In the year 358 of the Great Moon Kingdom, Liu Bajiu, who had been a poor peasant for generations, gave birth to his fourth child.

Liu Bajiu, because he was born in August and ranked ninth, got this name, and his fourth son, according to this law of naming, naturally got the name Liu Si.

It is said that on the day Liu Si was born, there was a purple glow in the sky, and a huge butterfly flew into the thatched house of the Liu family.

I don't know if it's because Xiangrui or Liu Bajiu finally has a successor, Liu Si got more fatherly love than his three sisters after he was born, Liu Bajiu almost didn't let his little son do any work, and his three sisters naturally shared the part that originally belonged to Liu Si.

When he was free, Liu Si, who was three or four years old, always took advantage of his parents to work in the fields, and went to the sons of the landlords in the village. Later, Liu Bajiu's wife found out about her child's behavior, and originally told Liu Bajiu that she wanted him to teach this child a good lesson, but who knew that Liu Bajiu just laughed, and then personally sent his son to listen to the lessons outside the private school, and the teacher of the private school had no objection to this, in this world, it is good to have one more reader.

Once after class, it was late, it was the busy time of farming, Liu Bajiu had not finished his farm work, Liu Si could only wait under the window, he held a piece of charcoal in the window under the window to review the words taught by Mr. today in the moonlight, two butterflies were about to stop, dancing, suddenly heard Mr. in the window read "the moon shines in front of the window", and then there was no following for a long time, it turned out that Mr. was writing poems, but after a sentence, Mr. seemed to fall into contemplation, Liu Si looked at the two butterflies, he said "butterflies under the eaves" After hearing this, Mr. looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw two colorful butterflies fluttering under the eaves, and he was overjoyed.

On the second day, the only scholar in ten miles and eight townships came to the home of the poor peasant Liu Bajiu in person, and proposed to accept Liu Si as a closed disciple, and promised to be willing to pay out of his own pocket to be responsible for Liu Siyi's study expenses, and also poured Liu Bajiu's family a tael of silver every month as compensation for the loss of a labor force in the family, Liu Bajiu was overjoyed, and the good things that he could not dream of in this dream actually fell on him Liu Bajiu, and said that his life was good, he nodded and agreed after hesitating for a moment, after all, one or two silver, he couldn't earn it even if he was busy for a few months。

Since then, there is a child from a poor peasant family in the private school, this child does not live up to his husband's high hopes, poetry and songs at a young age, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all done to the true biography of Mr., only famous, quite a trend of blue out of blue is better than blue, at the age of sixteen, Mr. personally sent him to Beijing for the scientific examination, Liu Si a policy of the country was shocked by the main examination, the second day of the list, that the policy of the country fu turned out to be the son of the left minister Li Tao said written, Liu Si ranked second, the left phase of the concierge on the day on the Liu Simen, sent a gold hundred taels plus an official hat of promise, of course, there are not obedient and obedient how to hint。

On the second day, Liu Si hung up the seal and left.

Since then, there is one less literati Liu Si in the world, and one more martial artist Liu Qingshan, I see how charming Qingshan is, and I hope Qingshan will see me the same, Liu Qingshan with the disappointment of this dynasty, with the sympathy of the children of the poor family who suffered with him, his martial arts practice has been practiced to the Mahayana, he shook his arms, all the people gathered, and in just a few years, he laid down the rotten Dayue Kingdom, founded the country as Zhao, called Emperor Zhao Ming.

Liu Bajiu didn't expect that he would become the emperor of Zhao State.

Yongcheng, the capital of Zhao State, since the founding of the capital of Zhao ancestor Liu Qingshan, here is the capital of Zhao State, it is said that Liu Qingshan's husband is named Huang Yong.

At this time, there is a academy next to the Yongcheng Imperial Palace, and a middle-aged man in a yellow Confucian costume in the academy is telling the story of the ancestor Liu Qingshan to many small royal nobles, although this story will be told on the first day of every month, Mr. Si Shenri, it can be said that many of the little emperors here can memorize themselves, but today they still listen very seriously, because the storyteller is not someone else, and the current Zhao Emperor Liu Yuanche.

Liu Yuanche looks ordinary, and his figure is not tall, because he bows down to correct the recital all the year round, he is only over fifty years old, his back is a little rickety, and his temples also have gray hair, so he looks like an ordinary rich idler.

It's just that his eyes are shining, so people don't dare to look at it directly, only when they see his eyes, people will think of which emperor he is who broke the Three Kingdoms, destroyed the Zhenlin family, overwhelmed the heavens, and swept through several major sects in the Northern Regions.

The little imperial nobles finished the class, and the eunuchs and palace maids led out of the academy, and the emperor sat on the steps with a whip in his hand, he looked at the future of these Liu families and sighed a little, there is a dynasty of 10,000 years, and he insisted on telling these little princes the story that he had heard countless times every month, just to let the children remember that there is no permanent dynasty, but how long the dynasty can exist depends on them.

Liu Yuanche sat on the steps, next to him stood at some point a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt, the man sat beside Liu Yuanche informally, he held a bunch of grapes in his hand, he picked one and still put it in his mouth, and did not want to share it with His Majesty the Emperor, Liu Yuanche seemed to have long been accustomed to his appearance, he looked at the handsome man next to him, who looked only in his early 20s, and the scary man who was actually old smiled and said, "Teacher, why are you here"

The man in the Confucian shirt waved his hand and said, "I'm not your teacher, your emperor has only one teacher, that is the master, my emperor's majesty, don't you hurt me, as for why I came, don't you know?"

