Chapter 285: The Toad Marries the Frog
"This has to start from the beginning." Jin Tao sighed and said:
"Last time, when it came to the death of the princess of Lu Kingdom, our king became more and more depressed, and he was no longer as sharp as he was back then. But it is not only because of the princess of Lu State, but also because of the fact that in the continuous war, more than 280 heroes have been produced. In order to thank them for defending the country, the king had to give them most of the land and population of the country.
"This has led to the expansion of the power of the heroes, especially the warrior group, and the power of the capital can already compete with the royal power. This made the king very wary of the ministers from the great families, believing that they were intertwined and shielding each other; And the Confucian students who are 'new to the grass' are not dry, and they are clinging to the powerful, so they are not available. β
The brothers looked at each other when they heard this, good guys, why is this so similar to their own family. There's nothing new under the sun.
"At this time, the king made a decision against his ancestors, he worshipped a monk Xin (xin) Min from a pariah background as a teacher, and entrusted the military and political power to Xin Min, Xin Min took the eunuch ministers as his minions, and began to vigorously cut off the military ministers of the capital, including Cui Yuanjun, a large number of military ministers were demoted, exiled, and deprived."
"Toilet." Three, four, six spoke in unison.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, and he saw through the king's intentions at a glance." Jin Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded and said: "The king is indeed using Xin Min to cut off the military ministers, and finally killed him in order to appease the anger of the people. Up to now, Xin Min's head is still hanging at the east gate of the capital. β
"What a crumb king." The brothers took a sip disdainfully. The fourth child asked impatiently, "What does this have to do with the death of your king?" β
"The stakes are too big. Although the king killed Xin Min, the relationship with the military ministers of the capital hall could no longer be bridged. After Xin Min was ambushed, the king was forced to recall the exiled and imprisoned military ministers, and forbade the internal supervisor to interfere in politics.
"In order to protect himself, the king set up a 'Zidi Guard' to select young and beautiful people from famous nobles to serve, and gave them great power, with the purpose of allowing them to compete with the capital.
"However, it was a group of unscrupulous people, who completely failed the king's expectations, and finally killed the king!" When he said this, Jin Tao's face was ashamed, and he sighed again and again:
"Those things that shame the ancestors should not have been revealed in the first place. But since I have sworn to know everything, I can only say everythingβwhen we were young kings, we served as the crown prince's guard for the crown prince of Yuanshang, and we were inhumanly manipulated, lost our fertility, and our gender concepts were distorted.
"When he was in the palace, he often applied grease and powder, and wore women's clothes, and he didn't like women, but only handsome and strong men. He often dressed up as a woman, and then made the male pets and concubines happy, and watched by himself in the next room. When he is interested, he will call the male pets to rejoice with him, and he will replace dozens of people in one night......"
"......" The brothers listened to it and it was an eye-opener, and even the well-informed third brother didn't expect to be able to play like this.
Zhu Zhen was even more emotional, "Frost Flower Shop" is not a deception. But it's still the same old problem of sticks.,I like self-beautification too much.γ is obviously a promiscuous big O, how can there be any poignant love story?
"Then Princess Luguo, how did she get pregnant...... "The third child suddenly asked.
Jin Tao was silent, he felt that he had spoken bluntly enough.
"Well, it doesn't need to be said." The third child smiled, and changed to a more embarrassing question for Jin Tao: "Didn't you say that your king has a ten-year-old son?" Where did that kid come from? β
"......" Jin Tao blushed and red for a while, but this time he chose to answer:
Seven days after Xin Min was killed, the king suddenly brought one of his sons into the palace. The child's name was Mu Ninu, and the king explained to the Empress Dowager Mingde and Li Renren in the guard: 'I saw a servant girl in Xin Min's house, and when I heard that she could give birth to a son, I blessed her, and then I had this child. But this is indecent, I don't know how to explain to my mother and subjects, so I have been raising him in Xin Min's house. Now that Xin Min is dead, I will take him back to the palace to raise him. ββ
"You are the first king, and the operation is really one set after another." The sixth couldn't help laughing and said, "I just like to treat others as fools." β
"Not really." The third child also smiled: "He is in his forties, and he has never had an heir, and he was almost abolished for this reason." The reason why his royal power was not in his later period was also directly related to the lack of heirs. Not to mention having a son, even if a woman is pregnant, he will definitely give that woman to the light to dispel the doubts of his subjects. β
"Yes." The fourth nodded and said, "How can there be a reason to raise your only heir in someone else's house?" That's Xin Min's son at all, right? β
"Isn't Xin Min a monk?" The honest fifth couldn't help but ask.
"It's long been vulgar, Xin Min is his vulgar name." Jin Tao sighed and said: "So there is also a saying that Xin Min is the king's beloved." Although the king was forced to kill Xin Min, he wanted to pass the throne to Xin Min's son as compensation. β
"This is true love......" The brothers praised one after another.
"The Empress Dowager Mingde, that is, the queen mother of the king, thinks so, so she has always been disgusted with this child. Soon after taking him into the palace, the king wanted to let Muninu go to school, but the queen mother was unwilling, so she refused on the pretext that he was young. β
The king also knew that this child, who had suddenly been brought back, was not enough to convince the people. I thought of a way to make the male pets of the guards happy with their concubines, and when the concubines were pregnant, they said that they were their own children.
After the unremitting efforts of the male pets, a concubine finally became pregnant, and the king was very happy, but in order to keep this secret, he ordered Cui Wansheng, the chamberlain, to kill Hong Lun, the leader of the concubine's guard, who made the concubine pregnant, with poisoned wine. and told Cui Wansheng that all those who knew about it would have to die, including the concubine, and they would also be executed after giving birth. β
"It's so stupid......" The brothers couldn't help but sigh: "If even the child's mother has to be killed, the person who performs the task of exterminating the mouth will also know that he will definitely die, right?" β
"It's a pity that Wang Shang was drunk and his mind was completely confused, and he didn't expect such a simple truth." Jin Tao wiped away his tears and said: "Cui Wansheng thought of it, and was naturally very afraid, so he teamed up with Hong Lun and other disciples to enter the dormitory in the early morning of the next day, and hacked him to death with a sword when the king was drunk, and his brains splashed on the wall. β
"Then the next day, Li Renren led the capital to rebel, and all the participants were executed." Jin Tao lowered his voice and said: "The princes of the Dutang also took the opportunity to purge the ministers and the guards, and since then the Dutang has been completely dominant. In Goryeo, there was no more power that could compete with them.
"After Li Yuanjun grasped the situation, the first thing he did was to invite Huang Nei to enter the palace, hoping that he could conceal the cause of the king's death, support Mu Ninu to succeed to the throne, and ask the Ming Dynasty for canonization."
