hexagram says

Queen Jiang was born in a noble family, her father was an important minister in the court, and her elder brother was a famous general in various places.Queen Jiang has been expected and concerned since she was born. She can be called a noble daughter. Whether she becomes a queen in the future or is given as a gift to become the concubine of princes and kings, it will be a supreme honor.

Li Wang is tyrannical and licentious, he only knows about gold cups and wine all day long, having fun with dancing girls, abandoning the government and the people.The princes of the four directions are staring at each other, the people are in dire straits, many rebels have formed a climate in Wangji, and the Wangcheng is in danger.

In order to please King Li, Duke Rongyi promoted the "patent" system and took all the land, mountains, forests, rivers and seas into the dynasty's possession, and did not allow the people to farm or live in the mountains, which intensified the conflict between the royal family and the people.

In the 37th year of King Li, the people rose up and besieged the city of Haojing. King Li fled. Except for the prince, all his descendants were arrested and beheaded in the king's city by the angry people.

Duke Mu took advantage of the chaos and hid the crown prince Ji Xuanjing in his home in the city. When someone in the palace leaked the news, the rebels chased him to Duke Mu's mansion and demanded that the prince be handed over and beheaded.

Duke Mu fought hard against the mob, and moved them with emotion and reason, but he still couldn't appease their anger.

"I have repeatedly remonstrated with the king, but the king did not listen to the words of his ministers, so it is today's trouble. However, if the crown prince comes out today, it will definitely cause unforeseen disasters. Serving the king of the princes, even if there is a grudge, you can't be angry. If you are in danger, you should do your best to rescue , what’s worse is the king?” Duke Mu gathered his family together, and after saying such words, he dragged his youngest son out of the door and shouted.

"This son is the prince!"

The people rose up in an instant, and added them with messy sticks and farm tools.Soon, the young child was beaten for breath.

The mob saw that the "Prince" had passed away, that King Li had fled elsewhere and disappeared, and that the blood of the royal family had been cut off, so they put away their hostility and gradually left.

Ji Xuanjing hid inside the door, covered her head and listened to the yelling and begging for mercy outside, and kept repeating in her mind the scene of brothers and sisters in the palace dying under the butcher's knife, biting her lips to prevent herself from making a sound, tears It's already flowing in rivers.

Duke Mu endured the pain of losing his son, disguised the prince Ji Xuanjing as his own child, and personally taught him the etiquette of being a king, hoping that he would become a wise king and revitalize the royal family.

Queen Jiang is still young, but she also understands some truths.She saw her younger brother being beaten to death by the mob, and she wanted to run out to save her, but was stopped by her father.They are kings and ministers. It is their destiny to put the country first and then the family.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, not to mention that the princes are covetous, and the foreign tribes are constantly harassing.Duke Mu and Duke Ding discussed night after night, and finally came up with a solution - republic

Before the crown prince Ji Xuanjing came of age, Duke Mu and Duke Ding jointly governed the government, known as "Republican Administration" in history.

In the 14th year of the Republic of China, King Li was overwhelmed by the news that the prince had died, and died in the land of Yu.

Under the protection and teaching of Mu Gong, Ji Xuanjing gradually grew up, behaved like a gentleman, respected etiquette and law, and became more and more like a wise king.Both Mugong and Dinggong were very satisfied, and they secretly handed over part of the government affairs to Ji Xuanjing to take care of them, which was actually very orderly.

After dozens of years, Queen Jiang, who was once ignorant of the world, has also become a slim woman who knows etiquette and advances and retreats. She is worthy of being the daughter of Duke Mu.She is older than Ji Xuanjing, but she doesn't have too much gap with him like Mrs. Guoxiang.So the burden of enlightening Ji Xuanjing on weekdays fell on Queen Jiang.

Ji Xuanjing often played with Queen Jiang, and they were childhood sweethearts.During the years of getting along, Queen Jiang has long been pleased with Ji Xuanjing, but the hatred of the country and the family and the obligation of being the co-lord have always been on Ji Xuanjing, leaving him no time to distract himself from thinking about love.

Duke Mu naturally saw what his daughter was thinking, but he could not influence the marriage of the prince, who would be the future king.But for the sake of his daughter, he still had the courage to ask Ji Xuanjing what he thought.

It was only at this time that Ji Xuanjing finally took a closer look at this childhood playmate. At this time, he had turned into an appearance he didn't know. Looking at Wangcheng, she was definitely a beauty that all nobles were chasing after each other.

