In the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Chengqian, he ascended the throne at a young age, and Emperor Ping, who reigned for nearly 29 years, collapsed, and the crown prince Li Mao of the Empress of the Zhenggong Palace of Emperor Ping succeeded to the throne, and the name of the year was changed to Tai'an in the second year.

At that time, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been controlled by the powerful minister Yan Ding, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only knew that there was a Yan family but did not know that there was a Li family, and the Yan family was powerful.

In the third year of Emperor Tai'an's succession, Emperor Tai'an, with the support of the Empress Dowager Yan's family, united with the Shen family of the queen's maiden family to launch a coup d'état in an attempt to attack the Yan Party, but was investigated by Yan Ding because of the eunuch's informant, and finally Emperor Tai'an died, the Empress Dowager and Queen Shen were killed, and the Shen family was slaughtered.

After the death of Emperor Tai'an, Yan Ding supported Li Huan, the youngest son of Emperor Tai'an for eight months, to succeed him and changed his name to Changshun.

In the first year of Changshun, the Empress of Emperor Tai'an, the Empress Dowager Zhou, scolded Yan Ding for a "old dog" in the harem, and was hanged by Yan Ding after knowing about it. In the same year, Xiao Weiyong, the son of the king of Yanbei, died violently in the palace, and it was rumored that Xiao Weiyong was dissatisfied with Yan Ding's restriction of his freedom of movement, so he was killed by Yan Ding if he was offended by Yan Ding.

After Xiao Weiyong's death, the people of Yanbei were furious, and officials of all sizes in Yanbei jointly wrote to the Yanbei Wangfu asking the king of Yanbei to seek justice for the prince.

The king of Yanbei was saddened by the death of his eldest grandson, and after he recovered from the illness, he set up his second son Xiao Jingxi as the prince of Yanbei, and handed over all the affairs of Yanbei to the prince.

In the spring of the third year of Changshun, the four-year-old little emperor Li Huan was choked to death by a piece of pastry, and everyone in the palace said that the little emperor was poisoned by Yan Xiang, and Yan Xiang tried in vain to exterminate the Li bloodline.

In the summer of the third year of Changshun, the Yanbei Wangfu and the Hezhong Wangfu successively issued a crusade against the Wen, under the banner of "eliminating traitorous ministers, Qingjun side" and jointly sent troops to the south, and the commander of the two armies was Xiao Jingxi, the son of the king of Yanbei.

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is pampered all the year round, although it does not lose the Yanbei army in terms of quantity, but the gap in strength between the two sides is huge, the Yanbei army under the leadership of Xiao Jingxi went all the way south, the momentum is like a bamboo, the imperial army is defeated and retreated, and finally the Yanbei army hit the capital in one breath, and the soldiers are in the city.

At first, the ordinary people saw that the Yanbei Army would flee and dodge, and then saw that the Yanbei Army did not burn and loot, even if the grain and grass were collected along the way, they would give the people a reasonable price, and gradually the people were not afraid, and some ordinary people who did not know the situation saw that the soldiers of the Yanbei Army were all heroic and mighty, and they also pulled their daughters to send water and food, and wanted to recruit a good son-in-law to enter the door.

Mu Hu, known as General Black, has had this kind of trouble.

At that time, a middle-aged peasant woman was holding Mu Hu's thick legs and rolling around to prevent him from leaving.

"You have received my daughter's purse, and you are going to marry my daughter!"

Mu Hu glanced at the strong girl who was standing aside and looked five big and three thick, and was darker than him, and almost knelt down: "Auntie, you let go, I will confiscate your daughter's purse!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

The eldest lady crossed her waist with one hand and pointed to the coarse cloth bag containing dry food on Mu Hu's horse's back: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense, what is this!" Isn't this my daughter's hand-embroidered purse? ”

Mu Hu's face was distorted, and his dry food bag was broken, so he picked up a gray cloth bag everywhere, is this actually a purse? Is it really okay to hang this huge thing on your waist?

