Chapter 1: The Young Son of Heaven
If you want to talk about the majestic and glorious palaces in the capital of the Great Qianguo, the magnificent and magnificent is of course not the Son of Heaven Hall located in the center of the capital, but the palace located in the west of the capital, which was overcrowded with merchants and merchants in the old days, and was not prosperous.

Since the beginning of the establishment of this palace, Qinglong Avenue was directly abandoned, the people of the capital can only take a detour, the prosperous Qinglong Avenue has since been left cold, the palace presses Qinglong Avenue, the name is called "Golden Scale Palace", indicating that it will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm, it is a palace where Hou Lu is the champion who ranks first among the princes of the seventy-two roads of the Great Qianguo usually lives.
Champion Hou Zheng is not confused, but his cultivation has already reached the eighteenth level of the acquired martial realm, and he is only one step away from the innate martial realm of "immortal empowerment, thoughts and horizontals", which is extremely rare in the sixteen countries in the east, which can be described as a heavenly asset.
And the meaning behind that palace is also in line with a sentence that is widely sung in the streets of the market these days, "There is no son of heaven in the Great Qianguo, only two emperors", when today's cowardice and stupidity are even better than the first emperor, the champion Marquis actually allowed to make a palace in the imperial city; in order to be able to garrison the imperial city, Izumo country forcibly married a woman to lure a wolf into the house, and this is also suffered, such as some mediocre decisions.
The first emperor of the Great Qianguo died two months ago, and at this time, the thousand-year-old demons in Heluo, Sanjian and other places made waves for ten miles, and the people were displaced and complained, and the other countries such as Izumo and Shangyuan were eyeing and encroaching on the whale swallowing, as the kingdom of the sixteen countries with a long history and a thousand-year-old inheritance, many people think that the gas of the generation of the Great Qianguo is afraid that it is exhausted.
It was early winter, and the sky was gray.
Today, the first restaurant in the capital, known as the "place of joy", is still full of nobles, and under a closer look, they are all the children of the nobles in the capital, all of them are freshly dressed and angry, and their identities are prominent.
In such a lively scene, there is a seat in the corner of the restaurant near the window but it seems to be very cold, there is a young man with eyebrows in a white robe on the table, drunk like mud lying on the table, there are a lot of cups of tendon wine on the table, take a closer look, ho, it is actually a bamboo leaf green made from Fenjiu as the base, plus more than ten kinds of rare medicinal materials after 60 years of aging.
Obviously, the identity of the teenager is not ordinary, but people passing by can see the long-lasting sadness on the face of the teenager, not only today, the teenager was also drunk here two days ago, in everyone's opinion, this pine crane tower is a place of joy, the boy is like this, it is really a little unlucky.
No, after a few sons and brothers in brocade clothes saw it from a distance, they frowned and looked over, took a closer look, obediently, the person headed by him was actually the fifth of the eight princes of the national capital, the prince of Julu Houfu, Xie Congnan, so that the identities of the sons and brothers next to him would not be far behind.
"I've bumped into this guy for three days in a row, and if you're bad enough, get up for the master!"
As soon as the words fell, Xie Congnan kicked away the chair where the young man was sitting, only to hear a "bang", the young man fell to the ground in response, opened his eyes in a daze, and before he could see who it was, his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep on the ground again.
The people around were stunned, and turned their eyes to Xie Congnan, who didn't know him here, Xie Congnan only felt that his face was hot, and he drank at the second child in the restaurant: "Bring water!"
Xiao Er was busy answering the call, and after a while, he sat down on a basin of water and trotted over, and the young man who crossed the water from the south end splashed on the ground without saying a word!
The young man who was splashed with water suddenly shuddered, and the whole person "soared" and woke up.
Xie Congnan looked at the young man, his face was full of pride, and he sneered: "Stinky boy, do you know who I am?"
The white-robed young man ignored him, leaned against the corner of the wall decadently, picked up a wine bottle beside him and drank it again, not caring at all about Xie Congnan in front of him, which made the latter's face even more dull.
Xie Congnan was so angry that he almost didn't go up, how could he ever meet such an arrogant person in front of him?
Even Lu Ziqing, the son of the Champion Hou Mansion, is not convenient in front of him, right?
