Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 404

It must be unusual for Shen Cha and Jin Jing to have such a sigh at the same time. Anyway, at least they have lived for more than ten years, and they rarely encounter or hear similar stories.

About 30 years ago, there was a Xinhe princess in the Liao Kingdom who married Tubo from far away. She married the Tubo king at that time, and later gave birth to two princes. The eldest prince inherited the throne, and the little prince fought for Tubo for more than ten years. the general.

It's been more than ten years of living in peace, and I don't know whether the two of them were bewitched by evil spirits, or their brains were smashed by something, and they secretly planned to assassinate the king. According to him, they were all born by a mother Yes, but he was born two years late, so why should the eldest brother sit firmly on the throne, but I have to work hard for him.

In fact, the staff and retainers in the second prince's mansion have all persuaded that the prince now wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain. If one person is under ten thousand people, the throne is just a phantom, and it is the same whether he has it or not.But the second prince didn't listen to the persuasion, and insisted on going his own way, resolutely not to be the top ten thousand people, but to be the top one, and he was bent on kicking his eldest brother off the throne.

Since ancient times, it is nothing new for brothers to fight against each other when they go up to the royal family or down to the homes of ordinary merchants. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. It cannot be said that the second prince's thinking is wrong.

However, although the second prince had this intention, he couldn't do without a suitable excuse. Later, because of a sensational case in the capital, the second prince found an opportunity to use his name as the king of the Qing Dynasty to rebel in an open and honest manner.

However, that young Tubo king was not a good stubbler, and he had all kinds of thoughts. Since he had not become the Tubo king, he had already begun to guard against his younger brother who held a heavy army. A lot of eyeliner, but also secretly cultivate their cronies.The second prince thought that he had the military power in his hands, so he was confident, but he didn't know that the soldiers in his elder brother's hands were no less powerful than him.

Therefore, as soon as the second prince raised his flag to rebel, the king of Tubo responded in a timely manner, which was beyond the plan of the second prince.But in the end, he is a general who has been in charge of the army for many years. No matter what aspect he has, he has more experience than the king of Tubo.In the early stage of the battle for the throne, he had a clear advantage.

It's just that the king of Tubo has the right to be the head of the throne and is orthodox, and there are quite a few people who support him. Although he was at a disadvantage in the early stage, as time went by, his advantages also emerged.By the mid-term, it was already possible to draw with the second prince.

The battle for the throne in Tubo was raging, and the people were suffering because of the war. They prayed every day that someone could end this chaotic situation.They neither wanted the eldest prince to continue occupying the position of the king of Tubo, nor did they want the second prince to take the throne. Whoever was the king of Tubo would make life difficult for the people.

I don't know if praying is really useful. The battle for the throne has been going on for half a year, and someone really came out to end the chaotic situation.

This hero who saved the people of Tubo was the youngest brother of the first Tubo king and the uncle of the two princes. He was not too old, and he was a year younger than the eldest prince who was already in his thirties.When the king of Tubo was alive, he raised this younger brother as his son. He really held it in his mouth for fear of melting, and held it in his hands for fear of falling.But the king of Tubo also knew that if he spoiled him so much, he would definitely make countless enemies for his younger brother. The two biggest enemies were his two sons.In order for his younger brother to still live a comfortable life after his death, he specially sealed off a place far away from the capital. Not only did his younger brother give him whatever he wanted, but he also allocated heavy troops to him.This little Uncle Wang is also a capable person. He manages his fief in an orderly manner. The people in the fief can live as smoothly as possible. To the outside world, the entire fief is like an iron bucket, just like a country of China.

I don't know where this little uncle Wang got the news that these two uneasy nephews were fighting fiercely for the throne, and they urgently needed a senior elder to stop it.So, he followed the advice of his subordinates, led his elite soldiers, and defeated the two nephews neatly.

After the war ended, Uncle Wang wanted to retire, but he couldn't stand the pressure of the Tubo officials to die, so he had no choice but to ascend the throne and become the new Tubo king.

"Oh, it doesn't sound too strange when the story comes to this point." Shen Cha blinked and looked at Jin Jing, "It's exactly the same as Duan's. The one who is most favored by Duan's now is in the same situation as this little uncle Wang. It's the same."

"I reckon that the king of Tubo has already made up his mind, and that he wants to pass the throne to his beloved younger brother, but it's not justified." Jin Jing nodded and looked at Qi Zhifeng, "Is this the end? What does it have to do with your Liao Kingdom? Just because the two princes were born to Princess Xinhe of the Liao Kingdom, you can't just pour this basin of dirty water on her head? If that's the case, it would be too much!"

"Don't be impatient, you two, the story is not finished yet, the strange thing is in the back! We also thought about it before, probably the elder brother of the king of Tubo didn't want to see his son, and wanted to pass the throne to his younger brother, which caused such a fuss But in fact, that's not the case at all." Qi Zhifeng waved his hand, "After this little uncle became king, in addition to rewarding meritorious officials according to the usual practice, he also wanted to confer his own princess."

"Isn't this normal?"

"It's strange, this princess is none other than Princess Xinhe."

"Ah?" Shen Cha and Jin Jing were taken aback when they heard this, "What...what's going on?"

