"The bandits have entered the city?"

Not long after he came to Queen Jinghe Li's place, Wang Yu heard this sad news that he couldn't believe!
Wang Yu immediately stood up and asked, "How did the bandits enter the city, and how many people are there?"

The visitor said: "That group of thieves had at least a thousand people. They entered the city after Lord Han Anren and Lord Jin An and others. I think...I think it was Lord Han Anren and Lord Jin An who lost..."

Wang Yu said angrily, "Defeated? Even [-] pigs can't be defeated in less than five days!"

No one dared to speak.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, are you... ordering to retreat to the palace first, and then invite the ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters?"

Hearing Mrs. Li's reminder, Wang Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please let Qianniuwei and the prison gate guard retreat into the palace to guard, and notify the ministers to discuss matters!"

Mrs. Li said again: "Should I... go to see General Qianniu and General Jianmen?"

Receiving Li's reminder again, Wang Yu hurriedly said: "The lonely king will come to see you again when the chaos is settled."

After speaking, Wang Yu left in a hurry to meet General Qianniu and General Jianmen.

Mrs. Li was very right in reminding that now there are only two leaders of his guard of honor Qianniuwei and one leader of prison gate guards in charge of guarding the palace and guarding the city gate. If he can hold on to these 3000 troops, he may be able to Turning around, maybe he can get back the royal power he has lost for a long time, "It is impossible for the 3 troops brought by Han Anren and Jin An to be wiped out by these bandits. The method has bypassed the [-] army, as long as they hold for a day or two, the army should be able to return to help, um... There are still a few leading troops near Shangjing, and they can also come to rescue Luocheng."

Thinking that he might be able to get back his long-lost royal power, and then he will be humiliated, Wang Yu's pace began to become steady.

Seeing the back of Wang Yu leaving, Li secretly felt sad!

The royal city is broken, and it is definitely a catastrophe for the daughters of the royal family, because they are the things that the invaders must grab. It does not mean that they are really more beautiful than other women, but their status makes the invaders feel conquered. It's an honor to have them—a great honor.

While praying for Wang Mata to wipe out the thieves smoothly, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel sorry for herself!

In fact, she had only married Wang Yu and became queen for less than a month.

Wang Yu's original queen was not her, but Li Ziqian's second daughter, the mother of Yuanzi Wang Kai, that is, Queen Li Shi of Shunde.

Queen Li of Shunde and her elder sister Li Ziqian's eldest daughter are two very legendary women. I won't say much about their beauty. There are no beautiful women in the Li family of Inju. The key is that the two of them are about to decline. The Li family in Renzhou became brilliant again—in those few years, Wang Yu had no intention of governing, because Li Ziqian married two of his daughters to Wang Yu successively. The power of King Goryeo, and then gained the supreme power.

Since then, Li Ziqian has become more domineering than Li Ziyi, who caused a big disturbance back then, even to the point of being so domineering, because he was afraid that other concubines would share the favor of his two daughters, and also because he was afraid that others would marry Wang Yu and threaten him. Let Wang Yu accept new concubines, and even Wang Yu's son is raised in his own home. It can be said that there are few relatives who are more domineering than Li Ziqian.

Wang Yu, who gradually came to his senses, began to promote Han Anren and others from the local government to distribute Li Ziqian's power.

pity!

Wang Yu woke up too late, and he could no longer shake Li Ziqian's position.

In fact, although Wang Yu and Li Ziqian were fighting against each other at that time, because of the presence of the Li sisters, especially Queen Shunde, the relationship between the two could still be maintained, at least on the surface.

However, God is jealous of her beauty, and the sisters of the Li family died one after another, especially the death of Queen Shunde a few months ago, so that the last bond between Wang Yu and Li Ziqian disappeared. Wang Yu began to try his best to get rid of Li Ziqian's control.

The first face-to-face confrontation between Wang Yu and Li Ziqian was the queen's successor.

Li Ziqian wanted Wang Yu to marry his third daughter as the queen, that is, the master of Yande Palace who later married Wang Yu's son Gao Lirenzong.

