"In the summer of the fourteenth year of Changping Wang Renhuai, His Majesty attacked Yao Yangjun today, led the Xiaoyuan army to the rebellion of the Beiyuan Alliance, returned to Beijing, and the crown prince was in turmoil, and united with the nobles to advise the king of Changping to take the political situation and the people's security as the priority, and ask the rebels, the king of Changping repented, and then convicted the prince and the prince of Xiaoshan for the crime of rebellion, and restored the position of the prince of Yaoyang, in October of the same year, the king of Changping could not manage the government because of illness, and Chan was located in the prince."

An Jin heard his brother Yu Feng suddenly mention the "military advice" of the King of Xiliang back then, so he almost didn't spill the tea in his hand.

Of course, her surprise was not aimed at her brother knowing about this old case, in fact, when she asked her relatives to marry far away, Yu Feng informed the king of Xiliang to kill the prince to "persuade" Jun, reminding An Jin that he should avoid taboos, and An Jin married into Xiliang, and listened to Yiyangjun talk about this old case in detail.

When the queen of Changping gave birth to her eldest son, she suffered a difficult birth and almost died, and it was easy for the mother and child to be safe, on the same day, the Gongye Hall was suddenly hit by a fire, so that the king of Changping rushed to the Gongye Hall because of his anxiety, fell on the way, broke his ankle, and the half moon was difficult to walk, and it was precisely for this reason that the king and queen of Changping have always been not so fond of the eldest son, thinking that he was ominous.

Therefore, King Changping abolished the position of the eldest prince back then, and it was not only the reason why his son decided to marry his "aunt".

That's just the fuse.

King Changping abolished the position of the eldest son and put him under house arrest, and forced the eldest son to marry the niece of a small nobleman from the harem, with obvious intentions, which was to completely deprive the eldest son of the qualification to succeed to the throne.

Helpless Renhuai ten years, the North Yuan and the Southwest Alliance launched a war against the West Liang, although the King of Changping timely dispatched troops, but the defeat and retreat, the iron cavalry of the coalition army went straight into the West Liang border pass, forcing Dajing.

King Changping himself is quite good at wine, let the government control state affairs, except for an eldest son who has been cold since childhood, he is quite strict with himself, fifteen or sixteen years old to go to the border army to experience, the army, and later was established as the second son of the prince and the youngest son Xiaoshan Dajun all inherited the habits of his father, are incompetent.

Under such circumstances, even the political council of the three alliances went to the king of Changping, asking the eldest son to lead the troops to resist the coalition army and save Xiliang from the general collapse.

Therefore, Wanzhang escaped from the Forbidden Garden, was named Yao Yangjun by King Changping, and led the general to go on the expedition.

After four years of hard fighting, Wanzhang led the soldiers back victorious.

The prince and the prince of Xiaoshan were afraid that their brother's power would "turn over", so they persuaded King Changping to kill Yao Yangjun, who had made great contributions to protecting the country.

Later, of course, Wanzhang won a complete victory, invaded Dajing, first entered the prince's mansion, captured the two younger brothers of the prince and Xiaoshan Dajun and put them in prison, forced them to fear the crime, and then led the Xiaoyuan army to attack the palace, forcing the king of Changping to convict and execute the two younger brothers.

It was an obvious coup d'état, and Wan Zhang eventually took the throne.

It is true that Wanzhang has a reason that he has no choice but to do, and the facts have proved that he is indeed more suitable than King Changping and his two younger brothers to lead Xiliang to the road of strengthening the country, but his rebellion against the king and forcing the palace, unfilial piety and injustice are also dirty pens that cannot be erased, and His Majesty may not be haunted by it today.

As the granddaughter of King Xiliang, Princess Jin Yuan must also mind her grandfather's disgraceful history, and she should not like to mention it to the world.

An Jin didn't understand that this matter had nothing to do with rescuing Yijing from trouble, why did the eldest brother suddenly mention it, wouldn't it make Jin Yuan unhappy?

She couldn't help but secretly look at Jin Yuan's expression, and her heart was extremely uneasy.

But although Jin Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't know why the King of Chu mentioned the old thing, but he didn't look ashamed, and he still listened to him.

Of course, Yu Feng would not comment on the merits and demerits of King Xiliang, and continued: "When Your Majesty suppressed the rebellion, he almost razed the prince's mansion to the ground, and the palace of Xiliang was also damaged in many places. ”

In fact, the palace guards guarding the palace city were almost wiped out, and the Qing and Hu clans were also burned, and the three surnamed clans were all in the hands of Wanzhang.

"After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he personally supervised the construction of the palace city, restored the prince's mansion, and recruited craftsmen from all over Xiliang, after more than five years." Yu Feng continued: "When the Prince's Mansion was rebuilt, there was an accident, the artisan camp caught fire, and more than 100 people died, most of whom were conscripted by Xiaoshan County. ”

Speaking of which, Yu Feng held up the teacup and ended the topic.