"Didn't I say it before, the little uncle Wang was a year younger than the eldest prince, and his mother passed away not long after he was left. First, the king of Tubo felt sorry for his younger brother who had no one to take care of him, so he put his younger brother Hug him to his side and raise him with his son." Qi Zhifeng rubbed his chin in embarrassment, "I don't know when Uncle Wang and Princess Xinhe saw each other right..."

"This..." Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other, "It's really a strange thing, but... the eldest prince is the king, and Princess Xinhe is the biological mother, shouldn't she live in the palace and enjoy the glory. And this Little Uncle Wang left the capital early and went to the fiefdom. When he was young, he was raised by his side, of course he had feelings, but living in two places and not seeing each other all year round, where did the feelings come from?"

"The king of Tubo was afraid that his younger brother would not be taken care of when he arrived in the fiefdom, so he asked Princess Xinhe to take care of the inner house. As a result... he was taken care of like this. I don't know if the king of Tubo knows the inside story." Qi Zhifeng said softly. Sighing, "It's really embarrassing to say this. Princess Xinhe is an elder after all. As a junior, it's not easy to discuss the rights and wrongs of elders, but... the civil strife in Tubo was caused by her alone. She couldn't bear the prosperity of the capital. He also wanted to stay with Uncle Xiao Wang day and night, so he instigated the two sons to fight, and then through the mouth of Uncle Wang's staff, he encouraged him to put down the chaos." He spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's no wonder she is so troubled. Tubo will implicate the Liao people. Your majesty thinks that we are in the wrong, as long as the Tubo people don't make any big troubles, they can fight if they want to."

"When did your majesty have such a good temper?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it his usual style to let people step on his head to do his best? Isn't it his usual style? What kind of backhand is there?"

"That's for sure, Your Majesty and Alan..., um, and Anan, when talking about the barbarians in Tubo, they always look mysterious, maybe they're holding back something bad!"

"Look at you, you're upset because they're holding back and didn't tell you, are you?" Jin Jing stretched out her hand and patted Qi Zhifeng's shoulder, "Listen to brother, this is family affairs after all, after all, you If it's a foreign minister, it's better not to get involved."

"I understand, it's just..." Qi Zhifeng rolled his eyes angrily, "Forget it, anyway, they won't let me interfere in this matter, and I don't bother to care about it. If you depend on me, I won't swallow it. Then The Xinhe princess has been married for more than [-] years, and she should be in her forties this year. What she wants to do and how she wants to do it is beyond our control. Besides..." He dismissed her disgustedly She curled her lips, "She's just a daughter of the clan. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no suitable candidate to go to Tubo to get married, she wouldn't be in the right place."

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "If you want to seriously discuss the responsibility, the Tubo king's responsibility is not small. This kind of thing, a slap can't be slapped, if the Tubo king didn't think about it, Princess Xinhe No matter how hard you try, you can't find any flowers. Besides, if there is no Princess Xinhe, he is just a vassal king now, living his small life in his fief, where would he be today? Not to mention His subordinate officials are showing off their power in other countries. How is it different from repaying kindness and revenge if you get cheap and act good?"

"Sister Xiaocha is right. Who... Anan, Anan also said the same thing. So, I knew that they would not let the Tubo people do whatever they wanted, but I don't know how it will happen."

Seeing Mei Lin and Mei Zhu leading a few guards in with a steaming pot, Shen Cha waved at Jin Jing and Qi Zhifeng, and stopped talking.

"General, the snow is getting heavier and heavier." Mei Lin moved closer to Shen Cha, "Master Qi..."

"Sister Meilin, don't worry, I'm staying in the inn today, just ask my sister to send someone to deliver a message to my family." Seeing the mutton pot in front of him, Qi Zhifeng's eyes never moved again. Not open.

"Just want to send a message to your home?" Jin Jing's face flashed a smirk, and she teased, "Don't you need to tell Mr. Nan?"

"Why are you telling him, I'm not his!" Qi Zhifeng rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice.

Hearing what he said, both Shen Cha and Jin Jing expressed surprise. Looking at his appearance, there seemed to be some misunderstanding between the two of them, otherwise, according to this kid's temperament, they would have been inseparable from him for a long time. Brother Anan is gone, how can he be reluctant to mention his name like just now.

"Send someone to the residence of Mr. Qi and Mr. Nan to tell them that the snow is falling too much. I am afraid that the road will be unsafe, so I will stay with Mr. Qi for a night. Please rest assured."

"Yes, General!"

Seeing Mei Lin and Mei Zhu lead the guards out of the tea room, Shen Cha picked up the chopsticks and nodded towards Qi Zhifeng who was looking eagerly at him.

"Don't look at it, haven't you been thinking about this for a long time? Eat it quickly!"

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Seeing Qi Zhifeng start to gobble it up, Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other. From the moment the kid entered the door, they could tell that he was worried.

The boy opened his mouth and kept saying that he wanted to tell them about the recent events in the city. In their view, this was just an excuse, and what he really wanted to talk about must have something to do with Yelunan.

Shen Cha put the mutton soup in a bowl, drank it in small sips, thinking in his heart, after the meal, he would find an excuse to leave the tea room.If she guessed right, Yelunan would come to the inn again after receiving her message.
