Chapter 10 - chapter 2-5

In the following years, the Marquis of Jing'an repeatedly submitted a petition to resign the right to succeed the throne, but Taizu never acceded to his request. In the fourth year of Chongzhao, due to a recurrence of an old illness from his earlier military career, Taizu died in the Hall of Zhoaren, leaving behind a decree to make Zhong wang as Emperor and his son Han Yue as the crown prince. The last sentence of the decree was the youngest daughter of the Di Family, who had been entrusted with the responsibility of the heaven, was to be crowned the crown Prince's consort.

At the time of Taizu's death, Prince Han Yue was six years old, while Di Ziyuan was only two years old.

How to inherit from the heavens that it was only the greatest honour left to the Di Family by the Taizu.

The Di Family held 100,000 soldiers and horses in the South of Jin and their good deed of willingly giving up the throne was respected by the world. During the first two years of instability after the death of Taizu, the Marquis of Jing'an gave his full support to the Emperor Jianing, which helped Great Jing to survive through the treacherous dynasty turmoil.

As a sign of the imperial family's goodwill towards the Di Family, the Emperor even decreed that the youngest daughter of the Di Family, Di Ziyuan, would be welcomed into the capital as a princess to honoured guest of the royal family.

At that time, the people of the world thought that when the Prince grew up and the two families of Han and Di, the most honourable people of Dajing, formed a friendship, they would be able to continue the good story of the first time when Taizu and Di Shengtian had made peace with the world.

It is that in the sixth years of Jianing, the Marquis of Jing'an privately transferred 80,000 troops from Jinnan without permission, and drove straight to the northern border and wanted to collude with the Eastern State Kingdom to start a war. When the news came, the whole country was shocked. Emperor Jianing quickly revised the state book to quickly reconcile with the Wang of Northern Qin and sent a large army to the border. At the same time, Left Minister Jiang Yu headed to the south of Jin with the imperial decree of granting sin.

What is puzzling is that Jing'an Hou did not plead guilty, and even in front of the emperor's ancestral hall, he squatted himself in front of the people in the city and Left Minister to prove his innocence. To be honest, even if the Jinnan army burst into the north, the people of the whole country did not believe that Jing'an Hou had a heart of disobedience. With the tragic death of the Marquis of Jing'an, the dynasty is in turmoil than ever before, and the prince have all seen the opportunity to move.

At this moment, Jiang Yu, the Minister of the Left, finds a letter in the Marquis of Jing'an's and the King of Eastern are plotting a rebellion, and after announcing this to the whole city, he kills 30 members of the Di Clan and hundreds of the offspring. In the night, blood flowed in the city, and when the people were in fear, Ji Chuan, the defender of Di north city, led the 20,000 troops left behind to surrender to Emperor Jianing and helped the Minister of the Left to quickly take control of the city.

It was too late for the news of the city of Di north to reach the world. The extinction of the Di Clan was a foregone conclusion. Not to mention that, on the same day the 80,000 strong army of the Di Family that had travelled to the north met the North Qin iron cavalry and were pitted and killed at the bottom of Qing Nan Mountain at which point the entire dynasty fell silent.
