As winter progresses, the weather in the north is even harsher, with the north wind howling all day long, the sky is dark and obscure, and the snow is heavy, freezing and freezing.

If it doesn't snow, the sky will be cold and overcast, and pedestrians will be swept stiffened, making it impossible to leave the house.

The heavens and the earth are bleak, wrapped in the cold and frozen, everything is withered, and the vitality is not visible.

The weather is bad, the disasters and sufferings of the world are more serious, the Daqing Dynasty, the number of qi is weak, and the image of the troubled times has appeared.

Emperor Zhao Jie of Qing was mediocre, since ascending to the great treasure, arrogant and lascivious, greedy for pleasure, building a large number of buildings for many years, building temples and palaces, collecting the world's beauties and treasures to be fun, and the treasury was exhausted;

cronies and traitors, appointing traitors to be in charge, and mutilating loyal and good;

The implementation of the system of selling official positions, the chaotic administration of officials, coupled with the indulgence of corrupt officials and the lawlessness of officials, wantonly plundered the government and the opposition, and the government became increasingly corrupt.

Traitors seize power and sit high in the court.

Above the court, there are Zhao An, the sixth prince of the traitorous king, Cai Qiong, the first lieutenant, and Qin Hui, the first prince, two traitors, and there are Gao Qiu, the eunuch chief of the close ministers favored by Emperor Zhao Jie, who is complicit.

Traitorous kings, traitorous ministers, and traitorous eunuchs are accommodating from top to bottom, colluding with each other, and forming parties for personal gain.

Once the ministers of civil and military affairs were all close to their friends and held power, and the black and white factions in the world were reversed and chaotic.

Internally, he confused Emperor Yueqing, rejected dissidents even more, and killed loyal ministers and good generals for no reason, which made the people in the court panic.

And outside the court, they colluded with the princes to be strong, secretly came to each other, and reported to each other.

Outside the country, they secretly communicate with the strong enemies of various countries and sell the country to seek glory.

In addition, the imperial court levied and extorted money on the people of the world, and the endless taxation and forced labor made the people complain.

At the same time, disasters from all directions, floods, droughts, floods, locust plagues, and plagues have made the people even more miserable, and the people's grievances are boiling.

Everywhere you go, you can see famine refugees, unclothed, hungry and sleeping, lying on their stomachs in the icy wilderness.

'There are frozen bones on the road, and the wine and meat of Zhumen stink', so that thieves in the world swarm and gather people to make chaos; the princes are centrifuged and support their own troops; and the heroes stand in a forest and compete with each other.

A Daqing dynasty saw that the world was detached, full of devastation, falling apart, and crumbling.

And her surroundings are Rongdi and Mizang in the west, Tatar and Wumeng in the north, and across the sea in the east, there are the Wa kingdoms with the ambition of the wolf, and the south of the barbarian 100,000 mountains in the southern barbarians, Xingluo and other countries......

It's really a ghost in their hearts, just waiting for the Daqing Dynasty building to fall, the wind and rain are shaking, they all want to take advantage of the void to enter, take advantage of the fire to loot, and have already had the intention of encroaching on her.

The Daqing Dynasty was in trouble at home and abroad, terminally ill, and lacked skills to return to the sky, while Emperor Zhao Jie's eyes were blind, and he did not see his own grave, and the country was overturned.

Seeing that there is only an empty shell left in the Daqing Dynasty, the collapse of the country is only in the mite.

It is in the chaos of the last days of this dynasty that in Bianjing, the capital of Daqing Kingdom, the snow is several feet deep, reaching the knees, making it difficult to walk.

In this icy and snowy land, the city is mixed, the law and order are chaotic, the displaced people are flocking, displaced, begging on the streets, sleeping along the streets, diseases are worried, and the cold and starvation to death can be seen everywhere at any time.

The scene of a miserable and miserable world full of sorrow and sorrow is unbearable to hear, and it is really a country without a country.

Especially in the remote corner of the north of the capital, there is a prime minister's mansion that looks inconspicuous, simple and simple, like an ordinary short dwelling.

This is the residence of the prime minister Kou Zhong, the prime minister Kou Zhong is honest and upright, strong, full of economic knowledge, and is indeed a talent for governing the world.

However, he has a vacant position above the court, is excluded, and is not in real power.

The traitorous king, traitorous ministers, and traitorous eunuchs not only set the prime minister Kou Zhong in the air, but there was nothing to do, that is, Emperor Qing Zhao Jie was excluded from the government and politics, and he could only have fun all day long.

Prime Minister Kou Zhong is always walking on thin ice in this court, always handing over his life, and performing his duties in the court, which is no better than a despicable pig and dog.

All this is only because he is upright, unwilling to be a traitor, and is in the same stream, and it is natural for him to be alone and difficult to deal with every day.

On the evening of November 21, the seventh winter of Daqing Wan'an.

But tonight is different from the usual cold and sad Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is also happy, joyful, and auspicious.

There is no other reason, just because the prime minister's wife gave birth and gave birth to a son.

Prime Minister Kou Zhong is over fifty years old, and he only got this son when he came late, so how he doesn't like it.

