Emperor Ding walked to the map, pointed to Wangbei City and said to Dou Yan: "Wen Jing, I have a secret, in this Wangbei City, I once married a person with a brother with a different surname. ”

Dou Yan was shocked: "Your Majesty, there is still this matter!" ”

Emperor Ding nodded: "This is true, that person is the current Emperor Xiao Jingyuan of the Great Liang!" ”

In Dou Yan's astonished gaze, Emperor Ding slowly told the story.

"It was thirty years ago, I was just the king of Liang who was named by my father, the prince who was not favored by my father, the prince regarded me as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, my fiefdom Liangzhou was close to Jiangbei, so I pretended to be a traveling merchant Jia into Wangbeicheng to investigate the military situation, in a restaurant in Wangbeicheng, because I spoke with a northland accent, so I was troubled by the Liang army, at this time there was a Liang military captain who was upset for me, I invited him to drink, he drank well, we drank all night that night, and dried more than 40 pots of wine, and the owner of the wine shop was scared by us."

Emperor Ding said this, smiled slowly, and fell into deep thought

"We refer each other as confidants, but we don't know each other's true identities, I think he is a lieutenant of the Jingbei Military Academy, he thinks I am an ordinary businessman, we drink every day, dance swords and write poems, and we are not happy; Later, one day we made an appointment to hunt together, and when we were attacked by the rebels, Xiao Jingyuan and I defeated the rebels together, so we became brothers with different surnames, and agreed to be the in-laws of our children in the future. ”

Emperor Ding smiled, he was only twenty years old at that time, and Xiao Jingyuan was only eighteen years old, the best time.

Dou Yan asked: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't expect that you and the Emperor of Liang would have such a story!" ”

Emperor Ding continued: "But there is always a day of separation, he was transferred back to Liang, before leaving, he came to me, couldn't help but tell his true identity, said that the attack that day was the prince wanted to murder him, even affected me, but because of this the two of us became friends of life and death, I was shocked, but I didn't dare to show my identity, so I left a letter to him, let him return to China and open it again, the letter stated: I am the second prince of the Great Wei Liang Wang Tuoba Xian, Brother Yan is in Shenzhou, Nian Brother should be the same; The brother is determined to unify the world, and so is the younger brother; We should take Jiangbei as the first son to open together, and hunt the world. What a heroic thing it said back then, but at that time, I never thought that I would be the emperor, nor did I think that he would become the emperor of the Liang Kingdom! ”

Dou Yan also fell into memories: "Your Majesty, the minister also stood by His Majesty's side from that time and went all the way to today. ”

Emperor Ding patted Dou Yan's shoulder and smiled: "Yes, thanks to your help, I can get to where I am today, but the years have passed, and it has been thirty years, and I have only used the power of the whole country to fall this first son, I only have the ability to open this plate, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the end, and the promise of the day should be fulfilled today." ”

After listening to this, Dou Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "Emperor Liang is also a peerless hero, a hero!" ”

Emperor Ding nodded: "Heroes are always lost by time, this past, I have never mentioned it to others, but today Xiao Jingyuan called me a brother in his letter, evoking my memories, and telling Wen Jing about this matter, I really feel ashamed, I just want to tell you that the agreement between me and Nandi is still valid in my lifetime and Nandi's lifetime, and you have time to assist King Qi to become a generation of Ming monarchs, and in the future, I will realize those bold words I said in those years, so that the world will be unified and Shenzhou will be peaceful." ”

"Your Majesty! The minister must be the liver and brain to the ground, and assist the king of Qi! ”

Dou Xiang knelt and kowtowed, bowing his head and crying.

"The ministers will take Wan'er back and persuade the king of Qi to put the society and the country first!"