Just when he was about to have a seizure, a group of people suddenly broke into the door, take a closer look, ho, this black and bright heavy armor, this iron-blooded momentum, this resolute face, who else is there besides the iron armor guard of the royal family of the Great Qianguo?
And the person who is the leader is the righteous daughter of the emperor who was accepted by the people, heroic and sassy, and the woman does not let the princess Zhuang Ya.
Zhuang Ya walked straight to the white-robed young man, looking at the young man who looked like a mud dog, and for some reason, his eyes turned red.
"Zhuang Xun! You get up for me! Have you forgotten what your father commanded? ! Get up!"
Abruptly, Zhuang Ya shouted at the young man, faintly sobbing.
Zhuang Xun?
Why is the name so familiar?
Where have you heard of it?
The next moment, everyone in the restaurant reacted in an instant, their eyes widened, and they looked at the young man and trembled, mother, isn't this the name of His Majesty today?!
"That...... Your Royal Highness, you can't admit that you are mistaken, do ......you? Is it Your Majesty?" Xie Congnan's eyes widened, although his father no longer cared about the royal family of the Great Qianguo, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and after all, no one could catch the handle.
"Will there be a mistake?" Zhuang Ya looked at Xie Congnan and asked coldly.
Xie Congnan immediately laughed, and then knelt in front of the white-robed young man with a "plop", kowtowing vigorously, that face, how much regret and regret, how much fear and fear.
The rest of the sons and brothers who were with him also knelt down and kowtowed vigorously, like a grandson.
Although everyone knows that Da Qianguo is a young man today, after all, the latter has only been on the throne for less than two months, and Xie Congnan has only seen it from a distance, and most importantly, who would have thought that the dignified son of heaven would appear in the Songhe Restaurant? and he was still very drunk.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......" Xie Congnan also felt that it was not a problem to kneel like this, so he shouted softly.
At this time, Zhuang Xun, who was leaning against the wall, opened his eyes slightly, saw dozens of figures kneeling in the restaurant, and then saw his sister standing next to him motionless and looking at him, he was sober and sober, and waved his hand with a wry smile: "It's all flat." ”
The people in the restaurant slowly stood up at this time.
Of course, Zhuang Ya naturally won't forget Xie Congnan's stubble, for some princes of the kingdom, she can't wait to kill them all!
Zhuang Ya turned her head and looked at Xie Congnan coldly: "Xie Congnan, are you guilty?"
Xie Congnan was stunned when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, in his mind, Zhuang Ya had to make inches, he had done all the surface work, Zhuang Ya was still like this, obviously he wanted to borrow him to make some articles, and sneered in his heart, my surname is Xie, your surname is Zhuang, what's the difference?
"I don't know. Xie Congnan replied with a little doubt.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly dropped to the extreme, and Zhuang Ya's whole person was gloomy, Xie Congnan didn't seem to take the royal family in his eyes, but Zhuang Xun on the side was expressionless.
There was silence in the restaurant, Xie Congnan was still full of doubts, and at this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "He really doesn't know, and the so-called ignorant is not guilty, isn't it?"
When everyone heard the prestige, they saw a black-robed young man walking in, his eyes were like stars, handsome and extraordinary, and he was Lu Ziqing, the son of the Champion Hou Mansion!
"Yes, we didn't know that His Majesty would be here, do you say yes?"
"yes, how dare you do this if you know?"
"Those who don't know are not guilty, should they be killed?"
As soon as the black-robed young man walked in, his momentum suddenly fell on his side, making Zhuang Yaqiao's brows frown slightly.
"Wechen has seen Your Majesty. The black-robed young man bowed to Zhuang Qiu with a gentle smile, and anyone could see that casualness.
Zhuang Xun slowly stood up from the ground with the support of his ministers, nodded and smiled: "Naturally, those who don't know are not guilty, okay, let's go back to the palace." ”
Saying that, Zhuang Xun walked to the door, and Zhuang Ya and others followed.
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there's one thing I forgot to tell you. Lu Ziqing turned around with a smile in his eyes.
Zhuang Xun's face was expressionless, he could see that Lu Ziqing was deliberately forgetting, just to snub himself, took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Lu Qing fixedly: "What's the matter?"
Lu Ziqing said with a smile: "My father-in-law has been unwell recently, and I don't want to go to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony in three days, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?"
