At the top of the mountain, the moonlight poured silently, and the wind stopped. Siye only had Zhang Ci's nice voice slowly telling an unknown history a thousand years ago.

In history, the proud daughter of heaven who grew up under great power loved such a person with all her heart. For this reason, her mother and the matrilineal power have chosen to support such a person to rule the world. And she really got her wish, became the queen of the Han Dynasty, lived in the Jiaofang Palace, and left a good story of the golden house.

She is the queen of the Han Dynasty, and she is also a woman in love. The road was paved by her mother and grandmother, and she married the man she loved, and became the supreme queen, who never knew that the world was sinister and could not tolerate the slightest grievance. One thing she knew was that she loved him, and loved someone with a pure heart, not an emperor.

Yes! She is too proud, too simple, and thinks too beautifully. She doesn't understand that men are naturally fond of the new and hate the old, and she doesn't understand that men who are in charge of the world are originally ruthless and can be more tempted; She didn't understand the power struggle, and when he ascended to the throne, her family became a stumbling block for him and a thorn in his side.

Under power, there is no love. In the eyes of the emperor, there is only the world.

The proud girl of heaven who was born with a golden key in her mouth didn't understand. Therefore, the day when Princess Guantao's power was completely collapsed was also the day when her disaster came. It is only a matter of time before her position as queen is replaced, not by Wei Zifu, but also by Li Zifu and Wang Zifu.

However, she didn't understand that she loved that man with all her heart.

Later, after a series of changes, the only thing he remembered his old love was to spare her life and throw her into the Changmen Palace to face the bleak long night.

In that deserted Nagato Palace, how did this woman spend those cold and bleak days, and how did she pull out the knife that her favorite man stabbed in her heart inch by inch, so that the wound was scarred. These details are not in the chapter of the legend, nor are they written in the genealogical biography of the Zhang family.

In history, this tragic woman who was crazy about love did not save the man's heart even if her daughter bought a similar gift. In the end, she was depressed and finally Nagato Palace, until the moment of death, she still thought of that man, and she was not enlightened until she died.

However, in Zhang Ci's narration, in the genealogical biography of Zhang's family rent. This proud girl of the sky, guarding the bleak cold moon in the deserted Nagato Palace, comprehended inch by inch. Eventually, she realized that her past life was too narrow, that she shouldn't focus on that man in her life, she should go outside and see the wider world.

So, she packed up, borrowed all kinds of classics, and even the chronicles of scenery. In the end, on a moonlit night with few stars, he quietly left Nagato Palace. She is a queen who is not favored, and the palace people are not very welcome, so that she has been missing for many days, and the palace does not know about it. When the palace people found out, they reported to Wei Zifu. Wei Zifu sent someone to look for him, but on the other hand, he informed the emperor that Chen Jiao was seriously ill and wanted to see him. Wei Zifu is such a smart woman, she knows very well that this man who is decisive in killing is still ashamed of the Nagato Palace. Because he didn't really love her, marrying her and giving her the most beautiful dreams was just taking advantage of her. There was no way for him to face her purest love.

Sure enough, the emperor did not go to Nagato Palace to see her, and soon after, she died of illness.

Did the emperor go to see the desertion of Changmen Palace alone, history, legends, and genealogy of the Zhang family are not written. Those trivial things are insignificant.

Chen Jiao, who had an epiphany, walked out of Changmen Palace, walked out of her obsession with that man, and began to travel around, to appreciate the customs and customs of various places, and to feel the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of ordinary people. In the first spring and March after she ran away, she met the man who did his best to protect her in the cold sunlight of Weishui.

Zhang Ci said that the Zhang family had an autobiographical diary of Chen Jiao, which was not recorded much. However, we can see the romantic time and footprints of the ancestors at that time, and we can also know why the ancestors later made firearms.

When the two first met, they hit it off at first sight, and they chatted along the barren and bleak Weishui River in the cold sunshine of March. Chen Jiao was amazed by the erudition of this white-robed son, and felt that he was the most knowledgeable man she had ever seen. He told her about the movement of the sun and the moon, the growth of a weed, and the change of phenology and seasons

He said so much that she listened attentively, and before she knew it was getting dark. Later, I learned that the white-robed boy was also a child of Shuzhong who traveled around. The two of them walked together and headed south.

Along the way, he and she helped many people displaced by natural disasters and famines. Eventually, they led the men to settle down in a remote valley in Pengcheng.

The ancestors of the Zhang family built their own ideal country in that valley. He designed that valley as a new city, with strong walls, a reasonable urn city. From the outside, it is the same as most cities at that time, but the inside is full of the wild imagination and handwriting of the ancestors of the Zhang family.

