Ma Zilong was put on the throne by his mother and died in a plot of power after only two years on the throne. Before dying, he entrusted his son to Wang Yan with the intention of keeping him away from the situation and politics of the dynasty. If you stay in the royal city, you will definitely be like yourself, becoming a puppet of your mother or someone else at a young age. When Empress Wang learned that Wang Yan had taken the crown prince away, she sent several Yulin troops to arrest him, and then sent people to track all the way to Jiangnan to infiltrate the Gu Mansion, fortunately, with the protection of the Wang family's dark guards.
Sandpipers compete with each other, and fishermen gain. With only one arrow, Ma Zizhuang buried everything that Empress Wang had painstakingly managed, not only revenge for forcing her mother to die and slaughtering the Xie clan, but also successfully ascending to the throne. Ma Zilong's failure lies in the benevolence of the woman, and it was only when empress dowager Wang promised Xie Guifei not to kill her son that she had this fate.
In order not to fall to the throne, Empress Wang desperately searched for the crown prince Ma Jing, who was the only one who could threaten the throne, so why did Ma Zizhuang not care at all? That's because mourning is greater than heart death, and everything Ma Zizhuang does is for Wang Yan, which is very similar to the second prince Ma Zilu, who not only knows how to cultivate obscurity, but also a deeply affectionate kind.
When the old emperor Ma Yao was dying, he once asked Ma Zizhuang, he said that he did not want the throne, and he only liked Wang Yi, so the emperor hated to pass the throne to Ma Zilong. Perhaps he already had the intention of seizing the throne to avenge at that time, but the Xie family had just been defeated, and there was no patron in the DPRK, if he rushed to sit on the throne at this time, he was bound to be used as a living target by the crown prince, the empress dowager, Wang Lin and others, giving up the throne, asking himself to guard the imperial tomb, away from the sight of empress Dowager Wang's mother and son, but it was advantageous, and it proved that Taoguang was right to raise obscurity.
Ma Zizhuang really had no intention of taking the throne, and the reason why he was fighting for it was only to take revenge on Empress Wang. Killing her son and taking away the power she was proud of was revenge for killing her mother. There is also the idea that for Wang Yan, borrow the hands of Empress Wang and others to get rid of Xiao Qi, so that he thinks that he can get Wang Qi, so how can a person who has no heart for the throne put Prince Ma Jing in his heart.
There was another reason why Ma Zizhuang did not kill Ma Jing, that is, his cousin Xie Wanru, Ma Jing was Xie Wanru's child, he could take revenge thanks to Xie Wanru's help, when he sent Grandma Zheng to assassinate Prince Ma Jing, he only made him cry day and night, and did not take his life.