As soon as the question came out, there was silence all around, everyone present held their breath, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into the ice cellar, the great Qianguo was a heavy gift, not to mention the year-end sacrifice such a big gift, no one expected that Lu Ziqing would make such an impudent request.
Zhuang Ya pulled Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun's eyes widened, his anger swelled, his blood-red eyes stared at Lu Qing for a long time, for a long time, his clenched fist shook heavily on the door valve on the side, and after a muffled sound of "bang", a hoarse trill burst out from his chest: "Okay!"
Soon, the news that the Son of Heaven was drunk in Songhe Tower spread again.
The back garden of the palace.
"The jade toad has reacted, it seems that the news is correct, there are indeed two big demons under the Songhe Tower, and the strength of each one is estimated to be lower than the one raised by our royal family, at least there are seventeen levels of the acquired martial arts realm, which should be raised by Lu Ziqing in captivity. Zhuang Xun played with a piece of blood-colored jade toad on his neck, and said to Zhuang Ya on the side with a little thought.
Zhuang Ya nodded slightly, frowning and thinking hard, she had received the news earlier, and thought it was nonsense, but now it seems to be true, there is a big demon in the imperial city, so blatant, it seems that the champion Hou Mou is about to rebel.
"Okay, you go and rest first, your body is already weak, and you still drink so much wine. Zhuang Ya didn't think about the Songhe Tower, looked at Zhuang Xun with a distressed face, and immediately took a deep breath, with a solemn expression, and strode out of the back garden.
Zhuang Xun looked at Zhuang Ya's departing back from afar, his eyes gradually dimmed, and this was all he could do.
In fact, Zhuang Ya has always disapproved of Zhuang Xun doing this, but the latter is stubborn, and she also knows that Zhuang Xun has always felt guilty in her heart and always wants to share it for herself, so she agreed.
"Even if I can cultivate now, but the national chaos is imminent, is there still time for me to redeem it?" Zhuang Xun looked up at the sky, sighed lightly, his expression was gloomy, his clenched fists were weakly released, he couldn't cultivate, in front of Zhuang Ya, he had been restraining himself not to be decadent, because the former had been working hard, so he had also been forcing himself not to give up, and not giving up represented an opportunity.
After all, Zhuang Xun didn't dare to imagine that he would become the lord of the fallen country, and he didn't dare to imagine that the thousand-year-old foundation of Daqian would be destroyed in his hands like this.
It wasn't until a month before the death of the first emperor of the Great Qianguo, that is, Zhuang Xun's father, that the reason why the royal family of the Great Qianguo could not cultivate for four generations in a row was found.
The acquired martial realm is divided into the Origin Realm and the Extreme Element Realm, and each realm is divided into nine levels, that is, the eighteen layers of the acquired martial realm.
And behind this matter, Izumo Province and Shangyuan Kingdom are accomplices, the conspiracy of the champion Hou Lu clan for several generations, but the first emperor Zhuang Qiu still regarded Lu Wei as a brother, and it was not until the end that the latter's wolf heart and dog lungs were discovered, but it was too late.
Four generations of the Great Qianguo, the disputes are more prevalent, and now look at it, there are three forces behind everything to stir up the situation, and because of this, the strength of the royal family of the Great Qianguo has plummeted, the departure of the guest Qing, the assassination of the assassination, the first emperor Zhuang Qiu was in love, only married the queen of the Han family, the latter died five years ago, so that the emperor exhausted the national strength to check, and the end found out that it was the mantis arm as a car worm to shake the tree, and finally died, leaving a mess for the prince Zhuang Xun.
In the silent back garden of the palace, there was no one around, Zhuang Xun was lying on the lawn, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing was even, and the gentle winter sun shone on him through the vines, as if caring for his favorite baby.
In fact, Zhuang Xun is only seventeen, which is originally an age of fantasy, but he has to bear such a heavy burden.
At this time, Li Nanhe, the third-generation head of the royal family of the Great Qianguo, walked in, saw Zhuang Xun lying on the lawn, shook his head and sighed lightly, and walked over slowly.
As an old housekeeper of the royal family, Li Nanhe has grasped the hearts of two generations of kings, how could he not know what Zhuang Xun is worried about now, but he has more important things to tell now.
"Your Majesty. Li Nanhe bowed down and shouted softly.
After a while, Zhuang Xun opened his eyes slightly: "What's the matter?"