He designed a scientific water supply and drainage system and built a biogas digester. Every household in the city uses biogas for cooking and heating. He also taught the art of iron smelting and salt making, as well as the techniques of making various utensils, which were unheard of at the time.

He then traveled far and wide to find new rice seeds and improve them. Then he personally taught people to cultivate, to grow crops, to grow herbs, to grow tea trees. After that, he exchanged tea with Hu people for horses. Those Hu people called those tea leaves a gift from the gods.

Not only that, but he also used some methods that no one understands to smelt glass.

"Glass?" When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the scholar not only tinkered with firearms, but actually burned glass in Dahan.

"Yes. The patriarch said that it was a way for his hometown. He made clear mirrors, bottles, cups, and beautiful beads out of glass. He got a lot of money outside to build his new city. It can be said that at that time, that one was a paradise, and the people in it lived well. Families eat meat, rice, and good wine. Every household is well fed and clothed. Zhang Ci replied.

Chen Qiuniang sighed and said: "He is an idealist, he doesn't know the sinister human heart at all, and he doesn't know the darkness of politics. He really shouldn't be so ostentatious, it's just too ostentatious. ”

Damn, it's really a **traverser, and there is no sinister concept of people's hearts at all. Chen Qiuniang despised Zhang Ci's ancestor in her heart.

Zhang Ci also agreed with Chen Qiuniang's opinion, nodded, and said, "Yes." He has excellent skills, but he doesn't understand politics. Soon after, he made guns to protect his city. ”

Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but pat her forehead, thinking to herself what kind of **-type character this is, how dare she do anything, it's just a rhythm of finding death every minute.

"You know guns?" Zhang Ci suddenly asked alertly.

Chen Qiuniang was taken aback, and immediately said with a puzzled look: "I don't know, why do you ask me like this?" ”

"I saw you pat your forehead and think you knew what a gun is." Zhang Ci said truthfully.

Chen Qiuniang immediately shook her head again and said, "I don't know what a gun is." I just had a headache just now, so I just patted it. ”

"Sick?" Zhang Ci didn't continue to talk about his ancestors, but reached out and touched her forehead, compared it very seriously for a while, and said, "It seems to be a little hotter than mine." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Go on, what is that gun? What happened? Chen Qiuniang hurriedly asked, covering up this embarrassment.

"Later, when I went to do business with someone, they wanted to rob them of their goods. The two sides fought, and the men led by the ancestors used guns. Well, a gun is a short firearm that can be hidden in the sleeve. Such a long look. Zhang Ci gestured the length of the gun.

"So, for the first time, firearms came into play, and they came out? Was Liu Che known? Chen Qiuniang asked. In my heart, I also despised the ancestors of the Zhang family again, because the IQ is really high, but the EQ is really not flattering.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "That time, the people who traded with the ancestors were completely killed and buried on the spot. No one knew about the advent of the gun. The ancestors returned to the city. ”

"I guess I'm afraid of being discovered. After all, once this kind of thing is discovered, it is an endless disaster. Chen Qiuniang took the conversation.

Zhang Ci nodded and continued to talk about the deeds of the ancestors of the Zhang family. The ancestor built a new city for Chen Jiao in the valley near Pengcheng, and tried his best to let her live a new life. At the same time, it also taught her a lot of knowledge. Astronomy and geography, mathematics, geometry, music and art, all kinds of knowledge are much more than she has learned.

He opened a wonderful door for her. She was very happy in this city, especially when she heard the news that Chen Ajiao had died of illness after the abolition of the Han Dynasty, she was even more relieved.

She is studying hard every day, and she feels that life here is true happiness. This kind of life is life. Soon after, bored, she opened a school and began to teach the children.

The ancestors of the Zhang family built a priceless city of happiness and beauty for her, named it Jiaocheng, and proposed to her. Happiness is at your fingertips, Chen Jiao feels that she in the past years is simply ridiculous, and today's days are the days of people.

However, she belongs to the past and cannot avoid it. Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, she still fully revealed her identity to the ancestors of the Zhang family. Chen Jiao wrote in her diary: I thought about concealing it, but because I cared about him, I wanted to be honest. I know I may lose, but I'd rather make it clear now than the hurt of being poked in the future. Moreover, I believe that this person does not care who I really am or what kind of past I have.

After that, she said who she was. The Mr. Xueba just said "oh" and said: "No wonder when I first saw you, you talked extraordinarily and gestured, all of which were majestic." I'm still wondering which noble girl in Chang'an you came out to experience life. ”

"Then will you—" Chen Jiao didn't finish her words.

