Chapter 491: The First Emperor and Princess Baorong (Second Watch)

Han Jun's eyes moved slightly, "Why did you go to Hongtai Temple?"

"Knowing your background, go there to resolve your demons."

Han Jun couldn't help but be shocked.

Seven years ago, King Jin was only a sixteen-year-old boy at that time, and he was able to hide his emotions in front of Emperor Qingming without showing clues.

He asked, "There is an old peach tree on the south side of the top of Cangyuan Mountain, have you seen it?"

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, "How did you know? The peach tree bears fruit every year and ripens in late June. When the king and Youning were thirsty, they picked fruit and ate it, and when it was hot, they took shade under the tree."

Han Jun sighed, "Providence, providence."

Zhao Chengyuan vaguely guessed that this matter might be related to his mother, and looked at him quietly, "What is the providence?"

Han Jun said, "Behind the peach tree, there is Princess Baorong."

Zhao Chengyuan's hand shook slightly, and the water in the teacup spilled a little, and his hands were wet.

He took out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands slowly, "It turns out that this king has been with his mother for so many years unknowingly. and Youning, who has been with her mother for more than ten years. Mother watched her grow up, so she certainly didn't feel lonely."

Hearing this, Han Jun felt uncomfortable.

His daughter was coveted by King Jin early, and she was filial piety in front of her mother-in-law when she was a child, which is really ...... Providence is hard to disobey.

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "In this way, my mother was buried by my father-in-law. So, who killed her, and who made the decision?"

His face was not shocked, but Han Jun could detect the suppressed hatred and anger.

He sighed, "She was buried by the first emperor himself. Now that you know the contents of the armistice agreement between the two countries, you should guess who did it."

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Brother Huang?" He sneered, "Do you know that my father wants to erase the shame of his captivity?"

Seeing him say this, Han Jun said angrily, "Does King Jin remember the first emperor's white hair? That white hair was born because of Princess Bao Rong!"

He picked up the tea, poured a cup of it, and talked about the secret that had been sealed for more than 20 years.

After Emperor Zhengxuan was captured, if Great Zhou wanted to rescue him, he either captured Southern Chu or negotiated peace. According to the situation at that time, it was not easy to defeat Nanchu, so there was only one way to negotiate peace. And the negotiation of peace must be stamped with a seal.

Lao Dingguo sent a letter back to the capital, and Empress Lu was not worried that the eldest prince would take the seal alone, afraid that he would directly give up the first emperor and ascend the throne himself, so she walked with him.

After more than 3,000 miles, Queen Lu gritted her teeth and rode a horse to persevere. Although she was born in Jiangmen, she has been pampered in the deep palace for more than 20 years, and this long journey has been very difficult. But after arriving, she heard that Emperor Zhengxuan had married Princess Baorong in the Chu State, and the condition of the King of Chu was that Queen Lu should be abolished and Princess Baorong would be the queen. Empress Lu agreed, but Emperor Zhengxuan did not.

After talking like this, seven months later, under the mediation of Princess Baorong, the king of Chu released him. The conditions are as Zhao Chengyuan knows, to establish the imperial concubine and the crown prince.

And the king of Chu was willing to release him quickly, but in fact, he also negotiated a condition with Lao Dingguo Gong alone - Lao Dingguogong's life.

Emperor Zhengxuan took Princess Baorong, who was pregnant for seven months, to the Xiangping camp, and knew that Lao Dingguo Gongsheng was stabbed by the king of Chu, and both swords were at the point. ….

Emperor Zhengxuan was furious and personally sent him to Hongtai Temple to seek treatment from Master Xuanzhi. Princess Baorong and Empress Lu were escorted by Han Jun and the eldest prince to the Chen family courtyard at the foot of Cangyuan Mountain.

