If Emperor Taizong had been ruthless and had the retired emperor killed, Dayong might have continued for many more years.
But Taizong did not want to be labeled as a son killer, so he just pretended that his eldest son did not exist.
But it forced out a powerful killer.
The emperor emeritus is undoubtedly a genius with extraordinary intelligence.
A six-year-old abandoned child of the royal family was thrown into the imperial mausoleum to fend for himself, but he won over the guards of the imperial mausoleum and became a disciple to study and practice martial arts.
He is no ordinary person and he can make all the guards of the imperial mausoleum work for him.
Then the retired emperor moved the burial objects of Taizu and used the gold, silver and treasures in the imperial mausoleum to start a rebellion.
It is said that geniuses are on the left and madmen are on the right, and the emperor emeritus is both a genius and a madman.
He ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five and reigned for thirty-five years.
These thirty-five years were a devastating blow to the aristocratic family.
Duke Wu was a rising star who had accompanied Taizu in conquering the world. Taizu wanted Taizong to marry Duke Wu's daughter as his queen in order to suppress the aristocratic families.
But Taizong liked girls from aristocratic families, so he deposed the queen and made another girl from aristocratic families his queen.
Even high-ranking concubines were from aristocratic families.
Even though Taizong realized in his later years that the aristocratic families were powerful in the court and controlled the court and the harem, and he promoted the new nobles and the common people, and even favored the palace maids, in an attempt to compete with the aristocratic families, it was already too late.
The former dynasty and the harem controlled by the aristocratic families would never allow these new nobles who had fought with Taizu to conquer the world to rise again.
Not to mention that these upstarts also married girls from aristocratic families.
There were very few children from poor families in the court, and those who dared to stand out were suppressed.
It was even more difficult for the concubines and palace maids from poor families in the harem to survive. Even with the protection of Emperor Taizong, they could not give birth to children.
The princess can still survive, but the prince will most likely die young.
The fight for the throne during Emperor Taizong's reign was a struggle between aristocratic families.
No matter how the aristocratic families fight with each other, as soon as the new rich and the common people emerge, the aristocratic families will definitely be suppressed.
This is the consensus among the aristocratic families.
They wanted to share the world with the emperor, and even be above the imperial power. They did not want the imperial power to become too dominant and threaten them.
Therefore, when the retired emperor entered the capital, he naturally could not tolerate these noble families who tried to dictate to him and wanted to share power with him.
When Taizu founded the country, he also suppressed the aristocratic families once. The aristocratic families no longer confronted Taizu head-on and reached a delicate balance with the imperial power.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the aristocratic families divided power and jointly controlled the world.
In the later period, it was useless for Taizong to support the policies that the aristocratic families opposed.
Therefore, the imperial power was suppressed by the aristocratic families.
When the retired emperor came to power, he killed many people and was criticized as a killer and a tyrant.
This is also true, the retired emperor did cause the demise of Dayong.
But there must be something pitiful about a hateful person.
Her biological mother was deposed and sentenced to death, and her sister was murdered. Her face was cut so many times that she died a miserable death. However, Taizong still spoke ill of her and nailed the deposed queen and the legitimate princess to the pillar of shame.
The retired emperor must have had a hard time when he was in the imperial mausoleum and the guards of the mausoleum had not yet been recaptured.
A six-year-old child was thrown into the imperial mausoleum with no one to serve him. He was still a bachelor at the age of thirty, and Emperor Taizong did not remember his son.
It took another five years to capture the capital.
After he became emperor, more than ten of his sons and daughters died young, leaving only one son.
The emperor will go crazy if he is not crazy.
The monk said that he had committed too many sins and was being punished for it, but the emperor endured it. As long as his son survived, the emperor would not go completely crazy.
But Emperor Kant died on his wedding night.
Bei Lingyao was curious about who was behind this.
Is it a debt of love?
Because she was betrayed by the retired emperor, she kept killing the retired emperor's children but kept the retired emperor alive?
With this ability, how could the emperor live to be seventy?
Many thoughts flashed through Bei Lingyao's mind, but she couldn't delve into them.
For now, let’s deal with the things at hand first.
Bei Lingyao's consciousness moved, and the palace maid who was about to leave with the wine tray bowed and her knees weakened. She rushed over and smashed the tray in her hand towards Bei Lingyao and Emperor Kant's wine glasses.
Snap!
Bei Lingyao protected Emperor Kangde, and two wine glasses fell to the ground.
Xi Po and others were frightened.
This is very unlucky for them.
Emperor Kangde was unhappy and said, "Drag him away..."
Bei Lingyao said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to see blood today. Spare her life and keep her in prison. We will interrogate her thoroughly three days after the wedding."
"As the Queen wishes."
The palace maids were all well-trained, but they did such a thing when he was about to drink the wedding wine with the queen. No matter if they were innocent or not, it was not allowed.
"There is a jar of daughter's red wine in my dowry, so use it."
Bei Lingyao asked someone to bring over the box containing needlework from her dowry.
This is the daughter's red wine brewed by Master Bei when the original owner was born, and it was buried under the osmanthus tree.
At that time, the Taifu still had the original owner's biological mother and the original owner in his heart.
The wine was buried for more than ten years and was forgotten.
Before the original owner got married, the Taifu remembered and had someone dig it out under the osmanthus tree. The expressions of Su and Bei Shuxian were extremely ugly.
One who thinks he is true love.
A daughter who thought she was the most favored daughter of the Bei family.
This is indeed the case. Master Bei’s true love now is Su, and his most beloved daughter is Bei Shuxian.
But once the daughter's red wine was dug out, Su and Concubine Bei also questioned Master Bei's feelings for more than ten years.
I started to doubt my life.
Bei Lingyao opened the box, asked someone to move out the wine jar, and took out a set of tea sets from the box.
He opened the jar himself and poured it one-third full of wine.
Emperor Kangde was not in good health, so Bei Lingyao did not pour him more wine.
The two drank the wedding wine smoothly, and another palace maid brought a pair of scissors. Bei Lingyao and Emperor Kangde each cut off a strand of hair, tied it with a red thread, and put it into a brocade bag to make a "Hebin".
"Auspicious sign of dragon and phoenix, may the Emperor and Empress soon bear a son and live together forever."
Grandma Xi brought another plate of dumplings from the dining table.
"Your Majesty, please feed the Empress some dumplings."
Kang Dedi took the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and fed it to Bei Lingyao's mouth.
Bei Lingyao had taken a bite when the matchmaker asked, "Will the Queen give birth?"
Bei Lingyao nodded, "Yes, yes."
Kang Dedi frowned and put the other half of the dumpling into his mouth, "Raw."
The dumplings were filled with peanuts and red dates, so they were not bad to eat. Emperor Kangde did not lose his temper immediately. Seeing that Bei Lingyao had eaten all the dumplings, he swallowed them too.
But he secretly took note in his heart that the imperial kitchen actually dared to serve them raw food.
Coupled with the recent wedding wine incident, Emperor Kangde felt that he was ill and the palace people no longer took him seriously.
He didn't want to cause trouble for his father, but he was bullied. People really thought that he, the new emperor, could be bullied by anyone.
"raw"
Bei Lingyao said one more sentence.
Bei Lingyao and Emperor Kangde's words made Xi Po smile from ear to ear. She could already imagine that the emperor would reward her handsomely.
After saying a lot of words about wealth, good fortune, peace, health, happiness, and many children, the matchmaker and the palace maids withdrew.
The difference is that all the palace people are guarding outside.
Bei Lingyao helped Emperor Kangde sit on the bed and propped up his back with a pillow. "I will serve your majesty at dinner."
