King Ping had two sons and three daughters. This one from Changsha County was his eldest son, but he was not a direct descendant. That little girl, Princess Ruoqing, had been properly placed by Gui Yunzheng when Xiangyang City was destroyed.
At that time, Princess Ping had been infertile for many years. After being drunk, Prince Ping accidentally had sex with a maid. Originally, it was not a big deal for a prince to sleep with a few lowly servants. However, what I didn't expect was that King Ping's shot actually hit the target. A few months later, the maid's belly bulged and she had no choice but to tell King Ping that she was pregnant with his son.
This is a great thing!
Although this maid is ordinary in appearance, she now has Prince Ping's seed in her belly. Naturally, the mother will be valued more than her son. Prince Ping, who had been childless for many years, did not care whether he would be a son or a daughter. He thought, as long as it is his own seed, how many times will he have more children in the future?
Therefore, the maid suddenly rose to prominence and became King Ping's concubine.
However, what is even more dramatic is that not long after the maid became pregnant, Princess Ping, who had been infertile for many years, also became pregnant.
Double happiness!
King Ping was so happy that he almost flew into the sky.
But as a result, Princess Ping's somewhat gloomy mood improved again, and her status, which had been somewhat loose, became firm again.
After some time, the two concubines gave birth to a son one after another.
Logically speaking, the son born to the side concubine is the eldest son, but after all, Princess Ping is the main concubine, and she has had a relationship with Prince Ping for many years. Therefore, in the end, Prince Ping cut the knot with one stroke and designated the son born to Princess Ping as the candidate to succeed the prince in the future.
Origin determines everything.
Reluctantly, the concubine took her son and angrily went to Changsha County, the fiefdom given to her son by King Ping. They stayed there for many years and never returned to Xiangyang.
Ordinarily, this is the case.
However, the son born to Princess Ping is really not very impressive. When he was four or five years old, he was still unable to speak and acted foolishly. After being diagnosed by a doctor, it turned out that he was a born fool.
This made Prince Ping really happy.
Later, Princess Ping's belly became stronger and she gave birth to three children in a row, but they were all daughters.
When things developed to this point, Prince Ping had to focus on his eldest son.
As a result, people were asked to give people and food was given. Over the past few years, Changsha County was built as prosperous as Xiangyang.
However, the side concubine was really more precious than her mother and her son at this time, and even Prince Ping didn't want to see her. Prince Ping wrote several times asking her to return to the palace, but she ignored them and acted very tough.
As for the prince, he was very filial to his mother, and when his mother was wronged, he also felt some resentment towards Prince Ping in his heart. Therefore, although King Ping had vigorously supported Changsha County for many years, even if he was a little grateful, he would only visit the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion every year on King Ping's birthday.
Therefore, after King Ping escaped from Xiangyang, he did not take the next step to the stronger Changsha County. He was also afraid that his concubine would laugh at him for his current embarrassed appearance.
Now, under the rule of King Ping, after losing Xiangyang, only Ezhou, Jingzhou, Changsha County, Hengzhou, etc. are left in the territory. And Hengzhou has been compressed again because of Ling Yue.
This is a very dangerous signal!
Faced with enemies from both sides, he was in a dilemma, and the relationship between father and son was not harmonious. King Ping's sigh hid great helplessness.
Looking at it this way, if Changsha County cannot defend it, the consequences are self-evident.
"Quickly dispatch 50,000 troops to help the Crown Prince defend Changsha County!"
King Ping finally made a decision.
"But, Your Majesty, if we allocate another 50,000 soldiers, Jingzhou will only have less than 30,000 soldiers capable of fighting! If so, if Wei Dayong cannot defend Jingmen, Jingzhou will be in danger!"
The master was shocked when he heard this and quickly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Go ahead..."
After saying that, Prince Ping shook his head and leaned on the chair tiredly.
