The mausoleum of Emperor Zhuang Wen is on the Vientiane Mountain in the southwest of the capital, and it can also be seen from a distance with the imperial palace of Zhaoguo.

After respectfully bowing to Emperor Zhuang Wen's tombstone, Jiang Yuetang told a story about him.

Emperor Zhuang Huai died of illness at the age of fifty-three, and the twenty-eight-year-old crown prince Li Xun succeeded to the throne justifiably, and soon after succeeding to the throne, he proclaimed himself Emperor Zhuang Wen. Emperor Zhuang Wen had a total of five younger brothers, except for the five princes, the other four were all divided into vassal kings at that time. The eldest prince and the second prince were divided into the southern end. The eldest prince has ten cities, and the second prince has seven cities. The three princes were sealed at the west end and had six cities. The four princes were divided into six cities at the east end. They all supported the new king, so the transition to the throne went very smoothly.

After Emperor Zhuang Wen ascended the throne, he vigorously supported the people to take the road of strategists, believing that as long as the country had a group of strategists with outstanding strategies, it would be able to help Zhao win the territory in each session of the 'Ninth Five-Year Competition', and then make the territory of Zhao become larger and stronger.

Under his push, more than half of the families in Zhao did their best to train their children in the direction of strategists, and within ten years, the country had a flourishing scene of one out of every thirty people being strategists.

Emperor Zhuang Wen advocated the rule of strategy and did not advocate the use of force, so during his reign, the military strength of the Zhao State was not only not expanded, but reduced a lot, and in the end, the imperial court only had a total of 100,000 troops. But for a country in the period of peace, this force is more than enough...... On March 3, when Emperor Zhuang Wen was forty-three years old, he died mysteriously in the palace, and the then crown prince had to hastily ascend the throne on March 5.

He was only 17 years old when he ascended the throne, had not yet married a wife, and his influence on the political stage was still very weak, so the Empress Dowager joined forces with all the old ministers to help him, so he did not encounter major resistance at the beginning of his accession to the throne. Immediately after succeeding to the throne, he implemented a series of policies that benefited the country and the people, and soon gained prestige and the love of the people.......

Jiang Yuetang spoke eloquently, Xiao Diyuan listened carefully, and was silent for a long time after listening.

It turned out that the death of the first emperor was assassinated, and he did not know about it before.

After listening to Jiang Yuetang's story, Xiao Diyuan vaguely felt that the person who assassinated the first emperor should be in the palace, and he was also a person of considerable status.

"Concubine Meng, is this person still alive?" asked Xiao Diyuan.

Jiang Yuetang nodded and said, "It's still alive." ”

Xiao Diyuan got up from the stone bench and leaned against the fence to look into the distance.

He had a gut feeling that the death of the first emperor might be related to Concubine Meng and her biological son Li Ji, because only they were the most likely to want the first emperor to die. Of course, they should still have external responses, and the ability to respond externally should not be small, otherwise they will definitely not be able to do this.

Their common purpose is obviously to help Li Ji ascend to the throne.

Xiao Diyuan's mood was a little complicated, he had never seen Li Ji, but he had heard others talk about this person. In the eyes of others, Li Ji has a cheerful personality, treats people amiably, is a person with excellent personal popularity, and he is serious in his studies and full of love, and he is a person who can hardly find any shortcomings.

What is the inner landscape of such a person?

Just as Xiao Diyuan was thinking about it, Jiang Yuetang came to his side, put his hand lightly on his hand, and asked with concern, "What are you thinking?"

Xiao Diyuan told her what he had just thought.

Jiang Yuetang roughly told Xiao Diyuan about the few exchanges and contacts she had with Li Ji.

After listening, Xiao Diyuan had a general impression of Li Ji - under his seemingly cheerful appearance there was a deep, calculating heart. Such a person can undoubtedly be very high-end when he plays scheming.

Xiao Diyuan sighed secretly.

It seems that the minds of the royal children of each country are not simple.

As the sun was about to set in the west, the two got into the carriage home.

The horses ran unhurriedly, and Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang in the carriage held hands and snuggled tightly with each other.

"It will be another two years before we meet. Jiang Yuetang said that the strong reluctance made her nose sour.

"You'll be a girl in two years. He leaned over to look at her and smiled.

She blushed and snuggled up to him tightly, not speaking.

She knew he was waiting for her to grow up, and her growth meant a lot to him. However, for her, two years later, she will still be able to show herself in men's clothes, and because her body is developed by then, she will have to wrap herself in strips of cloth, which will be uncomfortable days.

Of course, since she chose to live as an elder brother, she naturally will not have any complaints about it.

She leaned on his shoulder and slowly fell asleep, wandering in her sleep, not knowing how gentle his gaze was at her.

He hugged her tightly, as if he was holding his own bones and flesh, with an indescribable sense of relief and satisfaction.

There is a person in this world who can make him cherish and care for him so much, and he feels amazing when he thinks about it.

He was deeply grateful for all the happiness he had.

Looking back, he grew up in an environment that lacked family warmth, and he rarely felt the love from his parents, coupled with his indifferent nature, he thought he would always live so coldly, but he didn't expect to meet her.

She let him experience the most beautiful friendship between people, awakened his heart that was gradually hardened, she was the savior and noble person in his life,

"I'll see you in two years' time. Xiao Diyuan said.

He couldn't bear her to risk going to see him, not to mention that the domain he was in was too far away from Zhaoguo, and there were many dangerous areas along the way.

Jiang Yuetang nodded, straightened up and hugged his neck tightly.

Reluctant tears flowed out unexpectedly.

Xiao Diyuan felt it from her slightly trembling shoulders, gently pulled her face, and said softly: "Don't cry, we can still communicate with each other after separation." Also, I'll take care of myself, you don't have to worry. ”

She nodded her head repeatedly, but the tears kept falling.

Xiao Diyuan took out a small handkerchief to help her wipe her tears.

Rubbing it, he pressed his lips to it.

Feeling his soft lips just cling to her cheek, her tears stopped, and she put her arms around his neck a little shyly.

In the past few days, he has kissed her enough times, but she still feels that it is not enough, and unconsciously tilts her head slightly to him.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to scruple because she was still young, he would almost want to choke her lips and kiss her fiercely.

When the relationship reaches a certain level, some things are simply self-taught and natural.

Of course, he didn't kiss her in the end, but just pecked her on the lips a few times before letting her go.

At this time, his face was also flushed, and even his breathing unconsciously accelerated, and he hurriedly turned his head away from looking at her, afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Jiang Yuetang also vaguely understood, so she buried her face in his neck and gently rubbed his neck with her nose.

"Grow up, baby. Xiao Diyuan kissed her hair and said.

Then he added, "I'm waiting for you to be my wife."

Jiang Yuetang's face suddenly turned red, but she still nodded shyly.

After all, she lived for seventeen years in her previous life, and she already understood the feelings between men and women, although she was still young in this life, she still had some memories of her previous life, so she could still understand Xiao Diyuan's thoughts at this time.