Mr. Xueba was quite smart, so he waved his hand and said, "Hey, forget about the past." I can't give you the status and prestige of the queen, I can only give you a city of dreams, are you willing to marry? ”

Chen Jiao cried with joy, hugged him tightly, and said, "I am willing, I am willing." ”

The two held a wedding in Jiaocheng and prepared to live a peaceful and beautiful life. Just hold hands like that, never give up, until the gray hair is gray.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may still have loved such a woman, or he suddenly remembered that there was once such a woman who loved him and loved him without any utilitarianism, regardless of whether he was favored or not. Therefore, the emperor went to Changmen Palace on a whim, and accidentally learned about Wei Zifu's deception and Chen Jiao's disappearance.

In a fit of rage, he fanned a palace person and left Weiyang Palace fiercely. At night, he summoned his henchmen and began to search for Chen Jiao's whereabouts.

Chen Jiao came all the way and did not hide too much traces of her path and activities. Therefore, Liu Che soon knew that she was in Pengcheng, and also knew about Jiaocheng, and she got married.

What kind of mood the first emperor of the ages was, others don't know. In short, he didn't care about it, and came to Pengcheng for the queen's micro-clothes that he abolished with his own hands. He was stationed in Pengcheng for a month and sent countless spies to investigate Jiaocheng. This inquiry, this Emperor of the Ages was taken aback, the city lord was simply a top talent who fell from the sky.

Originally, Liu Che wanted to kill her and take Chen Ajiao away, but as for whether to kill Chen Ajiao, or take her back to Changmen Palace to continue to be imprisoned, or want to find a palace outside to be a real "Golden House Hidden Jiao", others don't know. In short, he came to Pengcheng to take Chen Jiao away. However, Jiaocheng shocked him and showed him a city that was better than he had ever imagined.

That man is a rare talent. After all, Liu Che is a qualified emperor, and when he occasionally comes to Pengcheng out of control, what he thinks about at this moment is not Chen Ajiao, but the future of the entire Han Empire. If every city can be like Jiaocheng, if Jiaocheng's various advanced technologies can be promoted

When Liu Che learned about Jiaocheng's qiē, he looked at himself in a mirror bought by his subordinates and imagined the future. He couldn't help but feel excited.

That man, thou shalt not be killed.

Liu Che made that decision and let his subordinates continue to investigate. Then, his subordinates brought back even more shocking news, that is, about the gun as a weapon. His subordinates recounted for him in detail the story of the Jiaocheng people's counterattack against the looters. Liu Che was completely shocked, as soon as he thought that such a powerful weapon would be used to kill the Huns, he would definitely be ashamed and sweep away the enemy.

That person, really can't be killed.

Fate made a mistake and brought Liu Che to Pengcheng, breaking the dream of a couple of men and women to live an ordinary life. Liu Che finally chose to knock directly on the door of Jiaocheng, walked into Jiaocheng with a loud bang, and sat opposite the ancestor of the Zhang family in Chen Ajiao's miserable face. He ignored Chen Jiao's cunning and directly chose the lure of high-ranking officials Houlu, hoping that the man in front of him with beautiful eyebrows would serve the Han Empire.

"I don't like to be an official, and I'm not short of money. I just want to live an ordinary life here. The ancestor of the Zhang family replied very calmly.

Liu Che continued to press his temperament and said: "The people of the world are in dire straits. Sir, why not save the people from fire and water? If Mr. agrees, I will fully support him. ”

The ancestor of the Zhang family faced his wife's ex-husband, the emperor of this country, and still replied very calmly: "All the people in the world have their own destiny." Moreover, I am not noble, and I have no heart to save all nations. I just want to live an ordinary life with my wife. ”

Liu Che sneered and said, "You don't know who she is?" ”

"I know, but when you threw her into Nagato Palace, she had nothing to do with you. You don't cherish a woman who loves you, but you still come to disturb his happiness. I look down on you. The ancestor of the Zhang family still spoke calmly, and he did not respect the other party as the emperor at all.

Liu Che was furious, sneered and looked at Jiaocheng, and said, "I can make this city collapse in an instant." ”

"Push me hard, your enemies will be stronger than you think." As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, the cannon fire came out for the first time, and it was a shocking shot, overturning the entire Jiaocheng in a large area.

Liu Che looked at the charred black land and didn't say a word.

"Please don't come and disturb my life with Jiaojiao." The ancestor of the Zhang family stood up and saluted Liu Che, then stood up straight, and said, "I don't like the Xiongnu who plundered and burned, but if Your Majesty really pushes me, I don't mind letting the Xiongnu become stronger." ”

"How dare you threaten me." Liu Che was furious, and the long sword was between his neck.

