Dongfang Yu, the youngest and most promising general of Chu State, was executed by the emperor for greedy ink armaments, and his family was also implicated, and the Great Zhou Wai Emperor heard that Dongfang Yu was dead, and hurriedly issued a decree to Feng Xiang, Jiangxia, Xiangyang, Yidu, Jingzhao, and Chenliu Six Counties formed a coalition to crusade against the rebellious Chu State. Yun Tian, the son of the Jiang family of Chu State, was ordered to be in danger, was appointed as a general, and commanded the army to resist the enemy, but he was repeatedly defeated on the front line, and the bad war on the front line made Yang Suxuan's mood worse and worse.

Emperor Yang Suxuan couldn't help but think of the conversation with the Jiang family's wife at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, although my son Yuntian is very strategic in his chest, he has not been in actual combat, and he is now in danger, and I am afraid that it will be a national shame. Mrs. Jiang admonished.

However, Yang Suxuan insisted: "In the past, when Jiang Gong was alive, there were many debates with Yuntian, Yuntian can win, the world is said to be blue and better than blue, even Dongfang Yu praised Jiang Yuntian many times and said, although Yuntian is younger than me, but I have a strategy in my chest, I Dongfang Yu is not as good as what if, I think Yuntian should be the pillar of my Chu State, I have made up my mind, don't worry about the old lady." ”

The old lady finally said helplessly: "If Your Majesty insists that my son be the commander, if the army is defeated in the future, I implore Your Majesty to kill my son alone, and don't implicate the old man's family." ”

Yang Suxuan nodded, and the old lady immediately retreated.

"This is Nanyang, the capital of Chu State. Outside the gate of the Nanyang Governor's Office, a delicately decorated carriage stopped, and the groom said to the nobles in the carriage.

"Who?" asked the soldier defending the city.

"One of the thirteen major shareholders of the Xiapi Chamber of Commerce, Mo Xingzhu, the head of the Mo family, came to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Chu State. The deep and powerful voice of a middle-aged man in the carriage came.

"It turned out to be Mr. Mo, please come in, Your Majesty has been waiting in the hall for a long time. The soldier said respectfully.

When the carriage passed, the curtain of the carriage was blown by the wind, and the face of a wonderful person inside attracted the attention of the soldiers, and when the carriage drove into the city, the soldiers murmured: "Compared to the woman just now, who is the concubine of His Majesty's Xinna, Mo Ruoyan." ”

------------

The next day, Dao Sheng and others received news that His Majesty the Emperor was going to take Xinna's favorite concubine to the mountains to play, and summoned Dao Sheng and others to accompany him to preach for the emperor and the concubine.

When she came to the mountain, seeing that Her Majesty had not yet arrived, Xiao Meng'er was curious: "How beautiful that concubine is, Your Majesty has to bring her when you hear the sermon." ”

The starry sky on the side is also looking forward to it, wanting to see what the woman who can make Yang Suxuan, who is known as Mingjun, obsessed, look like.

Dao Sheng smiled and said, "It's not just the concubine who is married, then the property of the Xiapi Chamber of Commerce is what His Majesty values." ”

"What is the Xiapi Chamber of Commerce?" Xiao Meng'er said confusedly.

"Since Xuzhou Chen Jiagongzi Song committed rebellion to establish the Chen State, Qingxu Erzhou will not be peaceful, although Dong Ying will sweep away Chen Song's power in Xuzhou and occupy Xiapi County, but the world has become more and more turbulent over the years, Dong Ying has self-respect, Xiapi is too far away from Dong Ying's jurisdictional center, Dong Ying fortunately sold Xiapi County to a group of wealthy businessmen, these rich businessmen formed the Xiapi County Autonomous City-State and Xiapi Chamber of Commerce, and in a short period of time they have become the richest group of people in the world. Xingkong replied first, after all, he was originally from Xuzhou, and then fled to Qingzhou after the war in Xuzhou, and it didn't take long for Qingzhou to be in war again, so he fled to Hongnong County, and wanted to inherit his uncle's family property, but was framed by his cousin, so he had to follow Daosheng to travel around the world, so he still knows a lot about Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

"Chen Family's Gongzi Song, Chen Song, this name is so familiar, isn't this the name of someone I've heard in the Phantom World?" Xiao Meng'er muttered to herself.

