rebirth [rebirth]

It is probably because the founding emperor Gaozu and Empress Duanyou were deeply affectionate, and after more than ten years of fighting to establish Dachu, he still had a strong relationship after he took the high position. Therefore, although he presided over the revision of the Changxin palace system, he himself did not use it.

He did not accept the harem widely, and he only had one wife, the empress, throughout his life.

It is precisely because of this that the Rong family is very particular about congeniality. Although there are few emperors in the descendants who abolish the six palaces and only favor the queen, they are not lewd.

It is said to be rare, but it is not impossible.

Rong Jingxuan's grandfather, Emperor Zhaoqing, was the second dedicated emperor.

He came to the throne when he was young, and on the same day he established the princess of the Yuan Dynasty as the queen, abolished the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard, and lived with the queen as an ordinary couple.

Emperor Zhaoqing was widely praised, not only because of his friendship and love for his wife, but also because of his benevolent government, which brought new prosperity to Da Chu.

His posthumous title is the highest affirmation of the people and officials for his diligence and love for the people.

You can speak Chinese only if you have the knowledge of heaven and earth, profound morality, and are diligent in learning and asking questions.

Throughout the 260 years of Dachu, he was the only Emperor Wen.

However, this talented and generous Emperor Wen has one biggest regret.

His queen was weak, and after giving birth to the eldest son, she was lingering on the sick bed, and when the eldest son was three years old, she let go of others and left him one step ahead.

But their only son, Rong Lixian, who was established as the prince when he was a baby, was not a good candidate to be emperor.

He is cowardly and incompetent, he is not good at civil and military affairs, he hesitates no matter what he does, and he is unbearable.

Emperor Wen knew this very well, but he and the empress only had one son, who loved the house and Wu. He loved his first wife, and of course he loved their children.

In order to prevent Da Chu from declining in the hands of his son, Emperor Wen appointed two princes and Taifus when he was seriously ill-the grandfather of Zheng Zhenli of the Hanlin Academy and Xie Mingze's grandfather, and then Minister of Rites Xie Zhizhang.Four more Gu Ming ministers were established, Wu Pinghou, An Guohou, Changle Bo and Prime Minister Wei Shuyan at that time.

In the end, he gave his son what he thought was the best princess.

That is Rong Jingxuan's mother, Empress Wen Jia, Feng Chanjuan.

Concubine Feng was born in the Feng family of the brave army. Since she was a child, she has been proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she herself grew up in a military camp.

Another one, Princess Feng is extremely beautiful at a young age, and she is a well-known young lady in Fengcheng.

Emperor Wen felt that his arrangement was very good, very good, so he ordered his son to die.

When Emperor Wen died, Emperor Min was only six years old.

In the beginning, he did act in accordance with his father's will. Political affairs were decided by ministers of Gu Ming, and he didn't have a harem, so things in the palace were much simpler. day.

It was not until the age of 15 that Emperor Min and Queen Wen Jia finally got married.

At that time, Emperor Min was not a good emperor, but he was not licentious.

Empress Wen Jia married into the palace only to find that most of the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard were empty, only the Yanxi Palace closest to the Qianyuan Palace lived in a few nobles, and he seldom went there.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Tianhuang Guihua didn't even have a child.

And Emperor Min seemed to be the same as his father. After marrying Empress Wen Jia, those promises of his former nobles seemed to lose their color, and later he only went to the main palace of Empress Wen Jia.

But the number of times he went was really rare. He only went there to sit for a while on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Most of the time, he never stayed overnight.

Empress Wen Jia soon discovered his anomaly. After securing her position in the middle palace, she began to investigate, only to discover that Emperor Min seemed to have many secrets.

He doesn't have anything to do in Qianyuan Hall every day, but he never leaves there. The palace is so big, and he only studies and does homework in his own hall. After finishing, he goes to bed early, without any hobbies.

Empress Wen Jia is a very calm person. Since he doesn't like to come to the harem, she doesn't force her. As long as he doesn't harm her, she doesn't care about him.

The husband and wife respected each other as guests for four or five years, but Emperor Min still had no heirs.

The emperor and his wife were not in a hurry, but the minister was anxious to death. Every day, the emperor's empress affairs were compromised, and the emperor's heir was the most important thing, so as not to cut off the blood of Da Chu Rong.