But he didn't have any feelings for Queen Jiang, he only regarded her as his elder sister.But seeing the gleam in Queen Jiang's eyes, and the awe and guilt on Mu Gong's face, he couldn't help but think of the child who died for him that day.

In order to make up for her debt to Duke Mu, Ji Xuanjing agreed to marry Queen Jiang.

On the day Ji Xuanjing was crowned, Duke Mu and Duke Ding announced to the world that the crown prince Ji Xuanjing was still alive and would ascend the throne.The mobs who rebelled many years ago are somewhat old. Although they were angry when they heard the news, they had no energy left to start a rebellion again.What's more, the republican governance in the past few years has slightly restored some public opinion, and after the end of the war, the people have gradually lived a stable life of living and working in peace and contentment.Everyone is watching.The people trusted the two prime ministers, and they heard that the crown prince was taught by the prime minister himself, so they also had expectations for the new king.

When Queen Li, who fled with King Li back then, heard that Ji Xuanjing had ascended the throne, she also returned to Wangcheng from Yidi and became the Queen Mother.

Duke Ding was old and died within a year after Ji Xuanjing ascended the throne.Ji Xuanjing held a grand funeral for him, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth to show his virtue.

There was no happy event in the funeral for one year, and in the second year, Ji Xuanjing married Queen Jiang, the daughter of Duke Mu.

She fantasized about the arrival of this day more than once. The boy from back then has become the handsome and majestic co-lord of the world. How can such a husband keep her from being moved?

However, Ji Xuanjing's polite restraint was exhausted by the girl's affection.She thought that Ji Xuanjing had at least some friendship with her, but Ji Xuanjing treated her like a respected elder, never overstepping the rules, although she would smile at her, but never got close.

Her king, her husband, doesn't love her at all.Queen Jiang woke up more than once in the middle of the night. She stared blankly at Ji Xuanjing lying outside, with sadness and hatred rising in her heart.He had never slept in the same bed with him, nor had he touched him.Sitting alone in the empty Queen's Hall, she felt regretful for the first time.

But Queen Jiang soon let go.Her father taught her not to be jealous since she was a child. After a long time, she found that she didn't seem to like Ji Xuanjing that much.At least he is still alone, he does not have a harem, unlike his father, who is as lewd as his father, he only has his own queen.

But soon, she discovered that Ji Xuanjing had changed.

In the past, he devoted all his attention to government affairs, correcting memorials day and night, thinking of various laws and decrees that would benefit the people, and devoted himself to revitalizing the dynasty.She is very knowledgeable and can occasionally give pointers.

Although majestic and clear, he has no human touch, like a marionette.

I don't know when it started, Ji Xuanjing's eyes suddenly lighted up. Every time she came here, she not only talked about government affairs, but also occasionally gossiped, and the most mentioned name was...

duper.

Queen Jiang had heard of this name, and she seemed to be a wise man who had been elected, with a suave and handsome appearance, and captured the hearts of many daughters in the royal city.

At first she didn't take this Du Bo seriously, but thought that Ji Xuanjing was happy after getting a talented person.Until she accidentally broke the intimate scene between Du Bo and Ji Xuanjing.

This day, as usual, she was going to send the documents managed by the palace to the palace where the official documents were handled, but she didn't know what to think for a while, so she turned her head and went to Ji Xuanjing's study.Standing outside the hall, she waved away all the attendants, and went in alone to surprise Ji Xuanjing.

The more doubts in Queen Jiang's heart when King Yue left, why didn't she meet a guard or maid along the way?

Imaginative voices came from the room, but they belonged to two men.Queen Jiang resisted the thought of pushing the door open, but tiptoed to the door and opened a small crack.

It was a scene she would never forget.The young man in the past, the king now, unexpectedly has such a sincere smile and expression.The nostalgia and infatuation in his eyes are exactly the same as her back then.

Anger, confusion, heartache, all kinds of different emotions mixed together squeezed Queen Jiang's heart.She gently exited the study, adjusted her expression, and brought her attendants back to the palace where government affairs were handled.

Perhaps it was because Ji Xuanjing and Du Bo got close too frequently, and the Queen Mother also heard some gossip, saying that someone had recently entangled Ji Xuanjing, which caused him to be a little neglected in government affairs.

