and his son from prison. However, Jia Huan studied at Jinyiwei Academy for a long time, which made Li Wan's father, Li Shou, a minister of the Imperial Academy, unhappy.

After all, we are from a family of poets and writers, so how can we go to the martial arts school on a pole?

So after Jia Huan graduated from Jinyiwei School, he transferred to the 666 School. This year he took the county examination and passed the examination.

Logically speaking, Li Wan was able to survive, but after all, she had been having an affair with Chen Zhao for several years, and she didn't want Chen Zhao to worry about it, so she introduced her cousin Li Qi to him.

Chen Zhao sighed in his heart, women's hearts are like needles in the sea, I really don't know why they have so many good thoughts...

At this time, of the four princes and princes in the past, only the Prince of Nan'an County and the Prince of Beijing County were left, and the rest had been copied.

Logically speaking, the two families should keep a low profile, but the Prince of Nan'an County did not.

After all, the title has been passed down from ancestors to this day, and no one wants to watch the former wealth and wealth decline day by day.

It happened that at this time Fenxiang Kingdom united with several countries in southern Xinjiang to cause rebellion, so the king of Nan'an County wrote a letter requesting to lead troops to fight.

Emperor Xiaode naturally agreed. Unexpectedly, half a year later, the battle report from the front showed that the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang suffered defeat for the first time because of the Nan'an County King's greed for credit. With the desperate efforts of all the soldiers, the situation was finally under control. However, Emperor Xiaode was greatly surprised.

Angry, he ordered the governor's office to re-arrange the candidates, and at the same time, the Nan'an County Prince and his subordinates were all brought back to discuss the crimes and punish them.

The affairs of Prince Nan'an were very involved. Emperor Xiaode not only took back the military power of Prince Nan'an, but also dismissed all the generals under his name.

Because Princess Nan'an approached the queen to plead for mercy, Emperor Xiaode spared Prince Nan'an from the death penalty, deprived him of his throne, demoted him to the rank of general of the auxiliary country, and asked the Prince of Nan'an to pay one million taels of silver to redeem him.

Concubine Nan'an received this favor and hurriedly went back to collect money to redeem her. The generals who followed Prince Nan'an did not have such good luck. They were all dismissed from their posts, their property was confiscated, and both men and women were demoted to slaves.

When the Prince of Beijing County saw the miserable situation in Nan'an Palace, he quickly surrendered his military power. Emperor Xiaode saw that he knew what he was interested in, so he was happy to leave them as idle princes.

There were only four people in Wenyuan Pavilion: the emperor, Prince Zhongshun, Chen Zhao and Li Changqing.

Upon hearing the news of King Beijing handing over power, Prince Zhongshun said with a smile: "My brother congratulates my brother. I didn't expect that Shui Rong is a wonderful person and knows how to take the initiative to hand over his military power."

Emperor Xiaode hummed: "He naturally knows the current affairs. When he inherited the throne in the past, he was very romantic and did not get involved in political affairs. As soon as the incident in Nan'an Palace came out this time, he knew better how to choose. If he wanted to keep his life and the throne, he would have to live without it.

Military power cannot be tolerated at the same time."

Li Changqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, now that he has handed over military power, does he still need a favor from our Governor's Office?"

Emperor Xiaode said: "I left him the throne. Isn't that a reward for his kindness? The family of the general of the auxiliary country has been reduced so much in one fell swoop, and will be reduced every generation in the future. Why is he still dissatisfied?"

Chen Zhaodao: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Beijing cannot be born, and the throne of Prince Beijing cannot be passed on. I don't know what I did with power before."

Emperor Xiaode smiled and said, "It's not my fault that his family has no descendants. I wanted to find a matchmaker for Shui Rong, but Shui Rong refused. I chose such a good match."

"Hahaha……"

Prince Zhongshun and Li Changqing laughed easily.

Chen Zhao laughed a few times, cupped his hands and said: "I'm not worried about this, I just think that Concubine Beijing must be filled with regret at this time. According to his calculation, I'm afraid there will be something that I can't bear to say."

occur."

"Oh?" Emperor Xiaode raised his eyebrows.

He just likes Chen Zhao to be sensible.

He rarely participates in major military affairs all day long, but talks more about trivial matters.

This is my royal guard!

Both Princess Beijing and Princess Beijing came from extraordinary backgrounds and had similar family backgrounds. If something happened to these two women, Emperor Xiao De believed that Jinyiwei and Longjingwei would have a hundred ways to follow the lead and kill the two families behind them.

The whole thing disappeared into smoke.

Thinking of this, he laughed: "If you are about to die and want to engage in internal strife, then don't blame me for being rude!"

…

Concubine Beijing was so regretful that her intestines were turning green at this time? She was so regretful that her entire body was turning green. The reason why she chose this daughter-in-law in the first place was because of her family background, upbringing, appearance, appearance, scheming, and everything was excellent.

Wan Hao is a hundred times stronger than the average person and is qualified to be a queen, so she declined the appointment as a matchmaker when Emperor Xiao De stayed in his residence.