Li Nanhe's head lowered, and he said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Zenyun and the envoy of Izumo Kingdom stayed in the capital yesterday, and you will be married to Your Majesty in half a month." ”
Zhuang Xun nodded slightly and asked, "Jiazai, is my big wedding only once?"
Li Nanhe nodded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty can have seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, but this big wedding is only once." ”
Zhuang Xun sighed lightly when he heard this: "Then who is in the Izumo Kingdom to garrison the capital?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the "Jade Dragon General" Bai Jingqi. ”
Zhuang Xun raised his eyebrows: "Is it him? I remember that he is also the eighteenth level of the acquired martial arts realm, right?"
Li Nanhe nodded yes.
"Izumo Na Izumo, in order to be able to garrison in my capital, even my daughter was sent. ”
Zhuang Xun waved his hand: "How about the black eagle you sent to Izumo Country?"
Li Nanhe's cloudy old eyes flashed a touch of gloom, and he replied softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the whole army of the shadows has been wiped out." ”
Zhuang Xun closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and forked the topic: "The envoy from Shangyuan Kingdom who came to marry Princess Zhuang Ya should be on the way, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. If there are no accidents, it will arrive in half a month, which is the day of your wedding. ”
A touch of grief flashed in Zhuang Xun's eyes, and he happened to be seen by Li Nanhe, who raised his head slightly, others may not know, but Li Nanhe, who watched Zhuang Xun grow up, is very clear, Princess Zhuang Ya was a nominal daughter carefully selected and adopted by the emperor from the Great Qian, and was given the name Zhuang Ya, her beauty is unparalleled, and her martial arts talent is extremely high.
Zhuang Xun and Zhuang Ya are also childhood sweethearts, and it is normal for them to have feelings for each other for a long time, but before the emperor died, in order to prevent the Great Qianguo from being attacked by the enemy, he married Zhuang Yaxu to Sima Changdao, the prince of Shangyuan Kingdom, this decision made Zhuang Xun sit motionless in front of the palace all night, and his gray hair was suddenly born.
"Okay, you stand down, I'll take care of the gods. Zhuang Xun closed his eyes and lay down again.
"Yes, the old minister retired. Li Nanhe bowed and left, and Zhuang Xun was once again left alone in the empty back garden.
Dongyang and Xi, shining on the body is very comfortable, Zhuang Xun, who was lying on the lawn, fell asleep after a while, no one noticed, the blood-colored jade toad on his neck flickered, and a wisp of golden breath quietly flowed out of the jade pendant, like a small golden dragon swimming, and it didn't enter Zhuang Xun's body in the blink of an eye.
Time continued to pass, a breeze blew, Zhuang Xun moved lightly, and in the dark corner of a red wall not far from him, a black figure appeared.
"Your Majesty, the identity of the old family has been ascertained. The figure in the corner said in a hoarse voice.
Zhuang Xun, who had just woken up from his sleep, was shocked when he heard this: "Oh?!, what is his identity? Izumo's spy? or Shangyuan?"
The figure was silent for a while and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it's not, Li Nanhe is the remnant of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was destroyed seventy years ago." ”
"Southern Tang Yuxi?!" Zhuang Xun's eyes widened suddenly, obviously shocked by the news.
"Well, the first emperor has long suspected his identity, and it has been about twenty years since he finally figured out his identity, Li Nanhe is extremely smart and forbearing, Shangyuan destroyed his country, but he endured humiliation and broke into the center of Shangyuan Kingdom, and became a spy sent to Izumo Kingdom, and then became a spy sent to my Daqian by Izumo Country, if it weren't for the emperor's hunting in the eastern suburbs when he was assassinated, Li Nanhe sacrificed his life to save him, and the set of fingering martial arts he displayed was quite similar to the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family's set of broken fingers to achieve a heavy, broken ten fingers and become a great success"Fingers of the Phaseless Robbery", I can't find out his specific identity even if I think about it. If my guess is correct, Li Nanhe's purpose is to overthrow Shangyuan, Izumo, and the Three Kingdoms of our Great Qian. ”
There was silence.
"The old family has been lonely all his life, more than eighty, alas...... Tiandu, spread my will......"
The cold wind in early winter was the most biting, Zhuang Xun sat quietly on the lawn, wrapped himself, looked into the distance, spit out a foggy white air in his mouth, and was silent for a long time.
