Next year | The young prince bent on revenge ✖ The ruthless evil uncle
In the 80th year of the Heng Dynasty, Emperor Su of the Ming Dynasty passed away, and his eldest son, King Chu Zhang of the Jin Dynasty, came to the throne and changed the name to Chengxi.
In the second year of Chengxi's reign, the emperor was assassinated and died at the age of twenty-four, leaving only one son, who was eight years old at the time.
What the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect was that the emperor actually passed the throne to Chu Cong, the third son of Emperor Mingsu, Prince An, on the grounds that "the prince is young and the country relies on the eldest monarch". Chu Cong came to the throne at the age of eighteen and changed his name to Zhaoning.
Brothers eventually become brothers, which has never happened before in this dynasty. What's more, the assassination of the late emperor was complicated and confusing, and many courtiers were dissatisfied. Bai Zhenjie, the imperial censor, took the lead in going to court, directly accusing King An of usurping power and seizing the throne, and asked him to return the throne to the late emperor's only son, King Huo Chu Yi.
However, Suo Ke, the general of the Northwest Army, and officials from Beijing, headed by the Yao family of the Queen Mother's mother clan, supported King An. The courtiers were forced by the power of the generals and the three major families of the Beijing faction, and finally had to admit King An's accession to the throne.
In the tenth year of Zhaoning, there was a severe drought in Yingchuan. Si Tianguan said that the drought was caused by the fact that the emperor had no children and the country's foundation was uncertain. The courtiers petitioned the emperor to welcome King Huo back so as to establish the foundation of the country and avert natural disasters.
So, Chu Yi, who was eighteen years old at the time, returned to the capital and met his good uncle again.
Suo Ke, Yao family, uncle, he will not let anyone go.