There was a circle of people around him who were giggling and watching the excitement, Mu Hu glanced around, pointed to Xiao Shun not far away, and said, "Lao Tzu will give it back to you!" Give it back to you! You see that he looks good, you look for him to be a son-in-law, Lao Tzu has already married, and the babies have given birth to three. ”

The peasant woman glanced at Xiao Shun along Mu Hu's hand and frowned: "I want a son-in-law to do farm work, and you are so successful." As he spoke, he patted Mu Hu's waist and abdomen heavily, and smiled proudly, "My mother's family raises donkeys, I can see it accurately, you are so good at raising children." ”

"Poof-" There was a lot of laughter around, and Zhu Ruomei, who had come over to see the excitement, laughed very wildly, and Mu Hu was so red that he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

I didn't want the strong lady to see Zhu Ruomei in the crowd at a glance, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at him and shouted: "You, baby, just you!" I still have a daughter in my family who is not married. ”

Zhu Ruomei's face changed, and the girl ran away, causing a burst of laughter.

In the winter of the third year of Changshun, the Yanbei army reached the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Ping's vein is dead, and the current emperor is a little puppet that Yan Ding found out of the clan, and he is still a milk doll more than a year old. Even the Great Zhou court was divided into two factions, and many upright courtiers who were persecuted by the Yan Party felt that it was better to support the king of Hezhong than to let the Yan Party hold the blood of distant relatives of the royal family hostage and control the government.

General Zhu under Xiao Jingxi led people to raid the Yan Mansion on the day he entered the city, Yan Ding and his eldest son and grandson hid in the palace, and the other masters of the Yan family were captured alive. Yan Ding and his son saw that the general trend had gone, and they looted all the valuable things in the palace, and wanted to escape from the secret passage in the palace, but they did not want to bump into Li Tianyou, the prince of the river, who had been waiting at the exit of the secret passage, and the Yan father and son were both captured.

The Yanbei Army quietly took over the defense of the capital, and the people in the capital who were hiding at home did not know when the dynasty changed.

The traitorous party has been eliminated, and the next step is the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Although this Yanbei military mutiny, in the eyes of later generations, it can be regarded as a usurpation of the dynasty, but because the whole process is relatively gentle, so the courtiers at that time have not yet realized this problem, and when they saw the resignation of the Yan Party, they were naturally ready to support the king of Hezhong to succeed to the throne, after all, the king of Hezhong is also surnamed Li.

However, until the Yan Party was wiped out and order was restored to the capital, the king of Hezhong had no intention of ascending the throne, and gradually the courtiers felt that something was wrong.

In the first month of the fourth year of Changshun, the king of Hezhong took the lead in writing a book, imploring the king of Yanbei who had entered Beijing to ascend the throne at some point, and the Manchu dynasty was in an uproar.

Of course, some of the old and young remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty refused to be emperors from other families, but when they thought about resisting, they found that the entire capital was under the control of the Yanbei army.

On the eighth day of February in the fourth year of Changshun, the abolition of the emperor abdicated, Xiao Yan, the king of Yanbei, ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the country name to Ming, and set the year name as Jianyuan.

After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he established the original Yanbei King Zhengfei Yun as the queen, there is no suspense, the King of Yanbei only has such a wife. However, when he set up the crown prince next, Xiao Yan's behavior caused some controversy in later generations, because he did not set up his own sister-in-law, that is, his only son Xiao Jingxi as the prince, he set up his grandson Xiao Weiclumsy.

Xiao Jingxi was named the king of Yanbei after Xiao Yan ascended the throne and continued to guard the sixteen states of Yanyun.

After analyzing the history of this period, many scholars in later generations concluded that the reason why Xiao Yan did not establish a grandson was the result of mutual compromise between Yanbei and Hezhong.

Xiao Yan wants to be the emperor, but Li Gan doesn't want to? Compared with Xiao Yan, Li Gan is the dragon son and phoenix grandson of the Eight Classics, even if the relationship between the Yanbei Royal Mansion and the Hezhong Royal Mansion is good, in front of the throne, no matter how much friendship there is, it is a floating cloud, so why is it Xiao Yan who is the king of Yanbei who becomes the emperor in the end, instead of Li Gan, the king of the river? Is Li Qian really willing?

The first reason that later generations learned to come up with: Li Gan did not want to be the emperor, he was powerless.

The king of Yanbei has been operating in Yanbei for many years, and the army of Yanbei is strong and strong, and if you really want to talk about force, Li Gan can't beat the king of Yanbei. After all, the King of the River has not controlled the forces in the River for a few years, and there are not many people in his hands. So Li Qian has to know the current affairs, your own fists are not hard, what can you do in addition to giving hands to each other? .