Emperor Ding raised his head and sighed: "The prince is gone, the king of Qi is filial piety and Hongyi, he should be the prince, Wan'er has a pure character, but he has a strong temperament, if I decree that the king of Qi will divorce his wife, I am afraid that she will have an accident, I don't want Brother Ye to have no mother, so I decreed that she should go to Jing'an to follow the Taizhen patriarch to become a monk and worship the Buddha, and give the name Yuzhen Master, after I make a big trip, I will leave an edict and order Brother Liye of Qi to be the prince and protect the Dou family for generations." ”

Dou Xiang clasped his head on the ground, tears fell, and he couldn't speak

On the second day of the Great Wei Dynasty Meeting, Emperor Ding announced that the envoys of the Great Liang went to the palace, and the envoys officially submitted the letter of state of the Great Liang, hoping to marry the good of the two in-laws, the state of brothers, and the Emperor Ding agreed, and let Dou Xiang announce two wills: one is to order the King of Jin to be the envoy of peace, enter the Great Liang to welcome Princess Yonghui, and seal Yonghui as the prince and concubine, enter the Great Wei, and marry after the crown prince is established; The second is that the Great Wei and the Great Liang became a state of brothers, a truce to raise the people, in order to witness the brotherhood, the Emperor accepted Xiao Siyu, the seventh son of Emperor Jing, as the righteous son, and named the King of Wei Yong, welcomed back to the Eastern Capital with the gift of the prince, and gave the prince's mansion.

And a few days ago, because of Emperor Jing's marriage, it had disturbed the construction of the capital city three times a day.

On that day, Lu Shen went to the Fei Mansion with His Majesty's will to give marriage, the Fei Mansion opened the middle door, put the incense case, and was ordered by His Majesty to close the door at home for ten days.

Lu Shen entered the gate of Fei Mansion with a smile on his face, and congratulated him as he walked: "Congratulations to Fei Xiang, congratulations to Fei Xiang, you will be called a national pro in the future." ”

Fei Xiang took his three sons out to greet him, the daughter of the Fei family is now the future princess, so it is naturally inconvenient to show up, just to receive the dowry, naturally there is a Ministry of Etiquette to carry out three media and six certificates, and then the prince himself will come to the door to marry the princess and return to the East Palace.

Fei Xiang smiled proudly: "The prime minister personally ran to kill the old man, and killed the old man!" ”

Lu Shen was also very polite: "Fei Xiang is polite, this is a special order from His Majesty, saying that let the old slave personally come to announce the decree, and by the way, he will come to Fei Xiang to say hello for His Majesty." ”

After entering the inner courtyard, Lu Shen saw that everything was almost done, and said to Fei Wan: "Fei Xiang, please accept the order!" ”

Fei Wan pulled the whole family to kneel down and kowtow: "Minister, Fei Wan kneels to welcome the holy decree!" ”

Lu Shen unfolded and read: "The edict of the sage, I heard that Fei Ting, the daughter of Fei Wan in the servant, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it. Now the crown prince is weak, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. Fei Ting treats Yu in the boudoir, and the prince can be called heaven and earth, for the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman, you will be matched with the prince as the crown princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. ”

Lu Shen finished reciting the holy decree in a straight voice

Fei Wan smiled and read with the family: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then he smiled and helped Fei Wan up: "Fei Xiang, please get up, this will Fei Xiang continue!" In addition, His Majesty asked the old slave to pick more than 1,000 treasures in the inner library for the purpose of hiring, so that the concubine will be the princess in the future, and Fei Xiang is also a national relative, so I hope that Fei Xiang will take care of it. ”

Fei Wan knew in his heart that when it came to the most trusted person of His Majesty, I am afraid that Old Man Xie and Old Man Cui may not be favored by this Lu Shen, and now although his daughter is about to become the crown princess, he still does not dare to take a sample in front of Lu Shen, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "The prime minister does not dare to say this, in the future, when the little girl enters the palace, she will need more care from the inner minister." ”

After asking his son to bring a small wooden box, Fei Wan opened a gap, which was filled with some deeds, Lu Shen understood and asked his godson on the side to take it.

"Thank you Fei Xiang!"

With a wave of the dust, the internal affairs office began to carry in boxes of palace treasures, and soon filled the entire courtyard, and Lu Shen handed a list to Fei Xiang.

