Although there are indeed many people who pay attention to Yan Shizi's murder case, there are really few people who really care about the real party - Yan Xingbao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, although there are not many people who care about him, the huge power represented by these people is something that few people can compete with. These people include the top and bottom of the Yan Mansion, the Empress Yan in the palace, and His Royal Highness King Ji, the eldest son of the emperor who has an inseparable relationship with the Yan Mansion.

Speaking of which, His Royal Highness King Ji can also be regarded as Yan Shizi's cousin, and he is close by blood. But there is no similarity between the two brothers, let alone the slightest brotherhood.

King Hiroshi Akihito's identity is the eldest son of the emperor and his sister-in-law, and he is the prince who is most likely to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. Therefore, he has been under the almost harsh supervision and discipline of Queen Yan since he was a child, he is humble and polite, and he is old and serious, although he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but he is extremely polite and virtuous, and is known as a generation of virtuous kings.

And Yan Xingbao and his cousin are diametrically opposed. As soon as he was born, he was the son of the Yipin Marquis Mansion, and he had a high-ranking aunt like Queen Yan, so he was pampered since he was a child, so that when he grew up, he became a lawless demon king of the world.

King Ji and this Yan Shizi are more than ten years apart in age, and when he was young, he would treat his cousin as a child and occasionally accompany him to ride a horse and play. But as he grew older, he grew more and more disgusted with this unruly cousin. Because he has clearly realized that such a stupid relative will only cause him trouble, and even one day, it will become a stumbling block on his way to the throne.

However, although King Ji had such thoughts, he did not dare to show it in front of people, especially in front of his mother, Queen Yan. Because he always knew that in his mother's mind, the rise and fall of the Yan family was actually more important than the future of Da Yuguo. Of course, King Ji also knows very well in his heart that the reason why his mother has such thoughts naturally has her reasons.

The Yan family has a history of more than 200 years from generation to generation, as early as the Daning period of the former dynasty, it was a wealthy family with one side, and until the fall of Qianning, the Yan family is still standing, and has become the strong support of the Dayu royal family of the new dynasty.

The founding emperor of Dayu, Taizu Hao Xingqi, the Yan Guifei he has always relied on and loved, was born in the Yan family, and the son of this Yan Guifei is the current emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi. Haoxing Xiaoqi even set up his cousin Yan as the queen, and for a time made the Yan family reach the peak of glory.

It's a pity that prosperity must decline, and nothing in the world can escape this principle. After the Yan family, he gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor and the emperor's concubine, which is actually the logical future prince - Haoxing Mingren. And her two brothers are also literate and martial, and they hold great power in the court. One is the Marquis of the First Rank Army, the Marquis of the Zhenguo Country, Yan Yukuan, and the other is the Right Minister of the First Dynasty.

It is so grand and glorious, and it is difficult for anyone to match it in all dynasties. But who would have expected that a sudden and drastic change would cause the Yan family to suffer an extremely heavy blow, and they would never recover, and gradually embarked on the road of decline.

In the spring of the nineteenth year of Jingyun, Emperor Yu toured south, and the emperor's eldest son, King Ji, went out on patrol with him, and the queen stayed to sit in the palace. Who would have thought that the second prince Huai Wang Haoxing Mingyi, who stayed in the capital, conspired with Gao Fengxian, the commander of the forbidden army in charge of the garrison of the capital, to raise troops to attack the imperial city, intending to rebel and seize the throne.

At that time, the guards guarding the imperial city and the government soldiers led by Yan Yukuan, the marquis of Zhenguo, fought fiercely against the rebellious forbidden army, but they were outnumbered and retreated. Eventually, the rebels captured the imperial city and thus the entire capital.

Empress Yan escaped from the capital under the protection of several guards, but Yan Yukuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, was killed by the rebels, and all his family members were killed. Although the right prime minister Yan Yuguang's family escaped the catastrophe in time, Yan Yuguang broke his right leg when he fled for his life in a hurry, and since then he has been disabled.

Although this rebellion was finally suppressed by the various armies transferred by Emperor Yu Haoxing Xiaoqi, the losses suffered by the Yan clan could no longer be recovered.

As soon as Yan Yukuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, died, the Yan clan lost the only person who could lead the troops to fight and hold military power, and their weight in the emperor's mind naturally weakened a little. And the right minister Yan Yu was widely disabled, and the Yan family lost the people who could call the wind and rain in the court and influence the court situation, so naturally the power of control over the hundred officials was also lost immediately.

