Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

Just like most of the methods used to treat important officials guarding the border in history, Xie Beichen was kept in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the capital after he was born, together with his grandmother, mother and other female relatives in the mansion. On the surface, he enjoyed the treatment of the family members of powerful officials and nobles, but in fact, he was more of a hostage to hold his father and brother hostage.

At the slightest sign of trouble, they are the first to be purged and slaughtered.

Perhaps it is because the Xie family has always been loyal, so compared with other military generals guarding the border, the Xie family’s treatment is obviously better.

Xie Beichen had been a companion to the prince since he was young. The emperor arranged for him to live in the palace and he grew up with several princes.

However, since ancient times, the royal family has rarely had true brotherhood and friendship.

In the end, what everyone will face is still the inevitable confrontation.

The reason why the Xie family could become the pillar of the country and prosper forever was not only because the men of the Xie family were indeed very brave, but more because of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Xie family.

The Xie family has a family motto that they will always be loyal to the person who sits on the throne.

She would never marry into the royal family and would not be involved in the struggle for the throne.

The Xie family always sticks to the middle and upholds justice, so they have never left the center of power and have always been the most trusted subjects of the royal family.

Therefore, even if Xie Beichen entered the palace at this time, he would naturally follow the ancestral precepts of the Xie family and would not make friends with any of the princes.

Of course, it was also because the environment in the palace at that time was far from being as tense as outsiders imagined. On the contrary, the relationship between the four princes seemed strangely harmonious.

At that time, the queen in the palace had already given birth to the eldest son. According to the rules of Dayan, as long as there were no other unexpected circumstances, the eldest son who had been appointed as the crown prince would naturally become the one who sat on the throne.

Even though the late emperor doted on the imperial concubine, she still gave birth to the third prince for him.

However, although the imperial concubine was favored, she was a non-competitive person no matter what the time was. She was completely different from the domineering imperial concubine that everyone imagined. She was very gentle and low-key, and was always respectful to the queen on weekdays. Therefore, the third prince always respected the crown prince and never disobeyed or offended him.

Sometimes, even when conflicts arose between the crown prince and other princes in the harem, he would stand on the crown prince's side without hesitation.

“The Third Prince has always told us that his greatest wish is to obtain a rich fiefdom after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, so that he can be a wealthy and idle prince, indulging in calligraphy and painting, and living a carefree life.

And we really thought at that time that this was what the Third Prince had in mind, his ultimate goal.”

Xie Beichen's tone was obviously slow when he said this. He sighed softly and was silent for a long time before continuing, "But no one expected that the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince would suddenly attack when the late emperor was seriously ill.

They produced a large amount of evidence and caught everyone off guard. Even if the evidence had been carefully examined, it would have been found to be full of loopholes. But under that situation, where was the time?

The Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince had been prepared for a long time. Who knows how many years they had been planning. They suddenly launched a fatal move. They acted ruthlessly and quickly, and directly poisoned the Empress, the Crown Prince, and everyone in the Eastern Palace to be buried with the late Emperor."

"A dog that bites doesn't bark."

Although Ruan Yu had not experienced those things in the past, she could not help but take a breath after listening to Xie Beichen's story, and could not help but sigh in a low voice: "They were well prepared and hid well, so it's not surprising that you were plotted against.

So, what happened next? "

"The Third Prince's accession to the throne was illegitimate, so naturally there will be bloodshed in the capital.

Although our Xie family was not deeply involved at the time, the Third Prince became suspicious of me because of my good relationship with the Crown Prince.

It was just that at that time, war broke out in the North and my father was seriously injured, so the Third Prince had to compromise and let me return to the North to take charge of the situation.

After all, compared to the chaos in the capital, the defense of the northern border is of utmost importance."

When Xie Beichen said this, a trace of pain appeared on his face: "I originally thought that after the Third Prince took the throne, he would understand the overall situation. But what I never expected was that in order to eliminate dissidents, he would actually play with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border and the defense of the northern border!"

"You mean, he stopped the supply of food and fodder to the border?"

Ruan Yu frowned slightly as she listened to Xie Beichen's story. This was all she could think of.

However, in response to Ruan Yu's speculation, Xie Beichen just shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "If so, then the soldiers on the border are not without a way out.

The important thing is that he not only stopped the supply of food and fodder, but also believed in slander and intended to collude with the barbarians outside the country."

"Is he crazy?"

Hearing Xie Beichen say this, Ruan Yu felt very uncomfortable.

"According to what you said, the defense of the North was not at the point of collapse at that time, and the foreign enemy was still outside the country. Why did he want to collude?

Isn't this just boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige? "

“Because he came to power illegitimately, he has always suspected that we, the soldiers, are dissatisfied with his existence, so our existence will shake the foundation of the country.

In his view, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding the border are not warriors who protect his country and homeland, but threats that may attack him and drive him off the throne.

So in order to eliminate these threats from us, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the barbarians, not only sold out our border defense map, but also colluded with the outside world to frame hundreds of thousands of our soldiers, who were eventually trapped in Wolf King Valley and shed blood on the battlefield..."

Xie Beichen did not continue to talk about the rest of the story. Instead, he was silent for a long time before continuing: "When I woke up, I came into this world and became a newborn baby."

Seeing Ruan Yu still looking at him, Xie Beichen smiled and continued, "Originally I thought I was the only one who came to this world, but then I met Sanjin.

San Jin was once the elder brother of the Crown Princess. Because of this relationship, the Wang family was immediately massacred by the Third Prince. At that time, he came to me and pointed out that the Third Prince had come to the throne illegitimately, and asked me to lead the troops back to the capital with him to restore order.

However, the war in the north was at a stalemate at that time, so I did not agree to his request.

Because of this incident, Sanjin has a grudge against me."

"If the soldiers from the northern border were transferred to Beijing at that time, the border would be left without defense and the barbarians would march straight in. The consequences would be unimaginable."

Although the demands of the Three Jins were reasonable, compared with the defense of the Northern Territory, it was still a personal grudge after all. So based on the Xie family motto, it was not surprising that Xie Beichen would refuse him.

Ruan Yu thought about it and did not hide her thoughts: "If I were in your situation, I would probably make the same choice.

Even if we want to restore order, we should at least deal with the border issues before moving on to the next step."

"This is also the reason why although the Three Jins resent me, they don't blame me or hate me."

Xie Beichen was not surprised by Ruan Yu's idea, he smiled slightly and continued: "Originally, San Jin and I thought that only he and I had such an adventure.

So we agreed to keep this a secret from childhood to adulthood, but what we didn’t expect was that the person actually came back!”