An Jin was completely in a fog and didn't know her brother's intentions.

But Princess Jin Yuan obviously understood something, and her expression finally became solemn.

"Decades ago, I don't want the King of Chu to know everything."

Yu Feng smiled disappreciatively: "Such trivial matters are not important politics, and it doesn't sound difficult to fight." ”

Of course, it refers to the death of craftsmen due to the fire, not the vigorous coup d'état launched by King Xiliang that year.

When An Jin was still sitting, Princess Jin Yuan had already gotten up: "It's indeed a trivial matter, but only the King of Chu can understand it, after these words, Jin Yuan is convinced of what King Chu Shicai said, indeed, Xiliang didn't dare to ensure that he avoided the extraordinary move of King Chu...... However, today's meeting with the King of Chu is really hasty, and Jin Yuan is difficult to decide, and the King of Chu needs to be graced. ”

"Thank you, princess."

Jin Yuan frowned: "If I return to Dajing immediately, what does the King of Chu want?" ”

"Congratulations, and wait for the princess's good news."

This means that Yu Feng has no intention of restricting Princess Jin Yuan's movements, and it seems that he has no intention of leaving immediately.

Jin Yuan's expression eased down, but he really couldn't smile in return, so he only bowed his knees and said to An Jin for a while, and then said to An Jin: "Presumably, sister-in-law has already arranged a place for Jin Yuan to live, and there is work." ”

An Jin came back to her senses completely, and probably understood that Jin Yuan was showing sincerity to her brother, saying that she would really consider it carefully, and there was no malicious intent, and she also asked Yu Feng to calm down, but An Jin racked her brains and didn't think through the conversation between her brother and Jin Yuan just now, which seemed to have nothing to do with rescuing Yijing, what was hidden.

In the end, it was Princess Jin Yuan's generous revelation of the mystery that made An Jin feel like an empowered.

"The reason why my grandfather was victorious in the Renhuai Revolution was that he first took his great-grandfather and two uncles into his hands." Jin Yuan did not shy away from the old case, which was obviously unexpected by An Jin again: "If the two uncles get out safely, it will inevitably affect the situation, if the great-grandfather still has freedom, he will not be willing to compromise, although the three surnames were coerced back then, the reason for the final compromise was nothing more than seeing that the great-grandfather and uncle could not protect themselves, so they were willing to cooperate with the grandfather." ”

Jin Yuan shook his head slowly: "The King of Chu deliberately mentioned the old case to imply that he has insight into it, and my grandfather won and was able to succeed to the throne, so he will inevitably learn from the defeat of his great-grandfather and uncle to prevent the recurrence...... Therefore, when my grandfather supervised the construction of the palace, he left a secret passage to get out of trouble in case of danger, and at the same time, there was also a secret passage when rebuilding the prince's palace. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Yuan sighed again: "This is the secret of my Xiliang royal family, I think no one knows, but I don't expect that the king of Chu can expect it only by rebuilding the prince's mansion by burning more than 100 craftsmen in a fire, as well as analyzing the key to the victory or defeat of Renhuai's change, and speculating on his grandfather's mentality." ”

The reason why it is called a secret passage cannot be known by outsiders, but the construction of the secret passage of course depends on manpower, and these laborers will naturally be unable to escape the disaster after the secret passage is built.

"The first father is the only son of my grandfather, he was just born and was made the crown prince, the secret road map of the prince's mansion was naturally given to the father by His Majesty, the father died unexpectedly, and there was no child under his knees, although my grandfather had intended to let Qinghejun succeed to the throne, but he has not been appointed as a prince, let alone let him move to the prince's mansion, after the Qinghejun conspiracy to assassinate the crime of the ancestor was exposed, and he was given death, so the king of Chu expected that the secret road map of the prince's mansion was not surprising in my hands." Jin Yuan shook his head frequently, his expression solemn: "But what surprises me is, why is the King of Chu sure that I have never given the secret path map to my cousin?" ”

Yu Feng made a special trip to say those words in response to Jin Yuan's concern that Jin Yuan was unwilling to help Yijing get out and offend the Maharaja for separation, which was nothing more than a hint that as long as Jin Yuan was willing to provide the entrance to the secret passage, he would be able to rescue Yijing without being suspicious of the Maharaja, of course, he believed that the Maharaja did not know that there was a secret passage in the original Prince's Mansion and the current Maharaja's Mansion.

An Jin can naturally think of this, and can't help but secretly wonder, it seems that the princess is still wary of the monarch, and she is not as wholeheartedly trusted as she seems to be.

