Chapter 75.2: Chapter 75.2 - An Wangfei’s Intentions [1]
Chapter 75 . 2 An Wangfei’s Intentions [1]
Empress Liu could be said to be a virtuous and shrewd woman .
On the matter of naming a Taizi, she wavered . After all, First Wangzi was a Di son and the eldest .
Other women would have certainly killed First Wangzi while her husband was in power . But Née Liu did not do so and actually treated her husband’s deceased wife’s son well . Even when the Emperor was discussing naming a Taizi, she prevented her family from interfering .
Finally, the Emperor named Née Liu’s eldest son as Taizi . She was afraid that First Wangzi would be upset, so she took her Taizi son and swore an oath in front of First Wangzi to never harm his big brother .
So when Xuanwu Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately bestowed the title “Ning Wang” to his older brother .
Ning Wang and Née Liu had a very good relationship . They were as close as biological mother and son .

Actually, this Liu Empress Dowager was Zi You’s Aunt Née Liu’s distant cousin . Née Liu’s father, Liu Ruiyuan, was a second-rank senior minister . He was the Empress Dowager’s cousin’s son, from a different branch of the family .
There was another Wei Wang, the Emperor’s third brother . Wei Wang’s mother was the previous Emperor’s favored Liang Fei .
This Wei Wang was one of the powerful contenders of the throne then . If not for Empress Dowager Liu and her father Duke Anguo obtaining the previous emperor’s trust and respect, the throne would not be the current Emperor’s .

To make a metaphor: the previous Emperor was like Li Shimin, Empress Dowager Liu was like Empress Changsun, and Liang Fei was like Li Ke’s mother: Yang Fei [all historical figures and references] .
The last to mention was the Emperor’s younger brother: An Wang .
An Wang, Shangguan Yixuan, was the previous Emperor’s sixth son . He was thirty-four years old and the current Empress Dowager’s most beloved son .