While everyone was chatting, the emperor's luan had arrived, and seeing that Daosheng and the others had been waiting for a long time, the emperor smiled and apologized: "The widow is late, Mr. forgive the sin." ”

Dao Sheng saluted and said, "The grass people don't dare. ”

I saw that the emperor was wearing a gorgeous robe and a twelve-comb crown on his head, not as refreshing as the hunting day, I thought it was the reason for the noble concubine next to him.

The noble concubine walked with the emperor, followed by a middle-aged man with an easy-going face, flanked by many maids and eunuchs.

The starry sky on the side saw Mo Ruoyan's appearance and couldn't help but praise in his heart: When I saw this woman today, I knew that there were really fairies in the world.

I saw that the concubine had a beautiful face, dressed in rose-colored palace clothes, with a delicate figure under the simple pattern, the willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world, a pair of bright big eyes exuded a faint and dim water light, and her weak body seemed to be blown away by the valley wind in the mountains at any time.

"What does the gentleman think of the widow's new concubine?" the emperor asked suddenly.

Dao Sheng glanced at Mo Ruoyan, who was chuckling lightly, and said respectfully to the emperor: "The flower butterfly is originally a worm chrysalis, and the hundred herbs are pitiful. ”

Mo Ruoyan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and thought that Dao Sheng was praising his beauty and pitying himself, so he twisted his lips and chuckled a little louder.

The emperor and Mo Xingzhu understood, Mo Xingzhu's face was gloomy, but he didn't have a seizure, the emperor didn't get angry because of this, just smiled and said, "Sir, it's prejudiced." ”

Xiao Meng'er whispered to Qian behind her, "Sister Qian, what does the teacher mean by this?"

Qian explained in a low voice: "The flower butterfly refers to the beautiful appearance of the concubine, and the pupa refers to the dirty heart of the concubine, which means that under the beautiful appearance of the concubine is the dirtiness of the heart, but the world can only see her appearance, blindly surrounding her and making people lament, the pity here is not pity for the concubine, but pity for those who are bewitched by the concubine." ”

"Oh, that's right. Li Xingmeng suddenly realized.

After a day of playing, the emperor returned to the court with the concubine, and Dao Sheng and others also returned to the reception house one after another.

------------

Night fell, and Li Xingmeng, who had fallen into a deep sleep, came to the phantom world again.

I saw that this time I came to Luoyang City.

For the homeless people in Luoyang who are struggling to survive in the cold and hunger, today is a rare good day, at least they can continue to live today without worrying about starvation. Because His Majesty the Great Zhou Ling Emperor held a porridge banquet for the people of Luoyang for the first time in order to receive the beautiful princess of the fox clan and to reflect his warmth.

At the stall of the Tongren Inn, a group of short-clothed gangs and rangers drank tea and discussed today's grand occasion.

"Hey, shopkeeper, another bowl of tea. A middle-aged uncle with an obese figure and a short-sleeved tight shirt shouted.

"Department of fat boy, I don't usually see you like to drink tea so much, is it brain pumping today? A thin man with a pockmarked face at the other table teased.

", you numb dog, if it weren't for the fact that you were looking at that fox girl today, you dare to say that, I would have killed you. The uncle, who was called a fat boy, slapped the table and shouted.

"That's how the queen's ceremony was back then, is this fox girl really so beautiful?" the shopkeeper put a bowl of coarse tea on the table of the fat boy, and then said casually.

"Cut, the queen's ceremony is a bird, Lao Tzu was also fortunate to come into contact with the queen's mother, a group of cowards. The fat boy was a little proud when he said this. However, the people around him let out a disdainful laugh and did not believe the words of the fat boy.

"The fat boy is starting to brag again, this skin is thicker than his fat. The dog scoffed.

"You" was just about to refute, but there was a sound of tapping and tapping footsteps in the distance, and I saw a group of red-clothed soldiers huddling a carriage, and there was a descendant on horseback next to the carriage. The red-clothed soldiers were all burly and tall walking by, with scarves for royal ceremonies on their heads, which turned out to be served by palace guards.

"It's actually Wang Chang's attendant, His Majesty the Emperor really loves this fox girl. "The shopkeeper also has some understanding of the situation in the imperial court.

It didn't take long for the convoy to cross the streets and head straight for the court. However, the tea customers in the stall were a little dissatisfied, after all, they didn't see the woman who made the emperor obsessed, all they saw was a carriage, and they didn't even know if there was anyone inside, whether it was a man or a woman.