Although the prime minister's house is simple and poor, it is still inevitable to have a festive time, and the only few servants in the house are also very happy, and it is more lively than the New Year's Festival.

"Madam, it's really hard for you, fortunately the mother and son are safe, I Kou Zhong has a son in his old age, how can I be blessed?" Prime Minister Kou Zhong was relieved and happy like a child.

"Confucius said in the first place, 'There are three unfilial ones, and no queen is great', haha, hehe, I Kou Zhong will eventually have an heir, and there will be a successor, it's really pitiful!"

"Xianggong, the child was finally born, and I am satisfied to be able to give birth to this son for you, and I am blind to death. ”

The lady gasped a few times, and her whole body looked weak and miserable after childbirth, and lamented: "Alas! It's a pity that in troubled times, everyone is in danger, and the day is not safe, and the blessings and disasters are unpredictable!"

"Madam, today is the day of great joy in giving birth to a son, how can you say that there is death, chaos, danger, and disaster...... Unlucky words!"

Prime Minister Kou Zhong was full of longing, and explained: "All will be all right, behold, we have a son, and we should be satisfied." ”

"Rush Ming'er to resign from the court, leave this dirty and turbid world, the land of right and wrong, go back to our Koujiazhuang, go to our mountains and forests, and live a quiet life. ”

"I avoided this disaster, just waited for my son to grow up in the future, rushed to change the dynasty, the world was peaceful, and then came back to make a fortune and wealth, or a plain and stable life. ”

"Alas, it would have been right for the Xianggong to think so earlier, today's saints are mediocre and lewd, traitors are in charge, the court situation is chaotic, right and wrong are not distinguished, black and white are reversed, the country has been in trouble for many years, the world is in chaos, the righteous army is full of heroes, the smoke is everywhere, the soldiers are in chaos, and the people have no way to live. ”

Madame sighed, full of worry: "Daqing Zhao clan has fallen, we should have stayed away from this right and wrong, to avoid this disaster, Xianggong now wants to retire is only afraid that it is too late." ”

"What Madame said is that I am only blamed for being too upright, with the world in mind, 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world', and the old saying that 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', I have always been unable to bear to abandon the people of Li, the temple and the society, and let go, and spend time in this waste, but it will affect my body and push myself into the boundless abyss," Kou Zhong said worriedly.

"Now there are many grievances and resentments with traitorous kings, traitors, and traitors, but I am afraid that it will be really difficult to exonerate. Alas, the misfortune of the country is a great sorrow!"

"If you come, you will be safe, but you will be worthy of your heart in everything, the gods on the top, and Li Shu on the bottom, don't think so much about the princess. ”

Mrs. Xianhui relieved Kou Zhong: "Look, our son is healthy and ruddy, full of heaven, and his face is blessed and immortal, not like a person with a short and hard life, he always thinks that he will have some success in the future, and his son will be reborn, so it is better to give him a good name." ”

"Ahh......h

Kou Zhong thought for a while, groaned for a while, and finally said indignantly: "Alas, by the way, let's name my son Xingtian, Xingtian, Xingtian, Xingtian, Xingtian resents the injustice of the world, and God is unfair!"

"Xingtian? This name seems to be inappropriate, Xianggong, so many good names are available, why do you have to name your son Xingtian, the one who punishes the heavens, punishes the heavens, punishes the adulterous way, and gives birth to Li Shu in peace. ”

Madame was very displeased, and hurriedly objected: "This name is too domineering and heavy, I'm afraid that our son can't afford it, so do you expect him to fight against the Mandate of Heaven at such a young age?"

"Madame is very worried, there is something wrong, but at this moment, this name comes to mind at this moment, and I can't help but blurt it out," Kou Zhong shook his head and shook his head, looking like a master.

"How can a child be so hard-hearted, and can disobey the heavens? should be carved an iron head, a copper hammer and other names that should be called, let me think about it, what should I call a name that is not conventional, but also elegant and pleasant?"

Here Kou Zhong and his wife were naming their newborn son, and they were talking about it, when suddenly, people outside the Prime Minister's Mansion neighed on their horses, and swords and halberds rang loudly, and they were noisy.

In an instant, a team of people and horses looked like wolves, vicious, arrogant and arrogant, and went straight to the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing Kou Zhong, he didn't speak, and everyone was arrogant and imposing.

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, Kou Zhong naturally recognized that this was the head of the eunuch of the palace who received the prison officials of the criminal department and came to the prime minister's mansion full-time to announce the decree in court.

He knew that this group of people was not coming right, it was either a blessing or a curse, and a catastrophe was coming, but it was unavoidable, so he could only meet it with a hard head.

Sure enough, I saw that the eunuch leader had a snobbish and disgusted face, had no room for it, and looked at himself very much, and put aside the filthy and domineering posture, with a shrill voice and an ugly voice like a duck, and sang loudly: "Prime Minister Kou Zhong takes the order!"

"Kou Zhong is the minister!" Kou Zhong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, respectfully greeting.

Kou Zhongcheng was terrified, his heart was frightened, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he only heard the eunuch pretending to be in his ears, and read out loudly:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said:"