Empress Wen Jia was infamous for nothing, and Emperor Min felt that the minister was very annoying, so the husband and wife both thought of those nobles in Yanxi Palace at the same time.

So Empress Wen Jia made the decision, forcing Emperor Min to recruit a servant from Yanxi Palace within five days.

Finally, when Emperor Yongyan was 20 years old, a nobleman became pregnant.

God bless you!

Thus, intermittently, Emperor Min had two princesses and an eldest son who died at the age of one. She struggled to give birth to a child, and died before she could see it.

It was not until the 18th year of Yongyan, when Emperor Min was 25 years old, that Empress Wen Jia finally became pregnant. Once she gave birth, she gave birth to her eldest son Rong Jingxuan.

It is said that he is the eldest son, but Rong Jingxuan also had an older brother who died at the age of one, so Rong Jingxuan was the second child. In the years when the crown prince was not established, Rong Jingxuan was called the second highness.

When he was five years old, Rong Jingxuan was established as the prince, and the palace people renamed him His Highness the Prince.

The days went on like this, and when Rong Jingxuan was six years old, Emperor Yongyan went on a tour in micro-clothes and brought back a young man from outside the palace.

The man claimed to be a Taoist who governed by heaven, and said that he could understand the Taoism and assist the government.

Rong Jingxuan only remembered that from that day on, he had other younger brothers and sisters.

One after another in the palace, humble concubines gave birth to children, and then one after another, each of them died young.

At the age of eight, Empress Wen Jia had her second child.

In the entire palace, apart from him and his two elder sisters who were over ten years old, there were no other children.

Rong Jingxuan is looking forward to the birth of a younger brother or younger sister from the same mother.

But Empress Wen Jia didn't seem to be looking forward to it very much. Her body became weaker day by day, and she began to spend more time teaching Rong Jingxuan, her only grown-up prince.

She took the trouble to teach her son the stories of Da Chu's founding of the country in his early years, the benevolent allusions of the benevolent monarchs of the past dynasties, and even the life of his grandfather Wendi.

She told Rong Jingxuan about the former state treasury.

And he also told him: "Your grandfather didn't tell your father about this matter. He told the queen mother directly. He told me at that time that if my son is smart and stable in the future and can inherit the great line, then he will take this matter." Tell him about it."

"So, you must not tell anyone."

Therefore, Rong Jingxuan really didn't tell anyone, and he didn't tell Xie Mingze until Da Chu destroyed the country.

At that time, the queen mother told him: "The treasury of the previous dynasty is in Fengcheng, and there must be a national treasure a hundred miles north of the garrison of the brave army, on a distant mountain."

Rong Jingxuan came to Fengcheng first this time because he had the idea of ​​the former treasury.

But this treasury is not so easy to find.

Now there are only more than [-] people in the Yongwu camp. Although they are loyal to Feng Borui wholeheartedly, being loyal to the Feng family and being loyal to him are two different things.Repeating Da Chu's glory is not something that can be done overnight, Rong Jingxuan was so depressed that he was not in a hurry.

Chen Shengzhi is not expected to be an emperor, he was able to enter Changxin in these two lifetimes because he took advantage of the right time, place and people.

But it is difficult to win the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world.

He has been a farmer all his life, but his thinking is not broad. At that time, he was able to use the resentment of the people to instigate an uprising, thanks to the advisers and several capable generals around him.

Now that he has become the emperor, how many of those people who fought hard with him back then were conferred high positions?

Without those people, Da Chu's old minister would not obey him from the bottom of his heart, so what is the difference between him and Emperor Min?

Oh, there is still a difference. Emperor Yongyan is justified in the end, but he is seeking to usurp the throne, and he is an emperor who was born in rebellion.

The founding emperor was also born on horseback. After the founding of the country, Emperor Da Chu Gaozu made a lot of meritorious officials, and each conferred a high position with the surname of the country.Although these national lords have no real power in their hands and their titles have been reduced several times over the past century, they have shared prosperity with Da Chu for a hundred years after all.

Only by sharing joys and sorrows can people follow desperately.

While reminiscing about the past, Rong Jingxuan opened the golden peach blossom paper in his hand. He and Xie Mingze were the only two people in the barracks. Rong Jingxuan was afraid that his mother had written something confidential, so naturally he refused to let others watch it together.