Jin Yuan seemed to see through An Jin's thoughts, and smiled lightly: "I'm not guarding against my cousin, but Your Majesty has an order to conceal it temporarily, because when my cousin just returned to Xiliang, His Majesty was still hesitant about the storage position, but my cousin has made a great contribution this time, and His Majesty has made a decision, but because of the dispute between the two surnames and the nobles that followed, he didn't take it into account for a while, but the King of Chu just grasped the opportunity." ”

These words made An Jin's heart beat like a pound, and she couldn't help but ask: "Jin Yuan is straightforward with me, is it that he has decided to help my brother?" ”

"I believe that what the King of Chu said is true, if I reject him, I can only force him to do extraordinary things, not to hide from An Jin, I didn't think that the King of Chu had this ability at first, the new Emperor Dalong succeeded to the throne, and now it is targeting the princess's father, and the holy family of the King of Chu is not as good as before, I think he is difficult to protect." Jin Yuan frowned slightly: "But think about it carefully, even though the new emperor suppressed a lot, the king of Chu was still able to go to the domain, it can be seen that even if he is jealous of the new emperor, he is still at ease, this time there is a confrontation with the beginning, I know that the king of Chu may not have used all his energy to contain the emperor's throne, at least six or seven layers of distraction to rescue the princess." ”

An Jin listened to Jin Yuan's blunt words and pointed out that the eldest brother had a "heart of disobedience", although he understood that this was the truth, but it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed, and it was not good to express his opinion on this matter, so he only listened to Jin Yuan silently and said: "The king of Chu can not only ask for help bluntly this time, but also take my weakness, I really have no better choice, I must admit that the national strength of Xiliang is not as good as Dalong, and it is wise to maintain diplomatic relations with Xiliang, Su and Chu are all confidants in Dalong's new emperor, Xiliang does not dare to grudge with him, the princess of Chu is the daughter of Duke Wei, the wife of the king of Chu, and Xiliang will be imprisoned, It's unwise. ”

Jin Yuan sighed again: "In the past few days, An Jin has not hesitated to tell me in detail about your previous situation in order to understand your affection, and I know that it is not easy for you to ...... After listening to you talk about your past experience, I also understand that the king of Chu is extremely protective of his close relatives, and if the princess is trapped in Xiliang and cannot be saved, it is an extraordinary thing to persecute the king of Chu. ”

An Jin's biological father Yu Dong and Yu Feng have a grudge against his mother, but Yu Feng did not anger An Jin, in fact, if he did not strive for it, An Jin would not be able to make peace in the name of the princess, then her situation in Xiliang is bound to be less peaceful than the current one, the king of Chu can do everything carefully and step by step to maintain Yu Dong's daughter, not to mention the princess who has a deep relationship with him, Jin Yuan has no doubt that the king of Chu will do what he says, if the princess can't return to the country safely, he will hold Xiliang accountable sooner or later.

"But the only thing I hesitate is my cousin...... I have heard that he once spared his life to block arrows for the princess, and then committed a forced abduction, although it is absurd and capricious, but it also shows my cousin's heart for the princess, An Jin, although I don't agree with my cousin's behavior, I have to say, but I was shocked by his arbitrary behavior, I can't ask the king of Chu this, I hope you can tell me sincerely, is it really possible for the princess to be moved by her cousin? If she is soft-hearted...... My cousin may not be able to give her stability and happiness, and I believe that my cousin will not owe the princess half a point. Jin Yuan said again.

"It is impossible for the princess to worry, sister-in-law is by no means a treacherous person, she has married her brother, the two are in love, and after marriage, Qin Se is harmonious, it is because of the king's forced abduction to Xiliang, how can she succumb? Princess, An Jin is also a wife, and she also shares life and death with her husband, asking herself if she encounters a similar disaster to her sister-in-law, she will rather die than obey, no matter how the other party shows goodwill, she will not betray her husband. An Jin replied categorically.

But Jin Yuan was silent.

But she replied to Yu Feng the next day: "I only promised the King of Chu that if the princess voluntarily left the Dajun Mansion, she could secretly help." ”

Yu Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and gave a long salute: "Of course this is the case, and it is bound to be carefully planned in the future, and it will never expose the princess's secret help and cause the prince to be jealous." ”

Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have to remind the King of Chu that even if I provide the entrance to the secret passage, if the princess suddenly disappears from the Maharaja's Mansion, my cousin will inevitably be suspicious, and in addition, the capital will be blocked immediately, and it will be difficult for the princess to get out." ”

"Yes, there is another commission below." Yu Feng said that, but did not explain his plan in detail: "As for how to help Neizi leave Xiliang smoothly, without teaching the prince to suspect the princess, he has his own arrangements." ”

Jin Yuan pondered for a long time before taking a deep breath: "So, a word is a certainty." ”

An Jin remembered the question that Jin Yuan was puzzled about, and asked Yu Feng afterwards: "Why is the eldest brother sure that the Great King doesn't know about the secret way?" ”

Yu Feng smiled and said: "Yu Haoxi is so cautious, if he knows that there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the mansion, how can he rest assured that the beautiful scenery can travel unhindered in the Dajun Mansion?" Especially during his expedition, he is bound to take strict precautions. ”

This is also the reason why Yu Feng asked Xiao Man to inquire if Yijing could travel unhindered in the Dajun Mansion.
