Ever since Li Yongxuan led his army into Lin'an City, Emperor Song had not had a good night's sleep and was always afraid of being killed.

In the past two years, Li Yongxuan first drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, then quelled the civil strife in the court, and also led his army to conquer the Annan countries. His prestige and momentum have reached an unprecedented level.

It can be said that everyone inside and outside the court hoped that Li Yongxuan could take power.

Emperor Song thought that Li Yongxuan sent someone to test him, so he neither agreed nor dared to refuse, lest he be killed.

After a few days of anxiety, someone proposed to marry Princess Rui to Li Yongxuan again.

Emperor Song hesitated for a while and then agreed.

Although he was reluctant to let his daughter marry Li Yongxuan, he had no choice but to do so because the situation was stronger than others.

What's more, my daughter will get married sooner or later, and by marrying Li Yongxuan, she might be able to have a guarantee.

On the other side, someone went to lobby Li Yongxuan, saying that the Song Emperor wanted to marry his daughter Princess Rui to him, and after the engagement, he took the initiative to abdicate the throne...

This is a bit like the son-in-law of the world's richest man and the vice president of the World Bank. It's pure deception.

When Li Yongxuan heard that Emperor Song was willing to take the initiative to abdicate, the prerequisite was that he marry the princess of Rui.

He thought for a moment and agreed.

Three days later, on an auspicious day, Li Yongxuan got engaged to Princess Rui.

Princess Rui was the only daughter of Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty and was born to Concubine Jia Guifei. She was less than eight years old.

Few people know Zhao Tuo's true life experience. Not only the Song Emperor, but almost everyone does not know that Zhao Tuo is the child of Li Yongxuan and Yan Guifei.

Princess Rui is too young, so it is naturally impossible for her to formally get married. It will be a formality and it will be over.

After the engagement was completed, Li Yongxuan made a courtyard for Princess Rui to live with her maids.

A few days later, on the first day of the new year, Emperor Song took his throne and moved out of the palace.

Li Yongxuan succeeded to the throne as the new emperor, granted amnesty to the world, changed the name of the country to Tian, ​​and the name of the era to Taiping, appointed Princess Rui as the queen, and made Xiaolongnu, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Wanyanping, Yeluyan, and Guo Fu as concubines.

…

Gongsun Lu'e was living in a deep valley, and he was officially married to Li Yongxuan. It was unreasonable for him to make her his concubine, so he simply didn't make it public.

Concubine Yan was not even mentioned. No matter what, she was nominally the concubine of Emperor Song.

If Li Yongxuan blatantly accepted Yan Guifei as his concubine, he would inevitably be criticized privately.

After Concubine Yan received the news, she almost ran away.

She and Zhao Tuo left the palace and moved into a Taoist temple. They thought they could successfully inherit the throne, but they never expected that they would end up in vain.

If Li Yongxuan had not promised in advance that Zhao Tuo would inherit the throne, Concubine Yan would have had a showdown with him.

Why, other women have status, but Yan Guifei has to follow Li Yongxuan in vain.

Concubine Yan didn't care about herself, but she wanted to plan a good future for her son Zhao Tuo.

She knew that Li Yongxuan kept his promises, but he would lie to her if they were not close.

Li Yongxuan really did not want to deceive Concubine Yan. In any case, Zhao Tuo was also his biological son, so giving him the throne was not too much.

At this time, he ruled more than a dozen countries. If he divided them randomly, what would it matter?

Not to mention, there are still many places that Li Yongxuan wants to conquer.

If Zhao Tuo performs well, give him a better place and become a local emperor.

If Zhao Tuo is too useless, just throw him in a garbage place and get rid of him.

Li Yongxuan decreed that all the maids in the palace should be dismissed, leaving only a few father-in-laws to serve, and all the excess would be used as waste.

On the one hand, he did not want to waste human resources and raise a group of useless burdens; on the other hand, these people had served the Song Emperor, and if they did not work satisfactorily, it would be better to send them out.

As soon as the palace maid and her father-in-law left, the minister proposed a draft to enrich the harem for Emperor Li Yongxuan.

Li Yongxuan did not refuse, but reduced the number of people from thousands to a hundred.