This letter is longer than the previous two.

It was probably because this letter was written to him in his twenties, so Empress Wen Jia's brushstrokes were a bit sharp and no longer tender.

At the beginning, she bluntly said that Rong Jingxuan's personality is too soft and he is easy to hesitate. If his father is still in power, he must choose a decisive personality. In case of emergency, you must discuss with Gu Xuezheng and Mr. Xie before making a plan.

Writing here, Empress Wen Jia specially wrote Xie Mingze, saying that he and Rong Jingxuan grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they had a very close relationship. She hoped that there would be no estrangement between the two of them, and she did not want her son to be a loner.

Afterwards, she seriously cared about her youngest son, the two princesses, Feng Bairui, and Feng Yichi.

At the last moment, she left a message: "Heaven ruled a great evil, Wang'er dealt with it early, so as not to cause disaster."

Below, is her graceful font.

Seeing this, Rong Jingxuan couldn't help recalling his mother's voice and smile.

"The queen mother is really a strange woman."

Rong Jingxuan said, and handed the letter to Xie Mingze.

Xie Mingze took it over and looked at it carefully.

He didn't expect that Empress Wen Jia saw the following things so accurately and thoroughly, she almost guessed every move of Emperor Min, and also saw through what kind of person Tianzhi Taoist was.

Moreover, she also mentioned several times that Rong Jingxuan should get along well with Xie Mingze and be good brothers.

Xie Mingze watched, his eyes wet, but Rong Jingxuan was calmer, and he said with a smile: "If the mother is still here, Da Chu will not die."

Xie Mingze nodded, suddenly, his gaze quickly slid across the letter paper, and he suddenly looked up at Rong Jingxuan.

Rong Jingxuan was very surprised, stood up and walked to his side: "What?"

Xie Mingze pointed at the first word of each line on the letter paper with trembling fingers.

Read it horizontally from right to left, and it happens to be eight characters: In case of great chaos, go north to Fengcheng.

Rong Jingxuan couldn't help being shocked at the moment.

When he read it just now, he only felt that the sentence breaks were in strange places, and he thought that his mother was seriously ill and could not write smoothly.He really didn't expect that under such circumstances, the queen mother left him a code word.

Fengcheng, Fengcheng.

It means the city of abundant grains.

There is the camp of the brave army, the official road closest to Lishui River, and the distant mountain that is not towering.

The legendary treasury of the former dynasty is hidden in this distant mountain.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze looked into the distance together, only thinking about one thing: Is there really hope there?

They don't know, and they can only wait for the Yongwu camp to settle down before making any plans.

Xie Mingze said: "The Yongwu camp was established in the first year of Gaozu, and the generals in charge were all brave warriors. It has been passed down from generation to generation by the Jiang family. In the early years of Yongyan, when the Jiang family died out, it was changed to Feng's successor."

His voice was very soft, very weak, but Rong Jingxuan heard it, but felt that the fog in front of him had completely cleared away.

He couldn't help but said: "Wufenghou has existed since ancient times, but it is really strange that Yongwuhou not only commanded tens of thousands of soldiers in the Yongwu camp, but also guarded the imperial capital, and was succeeded by Jiang's descendants."

When Rong Jingxuan said this, something suddenly flashed through his mind.

"I remember...Empress Duanyou...but her surname is Jiang."

Xie Mingze's eyes lit up, and the two looked at each other, both having guesses in their hearts.

During Emperor Min's time, the Jiang family had no descendants...not because the Jiang family had no descendants, but because...Min Emperor himself had no brothers.

Such an important position is guarded by Da Chu's most important secret. The brave Marquis of each generation must be the brothers of the current emperor.

However, Emperor Wen did not mention such an important matter to Emperor Min, and it was inconvenient to say it directly to his daughter-in-law. Therefore, the inheritance of the Jiang family really ended in Emperor Min's generation.

"Let's ask third uncle?" Xie Mingze asked.

If there is anyone else who knows the story best, the Feng family who has been assisting the Jiang family as the deputy general is probably the best.

Rong Jingxuan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Tomorrow, when the eldest sister and brother-in-law come back, we will discuss it together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Qi's special voice sounded outside the door: "My lord, there is a visitor. Lord Hou invites the two of you to come over."
