Chapter 432 Past (1)
Prince Hongxi is the crown prince in name, but this prince is not very stable, not to mention the eight ambitious brothers, even the courtiers below rarely support him. The first emperor left a mess to Empress Dowager Yide, but asked Prince Hongxi to calm down this chaotic country.
Each of the eight brothers occupies the mountain as king and wants to force the palace. Empress Dowager Yide has nothing to do here, except to seek foreign aid. At that time, a person appeared, the princess of Dongyi Kingdom, Qiman. Prince Hongxi not only possesses both ability and political integrity, and has the world in mind, he is also born handsome and personable. At that time, Dongyi Kingdom had not yet been destroyed, and its strength should not be underestimated. This princess once met Prince Hongxi when she came to Dajin from afar, and she secretly liked her, but unfortunately Prince Hongxi politely declined.
The concubine of Prince Hongxi was Xiang Xiaoyuan, the first medical girl in the Dajin Dynasty. Although Xiang Xiaoyuan was not as beautiful as Qiman, she had good medical skills and had many strange things in her mind. Son. She was not born in an official family, but came out of the mountains, and once helped a dying first-rank minister to save his life. It is said that she had undergone some "surgery" and entered the palace to obtain the official position of a medical lady. It took a lot of trouble for Prince Hongxi and her to get married in the end, but fortunately, she finally embraced the beauty. Prince Hongxi has always kept himself clean in matters of men and women, and he and Xiang Xiaoyuan are in love with each other sincerely. There is a princess named Xiang Xiaoyuan in the backyard, and there is no connecting room. A ridiculous proposal from the princess.
It's just that this is irrational in the eyes of Queen Mother Yide. It is true that she also likes Xiang Xiaoyuan's intelligence and vision and heart that are different from any woman. However, it is not a wise king to give up the great cause of the country because of a woman. Perhaps Prince Hongxi is indeed not a competent emperor, and his heart is not cruel enough, but he is indeed a good husband and father.
Qiman said that if Prince Hongxi agrees, Dongyi Kingdom can borrow 100,000 soldiers to help Dajin Chaoping the Eight Kings' rebellion. Prince Hongxi should not, but the current emperor has quit. The emperor and Prince Hongxi have been close since childhood. The two brothers thought of everything when they were young, even the woman they liked. But in Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes, the emperor is just a little brother, and he can only watch her get married with his elder brother.
Perhaps because of jealousy and unwillingness in his heart, or because he is more suitable to be an emperor than Prince Hongxi, he promised Qiman that he could find a way to let Qiman get Prince Hongxi first, and then send troops to help the Dajin Dynasty. The emperor's original intention was actually just an expedient measure. He thought it was just a love between a man and a woman, and Prince Hongxi had nothing to lose in the end. As long as Qi Man is temporarily appeased, after the rebellion of the Eight Kings is vindicated, it is also possible to find a reason to kick Qi Man away.
The only variable is Xiang Xiaoyuan. Xiang Xiaoyuan is emotionally different from any woman in this world. She pays attention to the fact that a man can only have one woman in his life, and three wives and four concubines are sins. This is outrageous in the Jin Dynasty, but Prince Hongxi agreed. No matter how many people put pressure on them at the beginning, Prince Hongxi's attitude was always very firm. The emperor thought that he couldn't do what Prince Hongxi did, and he didn't mock in his heart and waited to look at Xiaoyuan's disappointment, but everyone was shocked, and the happy smile on Xiang Xiaoyuan's face was blinding, Prince Hongxi did it.
If Xiang Xiaoyuan knew about this matter, I don't know how much change it would cause, but for the sake of Da Jinchao, and perhaps also because of the dark thoughts in the emperor's heart, he finally made this decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.
At that time, Xiang Xiaoyuan had just given birth to Xiao Shao, and Xiao Shao had just reached the full moon. On the day of full moon wine, countless guests came and went, and the scene was very lively.
How Qiman and Prince Hongxi rolled on the bed in the end, the emperor must have put in a lot of effort, but when Xiang Xiaoyuan saw the scene in front of him that day, he did not lose his temper as everyone thought. She talked and laughed at Yan Yan without any troubles, which made Prince Hongxi lose face, and also made Qi Man, who was originally provocative and watching the excitement, have nothing to say in the end.
Xiang Xiaoyuan personally married Qiman for Prince Hongxi and came back.
Xiang Xiaoyuan has a fiery temper, and has a desire to possess more than ordinary people in emotional matters, but in the end he is also a person who cares about the general situation. He prioritized many things, but silently swallowed the bitterness in his heart, for the peace of Jin Dynasty.
Prince Hongxi was plotted against by his own younger brother, and hated Qiman very much, so begging for perfection from Xiaoyuan made him feel more pity for his wife. Not only did the two not have a estrangement because of this matter, but they became closer. But for Qiman who lives in the palace, the two just act as if there is no such person.
It's also because everyone underestimated the princess of Dongyi Kingdom's methods, or thought that she was just a woman, so she probably wouldn't be able to make any troubles. Who knows that women's jealousy is terrible, and Qiman can't bear the fact that her beloved treats her with contempt, but speaks softly to other women. Dongyi Kingdom was already good at using the secret arts of warlocks, but she actually controlled Xiang Xiaoyuan and planted an extremely terrifying Gu poison on her body. She originally wanted to use Xiang Xiaoyuan to control Prince Hongxi, but Xiang Xiaoyuan is a fierce person. She knows that the prince of a country and the future prince cannot be controlled by a woman, so she just left on her own. She already has superb medical skills. If you want to find a place to detoxify yourself, if you can't, it's good to die outside.
Destiny always silently strikes people with fatal blows, Xiang Xiaoyuan's departure turned out to be a farewell to Prince Hongxi in the end. In the end, she still couldn't dispel the gu, and not long after, someone came to the door with Xiang Xiaoyuan's ashes, and that person was none other than Mr. Baqi. Although Mr. Baqi is older than Xiang Xiaoyuan, he can be regarded as Xiang Xiaoyuan's apprentice. When Xiang Xiaoyuan was not in Beijing, he lived with Mr. Baqi in the mountains. Xiang Xiaoyuan taught all his life's medical skills, and Mr. Baqi inherited her medical skills and recognized her as a young little master.
Prince Hongxi suffered a huge blow and was about to kill Qiman, but Queen Mother Yide stopped him. Qiman said that as long as Prince Hongxi treats him well, Dongyi Kingdom's 100,000 soldiers and horses can still be loaned out. However, he was rejected by Prince Hongxi. He took Xiao Shao, who was still in his infancy, to go out to quell the chaos in person. He only left a letter, saying that the position of emperor is not suitable for him after all, but before that However, since Xiang Xiaoyuan had already sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation, he would always hand over the country to the emperor's hands without incident.
How the prince who ruled the country and the world took the lead in the rebellion of the Eight Kings and was invincible is recorded in history books. It's just that one of them cannot be recorded in the tragic books of the war. Prince Hongxi himself paid a lot of price. Wai, the soldiers came for him. Prince Hongxi would rather die than submit. He fought to the end, and finally died under the trampling of thousands of horses. And the little prince also died in that war.