The Queen Mother was terrified.When she was Queen Li, there were a group of Yingying and Yanyan around King Li, and it was because of these people that all the disasters that followed were caused.His son must never embark on such a path!

The queen mother was anxious to announce Ji Xuanjing, and this matter was also known by Queen Jiang.

This was originally a good opportunity to get rid of Du Bo in one fell swoop, but she took off her hairpin, changed into a plain dress, and arrived at the queen mother's palace before Ji Xuanjing.

"Everything is the fault of the minister. It is the minister who is greedy for the king and asks for punishment." She bowed her head and knelt in front of the empress dowager, taking all the blame on herself.

Ji Xuanjing, who came late, just heard these words, and looked at Queen Jiang in surprise.

This move won unanimous praise from the top and bottom of the court, and the turmoil was calmed down in this way.

In the candlelight, Ji Xuanjing and Queen Jiang were relatively silent.She admitted frankly that she already knew about Wang and Du Bo, but she didn't intend to stop it, but would help him cover it.

In any case, she will never forget the child crying in her arms.As long as he lives well, his life as a courtier will be worth it.

Ji Xuanjing promised that Queen Jiang would be free when he abdicated, and she would have absolute freedom during this period, including finding another good relationship.

But no one could wait for this day.

When Ji Xuanjing wanted to kill Du Bo desperately, Queen Jiang knelt in front of the palace all night, hoping that he could take back his life.But Du Bo was still dead, without even an inscription on his tomb, and his body was just exposed in the wilderness.At that time, Ji Xuanjing suddenly became seriously ill. It was said in the world that the royal family hated Du Bo so much that even if he was seriously ill, he would wake up and kill Du Bo.

In the past few years, Ji Xuanjing began to use troops abroad. Queen Jiang's elder brother was proficient in the art of war, so he was naturally reused by Ji Xuanjing.

At that time, on a rainy night, Queen Jiang ventured to disguise herself as an ordinary court lady, and went out of the palace under the cover of night, and joined her elder brother who had already been waiting outside the palace.

"Does father know?" After they mounted their horses, Queen Jiang covered her face with a cloak, hugged her brother's waist tightly, and galloped out of the city in the rain.

"I don't know." The man shouted while holding the rein, and led his sister onto a path.

The authorities are bewildered by the bystanders, Ji Xuanjing has been completely bewitched by that female poison now, she has listened to her slander, and is unwilling to believe anyone.Queen Jiang knew very well that Ji Xuanjing would definitely regret it when she woke up, and she also felt sorry for Du Bo.He is indeed a genius of the sky, and he has helped Ji Xuanjing a lot, so he didn't deserve such an end.

She secretly contacted her brother and asked him to retrieve Dubo's body and find a mage and craftsman to build a tomb.Du Bo's bones have been sealed in ice until the tomb is completed today.

The reason why Queen Jiang asked her elder brother whether their father Mu Gong knew about it was because Mu Gong was the one who took the lead in demanding Du Bo's death.

Du Bo was buried safely under the watchful eyes of Queen Jiang, and all the craftsmen were beheaded by her elder brother.No inscription, no sign, and no one but she would ever know where Dubbe lay.

Queen Jiang made a decision after returning to the palace, as long as Ji Xuanjing was not awake for a day, she would bury this secret in her heart for a day.But the long rain that night caused her to catch a cold, and her body became weaker and weaker.

Queen Jiang died before Ji Xuanjing recovered from her illness.

This is her life, a noble but poor woman.

The author has something to say: The savior of Shezi and Jiang Hou's hairpin mentioned in this chapter are all adapted from real historical stories.

Although this chapter is said to be a side story, it cannot be completely regarded as it.There are many foreshadowings hidden in it, which play a very important role in the final reveal.

None of the ancient texts in this article are the original text (the stupid author can’t find the original text, and the 24 history is not around)

Queen Jiang in the previous life was a good woman.She is very feudal in thinking, and finally dedicated her life to Ji Xuanjing.

Ji Xuanjing has no feelings for her, but because of herself, she lost her younger brother and Duke Mu lost his child. He couldn't accept such dedication with peace of mind, so he agreed to marry Queen Jiang as his compensation.

Note that it was Queen Jiang and Duke Mu who asked Ji Xuanjing to marry Queen Jiang, not him, so Ji Xuanjing is not a scumbag, don't call him a scumbag.

Finally, let me say it again, in the previous life, Du Bo and Ji Xuanjing were both clean.
