A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 585: Parental Love VII

But Lord Suxing endured it and became a loyal minister, respectfully assisting the little empress in her cradle and serving the "Grand Empress Dowager" in a proper manner. She was so angry that all the generals and the civil and military officials under her command took turns to lecture her, forcing her to seize the throne. They also said: If you don't sit on the throne, there are many people who will sit on it. If you don't create rebellion, there are people who will create it!
In an instant, the government and the people were on the verge of war, and the separatist movement was imminent.

At this time! The military strategist code-named "Heavenly Star" under the command of Lord Suxing, Wang Yuanbaoju, a member of the royal family, came out to ask for marriage. He said that his cousin was almost 20 years old and still had no lover. If you want to achieve great things, it would be unworthy if you don't get married. The civil and military officials in the court then remembered the important event of their Khan's birthday, and at the same time they all advised the princess to get married and marry a prince consort.

At this time, the court received a letter of surrender. Wuchuan Dugu Ruyuan wanted to go to Luoyang with his family to ask for marriage from the regent.

Dugu appeared as he wished when Yuan Mingjing was in a high position as an official with great power but lacked a virtuous wife. He brought the hundred-year loyalty of the Dugu tribe as a dowry, returned the Moye Sword and asked the female Khan to marry him as her consort.

After thousands of years of wandering in troubled times, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye once again witnessed a passionate love.

From then on, he was her first wife, and they were married according to the Han rites. Dugu married Lanling Princess Yuan Mingjing as she wished, instead of Suxing Fujun, who was the regent of the court.

In Princess Luoyang's mansion, on their wedding night, the regent who held great power in the Heavenly Kingdom comforted him affectionately, saying: When we pacify the Central Plains in the future, I will definitely take him back to Gaxian Cave in the northern frontier to worship our ancestors.

Dugu Ruyuan was not obsessed with worshiping his ancestors. He thought that since he was already married to her, he should follow his wife and be with her through thick and thin.

When a young man who grew up on the grassland on horseback married to a man from the Central Plains for love, he had to learn too much at once. Even though the cumbersome Han costumes wrapped around him like shackles, even the armor was gaudy and heavy, and even speaking and communicating was a little difficult, Dugu Ruyuan was still happy with it.

After all, his beloved wife tied the belts of his Hanfu robes and taught him to speak Chinese. Even the complicated rules of etiquette and the cultural classics left by the people of the Central Plains for thousands of years were taught by the regent princess herself.

During this period, Dugu Ruyuan felt that he was the happiest man in the world. But the men in the north were arrogant and proud. Since he was a son-in-law who married into the Central Plains, he could not disobey his beloved wife, so he used his riding and archery skills to become her most loyal general, and used his appearance, relying on the fact that she liked his face, to drive away all the men who tried to get close to her.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Dugu Ruyuan was Yuan Mingjing's first love when he had nothing, a piece of driftwood when he was drowning, and the first brick and tile for starting a business from scratch. He watched her grow from a young girl of marriageable age to the Lord of Suxing Mansion with a sturdy figure, iron-blooded tactics, and the regent dynasty with the world in mind.

He was a flower in the northern frontier, a tribal chieftain, but in the Central Plains, which was full of talented people, his proud riding and archery could not compare with his first wife Yuan Mingjing, let alone the generals and extraordinary people in the court. In the Suxing Mansion alone, he, the second-in-command "Wu Quxing" under the title "Ziweixing" Lord, seemed unworthy of his position.

Even a handsome appearance like his is not uncommon in Central Plains, and there are several such people around her.

Such as Gao Huan and his son, her counselor Wei Xiaokuan, and her cousin "Tianjixing", her military advisor... Although he was regarded as "the most beautiful Xianbei" for the sake of Tianmu Khan, Dugu Ruyuan knew clearly that his beauty was by no means unique in Luoyang, the capital of the Celestial Empire.

At the same time, Dugu Ruyuan also realized with inferiority that in the past few years of separation, her military advisors who gave her advice and brave generals who charged into battle were already full, and the position left for him was just that of a "prince consort" or "husband of the Lord of the Mansion".

Even his position as the original wife was coveted by others. Some said that he suddenly appeared and snatched the position originally belonging to someone else, and some wanted to become her concubine... During the time as a husband in Luoyang, Dugu Ruyuan learned to be restrained and observe people's words and expressions from a silly boy who practiced martial arts in the north. However, he knew that many men were vying for power around his beloved wife, and they also wanted to compete with him for favor, and they tried to trip him up or down, making him make mistakes, embarrass himself, and lose face... But he had not learned how to deal with these intrigues and darkness.

It was not until Dugu Ruyuan's former master was killed by Erzhu Rong that the suppressed rebel army replaced its violent leader with a real rebellion, shocking the imperial court.

Now, the Northern Wei court faces only two options. One is that the vast empire is broken up by various forces and divided into different factions, and the empire is destroyed in the hands of the regent Yuan Mingjing and her puppet emperor nephew.

Another possibility is that Yuan Mingjing recruited many concubines into her harem, married several leaders of powerful forces close to her, and led the men to seize the throne and become empress.

When this choice fell upon Dugu Ruyuan, he had not yet accepted that his wife was going to be taken away by another man, and his cousin Yuan Baoju, with whom she had a childhood engagement, was going to become the queen and continue the glory of the Yuan family.

Dugu Ruyuan then realized that, yes, her husband would be the queen, but could she still hold on to the position of queen?

The royal families of the Celestial Empire were powerful and intertwined, and they were by no means comparable to the tribal conflicts in the northern frontier. The power of the heroes was like that of the vassal states, and Dugu's tribe could not resist any of them. So in this "vassal state competition for the throne", everyone forced Dugu to divorce her as he wished.

He didn't want to leave her, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.

At this time, rumors spread that Dugu Ruyuan was dissatisfied with the Regent Princess' infertility and had an affair with a woman from the Ru Luo family, and that the adulterous woman became pregnant!

He hurriedly sent people to look for the pregnant woman in the rumor, but found his old master's wife. She was a very young woman, but she was also the old master's second wife, and she was pregnant with his old master's posthumous child.

The whole family advised him to be grateful for the kindness of his former master, and to leave his beloved wife by taking advantage of the situation, which would also make the princess feel guilty and think of his kindness. But Dugu Ru was unwilling to change from his original wife to a concubine.

At this moment, Dugu Ruyuan showed her four-month pregnant belly and calmly told Yuan Mingjing that she was pregnant.

It is rumored that women of the Huaxu and Nuwa lineage all have Lushu blood that can make men pregnant. Although it is rare, Dugu Ruyuan has been married to her for so long, how could he not be aware of the changes in his body?
Just as a woman cannot get pregnant again after getting pregnant, a man cannot make another woman pregnant when he is pregnant. Now that he showed his slightly bulging belly, Dugu Ruyuan's grievance was naturally cleared on the spot.

But even if Dugu said she was pregnant as he wished, the world would not believe him. The only one who believed him was his beloved wife's cousin. It was because he believed his cousin wrongly that he drank the "musk" pregnancy medicine that the cousin personally sent to him, causing his baby to miscarry!
This was the first time that Dugu Ruyuan personally experienced palace fighting. It was also the first time that he realized that even though he had lost his baby, his wife, in order to so-called weigh the pros and cons, favored the murderer who killed the child.

Obviously, it was a prince of the royal family who killed her own flesh and blood and the royal heir, but Tianmu Khan of the Wei Dynasty wrote him a "Book of Divorce and Release from Husband", and granted him his wife, children, land and houses to return to their father's home, which was very generous of her.

But Dugu was very sad.
