Chapter 62 Hidden Plot

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuning was a little surprised: "What does this have to do with Liang State?"

Chen Shaojie said: "The princess is in the deep palace and has little contact with the affairs of the court. She should not know much about the regent of the Liang State. You don't know that although this regent is not old, he has a strong skill. Since he took over the Liang State, he has not only managed the Liang State in an orderly manner, but his national strength has become increasingly strong, but he is also ambitious and attempts to invade other countries' territory! His subordinates act frequently in private, and the other six countries are often disturbed by him."

The regent of Liang State actually had the idea of ​​unifying the seven kingdoms?! Isn’t this a car colliding with the male protagonist?

When Jun Jiuning listened to his words, a scene from the original text of "The Storm and Clouds" emerged in his mind: "A young and handsome emperor conquered the six kings and finally achieved the great cause of unifying the world. His arrogant figure seemed to be a rock abandoned by the world on the cold throne, looking at Feng Yunxi next to him silently."

For some reason, her heart suddenly felt sore, as if she was also empathetic with Mu Yun, who had ascended the throne, and looked at the countless men entangled with her surrounded by her beloved.

Although I have a thousand miles of land, my heart is empty.

Thinking of the male protagonist who was so frustrated in the love scene, Jun Jiuning couldn't help but raise his hand and gently cover his chest. He wondered why she felt uncomfortable about it?

And no matter how you think about it, it's wrong. Since Mu Yun is the biggest villain in "The Storm and Clouds" and finally realizes the ambition of unifying the seven kingdoms, why does she have almost no impression of the battle between him and the Regent of Liang State...

The memories that were originally clear in her mind seemed to be covered with a layer of mist when she encountered something related to the Regent of Liang State. Jun Jiuning suddenly couldn't remember what kind of character he was.

She only vaguely remembered that the regent of Liang State was also a person who had a tangle with Feng Yunxi, and probably one of Feng Yunxi's harems?

She was so immersed in her mind that she completely ignored Chen Shaojie in front of her, and just stared blankly at the willow branches that had sprouted in the distance, with her eyes stiffening on her face.

Chen Shaojie also found that Jun Jiuning suddenly became conscious while chatting. He was afraid that he had said something he shouldn't say, so he reached out to shake it in front of her, with a little confused tone: "Princess? What are you thinking? But what is wrong with what I said just now?"

Jun Jiuning was pulled back to reality by the palm that suddenly appeared in front of him. He smiled like a concealment and asked casually: "What Chen Shaojun said is very true. I am good at the deep palace and have never been allowed to participate in the government affairs, so I don't know anything about these things. However, after hearing what Chen Shaojun said, I was a little interested in this regent. I don't know what kind of person this regent is?"

So that's it. Chen Shaojie breathed a sigh of relief and was naturally willing to answer her: "The regent of Liang State is actually not a royal relative, nor is he a capable minister and general of Liang State, but a serious prince. The old Liang Emperor originally had four sons, and the youngest was the fourth prince Gu Yun, the current regent."

"I guess the princess should know that Liang State was far inferior to our Chu State at the time, so the old Emperor Liang sent the fourth prince, who was only five years old as a hostage. It was not until the fourth prince was ten years old that he welcomed him back to Liang State on the excuse of enlightenment for him. However, I have heard some old people say: These fourth princes are born in a humble background, and their mother is just a palace maid who accidentally won the holy favor and was only a beauty. Therefore, the life of these fourth princes in the Liang Palace is probably even worse than the great palace maids around Queen Liang!"

Jun Jiuning frowned and half-believed and half-doubted, "No matter what, this fourth prince is also a dignified prince, how could he end up in such a miserable end?"

Chen Shaojie shook his head and looked at Jun Jiuning with some envy. He was not born to the Chen family's legitimate mother, so he knew the suffering of being a concubine's son.

But Jun Jiuning is the eldest daughter of the Queen of the First Queen. He was raised by Emperor Wen and Queen of the First Queen since childhood. Naturally, he felt that Jun Jiuning would not understand the difficulties of these concubines of low-born origins: "The princess should know that the mother is worthy of her son, but she has never heard of the saying that the son is worthy of her mother, right?"

Jun Jiuning nodded indifferently, but thought in his heart that he still wanted you to teach me? Is this kind of palace fighting drama very familiar with it?

She took the initiative to speak, "So the mother of the fourth prince is low, and even the fourth prince is not valued?"

Chen Shaojie nodded: "Yes, but later, because Lao Liang Emperor ignored the mother and son, the fourth prince's biological mother, Meiren Mu, was killed and died tragically, and the fourth prince was also injured and disappeared. The entire Liang Palace thought he was dead."

Jun Jiuning immediately raised his eyes in surprise: "Is there such an inside story?"

Chen Shaojie pursed his dry lips and nodded: "Later, when the old Liang Emperor passed away, the third son fought for the throne with his three sons, the fourth prince who had been missing for many years suddenly appeared and ruthlessly killed all the three princes of Liang State. Then he carried the youngest son, who had just been born, to the throne, proclaimed himself the Regent, and announced to the public that he was in charge of the new emperor.

"Why didn't he ascend the throne by himself?" Jun Jiuning looked at Chen Shaojie in confusion, "He can kill all three brothers regardless of his reputation. Could it be that he is still afraid that the people of Liang will say that he is tyrannical, isn't he a wise ruler?"

Chen Shaojie smiled: "Of course it's not that simple. If these four princes ascended the throne by themselves, the people below may not be convinced, and there is no shortage of people who are tempted to kill him and replace him. But if the eldest prince's bloodline sits on the throne, the ministers who support the Queen Liang lineage will temporarily endure him for the sake of the new emperor and use the name of the Regent to control the government."

"I think when the current Xiao Liang Emperor grows up, Liang Kingdom will usher in another bloody storm."

Jun Jiuning sighed: "This seizure of power is really complicated."

Is the throne above ten thousand people really so attractive?

Why didn't this story of the Regent of Liang State appear in "The Storm of the City" at all?

However, Jun Jiuning also became a little anxious. The Regent was a tough character, but when he faced Mu Yun, who had the aura of the male protagonist, he didn't know how fierce the two of them would have a fight.

As a qualified melon-eating crowd, she will definitely not miss this good show at that time!

Chen Shaojie saw that she looked full of distress on her face for a while, and her eyes lit up again, and was full of excitement. He thought that Jun Jiuning had a whim and wanted to make trouble, so he hurriedly advised: "But our State of Chu is only His Royal Highness, and the Crown Prince is virtuous and dedicated to the people. The whole country loves His Royal Highness, and he will not fall into the current situation of Liang State in the future!"
