Chapter Thirty-Seven: It's a Long Road

In the thirty-second year of Emperor Mingcheng, Zhang Zeyuan invaded Beijing, and the first place he went to after entering Beijing was not the palace, but the Jing'an Palace.

On that day, people were far away and heard heart-rending cries.

Legend has it that when Zhang Zeyuan came out of the Jing'an Palace, he was wearing the armor of King Jing'an before his death, holding a bayonet in his hand, and he killed all the way to the palace.

Later, people commented on Zhang Zeyuan, when describing his benevolence and fraternity, they always did not forget to mention that bloody history, of course, historians' comments on him took on a bit of official color, saying that he had an excellent political and iron-blooded hand, and also had a kind of Confucian loyalty to the lord.

Zhang Zeyuan's team of dead soldiers is worthy of being the elite of the elite, and it only took seven days for them to sweep away the entire political class with a cruel and almost suicidal method.

It is the remaining half of the people who have played a great deterrent role to ensure that Zhang Zeyuan ascends the throne smoothly, for the nobles in the court, he did not follow the original plan, all of them were sent down, but all of them were hung up with false posts, and they were paid on time every month, and there were also many preferential policies for the nobles to do business, for the families who were willing to accept this clause, Zhang Zeyuan gave appeasement, and for the fierce resistance of the family, Zhang Zeyuan decisively suppressed it, and left no one.

The rest of the important ministers of the court, Zhang Zeyuan, were all selected from the hermit forest, and most of them were scholars who advocated Confucianism and were similar to him.

Zhang Zeyuan's enthronement was set as the beginning of the light, the first year of the light, the new emperor held a ceremony after the seal, the new queen was tall and cold, but countless scars on the face, destroying her overall beauty, after which he did not accept a concubine, since then the queen has been living in the palace in a simple place, giving birth to two daughters and a son for the emperor. Some people say that the queen looks a little like the woman that King Jing'an was infatuated with back then, and everyone else scoffed at it, who didn't know that Dongshuanghua was a generation of beauty, how could the queen compare with her.

However, the new queen is indeed Winter Shuanghua, four of the ten maids that year, with her want to break out of the encirclement, but one by one died in front of her, the knife of the soldier in front of him looked like it was about to force over, the knife cut her face, and suddenly a strange white light emitted from the blood, the soldier seemed to be bewitched, approached her, licked her wounds, and then, slowly died miserably.

The people she saw, all rushed up like this, self-defeating, after the white light dimmed, this effect seemed to have faded a lot, at this moment, it was also the time when Chongsi Qing was caught, part of the troops were mobilized and guarded Chongsi Qing's dormitory, Dong Shuanghua finally escaped from the Jing'an palace before the white light disappeared.

After escaping, the memories of her childhood reappeared, and she almost screamed: "Xia Jingyu, you monster, you come out, what the hell did you do to me!?" Winter Frost, who had cried enough, took off the mask for so many years for the first time, and wept bitterly, tears eroded the wound, and it was extremely painful.

The injury on her face was not treated in time, leaving a scar, but she felt relieved, and also inquired about Chongsiqing's news, and after learning that he was under house arrest, she began to inquire about Zhang Zeyuan's news, speculating that Zhang Zeyuan might have escaped, she felt that her self-consciousness was small, and waited for Zhang Zeyuan's further actions. waited until he broke through the Beijing gate and entered the Jing'an Palace, at that time, she had been near the Jing'an Palace, she heard Zhang Zeyuan's shout, she seemed to understand something, and laughed maniacally.

After Zhang Zeyuan ascended the throne, he was also looking for the whereabouts of Dong Shuanghua, and the dead scattered some people to search for it in Beijing, and when the dead man found Dong Shuanghua, she was curled up on the side of the road, in rags, and she didn't see the slightest bit of the demeanor of the year, no different from a refugee. The dead man picked her up and said, "The emperor wants to see you." ”

Winter Shuanghua raised her head and showed a hopeful smile: "Is it King Jing'an who has come to me?" ”

Winter Frost Hua was brought into the palace, and the preliminary diagnosis was that it was stimulated, and it would be fine to recuperate slightly.

After Dongshuanghua came to his senses, Zhang Zeyuan came, and he explained everything that happened, from the dead man left behind, to the lame strategy, to the love between Chongsiqing and Xia Jingyu, all the way to the blood sacrifice. When he said this, he sighed: "I said that I would take Chong Siqing to see her, but as a result, I broke my promise." ”

As if she hadn't heard it, Dong Shuanghua talked about her experience to herself, she said: "I hate her, but I thank her for dying." After speaking, she closed her eyes tiredly, and did not explain whether she was thanking Xia Jingyu for not being there, or thanking her for her sacrifice.

"My veins are tainted by her, according to you, pure-blooded people can't see white light, but I can."

Zhang Zeyuan looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said: "This is a country built according to his vision, let's take care of it together, okay?" ”

Winter Shuanghua didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "Okay." ”

"I'll make you queen, okay?" Zhang Zeyuan continued to ask.

"Good ......" is a long time of silence, and after that, the waves are not alarmed.

~~~~~~~~

In the thirty-second year of Guangchu, a glazed-eyed woman appeared near the city gate, and the woman lingered outside the city gate for a long time, and then hesitated to walk in. ”

"Come to join a relative, the relative's family lives in the east of the city, surnamed Zhang ......" The woman reluctantly made up a reason based on her memory. The guards saw that she was a weak woman, and they had nothing to interrogate, but now that the prosperous world was peaceful, they let her in.

The woman's appearance is about sixteen or seventeen years old, she walked slowly on the street, her eyes were full of a faint confusion, it was almost noon, she turned into a teahouse, a pot of tea, the people on the table behaved elegantly, tasting the tea carefully, the woman also picked up the teacup according to the gourd painting, drank a cup,

This woman is Xia Jingyu, she woke up after thirty years of coma, she initially thought that she was just sleeping, the qiē around her was the same as before she closed her eyes, but the qiē around her was silent, she touched it out little by little according to the original memory.

After walking for a long time, she saw people, she hesitated and stepped forward to inquire about the news: "How to get from Luxian County here to the capital?" ”

The man was an old man in his forties and fifties, and he glanced at Xia Jingyu strangely: "Girl, Lu County was changed as early as thirty years ago when the new emperor ascended the throne and changed it to Jing County. ”

"Thirty years." Xia Jingyu was stunned for a moment, his face was not old, but he was already in his twilight years, "Is the new emperor the king of Jing'an?" ”

The old man's eyes became even more strange: "Girl, don't talk nonsense." With that, he hurried away.

Leaving Xia Jingyu alone in the same place, stunned for a long time, what did she say wrong?
