Chapter 37: Betrayal and Murder
In a big battle at the border pass three years ago, Sikong Liang defeated the 400,000 iron cavalry of the invading enemy country of the Western Jin Dynasty with only 200,000 troops on his own.
Sikong Liang was famous in that battle, and since then, the Western Jin Dynasty has not dared to attack Dou Liang again, and has sent countless treasures and gifts to seek reconciliation between the two countries, and has taken the initiative to send the seven princes of his country to Dou Liang as a proton.
It is precisely because of that battle that although Emperor Dou Liang is actually increasingly suspicious of the general Sikong Liang, he doesn't want to have such a subordinate who has high merit and can not rely on him. The very contradictory mood will make the Sikong family rise with the tide, and who doesn't know, the general's favorite is the second daughter Sikong Dawn, but she was only ten years old that year, otherwise the person who asked for marriage would have already broken through the threshold of the General's Mansion.
Sikong Liang had already let go, Sikong Dawn was his most important baby, and he had to raise it for a few more years, and he didn't want to be abducted by a casual stinky boy.
Because of this, after the eldest lady Sikong Chenxi and Lu, a large number of people came to the door to ask for marriage, but the second lady Sikong dawned but no one cared.
Of course, Sikong Chenxi's marriage general's wife takes it very seriously, and she will not easily marry her to a Lu man. These are all later words, but what Xiao Xiao is concerned about now is how to save this Qi Zijian, the seventh prince of the Western Jin Dynasty.
It is said that Qi Zijian's biological mother was originally the favorite concubine of the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor, and the handsome and smart Seven Princes were originally the most favored son of the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor.
That is to say, the so-called passing on the virtuous does not pass on the elders, so the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty has never appointed a prince, and it is not necessarily the eldest son or the queen's sister-in-law who can be the emperor in the future, and the capable live there.
In this case, the queen's own son, the second prince Qi Zikang, the emperor's favored seventh prince Qi Zijian, and several adult princes all have the possibility of becoming princes.
Under the acquiescence of the emperor turning a blind eye, several princes fought openly and secretly, which was really cruel, and it was really fratricidal and fratricidal.
What happened in the previous life is Sikong Xiaoxiao remembers very clearly, and it was Qi Zikang who won the victory in the end, not because he himself had the ability, but because he had a good mother, and the queen's mother family was also very powerful.
With the help of the queen and the queen's family, Qi Zikang was able to defeat the other brothers and finally win.
But Qi Zikang, how to say it, is more than smart and incapable, and he is a good person. After ascending to the throne, he was diligent and diligent in the first year, relying on the budding voice of his ancestors, and after achieving good political achievements, he began to spend all his days drinking and doing nonsense.
Within a few years, the national strength was weakening day by day, and in the end, it was still occupied by Wen Shiwei and the Tuoba clan of the grassland tribe, and the Western Jin Dynasty went to extinction.
In addition to these reasons, there is another very important factor for Qi Zikang to ascend the throne, because of Qi Zijian's death.
When several brothers were fighting openly and secretly (what happened exactly, Dawn was actually not clear, she was still young at the time, and even if she became the third princess, such an adult old thing was nowhere to be checked, besides, she was not particularly interested in the struggle for the throne of neighboring countries), Qi Zijian was defeated, and his mother died of a sudden illness in the publicity, of course, Dawn did not think it was true, but the situation in the palace is changing, who would care about the cause of death of a concubine who lost the emperor's favor?
Anyway, I don't know what happened, Qi Zijian's mother died, and he was disgusted by the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. At this time, as a defeated country, it was necessary to send protons over, so the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty reluctantly sent his own son to Dou Liang.
On the one hand, his sincerity was expressed; On the other hand, it also shows his disappointment and anger towards Qi Zijian, it is obvious that this son is the one who was abandoned.
To say that Qi Zijian is also a wonderful person, in the three years that Dou Liang was a proton, he pretended to be crazy and stupid and endured humiliation, not only escaped the assassination of the killers sent by the Western Jin Dynasty many times, but finally won the trust and love of His Royal Highness Prince Dou Liang and became his staff.
For Wen Shiwei, this is a very terrible thing, because Qi Zijian, like him, is a very tolerant man, who can endure the hardships of his crotch, and the possibility of success for such a talent.
Therefore, he united with the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty, betrayed the intelligence information to her, and assassinated Qi Zijian in Huguo Temple. This time the assassination, in fact, Qi Zijian was not seriously injured, the real disaster was still to come, it was originally only a small injury, after going back, the Western Jin Dynasty spies who were mixed in the prince's mansion were mixed with poison in his healing medicine.
In the end, Qi Zijian died in the prince's mansion, no matter what, he was a proton but also the seventh prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, the favorite son of the Western Jin Dynasty emperor. died like this, Dou Liang Tianzi naturally wanted to give a good explanation to the Western Jin Dynasty.
At that time, Wen Shida was very disappointed in the prince, and it was from that point that Wen Shiwei gradually emerged.
Because he cares about Wen Shiwei and knows everything about him, the things that happen around him will be so clear by the way. Things are still progressing according to the trajectory of history, Qi Zijian was really injured, and he happened to be in Huguo Temple, this time, the crown prince and the third prince were really here.
Then, Qi Zijian was taken back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to recuperate...... And then ...... I just don't know how things will change if she intervenes in it?
The imperial doctor explained very carefully, and left enough good enough healing elixirs such as hemostasis and inflammation, with the help of peony and sunset, Dawn helped Qi Zijian clean up the wound, smeared the medicine, and then helped him wrap a thick layer of gauze on his chest.
After doing all this, it was already the third watch, and the night was dark, but the dawn was sweating profusely. The person she sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask for help just now, while inviting the imperial doctor, told her the news that the third prince was also there with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Faintly, Dawn already felt that something was wrong, if she didn't guess wrong, with Wen Shiwei's character, she would definitely incite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to search the entire Huguo Temple in the name of arresting the assassin early tomorrow morning.
At that time, even for the sake of the general's father, he would not venture into the place where she lived, but there was a strange man hidden in the room of a young lady, and he was in this well-ruled Huguo Temple, what if others knew about it?