Reason 2: The king of the river has no queen.

The king of the river and the princess only had a son and a daughter, and the son had been married for many years without any appearance, it is said that it was because he was poisoned by the Empress Dowager Yan back then, and even if the king of the river ascended to the throne without blood, he still had to establish the children of the clan as heirs in the end, so why bother? The only daughter married into Yanbei, and her granddaughter is still the daughter-in-law of Xiao Yan, the king of Yanbei, and the biological mother of Xiao Yan's own grandson, so the bloodline of the king of Hezhong is actually in the palace of Yanbei Wangfu.

Reason 3: This is the result of a compromise between the king of Yanbei and the king of Hezhong.

The queen of the river has no successor and is unable to ascend to the throne, rather than cheapening distant relatives who appeared out of nowhere, it is better to support his own great-grandson, after all, it is his own bloodline. The king of Yanbei also took a step back and set up a grandson but not a son to ensure the interests of the royal palace in the river. If Yan Bei Xiangru set up his son as the crown prince, who knows if the emperor's position will fall to the heir of the granddaughter of the prince of Hezhong in a few decades? Who knows how many little wives Xiao Jingxi will marry and have several sons?

Reason 4: Lao Tzu is fighting the country outside, and his son is picking up cheap in the back, is this a matter of course!

The sixteen states of Yanyun are the northern barrier of the Ming Dynasty, and the palace of Yanbei has guarded the northern frontier for several generations, and it cannot be given up no matter what, but at that time, there was no second person except Xiao Jingxi who could have the ability and reputation to hold the sixteen states of Yanyun. If someone else has a heavy army, Xiao Yan may still be worried, but if his son guards the country for his grandson, he is still worried. He, who is a grandfather, who has worked hard to carry the world's infamy, will not give it to his baby grandson in the future?

For all the above reasons, Xiao Jingxi became the king of Yanbei and left his princess and young son to stay in Yanbei, and his eldest son Ah Zhuo became the prince to pick up the cheap.

Yunyang City Yanbei Palace, Ren Yaoqi is teaching her five-year-old daughter Ah Wei to write, although Ah Yu is young but quiet and well-behaved, very her mother's style, little Ah Yu is her father's favorite palm pearl.

Xiao Jingxi walked in from outside and stood quietly to the side watching her daughter write.

"Daddy, you're blocking the light." Ah Yu raised her head, blinked her eyes and looked at her father softly.

Xiao Jingxi hurriedly got out of the way, sat down on the other side of her daughter, leaned over and kissed her little cheek: "I'm sorry, Daddy didn't pay attention." ”

Ah Yu smiled softly: "It's okay, daddy will pay attention next time." ”

Ren Yaoqi looked behind Xiao Jingxi, frowned, and said, "What about Ah Xuan?" Didn't you take him out to play? ”

Xiao Jingxi took his wife's hand while watching his daughter's strokes, and said calmly: "I'll let the stupid girl play with him." ”

When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he had a bad premonition in his heart, glared at Xiao Jingxi, and immediately stood up and walked out.

Ah Yu turned her head to look at her mother, then at her father, and criticized seriously: "Daddy, are you bullying your brother again?" Mother is going to be angry. ”

Xiao Jingxi smiled softly at her daughter: "Like things gather, so Daddy lets Ah Xuan play with the silly girl, isn't it good for Daddy to come and accompany you and your mother?" ”

The little aunt looked at her father's gaze with some sympathy: "Grandma and daddy say it's useless, mother says it's not good daddy, you're going to be bad, daddy, write and hide in the closet." ”

Ren Yaoqi went out of the house, and saw his youngest son from a distance, Ah Xuan, who was just two years old this year, and a behemoth with white flowers rolling in the grass, and from time to time it rolled into a ball, and his body was full of grass clippings.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi walking over, Ah Xuan smirked with drool: "Mother...... Play ......"

The stupid girl ran over and flattered her: "Whew-"

Ren Yaochi gritted his teeth: "Xiao Jingxi! ”

In the house, Xiao Jingxi's ears moved, and then calmly picked up her daughter and walked to the side door: "Auntie, Daddy will take you to play elsewhere." ”rs
