In late autumn and early winter, Nanchen ushered in the first snow of winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rain and snow are slightly clear, and pedestrians outside Xiling City come and go. A procession of horse-drawn carriages with royal flags marched towards the city gates, and the heavy wheels unique to the officials made a loud noise on the wet stone slabs, attracting passers-by to stop and watch all the way.

The guards in front and behind the carriage were all wearing the same clothes, brocade blue shirts into their waists, black silk trousers tied at their feet, gold knives and tooth tags hanging around their waists, and brown and red cowhide high boots, full of majesty.

The two carriages in the middle of the team are very conspicuous: a high-wheeled cart pulled by four pure white BMWs, the roof of the tall carriage is like a roof, the wheels are inlaid with gold nails, the railing of the carriage is cast in copper and poured with gold, and the body is hung with hollow jade pieces, the wind blows, and the crisp jingle is sprinkled all the way.

The other carriage was pulled by two brown BMWs, with an acacia flower-shaped body, a brocade curtain embroidered with plum blossoms and a light pink background, and the carriage was hung with the same hollow jade pieces.

The two carriages walked in the middle of the procession, one after the other, which attracted the surprise and curiosity of the onlookers all the way, and there were many discussions.

The carriage procession entered the Xiling City Gate in a mighty manner, and the guards guarding the city gate saluted respectfully, and watched the procession go away from afar, and several soldiers gathered together to discuss.

A soldier who missed the convoy and rushed over asked, "Is it the convoy of Xiao Yu, the king of Beijing?" ”

Another nodded: "Who else could it be?" There is not only one brother today, but that one—" He did not finish his words, and quickly looked around vigilantly, and curled his neck and mouthed.

The soldiers knew that Xiao Ting, the current Emperor of Southern Chen, originally had three brothers, and a former prince was imprisoned in the imperial city by Xiao Ting three years ago, and the outside world still does not know whether the former prince is alive or dead.

The other is Xiao Yu. It is said that he was exiled to the people in his early years. It wasn't until a few years ago that Xiao Ting was detained by the Song court when he asked for help from the Great Song Dynasty, and thanks to his activities in the Song court, Xiao Ting was able to get out smoothly.

Later, in the war between Nan Chen and Dayan, Xiao Yu contributed money and efforts to fight against Dayan with Xiao Ting. Because of these relationships, Xiao Ting only publicly announced and recognized Xiao Yu's identity after he ascended the throne.

At that time, Xiao Ting planned to crown Xiao Yu as the king, but Xiao Yu did not accept it, but proposed to give up the title and become an imperial merchant of Southern Chen.

Since becoming an imperial merchant, Xiao Yu left Nanchen for a long time, and some people say that he was doing business in the Song Kingdom, some people say that he was king in Qingzhou, and some people say that he went overseas - there are all kinds of legends.

Until the war broke out between the Great Yan and the Great Song Dynasty not long ago, the people in Southern Chen were panicked, and some ministers proposed to help the Great Song Dynasty, abandon their previous suspicions and join forces with the Great Song Dynasty to fight against Yan; Some people have a fluke mentality and propose to watch from the wall.

This kind of controversy spread to the government and the opposition, and the people of Nanchen passed through the invasion of Dayan, and everyone had a bitter hatred for Dayan, so they always paid attention to the battle of Yan and Song.

At this time, Qingfeng Village on the border of the Three Kingdoms raided Dayan Liaocheng overnight, and quickly and smoothly captured Liaocheng, and the leader was Xiao Yu.

When the news came back to Nan Chen, the whole country was shocked and celebrated, and the joy of taking revenge on the enemy made the people rejoice, and the people all passed Xiao Yu to be a hero of Nan Chen.

The ministers who advocated joining forces with the Song Dynasty wrote again, asking the Southern Chen court to send troops to Liaocheng at this time and join forces with Xiao Yu to attack Yan.

Originally, Xiao Ting was still hesitating, but later heard that Qingzhou had sent troops to help Xiao Yu, firstly, Xiao Ting was afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would get the fruits of victory first, and secondly, he was also afraid that the prestige of Xiao Yu's power would swell so much and threaten his interests, so after Qingfeng Zhai captured Liaocheng, Xiao Ting recruited several important ministers of the court into the palace overnight, and after some conspiracy, he quickly ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses to rush to help Xiao Yu.

