In the capital, many people know that it is a bit difficult for the emperor to sit on the dragon chair today.

However, only a small percentage of the population knows the truth.

These very few people are not ordinary people, they are all old ministers of the DPRK and China.

Before Xue Wenyu was wrongfully accused of colluding with the deceased King Ning's subordinates, the Ning King Zhou Yi who intended to make trouble was the uncle of the current emperor Zhou Zhi'an.

Zhou Zhi'an's father, Zhou Ming, is a kind-hearted Ming monarch who has reigned for decades, and there is always something in his heart that is difficult to let go.

That is, when his father planned to make the third prince Zhou Pingyi the crown prince, Zhou Ming's ears softened, listened to his grandfather's persuasion, did a bad thing, and framed the third emperor brother Zhou Yi, so that he became the prince as he wished.

Later, Zhou Ming found that the Third Emperor Brother knew the whole story, but he did not have the slightest dissatisfaction and resentment towards him. On the contrary, he secretly helped him everywhere and solved some major matters that the ministers were helpless for.

Then, except for the concubine who gave birth to a son and a daughter, the other concubines had nowhere to go.

Zhou Ming ordered someone to find out if it was the means of the three emperor sisters-in-law, but the result of the fact was that the three emperor brothers let the women around them take the Juezi soup. That soup is very poisonous, and after drinking it, the woman will be infertile for life, and there is no antidote.

Only then did Zhou Ming understand that the purpose of the Third Emperor Brother was to make a dragon chair with peace of mind.

This incident made Zhou Ming blame himself all the time and regret the decision he made back then.

So, at a Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, Zhou Ming drunkenly said a word to the third emperor brother Zhou Yi, and he would appoint Zhou Yi'an, the son of Zhou Yi, as the crown prince one day.

Zhou Yi didn't take this drunken sentence seriously, but someone took it seriously, that is, Zhou Zhi'an, who was still the prince at the time.

Because, the ministers in the court, as well as all the people around him, felt that he was the only choice of the prince.

After the banquet, he returned to his dormitory, and not long after, his mother and grandfather came to him.

His heart was in turmoil that night, and although he was not very old, he knew what he wanted most.

And my grandfather also said that this kind of thing should not be careless, and it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Moreover, this kind of thing can't be done, who dares to guarantee that the son of King Ning will sit on the dragon chair one day and will not attack him?

Zhou Zhiping immediately made up his mind and decided to defend what belonged to him at all costs.

So one summer after the following year, King Ning took the princesses out of Beijing to escape the summer, and on the night of the third day of the summer resort, there was an accident in the villa.

Inside and outside the villa, from King Ning to the gatekeeper, two hundred and thirty-two people were brutally murdered, and the two who survived, a maid by Princess Ning's side, and one who fed the horses in the villa, the two were also seriously injured, and several imperial doctors treated them, but they still failed to let the two survive.

The two complained that they were attacked in the middle of the night that night, and all the people who came were masked men in black armor, and they didn't say anything, they just killed and killed.

The first emperor Zhou Ming was furious and ordered the three divisions to investigate quickly.

Then there was only one result, the black armor on the masked man, which is said to be the standard configuration of the Praetorian Guard of the Western Xiang Kingdom.

However, some people also expressed suspicion that although Xixiang has been making trouble on the border for many years, he has never penetrated into the country. Come back, just to kill King Ning's family to vent his anger?

In fact, at that time, some people suspected that it was the prince Zhou Zhiping who did it, after all, there were many ministers present at the palace banquet that day. Emperor Zhou Ming's drunken words were heard by many people.

However, this suspicion is simply unspeakable and somewhat untenable.

Because, King Ning's family went to escape the summer, and Zhou Zhiping's mother Xuan Guifei and eldest son Zhou Minhuan also followed, and they were also killed in the villa.

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, no matter how ruthless Zhou Zhiping is, he will not even be able to give up his biological mother and son.

There has been no progress in the bloody case in the mountain villa, and it is still a mystery to this day. As for the pot, it was on Xixiang's body for the time being, but there was no reaction from the other side.

Didn't admit it, didn't deny it!

The first emperor Zhou Ming, because of the royal brother's family, his favorite concubine, the emperor's grandson died tragically, depressed all day long, fell ill half a year later, and decreed that Zhou Zhiping was the crown prince, died the following year, and the crown prince Zhou Zhiping ascended the throne in the same year, and the country was called An.

Xue Wenyu was thirteen years old and even in the middle of the third yuan, although he was the youngest new champion in Yanguo, he officially entered the court as an official at the age of sixteen, and it has been nine years since this year.

Although Xue Wenyu had not yet entered the court as an official when King Ning had an accident, the fifteen-year-old still had a deep impression of that incident. Although I have only met King Ning a few times, I feel that King Ning is approachable.

Especially when a natural disaster occurred in Yanguo, King Ning did not donate silver and soup porridge in a big way like other imperial relatives and ministers, but sold the property in a very low-key manner, and handed over the silver to the local temple to help the victims.

Xue Wenyu regarded King Ning as a role model and admired him very much, so he vowed in his heart that one day he would find out the tragedy of the year and give justice to King Ning's family.

He is indeed investigating, although he is not sure who is behind the tragedy, but the general direction is still there.

In the past few years, as the results of the investigation have become closer and closer to the truth, Xue Wenyu has become more and more contradictory, he doesn't know what to do if it is really like that?

Even now, on the way to the ghost city, he has learned that the child is fine, his mood has not calmed down, and he is still irritable.

In less than three years since leaving the capital, the capital has been in turmoil! Some things can't be covered up for a long time after all! Looking at the road ahead, he let out a long sigh on horseback.

The matter of Sego has been temporarily subsided, but the place where the road back to his hometown leads is likely to be another battlefield for him.

He was born and raised in that place, but there is no home for him now.

When he felt extremely desolate, Xue Wenyu somehow appeared a figure.

The woman who obviously has a strong family, but still can't rely on it.

She lost her parents at a young age, grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and was taken back to the house by her uncle, who was a taishou, but because she had usable value.

She knew that she could not see grief, and she could still seek greater benefits for herself in that situation.

In order to get greater benefits and live a better life in the future, she did not hesitate to be a 'widow'.

Even if she entered the Xue family and knew that he, the groom, was still alive, she didn't panic too much.

was placed in that remote courtyard, grounded, she did not cry and wipe her tears, and knelt down to beg for help.

Seeing the boiled vegetables in the sky, she is also so content.

What about yourself? Although the situation is not very good, but she has a lot more than her, so what are you sad about here? Can't even compare to her as a little woman?

If you let her know that she is like this, she will definitely laugh and look down on her, right?

Thinking of this, Xue Wenyu ordered to stop advancing and rest in place......
