The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Cen Yuan, who calls himself "I", has a strong aura and the bearing of an emperor.

The Young Emperor of Xiliang! Emperor Heng, Cen Yuan!

A chill ran down Emperor Mingde's back.

He couldn't put his right foot down as he paced, so he stood with one foot and the other raised, staring blankly at the young Emperor Heng of Liang in front of him.

No wonder I always had the feeling that I was talking to the emperor, it turned out not to be an illusion.

That kind of upbringing engraved in the bones and the nobility in every gesture must be the result of habits developed from following the royal rules since childhood.

When they looked at each other, they never avoided each other's gaze. How could ordinary people be so brave?

Emperor Mingde remembered that the Western Shadow Guard had found out about this person earlier.

The charcoal seller, Chen Yuan, whose original name was Luo Jiu, also known as Luo Chen Yuan.

He is actually Luo Jiu, the son of Luo Hui, the third son of Luo family, a prominent family in Youzhou, and Xu Renran.

His mother Xu Renran passed away early, leaving behind only this son.

Luo Hui was so sad about the loss of his wife that he accidentally knocked over the candlestick, causing a fire. In the chaos, someone took Luo Jiu away.

Later, Luo Jiu secretly escaped, was chased by human traffickers, injured his head, and lost his earlier memories. Fortunately, he was rescued by Chen Jikang, a wealthy baron, who adopted him and named him Chen Yuan.

After many twists and turns, the Luo family found Chen Yuan and recognized him as Luo Chen Yuan. They also promoted him to be the young master of the Luo family and the new generation of heir.

The above should be the public information that Emperor Heng is willing for people to find out.

He deceived Longjiang and Emperor Mingde.

Everyone thought he was "Chen Yuan", but in fact he was "Cen Yuan".

Xiliang, also known as Xicenliang State. Cen is the surname of the state.

Cen Yuan was the short-lived young emperor of Liang State who was involved in the "Palace Wumen Incident" that shocked the world ten years ago. Considering that he is now over eighteen years old, he was only an eight-year-old child at that time.

It is said that the young emperor of Liang was burned to death in the Jinluan Palace, along with the empress dowager and her personal eunuchs.

Even though Emperor Mingde was smart, he still couldn't figure it out. He could only ask with a wild imagination, "Are you a resurrection or something?"

Cen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not dead. The one who died was Qin Mian, the fourth son of the current Liang Guoyong Emperor. I escaped."

Emperor Mingde knew there must be many twists and turns inside, but this was not the time to listen to gossip. "You hid it so well that the Western Shadow Guards could only find out the surface. Why did you tell me the truth?"

Cen Yuan said slowly, "I need the emperor's trust."

Emperor Mingde suddenly realized that someone must have suspected his identity. Once someone reported that Cen Yuan was from Liang, it would be hard not to think of him as a spy.

It was after Shi Anxia found out that Shi Anrou was reading information about the history and kings of various nations that Cen Yuan suddenly realized that Shi Anrou, like them, had been reborn.

Although Shi Anrou knew limited things, as long as she thought carefully about a few time points, she could infer the real reason why Xiliang suddenly withdrew its troops after General Wei Bei died on the battlefield in the previous life.

That's because he escaped and returned to restore his country and took back the State of Liang.

If Shi Anrou were to give this information to the Li family behind the empress dowager first, and then report to Emperor Mingde that he was a spy, he would bring enormous trouble to the Marquis' Mansion and Shi Anxia.

Therefore, Cen Yuan had to take the opportunity to ask the emperor for an arranged marriage to clear the obstacles, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Emperor Mingde couldn't remember how many times he had examined the other party.

Moreover, he couldn't tell which of the things the other party said were so-called dreams and which were so-called realities. "Does the little girl know this?"

Cen Yuan seemed to have been touched on a painful spot and gently closed her eyes. "She doesn't know. She seems to have lost all her previous memories of me."

Emperor Mingde: “…” What you mean is that the little girl doesn’t know that she is about to marry the deposed emperor of Liang?

Cen Yuan avoided Emperor Mingde's inquiring gaze and said, "I will tell her the truth after we get married."

Emperor Mingde said in a deep voice, "No, you must tell her before the wedding. If she knows the truth and is still willing to marry you, I can't do anything about it. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise I will tell my little girl that the emperor is concerned about her mother and has investigated her family's ancestors for 18 generations. I will ask her and her mother to be careful."

Emperor Mingde: “!!!” He took a breath of cold air!

This damn boy! Do you know that I am doing this for your own good?

Cen Yuan said sullenly, "Mind your own business and mind my business! Everyone is an 'I'!"

Emperor Mingde: “!!!” It’s really infuriating!

I just wanted to hit him! The way I would hit my son!

Forget it, forget it, forget it, he is not my own son, why should I worry about it? If I have this time, can't I think more about people's livelihood issues?

Mad! Mad!

But some things must be made clear, "I am only..."

"Oh, you're so familiar with me that you call me by my maiden name?" Cen Yuan raised an eyebrow, eyes full of teasing, "You're really the Emperor of Beiyi!"

Emperor Mingde wanted to use a ruler to punish him, but he gritted his teeth and said helplessly and seriously, "Don't joke about this. It's not good for the Tang family. I just made a slip of the tongue."

Cen Yuan gradually put away her smile and said seriously, "My mother-in-law is now divorced."

Emperor Mingde was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "What?"

Cen Yuan said calmly, "It's nothing. Although my mother-in-law is divorced, she is not suitable for you. You'd better not set your sights on her. You have enough people in your harem."

Emperor Mingde: “…” He instantly didn’t want to chat with this guy anymore.

The dusk deepened.

Emperor Mingde called Eunuch Qi to light the palace lanterns. The warm yellow candlesticks lit up, casting shadows on the wall.

Emperor Mingde got back to business and asked, "The Luo family of Youzhou has been our Beiyi people for generations. Why did they become yours?"

Speaking of this, Cen Yuan was silent for a long time.

Emperor Mingde did not urge him, but just sat opposite him and poured him a cup of hot tea.

After an unknown amount of time, Cen Yuan finally spoke, "Your Majesty, do you know that the founding emperor of the Northern Wing, Emperor Long, has a good brother who fought alongside him, named Cen Liang."

Emperor Mingde frowned slightly, "The founding emperor of Liang, Emperor Yun?"

"That's right." Cen Yuan said, "When the two of them fought together for the country, they met at the Huaixing River. Both sides had at least 100,000 troops. Who would be the emperor became a problem. In addition to being themselves, they were also the masters of their subordinates. It was inappropriate for one to submit to the other. So, with the Huaixing River as the boundary, one in the north and the other in the west, they became Beiyi and Xiliang."

According to historical records, the monarchs of Beiyi and Xiliang were good friends, both of whom were brave and skilled in military operations. After they established their countries, they signed a covenant of friendship for generations.

In this way, the border between the two countries became one country, the two countries exchanged what they had and intermarriage became a common practice.

But later on, after several generations, gradually, the two sides began to weigh their options.

Emperor Hong of Beiyi had a bad temper. He lost face of the Western Liang delegation in front of other countries and offended the Western Liang Kingdom.

The Xiliang delegation was not innocent either; they had deliberately angered Emperor Hong.

As a result, the two sides were on the verge of a war, and Emperor Jing of Western Liang had an excuse to start a war.

It was not for any other reason, but because Emperor Jing accidentally obtained a map of a gold vein.
