Chapter 691 Ji Rujin ascends the throne
Three days later, the Liao army withdrew.
Although they didn't understand the reason, everyone was relieved that Xiao Jue, the madman, could withdraw his troops.
The King of Qin, who came to help from Zhuozhou, also breathed a sigh of relief and joined forces with the Youyun Cavalry under Di Ran to quickly put down the rebellion.
Western Shu, Jin and Tibetan Rong suffered heavy losses and would probably not be able to cause trouble in the next ten years or so. The danger to Eastern Zhou was lifted and the next step was to recuperate.
Now that Ji Fengwu is dead, although Prince Rui has restored his princely title, he has no interest in the throne and even plans to resign and become a commoner.
In the world today, Princess Jin is the only daughter of the previous emperor left, and she is also the most qualified candidate to inherit the throne.
In this way, Ji Rujin was pushed to the throne by the ministers.
Although she did not have a close relationship with King Rui, King Rui was very wise and still thought of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at the critical moment. King Jin was deeply touched by King Rui's benevolence and wanted to restore her title and grant her Xuzhou as a fief, but Ji Huashang refused.
After going through so much, she no longer had any attachment to imperial power and wealth, and it was fine to be a commoner.
Although Ji Huashang was not able to stay, Ji Ruijin still reserved the title for her sister.
Other ministers who have made contributions should be given titles and rewards; of course, some treacherous ministers who are disloyal will be eliminated and some will be killed or beheaded.
As for Empress Dowager Bo in the harem, she fell ill in anger when she learned that her daughter had died. She lay in bed all day and was almost dead.
The other concubines in the harem were all left behind by Ji Fengwu. Ji Ruijin had them sent away. Those who were willing to go home went home, while those who were unwilling to leave were sent to the exclusive palaces of the previous emperors' concubines to retire.
As for offspring, I don't know if it was because Ji Fengwu had committed too many sins. Among all the servants in the palace, only Feng Jun gave birth to a little prince. At the beginning, this child was almost miscarried due to a conspiracy.
Although the baby was born safely, he was not in good health due to premature birth.
Ji Rujin really didn't know what to do about Changsun Wuyou.
Ji Fengwu is dead, and Zhangsun Wuyou is his sister-in-law. Feng Jun is no longer suitable, as is the Queen Mother. But seeing how young his sister-in-law is, he can't bear to let her stay in the cage of the palace for the rest of her life. Ji Rujin has been away from home for many years and has seen many people in the martial arts world being carefree. He doesn't have the idea that a husband must stay with his wife for the rest of his life after his wife dies.
The women in the world are lovers. If they are compatible, they will come together. If they are not, they will separate.
She is still very open-minded.
However, there was no news from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and they didn't say anything about taking the person back, so she didn't know what to do with Changsun Wuyou.
Until one day, Changsun Wuyou asked to see her.
Ji Rujin asked someone to invite the other party in.
Neither side knew what they talked about, but after Changsun Wuyou left, the new emperor looked very strange, sometimes complicated, sometimes gloating.
A few days later, the little prince caught a cold, had a high fever and eventually passed away.
Zhang Sun Fengjun couldn't bear the blow and went crazy. He accidentally lit a candle at night and died in a sea of fire.
The new emperor was greatly shocked, and moved by the deep love between Changsun Fengjun and her son, he made an exception and buried the little prince and Changsun Fengjun together.
However, the ministers were quite dissatisfied, believing that Zhangsun Fengjun should be buried with the late emperor and not with the young prince.
However, Ji Rujin directly shut the ministers' mouths by saying that this was Changsun Fengjun's last words. Everyone knew Changsun Wuyou's special identity. He was supposed to be the future husband of Princess Xuan. After Princess Xuan was executed, Changsun Wuyou's identity was embarrassing and no one dared to marry him.
After Ji Fengwu ascended the throne, he disregarded her status and forced people into the palace. This was too absurd.
Everyone knows about Ji Fengwu's past. It would be a dream to say that Changsun Wuyou would be willing to be buried with a tyrant who forced him into the palace.
Therefore, it is normal that Changsun Wuyou's last words were that she did not want to be buried with the late emperor. As for the fact that Changsun Wuyou died accidentally in a sea of fire, how could she have had the opportunity to leave a will? Ji Rujin made excuses to cover it up.