The ancestor of the Zhang family was not afraid, but said with a smile: "When I married Jiaojiao, I had already made preparations. Your Majesty has also seen the weapons I made, and I have already greeted those people, and if I have any strengths and weaknesses with Jiaojiao, I will hand over all the advanced weapons to your enemies, the Huns, and those princes and kings who are ready to move. Majesty, look at this picturesque country, are you willing to break the net with me? ”

Liu Che didn't say anything, just turned to look at Chen Jiao, his eyes were cold, and said, "Hello, very good." ”

"yes, I'm doing well now." Chen Jiao replied calmly, and there was no longer the same fanaticism and attachment in her eyes.

Liu Che brushed his sleeves away, no one knew what he was thinking.

And it was also after this time that the ancestors of the Zhang family dismissed the people of Jiaocheng, hid them in various places, and mixed into the major families. razed Jiaocheng to the ground, and at the same time, dressed up in disguise, took Chen Jiao, who was pregnant, all the way to the west, all the way to Shuzhong.

"You've come to Liuhe Town?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "This Liuhe Town was selected later. Of course, they went to the Nanzhao countries and lived there in peace. Because he has always guarded against Liu Che, he has never left behind the technology of making firearms. Of course, the technology of making firearms also depends on the technology of iron smelting and paper making. And the ancestors taught these techniques to trustworthy people. Those who can be trusted are scattered all over the world, and because of advanced technology, they can quickly accumulate wealth. This is what became the Nine Great Families. Of course, Liu Che did not give up his efforts to get firearms, and spent his whole life looking for ways to make firearms, and all his life he sent people to infiltrate Zhang's house to steal technology. Unfortunately, this technology is not available to the Zhang family, but requires the technology of the nine families to be combined. But Liu Che was also afraid that the Zhang family would be a very powerful person, and if he held a firearm again, his picturesque country would be lost. So, he sent a top-notch master to assassinate the ancestors of the Zhang family—"

Zhang Ci paused when he said this. Chen Qiuniang had already guessed the result, but she still asked softly in disbelief: "Your ancestor was murdered by someone sent by Liu Che?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Ci nodded and added, "He has six children, and when the youngest son was born, he was unfortunately plotted. After all, he couldn't grow old with his wife. Later, his wife raised six children. ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard this result, she was a little sad and was silent for a long time. It suddenly occurred to her that she knew the origin of the Zhang family's firearms, but in this process, Zhang Ci never mentioned the Zhang family's ancestral training and coming to Liuhe Town.

"What's going on with the Zhang family's ancestral training? How did you move to Liuhe Town? Chen Qiuniang asked immediately. She suddenly had a bold guess: There is more than one traverser in this Zhang family, or there are cattle people who have crossed.

"Well, Zu Xun!" Zhang Ci looked at Chen Qiuniang with some embarrassment.

"If you can't say it, don't say it. I just think that your family's ancestral teachings were formulated by your ancestor who made firearms? Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "No." My family's ancestral motto was formulated by the seventh generation of ancestors, and the seventh generation of ancestors is called Zhang Ye. Because of the firearms, the Zhang family has been infiltrated by enemies for generations, and there are also people who monitor them. And the clever man has been killed since childhood. There were already a lot of children of the Zhang family at that time, and they all felt that they were going to make firearms on a large scale, compete in the Central Plains, and unify the world. At this time, the seventh generation of ancestors took charge of the Zhang family, said no, and said that the emperor is the arrangement of the gods, and we can't go against the sky. It is necessary to protect the emperor from the throne of God. At first, everyone was not convinced. However, his predictions are very accurate, such as what year something big will happen, who will rebel in which year, who will die, and who will be emperor. His magic weapons are all plain and clear. Therefore, the nine major families all believed in my seven generations of ancestors. Then there was the ancestral teaching: no firearms should be used in war, no usurpation of the emperor's heart, only try to assist the emperor who belongs to the mandate of heaven to the throne, the Zhang family will be prosperous for a long time, and will not be destroyed. "Well, Zu Xun!" Zhang Ci looked at Chen Qiuniang with some embarrassment.

"If you can't say it, don't say it. I just think that your family's ancestral teachings were formulated by your ancestor who made firearms? Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "No." My family's ancestral motto was formulated by the seventh generation of ancestors, and the seventh generation of ancestors is called Zhang Ye. Because of the firearms, the Zhang family has been infiltrated by enemies for generations, and there are also people who monitor them. And the clever man has been killed since childhood.