What's worse is that after this incident, the emperor also became more suspicious and suspicious, not only was he much colder to the queen, but he also showed his estrangement from the emperor's eldest son, King Ji, who had always obeyed his orders.

In the face of such a mean and ungrateful emperor, Empress Yan further realized that only by reviving the Yan clan could she regain control of the court and finally help King Ji ascend to the throne. However, in today's Yan clan, only Yan Yuguang's branch is still strong, and the other branches that are a little closer have almost withered, and those distant branches are all not counted on.

Speaking of Yan Yuguang, among the three Yan sisters and brothers, he is the least courageous, but he is also the one with the most eyes.

During the rebellion of King Huai that year, although Empress Yan knew that if she ordered the guards loyal to her to give up resistance, King Huai would never kill her immediately, but would leave her as a bargaining chip to coerce Emperor Yu and King Ji. However, she still preferred to risk being killed by the rebels and forcibly broke through and escaped from Jingyang City by luck.

And Empress Yan's eldest brother, Yan Yukuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, was not as lucky as her. Knowing that the enemy was outnumbered and the situation was dangerous, he still personally led the government soldiers to rescue the eldest sister Empress Yan who was trapped in the palace, but he fell off his horse and was killed in the chaos.

Only Yan Yuguang, who was the right minister at that time, fled outside the city with his family under the protection of the guards in the palace when he first heard that King Huai was plotting rebellion and rebellion. Unexpectedly, as soon as he escaped from the city, he overturned because the horse pulling the cart was frightened, breaking one of Yan Yuguang's right legs. However, no matter what, the lives of his family were all saved, unlike his brother Zhenguohou's family, who was slaughtered by the red-eyed King Huai.

Afterwards, in order to appease the Yan family, Emperor Yu Haoxing Xiaoqi set up a spirit in the royal temple Jishi Temple, personally paid tribute to the Marquis of Zhenguo, posthumously praised him as a first-class Zhenguo Gong, and posthumously sealed the people who were killed. As for Yan Yuguang, due to the difficulty of healing his leg disease, it was not suitable to go to the court to discuss matters, so Emperor Yu rewarded him with the title of Marquis of Xiangguo, and his son Yan Xingbao was also named the prince.

Although he lost the power of the right prime minister, Yan Yuguang's connections in the court for many years were not wasted, on the contrary, under the secret instruction of Empress Yan and King Ji, he became more and more active.

He often used the New Year's festivals and wedding and funeral ceremonies to visit the courtiers' mansions in search of opportunities to win over opportunists and careerists who wished to advance their allegiance to the new monarch in order to advance their allegiance to the new king. Don't look at this Yan Houye's boldness, but that three-inch tongue is extremely good, and in just a few years, it has moved countless greedy hearts.

Above the court of Dayu, although it still seems to be calm, a faction of political and harmonious appearances, in fact, it is already a turbulent dark tide, a sign of wind and rain is coming.

Who knew that just when the Yan clan was already fighting hard and the swords were tense, the core figure of the whole chess game, Yan Yuguang, the Marquis of Xiangguo, had an accident, more precisely, his precious only son Yan Xingbao had an accident.

As soon as the news of Yan Xingbao's detention came, Yan Yuguang was furious and suddenly fainted on the spot. After some emergency treatment, including the participation of several palace doctors, although the person was awake, the entire right half of Yan Yuguang's body could no longer move.

When Empress Yan heard the bad news in the palace, although she secretly scolded the father and son for not being angry, she also really felt sorry for her brother and nephew, of course, she had to find a way to settle the matter, at least to rescue Yan Xingbao from prison first. However, she was in the palace, but she couldn't do anything outside the palace, so the matter of saving people could only fall on King Ji.

Of course, King Ji was also anxious, but what he was anxious about was different from that of his mother. He didn't care about the life or death of that waste cousin Yan Xingbao, what he cared about was the information of those courtiers in the hands of his uncle Yan Yuguang, and the most important thing was the movements of Zuo Xiang Leng Yiqing. Yan Yuguang fell ill, and his contact with the courtiers was also broken. It's okay for others to hold off for a while, but Leng Yiqing's position is too critical to be negligent in the slightest.

Since Yan Yuguang is the key, King Ji can't give up on him, but if he wants to come back to life, he must first save his lifeline, Yan Xingbao.

However, how can Yan Xingbao be rescued?

The only thing King Ji could think of at this time was the Jingzhao Mansion Yin who was in charge of hearing the case, Duan Puqing Duan.
