Many people in the capital know that it is a bit complicated for the emperor to sit on the dragon throne today.

However, only a small number of people know the truth.

These few people are not ordinary people, they are all old ministers in the court.

Before, Xue Wenyu was wrongly accused of colluding with the deceased King Ning, and the intention to make trouble was the uncle of the current emperor Zhou Zhian.

Zhou Zhian's father Zhou Ming was a kind-hearted wise king. He had been in power for decades and had always had something in his heart that could not be relieved.

That is, when the father planned to make the third prince Zhou Pingyi the crown prince, Zhou Ming's ears became soft. After listening to his grandfather's persuasion, he did something evil and framed the third prince Zhou Yi, so that he became the crown prince as he wished.

Later, Zhou Ming discovered that the third emperor knew the whole story, but he did not have any dissatisfaction or resentment towards him. Instead, he secretly helped him everywhere to solve some major matters that the ministers were helpless.

Then, the women around the third prince had nowhere to go except for the official concubine who gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Zhou Ming ordered people to check if it was the method of the Third Emperor's sister-in-law. However, the fact was that the Third Emperor asked the women around him to take Juezi Soup. The soup was very poisonous. After drinking it, the woman would be infertile for life and there was no antidote.

Only then did Zhou Ming realize that the purpose of the Third Emperor's doing this was to make himself a dragon throne with peace of mind.

This incident made Zhou Ming blame himself and regret the decision he made back then.

So, at a Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, Zhou Ming said something to the third emperor's brother Zhou Yi when he was drunk, that he would make Zhou Yi's son Zhou Yian the crown prince in the future.

Zhou Yi didn't take this drunken word seriously, but someone took it seriously, that is Zhou Zhian, who was the current emperor at that time, at that time.

Because the ministers in the court and everyone around him felt that he was the only choice for the prince.

After the banquet, I returned to my bedroom. Not long after, my mother and grandfather came to find him.

He was in a mess that night. Although he was not old, he knew what he wanted most.

Moreover, my grandfather also said that if you are careless, you would rather believe that you are not trusting you than not. Moreover, if you are not, you cannot let this happen, who can guarantee that the son of King Ning will not attack him in the future?

Zhou Zhiping immediately made up his mind and decided to defend what originally belonged to him at all costs.

So one summer after the next year, King Ning took his princesses out of Beijing to escape the summer heat. On the night of the third day of the summer vacation, something happened in the villa.

From the Ning King to the gatekeeper inside and outside the villa, 232 people were killed and survived. A maid next to Princess Ning and a horse feeder in the villa. The two were also seriously injured. Several imperial doctors still failed to save the two.

The two of them reported that they were attacked in the middle of the night that night, and all the masked men in black armor came. They didn't say anything, just killing and killing.

The former emperor Zhou Ming was furious and ordered the three officials to investigate quickly.

Then the results were only one. The black armor on the masked man was said to be the standard equipment of the Western Xiang Kingdom Imperial Guard.

But some people expressed their doubts that although Xixiang has been causing chaos on the border for many years, it has never penetrated deep into the country? Once again, just to vent their anger in order to kill the Ning Wang family?

In fact, some people suspected that it was the work of Prince Zhou Zhiping. After all, there were many ministers present at the palace banquet that day. Many people heard the drunken words of Emperor Zhou Ming.

However, this kind of suspicion cannot be expressed at all, and it is somewhat untenable.

Because Ning Wang's family went to escape the summer heat, Zhou Zhiping's mother, Concubine Xuan and eldest son Zhou Minhuan also followed him and was also killed in the villa.

As the saying goes, a tiger does not eat its son if it is poisonous. No matter how cruel Zhou Zhiping is, he will not even give up his biological mother and son.

The Villa's bloody case has not made any progress, and it is still a mystery. The blame is temporarily on Xixiang, but there is no reaction from others.

Didn't admit it, nor did you deny it!

The former emperor Zhou Ming, because of his beloved imperial concubine and grandson, died tragically because of his elder brother's family, and he fell ill all day long. Half a year later, he issued an order to make Zhou Zhiping the crown prince. He died the following year. In the same year, the crown prince Zhou Zhiping ascended the throne and ascended the throne, and his country was named An.

Xue Wenyu won three yuan at the age of thirteen. Although he was the youngest new top scholar in Yanguo, he officially entered the court at the age of 16. It has been nine years since this year.

Although when King Ning had an accident, Xue Wenyu had not yet entered the court as an official, he was still very impressed by that incident at the age of fifteen. Although he had only seen King Ning several times, he felt that King Ning was approachable.

Especially when Yan's state-owned areas encountered natural disasters, King Ning did not donate silver and porridge like other royal relatives and ministers, but instead sold the property in a low-key manner and handed over the silver to the local temples that were affected to help the victims.

Xue Wenyu regarded King Ning as a role model and admired him very much, so he swore in his heart that one day he would definitely find out the tragedy that year and give justice to King Ning's family.

He is indeed investigating, although he is still uncertain about the tragedy behind the tragedy, but there is still a general direction.

In recent years, as the results of the investigation get closer and closer to the truth, Xue Wenyu has become more and more contradictory. He doesn't know what if it is really like that, what else can he do?

Even now, on the way to Youcheng, he had already learned that the child was well, and he had not calmed down and was still irritable.

In less than three years after leaving the capital, the capital was already in turmoil! Some things cannot be covered up for a long time! Looking at the road ahead, he sighed on the horse's back.

The Xixiang incident has temporarily subsided, but the place where the road to return home is likely to be his other battlefield.

He was born and raised in that place, but there is no home there that belongs to him now.

When he felt extremely desolate, Xue Wenyu didn't know why, a figure appeared.

The woman who obviously has a powerful family but still cannot rely on.

She lost her parents at a young age and grew up eating a hundred families of food. She was taken back to the house by her uncle, who was the prefect, because she had useful value.

She knew that she could not see any sadness and could still seek greater benefits for herself in that situation.

In order to get greater benefits and live a better life in the future, she was willing to be a "widow".

Even after entering the Xue family, she didn't panic when she knew that he, the groom, was still alive.

She was placed in that remote courtyard and was confined. She did not cry and she knelt down on her knees and begged for someone.

Jiantian cooks vegetables with water, and she is so content.

What about me? Although I am not in a good situation, I have much more than her. So, why am I sad about here? Can't even compare to her, a little girl?

If she knew that she was like this, she would definitely be ridiculed and looked down upon her?

Thinking of this, Xue Wenyu ordered to stop moving forward and rest on the spot...
