Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 565

The gold vein map marked the cities straddling the Huaixing River. There were two states and five cities in Xiliang, and three states and four cities in Beiyi.

Emperor Jing sent people to secretly dig up the gold veins in Liang, and gradually the country became stronger and its military power increased.

Once the country became strong and the army was powerful, the emperor began to have other thoughts and set his sights on the mineral veins on the northern wing.

Emperor Jing wanted these three states and four cities and proposed to exchange them for other cities, but was rejected. He then had no choice but to resort to force.

The first confrontation between Beiyi and Xiliang in history was between Emperor Jing and Emperor Hong.

The two sides fought fiercely, but ended up in a draw.

The reason was not that the northern wing resisted, but that ministers and generals in the Western Liang died one after another, causing the army to lose morale.

As a result, both sides retreated to their own defense areas. However, Xiliang and Beiyi could never return to the previous stage of friendly coexistence.

From then on, Xiliang went downhill.

Liang State was not short of gold and silver, but it was short of vitality. Their kings and ministers did not live long, and many of their pillars died suddenly at a young age.

The entire Xiliang was shrouded in a shadow, and rumors spread that it was cursed by the gods.

The mineral map was passed down in secret. Every emperor of Xiliang received the mineral map the moment he took over the imperial seal.

The Youzhou Luo family is the royal family of previous generations who stayed in the North Wing in order to explore the North Wing mineral veins.

The people of the two countries do not look any different, and the relationship has been going on for several generations, so how could anyone know that the Luo family of Youzhou is actually a branch of the Cen family of Xiliang.

This branch has always been loyal to the emperor and only obeyed the emperor.

When each emperor passed on the throne, he would treat the Youzhou Luo family, a hidden family, as a treasure and pass it on to the next emperor like a jade seal.

Emperor Mingde understood, "You were forced to abdicate, so the Luo family of Youzhou was not handed over to the current Emperor Yong of Liangguo."

Cen Yuan nodded and said in a low voice, "They have been waiting for me to return to the throne all their lives..."

This “they”, of course, includes not only the Luo family, but also the emperor’s hidden old subordinates.

Emperor Mingde really couldn't understand, "So you didn't contact them at all in your previous life, but hid in the North Wing as your Weibei General, guarding Shi Anxia?"

Cen Yuan lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

He is a man who is sentimental but short-sighted.

At the same time, what Cen Yuan did not tell Emperor Mingde was that he was a modern man.

When he accidentally traveled to the body of the young emperor Cen Yuan, although he received the other party's memories and skills, he had no sense of belonging to Xiliang.

He even felt that Emperor Yong had reasons to abdicate.

Whoever wants to be that damn emperor can be one.

There's nothing wrong with him being a Northern Wing person peacefully.

This wait lasted for half a lifetime.

Until the North Wing was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere, Cen Yuan escaped and returned to restore his country in order to save the North Wing.

Only then did we realize that although Xiliang was an invading country, the people were the ones who suffered the most.

How many people were conscripted to go to the battlefield, how many families were separated, and how many elderly people saw off their loved ones.

All this is the sin of war and the sin of the emperor.

Cen Yuan wants to live again not only for the person he loves, but also to prevent the people from suffering from war and being displaced.
