Glancing at His Highness' unconscious movements, Yang Guan felt a sweet sensation in his heart: "Emperor Taizu has issued an order that as long as the world remains under the rule of Donglin State, the descendants of the Cui family will always be officials of Donglin State.
The title was hereditary and passed down from generation to generation without replacement, and within three generations, all of Cui's sons served as prime ministers.
It was Emperor Taizu's favor that made the Cui family forget their roots."
I don’t know if it’s because he was lying down, but Yang Guan’s voice was no longer as sharp as before, but instead a little deep.
“There is no favor without reason.
Emperor Taizu doted on Cui Shi so much. What did Cui Shi do for Emperor Taizu in the past?
Well, Yang Guan's palms were bigger than her own, with distinct joints, slenderness, and calluses. They felt like a pair of hands that were often used for work.
“In reply to your Highness, when Emperor Taizu first started his rebellion from Ningxi Kingdom, Cui was the first to follow him.
Emperor Taizu's wife, Cui, was originally just a little embroiderer. After being married to Emperor Taizu, she has always followed him.
Then Emperor Taizu rebelled against the Ningxi Kingdom."
Ji Wan raised her eyebrows: "So it's because of love?
If that's the case, why didn't Cui support her own child as the crown prince? Instead, she chose Ji Yuanheng, a person from a different family, as the crown prince?"
“Your Highness, have you forgotten that before the Cui family became the Cui family we know today, Emperor Taizu’s wife was just an ordinary embroiderer, and her family was extremely poor.
Even if he could provide help to Emperor Taizu, how much could he do?
The late emperor, Ji Yuanheng, was able to marry the current Queen Mother Cui because of the imperial decree granted by Emperor Taizu.
Emperor Taizu's wife, Cui, had an older brother, and today's Cui Renjie and the empress dowager are her brother's children.
By the way, Your Highness, Ji Yuantang, your third uncle, is the biological child of Emperor Taizu and Cui.
Ji Wan frowned: "What is this! It's a mess! My child with Cui Shi can't ascend to the throne.
Are you going to let your own child and Cui's child ascend the throne?"
Yang Guan pursed his lips, so as not to laugh out loud when he heard Ji Wan's complaints: "It is indeed chaotic.
Now, your Highness's third uncle has heard that it was the Crown Prince who killed his father to ascend the throne, and he has ordered a general amnesty in Taiping County, commencing the death of all death row prisoners.
This person is the second one who dares to rebel besides His Highness.
I learned a lot on the way to Ningxi Kingdom."
Ji Wan couldn't help but clap and cheer: "Beat him! Beat him! It would be great if we could annoy the Empress Dowager and the current Emperor to death!"
Yang Guan: "..." This time Yang Guan finally couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Your Highness's childlike demeanor is so adorable!
