Chapter 560 Jiang Yue Extra (8)
On this day, Jiujiu and Dijiang were lying on the bed. Dijiang looked at the bed curtains above his head helplessly and said, "If this continues, Ge'er and Ying'er will be spoiled sooner or later. How can they take on important responsibilities in the future?"
When Di Jiang appointed Di Ge as the crown prince, he was mentally prepared to abdicate.
Both he and Jiujiu are immortal, neither old nor dead. If people find out that they won't age, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble.
He can only abdicate at the right time and pass on power to future generations.
Who knows, who knows...
Why--
"I can understand that my father loves the child I gave birth to, and I can also understand that grandpa loves your child, Dijiang. But, I can't understand why they spoil their children like this." Jiujiu said.
"They are also in a high position and understand the cruelty of power struggles. How can they spoil their children like this?"
"Am I really old? Confused?"
Jiujiu couldn't figure out this problem and worried every day about whether her child would be spoiled.
"It's not that they are senile, it's just that they didn't receive much love from their elders when they were young, so now they want to give everything they once desired the most to their beloved younger generations." Di Jiang understood the two of them, because he had the same thoughts. What he desired but couldn't get, he must give to his own children.
But he is also worried!
The old naughty boys have gone too far.
Because of this, he couldn't sleep all night.
I wish I could have another child and raise it again.
He and Jiujiu personally taught the child and did not allow the old naughty boys to interfere.
However, Dijiang felt sorry for Jiujiu and was worried about her. Even if Jiujiu was immortal, Dijiang could not bear the slightest danger to her. He also did not want her to go through the hardship of ten months of pregnancy again, so he had to give up the idea.
Dijiang and Jiujiu tried every means to educate the brother and sister, but they were still noisy and lawless. The key was that the two old naughty boys supported them.
When the brother and sister were thirteen years old, Dijiang and Jiujiu made up their minds and released them from the palace, allowing them to travel outside.
Let them experience the cruelty of the outside world and temper their tempers.
No one was sent to protect them, but only secret guards were sent to accompany them for protection.
Moreover, Di Jiang issued a death order that unless the brother and sister were in a life-threatening situation, the secret guards were not allowed to show up and were not allowed to help if they encountered any trouble.
Because of this death order, the brother and sister suffered a lot outside.
Especially when they just left the palace, they were cheated out of all the silver they needed for their three-year journey. One can imagine how hard it was for them afterwards.
During the three years, they were beaten, ate stale steamed bread, slept on a large bunk bed under a bridge, and were often exposed to the rain and went hungry. They were not well fed, not well clothed, and were chased by wild dogs.
They could no longer act lawless and call the shots like they did in the palace.
Fortunately, as the saying goes, "Without hard work, one can achieve success", the minds of the two were finally polished a little. They were no longer lawless, began to cherish what they had, understood the importance of strength, and learned some ways of the world.
After three years of traveling, the two returned to the palace and began to study hard and practice martial arts diligently, no longer being lazy.
Another three years passed, and when Di Ge was nineteen years old, Di Jiang was ready to abdicate and travel around the world with Jiujiu.
In recent years, many people have been talking about the fact that Dijiang and Jiujiu have not aged.
If this continues, I'm afraid my immortal body will be discovered.
Di Jiang is about to retire, but before he retires, there is something he has to do and must do.
.
Western Chu.
The Empress Dowager died of illness ten years ago.
The retired emperor and the empress dowager also returned to Western Chu for this reason.
After they returned, they lived a peaceful life for a few years, and then passed away one after another three years ago.
The reason for the two people's death was not an abnormal reason, but they were angered to death.
Who was so angry that he died?
Emperor Qing'an's Crown Prince Feng Yuchen.
When the retired emperor and the empress dowager were taking a walk, they saw with their own eyes that the prince suddenly attacked and killed important officials in the court in a place where no one was around. He was extremely arrogant and would not listen to the advice of those around him.
The two tried to persuade him earnestly, but were pushed to the ground by the prince, who seemed respectful and polite in normal times but was violent and cruel in private.
The two were already old and in poor health, and yet they were pushed down like this.
Both of them suffered severe blows physically and mentally, and never got up again.
Not long after, he passed away.
Emperor Qing'an learned the truth after the two passed away. When he was about to punish Crown Prince Feng Yuchen, the crown prince forced him to abdicate and was imprisoned.
Jiujiu only learned about this news a year ago.
Jiujiu wanted to go back to Western Chu to take a look, but she received a letter from the imprisoned Emperor Qing'an, asking her not to act rashly. Her thirteenth brother also said to wait and see.
If the prince is a good emperor who serves the country and the people after forcing his way to the throne, then it would be fine for him to sit in that position, and it would be okay for them to suffer some grievances.
Furthermore, Feng Yuchen is already the crown prince after all, and that position will be his sooner or later, so it would be okay to give it to him in advance, as long as he is worthy of the position.
However, after watching for a year, what they saw in the end was that the new emperor was not doing his job properly, but was wasting people's money and labor on massive construction projects, imposing heavy taxes and forced labor, and he also promoted villains, killed his most important ministers, had a huge harem, was extravagant everywhere, and did not listen to advice.
Western Chu was thrown into chaos in just one year.
The entire Western Chu was very dissatisfied with the new emperor.
Jiujiu's brothers tried to dissuade him, but were eventually killed.
Although those brothers were not familiar with Jiujiu and Jiujiu had not had much interaction with them, they were still brothers after all, and now they were killed...
When Jiujiu found out, she could no longer bear it.
The same is true for Dijiang.
Dijiang was ready to send troops to capture Western Chu and rescue the people, court officials, and Jiujiu's brothers who were suffering in dire straits.
This is also the last thing Dijiang has to do before abdicating.
Jiujiu and Dijiang went to war together.
The siblings Di Ge and Di Ying accompanied them.
The brother and sister were still thinking about what to do if something went wrong when their mother went to the war. They discussed that they should stay by their mother's side and protect her well and not let her get hurt.
However, the brother and sister were stunned when they saw Jiujiu playing the Liuguang Qin and the accompanying beasts attacking the enemy following the sound of the Qin.
"I didn't expect that my mother had this ability?" Di Ge said.
Di Ying was not surprised. "Haven't I heard about it before when I traveled around the world?"
Di Ge touched his head and said, "I thought it was fake and the people were just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"No, I have to kill the enemy well today and try my best to make merit. When I return, I will let my mother teach me this skill."
"Have you learned the swordsmanship that your father taught you? Also, didn't your mother teach you medicine and poison? How are you doing?" Di Ying asked.
"I have learned swordsmanship, but what's the point of learning medicine and poison? I don't want to learn them." Di Ge waved his hand indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Ge saw Xi Chu starting to attack with poison, and Jiujiu stopped playing the piano and started to detoxify.
