This battle lasted longer than expected.

After a year of scuffle, the initial rebel army was basically wiped out, and the world was divided by several forces.

Beixiang sent troops and first confronted King Kang.

In another year, King Kang was defeated, and when he fled, he was beheaded by King Kang's sons and guards.

King Kang took the remnants of the army, but it lasted for two months before he was wiped out by Beixiang.

At the same time, a rebellious army invaded the capital, and the people of the Ping Wangfu fled. King Ping died on the way, King Ping's son was captured, and the new emperor was missing.

Fortunately, the Beixiang Department arrived in time to recapture the capital, and did not humiliate the queen mother and the eldest princess.

After this incident, the queen mother was frightened and sick, and the eldest princess was regent and supervised the country.

In the following three years, the south and the north fought wars, and the world gradually calmed down.

The last force was defeated, and Lou Yi, the king of Beixiang, returned to Jingdeng Hall and knelt in front of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess asked coldly, "What is the prince doing?" Where can this palace stand your knees? ”

Lou Yi said: "His Royal Highness can afford it, in the whole world, only His Highness can afford it." ”

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”

was rescued by Beixiang at the beginning, and she was naturally grateful in her heart. But in the past three years, when the throne was vacant, Lou Yi was silent, and he had no intention of setting up another emperor at all, which can tell his thoughts.

As the princess of the dynasty, the only remaining bloodline of the imperial branch, seeing that the ministers are strong and the lords are weak, and the emperor is about to fall, how can she feel good? The two sides inevitably turned to each other.

In fact, she knew in her heart that this Jiangshan Yao family could not be saved, and everyone in the world was watching to see how Lou Yi took away this throne. Like those people in the history books, choose another puppet and play the trick of Zen Rang?

However, Lou Yi didn't think so. He said: "At the beginning, the ancestors swore allegiance to the Yao family, and now there is only Her Royal Highness the princess left in the imperial family, and Her Royal Highness is the lord of Beixiang." ”

The eldest princess was stunned, and an incredible thought came to her.

"What the hell do you want to do? Make it clear! ”

Lou Yi looked at her with his head high, and said word by word clearly: "Beixiang is willing to serve His Highness as the king and help His Highness ascend to the pole!" ”

He spoke out.

The eldest princess took a step back and sat down in her seat.

After a while, she asked, "Who came up with this idea?" Floor four? ”

"It's me!" Concubine Beixiang was so dusty that she didn't even take off her armor, she walked in and said, "Yao Fengdie, don't think we're forcing you, this result is the only thing we can accept." ”

The eldest princess was silent for a moment, then suddenly snorted and scolded: "Huo Rudan, you don't fool me!" You have the brains to come up with such an idea? It must be Lou Si, right? ”

Lou Yan, who walked in with Concubine Beixiang, first smiled and saluted her, and then replied: "Don't be angry, mother-in-law, let's open the skylight and say something, Beixiang has worked hard for so long, it is impossible to accept someone who doesn't know where to take the victory fruit and bow down to him, right?" ”

The eldest princess said in her heart, who doesn't know about this? Otherwise, everyone in the world is waiting for Lou Yi to usurp the throne?

"So, we talked it over. Like my mother said, if this person is you, we can accept it. ”

The eldest princess endured it, but she couldn't hold back in the end, and scolded: "What are you kidding? Let's not talk about how shocking the world is that a woman is the emperor, I have no prestige, I can't serve the public, I have no cronies, I can't support a court, how can I ascend the throne? Besides, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and I don't even have a child, how can Chaogang be stable? You came up with this kind of idea, and you still say that you didn't force me? ”

Lou Yan shook his head: "What my stepmother said is not right. ”

"What's wrong?"

Lou Yan said: "In the past three years, my stepmother has been in charge of the country, how can I say that I have no prestige? The people of the world have become accustomed to the eldest princess representing the chamber branch, and if they go further, although they will be surprised, they will not be unacceptable. Besides, the cronies, aren't we? Zheng Guogong: Isn't it? The Yu family, isn't it? We can't afford it? ”

Concubine Beixiang and Lou Yi nodded in unison.

"As for the heir, it's even simpler, choose one or a few from the clan to come over, and teach it from a young age, and you don't believe in it. The stepmother will now be half a hundred, in good health, and as long as she lives for another twenty years, she will be able to teach. ”

“……”

The eldest princess sighed and said, "Actually, this palace knows in her heart that the fortune of the country is extinct, and it is time for the throne to be replaced." Beixiang pacifies the world and has great achievements, who else but you? Maybe when you first ascend the throne, there will be criticism, but after a long time, it will naturally become orthodox. You don't have to be like that. ”

Concubine Beixiang was displeased: "Do you think we are doing something?" ”

"No, but ......"

Lou Yi cut off her words: "Your Highness, I said earlier that the ancestors swore allegiance to the Yao family. This is a promise, as long as there are still people in the Yao family alive, we will keep the promise. Now the Yao family is the only one alive, so we are willing to be loyal to you. Until this promise expires, Beixiang will not be the emperor. ”

The eldest princess had a complicated expression.

After a long time, she asked, "So, aren't you afraid of human speech?" ”

Lou Yi smiled and brought out the eyes of the ministers: "Over the years, when has Beixiang not been talked about?" My father, my grandfather, which one is not guarded? If we were afraid, we would not have sent troops. ”

Concubine Beixiang said more directly: "I'm afraid of a fart!" When someone says a few ugly words, can they have less meat? Why don't you do it? If you do it, we will help you ascend the throne, and when you sit firmly in the country, we will go back to Beixiang and guard the northern border as well. ”

The eldest princess didn't speak for a long time.

Faced with the three people in front of her, she believed it.

They're really for that promise.

The Lou family kept her promise like this, which made her feel better, and she was not so unwilling in her heart.

In the final analysis, the severance of their own bloodline comes first, and the Lou family pacifies the world later, not the throne that was snatched from them.

"Alright! As soon as the palace is old, he has long lost his heart, and he is impatient to govern the country. I gave up this promise on behalf of Yao. You, choose a day to be the emperor. ”

The eldest princess said that, her heart was stunned, she didn't want to say anything more, and turned around and walked inside.

Behind him, the mother and son of the Lou family made a respectful salute for the last time: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is a thousand years old." ”

……

In the fifth year of the early Jing Dynasty, the world was pacified, and the king of Beixiang Lou Yi was called the emperor, and the year name was Yuanxi.

His mother, Huo, was the queen mother, and his brother Lou Yan was King Jing.

After the enthronement ceremony, Lou Yan returned to his former residence in the capital.

The emperor did not give another mansion, and the plaque of Jingwang's mansion was hung directly here.

At this moment, someone is standing at the door, holding a cute girl with Yuxue waiting for him.

"Daddy!" When the girl saw him, she rushed over.

Lou Yan smiled, picked her up, and said to the man: "I'm back." ”

Ji Yun nodded: "Hmm." ”

"The world is settled, let's go back to Songhai."

There seemed to be tears in Chi Yun's eyes, but there was a smile on his face: "Okay." ”
