Chapter 258: The Fate of Zhao Wenjun
The collapse of the Xicheng Gate that night caused a small shock in the capital. Seeing such a thing happening when the thrones alternated, rumors spread the next morning. Some said that the official army of Zhao Defang, who was pro-Zhao Defang, killed him from the battlefield at the junction of Song and Liao, was preparing to overthrow the current emperor and support Zhao Defang ascend the throne.
There are also people who said that it was civil strife in the capital, and several princes led their troops out of the capital and were preparing to return to the vassal state to rebel. The most evil thing is that the soul of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin appeared. Seeing that the throne was not passed to his descendants, they killed them from the underworld with the ghost soldiers.
Seeing that the rumors of Zhao Defang fighting for the throne had just been calmed, more rumors were now spreading in the capital, which gave the emperor who was preparing for the funeral of the late emperor. Fortunately, such rumors without roots soon dispersed. On the day of the funeral of the late emperor, the common people saw Zhao Defang and other princes leaving the city with the coffin. The rumors of the prince's rebellion disappeared.
After Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was in funeral, the emperor did not make things difficult for his brothers. Except for Zhao Defang and Zhao Yuanhao, a few princes with stings, they would stay in the capital to accompany the king, the rest of the vassal kings would arrive at the fiefdom.
Originally, Zhao Yuanhao was looking for an opportunity to complain to the emperor that he was still young and did not need to adopt a child. However, the emperor was always avoiding him. Even when the late emperor was in funeral, he sent someone to isolate him. When the funeral was over, the other princes returned to their fiefdoms, and only Zhao Yuanhao was left under the eyes of the emperor in the capital.
Just the day after the state funeral, Wang Qi's second son Zhao Yuan was sent to Zhao Yuanhao. Under the presidency of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Yuanhao suppressed his anger and completed the adoption ceremony. Seeing his nephew Fairy calling him father, Zhao Yuanhao felt so uncomfortable that he could not say.
Fortunately, although the emperor left Zhao Yuanhao in the capital, he did not forbid his princess and daughter from coming to the family to reunite. Early the next morning when Zhao Yuan was in his palace, the princess brought the young Zhao Wenjun to the capital. Maybe she felt that she was a little owed to this younger brother. On the night when Zhao Wenjun entered the capital, an imperial edict came out of the palace and conferred Zhao Wenjun as Princess Anshou.
Originally, according to the rules, Zhao Wenjun could only get the title of Princess Zhao. Now the emperor directly gave the title of Princess, which can be regarded as giving Zhao Yuanhao a chance to go down. Seeing that no matter how much he argued, it was useless. Adding his own precious daughter and adding the title of Princess Zhao Yuanhao had to accept his fate.
But I felt that the title of a princess was still a little too thin. Three days later, the second imperial edict came down and told Princess Anshou that she was in her infancy, Zhao Wenjun, betrothed to Shi Jun, the grandson of the founding king of Zhongyi, Shi Jie. At the same time, she was conferred the prince of Shi Junwei, and the prince of Zhongyi, and she could get married when Princess Anshou was fourteen years old.
The princess was enthroned and the prince-in-law was also the prince of the Zhongyi Prince, which was also another kind of grace. After hearing this news, Zhao Yuanhao's anger disappeared most.
Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, was calm and peaceful. Since Tong Qizhen left with the Demon King, it has been one of the rare peace and quiet here for more than half a year. Later, Cheng Yaojin, who was still an underworld, came to the capital to visit them, and said that the Demon King had returned to the Demon Mountain. He continued to rectify the demon soldiers and generals in Sifang Town to confront the underworld, while Tong Qizhen continued to disappear. When he said that the Demon King had rescued him, there was no news about him.
In addition to this, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui received the decree of the great master Xu Fu. He finally said that Tong Qizhen's name fell on the killing order and occupied the top spot. Now that the alchemists have returned to the land, most of the reason is to take down his head.
Originally, Gui Bugui planned to move to Jinling after the matter was settled. He could also stay near by Niu'er and take care of him if he had anything to do. Now that Niu'er has arrived in the capital, they don't plan to leave. Stay here and watch the child grow up slowly, and give himself an excuse to rest for a few years.
