Chapter 152
Previous Dynasty
Thinking of the past, Xie Shi'an's mouth became astringent, and the smile disappeared from his face. He just looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and the white areas were in a daze.
The lineage of Zhen Guogong were originally military generals from Daliang in the previous dynasty. They were knighted for their military achievements and stationed in northern Xinjiang. It was passed down to Xie Shi'an's great-grandfather, who was the last generation of Dingbei Marquis.
During the more than 160 years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, there have been countless wise kings, famous ministers and good generals. Unfortunately, during the reign of Emperor Wen, it seemed to be reviving, but it was full of crises. Emperor Wen reigned for a long time and had many children and grandchildren, but the crown prince who was his legitimate son was frail and sickly.
Emperor Wen often had the intention of abolishing his direct descendants and establishing virtuous people, but he never took action. Emperor Wen's disciples were dazzling in appearance, both civil and military, and there were many outstanding ones.
Emperor Wen was hesitant, but the queen had no choice but to take action and contact the generals to ensure that the prince was safe. The relatives gained power through this, and the generals became stronger. Although they were able to compete with the kings, they laid the foundation for the country's disaster.
Afterwards, the crown prince succeeded to the throne as Emperor Gong. Emperor Gong was weak and sick, and most political affairs were handled by the harem and eunuchs. Eunuchs, relatives of relatives, had always been the source of political chaos. In addition, the kings were powerful and the generals had soldiers.
Since the reign of Emperor Gong, there have been numerous wars and chaos. Either the princes are killing the eunuchs in the name of the Qing emperor, or the military generals are killing the relatives in the name of villains. Over time, the relatives and eunuchs have declined, but the power of the princes and kings has become increasingly powerful and vague.
Can compete with the imperial court.
Afterwards, Emperor Gong died of illness, and the young emperor succeeded to the throne. The emperor's young mother grew strong, and the queen's family fought for power with the queen mother's family. Foreign relatives came one after another, and the He family dynasty was thrown into chaos.
After that, the princes came together, and through the two dynasties of Emperor Ai and Emperor Shang, the He family finally perished at the hands of the Zhou family. The Taizu of the Zhou family conquered the world and established the great Chu. Up to now, he is already the third generation emperor Su Zong.
The Xie family was originally the Dingbei Marquis of Daliang in the previous dynasty. Xie Feng sized up the situation, abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and became Taizu's right-hand man. After the founding of the country, Taizu wanted to give the Xie family a king. Xie Feng resigned and finally got the title of Zhenguo Gong.
Three generations of kings of the East China Sea died, but the next king of England suddenly had the birth mother of the He family.
King Donghai was originally the youngest brother of Queen He, but he had always been weak and sickly. When Taizu passed away, the first generation of King Donghai also passed away. Later, Taizong succeeded to the throne and named Queen He's nephew as the second generation.
The King of the East China Sea.
Therefore, this time when Pan Zhiyuan went to Shandong, Xie Shian wanted to explore the only remaining King of the East China Sea in the He family.
Judging from the age of the King of England, this woman should be the sister of the second generation King of Donghai. If there is such a person, and if we follow the traces, we may be able to break the wings of the King of England and avoid the annihilation of the Zhenguo Palace.
disaster.
It was only after the King of England ascended the throne that the news that the birth mother was the daughter of the He family was released, which always made Xie Shi'an a little suspicious. Taizu's queen was the daughter of the He family. Although the concubines no longer came from the He family, it was not something that had to be hidden.
The secret of life.
The matter of succession has nothing to do with the King of England. He is the youngest son of Emperor Taizong, and is about the same age as Prince Suzong. The eldest brother is the emperor, and he, a young prince, can be given the title of prince or prince.
Xie Shi'an thought that if the power of the British King to seize the throne was related to the He family, there must be some secrets about the only remaining King of the East China Sea.
Taizu married the daughter of the former King of Hejian as his wife. After the founding of the country, because of Queen He, he retained the line of King of Hejian and was granted the title of King of Donghai. It was just on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to sleep soundly? After that, the King of Hejian
Although his descendants are kings of the East China Sea, they are actually prisoners of Dachu, and they remain to show Taizu's kindness and kindness.
