Chapter 476 The Long-lasting Truth (Part [-])
The smile on Xiliang King's face faded away, "But I still have my father's badge. He was only three years old at the time, so he could always be found. I turned into a beggar, abandoned the child, and found a scapegoat, so that I could completely give up my mind." Duke’s doubts. I hid in the mountains to summon the old troops, those soldiers who used to be all-powerful on the battlefield, pretended to be refugees and sneaked into Xiliang one after another, so we have today.”

With just a few words, he explained clearly what happened after the destruction of the country. In the face of the heavy national hatred and family feud, the hardships and sufferings of the past twenty years seemed not worth mentioning.

Zhao Chengyuan said, "It's no wonder that the people of Xiliang have been quite strategic in addition to being fierce in recent years. It turns out that it is your credit."

The King of Xiliang squinted at him, "You are General Ghost Face, right? You were the one who saved the prince that day."

"Yes."

The King of Xiliang sighed, "Our uncle and nephew fought to the death on the battlefield, but it took advantage of others... Forget it, we don't know each other if we don't fight. It wasn't this fight. I didn't know that Baorong had a son!"

He patted Zhao Chengyuan on the shoulder and praised, "Good boy, you almost killed me twice. You must have suffered a lot when you were young, and you didn't have the desire to survive. Who can endure those crimes. "

He then snorted coldly, "Then Zhao Chengche is so cruel, how can he make it easier for you."

Zhao Chengyuan didn't intend to mention what he had experienced since he was a child, and who suffered less.

"I don't know much about what happened back then, so let me tell you."

"What happened back then..." When this topic was brought up, the king of Xiliang lost his calmness just now, and his whole body was full of strong hostility.

More than [-] years ago, the national power of the Chu State was unprecedentedly strong, and the king of Chu had the idea of ​​destroying Zhou Beishang, so the first war broke out between the two countries. The scale of the war was unprecedented, and it lasted for a long time.

At that time, the emperor of Dazhou was Emperor Qingxuan. As a prince, he often led troops to fight.A year later, the state of Chu, well-equipped and well-fed, won a big victory and captured Emperor Qingxuan.

The king of Chu admired Emperor Qingxuan's demeanor, and placed him in a courtyard in the palace, treating him with courtesy.The original intention of the king of Chu was that the two countries would cease fighting and discuss peace, and the Great Zhou would cut off ten cities.Emperor Qingxuan said that he would rather die than abandon his ancestors' foundation to survive and feel ashamed of his ancestors.

Emperor Qingxuan was handsome, elegant, and knowledgeable. Princess Baorong fell in love with him at first sight and begged the king of Chu to let him go back to the country.

Princess Baorong is the most beloved little princess of the King of Chu. She is beautiful, lively and well-behaved.However, Emperor Qingxuan was ten years older than her and had a deep relationship with Empress Lu and his wife. The King of Chu did not want his daughter to marry far away as a concubine and be wronged.But Princess Baorong fell in love and couldn't extricate herself.

Seeing that Baorong was getting haggard day by day, the King of Chu gave her to Emperor Qingxuan in a moment of resignation, but he didn't say anything to save Emperor Qingxuan's face.

When Princess Baorong was seven months pregnant, the king of Chu saw that Emperor Qingxuan had a lot of affection for Baorong, and since the child was about to be born, Emperor Qingxuan had no possibility of repenting, so he stopped the war and negotiated peace, and let him return to Zhou.

He made two requests to Emperor Qingxuan: first, to make Baorong the imperial concubine, and there is no need to kneel down to Empress Lu; second, if Baorong gave birth to a prince, he should be made the crown prince.

Emperor Qingxuan solemnly agreed and took Princess Baorong to leave Southern Chu.

Three months later, the King of Chu also received a letter written by Princess Baorong stating that the mother and child are safe.

For the next three years, the King of Chu would receive letters from Princess Baorong every year, with lively words, and it seemed that life was going smoothly.

But after more than three years, Emperor Qingxuan passed away, but Emperor Qingming ascended the throne.

The king of Chu was furious when he heard the news, and sent the prince to Da Zhou to discuss it.The Crown Prince of Southern Chu knew only when he saw Emperor Qingming that the Imperial Concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty was just a false title.There was no Chu princess in Dazhou, and Emperor Qingxuan was never captured.

After Prince Chu returned to the country, the King of Chu attacked Da Zhou again on the grounds of treachery, but Emperor Qingming and Duke Dingguo had already laid a trap. The family died.

Xiliang Wang said, "I once suspected that you were Baorong's child, but after investigation, I found out that Baorong had just arrived in Dazhou when you were born, and she was only seven months pregnant at that time. I came to Xiangping Mansion before being captured, and I believed that you were her son."

There was a chill in his eyes, "I gave birth in July, and I don't know how much Baorong suffered... Their monarchs and ministers betrayed their trust, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and did this to a defenseless woman. Tell me, how can this king spare the royal family of Dazhou? How can I spare the Anling Marquis Mansion, how can I spare Ding Guogong!"

Zhao Chengyuan's phoenix eyes were deep.It turned out that the father had agreed to these two conditions.

He did exactly that, conferring the imperial concubine and crown prince.It's just that the imperial concubine was granted to the dead, and the crown prince was usurped by the eldest son before he could be granted the title.

I don't know what the father thought in his heart when he did these things, whether he had affection for Princess Baorong, whether he felt guilty.

In the death of Princess Baorong, was there any handwriting by the emperor?

There is also the queen mother... In the previous life, the Anling Hou Mansion was finally destroyed, so it was because of the empress mother's involvement. The evidence of treason must have been handed over to Zhao Chen by the king of Xiliang.

"When the queen mother and the emperor's brother arrived at Xiangping Mansion, the father had already been captured. She might have no choice but to cooperate with the whole royal face. Also, the mother queen would let me kowtow to an empty memorial tablet every year, but she didn't tell me who is she."

The King of Xiliang's face darkened, "You want to protect the Marquis of Anling? Yes, you knew your background before, but you still pretended to be a ghost-faced general and came to the border to help the Marquis of Anling. You are grateful for Queen Lu's kindness in nurturing you. , how could she know that she didn't want the mother to be more expensive than the child, and to secure the position of queen!"

Zhao Chengyuan had also guessed that the father he admired most and the queen mother he was most attached to were the enemy who killed his biological mother and the executioner who killed his maternal grandfather.This once became his inner demon, which made him feel so much pain that he almost wanted to become a demon.

Until he arrived at Cangyuan Mountain and met that little girl, who gradually dissolved the hostility in his heart and gradually returned to peace.

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans. Without the many life-saving actions my mother secretly did for me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live now."

Master Qingde was a great help left to him by his mother. During the years when he was young, he was able to escape several assassinations due to Master Qingde.

The queen mother is a woman in the palace, but it took four years to build a private army of [-] people, and he was the master.Later, he gradually grew this private army, so that he had the deterrent power of General Ghost Face today.

And the money used to support the private army is all the rich private property left to him by his mother.

The king of Xiliang snorted coldly, "I thought you were decisive in killing and attacking, and thought you were a ruthless person, but I didn't expect you to be as soft-hearted as Fu Zhang, because of the kindness of nurturing, the country and family have forgotten. "