But now it is somewhat embarrassing that Zhao Wenjun in this life has already betrothed, which has caused the agreement between Li Wenjun and Wu Mian in the previous life to be ruined. However, the white-haired man had a very sore face, and even Gui Bugui didn't dare to mention this matter. Now this has become a tacit secret that cannot be told...
In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen spring, summer, autumn and winter passed, and Princess Anshou Zhao Wenjun finally grew up to fourteen years old. Zhao Yuanhao, who originally thought that he was still young and could have a few more children while Nianqiang, did not have a child except Zhao Wenjun. He also thought that he worked hard and could snatch the title of prince Zhao Yuanhao, who had given up his son, completely gave up. He even regarded his daughter as a pearl in his hand.
Because the Lord Anshou finally reached the age of marriage, at the beginning of the year, King Zhongyi personally went to the mansion to discuss the wedding of Shi Jun and Zhao Wenjun with Zhao Yuanhao. Although he was reluctant, this was also the best destination for his daughter. It was originally planned that on August 16th, the Prince Zhongyi's Mansion would come to marry Princess Anshou.
Unexpectedly, after Qingming Festival, Shi Jun, the prince of the Zhongyi king who was urging, accidentally fell off the horse when he went out to hunt. He hit the stone and fell into a coma on the spot. Although he immediately carried it back for treatment, Shi Jun still did not carry it over and died in his mansion.
Seeing Shi Jun and Princess Anshou getting married, such a thing happened. Bai Wuqiu still doubted whether Wu Mian did it. After all, he and Niu'er had an agreement in his previous life. Who knows if the white-haired man looked at Niu'er's husband in this life and secretly sent him away.
However, even Erlangzi didn't dare to ask Wu Mian. At the moment, he could only wait to see the development of the situation and see how Zhao Wenjun would be able to raise the cause and condition in this life.
Unexpectedly, King Zhongyi endured the pain of losing his son and went to the palace to see the emperor, asking King Zhao Wenjun, the daughter of King Zhao, to remarry his six sons Shi Duo. After all, being able to marry a princess is the ancestor of their Shi family. How could he miss such a good person?
The emperor also gave King Zhongyi a face and betrothed Zhao Wenjun to King Zhongyi's sixth son Shi Duo. By the way, the position of Prince Zhongyi was also given to Shi Duo because there was still a funeral in the King Zhongyi's mansion. It was decided that the Prince Zhongyi would come again to win Miss Zhao Wenjun at the beginning of the second year.
Unexpectedly, at the end of that year, Shi Duo, the second prince of King Zhongyi, actually fell seriously ill and died without enduring half a month. However, King Zhongyi still did not give up and asked the emperor for an order to tell him that Princess Anshou betrothed with the fourth son of King Zhongyi, Shi Meng.
This time, the emperor vaguely felt that the cause of death of the two princes was unusual, so he immediately suppressed the request of King Zhongyi. Although there was no decree that Zhao Wenjun must give to King Zhongyi's four sons, the King Zhongyi's mansion still did not escape this misfortune. A fire burned the King Zhongyi's mansion and directly burned the fourth son of King Zhongyi's king Shi Meng to death.
At this moment, An Shou and Zhao Wenjun were in the capital. He was too tough and had already killed himself. He had not had time to give birth to his brothers and sisters, and now he went to the Zhongyi Palace again. King Zhongyi was so scared that he never mentioned the marriage proposal again... But after a long time, Zhao Yuanhao couldn't wait. He began to arrange the matter of finding his husband's family for his precious daughter.
But at this time, everyone in the capital knew about Princess Anshou, and no one dared to respond to the marriage.
Just when Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were quiet for a few days, the old guy found that Li Guangquan was too close to his disciple Dong Qichao. Gui Bugui knew that Dong Qichao was planning to find out what was wrong from Li Guangquan at this time, and wanted to find another way to immortality.
At first, Gui Bu Bu Bu Bu Bu didn't care. They really discussed how to let Dong Qichao find the second way to make him immortal. However, not long after, Gui Bugui heard that someone was secretly digging corpses in the cemetery. In just half a year, hundreds of corpses were lost without a trace.
When the old guy heard this, he asked Gao Rubai to call both of them over. Gui Bugui wanted to ask Dong Qichao himself what he wanted.