When the King of England ascended the throne and it was reported that the King of England's biological mother was the daughter of the He family, Xie Shi'an had already begun to wonder. Could it be that there was some influence from the He family behind the King of England? Otherwise, no one knew how to explain his influence.
He was actually able to seize the world from Suzong and his son.
When Taizong was on the throne, the second king of Donghai died of illness, and his young prince succeeded him as the third king of Donghai. However, the prince was also sick and died at the age of seven or eight.
Xie Shi'an felt that the biological mother must be related to the King of East China Sea. Therefore, during this trip, Xie Shi'an wanted to find out whether the He family had ever had a daughter who was married far away.
The same was true in the previous life. In the later years of Taizong, the line of King Donghai ended in the third generation. The prince succeeded to the throne as king when he was young and died at the age of seven or eight. The fourth generation after that, although their surname was He, was already the same as the He family of Daliang in the previous dynasty.
It can't be further away.
By the time of Xie Shi'an's generation, the affairs of the former Daliang Dynasty had long been wiped out and there was no trace.
In order to inherit the He family, Taizong selected a child from the He family who was the same age as the crown prince and became the current King of East China Sea. Now, the fourth King of East China Sea is already twelve years old.
The eldest uncle, Xie Nan, has also been stationed in northern Xinjiang since he was twelve years old. However, when he was away from home, his wife and children had to be stationed in the capital to reassure the emperor. Therefore, the children of the eldest brother and the second brother have all been raised in the capital since childhood.
big.
After Xie Feng died, Xie Shi'an's grandfather Xie Keding became the Duke of Zhenguo and stationed in northern Xinjiang all year round. He never set foot in the capital unless called upon by the emperor.
His father, Xie Song, was more foresighted. He found a way out of the court and took the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. He could attack and defend, and could advance and retreat at the right time. However, in the end, he could not escape the emperor's thunderous wrath. He was dismissed from his post and returned home in panic.
All day long, he died of worries.
Xie Shi'an had already escaped into Buddhism in his previous life, and he has no attachment to the secular world in this life. In his previous life, his grandfather Xie Keding and his entire army were wiped out, and his body was wrapped in horse leather. It is just a few words in the history books. If we look at it in conjunction with the history books of the previous dynasties,
After all, the Xie family is not worthy of a word of loyalty, so why bother guarding the country for the emperor.
With such a status, it is understandable that he covets the throne, but we don’t know when the King of England started planning. At the age of thirty, he was able to force Suzong into the palace and imprison the prince. How could such a power be cultivated from an early age?
It has grown to this extent.
This second King of East China Sea has insufficient intelligence and is a bit crazy. For the sake of the dignity of the East China Sea Palace, this second generation King of East China Sea rarely shows up and has been trapped in the palace. In terms of heirs, it is even more insufficient. Only the princess got one
Your Majesty, all the other concubines have nothing left.
Therefore, although Xie Shi'an had talent and learning in his previous life, he did not want to be sold to the emperor's family. He practiced martial arts and did not want to guard the country, and studied literature and did not want to create peace. In the end, he only hung out in a brothel, earning the nickname Hoshikosaburo.
I thought that being so confused for a lifetime might be able to save the lives of several members of the Xie family. Even if they lose the title of Duke of Zhenguo, their descendants will not have to continue to die in the battlefield. A life of peace and happiness is also a life.
Who would have known that Xie Qingchen, the second wife, also had a utilitarian heart and secretly sought refuge with the King of England. Xie Qingchen's sister, Xie Feixue, even missed her life when she saw the King of England. She was used by him and was finally charged with murder.
It affects everyone in the Xie family.
The last bit of strength that Xie Shi'an struggled to preserve was wiped out. In his previous life, he was passive in everything, just to get rid of the name of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace and avoid the favor of the royal family. In the end, he couldn't escape, and he was born as a member of the Xie family for one day.
In the end, I will still thank my family until I die.
