When it comes to the past and present life of Prince Rong's Mansion, the old and young neighbors of Lin'an Mansion can talk about it for one and a half paragraphs more eloquently than the storytellers in Beiwazi.

Why is this? Naturally, it’s because a real dragon came out of Prince Rong’s Mansion!

At that time, Taizu founded the country, but died young. Unexpectedly, the throne was not inherited by his son, Prince Dezhao, but was snatched away by his younger brother, King Zhao Guangyi of Jin, with the promise of the Golden Chamber Covenant. After that, the country of the Song Dynasty was changed to

It was passed down through the lineage of Emperor Taizong.

After Yi Guan traveled south, Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne. However, he had few heirs for many years, and the only Crown Prince Ming Shou died young because he was still frightened.

Emperor Gaozong himself encountered some special changes and suffered from rotten disease, which caused the harem to be infertile.

Later, he selected King Jian from the Taizu lineage as his successor, returning the throne to the Taizu lineage, and also set a precedent for future emperors to adopt a sideline.

The late Emperor Lizong was an emperor created in the same way.

He was the successor selected from among the descendants of the clan by Shi Miyuan, the then powerful prime minister, and Prince Rong was the brother of Emperor Lizong's mother.

The process of Emperor Lizong's accession to the throne was quite dramatic——

It is said that at that time, Emperor Ning Zong's eight biological sons all died in infancy, so he had no choice but to make Zhao Hong, a descendant of the clan, a prince and the Duke of Qi.

However, Qi Guogong was at odds with Shi Miyuan, the then powerful prime minister. Shi Miyuan was worried that he would be detrimental to him if he came to power, so he quietly ordered his aide Yu Tianxi to find the disciples of the clan with good moral character and come back to wait for an opportunity to bring down Qi Guogong.

Let him inherit the throne.

After Yu Tianxi received the appointment, he searched around for the clan's bloodline, but never found a suitable candidate.

Once, when Yu Tianxi and a monk friend were passing through Shaoxing, they encountered heavy rain. The monk invited him to take shelter from the rain at the home of the village's head Quanbao.

When Chief Quan Bao heard that this person was a guest of the Prime Minister, he naturally entertained him warmly. He also summoned his two grandsons to come out to meet the guest, and introduced to Yu Tianxi that the two sons were descendants of the royal family: his elder brothers, Zhao and Ju, who later became Emperor Lizong;

His younger brother, Zhao Yurui, is now King Rong.

At that time, Yu Tianxi saw that both brothers had good looks and decent manners, so he recommended them to his boss Shi Miyuan.

Upon hearing this, Chief Quan was overjoyed and sent his two grandsons to Xingzai with great fanfare. However, Shi Miyuan felt that the incident was too popular, so he deliberately ignored them and sent his two sons back not long after.

For a time, the whole family was ridiculed, and the second son was also very depressed.

But a year later, Shi Miyuan sent someone to quietly pick up the two sons, and later named his eldest brothers Zhao and Ju as kings of Yi. After Ningzong died, he and the then Queen Yang deposed Qi Guogong Zhao Hong and made King Yi the emperor.

.

From then on, Prince Zhao and Rui followed his brother, ascended the throne together, were granted the title of king, and became noble for a while.

Even later, when his brother had no successor to the throne, he single-mindedly chose Prince Rong to inherit the throne, who is now the official Zhao Yu who lives in the Chui Gong Palace on Fenghuang Mountain.

In this way, Prince Rong's Mansion is naturally the home of the first-class princes and princes in Lin'an Mansion.

However, the official family was not the biological daughter of Princess Rong Li, but descended from her dowry maid Huang.

There is a popular saying——

At that time, Huang was beautiful and gentle, so she was noticed by King Rong, so she took her as his concubine, and she even became pregnant with her child soon after.

However, the mistress had no children and was worried that her status would be threatened if the child was a son, so she deliberately forced Huang to have an abortion.

Unexpectedly, Huang's unborn son probably had the appearance of a real dragon and was extremely stubborn. He was not killed even with medicine, and was finally born.

The only pity is that the abortion pill has a great impact on the child's intelligence, so that the child cannot walk until he is five years old, and he cannot speak until he is seven years old.

But even so, it did not prevent him from ascending to the throne of the Supreme Song Dynasty in the 95th year of the Song Dynasty.

However, there are different opinions on the truth of this matter, but Princess Rong herself laughed off such rumors.

She comes from an aristocratic family, is well-educated, has a mellow temperament, and is tolerant and magnanimous. She goes beyond poisoning a pregnant concubine who does not know her gender. If so, how could the other concubines of King Rong be able to give birth to children safely?

She doesn't have to do such a thing, and she doesn't even bother to do it!

Wealth and glory were nothing but smoke to her, and half of her life had passed, and the only thing she couldn't get over in her heart was her long-lost biological daughter, Princess Puning's family.