Who would have imagined that she would not be able to give birth!

This is a big joke. What is a princess who can't have children, what is she going to do? Is she going to end the inheritance of the Beijing Palace? But His Majesty also decreed that no one who is not the legitimate son of the original wife can inherit the throne, otherwise she would have given birth to her husband long ago.

His son Dona took a concubine as a concubine.

Concubine Beijing frowned, holding a prescription and said: "Are you sure this prescription is effective? Can it really cure the princess's illness?"

Aunt Zhang next to her smiled and said: "Taifei, don't worry, this recipe was bought from the south at a huge price by this slave. It is said that it has made several women have sons. I guarantee it will be fine! Taifei, you

Yeah, just wait to hold your grandson."

Concubine Beijing nodded and said: "That's all, let's try this one last time. If it still doesn't work...".

Grandma Zhang was so excited that she kept laughing with her.

When Princess Beijing saw the medicine brought by Nanny Zhang, she sneered and said, "Nanny, where did you ask for this wonderful recipe?"

Nanny Zhang bowed and said: "Princess, the recipe this time was bought from the south. It was originally used by the Wuman clan. The old slave spent a lot of energy and money to beg someone to bring this recipe. Princess

, just drink it for the sake of the young prince. The concubine...but she is very impatient to wait."

Princess Beijing was a smart person. She understood the meaning of what Nanny Zhang said as soon as she heard it. She felt something in her heart and said, "In that case, please present it."

Grandma Zhang put down the medicine bowl, bowed and stepped back.

Princess Beijing looked at the medicine bowl with a very ugly face. The maid beside her advised: "Princess, just drink it. Maybe it will be effective this time?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Princess Beijing said bitterly: "I also hope it can be effective. But Xianyue, how many bitter juices have I drank over the years, and which one has been effective? It's medicine.

Three points of poison. The last time I went back to my parents' home, my mother asked the imperial doctor to come and see me. Because I drank all those soups and water that nourished the body in the past few years, my body was completely damaged. I will never have it again in this life.

It’s a child.”

Guan Yue was startled: "Princess, what should I do? The concubine...if the concubine knew about this, she would definitely not let you go. I remember, your majesty has decreed that if the original wife has no

Son, the step-son can still inherit the throne if the prince declares it."

Princess Beijing said indifferently: "I know. Didn't Nanny Zhang just say that? The concubine is already impatient with waiting. If there is no way to give birth to an heir, the concubine... will probably attack me."

Guanyue hurriedly knelt down: "Princess..."

zhongsh Princess Beijing closed her eyes and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I know it in my heart, and I won't really do what she wants. The princess dislikes me for not being able to give birth to children, but my body is broken, and a large part of it is

It was caused by the concubine's potion, so we can't just let it go."

To strike first is to gain strength, to strike later is to suffer disaster.

Within a few days, the news of the death of the concubine of the Prince of Beijing spread throughout the capital.

King Beijing presided over the beautiful funeral, crying and mourning. Except for a few people, few people knew about the flash of swords and swords in the back house of the dignified prince's palace.

Although the Princess of Beijing must tell the Prince of Beijing before her death that if she wants a legitimate son to inherit the family business, she must give up her wife and remarry.

But Emperor Xiaode knew the whole story, so he issued an order to commend Princess Beijing and sent a nun from the palace to take care of her.

So anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Beijing Palace will naturally disappear within a few years, and it is cleaner than the Nan'an Palace.

At this point, the four founding kings with different surnames, Dongping and Xining, had lost their talent and had been dormant for a long time; the Nan'an king suffered a defeat and was demoted to the rank of general to assist the country, and his descendants were demoted to the rank of nobles. In this capital, he was completely in decline.

; King Beijing has no legitimate son, and a bastard cannot take the title, so not depriving him of the throne is almost the same as depriving him of the throne. From then on, there was no king with a different surname in the world.

Not only the Four Kings, but also other Dukes' and Marquises' mansions, all of which have gone through several generations and their descendants have no palaces, have all slowly withered away amid the storms of the past ten years.

The old withers away, and the new aristocratic family rises.

Emperor Xiaode single-handedly restructured the martial arts system, and coupled with the checks and balances in his drama, it was able to compete with the civil service system, so the military affairs went smoothly.

Soon, the battle report from the front line showed that under the leadership of the new general, a great victory was achieved in southern Xinjiang, the war was gradually stabilized, and victory was only a matter of time.

Immediately afterwards, the Torgut tribe returned home after thousands of miles, and the tribal leader Wobaxi was solemnly received by Emperor Xiaode.

In addition, with the death of the Supreme Emperor, two-thirds of the four kings and eight princes have been reduced. The remaining ones are either the old, weak, sick, or disabled, or are in internal strife within their own families. They cannot make any big waves at all.

Because taxes continued to rise, the people were not affected, the country prospered, and many cities became more prosperous. Everyone called it "the prosperous age of filial piety". Emperor Xiaode also felt that he could be on par with Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, enough to call it an eternity.

One emperor.