But Wang Yu didn't want to increase Li Ziqian's power, so he wanted to imitate his predecessors and marry a royal daughter as his queen, so he personally selected among the royal daughters, and finally chose the daughter of his uncle Xuanzong Wang Yun of Goryeo , that is, his cousin was chosen.

Brother marrying sister?
Isn't this messing around?

This... is really not a problem in Korea.

Don't tell me, I don't know how outrageous the inbreeding marriage of the Koryo royal family is.

The "instigator" of the inbreeding marriage relationship in the Goryeo Dynasty was Wang Jian, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Wang Jian did not have a prominent family background, but was just one of many local wealthy families in the late Silla period.

Although he later founded the Goryeo Dynasty and ascended to the throne, the Goryeo regime in the early days was actually a joint regime of powerful families, and some wealthy families under separate regimes had the strength to challenge the royal power at any time.

In order to stabilize the political power, Wang Jian adopted a variety of methods to win over wealthy families from all over the country, one of the most important methods was to marry the daughters of wealthy families from various places as concubines.

Wang Jian married a total of 29 concubines in his life, many of whom had wealthy backgrounds.

These 29 concubines gave birth to 25 princes and nine princesses for Wang Jian.

Of the nine princesses, six were married to their half-brothers.

Not only that, throughout the Goryeo Dynasty, except for very rare cases, princesses could only marry members of the clan, and foreign marriages were prohibited.

When Dezong arrived in Goryeo, his two concubines were both his half-sisters, and Dezong's mother and his concubine Queen Xiaosi's mother were also sisters.

In the time of Dezong's son Xianzong, his concubine Queen Inpyeong was also his half-sister, and Moon Jong's mother and Queen Inpyeong's mother were also sisters.

Later, Wen Zong married his daughter Princess Jiqing to his son Fuyu Gong Wang Sui, and the mothers of the two children were sisters.

Since the princesses of the Goryeo Dynasty can only marry members of the clan and are forbidden to marry outsiders, there will always be an unequal number of men and women of the same generation, which will give birth to another kind of close relative marriage, that is, the marriage relationship between uncles and nephews, that is, It is said that the uncle married his niece.

The first uncle-nephew marriage in the Goryeo Dynasty occurred during the period of the second King Hyejong of Goryeo. Huizong took the initiative to marry his eldest princess to his own half-brother Wang Zhao.

The second uncle-nephew marriage in the Goryeo Dynasty occurred during the period of King Jeongjong, the third king of Goryeo. That is, Jeongjong married his daughter to his own half-brother.

The two concubines of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo, Queen Wonjeong and Queen Wonha, were also the daughters of his cousin Seongjong, so Hyeonjong also married his own niece.

In addition, there are aunt-nephew marriages.

Didn't Li Ziqian fail to force Wang Yu to marry his third daughter? A few years later, after Wang Yu died, Li Ziqian forced Renzong Wang Kai, who was only 14 years old at the time, to marry his third daughter. Later, he even bought one and got one free for him. The fourth daughter also married Wang Kai.

In short, marrying a cousin is not a matter at all for the Korean royal family, even marrying a sister is not a matter.

Therefore, Queen Jinghe's self-pity was not because she married a cousin who was nearly 20 years older than her, but because her marriage was too rough.

To put it simply:
Li Ziqian was furious when Wang Yu married her and refused to marry Li Ziqian's third daughter. Li Ziqian then forced Wang Yu to observe the festival for his second daughter, Queen Shunde, for three years, and asked Wang Yu to marry her after three years.

Later, after many contests, Wang Yu gave up some power to Li Ziqian, and Li Ziqian agreed to Wang Yu to marry her. People "take care" of her - Li Ziqian's doing this is not only to show Wang Mata his power, but also to show that Wang Mata will not marry Li Ziqian's third daughter.

The situation was so overwhelming that Wang Yu could only endure it.

That is to say, up to now, she and Wang Yu, the fateful mandarin ducks, have had the biggest contact with each other just sitting face to face, drinking tea and chatting.

Now there is an incident of thieves attacking Luocheng, and the palace is in danger of being breached.

If the palace is really breached, she really can't imagine the consequences.

Let me ask, in this situation, how can Queen Jinghe not feel sorry for herself?
