The Concubine's Rebirth: The Poisoned Wife Does Not Bow Down

243 Chapter 18
Rongwang Mansion Luoyingzhai
King Rong was ordered to lead the army, Aunt Yue, mother and daughter, and other wives and daughters in the mansion bid farewell to King Rong and returned to Luoyingzhai, it was already midnight.

Aunt Yue felt sorry for Nie Zhaoyang who stayed up in the middle of the night, and repeatedly urged Nie Zhaoyang to rest quickly, but Nie Zhaoyang didn't feel sleepy at all, and after returning to her room, she tossed and turned thinking about King Rong's words.

Prince Rui, who was far away in Zizhou, intended to rebel, but was caught by Xiao Chengye and Sun Ruoyu, the third sons of Prince Jing's mansion. Not only did they capture Prince Rui's son and daughter who stayed in the imperial capital, but they also took out many unspeakable things. evidence of treason.

This kind of thing sounds really unbelievable. Why did Prince Rui rebel against a well-behaved prince instead of doing it, and even singled out his own two sons and daughters to kick off the curtain of rebellion when they were stranded in the imperial capital? As a commoner, Prince Rui himself became the anti-king who was about to be captured.

In his previous life, Nie Zhaoyang also read some miscellaneous notes of unofficial history that Aunt Yue hid in her room. In the book, when the royal family seized the throne, there was always smoke and flames and rivers of blood. Whenever Nie Zhaoyang read such stories, he always felt very lively. It's also very interesting, but now that this story really happened before my eyes, it really makes people feel inexplicably sad.

Although Nie Zhaoyang doesn't know much about military and state affairs, he also vaguely understands from the books he read in his previous life that since ancient times, the power of heaven has been unpredictable, and the king's heart has been difficult to guess.

In troubled times, the monarch and his ministers are of one mind, regardless of each other, and quickly conquer the country, but once the world is peaceful, those courtiers or royal brothers who have helped the emperor to fight for the country will inevitably face the fate of being jealous of the emperor, so the book says that many have The princes of the fiefs would send their children under the eyes of the emperor in order to show their loyalty to the emperor and make the emperor feel at ease with him.

And the meaning of the pair of sons and daughters that Prince Rui stayed in the imperial capital to the emperor should be the same.He obviously left a pair of direct relatives and children in the imperial capital as hostages, but Prince Rui still raised the banner of rebellion for the throne of power.

Compared with the sons and daughters of Prince Rui who were already in prison, Nie Zhaoyang suddenly felt that he was actually very lucky.Although King Rong ignored her for more than ten years, he never killed her after all.Now after exposing the misunderstanding between King Rong and Aunt Yue, King Rong can be said to love her quite a lot, and today, because of Nie Zhaoyang's crying, he vaguely rejected the marriage of Shangshufu.

Nie Zhaoyang remembered that before, he was secretly angry with King Rong because of King Rong's hesitation about this marriage, but at this moment Nie Zhaoyang felt that he could understand King Rong's mood.

Not only Prince Rui sent a pair of direct relatives' children to the imperial capital, but even Prince Jing, who was a compatriot with the emperor's mother, also sent his direct relative's son Xiao Chengye to the imperial capital. A military general who was able to be named a marquis and a prime minister because of his outstanding military achievements.

Even Prince Rui and Prince Jing would inevitably be suspected by the emperor, let alone Prince Rong who had no blood relationship with the emperor and only relied on military exploits?

No wonder King Rong always kept a low profile, and whenever he returned from leading the army, he would always hand in the soldier talisman immediately.It turns out that the head is here.

Thinking about it now, Nie Zhaoyang suddenly felt that he understood King Rong's desire to use the marriage of his children to win over his in-laws.

Perhaps, the reason why he agreed to marry Shang Shufu and arranged for Nie Zhaoyang to marry him was not because King Rong didn't love Nie Zhaoyang, nor was it because King Rong was too greedy for power and only wanted to pursue his official career, but because King Rong was in such an embarrassing position. So I have to think more about the safety of the whole family.
