Chapter 43: The Royal Tale
An Xi lay lazily at home for several days, did not practice literature or martial arts, and listened to the girls chew the root of their tongues on the rocking chair newly compiled by An Rui all day long. After accumulating information little by little, she gradually sorted out the current situation and the complicated situation of Yu Yi'an's family
The Li Dynasty lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the implementation was a sub-feudal system, and An Xi also calculated a handful of years according to the sub-feudal system, and later found that this may be a parallel time and space, not the time and space of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties where she is located, because according to the records in the history books, only the Zhou Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty implemented the sub-feudal system, and the Li Dynasty has never heard of it that came out of nowhere.
The last emperor of the Li Dynasty was named Li Weiyue, a moody little tyrant. The father of the founding queen of the Li Dynasty, Yu, was made a vassal king by virtue of her father's daughter.
Since then, the successive queens of the Li Dynasty have all come from the line of King Yu, and it can be said that they are professional queens. It's just that when it was Li Weiyue's turn, he asked King Yu for a concubine, three concubines, and four girls in the mood for love, none of whom were named queens, and they all died unexpectedly, and they were all attendants when they died.
Attendants - to put it mildly, they are all the emperor's maids.
This is not the end, King Yu is afraid that the royal family will take care of his relatives to gain power, so he has long invited himself to the frontier fiefdom and stationed the frontier for the Li Dynasty for generations. In Li Weiyue's generation, he took the initiative to summon the little son of King Yu's family to Beijing, saying that he wanted to reward an official position, although the old King Yu felt that it was inappropriate, but he remembered that he had been on the border for many years, and there was no merit and hard work, not to mention that he had never made a high achievement, and he thought that there would be no accidents, so he let Yu Shizi enter Beijing with his sisters' wedding convoy, which was a wedding.
I went and didn't come back.
The capital and King Yu's fiefdom are far apart, and it was already half a month later when King Yu got the news. The guard threw himself to the ground, crying and telling the whole story.
After the prince of Yu Wang entered Beijing, he was detained and put in prison with people and cars, and the little emperor of the Li Dynasty sent him to the clean room as a eunuch, and he was sent to the military camp with blood on his lower body to reward those who had preferences for the three armies.
When the man was found, he was gone. The death was extremely unbearable, and the emperor ordered someone to throw him into a mass grave and feed him to the dogs, but he set up a mound for him in the royal mausoleum, and the tombstone read: Chief Yu of the military camp.
When Yu Shizi died, he was only nineteen years old.
The old prince vomited blood at that time, and lingered on the sickbed for a long time, he knew that the emperor of the Li Dynasty was alerting them to King Yu's lineage - even if he guarded the frontier, he couldn't support the army and respect himself, otherwise he had a way to kill his entire clan. It's just that the price of this vigilance is the life of his young son!
The little emperor will not do it for no reason, most likely because he got the will of the emperor to beat the Yu family. So the old prince warned the descendants of the whole clan to clamp their tails and be people, and not to ask the royal family to catch the handle again.
The old prince's illness has not been cured, and when he heard the news of his daughters' deaths in the spring of the following year, he died at that time. Before he died, he left his sons to admonish them, asking them to give up their fiefdoms and ban their titles, make civilian cloth clothes to live a good life, and no longer pollute the court.
But just when Queen Yu packed up her belongings and left the house, the old princess disappeared.
Everyone searched hard in the fief for half a month, and finally heard that the old princess knocked the drum in front of the palace gate in Beijing, and when the emperor appeared, she dressed herself in white and killed herself in front of the palace gate.
When everyone was kneeling in the direction of the capital sadly, the little maid came to report that the third prince had led a million soldiers to Kyoto, and left a sentence before leaving, saying that those who should not be foolish and loyal and filial piety, and tolerate the revenge of killing their mothers and fathers are all cowards.
Everyone felt guilty, but they didn't dare to avenge their parents and brothers like the third child. After months of psychological struggle, the eldest prince led the men to put on armor and prepare to follow the footsteps of the third child to seize Kyoto...... With millions of troops, I am afraid that there will be opposition to it for a long time.
When all the princes and brothers of Yu gathered at the gate of the palace, they only heard everyone shouting long live the emperor, and they knew that the world had changed hands.
