Today's accession to the throne can be said to be a picked-up throne. When several princes fought for the throne, the capital was in chaos. King An, who was originally favored by the late emperor, was fighting the rebellion near Beilang at that time.
By the time King An received the news of the late emperor's death and returned to the capital with his troops, he had already ascended the throne as emperor.
Even if King An knew there was a problem, if another dispute broke out, it would be the people who would suffer.
King An could only hand over the tiger talisman and take everyone in the palace to Shunan, the fiefdom that is currently canonized.
As Princess An, Shi Jiang's aunt naturally followed Prince An to southern Shu.
It has been more than ten years since I left, and I have long lost all contact with the capital and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, it is normal for Shi Jiang to have no impression of this aunt.
But even so, he is still wary now. He is deeply afraid that the Xuanping Houfu has military power. If he secretly colludes with Prince An, it will be a great threat to his throne.
After listening to everything Xuanpinghou said, Shi Jiang recalled what happened in the memory of the original owner, and fell silent for a long time.
The sudden defeat in the original memory has long been traced.
It seems that when Marquis Xuanping wanted to fight against the current situation, he was still a little inferior and ended up dead.
However, in that battle, it stands to reason that Marquis Xuanping would not be defeated so easily.
Even if he were defeated, the defeat would not be that disastrous. Except for Shi Ji, all the adult men of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion were buried with him.
Even Shiji's survival was nothing more than an accident.
Shi Jiang doesn't believe it at all if there is no present handwriting in it.
It was just to eradicate the Xuanping Hou Mansion. As the king of the Chen State, he lured foreign enemies into the country and massacred the people of several Chen State cities. It was really unworthy of his virtue.
However, why did Marquis Xuanping tell her this now?
"The Emperor is too jealous of our Marquis. As a father, I cannot guarantee that your brothers and sisters will be safe and sound even if the nest is overthrown. Therefore, next month I will ask you to take your eighth brother to your aunt. If you are a father,
No matter what happens, it will be natural
I'm very happy. If something happens, at least you and your eighth brother can pass on the incense of our Shi family. Your eighth brother is still in his infancy and can't tell whether he is good or bad. If he grows up to be mediocre, then let him
He just needs to be a rich man."
Marquis Xuanping said his decision in a deep voice, which surprised Shi Jiang.
After all, the eighth brother Xuanpinghou mentioned was the son of one of his concubines.
However, as soon as the concubine gave birth to the child, she bled heavily and died.
The child is only five months old now. In ancient times, children of this age would easily die.
Therefore, the inheritance of incense mentioned by Marquis Xuanping does not mean that it is passed down solely through sons.
After all, Shi Jiang is already so old, so as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to live well.
However, she knew her own affairs well. For Shi Jiang, she was not interested in love, love, or marriage between a man and a woman.
But Shi Jiang was not very willing to let her raise such a big child.
"Shiji...?"
Shi Jiang thought of his twin brother and couldn't help but look up at Marquis Xuanping.
"Although your brother is a direct descendant, it has been proven during this period that he is definitely not suitable for the position of son. As long as he has a little bit of talent that can be developed, I will find a way to preserve this drop of his blood. It is a pity that he has given up to his father.
Disappointed! But Lao Ba is different. From Lao Ba, there will only be you."
Marquis Xuanping thought that after Shi Jiang revealed that she and Shi Ji had exchanged identities, Shi Ji's every move was in his eyes.
This legitimate son has long been abandoned by his wife.
Now, since he wants to leave a way out for the Shi family, it will definitely not be Shi Ji.
Neither can the other concubines. They have already remembered the incident. If Shi Jiang is asked to take him to King An, they may have other ideas and will not follow Shi Jiang's arrangements.
And Marquis Xuanping definitely didn't want any accident to happen.
Therefore, the best way is to take the eighth child away and let the eldest daughter teach her from an early age that at least the relationship between two people will be extraordinary.
As for Shi Jiang, the eldest daughter, Xuan Pinghou had raised her since she was a child, so he naturally knew her temperament and character very well.
As long as she agrees, she will do a great job.
After hearing what Marquis Xuanping said, Shi Jiang couldn't help but feel something in his heart and looked deeply at Marquis Xuanping.
She would tell Marquis Xuan Ping about the mandarin duck formation in order to gain some autonomy for herself.
If it goes according to what Xuanpinghou said, after she takes Laoba out of Xuanpinghou's mansion, she can make her own decision about her future life.
If this is the case, the resistance to raising an infant baby will no longer be so reluctant.
As for Shi Ji, who is also a twin, Shi Jiang doesn't have much affection, after all, he is not his original self.
Moreover, she also felt that although what Xuan Pinghou said was a bit ruthless, it was true.
"When will you leave?"
After pondering for a moment, Shi Jiang asked.
When Marquis Xuanping heard his daughter's words, he breathed out quietly, and his originally solemn expression relaxed slightly.
"On the fifth day of next month, I will give you a group of people and a private treasury outside. When we get to Shunan, if there are no problems with your aunt, then you can stay in Shunan and treat Lao Ba
Bring her up well! If there is anything wrong with your aunt, you can also find a place to settle down anonymously."
Seeing that Marquis Xuanping had made arrangements, Shi Jiang nodded and returned to his yard.
Sure enough, at the end of the month, news came out from the house that Lao Ba was frightened and didn't make it through, so he died.
For such a young child to die in infancy, there was not much surprise in the family.
Except for the old lady who felt sad, everyone else continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Then, a few days later, it was reported that the eldest lady had hurt her head when she fell off her horse, and her body became increasingly weak.
The old lady also specially took a group of people to see Shi Jiang, and saw Shi Jiang lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face was pale, and his breathing seemed to be absent.
Even if the two concubines with long and round faces were jealous of Shi Jiang before, they couldn't help but sigh when they saw her like this.
So what if she is a legitimate daughter?
I don’t know if I will survive now, let alone whether I will marry into a good family in the future.
Mrs. Hou, on the other hand, is very hard-hearted.
She really hated Shi Jiang. Even if she knew that Shi Jiang was about to die now, she didn't want to see this unfilial daughter.
No matter how others tried to persuade her, she did not even step into Shijiang's courtyard.
As a twin, Shi Ji wanted to see this eldest sister. After all, Shi Jiang only did this to prevent disaster for him.
However, how could Mrs. Hou be willing to let her son meet Shi Jiang?
Seeing that his mother refused to agree, Shi Ji naturally forgot about the idea of visiting Shi Jiang.
Knowing the behavior of Mrs. Hou and Shi Ji, Marquis Xuanping came to see Shi Jiang in private and wanted to comfort his daughter, but he hesitated to speak.
Shi Jiang smiled at him and replied calmly.
"It's just that I don't have a mother-daughter bond with my mother. Sometimes people who are related by blood may not always be able to live in harmony."
