To talk about Crown Prince Xiyan, we have to talk about his father, Prince Gong.

Prince Gong is the younger brother of the current emperor. He has been intelligent and studious since he was a child, and is capable of both civil and military arts. Among them, he is the most skilled in martial arts. He became famous in one battle when he was young. He entered the army at the age of sixteen and became a famous general of the Ying Kingdom in less than five years.

, holding in his hands the greatest military power of the Ying Kingdom.

In fact, the current emperor was not the most favored among the many princes at that time. Although he was outstanding in all aspects, he was not the legitimate son after all, and there were not many people who supported him. In the end, he was able to get his wish and sit on the throne, Prince Gong, who contributed a lot to it.

Of course, the emperor is not an ungrateful person. When he was conferring titles on meritorious officials, he was granted the title of King of Honor, one hundred thousand fiefs, and five cities. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune. But Prince Gong did not intend to do this. He was rewarded with fame and fame.

He rejected them all and resolutely returned to his favorite battlefield.

The emperor could not dissuade him, so Yu Li made him Prince Gong as compensation.

The emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and Prince Gong has also been guarding the territory for more than 20 years. Over the past 20 years, he has become more and more courageous in battles, has outstanding military achievements, and is highly praised by others. The emperor loves him even more. Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances.

Two months ago, the border town of neighboring Jiang State launched a group attack on Ying State, resulting in dozens of civilian deaths and injuries, and everyone there complained.

At first, Prince Gong thought that the matter was not serious. Jiang and Ying had been friends for decades and could not impulsively use force to ruin the friendship between the two countries. He secretly swallowed his bad breath. However, the people of Jiang thought that Ying was afraid of them. As time went by,

Chang Geng intensified the situation, making the people there panic. Finally, Prince Gong could not bear it anymore and led his troops to quell the chaos.

The Ying State's national power was much stronger than that of its neighboring country Jiang State, and there was no need to fear Ying State's military force. However, Jiang State's generals were very shameless. Instead of attacking directly, they found local children of several years old to poison Prince Gong.

Prince Gong was kind-hearted and unprepared, and eventually died, leaving behind a wife and one son.

When this incident came out, the emperor was furious and ordered to send troops to defeat the Jiang Kingdom. Later, the Emperor of the Jiang Kingdom was afraid that the two countries would really fight and the gain would outweigh the gains. He beheaded the two generals who fought against Prince Gong. He sent countless treasures and even wrote a letter of apology in his own hand.

The letter serves as an apology, and finally the matter is settled.

The news of Prince Gong's poisoning and death reached Kyoto. Princess Gong couldn't bear the blow for a while, so she cut her neck with a sword and died in love, leaving the only four-year-old Crown Prince Xiyan in the world.

After the master's death, the trees in Prince Gong's mansion fell apart. The Queen Mother was saddened by the loss of her beloved son and felt pity for Crown Prince Xiyan. She planned to raise Prince Xiyan after a month of filial piety. However, the Queen Mother was already over sixty years old, old and mentally and physically weak.

, the emperor couldn't bear his mother to work day and night, and finally thought about it and decided to ask who in the Tian family clan was willing to take her in.

To be honest, this is a thankless job. It is better to say that it is an entrustment than an adoption. In fact, it is not a disadvantage if it is an adoption. The adopter finally has an extra son, and he is named after the adopter.

.But this matter is quite special. The Queen Mother couldn't bear to have her son's only bloodline cut off, so she gave Crown Prince Xiyan a choice, saying that if he wanted to recognize his biological father when he reached adulthood, he could still do so. In other words, the adopted person not only needed to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also

Moreover, it takes a lot of effort and effort to keep records, but the result is that you may get nothing.

Therefore, even when the emperor asked about this hard work, no one said he was willing.

And in the end, someone somehow thought of the second prince who had no wife, no children, and was disabled. The emperor immediately asked the second prince about his wishes as usual. It was hard for the emperor to shirk the second prince when he asked him. In the end, the matter was decided like this.