The third prince, Yu Zhe, was already wearing a yellow robe and sat on the dragon chair, with the corpse of the young emperor Li Weiyue under his feet.
The new emperor ascended the throne and reformed the system, which was the first year of the Apocalypse, changed the Li Dynasty to the Dayu Dynasty, Feng Lao Yu Wang as the emperor, the old princess as the queen mother, and named the eldest son of King Xianyu Yu Qing as Prince Shen, and the second son of King Xianyu as Prince Shun - An Xi felt that the meaning of this title was too strong, and sure enough, after becoming a royal family, he would be afraid of his brothers - he would be crowned the queen of his wife Qi, the eldest son of Queen Qi was crowned the prince, and the rest of the princes who were young and less than a year old were crowned in order.
Also on September 8 of this year, the seventh prince Yu Yi'an was born.
And An Yan, as Yu Zhe's staff and military adviser when he was in the dragon, was named prime minister on the third day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the prime minister's wife Liu Qingqing was the first edict of the dynasty. General Qin, the first military general under Yu Zhe, was named the general of Zhenguo.
An Xi felt that Yu Zhe wanted the two families of An Yu to check and balance each other, and who knew that General Qin, who was not worthy of being a father, had already been burned to the west by the two of them.
Yu Zhe also did a popular and charming incident - according to the princess and the sweeping girl around the Liu family, Yu Zhe raised the youngest princess of the former emperor Li Weiyue, who was only three years old, as the eldest princess, saying that he wanted to wait for the concubine to be crowned as revenge.
What about loss.
Yu Zhe did what he said, and now Concubine Li, who lives in the cold palace in the palace, is the princess of the previous dynasty.
Today's emperor is already middle-aged, and the kings in history are often reluctant to give up power at this age, one is unwilling to have an incident like the nine sons seizing the heir, and the other is not to accept the old.
Therefore, no matter which prince wants to succeed to the throne, he will need to marry the daughter of the minister of the court, so as to unite the ministers and gain support in the previous dynasty. The most eye-catching are the two young founding heroes of Prime Minister An and General Qin.
General Qin is dead, and Qin Ayang is still difficult to take on the big responsibility, so An Xi can be said to be hot among the princes.
The current emperor has six princes and two princesses. The late prince Yu Yirang was born to Queen Rongqi, and he was crowned the crown prince as soon as he ascended the throne early, and he was very smart when he was young, and he not only crippled his leg but also became stupid after a serious illness.
The second prince Yu Yichen is insidious and cunning, and he can only see benefits.
The third prince Yu Yiran was cowardly and stupid, relying on his mother and sister and the fourth princess to live, which was useless.
The five princes are wandering around, and they have no intention of participating in the battle for the throne, and they have not returned to the capital for several years.
The sixth prince is a carefree person who has no proper shape, and he has no right to speak in front of the emperor.
The seventh prince Yu Yi'an was rumored to be born of a cheating affair between the palace daughter and the guards because of the wrong month when he was a child, and he was not favored since he was a child, and he was bullied, and in recent years, his power has become bigger and bigger, and many officials have voted under the command of the seventh prince.
The eighth princess is a concubine, who was raised by a gentle and courteous manner, An Xi has a very good impression of this beautiful and dignified sister, and she also helped An Xi at the palace banquet last time.
The maids and ladies seemed to have figured out Anxi's habits, and if they had anything to do, they all ran over to her and told her about the royal secrets they knew.
It's just that no matter how many secrets there are, it's not a bottomless pit, there is always a bottom, and within a few days, Anxi got tired of hearing stories with too high repetition rates, and sent them to work elsewhere.
Lazily turned over and lay on his side on the comfortable rocking chair, Yu Yi'an's eyes couldn't help but start to appear in front of him again.
Cold and full of feelings.
Now almost everyone knows that Yu Yi'an wants to ask to marry the flamboyant and domineering prime minister's concubine An Xi, so they are looking forward to coming down to the palace to give the marriage will. This even includes Anxi herself.
Unexpectedly, the will was brought by the big eunuch beside the queen mother to the door of the Qingxi Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening of that day, but unexpectedly it was not the will to give marriage.
