Chapter 6 Building on Success

At the age of seven, he began to hunt with the emperor.

As he grew older, he grew into a beautiful young man, with eyebrows and eyes like his mother, handsome and beautiful, like his father, tall and heroic, with outstanding spirits and full of energy, and immediately became a leader among men.

And martial arts refinement, horsemanship, swordsmanship, drawing a bow and archery ......, everything is in the line, at the age of fifteen, he is already a young hero, the whole capital, including the prince, there is no one who is the right.

It was in this year, for some reason, Ling Zixu's temperament changed greatly, and he suddenly became cynical, and searched for beauties everywhere, claiming to collect all the beauties in the world for him to enjoy.

The child is older, and his mind is also big, although the emperor watched him grow up, but at this time it is not easy to take care of it, it is light, obviously useless, heavy, and afraid of colding the hearts of a group of old ministers, after all, he is the son of Ling Feichu, and many old ministers used to be Ling Feichu's descendants.

Between hesitations, another two years passed.

In the past two years, Ling Zixu's mother, Ling Feichu's widow, Li Cihua, who was named Mrs. Yipin by the emperor, beat Ling Zixu a lot, and in the end, she used a whip to open the skin of Ling Zixu and faint to death.

Li Cihua felt sorry for his son, thinking that he had been beaten to death, and cried and grabbed the ground.

The emperor was also shocked when he got the news, only the imperial doctor sent several stubbles, and the precious supplements were sent over like water, after all, he watched the children grow up, and he personally raised the children for a few years.

In the end, he was too worried, so he ran over in person, saw Ling Zixu's injury, and even scolded Li Cihua a few words, so scared that Li Cihua didn't dare to fight anymore.

Since then, Ling Zixu has restrained a lot, but there are times when he makes mistakes.

Soon, there was a war on the border of Shu, and the eighteen-year-old Ling Zixu was sent to the battlefield by the emperor, saying that he wanted to polish him, but in fact, he wanted him to gain fame, after all, he was not his own son, his own son could be crowned king when he was underage, and the emperor who had always raised Ling Zixu as his own son could only plan for Ling Zixu here.

When Ling Zixu arrived on the battlefield, he was fighting for energy, winning battles in a row, being a pioneer, capturing enemy generals, shocking the Quartet, and gaining fame, so he rose steadily, and became a general at the age of twenty.

As a general, he has to open a government and build a mansion, and he has to marry a wife and take a concubine, so when he was twenty years old, he did all these things, and it was in line with his nature.

His mother Li Cihua knew that her son was no longer up to her, so she just put forward a condition, you can accept a concubine as much as you want, but this wife must have the final say.

So there were thousands of choices, and it is said that the emperor also participated and made suggestions, and as a result, Feng Yun, the eldest daughter of Feng Juqing, the real power figure of Shu, was selected.

The reason why Feng Yun stood out was that she dared to attack from all sides.

In order to marry Ling Zixu, he forced his son Feng Juqing to praise her like a flower in front of the emperor, and let her aunt Feng Guifei blow the wind next to the emperor's pillow, saying that she was simply a heavenly girl.

At the banquet held by Li Cihua called the banquet for the wives and ladies of the princes and nobles, who actually chose a wife for his son Ling Zixu, he behaved generously and decently, stood out, and won the first place.

Because of the role of all parties, Feng Yun finally married into the General's Mansion as she wished and became the general's wife.

Ling Zixu behaved very calmly, it didn't matter to him who was the general's wife, as long as his mother liked it, as long as the emperor agreed, he would have fulfilled his filial piety.

The wedding banquet of the imperial gift really became a major spectacle in the capital at that time, and the luxury was no less than the wedding ceremony of the prince.

At that time, at the banquet, the old ministers were moved to tears, saying that such a pomp warmed the hearts of the old ministers, indicating that the emperor was the most affectionate, "the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden" This ancient saying does not exist in our dynasty.

The emperor actually fell into a good reputation for nostalgia.

Not long after the wedding, there was a war on the border between Shu and Chen, and Chen Guojun personally recruited it, saying that he wanted to avenge the revenge of the year.

Soon took away the two cities, and the emperor of Shu thought about it and sent Ling Zixu to the expedition.

This time, he was directly named the generalissimo, and he also sent some old ministers to give him advice with the army, saying that the residual power of his last victory was still there, and killing the enemy on the battlefield relied on momentum, and only he could sweep away the prestige of Chen Guo.

In fact, the emperor's other meaning is to let him go to gilding, so that he can be crowned king, which is also what his eight-worship friend Ling Feichu deserved back then, he didn't get it and returned to the west, this honor can only be given to his son, which also counts the wish of Emperor Si Chong.

This time he was crowned king, shocked the government and the opposition, and there were many discussions, and it also shocked his group of old ministers, and they began to ponder in private. Ponder and ponder. I don't think this is right, the king, and the first king with a different surname, this is not thinking about the old ministers, according to their understanding, this is to roast these old ministers on the fire.

After thinking about it again, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't dare to say it clearly, let alone discuss the rights and wrongs of the emperor, so I had to pretend to be stupid one by one, and I didn't know what to ask.

The newly promoted courtiers, or the ministers who came later, originally wanted to persuade the emperor, but seeing that those old ministers were shrinking turtles, they thought it was exactly what they wanted, and thought that this was the emperor's expedient measure to appease the laid-off old ministers, and finally chose to protect themselves and not touch the mold, so they just discussed it in private, and no one dared to go to the emperor's side to talk nonsense.

It is also very common for King Pingnan to have no heirs, since he opened the mansion and built the government, he has been at home for less than half a year, and he has been fighting outside all the year round, and there are so many concubines, I am afraid that there are not many opportunities to sleep.

Therefore, these women are looking forward to this time, when the prince Ling Zixu comes back, he can completely settle down, and they will have hope.

Just when everyone was talking to me, teasing and laughing with each other, and making noise, I saw Yiming, the personal maid next to Feng Yun, walking out of the Splendid Palace.

"The princess has an order, everyone doesn't have to say hello today, go back to sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, clean up the room, tomorrow the prince will come back, when the time comes, give me some spirits, everyone knows the temper of the prince, now is not as good as before, some people's style should be changed, everyone should be solemn, steady, the prince is happy, the reward is naturally indispensable to everyone, go back and wait for the good news!"

Everyone cheered, scattered, and hurried back to clean the courtyard, ready to welcome the prince home.