"Fei Xiang, this is the dowry list drawn up by the Internal Affairs Office, Fei Xiang has accepted it, and the old slave will go back to give His Majesty a life."

Fei Wan said: "Prime minister, the old man has been given some drinks, and the father-in-law has worked hard, do you want to leave without drinks?" ”

Lu Shen arched his hand and said: "Xiangye, Your Majesty is still waiting for the old slave to reply, and Your Majesty is also concerned." ”

Fei Wan gave it away: "Then I'll send the internal minister." ”

Lu Shen did not refuse, and sent it to the door, Lu Shen got into the carriage, and Fei Wan followed his sons to the gate of the mansion, and did not raise his head until Lu Shen's car drove away.

Fei Wan's third son Fei Jie on the side was dissatisfied: "A eunuch, but His Majesty favors him, and now his sister is going to be the crown princess, why did his father give him such courtesy?" ”

Fei Wan turned around and scolded angrily: "What do you know, Lu Shen's energy even your father and I have to borrow, don't think that your sister has become the crown princess, you will be rich and prosperous forever in the future, if something happens to the prince in the future, the first to bear the brunt is our Fei family!" ”

Fei Wan's three sons nodded: "Yes, father, the son knows!" ”

Fei Wan raised his head, looked at his Fei Mansion, and said secretly: "If you don't become a prince, there are many generations of wealth there, but now that the situation is obvious, that one can't stay." ”

After that, he walked into the house with a smile.

…

On the side of Lu Shen's carriage, Lu Shen's godson Lu Jianxi attached himself to the window of the car and said: "Godfather, this fee is really a heavy investment, 5,000 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, a Zhuangzi, ten shops in the city, and one other courtyard are worth 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Lu Shen spoke in the car: "What are you yelling about, it's rare and weird, send these things to Your Majesty's Inner Treasury." ”

Lu Jianxi couldn't help but ask: "Godfather, send them all, don't leave some!" ”

Lu Shen said disappointedly inside: "You stay, stay today, turn around and turn your head, don't blame your godfather for not saving you." ”

Lu Jianxi shivered, touched his neck, and arched his hand: "Godfather, my son listens to you." ”

Lu Shen said another sentence inside: "In this palace, you must learn the skills, what money should be taken, what money should be urged, think clearly!" ”

"Yes, godfather, my son knows."

…

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! ”

The prince anxiously rushed into the Fengyi Palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs along the way retreated to both sides, and when the prince walked to the door of the dormitory, he only heard the sound of smashing cups inside, and a scolding came from inside, Xu Changling was waiting outside, the door of the queen's bedroom was closed, Xu Changling saw that the prince was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Your Highness, don't go in now, the queen is angry!" ”

The prince was obviously a little anxious, and stepped forward to ask, "Aunt Xu, who is inside, why is the queen mother so angry!" ”

Xu Changling hadn't answered yet, only to see a roar coming out from inside.

"Erlang, do you still have this mother in your eyes! You think that if you marry your uncle's daughter, your uncle will be able to support you, you dream! ”

At this time, a male voice came: "Mother, I am also your son, can't my son pursue the person he likes?" This time it was the father's marriage, did you let your son resist the decree? ”

The prince's face changed, this is the reason why he came to Fengyi Hall today, his father gave him a marriage, but the candidate for the crown princess to marry himself was actually Fei Ting, and the object of the second brother's marriage was his cousin Wang Yan, who had been thinking about it for a long time, the prince had never thought about anything, and now his beloved let his own brother rob him, he only felt a rush of blood in his heart, and felt humiliated.

"Prince Ben killed you brute!"

The crown prince pulled out his saber from the guards next to him, pushed open the palace door, and rushed into the queen's bedroom.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and no one stopped them.

"You brute, I'm going to kill you!"

The crown prince roared and appeared in front of the queen and King Xin, murderous, and King Xin was suddenly frightened and pale.

"Mother, save me!"

King Xin was kneeling, but he hid behind the queen on his knees, poked his head out and looked at the prince with a knife, trembling, and the prince who had always been weak in front of him was full of murderous aura today.
