Chapter 58
At that time, the King of Jin, who was born by Concubine Chen, was nineteen years old. The ambitions of Concubine Chen and the Marquis of Hailing's Mansion gradually grew with the growth of King Jin. Zhou Weizhong married the concubine of Marquis of Hailing, which was naturally the King of Jin. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what his purpose was.
At that time, the prince was in court. The emperor remembered the great humiliation of Zhou Weizhong's report, and naturally remembered that the prince almost took his place in his own dangerous times, and immediately gave the prince a fierce look.
That glance was too fierce, and later, the emperor hated Chen Li to the core because he remembered the incident back then, so he ordered the Khashasi to assassinate Chen Li in the street.
At that time, Chen Yi knew very well that because of the incident that happened that year, he had already retreated from the position of prime minister and did not appear in front of Chunhe, but he still could not escape the fate of being killed.
The prince naturally guessed what was going on with Chen Yi's death, and he was so scared that he fell ill. He has been lingering until now, but he has not improved.
These thoughts flashed through Luo Ke's mind. Thinking about the prince's illness, thinking about what Hu Laoqi admitted today, Zhao Yujing's abnormality, combed it several times, frowned, and instructed: "The Duke Xunguo's mansion and Qu Mao must be closely monitored, and don't let go of any moves. If you take some more effort, check what happened in the year when Princess Yunyang died in the second year. The key point is the matter in the palace of Princess Yunyang's biological mother, Taifei Hua."
Zhuoshan and Wuzi stood up together to receive the order.

This mountain is quite big. Zhao Yan and Luo Mingguang wandered on the mountain for two days. The road was boring. They talked casually. Zhao Yan found that except for many common sense, Luo Mingguang didn't even know the change of dynasties in the past century.
Later, I thought about it. People in remote areas have low news. As long as they have food to eat, they will care about which family and surname are sitting on the dragon throne? I guess only those who read some books or have some connections with the government, or those who are running around all day long will have some understanding of the changes of dynasties.
She wanted to be her own wife in the future, and she would not be too ignorant when standing at such a high position. So she told her some general trends of the world while walking.
"You have learned that the battle between Zhao and Chen was shocked by Ma Po. In this battle, Zhao lost its troops and generals. In contrast, Chen became more and more powerful, with one increasing and the other deteriorating. Within a few years, Chen destroyed Zhao and officially replaced Zhao as the lord of the world."
"Emperor Chen won the world and realized that the country was peaceful and the people were safe, so he began to indulge in enjoyment, which led to the loss of power. In less than ten years, Chen's general Jin'an rebelled, destroyed Chen's son and established his name, and changed the country's name to Jin. With Jin'an as an example, after Jin and Lu and Jiang dynasties were both foreign relatives and generals who planned to win the world."
Luo Mingguang wrinkled his nose, which was really messy, just like playing house! But the cruelest house in the world is made up of many corpses stacked under the ambition of men. Who has developed more than half of the pity for these innocent bones?
"For more than a hundred years, the Five Dynasties changed, and it was less than thirty years until Emperor Gaozu established the Great Qi."
Luo Mingguang was stunned for a moment. It’s less than thirty years. Do you have to go through the troubled times? How good is it to live a peaceful life? When will it be the end of the fight?
"Gaozu Gaozu was very talented and kind, and loved the people. Unfortunately, he died of illness after only seven years of reign. The throne was passed down to the present, and the reign was changed to Chunhe. The current emperor..."
Zhao Yan's eyes flashed with a faint light, and a sarcastic arc curled up the corner of his mouth, and continued to tell: "...I believe that the change of power in the past century was because the meritorious officials was too heavy. So at the beginning of the throne, he acquired several meritorious officials and his military power for various reasons, and then married the three daughters of the late emperor to the sons of the three most outstanding princesses. Even the widowed princess Shoukang, who was widowed at the time, gave it all the best to marry the widowed king Jing, who was also widowed, to dispel the unfairness of the meritorious officials and generals."
"Brother Yun's mother is one of them?" Luo Mingguang immediately thought of Mu Yun.
"Well. The four princesses married into the four Duke's mansions, and the four most prestigious generals of the Great Qi instantly became toothless tigers."
"Then... why didn't Brother Yan's father be given a princess?" Luo Mingguang looked at Zhao Yan's face and asked in a slight silence.
Seeing her cautious expression, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "The father and mother were married since childhood. At that time, it was Jiang Chao. His grandfather had saved Duke Xianyi on the battlefield, which was Ayun's grandfather, my grandfather, so the grandfather promised his mother to his father."
Jiang Chao and Luo Mingguang were very sensitive to the hidden information in this sentence and asked: "Brother Yan's grandfather and grandfather were once generals of Jiang Chao?"
Zhao Yan was very satisfied with her intelligence, and touched her head with a smile and said, "Smart girl, you'll guess right. The four great dukes of Daqi were originally generals under Emperor Gaozu, and his grandfather and Emperor Gaozu Yi formed Jinlan to assist Emperor Gaozu to seize the country from Jiang Chao. Therefore, after Emperor Gaozu established the Great Qi, he was granted the title of the king of the other surname."
It turned out that they were all traitors! Luo Mingguang just thought about this and did not dare to say it.
"All people who go to the battlefield all year round are injured and have a long life span. Since Emperor Gaozu's death, his grandfather and the four great kings passed away one after another. Now only the old Duke Bao is still alive, but he is already stupid and does not recognize anyone."
"Oh, that is to say, the dudes who inherited the title are no longer the old veterans on the battlefield?" Luo Mingguang said: "I have another question. Since the four major dukes have all taken away the military power in their hands, I heard that Brother Yan's father is still guarding the northern border and holding..."
Zhao Yan touched her head again and said, "Grandfather and Emperor Gaozu were both in the Jiang Dynasty and led their troops. After the establishment of the new dynasty, although the troops in his grandfather's hands were actually controlled by his grandfather. Later, these hands were passed to his father. The Hu people in the north disturbed the border for years, and no one in the court could resist. My father led his own troops to guard the northern border, thus retaining the military power in his hands."
Luo Mingguang thought to himself, no wonder the emperor asked Brother Yan to live again and again. It turned out that the power of Brother Yan's family made the emperor taboo. But they all avoided the northern border and even killed their son, which was too unkind!
After walking and talking all the way on the mountain, I finally saw the village at the foot of the mountain. Luo Mingguang breathed a deep breath. If she eats raw meat and drinks blood without dropping salt, she may turn into a white-haired woman.
The two of them were not too embarrassed because of the cleaning the day before yesterday.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, there was only a trace of brightness left in the sky. The two of them looked for someone to stay at the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. They were called brothers and sisters, and they said that they had encountered bad people and avoided the mountain.
I thanked that family the next day and continued to travel east.
That night, although Zhao Yan was ready to go up the mountain and put a silver note in his arms, he was soaked in the rain that he had turned into a ball of slag. He didn't carry anything valuable to pawn, so the two of them were penniless and had to walk on foot.
