QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 56
by VolareThe people in the sky screen continued to recount the story of Emperor Jing being demoted and leaving the palace.
[At that time, Emperor Jing was nineteen years old. He wanted to die but met someone who extended a helping hand to him, and this person was his future Empress.]
[This person was Lu Yunqi, the only son of the former Chizhou garrison general and the nephew of Lu Jingren, the current governor of Wuzhou.]
[That’s right, Emperor Jing’s Empress was a man.]
[Moreover, Emperor Jing only had this one person in his harem, unlike previous emperors who had three palaces and six courtyards. Therefore, after he turned thirty, he was often urged by court officials to adopt an heir. Liang You, the second son of Prince Min, thus became the Crown Prince and was raised and carefully taught by Emperor Jing in the palace.]
[Liang You chose Emperor Jing’s posthumous title.]
[He was benevolent and righteous, firm in his actions, had great wisdom and foresight, so he was given the posthumous title of Jing.]
[He quelled disasters, was mighty and firm in virtue, so he was given the posthumous title of Wu.]
[My charming ancestor is historically known as Emperor Jing of Liang, and is also revered as Emperor Jingwu.]
One explosive piece of news after another reached the ears of the Liang Dynasty audience, whose statuses were vastly different.
The civil and military officials: “…”
Let’s just say, your emperor really knows how to play!
The current emperor seized his brother’s wife, and the next emperor was still a wise and brilliant ruler of a prosperous era but was into men!
Emperor Li of Liang hadn’t recovered from the shocking news that his A terrible son had become emperor when he heard that the other party had actually married a male Empress. Immediately, anger surged, rushing to his head and crown.
“Liang Jue, you dare to establish a male consort!!!”
“The reputation of having a cut-sleeve preference has spread to later generations, I have lost all my face!”
The eight princes were dumbfounded, “???”
No, is their ninth brother so brave?
This is a cut-sleeve affair! Which emperor throughout history would marry a man back to the palace and dote on him exclusively? It’s simply the biggest joke in the world!
The concubines of various palaces twitched at the corners of their mouths, “???”
Are the emperors of your Liang family so abstract?
They thought Emperor Li of Liang seizing his brother’s wife was enough to break through their cognitive range, but Emperor Jing directly pulled off something even bigger than his father!
A male Empress, he’s literally creating historical precedents!
The imperial relatives had no intention of paying attention to Emperor Jing’s harem, their attention was all on Emperor Jing’s heir. Whose family was this child named Liang You from?
After the eight princes got over their shock, they also began to think about whose family the child adopted by their ninth brother was from.
Liang You… whose son is he?
They tried their best to eliminate possibilities, but there was too little information to be sure who it was.
Forget it, they’ll continue watching!
[Speaking of Lu Yunqi and Emperor Jing’s love, it’s another earth-shattering story.]
[In Emperor Jing’s eventful life, Lu Yunqi was the first person to reach out to the world-weary young Emperor Jing and do his best to treat Emperor Jing well.]
[The Emperor Jing who fell among the people had a new name.]
[…Given Lu Yunqi’s surname and named Changli, he was known as Lu Changli.]
Before the crowd could react, the blogger continued to explain the story of this Emperor and Empress.
[The first thing Lu Yunqi did after taking Emperor Jing down the mountain was to take Emperor Jing to the clinic to see a doctor. It was also at the home of that doctor and his grandson that Emperor Jing felt the most simple and honest kindness of the people. The doctor’s grandson, who was afraid that Emperor Jing would find the medicine bitter, gave Emperor Jing a piece of osmanthus candy.]
[And this child also entered the Imperial Hospital after passing the examination in the twelfth year of Jingming, walked in front of Emperor Jing, and became Emperor Jing’s personal imperial physician.]
[After Emperor Jing’s health improved slightly, Lu Yunqi took Emperor Jing back to his uncle’s house in Wuzhou.]
[From Jinghuai City to Wuzhou, they traveled for three months. During this period, Emperor Jing met many people and truly felt the simplicity of the people at the bottom.]
[It was because of the kindness of the people and Lu Yunqi’s gentle treatment that the world-weary young man gradually developed the idea of living on.]
[He followed Lu Yunqi back to Wuzhou. At first, he addressed Lu Yunqi as a brother. Later, the two developed feelings for each other over time and officially fell in love during the Lantern Festival.]
