If you want to talk about the prince of Xiyan, you have to say his father, Prince Gong. 8

Prince Gong is the younger brother of today's saint, he has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is capable of both civil and military affairs, among which he is the most exquisite in martial arts, and he became famous in a war when he was young. He entered the army at the age of sixteen and became a famous general in Yingguo in less than five years, holding the greatest military power in Yingguo.

In fact, today's saint was not the most regarded among the many princes, although he was outstanding in all aspects, he was not a concubine after all, and there were not many people who supported him, and in the end, he was able to sit on the throne as he wished, and Prince Gong contributed a lot.

Of course, the emperor is not an ungrateful person, when he was knighted as a meritorious hero, he was crowned a waiting king in one go, and he was given 100,000 fiefs and five cities, which can be described as fame and fortune. But Prince Gong was not here, and he turned away all the fame and rewards, and resolutely returned to his favorite battlefield.

The emperor couldn't dissuade him, so Yu Li and Yu personally named him a Prince Gong as compensation. 8

The emperor ascended the throne for more than 20 years, and Prince Gong also guarded the territory for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, two months ago, the border city of neighboring Jiang launched a group attack on Yingguo, killing and injuring dozens of people, and everyone there complained.

At the beginning, Prince Gong thought that it was not a big deal, and Jiang Guoyingguo had been friends for decades and could not impulsively use force to destroy the friendship between the two countries, so he secretly swallowed this evil breath. But the people of Jiang Guo thought that Yingguo was afraid of them, and as time went by, it became even worse, which made the people there panic. Zuihou, Prince Gong couldn't bear to lead the troops to quell the chaos.

The national strength of the Ying State is much stronger than that of the neighboring Jiang State, and the Ying State is not afraid of the military force, but the generals of the Jiang State are very shameless, they did not attack head-on, but found a local child of a few years old to poison Prince Gong, Prince Gong was kind and could not be prepared, Zuihou died, leaving a wife and a son.

Later, the emperor of Jiang was afraid that the two countries would really fight, and the gains outweighed the losses, so he cut down the two generals who fought with Prince Gong, sent countless treasures, and wrote a letter of apology as an apology, so Zuihou calmed down.

The news of Prince Gong's poisoning and death reached Kyoto, and Princess Gong couldn't stand the blow for a while, so she raised her sword and cut her neck on the same day, leaving the four-year-old son of Xiyan in the world.

After the death of the master, Prince Gong's house fell and the birds scattered, and the queen mother lost her beloved son and pitied the pity of Xiyan Shizi, and planned to bow down to raise Xiyan Shizi after a month of filial piety. But the queen mother is over sixty years old, she is old, her mental strength is weak, and the emperor can't bear to work hard day and night.

To be honest, this is a thankless trip, it is better to say that it is a trust, in fact, it is better to say that it is a pass, in fact, if it is a succession, it is not a loss, the adopter has an extra son, and the name of the adopter is also the name of the adopter. But this matter is more special, the queen mother can't bear to cut off the only bloodline of the child, so she gave Xiyan Shizi a choice, saying that if he wants to recognize his father when he is old, he can still do it. In other words, the adopter not only needs to provide food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, but also has to work hard to keep the truth from the population, and the result is that he may not get anything.

Therefore, even when the emperor asked about this drudgery, no one said that he was willing.

And zuihou somehow, someone thought of the second prince who had no wife and no children, and was disabled, and the emperor asked the second prince about the wishes of the second prince at the moment, and it was not easy for the second prince to say that the saint himself said, and zuihou was so decided. Although some people think that the second prince has a bad reputation and a cruel temperament, and it is not appropriate to entrust Prince Gong's orphans to him, it is rare for anyone to agree, and no one dares to be critical after that
