Chapter 3 Xixia

Tassel was busy taking Murong Wei's cherry red feather satin's beaded cloak and putting it on for her, and carefully straightened the hood. The tender cherry red hat www.biquge.info was lined with a circle of excellent white fox fur on her forehead, reflecting Murong Wei's bright lips and bright eyes, Su Duhan's eyes were full of a shallow smile, and she warmed the hot chestnuts that had just been peeled in her palm, and warmed the small hand holding the chestnuts in her palm, and then walked towards the imperial garden together.

In the royal garden, the plum and green calyx are in full bloom, and the north wind blows a refreshing cold fragrance on the face. The snow on the hexagonal stone road has been swept away, and it is piled up in the low spring bushes on both sides of the road, but the plum forest is clean and white, like a thick layer of cotton wool.

Su Duhan let go of Murong Wei's little hand and watched her run happily into the plum forest. The snow fluttered, sifting down from the sparse branches, and falling on her cherry-red cloak, the girl's untouched smile was as pure as snow, and as colorful as the brightest sunshine, the corners of Su Duhan's mouth were slightly curved, revealing a smile that did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

The snowman was quickly piled up, one tall and one short stood side by side under a fiery old plum tree, Su Mohan took the rouge in the hand of the tassel, traced it lightly with a brush, dyed a touch of crimson on the lips of the snowman on the right, and looked back at Murong Wei.

The fifteen-year-old boy has grown up, although it is only a cyan fox collar with beige and mixed ink color and sea wave patterns, but it outlines the handsomeness of the graceful demeanor, and the bearing is calm with innate luxury.

As far as the eye can see, the countless flowers in the garden have withered, and the frozen snow on the branches has condensed into ice, as transparent as white jade. In addition to the silver and white, a few goose-yellow plum trees compete for spring, red plum is like fire, green calyx is like ink, dotted with a crystal clear glass world, all are water-like purity.

Murong Wei thought for no reason, "Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums", which is such a little guess.

Countless stumbling from far and near hurriedly, abruptly breaking the silence in the garden, came to the front of the palace of the queen of Chu chief eunuch Xiao Defu, he knelt on the ground, respectfully passed the message of the queen of Chu: "Princess, prince, slave by the queen's mother's order, please go to the Fengluan Hall immediately."

The great eunuch came like the wind, and the noisy footsteps rolled up a flying snow mist on the ground, and the shadowy people became trance-like and messy, like shadow puppets on the stage.

Although Xiao Defu asked An to say hello, and his words were steady and rigorous enough, Murong Wei suddenly didn't know that Su Duhan still saw a trace of pity in those eyes that were more solemn than before.

The second emperor of Xixia Kingdom, Murong Wei's father, Chongming Emperor Murong Qing's throne is not stable, Murong Wei didn't know anything about it back then, but now she knows it very well.

Dating back to a hundred years ago, the days of the princes in the world were too long, the so-called long-term must be divided, and the imperial power was dispersed to such an extent, and the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was only fourteen years old, ascended the throne in the wind and rain, and he was really powerless.

The little emperor originally wanted to slowly weaken the power of the princes and break them one by one, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and he was poisoned to death after only two years of reign.

The little emperor is dead, and there is no restraint between the waiters. The princes with a little capital all enclosed the land and proclaimed themselves kings, and then fought for the expansion of their territory, countless small countries were annexed, and new heroes were born.

At that time, Murong Wei's grandfather Chu Tianshu was just a county guard of an unknown county, and his power became stronger and stronger in these battles again and again, and finally he established himself as the king and became the lord of a country. With his grandfather's Heavenly Sword and his grandmother's chest, the two of them have created this great cause.

In order to thank his grandmother, his grandfather took the Xia in his grandmother's name as the name of the country, founded the Xixia Kingdom, and became the first emperor of Xixia.

Xixia gradually rose to become one of the few remaining powers. Grandpa and grandmother have a deep relationship, after becoming the emperor, they have not accepted any concubines, when the world sighs that Chu Tianshu is deeply affectionate, they will also sigh deeply, poor grandfather has no children under his knees, only two daughters, guessing that after a hundred years, I don't know who the throne will fall into.

The eldest daughter, Chu Zhaohui, is Murong Wei's aunt, the first fierce general under her grandfather, Su Rui, who was the official of the military department. The second daughter, Chu Yaoguang, married Murong Qing, who was the head of the household at the time, and the two princess mansions were built next to each other, sitting in the north and facing south, occupying the most important position on Qinglong Street, and the palace was only separated by a wall.

For as long as Murong Wei can remember, she has never called her grandparents and grandmothers, but has always called her grandfather and grandmother, and her grandfather often said proudly, "I want the world to see that the daughters of the Chu family are not inferior to men, and these two daughters are raised by me as sons, and these children are my own grandchildren and granddaughters, regardless of each other." ”

Grandpa did not let the world's speculation continue for long, and once he did not listen to dissuasion, an enemy arrow soaked in poison, and everything was hastily put on the agenda.

My grandfather was seriously injured and returned to China, and he was ill for more than a month. The day before his death, a testament passed the throne to his second son-in-law Murong Qing, and the dynasty was in an uproar.

In terms of seniority, connections, and influence in the court, compared to Su Rui, Murong Qing is still thin. Yuan Fei, a general of Su Rui's subordinates, was the first to disagree, and provoked Murong Qing in public in the main hall, wanting to add to Su Rui's imperial robe, Su Rui couldn't stop drinking, and personally beheaded him under the sword.

Su Rui was the first to bow down to Murong Qing, and strongly supported Murong Qing to ascend the throne with the military power he held, which made him the second emperor of Xixia Kingdom.

These things became clearer and clearer in Su Duhan's later gnashing of teeth, Su Duhan hid under the throne of the main hall and saw everything, he saw his father one step away from the throne, and then turned his hopes into disappointment.

After the death of his grandfather, his father issued the first holy decree: respect his grandmother as the queen mother, live in Cining Palace, cut the title of aunt and mother princess, and crown his mother as the queen and take charge of the six palaces;

Eight-year-old Su Duhan saw his uncle and aunt kneel down to thank his parents for the first time, and it was then that some seeds of hatred sprouted.

After seven years, fifteen-year-old Su Duhan maintained the image of a good son in a green shirt and fox in front of her, who only talked about the breeze and the moon, and secretly had already been involved in the government. The eight hundred miles of the imperial court had arrived today, and he had received vague information last night, that the battle had been far more tragic than he had imagined, and that he had known of the victory but was more worried about his father than he had ever imagined, so that he had such a keen insight that he knew the truth at once from the solemn compassion of the eunuch.