The blogger’s expression became serious, straightening his back.
[Perhaps many people don’t understand how Emperor Jing, who was evaluated by historians as a great emperor of the ages and admired by later generations, could fall in love with Lu Yunqi, who at the time had neither an official position nor fame and was a wandering swordsman?]
[If we put ourselves in his shoes, suppose you are the young Emperor Jing, unloved by your father and mother, uncared for by anyone, and having tasted all the suffering in the world. There is no one by your side, but there is a well-born, highly skilled person who loves and protects you. He will search for famous doctors because you are sick, run to pastry shops because you like sweets, and accompany you through every memorable festival…]
[You have changed from a pitiful and unwanted person to a treasure held in the palm of someone’s hand. The other person understands you, cherishes you, pities you, and loves you, pulling you out of the abyss. Tell me, wouldn’t you be moved!]
[The most important thing is that Lu Yunqi did not know Emperor Jing’s true identity at that time, nor did he know that Emperor Jing would become emperor in the future. Emperor Jing was taking on the script of an orphan at the time, but Lu Yunqi just liked him.]
[Lu Yunqi was even willing to risk the world’s condemnation to marry Emperor Jing, even if he was repeatedly persuaded by his elders at home, he still wanted to marry Emperor Jing as his husband.]
[You heard that right, Emperor Jing married Lu Yunqi first, and then Lu Yunqi married Emperor Jing.]
[The two of them got married twice at that time.]
The crowd who originally wanted to scold suddenly shut their mouths and stopped questioning their relationship.
But Emperor Li of Liang’s expression was still very ugly, his hands clenched and released, then clenched again.
As the protagonist being reviewed by the sky screen, Liang Jue, who had just been reborn yesterday after dying at the age of nineteen, stared blankly at the sky screen above the cold palace.
“Lu Yunqi, Lu Changli…”
Could this be his other life?
The Emperor and Empress loved each other and created a prosperous age. It was much better than how he fared in his previous life.
How exactly did that Emperor Jing in the sky screen quell the chaos in the Liang Dynasty?
He wanted to listen carefully and learn from it.
At the same time, he also wanted to know what exactly he did wrong in the ten years he reigned as emperor in his previous life.
Why was everything he did wrong?
The blogger was still talking eloquently, looking at the live broadcast camera placed in front of him.
[Emperor Jing, who got married among the people, initially just wanted to stay in Wuzhou and live a peaceful life. He never thought about fighting back to Jinghuai City to become emperor.]
[He saw the suffering of all living beings, but had no intention of saving the world.]
[Because the Liang Dynasty at that time had already shown signs of decline and had the signs of a short-lived dynasty. Liang was plagued by internal and external troubles, and the world would definitely be in chaos within ten years.]
[If it weren’t for Emperor Jing, the Liang Dynasty would probably have perished at the hands of Emperor Li of Liang or his son. The ancestors of the Liang family should all thank Emperor Jing.]
[But what was the reason that Emperor Jing suddenly had the idea of seizing the throne and becoming emperor? This has to start with Lu Yunqi. Lu Yunqi was born in Chizhou and grew up in Jinghuai City. He was considered a rare military talent at the time.]
[Lu’s father and mother and other border generals desperately blocked the iron cavalry of the northern nomadic people in the twelfth year of Kangjing, protecting the peace of the border people, but after their deaths, they were slandered by villains and turned from heroes into criminals.]
[Lu Yunqi knocked on the Dengwen Drum to ask Emperor Li of Liang to retry the case of the Chizhou generals, but failed. Lu Jingren, who was then a Jinghuai City official, even wrote a memorial for this, thus angering Emperor Li and being demoted to Wuzhou as an official.]
[Lu Yunqi was completely disappointed with Emperor Li.]
[Therefore, even though he had good martial arts skills, he was unwilling to enter the court as an official to serve the emperor, but he never wasted his martial arts skills that he had practiced hard for more than ten years.]
[Emperor Jing saw this every time and eventually had a different idea.]
[Emperor Jing wanted to change the chaotic world at that time, to allow ambitious people to realize their ambitions, to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and to create a great and prosperous age with clear politics.]
[Therefore, he left Wuzhou and returned to Jinghuai City.]
