It is not easy for the Great Chu to establish a country, and it was destroyed in the hands of the small overlord of the Western Qi Dynasty for nearly 500 years, and the warlords fought for more than 100 years, during which heroes came out in large numbers, Yu, Liang, Tang, Yi, and Mu five countries competed in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains was ten, Yu three, Liang four, and each of the three was one. But in the end, Liang was destroyed by Yu, and Tang annexed Yi and Mu, and stood side by side with Yu for more than ten years in a confrontation.

Tang Neng used three points of the world to fight against seven points of Yu State, but Yu State has been crusading for many years but to no avail. There is a saying in the time, "Tang San is to Yu Qi, and An's is a thousand years old." Although it is not necessarily, it also shows the status and role of the An clan in the Tang Kingdom.

Legend has it that if you get An's family, you can win the world, and finally the new emperor of the Tang Kingdom came to the throne, felt threatened, and found a reason to behead An's family. An Yuwen, who was only fifteen years old, barely survived the fire and was rescued by Ji Mao, who was also the same age, and Ji Mao's father, Ji Xing, was a depressed general in Yu Guo. After that, An Yuwen planned for the Ji family, and in the battle when Yu annexed the Tang State, Ji Xing established himself as the king of Chu, set up An Yuwen as the king of An, the general Xiao Yuanpei of Zhengdong as the king of Xiao, the rebellious general Li Xiner as the king of Li, and the military commander Rong Zhi as the king of Rong. The five kings stood side by side, thus defeating the two kingdoms of Tang and Yu. Hearing about that battle, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the King of Chu killed nearly 800,000 soldiers and horses of Tang and Yu. An Yuwen almost became famous in a fight. In just half a year, the Central Plains were unified.

In the last battle of Yu Guo's destruction, An Yuwen sat in the tent and made tea, and several staff members made a bet on money, saying that Yu Guo could be captured within three days. An Yuwen passed by but didn't look back, stretched out his hand and threw a piece of white jade pendant, "I'll bet on it for three hours!" ”

In this battle, An Yuwen won a lot of treasures from his staff, and it was also in that battle that An Yuwen met Zhao Shangruo, his fiancée when he was young, and the lord of Yuguo Liangyu. But she also watched her being accepted by Ji Xing's eldest son, Ji Ying, as a side room.

Then, the five kings were headed by the king of Chu, established the Chu Dynasty, set up the third-class title of prince and marquis, named King An as the king of Jin, and divided it into Jin, King Xiao was divided into King Yan, King Li was divided into King Qi, and King Rong was divided into King Wu. As a result, a system was established that non-royal children were no longer allowed to divide kings with different surnames.

However, the four kings with different surnames left the capital after receiving their respective fiefs, but An Yuwen, the king of Jin, and Rong Yuan, the son of King Wu, were exceptions. In the dynasty of Chu Taiyi, that is, when Ji Xing was the emperor, it can be described as the glory of the four gates.

But in fact, the four kings were all robbed of military power, An Yuwen is good, he has always been concerned about diplomatic matters, and because the An family was quite researched in foreign affairs when he was young, he became a Honglu temple secretary in Honglu Temple, but his life ambition was not valued by Taiyi Ancestor.

In the eighth year of the founding of the country, Taiyizu was seriously ill, Ji Mao refused to accept Ji Ying as the crown prince, and privately befriended the power of the four kings in the capital. Before the death of Taiyizu, the palace change was launched, and this palace change was known as the "Shenwumen Change" in history. That night, Zhao Shangruo stayed in Anfu.

But in the end, Ji Mao regretted it and ordered the Zhao family to be summoned to the palace as the righteous sister of the An family and named Concubine Zhao.

At that time, Concubine Zhao was nearly two months pregnant.

On December 25 of that year, Concubine Zhao gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a daughter, but she lied that it was a stillbirth, and asked the most trusted grandmother around her to take her out of the palace and put her in a snowy place, and brought a letter to An Yuwen. The middle-aged Guan in the palace was taboo about white things, so he didn't pursue it much, and only regarded it as Concubine Zhao's miscarriage.

In September of the following year, Concubine Zhao gave birth to Ji Xuanjia, the ninth son of the emperor. Then she was named Ning Guifei. Ji Xuanjia was named the king of Tang as soon as he was born, and the first emperor Ji Mao favored this son, and said on the day of the full moon that this son could inherit the destiny of heaven. This touched the bottom line of Queen Lin at that time, the eldest son was already the prince, but the ninth son promised the destiny of heaven, what does this mean?

Empress Lin was unwilling to be deposed by the crown prince, so she privately sent someone to find out the inappropriateness of Concubine Ning, and finally found out the past of Zhao and An Yuwen, and found the so-called stillborn daughter born to the two.

The first emperor Ji Mao was furious and gave Ning Guifei Zhao to death, and Tang King Ji Xuanjia left the palace and entered the palace. At that time, Ji Xuanyuan was only a child of more than a year old, and he entered the mansion to wait for the prince to marry a wife when he became an adult, which was the exile of King Tang in disguise.

The following year, the first emperor used the excuse to reprimand An Yuwen, seized his official position as Honglu Siqing, and relegated him back to Jindi. Two years later, under the pretext of Anyu Wenjin's unfavorable war, he was demoted to the Marquis of Jin. In September of the same year, Jin Marquis An Yuwen died depressed. However, the imperial court did not say anything, An Xu, the son of An Yuwen, took the initiative to give up the inheritance of the title, and the first emperor also approved.

People only know that the fall of the An family is related to the death of Ning Guifei, but they don't know the various entanglements between the An family and the Zhao family, and the first emperor tabooed this matter, and also turned it into a private matter in the harem, and no one will mention it again.
