Although the King of Qin and the King of Jin were born exactly alike, their personalities were completely opposite. The elder brother, the King of Qin, was quiet and reserved, while the younger brother, the King of Jin, was very lively and active. Therefore, the late emperor bestowed names upon the two brothers: Xiao Jianyan and Xiao Yongxing.
However, the late emperor did not live to see his two brothers come of age before he fell seriously ill and passed away not long after.
Thus, Emperor Xiao Chengping ascended the throne, and his mother, Consort Hua, began her life of ruling from behind the curtain.
However, even after her son inherited the throne, she still regarded the brothers Xiao Jianyan and Xiao Yongxing as thorns in her side.
It was only through the combined efforts of Empress Tao and her maternal clan that the lives of the two brothers were saved.
Empress Tao loved her sons dearly and put a lot of effort into their education and upbringing. In addition, the two brothers were exceptionally intelligent, so over the years they became proficient in both literary and military arts. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Jin were far superior to their elder brother who sat on the dragon throne.
This is what Hua is most unwilling to accept.
A few years later, Empress Tao fell seriously ill due to overwork and passed away.
Without their mother's protection, the King of Qin and the King of Jin lived in dire straits.
At that time, there was a battle on the border, so Consort Hua came up with a plan and sent the two brothers to quell the rebellion. In fact, she wanted them to die on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, the two brothers were not only incredibly lucky, escaping several waves of assassination attempts she sent, but they also became famous in one battle, shocking those small border countries.
This turned out to be a case of Empress Dowager Hua losing more than she gained by trying to steal a chicken.
When the two brothers, who had distinguished themselves in battle, returned in triumph, she discovered that instead of eliminating them, she had given them the opportunity to make a name for themselves and establish themselves in the court.
However, something unexpected happened during this time.
Xiao Jianyan and Xiao Yongxing returned carrying a baby boy in swaddling clothes. It was said that they had the child with a camp prostitute while they were in the army, but the woman died in childbirth, so there was no trace of her.
Frankly speaking, even if the child is Xiao Jianyan and Xiao Yongxing's, they could have chosen not to reveal his identity in such a dishonorable way.
But they did it anyway, probably just to make Empress Dowager Hua back down.
Because in Empress Dowager Hua's mind, although the two brothers could not inherit the throne, their offspring were still qualified to do so.
So when the two brothers reached the point of discussing marriage, Consort Hua used countless cruel methods, either killing the young ladies they were engaged to or driving them insane. In short, throughout the entire capital, practically no one dared to marry the two brothers.
When Xiao Jianyan and Xiao Yongxing returned defeated, they did not show any arrogance. Instead, they demonstrated to Empress Dowager Hua through their actions that the two brothers had absolutely no intention of vying for the throne.
Xiao Jianyan usually lived a secluded life, like an old monk in meditation, detached from worldly affairs, while Xiao Yongxing frequented brothels and indulged in debauchery to the extreme.
Adding to the mix was Xiao Shanghe, whose origins were unknown and whose status was so low that he wasn't even worthy of being included in the imperial register. Empress Dowager Hua finally realized that these two brothers had truly given up everything in order to live a peaceful life.
After that, she lived peacefully with them for a few more years.
It wasn't until the Prince of Qin grew up that the conflicts between them resurfaced.
The reason is simple: the current emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years and has countless concubines, yet none of them have been able to give birth to a son or daughter.
what does that mean?
This means that the empire that Empress Dowager Hua painstakingly built back then could very well fall into the hands of the Xiao brothers, because even if things don't go well, they still have Xiao Shanghe.