Liu Yuanche looked at this real immortal figure in the eyes of mortals, and he remembered that when he first met him with his father, he saw him sitting on the railing, eating grapes like this, looking at his young self. Stingy, he was reluctant to hand over a grape, "Then, look at your eyes, you want to eat, if you want to eat, call my brother! Brother will give you grapes!" At that time, he was unscrupulous, and he called out "brother"

The first emperor laughed, and didn't want to stop this messy and unsightly generation, this "brother" he called for 18 years, until he ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he no longer let him call him brother, he 18 years, he taught him martial arts, taught him the strategy of governing the country and the country, but did not teach him the Taoist immortal arts, he said that if you live for a long time, you will be tired, you are even more tired as an emperor, since you are so tired, don't live for so long.

Seeing that he was dazed, the man in the Confucian shirt picked a grape, handed it to him and said, "Daze again, it's okay." I'll give you a grape."

Liu Yuanche took the grapes and carefully put them in his mouth, it was still the taste of the year.

Liu Yuanche said, "Do you know the situation in Feng'an Town?"

The man in the Confucian shirt snorted coldly, "My divine sense naturally knows, you obviously care, and you don't know how to send more masters, do you know that now this Feng'an Town is like a hell on earth, and the gods and monks may all die for a lifetime, and you leave him in it, not afraid of being eaten to the bones?"

Liu Yuanche heard the man in the Confucian shirt say such a dangerous thing, his face kept changing, and finally he was shocked again, and he said silently, "Who made him my son, so many people died, why don't you kill him!"

When the man in the Confucian shirt heard him say this, he was obviously a little angry, picked dozens of grapes and threw them into his mouth together, he said, "I don't care if it's your son or not, but he is Xiao Duoer's child, Liu Yuanche, he can die on the battlefield openly, and die in the court situation of fighting openly and secretly with your sons, but for your country, for your people, for the overall situation, he wants to die in the rivers and lakes, in the hands of Xiu Zhenren, you can't save you when you see death, but I don't allow it, I Mu Xingxu said no, and no one wants his life!"

Liu Yuanche knew that the man in the Confucian shirt didn't say big things, but you saved one person, how to save a country.

His hands trembled a little, why didn't he want to save his own child, he knew that Feng'an had changed, how could he send Liu Zheng to where, it was better to send a few commanders of the Poshen Army to do things directly, it was a good thing for the country and the people, but Liu Zheng had already entered the game, how could he pretend not to know.

In the emperor's family, there are many compulsions, his every move is related to the whole world, and it is better not to know some things than to know. He said unhurriedly, "The Broken God Army came to report, saying that he appeared in Feng'an Town, if you can, after Feng'an Town, can you go to see him on my behalf and see if it is really him"

Mu Xingxi, the man in the Confucian shirt, heard this, he was obviously very interested in him in Liu Yuanche's mouth, and he smiled and said, "Oh, he appeared, thousands of years, he finally appeared, even if you don't say it, I will go and see where he is sacred!"

Liu Yuanche knew that Mu Xingxu had always been unscrupulous, and he advised, "Please take care of him more, he is very important to our Liu family!"

Mu Xing said in an unprecedented way, "You still need to teach me these things, and I will naturally understand them clearly." ”

Liu Yuanche was relieved, and he asked again, "Can you see the situation in Feng'an Town now?"

Mu Xingxu smiled and said, "I thought you were really hard-hearted, don't worry, with me watching, nothing big will happen, it's good to sharpen him as soon as he arrives, but if they interfere, I can't go to the body, I'm afraid there is no way."

Liu Yuanche looked up at the rows of roofs, the roofs of the royal academies were much higher than those of the commoners, and he muttered, "That's enough, that's enough, as for their shots, that's his life, don't go, count me beg you, for the hundreds of millions of people in Zhao Kingdom."

Mu Xingxi snorted coldly, but this time he didn't refute for the first time, his body flashed away, and disappeared into this academy that had taught countless emperors.

Liu Yuanche looked at the direction where he disappeared, he was a little distracted, he said to himself, "Xiao Duo'er, I'm also old, old, but I don't dare to come down to see you, I'm afraid that you will laugh at me when you see my old dragon clock, our Zheng'er has grown up, he looks more like you, and he looks as good as you, don't tell you, I don't want him to be the emperor, because the emperor is too tired, if he can't come back this time, I will come to accompany you soon, and when you get below, you will beat me hard, and I will be scattered." I'm sorry for you two. Xiao Duo'er, I miss you, if it weren't for this emperor, I would have come down to accompany you a long time ago... It's so tiring to be an emperor."

The Royal Academy, on the stone steps of the Diligent School Palace, the one who has been on the throne for 28 years has been correcting the recital until late at night, and the one who has never been early in the morning, the emperor of Zhao Liu Yuanche, who is known for his diligence and love for the people, fell asleep on the steps, and he who had always been calm burst into tears at this time.

On the roof of the Qinxue Palace, a man in a Confucian shirt slept in the eaves, picked up the wine jug around him with one hand, poured a sip, and grabbed a handful of grapes from the jade plate, the grapes were crystal clear, he swallowed them in one gulp, and the grapes under the wine were like tears on the face, and like the wine in the pot, bittersweet and sweet in his heart...