Lao Dingguo Gong was too seriously injured and was already a mortal man, and Master Xuanzhi said that he could only renew his life for a month, and let him arrange unfinished matters. In those days, Emperor Zhengxuan had been accompanying Lao Dingguo in the temple, but in the other courtyard, the eldest prince had killed Princess Baorong.

The eldest prince asked Han Jun, "The king of Chu killed your father, have you ever thought about revenge?"

Han Jun naturally thought.

But let him kill a weak woman who is defenseless, he can't do it.

In particular, if Princess Baorong died, then Zhou and Chu would have a mortal enmity, and the Chu State would fight again under the anger of the State of Chu, and the Great Zhou, who was already exhausted by the national strength, would definitely not be able to bear it.

Han Jun was worried that the eldest prince would not give up, so he persuaded Queen Lu to eat and live with Princess Baorong.

Don't give the eldest prince a chance to do it.

But the eldest prince still did it, and he took advantage of the effort to ask Queen Lu for peace, and assassinated Princess Baorong in front of him.

Although a eunuch stepped forward to protect her to the death, Princess Baorong was still seriously injured, and at the same time, she also had fetal gas. In the evening of the same day, she gave birth to the Seventh Prince, and she died.

If Han Jun hadn't rushed in to stop him, I'm afraid there would be no chance for the Seventh Prince to be born at all, and there would be no chance for him to live.

The eldest prince faced the emperor who rushed to hear the news, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "The Duke of Dingguo taught his sons kung fu and taught them the way to lead troops. A teacher for one day and a father for life. When the king of Chu kills the Duke of Dingguo, his daughter will pay for the death of the Duke of Dingguo!"

"My father suffered a great humiliation in the Chu State, do you still have to face Princess Baorong every day for the rest of your life and continue this shame? You are the Emperor of the Ninety-Five!"

"The King of Chu is ruthless, if his daughter gets his true inheritance, he will have a place for his queen mother one day!"

……

Emperor Zhengxuan only said one word to the eldest prince, "If you dare to touch the Seventh Prince, I will not have your son!"

That night, Emperor Zhengxuan announced to the public that Empress Lu gave birth to seven princes, and the mother and son were safe.

He left Han Jun in Wutong Garden, never leaving the Seven Princes.

Emperor Zhengxuan left with the body of Princess Baorong and went to the top of Cangyuan Mountain, cut down trees to build a coffin for her, and dug a tomb to bury her. There is no grave head in the tomb, and there is no tombstone, and he planted a peach tree in front of the tomb, which Princess Bao Rong loved to eat.

The direction that the peach tree is rushing in is the Chu State in the south.

At that time, it was a cold winter, and Emperor Zhengxuan built a grass hut in front of the tree and stayed for a month. When the guards found him, his hair turned the same color as the snow on the mountain, and the guards fell to their knees in terror.

For the next four years, until the death of Emperor Zhengxuan, he was silver-haired.

On the day of the full moon of the Seven Princes, Emperor Zhengxuan and Lao Dingguo Gong went down the mountain.

Emperor Zhengxuan gave marriage to Han Jun and Chen Man, and was happy for the old Dingguo Gong. A few days later, the old Dingguo Gong died.

After that, the group returned to Beijing, and Princess Baorong was left on the top of Cangyuan Mountain forever, and no one knew about her existence.

Emperor Zhengxuan did not dare to announce her death rashly, which would bring disaster to the Great Zhou.

He didn't dare to take her body away, so that people could find out.

Emperor Zhengxuan imitated Princess Baorong's handwriting every year and sent a letter to the King of Chu to report his safety, and he kept it secret for four years.

Han Jun couldn't understand the first emperor.

He respects Empress Lu, although she has not given birth for more than 20 years, he has always refused to abolish the queen. He went to the harem, half of which was to Queen Lu's Kunning Palace.

But the first emperor never seemed to forget Princess Baorong.

Every year in the lunar month, he will go to the top of Cangyuan Mountain alone, in the ice and void, and stay for several days.

There are still more than 100 words left, so let's take a look at it later!.
