Zhan Beihan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You mean the famous case of the monarchy of the imperial concubine?"

This major case happened ten years ago.

At that time, Zhan Beihan was still a teenager and was still in the military camp. He had no complete grasp of the affairs of the Northern Qin Dynasty and knew even less about other countries.

However, Zhan Beihan knew about the major case of Yingchuan Hou Mansion.

Because it's so famous.

After that major case, the pattern of the court in Nanyan changed a lot. The prince Murong Ye walked onto the court stage for the first time, opening his ten-year path to seeking power.

"At that time, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion was famous in Nanyan. It was a founding military general family as famous as the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It held the most powerful power and was in the limelight."

Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "The eldest daughter of the previous old marquis was also in the palace and was deeply favored by Emperor Nanyan. She gave birth to a prince in just one year and was promoted to the throne of concubine. Her first child was the second prince of Nanyan, and was also the son of Emperor Nanyan at that time."

The eldest son of Emperor Nanyan was born by the Empress. Although his status is precious, his talent and ability are mediocre. He is also very fond of merit and is favored by the Empress.

It is said that Emperor Nanyan originally wanted to make his eldest son the crown prince, but who knew that the first job the eldest prince had made mistakes when he entered the court, which caused constant criticism from all over the court. Later, several consecutive jobs had problems of big and small.

The court officials were dissatisfied with this and secretly dissatisfied with the matter of the eldest prince's appointment as a crown prince, and were full of twists and turns.

Emperor Nanyan realized that his eldest son was not capable enough and could not make all officials surrender. At this time, when the second prince was born, Emperor Nanyan naturally turned his attention to him.

The second prince's mother's mother was born in the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, and her mother's clan's power was far greater than that of the legitimate queen at that time. The second prince had such a mother and mother's clan as a backer. In addition, she carefully trained her, and showed her extraordinary talent since childhood, and she was several streets ahead of the eldest prince in every aspect.

But the only thing he can't compare to the eldest prince is the concubine's status as a concubine.

Nanyan is an old country, and the rules of the superiority of legitimate and illegitimate are very heavy. The neutral throne and illegitimate throne are not mainly based on ability, but are arranged in the order of legitimate and illegitimate and illegitimate.

No matter how unsatisfied the eldest prince was, because of his eldest son, there were still many conservative old ministers in the Southern Yan Dynasty supporting him.

So, the struggle for the throne between the two princes began.

The eldest prince has the advantage of identity and seniority, and behind it is the queen and a group of old ministers; while the second prince has the power of the mother clan as a backer, his personal ability is stronger than the eldest prince. In addition, the Emperor of Nanyan was intentionally or unintentionally biased, and the brothers were almost evenly matched in the fight, and no one could defeat each other.

Of course, the Nanyan Emperor's checks and balances were indispensable. He deliberately balanced the power between his two sons and delayed the time of becoming a crown prince, which resulted in Nanyan not having a crown prince for more than 20 years.

Even in the battle between the eldest prince and the second prince, other princes in the Nanyan harem were born one after another.

The gradual growth of the third prince, the fourth prince, including Murong Ye at that time, many little princes also made the situation in the Southern Yan Dynasty even more chaotic.

A few years later, two major events happened in Nanyan in the same year.

First, the queen died of illness, the Nanyan harem had no master, and the eldest prince completely lost his greatest backer.