The three parties gathered and captured the three cities of Dayan with rapid momentum. Xiao Yu led his troops to confront the Yan army in Yunzhou, but at this time, Xiao Ting, the emperor of Southern Chen, sent several confidants to Yunzhou to recruit Xiao Yu back to Beijing to be crowned.

The title has been given, Xiao Yu was named the king of Beijing, and several northern counties adjacent to Qingfeng Village on the border of Nanchen were given to Xiao Yu as fiefs, and the palace of the former king of Xiling County in Xiling City was rewarded to Xiao Yu. -- In this way, it is obvious that Xiao Yu is on guard.

However, the people have a wait-and-see attitude towards whether Xiao Yu will come back to accept the reward. After all, the current situation is so chaotic, and the current Emperor Xiao Ting of Nanchen is a monarch who is known for his harshness and suspicion, and governs the country with thunderous means, Xiao Yu can be king freely outside, and most of them will not be willing to return to Nanchen to be bound by Xiao Ting's control.

While the people of Nanchen were waiting and watching, they didn't want Xiao Yu to come back with the ministers sent out by Nanchen to announce the decree, so it was no wonder that the people and soldiers of Nanchen all the way would stop and watch and discuss.

Xiao Yu has returned, and he has played the banner of King Beijing all the way, it seems that he is ready to come back to accept Xiao Ting's control and restraint?

The people's understanding of this matter could only go so far, and the topic of discussion soon turned to another carriage.

"The four horses pulling the cart are the prince's car, so who is the other car?"

"Look at this frame, it's not ・・・・・・ ordinary people"

"Needless to say, parallel to the prince's car, the two horses pulling the cart are purebred sweat horses from Dayan. But, looking at the carriage, it was clearly a woman's car—"

"I haven't heard that the king of Beijing is married, if he marries, this time there will be a ・・・・・・ of the seal together"

The convoy entered Xiling City under the watchful eyes of everyone, and went straight to the Beijing Palace, which was given by Emperor Nanchen.

The former king of Xiling County was killed when Dayan attacked Xiling. The county king's family suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of the people who survived the disaster were taken by the emperor to Ling'an, the capital of Nanchen, and placed another mansion to support.

The palace has been sacked by the Great Yan army, and it has been renovated before it was given to Xiao Yu, and several gilded characters on the vermilion gate of the palace are written in the dragon and phoenix dance, which is from the handwriting of Xiao Ting, the emperor of Southern Chen.

The convoy stopped in front of the palace, the people in front of the palace surrounded the three layers inside and outside, the housekeepers and servants in the palace were neatly arranged on both sides at the door, the male housekeepers were all gray clothes and black pants, and the maids and servants were wearing lake green short coats with emerald gowns, and the lower body was tied with long skirts.

Jiang Li passed through the pink brocade curtain and glanced at the servants who came out to greet him outside the palace. According to a rough estimate, I am afraid of no less than 100 people. This battle made her have a headache.

Xiao Yu got down from the carriage in front of him, and the tsunami-like sound of seeing the prince sounded outside, Jiang Li's temperament should not have stage fright, but he was a little hesitant at this time.

Xiao Yu's cold voice had already sounded outside the car, and then the curtain of the car was raised, and the sleeves of the green brocade robe appeared outside the car where Jiang Li was sitting.

The two girls held the car curtain, and Aunt Hong put a golden butterfly cloak on Jiang Li's head in advance. Jiang Li got out of the car, and Xiao Yu, who was parked outside the car, stretched out a slender palm and pulled her hand.

Looking at Xiao Yu through the cloak, I saw that he had purple beads on his jade crown, a cloud brocade robe with blue brocade and scales, a smile in his eyes, an elegant jade face, and an idle noble and glorious body like the middle of the day, which made Jiang Li slightly stunned.

Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Li's face, stared at her and smiled slightly, and the two walked into the gate of the palace hand in hand, leaving a sigh and sigh outside the gate.
