Top Ten Good Mothers in Quick Transmigration Chapter 366: : Prince Xiong’s Queen Mother (1)
Xiao Kingdom, one of the four major kingdoms in the Central Plains, is at the time when the fourth emperor, Emperor Qing, is on the throne. However, Emperor Qing has been on the throne for 20 years, and he is now old. Xiao Guo has no princes, and Emperor Qing has six descendants The prince is fighting openly and secretly.
Recently, Emperor Qing's health has become worse and worse, and he fell into a coma from time to time.
So everyone could see that Emperor Qing was dying, and his death was only a matter of time. Many ministers stood in line one after another, looking forward to the success of the dragon.
On the surface, the six princes are evenly matched, but in fact, smart people know that only the eldest prince and the sixth prince are really capable of competing for that position.
Elder Prince Xiao Qingheng was born of Empress Yuan of Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing didn't like Empress Yuan.
Although Xiao Qingheng is a legitimate son, but because he was born in the Yuan Dynasty, he was not welcomed by Emperor Qing, and it can even be said that he grew up in the cold palace.
When he became an adult, he was crowned king early and asked him not to live in the palace, and told him clearly that the throne would not be left to him.
After the death of the Empress Yuan, Emperor Qing appointed Concubine Lin Gui as his successor, and the six princes were born in succession.
Lin Jihou is the true love of Emperor Qing. The sixth prince, Xiao Qingyu, is the youngest son of Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing naturally loves him thousands of times, and has been paving the way for Xiao Qingyu to ascend the throne. Emperor Qing even wanted to make Xiao Qingyu several times. The prince, however, was vetoed by the courtiers that the prince must be established as a heir and elder.
It stands to reason that Xiao Qingheng should be the crown prince, but Xiao Qingyu was the successor, and he was favored by Emperor Qing.
But at the beginning, most of the people still stood for the sixth prince Xiao Qingyu.
The biggest reason is becoming a king, that is, the eldest prince Xiao Qingheng has no help from outside forces, and is alone and helpless. It is difficult for him to face the other princes, let alone the sixth prince.
However, everything changed after King Cheng married Yin Yin, the daughter of a fourth-rank military officer.
Yin Yin's father got the position of the fourth-rank military officer after he made military achievements step by step from a small soldier.
At the very beginning, when Xiao Qingheng asked Emperor Qing to marry Yin Yin, Emperor Qing agreed after only thinking for a moment.
Emperor Qing looked down on Xiao Qingheng, the eldest son, and didn't want him to succeed to the throne, so naturally he wouldn't find him a powerful family.
So, Emperor Qing agreed, and the only daughter of the Yin family married Xiao Qingheng and became Princess Cheng.
It's just that, in the following ten years, Emperor Qing did not expect such a change.
Not long after Xiao Qingheng married Yin Yin as the princess, it was the eighth year of Emperor Qing's ascension to the throne, and Liang Guo started a war against Xiao Guo.
At that time, Yin's father led the Yin family's son Lang to stand up, Mao recommended himself, and went to the border to start a war with Liang Guo.
The national strength of the Xiao State is weaker than that of the Liang State. In the eyes of most people, this is undoubtedly an inevitable defeat. This difficult battle lasted for eight years. In the end, Father Yin and his son defeated the State of Liang. The country had to cede five cities.
This battle not only strengthened Xiao Guo's national power, but also made the Yin family famous in the first battle. Emperor Qing had no choice but to comply with the opinions of the soldiers and the people.
It was also because of this battle that the 100,000 troops in the northwest were firmly controlled by the Yin family. The soldiers in the northwest only knew the Yin family, not the royal family.
Because Cheng Wang Xiao Qingheng married the only daughter of the Yin family as his concubine, the power of the Great General of Zhenbei naturally belonged to him.
